Troubleshooting Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267

I get the same thing. Hard drive light flashes for a sec, the power light comes on, and then the disk drive wants to read a disk. After that, nothing happens. No monitor stuff, no bios, nothing! I hooked it up to an external monitor and still nothing. What gives??

Is the laptop getting extremely hot on the bottom.
Could be thermal shut down (keeps the cpu from meltdown temperatures)

Toshiba Satellite P205-S6267 screen is blank but backlight is on and external monitor out works

Your LCD panel needs to be replaced more than likely. There are plenty of youtube videos if you are a DIYer, otherwise take it to your local computer shop and they should be able to fix it up within a day or two for 50-100 dollars plus the cost of the part. Good luck... you can find all your parts on ebay if you decide to go DIY

I have a toshiba P205-S6267 laptop with windows vista it had a 120 Gigabyte drive out of the box I installed a 500GB hard drive wastold that this would make the motherboard crash or operating system...

The "worst" that could happen would be that the motherboard would either:

* not recognize/support the "large" disk-drive at all,

* would only be able to access "part" of the disk-space, e.g., the first 128GB or 256GB or 512GB of disk-space.

However, those possibilities only occurred with "older" motherboards.

Given the specifications for your computer: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/product/pdf_files/detailed_specs/satellite_P205-S6267.pdf

and the fact that Microsoft Vista is pre-installed, you must have a "recent" motherboard, and it will support any serial-ATA disk-drive (500GB, 1TB, 2TB, ... ) that you can afford to purchase.

Toshiba satellite p205-s6267 backlight

Your system is consuming much power.

Go to Control Panel, Power Options.

Click "Advanced Power Settings" for your current power plan.

Under the section "What happens when I close the lid", choose "Do nothing" for both "Battery" and "Plugged-in".

Click "Apply" and "Ok".

Now, close the lid of your laptop and open it, it would restore but next time don't overload your system power.

This is common with Dell and Toshiba.
