| 513482 | 2007-01-07 05:21:00 | i have a toshiba satellite laoptop which i just recently tried to reformat, after formating the drive, the installation began and about 2 minutes into it, the computer turned off with no error warning, it will no longer turn on, is this common when reformating laptops? are there any probable explanations or solutions? | gulice (11734) | ||
| 513483 | 2007-01-07 06:38:00 | Welcome to PressF1! It is not a common problem at all let alone while reformating. I would try the laptop without the battery in and see if it turns on. Also try holding the power button down for about 10 seconds. |

| 513484 | 2007-01-07 06:55:00 | unfortunately no go on either suggestion. i just noticed that the lights dont even show up for when the adapter is plugged in. | gulice (11734) | ||
| 513485 | 2007-01-07 08:41:00 | It could be that the adaptor has died and the laptop is fine, just has a flat battery. Do you have a multimeter you can test the power adaptor with? |
