Hello to all. I have recently installed a new keyboard and a new hard drive on this laptop. It has been working fine for 8 days. Yesterday some of the keys started typing the wrong letters and then it would not boot. All the lights come on and you can see the backlight on the screen and the hard drive spins but nothing else happens. I hooked it up to an external monitor and was able to see the Toshiba start screen and the options for F2 (BIOS) and F12 (Boot Menu) I went into the BIOS and the hard drive didn't show up. I rebooted and hit F12 and pointed it to the hard drive and it said no bootable device found. removed the hard drive and put it in my towers hot swap bay and it shows up immediately. I ran check disk and it reports the drive to be fine.
This was a Windows Vista OS but has been upgraded to Windows 7. I put the Windows 7 disk in and hooked it up to the external monitor. I ran start up repair and Windows said it found problems. I told it to repair them. It ran for a few and then popped up a box labeled System Recovery Options and says, "Failed to save startup options".
Is my motherboard toast? After just spending money on the keyboard and hard drive I'm not wanting to buy a motherboard since that will also mean buying Windows again since Windows goes with the motherboard. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
