NB205 wont turn on - Please help

I found this thread posted in September. My problem is the same as these people:
http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/Batteries-and-Power/A205-S5804-Will-not-turn-on-power-and-battery...
No useful support has been offered for his question yet so I posted my question here. I hope someone can help me solve this problem.
In the last week my Toshiba NB205 has had trouble turning on. When I turn it off I would take several attempts to turn it back on. Naturally, I avoided the problem as best I could. This morning I have been unable to get my notebook to turn on at all. Please help.
To help make my problem as clear as possible. The battery does hold a charge and is charged. The power cord is connected and plugged into a live outlet. When my the NB205 boots into Windows everything seems to work as expected. The only problem is getting this POS to turn on. (Forgive the language.)

I had the same problem this morning.  I found this on another site (Fixit) and it worked for me. - Kathy
"Here is the fix my Toshiba laptop also wouldn’t turn on so I called them and here is what you do1. unplug the laptop
2.take out the battery
3.hold down the power button for 20 seconds (doing this drains any excess power fron the unit)
4.put battery back in
5.plug in laptop
6.try to turn it on
hope this helps"

  • Ipod 5 wont turn on please help

    Help! My Ipod 5 touch wont turn on!
    what happened: A few months ago i installed cydia onto my Ipod to get cool themes for my apps and i wanted to remove cydia and never use it again so I tried restoring my Ipod (Ipod also needed update for IOS 8.2) and it said that it would take 5 days to update and restore.  I got really confused but i just shrugged it off as the update adding the new watch app so i waited 5 days and the update still had nothing in the progress bar so i tried using my computer to restore it but I ran into complications (Itunes update, windows update, etc) so when i finally tried it said "ipod ran into unknown error 9006 update cancelled" and it kept doing that so I just reinstalled Itunes to see if that would help but now whenever my ipod starts up it stays on the apple logo for a long time then the screen goes black and it repeats that and i cant plug it into my computer to fix because now my computer wont read my ipod anymore I plug it into my pc and it charges the ipod but it does not read it and i don't know if my warranty will work because i installed cydia to my ipod.
    if anyone can help me please help.
    I am not sure what operating system to choose so im saying here 8.1.3 - 8.2

    Check your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can stop your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
    Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't blocking a connection to the Apple servers.
    Yu can ony restore the latest iOS versin for your iPod which is 8.1.3 for the 5G

  • My laptop wont turn on. please help!!

    i turned my macbook pro 13" on this morning and when i did there was a kernel panic and i've tired to restart it, but the kernel panic is reoccurring what do i do? please help!!

    If you can't boot in the usual way, try a safe boot. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    During startup, you’ll see a progress bar, and then the login screen, which appears even if you normally log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is slower than normal, and some things won’t work at all.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
    If you're able to boot, launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • Ipod Touch Wont Turn On - Please Help

    My ipod touch 2nd gen wont turn on at all. I have tried holding down the power and home button but that doesnt work and when i connect it to the computer it is not detected by itunes.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    Any help is appreciated

    Try this before you take it to the Apple store or send it in for repairs:
    1. Start iTunes
    2. With your iPod disconnected, hold down the Home button
    3. Continue holding down the Home button while plugging it back into your computer
    4. Hold the button down until iTunes tells you it has detected an iPod in recovery mode. Follow the instructions from there.
    If that doesn't do it, time to see about repairs.

    Hi Phone Apple and see if you can send it in for service . It sounds like it is a battery issue. When I had my first iPod with video. I had to send it in for service and since they could not fix it. they sent me a new iPod .
    The support number for Apple is:
    1-800-275-2273
    In Canada call:
    1-800-263-3394

  • Iphone 3gs wont turn on PLEASE HELP

    Okay so a few hours ago I tripped and fell on some wooden stairs with my iphone in my pocket. Afterwords I tried to listen to some music and it wouldn't turn on, I tried resetting it and plugging it into a charger but that didn't help. It has no cracks or dents in it and its only two months old. Is there anything else I can try before calling up apple or bringing it into them? Thanks

    - Have you tried the troubleshooting here:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - You can try disabling the camer notification

    - Do you have any camera, scanner or similar software installed?  That may prevent iTunes from seeing the iPod.

  • Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

    You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
    Thanks.
    We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

    We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
    The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
    Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
    Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
    Cheers.

    What file format do you save it in?
    What kinds of changes did you make in that file?
    Where do you save the file (removable or network media)?
