Toshiba Satellite 1400 PROBLEM!!! Help!

[Androu]

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!!

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.

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.

Are you running it off the battery or the outlet? Try the outlet.
