Toshiba Satellite - black screen only when plugged in

Hi. I have a Toshiba Satellite (P205 S6337). My screen was black the other morning when I went to use it, I keep the screen on and open pretty much 24/7. When I unplug the power adapter and use the battery only then the screen is normal. I tried a good power adapter on it thinking that might be the problem but that didn't fix it. I also made sure the display was on full brightness for both battery and power usage. If I plug the power cord in then the screen immediately turns black and will not come back on until I unplug it, close the top and then open it back up. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!

    Hi, thank you so much for your help. I followed your instructions but the screen will still only work on battery only. I did notice when I replugged the cable (without the battery in) and pressed power that on boot up the screen came on for a few seconds and then turned off and then it flickered again later on. I can see the display when the screen is black, very faintly, and when I shine a flashlight on it I can see it pretty well. Also, I plugged it into another monitor with the battery in and the power cable connected and the display showed up normally on the other monitor. Any other suggestions? Thanks again!

How do you change a keyboard in a toshiba p205-s6337 laptop

It is not a simple operation -- if you have to ask "how", STOP, and take the computer to a qualified technician, to get it done correctly, and without any collateral damage.
