Toshiba NB200 Weird Problem
Hi folks.
They brought me a toshiba NB200 netbook which was not powering on at all. I am familiar with the bios issue on these NB200 and despite the usual symptoms are black screen or stuck at the Toshiba logo i replaced the bios chip anyway.
The netbook powered up, loaded windows and everything seemed fine. I shut down to put all the screws in place and after that again not powering on (power button not responding).
After various checks i end up with this conclusion: The netbook will power on once and work flawelessly, even perform restarts and shut downs but once i remove the charger it goes dead again. The only way to revive it is to disconnect the internal keyboard, power on (yeah it works all the times with no keyboard) and attach the keyboard without removing the power cable (you can shut it down or not; doesn't seem to make a difference).
I have tried 2 replacement keyboards and does the same thing so it's not from the keyboard and since the keyboard works when the machine works it's not from the KBC either.
I do not have a replacement battery to check how it goes while running on battery and its own battery is completely dead. The CMOS battery reads 3.2V which is ok and i'm in dead end with this.
Got any ideas?
