    Hi,

    I have a Toshiba M50 laptop and got a blank screen right after the POST. I was told the laptop hanged while on operation and it did that after trying to reboot.

    When I turn it on, I get the POST screen. If I hit F2 to go to setup, I get the please wait message and then a black screen. If I got to the boot menu, I get all devices, I picked CD in case the HD is the problem, and again get a black screen.

    I have no error displayed or any light flashing.

    I tried removing the battery, running only on the battery, removed and put back both the HD and memory module to clear out contact issue. No luck. Any idea?

    Thanks!

    Toshiba Satellite M50 (PSM53C-MX200F)
