Computer Troubles?

In addition to my handyman work I also tinker a bit with computers. Recently a used laptop I purchased stopped working. Not one to give up when something electronic doesn't work, I again disassembled my Toshiba A70 laptop to try to figure why it wouldn't start.

Has to be a connection I figured.

The only major connection on the circuit board is the interface of the main processor. So, I removed it, plugged it back in and cinched it down.

Voila! The machine started first push of the on button.

I suppose with time and the abuse most notebooks take, the tiny pins of the processor may lose
contact ever so slightly and that's all it takes.

Time will tell if this fix lasts or if all this was a fluke. I suspect my diagnosis is correct though.
