Possible Fried Notebook

Yea... I Just Recently Got a Toshiba Satellite 2435 and the power jack for it was broken, so we wired a wiring system bypassing the jack up. It seemed to be charging the charing light came on and when you pressed the power button the CPU fans would start then after a second turn off and then nothing else would happen. If you press the fn key, it causes the lights to indicate disk activity and battery charing to go on and off. I believe it's fried but I figured I'd ask someone first before chucking it at someone. Any ideas?
 
I Don't think it's that because the positive (the jack in) was ripped off by the previous owner. so we soldered a wire to the positive on the board and the negative to the metal casing of the remnants of the jack which is how the jack would work. and we're using two wires just to plug it into the charger. Idk.. I'm having someone I know check it out tomorrow so yea thanks for the help. I hope your not right and im not right lol xD
 
Some laptops might fry easier than othres :P One of my friends brought his laptop over, but he and my room mate worked on it. We saw sparks and smoke a few times(all from the power connections) but the laptop would still power up just fine on battery.

I'd try to revert back to the correct powre connection(or a suitable replacement) I beleive having the actual plug there would make things work much better :P
 
I have resoldered many many many broken DC connections on motherboards in the past. A lot of times when it breaks it will short the board and you're dead no matter what you do.

Good luck.
