I have a Toshiba satellite a660, its an old pc i got in 2008. I was preforming a routine task, took out hard drive, formatted it and tried to re install OS. When i placed the hard drive pack it would not boot from my flash drive.
So i made a dvd copy... nothing failed to boot.....
so i took out the memory and hard drive cleaned up a bit still nothing
i thought i would check the mobo battery, pulled the laptop apart only to find that the battery looks nothing like what i have seen before; its a cube like thing with two jumpers...needless to say i put it all back together after a cleaning and backed away slowly.
i then thought i might just reset cmos, so i did, changed nothing.
Is there something i am missing something i should try.
To clarify.
All the equipment is fine and was independently tested.
hdd works
ram is fine
used three different flash
and a dvd.
I am getting desperate here since i cant afford another laptop.
