Hey everyone,
Have the most bizzare behaviour going on with a Toshiba Estudio 3515AC.
System was working fine, then had to move offices. Was transported very carefully (I made sure) literally 10 minutes up the road.
Unpacked the machine, plugged it in and was working fine for about 1 minute then switched itself off.. Odd but ok, unplugged and replugged, nothing but a green main power light.
Took the back cover out, watched as I plugged the machine in, the main power board relays click, then the logic board gets a green light for a brief second then I can hear the relays click and everything shuts off. Nothing on the screen, no startup animation etc.
On the main panel again nothing but a green main power light but pressing the button does nothing.
Now this is where it gets REAL bizzare.
If i open the front door, and plug the machine in, it fires up. Screen lights up, goes through the startup checks all 9 steps etc but then gets the "Close Door message on the screen" The instant the door is closed, you can hear the relays click. Everything shuts down and it goes back to a black screen with just the main power light on Green.
Local Toshiba tech said he has zero idea and hes never heard of this before, so doesnt really have a clue where to start. I first thought dodgy power board, so ordered a replacement, swapped it out and exact same behaviour.
I've tried starting it with the fuser unit removed also, still no dice.
Anyone have any ideas? My next thought is to replace the logic board but its another $$ part that may not be the culprit.
On youtube it seems other people have had the same issue and swapping out the power board has resolved, but not for me.
