Hi,
Does the display show anything before you enter windows? If yes, then press the key to transfer video back to your original screen once you enter windows. It should be the function key "Fn" + F5 - F8. looks for the icon which shows a monitor or says "CRT/LCD".
If it doesn't show anything before you enter windows I'm afraid your screen needs to be replaced. Good luck.

I would suggest going to a service center as this is a very delicate procedure. Let them do the job and just pay for certain fees at least you will get a warranty from them. Otherwise, doing by your own would be too risky as it might break the LCD or perhaps, you may wrongly connect certain parts.

If you browse Toshiba's web site, all drivers are available for that item.
Hope this helps.

easy, your touching your mouse pad (square you touch to move the mouse), you can turn it off and use a regular mouse, turn off the laptop, plug in a mouse, windows will automatically detect it.

On every Toshiba notebook Touch Pad can be disabled on two different ways. The first one is using FN+F9 key combination or using DISABLE option in mouse properties.

Make changes to the mouse and mouse pointers in the Mouse Control Panel. To open Mouse, click Start, click Control Panel, click Printers and Other Hardware, and then click Mouse.

Good luck,
Mr.Fix-it-guy
