This is kind of a long shot, but it's just possible the circuit
in question is latched up. If so, removing all power can restore
it. I would remove the battery and leave it out overnight.
Try the computer in the morning.

Good luck booting from USB. Toshiba Satellites are a pain in the
arse. Your BIOS options are VERY limited. One option you likely
will have though is boot from network so you could turn it into
a diskless workstation.

Are you saying it won't boot a usb hard drive now? USB hard drive
enclosures are pretty cheap. Most newer machines have a BIOS option to
allow booting from USB so that might solve your problem until you can
get all the data off the old drive.

booting from a USB drive should be fairly straightforward.
set usb as a boot device in the BIOS, insert a preloaded flash drive
and bobs your uncle
And setting up the flash drive is just a matter of installing to it from the CD.
If you really did fry your ide controller you won't be able to fix
