This is a pictorial on how to get a toshiba laptop to boot again.
The fault was, Shows the toshiba logo, then a white cursor on a black screen.
This unit is an L300, though the fault is common on many toshiba laptops.

The cause is a corrupted bios setting memory, and can only be rectified by the removal of a hard to reach and soldered in place bios battery. Remove the battery and the problem goes away, Watch the video.
The song is resurrection :)

    Hold down the Fn button(bottom left hand corner?) and F5 button for 10 seconds together while running the computer, then take out the battery with the ac power unplugged(while the computer is still running), then wait for a minimum of 3 minutes, then put the battery back in and try it.
