Troubleshooting Laptop Computers

I turn on my laptop and upload it to the login screen. I have Windows XP Professional and the laptop is a Toshiba Satellite M35X-S109.

I have a GatewayThe laptop is just barely a year old. The other day I went to turn the power on and nothing happens! It was working well before that date. Someone said that it could be a wave problem. Any ideas?

You could try to remove the battery and try again and on AC power to work alone. If this works, then try the battery and turn it on again.

The batteries are the weakest link on all notebooks. If there is not even on AC without the battery, then a multimeter and check the output of the adapter and then compare them with the technical data printed on them. It should not be less than 1 volt from the specified range, for example, when he says: 14.2 V and 13.5 then measure, there is a good change it's bad.
