Re: Toshiba Satellite C650 power on issue

I had this problem from my old Satellite L series. After few times removing and installing the memory card (RAM) the card contacts tend to break the solder joints. These are fine contact leads that are soldered to the main board. You might need some special equipment to resolder the joints. I used a hot air soldering station to resolder the joints and it worked. Then I sold my laptop to a friend and so far it still works up to now. Maybe this problem of yours is just a cold solder joint on the card contacts.
