Okay my dad has an older blue toshiba a70 laptop that he basiclly junked
a while back. It was dropped on the floor and now it wont turn on. The
laptop is stilll in one peice and nothing is ratteling around so i
belive the inside components are okay.

The problem is with the motherboard and it now wont turn on, i think
the motherboard might have came unplugged from the power jack but i am
not completly sure so i dont want to take it apart yet

any suggestions would be helpful.

You would have to open it up to even assess the situation. But there is
a very good chance that being dropped damaged the motherboard in a way
that you will neither be able to find nor fix (example: Some of the
connections to a BGA chip were broken). Note: most Toshiba laptops
since about 2003 or so do not have the power jack on the motherboard but
rather mount the jack to the cabinet and then have a short cable to the
motherboard.
