After hooking the HDD up to Fabio’s magic emergency salvage wire harness, we determined that the issue was probably not the drive itself. It spun up and all the files could be accessed. I did a brief search online, and the “failure to boot” (heck, it didn’t even reach the startup screen!) issue in Toshiba Laptops was generally attributed to the power side – in particular, a bad connection between the power board and motherboard in machines with these separate, or a bad motherboard in machines with these functions integrated. Mine was the latter. I happened to drop by the repair facility’s website having not heard from them yet, and I found the above service information. Wow. That can’t be good… Do Intel Core 2 Duo’s just go like that?
