Re: Toshiba C655-S5128 power problems
Thanks Spidey, i think it is V000225000.
By the way, you asked if BIOS would work for a few seconds or a long time? Before the computer died completely, I could look around in BIOS all I wanted to. But as soon as it tried to boot from HD, thats when it would shut down or go into black screen. I know Master Boot Record problem will do that, but the computer would not boot from DVD if I chose that option (it would just shut off). So I think there was a power problem then, and there is definitely a power problem now!

Re: Toshiba C655-S5128 power problems
Hi Spidey, the MOBO code is 6050A2355202-MB-A03-T1
Does that seem right? Is there any database showing common problems with this MOBO? thanks! - John...

Re: Toshiba C655-S5128 power problems
It will not startup on battery alone, or with brick, so I cannot get to BIOS setup.
I will try to get the MOBO code tonight, thanks much spidey and ben7!
In the meantime, it sounds like a straightforward power problem, so one of those 8 pin power ICs maybe?

The model number is in the title of my post.
Yes, I have tried the 30 sec power button trick.
What next? Thanks

Re: Toshiba C655-S5128 power problems
Thanks, but I just now tried a known good brick and got the same results. If someone can point me to a good Toshiba power supply basics post I will try to take it from there.
Or maybe someone had the same problem with their Toshiba laptop?Last edited by johnnysnavely; 04-09-2013, 05:20 PM.

Toshiba C655-S5128 power problems
Thanks for letting me join the forum! I used to repair stereo and TV in the 80's and have fixed all my electronics since then.
A friend asked me to fix his laptop. At first, it would go through BIOS and then die as soon as it started booting from HD. I removed the HD, and verified that wasn't the problem. I had to do a scan disk and fix the Master Boot and now the HD is fine.
Put the HD back in the computer and same thing happened - it died as soon as it start booting.
Here's where it gets interesting. Next, I took the battery out and tried starting it up...Last edited by johnnysnavely; 04-09-2013, 05:09 PM.
