I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-15L and i tried to change the wireless network adapter because the old one was playing up. I removed the keyboard, HDD and battery taking off the back case (not in that order though) and tried to replace the card. Turns out it was too big, but I tried it anyway. It was a Intel Wireless wifi link 5100 but upon further research it turns out the card is probably bios whitelisted (blocking it). So I tried to boot the computer with it in but the screen was black. No problem, I thought, just the card. So I put the old card back in and it still has a black screen trying to boot up.
Everything powers on as I can hear the HDD spinning and fan going, but I don't even get a beep from the motherboard to tell me something is wrong. I've tried plugging it into a monitor through HDMI and took out and put back in the CMOS battery to try and restart/clear something to do with the bios (can't really remember). Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? Is it just the screen, I might have knocked something but this isn't my first time opening up the laptop.
