I have the Toshiba C55t-A5218. I couldnt get windows to come up, but later did. However when the laptop was doing a restart, it died and now it wont power up at all (with adapter or battery. Any suggestions. The adapter is producing 19 volts. I have also completed an ohm test on the power adapter cable in the laptop, all is well there. It wont power up with the battery plugged in. But I am uncertain if the battery is charged. Also removed the memory and still same results. Now I am getting the power light flashing, it flashes 5 times then stops flashing. Still no power up. Please help, or I have a boat anchor.



I checked the power adapter with meter and it is producing 19 volts. When the battery is attached i press the power button and the power light blinks 5 times and stops. If i remove the battery and plug in the adapter, this does not happen, actually nothing happens. If both are connected it does it.

Thank you, I tried that. Still no response, except this below.
