    Any know how to fix this issue with Toshiba Satelite P25-S676?

    1. Turn CPU on and after a few minutes of use I received an Error message via DOS screen. Message was related to back up HD information.

    2. Next time I turned machine on, it will not complete the boot process to take me to the Windows XP screen.

    3. The screen is now black with no picture and the machine seems to be functioning as normal. Fans work, etc. I did notice that there is NO lights displayed under the POWER button. This section usually have one of two light holes lit while CPU is in use.

    4. I replaced HD with new HD and have the same results with no picture on screen.

    Need help and don't know what to do to fix this issue. Angy suggestion is greatly appreciated.

    P25 is from 2004 and the hard drive is reaching the end of its life. Since it's replaced, you might clean off the dust from the heatsink. Hopefully it will be alright afterward.
