I have a Toshiba Satellite A665-S6088. The last time I used it was last night and everything worked fine. It works with Windows 8.1, it has for a few months now, never had any problems until now. No updates installed recently and no errors has been reported. Still, this morning it sudendly won't start. I press the power button, it turns the flashing light on for about 4 seconds and then turns back off again. In the meantime, the screen keeps black and the Toshiba start up screen doesn't show up. I already tried doing a Power Cycle, as suggested on the Toshiba Support Page and still nothing! I'm kind of desperate, please help!
Have you tried pressing space bar (maybe its in hibernation mode) ?
or try holding power button for a few seconds (10) then turn it back on.
as a last resort you could try take the battery out, disconnect it from the power adapter, hold down the power button for 30 seconds and then place the battery back in and the power adapter and try powering it on?
Testimonial: "I already tried taking the battery out and holding down the power button, and it didn't worked. I can't press the space bar because it won't start long enought to let me try. I could notice that the cooler fan won't start either. It's not like that computer starts and then turns back off again, it's just that it doesn't start at any moment. So my brother has no good expectations on the computer starting anytime soon! Does this means that some part of the hardware might be damaged?"
you could try turning it on without the battery, just with the adapter. maybe it is is the power adapter that is broken ? does it have a green light ? also if you fell confident you can try opening the bottom of the laptop and removing a stick of ram or try putting it in another slot if available.
I did as suggested and opened the bottom and removed and switched rams of place, didn't made a difference :s already tried turning it without the battery and just the adapter and viceversa and still nothing!

Hi there.
That really quick flash of a blue screen is the blue screen of death and there is a possibility that the error could be memory related.
What you have to do is remove and clean the system memory and the slots the memory goes into.
Take out the battery and the AC power (if attached)
The memory will be located behind a panel underneath the laptop, unscrew the panel unclip the memory, clean the brass contacts and the slots with a clean, dry, soft paintbrush, then reseat the memory making sure it clips into place, replace the memory cover and reboot the laptop, see if it lets you into windows.
Please post back with the results and more help if needed, good luck and thanks for using FixYa!!
SOURCE: screen stays black on startup of toshiba satellite L300
have you tried either switching between external and internal monitor usally Fn + F5 on toshiba or try plugging a monitor into the back and see if it displays.
if you get a display on the external monitor then its probably a screen or inverter fault if you donot get a display to an external screen then it is likley t be the graphics on the board itself.
hope this helps

Take out the memory and reseat each memory stick one stick at a time in each slot one at a time. Be sure to turn on the laptop after each stick reinsertion. If you don't get any video then go ahead and take out the battery completely and only have the AC Adapter hooked up and turn on the laptop, this will make sure that its not an overdrained battery causing the laptop to show no video.
If this doesn't work then go ahead and take out the hard drive and dvd drive, then try turning on the laptop. If you still don't get any video then the last thing to try is to change the output from monitor to LCD, you would do this by pressing the FN key + the function key that has a pic of a monitor or it will say crt/lcd.
If after this last step you can't get video then the motherboard is bad and would have to be replaced.
