    I could really use some help. My laptop is about 2 years old and I had just installed some DVD making software by Pinnacle on it. Long story short it didn't work and so I uninstalled it. The next day I turn on my computer and the computer comes on but the screen doesn't. The Toshiba logo flashes on but then it is blank. All the sounds are there like when Windows is booting up. I can shine a flashlight on it and the screensaver is there. I have done the Function and F5 key many times and it does nothing. I have tried hooking up a desktop monitor to it and then the F5 thing and nothing happens there. Something really weird here because a couple of times since this happened (a week ago) I was able to get the screen up by doing the F5 thing. It was a fluke. I am almost scared to turn the computer off if I should ever get it up again. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
