I have a toshiba satellite pro. One day I turned it off and went out and when I came back it turned on then immediately off. If I hold the power button it does this repeatedly until I take out battery. It shuts off instantly, I can't even make it to the bios. I've tried a hard reset, switching ram and using a monitor. Nothing has worked so far. I want to know if I can solve this or if I have to take it to a shop. Oh and one more thing. If I take out my ram it turns on but has a black screen.

Permit my two pence worth.

This issue certainly looks like a mummy board failure, probably at the power supply end of it.

I strongly suggest you consult a competent technician for an appraisal and possible repair.

Sorry but that's how the cookie crumbles.

Well what do you know, we both thought about the same thing almost at the same time!

We are two peas in a pod!

Please, we would be interested to know what the tech person says. You might be able to help us and others.

I wish you a cheap, affordable errand.
