Hi Thomas
try this:
take the battery out and unplug the power cable (charger ). leave it for couple of minutes then push and hold the power button for about 30seconds and let go.

Plug in the charger/power without the battery, then switch on.
if it doesn't work then it could be a problem with the motherboard.

let me know if this worked so we can follow up.
hope this helped
thanks

Can i install mcafee anti virus on my toshiba m40x that is 6 years old

I don't recommend this antivirus, even a good free a/v is better. Try avast, you can download it from download.com it is very good and I recommend to my customers as free option. Now, if you can afford $40 at year your best choice is norton antivirus. Before you install any antivirus you MUST uninstall any previously antivirus from your machine from control panel.

Hey i have a Toshiba Equium M40X-148 and the screen wont turn on. When i power the laptop up the power light lights up but the screen stays blank. Any ideas on what the problem maybe

If you tilt it to the light, do you see a faint image?

Can you connect the laptop to a external monitor and toggle the FN + F5 key to adjust monitor settings to output to the 2nd screen.

Toshiba equium m40x won't power up

whats happening is that the cpu is overheating and shutting down the computer due to your fan not spinning, if you wish to test this remove the bottom panel and remove the fan and its cooling tubes should all be one part (quite easy 3 or 4 bolts) and blow on the cpu or put a pedistal fan facing it or any other form of cooling that wont damage it, and try to start it if it boots for a while it is the fan and you will need to replace it, i had this exact problem yesterday
