Re: my toshiba laptop wont start

Are you saying it won't boot from a CD?
Can you get into the BIOS? (Setup)
Are there any error messages?

Re: my toshiba laptop wont start

your laptop went into hibernation and cannot wake up. try starting in safe mode and go to control panel, power management and turn off hibernation. then restore you pc to yesterday.

No display on the screen. try cycling the external and internal monitory button, i am not sure what combination it is for you laptop but there is a key with a picture of a monitor on it. I believe it;s with the FN key try that and see if anything shows on the screen
