----------------------------------- Androu Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:22 am Toshiba Satellite 1400 PROBLEM!!! Help! ----------------------------------- Hey, I have a Toshiba Satellite that I have bought off someone that is 1 years old. It is a C 1.33, 14X 256MB, 30GB HD I charged it the whole night, and when i woke up I pressed the Power button and the Power LED light came on. That's about it, nothing else happens, nothing on the screen, and I cannot access my DVD rom so I know the laptop isnt actually running! What is the problem and how do I get my laptop back up and running. Any suggestions will help! Thanks!! ----------------------------------- Notoroge Sat Jul 23, 2005 9:42 am ----------------------------------- You know how there's a button the presses when you close the laptop? Maybe it's not workin' properly. Hit it a few times. It might also be locked at the BIOS level. *Or* have no Operating System installed. But then you should still be able to see some BIOS output. So bah. :? Dunno, try fiddling around with things until you find something that works. If it has a VGA-out try hooking it up to your monitor and see if you get anything on there. To see if the LCD panel doesn't work. Also, there might be a 'monitor sleep' button that stops it from going on. But then again, your DVD-Rom should have been working all through this. But then again, both problems could be unrelated. So you never know. Hope this post was of some help. :P Update: I also remembered. Some laptops, if not all, have a button that toggles output to VGA and to the LCD panel. Try hitting that a couple times to see if it goes on. ----------------------------------- Neo Sat Jul 23, 2005 3:55 pm ----------------------------------- Are you running it off the battery or the outlet? Try the outlet. ----------------------------------- Androu Sun Jul 24, 2005 9:27 am ----------------------------------- tried both!
