When we try to turn it on, the tishi a screen comes up, and then it goes black. It was making clicking noises, and my daughter not Ed that it had car/dog hair on the bottom by the fans. I opened it up, and cleaned out dust and hair from around the fans using an air can. Are all 3 fans supposed to continually run? The small one in the middle stops when the screen goes black

SOURCE: fan Problem - Toshiba Satellite M35X-S349

Your fan is running to keep your system (mainly your processor) from overheating. Heat is the biggest enemy of laptops, and most aren't designed to put on your lap (as air intake ports are usually on the bottom and blocking them with your pants, comforter, blanket, etc... will not allow air to circulate causing heat sensing hardware/software to kick the fan into high speed) as that name would suggest. I believe that Notebook computer is the more proper term for most of them, though some are designed with no air intakes on the bottom side, unfortunately yours does. When you opened it up and "cleaned it" did you clean the heat sync and the other components or just the fan? If your PC is in a smoking environment it will have tar build up holding the dust and need a more thorough cleaning than just blowing it out with canned air from the outside (you may want to disassemble it and clean it with a non residual, non petroleum based contact cleaner. Otherwise there are plenty of temperature monitoring softwares out that will tell you what the processor and harddrive temperature are and most have free trials that you may want to try to see if heat is your problem. There is also software available to monitor and even increase/decrease your fan speed.
Good Luck.

SOURCE: completely black screen

Hi,

I had the same problem before. I think Toshiba had a problem, because when I removed the battery and switched it on again it was working.

After that you can put the battery again.

Try that.

SOURCE: Toshiba Satellite A215-S7437 will not boot up...

Take out the hard drive completely and then see if you hear the clicking noise, if you do then that means the hard drive is bad. Also if it goes right to another message and you don't see the blinking cursor then that also verifies that the hard drive was bad and causing the system to hang.

My 55ld520 screen goes black, turn off for short time comes back on but then goes black again.

Start simple by using different cables, whether they be HDMI, VGA or standard COAX cables. They could be losing the connection. Also, it's possible the power supply is wearing out and it gets too hot. You might want to simply try some spray air duster type thing to clear out any dust that can make it hot.

You have to make sure that your Cartridges is clean. Try to vacum of blow both of the cartridge hole and also the place where you put the cartridge, Sometime very small tiny dirt will makes that the cartridge cannot be recognise by the console.

Instead of 1 starter game and a few demo game that you get from Leapfrog Connect, you can also get more downloadable games for your Leapster 2. You can get it here:

My daughter bought a Polaroid 4GB PMP280-4 player she has somehow darkened the screen and now cannot get it to light back up other than when it turns on it shows the loading screen and goes black, how do...

This is tricky. You will have to navigate through the menu in the 'dark'. Remember that when you touch the screen, double touch as you would when you click your mouse. Turn it on, you will see the 'Polaroid' logo and then it goes black. Here you need to double touch in the bottom right corner. This is the settings, it is a big box so dont worry about missing it. Then you double touch on the middle of the left side, this is the display. Then double touch on the lower right side. This is where the brightness bar is. It should reboot the page with a brighter screen and the black goes away. If dont see results, turn it off and try process again. Promise this works, I fixed both of my daughters!

Screen goes black. :(

My daughter is now going through two replacements for the screen going blank on this model. I'm still having to pay a deductible for a phone that was replaced the first time for the same problem this time. Evidently this is a common problem with this phone.
