black screen
I have a Toshiba Satellite, and the screen won't turn on, but the hard drive spins, and everything else works fine. I just need to know what's wrong with it before I send it off anywhere or decide if I just need to go buy a new one.
Just before anything went wrong, I was playing a game, and the screen made all these funny colors, then went black. I assume this means that it overheated. Is this damage permanent? Did it fry the onboard video/mobo?
I let it sit for a while, and same response. When I tried an external monitor, the windows logo came up for a bit, then the screen went black again. I wondered if it might just be the video drivers, but somehow I don't think I've been that lucky.
Please let me know if there's any hope, and what you think is wrong with it. Either the screen which is fixable? Or mobo, and I need a new one.
Thanks
