I have a Toshiba laptop C358-1LQ, Windows 8. The screen keeps going dark, a torch shows everything is going on fine, but hard to see with it being so dark. It’s been back to Currys where I bought it from three times with the same problem, so gave up with them. A computer engineer thought the screen back light had gone, so replaced the screen. Two weeks later, same black screen.
Any suggestions?
my laptop works for so long then goes black screen , but its still working as if i plug into tv set can still use it using tv as monitor is there away of fixing this
VERY helpful site. Thanks so much. I had to hold the power key about 2minutes but it worked. Appreciate you all.
The instructions straight from Tobisha are this: Unplug your laptop. Press and hold the off button for 20 seconds. Then plug the laptop back in and turn on. This worked for me!
I have a Toshiba L655. I can’t get past the black screen. I have tried everything on the site’s I’ve researched, still nothing. Please help!!
I can hear the booting sound of My Toshiba laptop but nothing displays, its all blank screen. please I need help.
Thanks Kelly Morrison! It worked!
Hmmm I’ve got the Toshiba P300-156 17” Satelite Model and having the same issue screen gone Kaput I’ve tried to follow the instructions from above But no Joy neither of them are working unfortunately I’ve been reading some threads where they said it could be the motherboard if that’s the case I’ve no idea how much would it cost to replace and to find a trustworthy repair centre…
I have the TOSHIBA Satellite L655 Laptop. My Mother-in-law lets me have it when she got a new one & it always worked GREAT!!
Well ? Until now anyways…Somehow someone misplaced the battery but as long as it’s on the charger while we use it, it’s fine.
In the last couple weeks, it powers on & you can hear it running but the screen is ALL BLACK?!?! NOTHING shows up?! ??
*I found 2 helpful tips to try to get the screen on when I looked up the “black screen issue” & it’s actually a common problem with this “Brand,” after reading through comments several people said these work & I can honestly say, they have actually worked for my issue!
The most common fix: Check for Warranty or Product Recalls or try the following: *1. Plug in the charger, use a blow dryer on high for 30 seconds going over the keyboard, then rapidly press “POWER + F2” until it comes on. *2. Press “SHIFT + CONTROL + F8 + POWER” at the same time until laptop powers on asking to manually start Windows.
One of these 2 have always worked to make the screen work again but I’ve tried both over & over for days & it’s not working so if anyone knows any other way to get it to work, PLEASE HELP?!?! ??
Thank you!! Your a freakin lifesaver!!
Thank you!! Worked like a charm!!!
Hey guys, I just want to say, “ God/Jesus Be The Glory.” I thought my laptop was done for. It’s been about 5 – 6 months since I tried using it, and when I turned the screen on, it was black with a small white line in the top left corner. I googled to find some help to fix it and unfortunately, no help was found. I just came back to try it again and found this site and The Lord helped me out. It’s working and I am so grateful for All the help. Check them out when/if you need them (God/Jesus) and this site, “fixingblog.com”
Maybe computer overheating.
Clean the underneath of dust and other muck,
prop the computer on blocks or other stand to allow air to flow under it.
Keep your room cooler!
Satellite Toshiba laptop comes on but screen is black
Removing the battery solved my startup problem. Thank you so much!!
My Toshiba laptop was acting strange. The touchpad was locked out. Luckily I have a touchscreen, so I was able to restart the laptop. After it powered back up, the screen never came back on. The screen was working fine before the restart. I tried the shift fi power thing 5 times and it’s still not working. Please help! Thank you!
