Tecra 9100 turns on intermittently, and turns off after 10-15 seconds

Referring to a Toshiba Tecra 9100, model no: PT910E-602SF-EN
The power button normally doesn’t turn it on at all, though occasionally it boots up normally, starts to load windows, then always cuts out after 5-15 seconds anyway.
It still charges up the batteries fine, but won’t turn on. I’ve checked the ram, hard-drive, and I re-set the bios to defaults - nothing stops it from cutting out if you can get it to turn on.
Any ideas what could be the problem? Any help appreciated, it’s the second time one I’ve had - the same problem last time!
Thanks

Hey,
Have you already tried cleaning the fan? Maybe a lot of dust is blocking the fan so the notebook can’t start and turns off itself due a higher temperature. It would be worth a try cleaning it.
But in my opinion you have everything done what you can do and it looks like a mainboard malfunction. If cleaning the fan doesn’t help I think the mainboard is defective or something else. If you are familiar with notebook disassembling you can try to repair it yourself with second hand parts. Otherwise it’s time for a new notebook I think…

Hi
I think this could be a serious hardware problem because the notebook shuts down after 5-15 sec after booting up.
I doubt it could be related to a higher temperature since the temperature could not reach a critical level in such short time (5 sec).
I think it’s something wrong with a part on motherboard but this is just an assumption.
Since this is a oldie, I don’t this its worth to replace a motherboard.
The part is very costly and maybe a second hand notebook would be a better choice…
