Okay here is the scenario... Laptop will power on with blue light on, harddrive will spin up and recently was able to get the dvd drive to spin up. All the while no display on screen. Battery will charge up fine and runs on battery or ac no problems.
External monitor will not work and I know the LCD is fine because since having this problem the laptop has booted 1 time and froze at the windows countdown screen. (something shorted out)
While the computer is running if I shut the lcd screen computer will continue to run instead of shutting down like it usually did prior to problem. Speculation: I thought this may be some kinda of switch somewhwere that signals when the lcd is lifted or shut but I can not find a switch anywhere.Anyone know how this works?
Finally it has been in a local repair shop (waste of my money) and they said probably needs a new system board. Should have known thats what they were going to say.
Any ideas or suggestions welcome.
Oh yeah this computer died 2 days after warranty expired
Toshiba wouldn't even discuss any possible fixes since warranty had expired.(not that it would have done any good,but it's the principal of the fact)LOL I was hoping they would have offered me the extended warranty but no such luck.
