Hi I have a toshiba tecra laptop 8100 series- plugged in , it wouldn't start up so I bought it a new battery- still nothing. I can get a power light flashing orange if I play a little I can leave it and get power light green and battery light green -the charger is only warm after hours of this. still no action on the screen or fan sounds the lights are all that happens. I got onto one web site that said hold the backspace and turn on and I did get all the green lights flash green then nothing. I take it the new battery is a waste of money. do I need a better cord? or would it be hardware related? any ideas would be very welcome at this point -this computer is antiquated my new one is faulty and the tecra has about five years of photos I don't have access to... fed up with technology at this point any help would be great thanks
