    Weird Toshiba R600 boot issue

    Hi all,

    Had this Toshiba R600 from a friend for a while. The issue:

    Plug in DC adapter, white charging LED lights up.
    Press on button - white charging LED converts to amber flashing light with the following error code (in case anyone knows the Tosh codes!): 1) short 2) long 3)short 4) short 5) short 6) short 7) short 8) long

    Very, very rarely, it will turn on and boot up out of the blue, albeit very slowly.

    Tried another BIOS battery to no avail - any ideas where to check before I dig into the machine?

    Edit

    I believe this to be the code meaning:

    14h
    Current sensing IC is not normal.

    Or - some places say you read it LSF first, in which case it would be 82h?

    Edit again!

    Found the service manual. It's 82h - 1GD-PGV voltage is under 0.425V when the computer is booting up.

    The service manual says "replace system board." USEFUL!
