I have a Toshiba L500D LA-4971P that was dead except for the power and charge lights. After a bios re-program and a northbridge reflow it will now post. However, it gives a "System Configuration Data Read error" and then wants you to press F1/F2 etc. Changes to BIOS make no difference and the error stays. It won't boot a HDD and gives a "no operating system error". Funny thing is a windows CD sees the drive but the install fails. Several HDD's have been tried. It also won't post if the top Ram slot is occupied.
Would you say this is a northbridge error, particularly as the reflow managed to get it this far and the dead ram slot is a northbridge symptom too, isn't it?.
