Hello:

I am trying to troubleshoot my sons Toshiba Satellite laptop. I was in the process of uninstalling a print driver. The unit said it needed to be restarted. When I went to restart, the lights on the base light up, but absolutely nothing on screen. I tried plugging into a monitor, nothing. Lights on the base only. No sound of HD or any other startup sounds. Any ideas???

Thanks!

Sounds kind of random. Are you on electric power or battery power? Make sure your coord didn't come unplugged, and the battery was low. I've done that in the past numerous times, especially if you use a surge protector connected through your power coord.

The only time I've seen a PC die with no beeps or responsiveness on start up was when the motherboard was shot.
