I'm having a problem with my Toshiba M35x-S311. It started several days ago when I would turn it on with the power cord plugged in. It would boot up and then the screen would go blank and it "seemed" quiet. I'm realizing now that should have been telling me something. I'd reboot it and it would be fine except that I would get a message telling me to switch to AC power because my battery was low. Today I go to turn it on and the power light (blue round button) stays on, but I noticed the drive light flashes quickly and never comes on again. The blue light stays on, but again the system is quiet (as if not on) and the screen is blank. I called Toshiba and they thought it was the screen. I think it's not getting power (but the blue light is on - is that power?) to the drive?? Any ideas? THANKS!
