    we can not see your screen blank out. (exactly) and is normal new, with sleep mode ENABLED.
    the first tests of many are to cold boot the PC and go to BIOS PAGE 1,
    if BIOS WORKS AND MUST THE SCREEN MOST NOT FAIL. This is test 1 on all PCs that fail.
    in fact any of the 20 modules inside can do that. failed
    even all cables to PC inside and outside, so remove them all outside , not power pack
    he huge battery too must be removed to make sure it is not shorting out and overloading the internal power DC RAILs.

    C14 carbon dated 2011, no full model told like Toshiba Qosmio X770-11W -BTnnnn
    windows 7 home , day1.
    more tests,
    big battery out, AC pack only, 11 year old batteries are all no good now, and for sure too the internal RTC CMOS coin cell is dead, and that makes BIOS go mad (nuts) and can not find its setting and even causing dead screen,due to GPU settings are lost for that fact.
    the service manual should show the coin location, here I will tell you.
    it is a special battery (coin) that solders down (sorry facts) and is type ML1220 , class rechargable
    and the maker of the battery warns 5 year life span(panasonic and others)

    I will stop here and not do the other 18 + tests
    there are 20 part to the AVG laptop (complex options, etc) and any that short the card house falls.
    due to shared resources (and power)

    holding the power button for 10 fulls seconds,ends sleep if stuck and can, called the intel reset.

Question edited for full 'make model (what it is)'.
Question moved from 'Hard Computers' to proper category.

Take off all the covers, remove and re-seat all the connectors to hard drive, memory and video card. May also be the inverter to the display.

Testimonial: "so far seems to fixed problem thanks for your help cheers Tom"

My laptop wont turn on

When you boot up the Toshiba and it appears to boot up and the hard disk LED light flashes but you get a black screen then the problem is a back-light fault. This is caused by a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please click on this link and follow my instructions :-

Crashed error 03-FFFF-OOOO

if that error occurs while attempting the recovery, typically it indicates a read write error on the hard drive. replace the hard drive and see if the recovery finishes.

(although i have only seen this problem with failing hard drives)

Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q705 Laptop screen yellow

It is not a driver or video card problem. It is the monitor.

To be sure plug a full size desktop monitor into your laptops monitor jack. Every laptop has one. If the picture doesn't turn yellow that will confirm that your LCD is bad.

Toshiba Qosmio same problem as above.

you need to add new silver thermal paste to the video chip (GPU)... then uncheck both options from your turbo memory console.... that will "unclock" your video card ... and your pc should run smooth

Qosmio g15 recovery disk error

If the discs are clean and pretty much scratch free, then this is most likely a bad hard drive. If you have another PC or laptop, try burning copies of the recovery cds and then use those. If the problem remains, you will need a new hard drive.
