TOSHIBA Satellite L655D-S5159 laptop mobo replacement or repair

Miguel2013 · Nov 25, 2017

Laptop "running power" led lits is the only led that lits when runing from batery. but I don't see anything post on the screen or even a SSD activity or ssd led light blinking. when using power cable the "wall power led" lits but same no activity ssd nor screen displays anything. I did check for sure about the fan and it spins after like 2 minutes of runing.

check video too... I stopped the fan but it resumes after 5 seconds I didn't know and freaked out trying to make it spin again but it does it on itself.
these info is from the bottom of the laptop and on the photo included:
Model NO. PSK2LU-02H00D
Serial NO. ZA123164W

I looked on ebay for motherboard replacements and found similar ones but I can't confirm with them as I don't know my part number. photos include the 2 sides of the motherboard as well can someone tell me where is written? or what may be going on?

iGPU is dead. I believe it's a Radeon HD4250, and those are so bad that I'm surprised your laptop lived that long... It's been a cause of death for many-many HP, Lenovo, Toshiba, LG and ASUS laptops of that generation. :banghead:

I wouldn't waste my cash on a new motherboard. You can get a working L655D for $60-80 in decent shape. Maybe even a beefed-up config with a quad-core Phenom II and some extra RAM.

Alternatively you can part it out or sell as-is and invest into a 2nd gen or 3rd gen Lenovo Thinkpad or HP ProBook. Those are relatively old, dirt-cheap, but reliable and pack one helluva performance punch.

Over here you can generally get Elitebook 2560's for about €100, 2540 €70. Great machines.

Have you tried running it with power and no battery(as its probably not working)? In E bay google this: "TOSHIBA Satellite L655D-S5159"

But as said, your just going to be buying more junk. I know the IC'S on the back side of the CPU socket go bad, if you have a multi meter. You need to read the resistance before removing the old one's, you can look at the site "BADCAPS.com". There is a thread there with all you need to know about your lap top, again google it when you get in the site. I think its over 100 pages long, and a ton of people who have bandaged there lappies.........
Also try removing the battery then holding power button with no power cord attached, it may reset it to working.

You can pick up a HP elitebook for about 90-150 on ebay.

Here is a good one

The 25xx series are 12", so might be on the small side for you.
