I have the same problem as described in posts 27 from Mark Hadfield and 36 from Mary! Funny, but both times I visited the local Toshiba service, the computer (L-30) started OK, and I could not demonstrate the problem to the technicians!:( I wonder if Mark and Mary would like to write to say how they dealt with this problem?

I have an l39 with the dim screen problem. I have checked the voltages on the input pins and if the bottom one which is connected to earth is pin 1 then there is 3.5v between pins 1 and 2 and 16-18v between pins 1 and 5. No pin 4 and nothing manful on pin 3. I have tried afew replacement converters and none work. Could it be a problem with the screen switch. If this were stuck on closed would the voltages still be on the pins as I have described above

Btw there is nothing on the output ins of any of the inverters I have tried

Thanks

I have a L30 toshiba satellite laptop. When I switch the laptop on the LED’s light green and then the battery turns to orange. The fan also works. But nothing comes on the screen. What can be the problem?

Thanks for this post, it was very helpful to me while stripping my L30 10Y laptop to perform a CPU upgrade, which was also successful!
Keep up the good work!

Craig,

i have a toshiba satellite L300 and i recently took it apart to fix the usb ports, when i put it back together the screen didnt not turn on.
everything turns on fine, but the screen stays black as if its not plugged in. i plugged in a monitor to the laptop but this still didnt work!

Maybe one of the memory modules is not seated correctly. Try reconnecting memory modules.
