I have a Toshiba A205 S508 satellite laptop that was working fine up until today. When I turn it on it acts like it is going to load up with the windows logo (I have Vista on it) and then the screen just goes blank.

I have the recovery/backup cd but I can't get it to load up either when I put the disc in and I'm at a complete loss. I tried pressing F12 to go in to repair mode and it does but then nothing happens after it starts, the screen just goes black.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
