I was able to find a Toshiba power brick in my box of adapters - 15V 3A, and it fired right up. Everything - including Windows XP and the BIOS - was in Japanese, however by fluke I was able to switch the BIOS to English.
The 15" LCD's backlighting is shot - or rather, the inverter. It's not repairable, nor would I be able to find a suitable replacement. And it's not touchscreen, so I stripped the screen right off; the external VGA port is thankfully there and there is nothing important in terms of cables etc. when the screen is removed. Will post pics of how tiny it is later! It'll make for a sweet mod.
