Otherwise, assume your machine needs the gpu reflowed and don't trash it!

If you would like a copy of my t-shoot list to rule out all the other possible problems that can cause the black screen of doom, message me and I'll be glad to share it. You'll find the dustier or dirtier your normal environment, the more often you'll need to do it-at least twice per year is a good start, especially if you own pets that shed.

It's HIGHLY recommended to use a cooling pad under these systems (some of the Toshiba User Manuals even go so far as to tell you that you NEED to use one rather than just SUGGEST it.) and to periodically tear-down and clean out the inside around the heatsink, fan, etc. This is a known issue with the laptops in this line and while one of the other suggestions might work and solve your specific problem, be on the watch for the graphics to eventually die due to dust and/or heat buildup in the future. Didn't want to have to do that with this machine, so I'm borrowing a heat gun tomorrow and using this procedure found on YouTube: On the second unit I reflowed using a hairdryer, followed by my kitchen oven. On the first machine I had to troubleshoot for quite a while before determining the issue, including everything mentioned here in this thread, until finally deciding to replace the mobo over re-soldering the GPU (which I incorrectly assumed was my only option). Eventually nothing would help and they brought their laptops in for repair. Cause: overheating.Įach owner has said the same thing: over the past few months, every once in a while the screen stayed black during boot-up, but a restart or something similar like removing the battery, letting it sit overnight, or power-cycling made it boot correctly. I have a small electronics repair shop out of my home and just yesterday checked in a third Toshiba machine with this same problem: failed GPU.
