It would work great all the time, one day it turned off suddenly, and now it just shows blinking pumkin light which looks like in the sequence of 1011 0101 0101 0110 1100 ( when '1=on' '0=off' ). When the laptop is plugged up with AC adaptor, the light is green. But if I push the power button, it changes to blinking orange. It still charges up the battery. I tried to do something like push the power button, hold it for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, but didn't work well. I know many other toshiba owners should have the same problem as I got. If there's someone who resolved this problem, please help me out not to throw away hundreds of $$ on this.

Sounds like your power controller is shot.
Why not take it to a repair shop? Ask for an estimate before they fix it .

try to remove the battery of the laptop then connect the power plug to the ac outlet. If the computer working it's mean that the battery is shorted and you need to replace it. But if the problem still the same even you remove the battery you need it to bring to the computer shop to check because i think your power supply inside the laptop have a parts shorted. ask them how much the cost of parts & service if it's very expensive i advice it's better to buy a new one that have a warranty.

could be a bad PSU possibly, have you tried to take the battery out and unplugging it and letting it sit for bout 10mins see if it will reset , then if it does power up try the first start in safe mode
