This is very helpful! Reseating the RAM solved my problem. Thank you! (Getting the cover off the bottom was a struggle though. Even after the screw was loosened, the cover was sticking in place. Finally managed to pry it off using more force than I expected would be needed.) This laptop is 10 years old but still working well with Windows 10---now that your video showed me how to fix it, it has a chance to last some more years.

This video should never ever be removed from KZbin. It's 2023, and my Toshiba laptop screen stopped working. I have no more support on my old Qosmio laptop, but it's still a beast with 2TB hard drives in it. So I followed these steps by removing the ram and lord and behold it worked. I give the KZbin video the KZbin video award of the year 😂😂😂. Thanks for uploading this.I'm sure you could never imagine it still helping people years later. Awesome video.

My laptop wouldn't turn on when it was hot-I thought it was overheating. I wasn't able to restart it! I could hear the fan whirring and whirring, the power button would light up, but the screen was black. I did what you said in this video- took out RAM, replaced the small battery, and now I get not even a fan turn on! It didn't matter what RAM was out- it still would not turn on. In fact, the power button is blinking. I tried the other video too (black screen on turn on) but that didn't work. I think it's trashed. That will teach me to back up my files. Grrr. Thanks for your informative videos! You are easy to follow and understand.

Hi: Thanks for your video! So I have gone through the steps of removing the coin battery, removing each of the Ram modules. Did some 60 second reboots. Still black. I have ordered the coin battery to try replacing it. I have also ordered a laptop battery. There is where my questions lies. If when I plug it in with laptop battery removed, the blue power on light shows (not talking about hte amber battery light), but screen still stays black. Also, I don't hear the fan starting at all. So, first question, should I take the new laptop battery out of its packaging and try it? Or should I return it as that is not the issue? Second, should I order a new screen and replace it? Third question, how do I know if it is the motherboard? Thanks for aany help you can render.

@@PC_Monkey hey i tried all this (i have the same laptop and couldnt get it to work.) My laptop suddenly stopped working 1 day after trying turn it off. I play a game on it, and when the game is running theres barely like any ram free. I accidently opened like 20 tabs in my browser which im sure make it so there was no free ram anymore, and my computer became somewhat unresponsive. I forced shut it down by holding the power button. after that, my laptop would not turn on anymore. IT did manage to turn on once when i removed the battery and left it alone for a few hours, but then stopped again when i tried to reconnect the battery and turn it back on. Do you have any idea what it might be?

Same situation ... toshiba l850-1tf, intel i7 3630qm , radeon 7600m series . I bought another motherboard cuz of gpu got baked . I replaced it myself . It started TOSHIBA LOADING INNOVATION stayed for like 1min idk if it shut itself or i removed the cable (no battery at all ) now . I tried removing replacing ram sticks , i tried replacing cmos battery, i tried removing and puttig back the Cpu . The display cable . I tried connecting external monitor via Hdmi or vga (my laptop has both ) no display again on external monitors . I tried removing the display cable and connecting monitor no display on external . When i replaced HDD i could hear windows 10 sounds but no display .. if GPU is bad would windows start .. you sir , as an expert what to you think ...

[@PC_Monkey]

If you have already changed all those components and the computer wont display to an external monitor, then my first guess would be a motherboard issue. If you have already replaced it, then Id say try another one as that one may be bad

🏆 Thank you so much. I removed the ram stick, reinserted it and the screen started working. My only issue now the keyboard and touch screen isn't working. I bought a new keyboard, opened the laptop, plugged the new keyboard ribbon into the motherboard and it works. I would do the install myself but it's one of these models Toshiba satellite L50t-b-13u where the keyboard is buried underneath everything and you can't access it without opening laptop from the bottom and using a solder iron. Too advanced for me. I really love this laptop. It has everything I need. I think it'd be too expensive to repair.

Thank you so much. My Toshiba laptop has similar issue but with strange behavior. If I open the screen just a little while Windows boots up, and when the boot up completes I can fully open the screen and see thing. But if I fully open the screen while windows boots up, the screen is black even though I am sure Windows finishing up booting and then running. I varified this by connecting another old monitor. I wonder what is causing this

[@PC_Monkey]

1. The external monitor showed windows fine and you could use the computer but your own screen was black? 2. Also, did anything happen before this issue appeared? Liquid spill, overheating, Windows update, etc?

[@TheHeadlessHorseman]

thanks for the video. In your experiences would bad ram stick or bad CMOS battery keep the laptop from booting the hard drive? I have a dead satellite many years old that basically only the power light comes on the front. No HD light or anything else. Complete blank screen. Not sure the back light is even on. DVD drive makes some noise when first powered on.

Perform the external monitor test as seen at the end of this video. If the computer displays fine to the external monitor then your motherboard is fine. The issue would be with your LCD Cable or LCD.

Or, when you are installing Windows as seen in my video, you would not delete the Partition with the DATA on it. My video shows you how to delete all of them. You would save them.

I have a toshiba satellite L755-S5170 -laptop starts, startup screen comes up, I hear the fan but than all I see is cursor blinking on top left forever and if I press a few keys eventually it beeps at every click but it does not go into any restart loop - just sits there. Any suggestions on how to diagnose the issue? I have replaced cmos battery and checked the ram one at a time - does not help.

Great information, THANKS...i bought my Toshiba Sat. Lap...around 2008....my screen went progressively black by the angle....first a little tilt then more n more till finally nothing...can hear it start...as for the external monitor the F4 key doesn't do it, I have used it by a drop down window at a conference but no screen? In a small town all repair folks say is buy a new computer....I want this one...Does it sound like a wire got looser n looser? I got one screw that won't come loose, maybe lube will help,,,I'll look for LCD link...ya think the hinge cable came loose??? Thanks rjs

[@PC_Monkey]

Sorry I wasnt clear. Is it displaying to an external monitor?

[@randyshroder8577]

The only way I ever could use the VGA to an external monitor, etc. was by a drop down scroll ON SCREEN....(it has the F5 key logo but didn't work before the screen EVENTUALLY ,GRADUALLY progressively went black... So it didn't go out all at once,but had to tilt screen down more n more for a year or so....seems a cable came loose or got frayed from opening????....the opening n tilting the screen more n more to use...? Isn't that a hint? Thanks for any insight... Randy

[@PC_Monkey]

@@randyshroder8577 If you have to move the screen to affect the display then yes, most likely your looking at a loose or damaged LCD Cable or even a damaged LCD Cable port on the LCD. Try reseating the LCD cable first from both ends. If that does not work, then replace it. If that fails, replace the LCD

@@PC_Monkey So...weird thing. I got the replacement cards (I upgraded while I was at it), but when I putt he two new ones in, the same thing happened. I tried taking one out, and the laptop started fine. Then I replaced it with the other one (in the same slot) and it started fine. I tried putting them both in again, and the computer would boot, the fan would come on, but it wouldn't actually start up, like before. After trial and error, it appears I now have two working 4GB cards, two working 8GB cards, but only one working card slot. The slots are stacked on mine, and it's the top one that seems not to be working. Any ideas??

[@PC_Monkey]

@@TheBrianBooth Yes, it does sound like you only have one working RAM port :( You can try to get it fixed but in my experience, its usually just as expensive to replace the board. And most companies that 'repair' motherboards do not warranty their work :(

[@TheBrianBooth]

@@PC_Monkey I was afraid of that. There's some RAM built in, so at least I'm back up to 16, which is probably more than I need. I'm guessing that replacing that port requires some soldering?

[@PC_Monkey]

@@TheBrianBooth 16 is usually pretty good unless your doing some pretty heavy stuff. Yes, it would require at least some soldering. Sometimes more depending on the exact setup

Thanks for the video! Edit: Lol it was a complete failure, I don't own any compatible charger so I tried to opened it to clean it up and see if nothing had blown who could explain why it wasn't booting aaaand it's impossible to reconnect those flat ribbons so for the moment I just waste 20 bucks :)

Do you know how to fix water damage on Toshiba Satellite L850 when the three lights turn on but still black screen?

[@PC_Monkey]

Just so you know, liquid spill situations can be hard to troubleshoot just one issue as multiple different components and boards including the motherboard itself, could all be faulty. After a liquid spill, you want to first make sure the computer is 100% dry. You would turn your computer off immediately by pressing and holding the power button until the computer turns off. Then you would disassemble the computer as much as your comfortable with, at least trying to remove the bottom case. Then you would turn it on its side and let dry for a couple days. Have you done this yet or are you sure the computer is dry?

It didn't work after doing the ram and it didn't work going to my smart tv when I attached it to the hdmi. I don't know if it should display on my tv or not as I do not have an external monitor. I cant get to my little round battery without taking the entire back off and I fear I will mess the whole computer up if I do so. If it is my motherboard, what site can I go to in order to get a new one. I have a Toshiba satellite L655D-S5110.

@@PC_Monkey I definitely would like some help with that. I was able to get to the hard drive and the ram on the back since there are quick access panels but I will have to remove the entire back to get to the mother board. I do know that the computer turns on, fan turns on, everything turns on. It's just the screen that won't come on. It isn't even dim. It's completely black. I don't know where I will be able to get a motherboard since the laptop is 10 years old but I am hoping I can find one for relatively cheap as compared to what I paid for the laptop. I am hoping the screen comes on after the fix. It has a SATA hard drive so I can just insert that into another harddrive reader but I really don't want to have to throw the computer away. I know that after just a few months of having it, the battery stopped working too. I read that the batteries go out quick on them but I don't mind having to plug it in for it to work. Please give me any info you have. Thank you so much.
