Is there a spray or something that can get static out of my Toshiba Satellite laptop

Step 1:
Static, or fuzz, on your computer display is often caused by interference or an improperly functioning driver. Eliminate static using a two-part process. Ensure that your connections are tight and then ensure that you have the most recent display software installed on your computer. The entire procedure can be done in about 30 minutes or less.

Reach around to the back of your computer and ensure that your monitor cable is tightly connected to the machine. Perform the same task at the point where the cable connects to your monitor. Go to the website of your video card's manufacturer and click on the "Drivers Download" page. Enter the model number of your video card and click "Search." Download the latest driver for your system. Click "Save" to store the file on your hard drive. Double click on the file and click "Install" to install the driver to your system. Restart your computer when the installation is complete.

I have only a black screen other monitors work well.

I would try this monitor with another PC first, most common failures in the monitors after a couple years are failed caps in the power supply. Please verify first that it is not the PC problem, if it is, then please look through my pictures to get some ideas what to look for inside if you decide to DIY repair on you monitor.

Most common failures in the LCD monitors are bad capacitors (bulging top/seal or leaking) in the power supply, failed inverter circuits (blown fuse, shorted transistors, shorted/open transformers), bad lamps (poor solder connections or worn out lamps). You will need to open it up and inspect the inside, see example of failed monitors to get some ideas what to look for: http://s807.photobucket.com/home/budm/allalbums
Post back what you see inside so we can guide you further and it will help out other people in the future also.

Black screen

• 1) TAKE OUT YOUR LAPTOP BATTERY
• 2) REMOVE YOUR AC ADAPTOR CORD, that's the wall power, remove it.
• 3) NOW HOLD DOWN THE POWER BUTTON FOR 30 SECONDS.

That will drain any static electricity that has built up on your laptop system board and many times fixes the problem of a black screen. After the 30 seconds re-connect your laptop to the wall power and hit the power button normally and see if the laptop comes back up.

Replace your battery.
Restart!
