Re: Toshiba satellite problem

It sounds like a driver issue. When Windows loads the video driver, it turns off the backlight.

You can continue using the external by enabling both monitors to come on at boot in the BIOS (press F1 or Shift+F1 at the Toshibs logo). You can also try enabling it in Windows, but this will be more difficult).

You might also be able to swap monitors by pressing the monitor swap button which is an Fn+Function key combo. You will have to check in the manual which it is.
