I may not be able to reasonably buy a
replacement mobo for this Satellite L305-S919 anyway. For some
reason, this AM i can't find any of what yesterday looked to be
compatible mobos on Ebay for about $40. I was willing to spend that
just to see what kind of trouble i cud get into,

I just did an eBay search on "toshiba satellite l305 motherboard" and
found http://preview.tinyurl.com/znne88t.

I will, after I get the mobo out.

Well, the other guy must've gotten at those pins without disassembling
that case. Can't he point out to you (either in-person or mark the pins
in a pic you show him via e-mail or maybe using the following link) as
to which pins he shorted?

That eBay seller has some good pics of the mobo, and you can zoom in to
get a closer look. I didn't bother to check out how the submodel
"5919" might affect design or construction of the mobo to know if the
ones offered at eBay (see my other reply) are the same or very similar
mobos or significantly different.

I took the thing to his house, and he showed me. He crossed two
solder points at the edge of the exposed part of the mobo bottom
behind the removed RAM. Damn!
