Hello everyone,
Got this in yesterday. Customer said it was hanging with spinning circle.
I go to there place and sure enough it hangs when I try it.
Could not get into BIOS using the various Toshiba Methods.
Fan was spinning and powered up
I even got to the Toshiba Splash logo once.
Then it died on me.
Fan would only come a few seconds then stop
Ok, back to the shop and same thing, fan spins about 3-5 seconds then stops
After trying the following I'm thinking bad motherboard.
You're thoughts please.
Satellite s55-c5274
Will not Post or go into BIOS
Tried Different Power Adapters
Power appears to go to the board as power light stays on
Fan will spin for about 5 seconds then shut off
CPU or Heatsink does not get hot, not even what I would call warm
Removed Ram and DVD
Removed and re-installed Fan and CPU with new paste
No beeps or sounds with ram removed
Replaced CMOS battery after leaving it out for 15 minutes
Hard Drive is out and bad. I'm recovering her data via dd_rescue
Anything I've Missed
Thank you.
