Hi
Once before I had a similar Toshiba come into the shop. Try turning the unit on without the battery installed and on the good Toshiba charger. The computer batteries have a minimal current level and once power has gone below this level they will cause all kinds of problems. If the Toshiba now works, you're home free - just replace the battery. If it doesn't work then it will have to see a reputable repair person who can troubleshoot chip issues. I've seen these clone power supplies do all kinds of things to computers.

If it ain't the WiFi Antenna on switch (right side, towards the front), then it's an incompatible WiFi card (assuming it's just been added to the system).

Hold down the Esc key when you turn on the system. Assuming your Esc key works, that'll trigger a "Hit F1 to continue.." message and take you into the BIOS.

Replacing a backlight is better left to the experts of experts - it is very, very, very specialized. On these models, a dim screen can also be a dead inverter - I'd try replacing that first. If replacing the inverter doesn't solve it, then just replace the screen. Don't even think about replacing the tube yourself.

Your 1415 has a mini-PC card slot for an internal WiFi card. Bottom, right hand side, in the back. Buy a mini-PCI WiFi card, click it in, connect the antennas, and you're good to go.

If you dunno which card to get, this will always work: model MPC13A-20/R. Around $10 on ebay.

Of course, USB will always work but it sticks out like a sore thumb and it's cumbersome!

The plastic strip above the keyboard - you need to remove it (start by using a small, flat screwdriver and using the Windows key as leverage). After that, it's three screws (L, middle, R), then set it upside down over the touchpad, and disconnect the cable by lifting the connectors up.

That oughta do it!

Unplug the monitor from power and unplug it from the PC. Then hold the ON button in for 60 seconds. Replug and it should work.

wow... are you serious... u expect us to believe that.

''duh, a cat ran across my keyboard at the exact moment that I was trying to update my BIOS password, and she magically hit the ENTER key after pressing random keys. darn cat"....

you could try taking out your CMOS battery, that may reset the password.. i still don't believe you though.

check all the ribbon flat cables running from batteries to pc mother board. i suspect a ribbon cable must have got split . cut or damaged.
