Hindge Problem — Toshiba A45-S120

I understand that the hindge break fails often on this model. Will the cover stay open if I replace only ONE hindge? The hindges are quite expensive thus replacing both hindges will almost equal the value of the laotop. Please advise.

Mark Cox,
This problem is not related to a virus. Even with a virus infection you still should be able to turn it on a get video on the screen, at least the logo. From your description is sounds that the laptop has no video at all, so most likely this is a hardware related problem.
You can try this.
1. Remove the hard drive and start the laptop without it. Find out if you can get video with the hard drive removed.
2. This also sounds like a memory problem. Try reseating the memory module/modules. Move the module into the empty slot. If you have two modules installed, removed them one by one and find out witch one is causing the problem. If you have only one module and reseating doesn’t help, try replacing it with another working one.

I think you have good chances to fix the laptop by replacing RAM.
