My Toshiba satellite won't turn on. The led light is on . (amber color).
I took the battery out, press the power on for 20 seconds and all that..
nothing works. What does it mean when the light is steady and not blinking?
Could it be a battery issue? I am afraid of spending $ for a new battery and not be able to fix the issue.
 
Solution
When you took the battery out, did you also make sure you removed the charger cord as well?... If not, try the following and see if it will turn on.

1. First make sure the device has been charged.
2. Unplug your charger cord.
3. Remove the battery.
4. Press and hold the "Power" button for 30 seconds and see if the device will turn on.
5. If it does, great, now plug back in the power/charger cord. (If it didn't turn on without the cord in, it should turn on once you it is in. Yes sometimes they will turn on, or try to turn on, even with nothing attached/plugged in.)
6. Now put the battery back in.

If this doesn't help, then test the power cord to see if it is good. Either try your cord in another device, or try another devices cord in...

Should that not be the problem, then check the battery to see if it needs replacing.
