*Toshiba satellite m35x-s161 laptop not booting up.

Hello everyone!

About 3 years ago I bought a Toshiba satellite m35x-s161 laptop.
(Celeron M350, 1.3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 60GB hard drive)

About 4 months ago I developed the following problem:

When I turn it on, the main power indicator lights up as well as the little
power indicator in
front of the laptop, I hear the fan for about 6 seconds, then it goes silent
and lights still remains
on but nothing comes on the screen, not even the options like F2 or press
F11 for BIOS optios.
I continue seeing the lights that indicates it is on and the light of the
battery, amber if it not charged
or turn green if I let it charge.

That’s all I get, it won’t boot up.

I placed a boot up cd in the cd tray to see if I could boot it up that way
to no avail.
I carefully removed the LCD and checked the connection.
I connected a crt monitor to see if it was the laptop LCD (I made sure I
pressed
the Fn+F5 to change display mode) to no avail.
I did let the battery charge until light turned green.
I removed hard drive, memory, battery and placed it back making sure it was
connected right.
I let it sat on for about 4 hours to see if maybe it would start loading but
nothing happened.
I turned on without battery to no avail

Any suggestions in the subject?

Regards,

Kathy
