Hi gorrilla82, hi everyone

Just a thought...
It appears to be a older model (AMD K6-2 400MHz), SATELLITE 2105CDS Product Specifications (Adobe Acrobat Reader required.)
It could be the CMOS battery that is worn out. It could also have to do with the battery-pack that needs replacement.


Just being curious...
When you turn it on and it does nothing, it doesn't even show the Toshiba in touch with tomorrow screen?

Best Regards and Wishes,

My laptop is a Satellite 1805 s-207 model, and it's doing the same thing. It was working fine the night before, but now, when I hit the power button, the power light comes on but that's it. The screen doesn't turn on or anything. I can play CDs in the CD-Rom drive though, and the fan will turn on if it's "on". It's not my battery, I don't think because it gets drained and it'll charge back up...does anyone have ANY idea what might be wrong with it and how I can fix it?? All my computer programs I need for school are on my laptop....
