Question

Computer turns on, but it doesn't?

I turn on the computer and fans spin, it makes noise, hard-drive starts spinning up, and then nothing. Nothing pops up on screen, (Screen is NOT broken as I tested that first with a HDMI cable) so my guess is that the BIOS needs to be reset... but Toshiba doesn't exactly help with any of this by not have public schematics or even guides on how to fix it, I called their tech support and they wanted 20$ USD just to talk to them. So I turn to the internet now.


Answer

Unplug the power cable, remove the battery and hold the power button for 10 seconds.

Let me know if this helps?
