I was given a Toshiba satellite pro 650-Ez1. I have been charging the battery and when I turn on the laptop it shows that it's on except for the screen is totally black. After trying to function buttons the laptop will shut off by itself. At one point it started to give institutions to do a task , however there was nothing but a blank and black screen. Please tell me what could be the problem and if it's worth getting it repaired. Thank you any help or advise goven.

Try this...

1. Turn the laptop off (not sleep or hibernate but off).
2. Connect an external monitor to the laptop.
3. Turn on the external monitor.
4. Turn on the laptop.

NOTE: You may have to press an "external monitor" button. Could be the f4 button or a button with two monitors on it, for the external monitor to work.

If you can see fine on the external monitor, then your attached display, or the ribbon cable that connects it, are your problem.

If you can't see on the external monitor at all, or the problem occurs on the external monitor as well, then it is probably the graphics card/GPU that is the problem, which may require the motherboard be replaced.
