    Hello, i have a toshiba a120 laptop. What happens is when i plug it in i get a green light (seems normal enough) and then i press the power button another green light comes up (again seems normal enough) and the hard drive starts to spin but i get no display on the screen and i checked to see if the CPU fan spins, it doesnt spin at all.

    All i can hear is the hard drive start up nothing else seems to happen.

    I have tested the following items in another laptop and they all appear to work:

    CPU Fan
    CPU
    Memory

    Have i missed something because atm im stomped as to whats wrong :(

    Can you try to connect your laptop to an external monitor?
