Hi,
I have a toshiba A215-s4747, doesn't boot all the time. I need to turn on and shut it down holding pressed the power button few times. Usually I need 3-5 attempts to start it.
When I press power, I can hear fans, some leds but the screen is blank and that's all.
I have windows vista, and my comp. worked fine for 3 years.
Please, help me.

Jump to PostRun diagnostics on the system. It sounds like some component(s) is starting to fail. Since it is likely out of warranty, you may be on the hook for repair/replacement.
Jump to PostYou might be able to find some diagnostics software on the manufacturer's web site that can determine if there are component-level problems. The problem probably isn't the hdd, but may be some other IC on the motherboard, or other peripheral chip.
Jump to PostSeems like a display problem at first but could be a faulty motherboard too. Maybe some parts are loosen have, try tightening all the parts. Loose parts can cause problems like this. Check it and post back.
Jump to PostMouse no light means there is no power. Did you hear any fan sound when the laptop started. If there is none, might be a power failure. Can boot in safe mode and can you access the bios?
