I havent tried to use this Toshiba Satellite A50SD-56987 since I put together a pc tower. I just found a power supply that would work to charge it, but when I attempt to boot it nothing displays on the LCD. I tried the trick where you drain the battery, take it out, and hold the power button down for 60 secs about 3 times and no change... I'm going to try and take out the ram and put it in another slot next, and then try to hook it up to my tower monitor and sync it to see if it's booting the os at all. Maybe the LCD crapped out since it's just been sitting in my room.
I know this thing has had battery issues for a while that's what pushed me to get another computer, and I wonder if I can even buy a replacement battery as old as this thing is now.. I was just going to sell it cheap if I could get it booted and wiped, If anybody has some advice to help me get this thing in sellable shape let me know. It's looking like it needs to be recycled or thrown away.
