My Toshiba laptop’s screen keeps shutting off
I have a Toshiba laptop that I bought in early 2011. It’s running windows 7 64 bit. If you need any other information about the laptop, just ask and I’ll provide it.
About 1-2 months ago, the laptop’s screen shut off all of a sudden, but the computer stayed on. I turned off the computer and turned it back on again and the screen didn’t turn on but the computer turned on. The fan was also running on high. I followed some advice I got online, and I removed the battery, held the power button for 30 seconds, put the battery back in and turned the computer on. The laptop was working fine.
About a week ago, I had the same problem and I did the same thing and the laptop worked fine. A few days ago I had the same problem, did the same thing, and the laptop worked fine. A day after that, same thing.
I bought a new battery, put it into the laptop, charged up the laptop all the way, then turned it on, and after about 5 minutes (I was already logged into windows at this point) the screen shut off.
What’s going on with my laptop? Apparently it’s not a battery problem because replacing the battery didn’t fix it.
What should I do?
Jam it back in, in the dark.
