I'm writing this post from the keyboard of my new Toshiba notebook, which I'm quite smitten with. I bought it today as a result of my three year old Gateway notebook going on the fritz. Here's what happened:
It had been working fine for the past three years. Yesterday, I turned it off and put it and its power supply in their case since I was leaving Austin to come home for the weekend. When I got back to Dallas and into my house, I plugged it in and left it on, like I always do. Turns out the computer wasn't getting power and was running on its battery, which eventually died. This is odd since the LED light on the power supply is the same vibrant green it always is. The damn thing, plain and simple, isn't receiving any power from a supply that isn't broken.
What could be the problem here? I'd like to be able to turn the thing on so I could get all my old files and everything. Hell, it'd even be nice to have it operational if I ever needed it. Does anyone have a clue what the deal could be?
