redirect all forums to this post as i will update the information as i solve PART(i will explaine what PART means) of this issue. that'll be fun to get too when I get working on it. wont POST, cmos battery connection points have lost the copper pad. I have a l505d gs6000 and just came into a s5965 about a week ago. it's definetly the southbridge, no sound no usb no web cam, card reader all the sub functions. but the company isn't taking action, reflowing will work, but why? it'll just fail again. On the toshiba board, people have been contacting the BBB, and general commiserating.

Toshiba has been no help, the l505d in general has that same issue. In the UK we can claim up to five years after the unit is bought, we have the standard guarantee of 12 months but consumer law states that expensive goods have to fit for purpose and have a life expectancy of up to 5 years. That laptop is not that old, i would check when it was bought and write a letter to toshiba pointing out fault, who knows they might decide to replace it.
