Well I finally have a old Toshiba P30 Laptop working.
Took me a while but it's fixed.
This is what I had to do to fix it.
Take apart the whole laptop.
Replace the AC Adapter
Remove The CPU Heatsink and Fans and clean them throughly.
Backup Important Data Files
Reinstall Windows XP because the current install was too far corrupt for me to bother messing with it!.
Reinstall all the Drivers
All of this took me about a week or so because I had to figure out what was causing the laptop to shutdown randomly every 10-15 mins.
I finally relized it was overheating and just got finished with the whole laptop tonight.
The point of my ramble is this.
Working on Laptops Sucks, but I fixed it!
Here are some photos.
