Black screen I have a Toshiba portege 7100 series. I can turn it on only I get nothing but a black screen. I know it's on and works because it makes the start up soundsand the indicator lights are on, just no display picture.

If your laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem is probably a back light fault. This can be a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions to identify the fault and possible fix :- http://www.fixya.com/support/r3598095-faulty_laptop_lcd_screen

Try hitting F8 during startup and choose last known good configuration.
Or you could try starting in safe mode and doing a system restore.
Have you made any changes to the system prior to this problem, as sometimes installing programs/drivers can cause similar issues. If so you will need to remove or configure the program causing the conflict. You can do this in safe mode.

I understand that driver is very important to a laptop so that a particular feature will work fine.

Most later model laptops support up to 2Gb of RAM.

Slide the button on the front to the left and lift laptop up

no you just need a wireless router

Some Windows start up file is corrupted. Repairing the Operating System will solve the problem.

Joe how can one help you if you don't tell us what type of help you want? I am sorry joe but need more info

all are not same but you buy through ebay you cant replace it go the shop and verfy onces

they should be the same the close number just means that they revised something... most laptops have builtin wi fi but if it doesnt just buy a cheapie usb or pc slot card! I would NOT reccomend that you install windows vista on your pc.....there are still yet too many problems with them and you will have A VERY hard time getting drivers that are compatible

as far as the rest of the specs... ask the seller! they should know or see if it says on the ebay auction page
