Toshiba Satellite problem
Hey, all,
I'm back with a problem that I hope is curable, but I fear the worst. I was given a Satellite A45-S250 by a family member. It intermittently booted up but didn't run for long. It had the problem of BSD after memory dump on a regular basis. I looked up the error message and many suggested bad RAM. I replaced the RAM with known good RAM and the problem persisted. I disabled all the peripherals I could and tried to load a fresh install of XP. This didn't work. Long story, short: I thought I might have a burnt CPU so I took out the P4-2.8 Celeron that runs at 533 and replaced with a P4 M 1.6 that runs at 400. According to the Toshiba website the mobo should run either. I tried booting the laptop with the 1.6 and it wouldn't boot. So I replaced the 1.6 with the original 2.8 and now the laptop won't boot at all with the 2.8. It does not go into the BIOS even though the lights come on and I hear activity in the cd-rom. I fear that I might have blown the motherboard. Anyway, if anyone has suggestions as to what I might do at this point beyond getting a new mobo I'd like to hear them. Again, thanks to any and all who take the time to suggest possibilities. JG |
