Replace Toshiba LX815-D1310 motherboard??

Okay, so my Toshiba LX815 (All-In-One desktop) has been nagging me for about a month to perform a Bios update recommended by Toshiba its self. So I went through and followed the update steps accordingly making sure I did not prematurely restart the computer. When the update completed it asked me to shutdown the computer to finish the process so I did...but then it didn't boot back up and hasn't been able to boot back up. I'm not too good with hardware, I know how to replace hardware but don't know the specifics of each component. I tried replacing the RAM and that didn't work so the only possible thing I can think of would be that somehow the motherboard is f**ked. Any suggestions? Also if I decide to just buy a new mobo which one would you recommend? I'm not a PC gamer (hence the Toshiba LX815)
My computer doesn't give me any error beeps upon trying to boot. All it does is it turns the fans on for maybe 5 seconds and then shuts down again and then repeats this cycle until I pull the power cord. The screen stays black.

Try the suggestions in this article:
What can I do if my Windows 8 laptop won't start?
The second and third sections mention a battery. Because you have a desktop, you don't have a battery. Just follow along without doing the battery-specific actions.

  • Replacement of a broken motherboard in an iMac is 595€ or 1.466€!!!

    Replacement of a broken motherboard in an iMac is 595€ but if I ask to return the faulty motherboard (proof of replacement, example is class, curiosity) cost suddenly rises to 1.466€.
    Dealer claims 595€ is the price of an "exchange" and 1.466€ is the price of a purchase.
    This means a motherboard costs more than a brandnew iMac.
    Can someone explain what is happening?

    Just google the drive in question (or go directly to the Seagate site) + "form factor."  The orginal drive will be 3.5" and have a standard size.
    I don't know what will happen with a hybrid, but you might want to know before plungng ahead that all the drives for that model are Apple proprietary, with special firmware for the reading of the internal temp sensor.
    The usual result of replacing the drive is that the SMC (System Management) receives no input for the temp of the drive and revs the drive fan up to max. One workaround for this, at least with ordinary drives, is to get the free SSD Fan Control.

  • TS1372 I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    I replaced the hard drive, motherboard, and battery but now can not restore my Ipod 5th gen?  Error code 1416, any help?

    When I did a Google search on "1416 error ipod 5th," there is some discussion that the earlier version of the logic board only accepted 30 and 60 GB drives (or words to that effect), but the later "5.5" version did allow larger capacity drives.  If that info is true, the question is, do you have a compatible combination of logic board and hard drive?

  • Toshiba 42HL833 (N) motherboard replacement?

    A year ago I bought Toshiba 42HL833 (N), the TV worked fine until it randomly turned off. I wasnt able to turn it on until tomorrow. then it worked for abotu a month until it completely broke down in april and hasnt turned on since.
    I am unable to use my warranty because the retailer that sold me the TV filed for bancrupcy three months ago.
    I took the TV to several reapair guys and they all suspect that the motherboard is faulty, but none of them know where or how to obtain the motheboard. I have tried toshiba support but it refuses my serial key. When plugged in the red led turns on, doesnt blink or turn green, just stays on. TV won't turn on via remote or the button.
    I have tried looking for a physically damaged TV which I can use to replace the motherboard but no avail.
    I am really running out of options here, what do I do or where do I go to get it fixed or am I really stuck with an expensive paper weight?

    the screen is broken but still sees a picture and a sound

  • Is my Toshiba Satellite L35 Motherboard bad?

    Here is my story, I have a 4 yr. old Toshiba Satellite L35 laptop that all of a sudden 1 month ago stopped showing anything on the screen.  I replaced the AC adapter and then placed a new hard drive-Still the screen does not show anything.  The On/Off light comes on and stays green, then the ac/battery light comes on and stays green, but the hard drive light just appears for a few seconds and then turns off and NOTHING on the screen.  A computer repair guy says that it is the motherboard.  What do you guys think?  Can a motherboard just "go bad" with nothing done to it (like the computing dropping on the ground, or a drink spilling on it).  He says he can replace the motherboard for $50 labor only (I would buy the motherboard myself).  I feel that I can probably replace the motherboard myself.
    James

    if you think it is overheating try cleanin it out. cleaning notebook vents.
    if you want to really get in there and clean it out. A305 disassemble.
    but only do the second if your warranty is over.

    You can purchase a replacement at full retail price.  Apple will not touch that device nor are they likely to offer an Out of Warranty replacement.

  • My display was replaced and NOW the Motherboard is cooked?

    the hinge on the display of my PB was loose and had to be repaired...since the it is a one piece construction (as I was told by the technican), the whole display was replaced. when I went to pick it up from the repair center......the PB started up slow, made some clicking noises from the area of the drive, the computer seemed to go to sleep then a electrical burning smell was evident. This all happened in front of the tech guys. It went right back to be repaired and now the Motherboard and DCN board (as I am told this is the power adaptor interface or something). so the question is....what could have happened to fry the motherboard and DCN board. the tech guy told me that they are replacing the DCN board as a precaution.
    does anyone know what could have happened to cause these problems?
    regards,
    Eric

    Eric,
    Is the technician an authorized technician? If they aren't I would not use them. http://www.apple.com/buy/ tells you which ones are. The only exception are these sites which can charge less than Apple and people have had good experiences with them:
    http://www.dttservice.com/
    http://www.powerbookresq.com/
    http://www.microdocusa.com/
    http://www.macspecialist.com/
    http://www.techrestore.com/
    It is possible the problem with the motherboard existed all along. Remember the graphics chip is on the motherboard. So is the ATA controller. And it could be a surge got to the graphics chip and ATA controller, and only by replacing the display were you able to get the graphics chip to give its last gasp. It is also possible that whoever installed RAM didn't take static electricity precautions, and that could have left the logic board in a tenuous state. The repair simply exaggerated the existing problem.

  • Replacing a MSI 6188 motherboard

    My daughters IBM NetVista went belly up -- would not turn on, pwr supply will run for about two seconds and then shutdown. This plus that familiar "burned electronic component" smell from the motherboard. Futzing with connections, lots of retrying this and that -- still dead, so it looks like I need a new one.  :(
    The IBM unit had an MSI 6188 mother board (1GHz pent III, three PCI slots, MicroATX form factor). I am trying to repair on college student budget -- IBM replacement is too many $$.
    Can I drop in an MSI 6368?  Same formfactor, socket 370, same onboard sound and graphics. I figure I can re-use everything else.
    Any issues I need to worry about?  THANKS!

    Yes, but you will most likely need to reinstall windows anyway.
    I suggest you be sure the PSU is not fried since you don't want to blow the new board as well.
    Personally I would try and find an MS6315 v5.0 or some other i815 based board, they run much better and more reliably (except the o/b VGA sucks even more than the VIA PLE133) but it has an AGP port.

  • Toshiba P10-504 Motherboard Failure

    I recently had a major problem with my Toshiba P10-504. I have no idea how it happened but according to the people at Toshiba who are fixing it the motherboard has failed. This meant that when attempting to power up all I got was the blue light and the sound of the fan and possibly the HD whizzing round and no display at all. The cost of fixing it has been quoted at about 450 and it will take a couple of weeks. As you can imagine I never want to run into this problem again and would really like to understand how it happened. Any information would be great. To help heres a list of everything I did and didnt do before it crashed that may be relevant:
    Before the crash
    1) Installed a new memory module: 1GB DDR333 SODIM (pqi brand?) - I installed the module a week before the system failed and it was running fine. Im obviously worried about re-installing the module when the laptop is returned (advice?).
    One the day of the crash
    1) Set processor scheduling to background services To increase the performance for audio software
    2) Turned of all the power schemes and hibernation modes Always found these annoying
    3) Fixed the swap file for the virtual memory to about 1.2GB Just experimenting with different performance settings, although that was probably a bit excessive.
    4) After doing the above three things I simply shut the lid, no applications were running and the system had not yet been shut down and was running off batteries. Thats the last time it worked.
    The laptop had not experienced any physical damage.
    Thanks for reading through all that - hope Im making sense. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Chris.

    Hi Chris
    Looking at the list of things you done I cannot see anything that would damage the computer.
    Installing hardware (memories, PC Cards and so on) are always a 'risk', but as long as you keep to the standards and use your head instead of force you should be pretty safe.
    Since the memory had been running in your machine for a week it seems very unlikely that it can be the cause of the problem.
    My very long experience with notebook hardware service tells me that I in but a very few cases have seen software damaging hardware. In theory it is possible, but in real life - it's the last possibility on my list anyway.
    Stuff in the computer breaks most of the time for no visilible reason - means that it does not break because of misuse, bad handling or bad software. It just breaks.
    Looking into the number of 'parts' 1 computer have inside (not counting just Motherboard, memory, harddisk and so on but counting connectors, transistors in the big chips, solderings on the big chips and so on) I (my personal point of view) feel sometimes that it is good fortune that they don't break.
    So to answer your question: just take normal care of your computer, stick to hardware-options that are manufactured for your computer (prefer Toshiba originals) and you've done your part of the deal :)

  • Replacement mac pro 2008 motherboard

    Hi,
    It looks as if the logic board in my dual quad core 3Ghz mac 2008 mac pro has died.
    Rebooted it last night and I just get the grey screen, apple logo and spinning icon
    Removed all peripherals and network connections - no change
    tried to boot into safe mode and the sequence gets so far and then the machine shuts down
    removed all internal disks apart from system disk - no change
    replaced system disk with backup system disk - no change
    reset the EFI - no change
    removed some 4Gbyte memory DIMMS I'd installed recently - no change
    Took backup system disk into work and put into same age chassis and disk booted just fine.
    So
    1). Found a mac pro 2008 used motherboard for £345 on ebay - eek!!
    2). If all I need is a motherboaed, can I install a newer mac pro motherboard in the chassis I've currently got?
    Rgds
    Alex

    have to agree, $600+ part www.dvwarehouse.com
    sounds like they really did not address (all) the problems and went for a superficial renstall the system with a new drive instead.
    10.7.5 may not be ideal OS for 3,1 2008s
    FBDIMMs are cheap now and higher quality, $64 8GB (I'll bet they soaked you though)
    SMC Reset for won't start
    the OEM graphic card, those are a MUST replace list, esp for 10.7.5 but for anyone too
    10.8.3 makes sense
    you have to avoid any old plugin drivers software now or go back to 10.6.8 which some find more reliable and because they rely on Rosetta to run PowerPC coded software.

  • Replacement for LGA 1155 Motherboard

    I am returning my ATX motherboard for a replacement. Warrantee calls for a swap, but this board is no longer available (ASUS P8P67 Pro B3). The store (Fry's) says they will allow any LGA1155 in stock as long as I pay the difference in cost. I saw the Rampage motherboard, but pretty steep in price. Wondering if it's worth it or if there are any that I should avoid.
    I have maxed out my internal storage slots, so the onboard SATA controller is important.
    Also, will I need to un-register CS6 before replacing the motherboard?

    Don't get over exited about Thunderbolt. If you look at bandwidth of the various connections, Thunderbolt is better than eSATA and USB3, but far off from SFF.
    Connection
    Bandwidth
    per connection
    Thunderbolt
    10 Gbps
    SATA 6G
    6 Gbps
    eSATA 6G
    6 Gbps
    USB3
    5 Gbps
    SAS 3.0 SFF
    48 Gbps
    PCIe-2.0 (16x)
    32 Gbps
    PCIe-3.0 (16x)
    64 Gbps
    If you consider 6 SFF connections on a single (2011) system versus a single Thunderbolt connection, you see the difference.

  • Need advice on replacing Toshiba hard drive

    I have other manufacturers laptop with a Toshiba 60GB MK6021GAS hard drive. I believe the hard drive is on its way out and I want to pull everything off of the disk for restoring to another new one. I need everything from the drive because the OS image is one which was loaded by the company I contract with and apparently, the standard one which came with the laptop is not compatible with their applications which I also have loaded on the laptop.
    I don't want to have to travel over 100 miles to the company's IT offices to have another OS loaded onto the new drive unless I have to, so what I guess I want to do is create an exact image of the existing drive, then restore the image back to the new disk when I get it.
    I tried making an image of the disk using Paragon Exact Image 7 SE, but the download from the existing faulty hard drive to a DVD dump disk fails consistently, after copying 1.6gb of 8.32gb, reporting that the hard disk is damaged.
    Another piece of software, Active SMART also reports that disk failure is imminent, reporting a "Bad" status for this disk. I have run chkdsk several times over the last few months on the hard disk and on a couple of occasions, it has isolated bad sectors. So everything points to the disk's days being truly numbered.
    What I'd like to be able to do is buy another MK6021GAS hard disk unit, and get all the files from the faulty one onto the new one without having to reload the OS, application software data etc.
    Is that possible? If so, what's the best way? How can I get everything from the disk if this Paragon software will not let me extract everything? Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Phil.

    Thanks for the feedback fellas.
    ActiveSmart is reporting that the drive is bad and failure is imminent because the "Reallocated Sector Count" attribute is not what it should be. From this, I'm assuming that any data, system or otherwise, was reallocated to another "good" sector, perhaps by chkdsk(?) at some point and everything that's vital is intact.
    The PC is working as it should except that every so often (2 weeks can elapse for example), the hard drive starts to make an audible clicking noise which causes the system to stop. Sometimes, tilting the PC forward brings it back to life and everything carries on as normal, but just as often, the machine has to be switched off and left alone for a few hours, or a hardware BSOD happens. This suggests a mechanical failure of some kind to me.
    Maybe I should add Norton Ghost to my toolbox anyway - I'm sure it'll come in handy again at some point and it sounds like I might be able to make progress with this if it allows the skipping of bad sectors.
    Thanks again guys.

  • Replace Hp Pavilion dv9002ea motherboard

    I have Hp Pavilion dv9002ea Notebook with faulty motherboard p/n  432945-00. Once it was fixed, but it broke down again. Can I install a different motherboard for dv9000? Not AMD. Is there a board with two Mini PCI-E? Thanks.

    Hello,
    I see that you have a question about the motherboard. Now, here is a look at what motherboards are supported for your notebook. 
    Now, it would be really hard for me to tell you how many Mini PCI-E slot come with each motherboard. I can tell you from experience more than likely there will not be 2 slots. Typically there is only 1 PCI-E slot and even looking the specs up for each motherboard it won't even tell you from there. 
    If you have any more questions let me know.

  • Approx. how much does it cost to replace the PowerBook Pro motherboard?

    Looking for an estimate of what it would cost.
    Also if you have an authorized company do the work - how do you tell if you in fact

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    A logic board can easily cost a half of the price of your MacBook Pro. Note that near everything is soldered onto the logic board except the hard drive, display, RAM and maybe other parts like the AirPort card.
    It's difficult to say if you have a new or used logic board, but you can be sure that Apple will put a new logic board. Resellers and Apple Retail Stores haven't got used logic boards, or if they have them, they are damaged from other Macs

    when first turn on screen will not light up. power button is lit and I can hear computer running. after I turn it on and off several times it will finally come on and everything works just fine. The computer is about 1 year old and never given any problems until this. is it possible that the on/off power switch is going bad or it is something else.
