I thought this too - had it happen to a pc once. Replaced the part for $25 bucks and it was like new.
Good luck IBD.

Go Mac! Just say no to all else. Big bucks, no problems! You choose! My Toshiba is about to be used as a clay pigeon! Brand new computer (2nd one). I returned the first one and this next one I waited too long. I am going into Best Buy and throwing it in the air then I am going to jump up and down on it!
Can we have a date/time. I'd pay to watch that. :rofl:

I didn't replace the part --- I got it replaced. I ain't that good.

Very soon. I will keep you posted. I only wish I was joking!
My new goal in life is to let the world know how bad the "top" of the line Toshiba laptop sucks! I was warned, but nooooooo....

There you go, if it's an older model just keep it outside in the cold, cut off the fan belt, and you should be good. Or is it one of those new ones with the serpentine belts?

I could use a bit more RAM since I installed some Adobe programs. It sucks the RAM. When I upgraded RAM on my purchase, they gave me two 256 cards, rather than one 512 card and an empty slot for upgrades. I was going to steal a card from another laptop that melted (yes, literally the power cord melted into the puter), but it had only a 256 card, which doesn't increase my RAM. I really should buy a 1G card and add it to one of my 256 cards, then I'd be cruising like a Cadillac. Just figured if yours is new, it likely has a larger card than a 256.how did i miss this, now WHY on Earth would you want that....

Sometimes both RAM slots have to be filled for the thing to work (some real geniuses out there) and so might have to go with 2 512 cards etc. Have you ever tried it with just one 256 card?
