Laptop won't start

Hello LTT,

I have a Toshiba Satallite C55-A5310, and it wont start :c 

When it is plugged in, I press the power button and I can hear the fan throttling, but it wont start.

I've tried plugging it in to a monitor and booting it. We took it apart, nothing that my untrained eye can see is off (I don't think the solder of the power plug is messed up, but once again - untrained eye).

No idea what to do. Suggestions?

Thanks!

Did you do a cmos reset?

Otherwise maybe use a different psu or check the ram, if that doesnt work

there is probably not much you can do easily.

Made sure ram was properly plugged in. Don't know how to do a cmos reset on a laptop, will look into it and try.

Thanks
