my laptop is Toshiba L755-16H, windows 8.1 update
All what I get now is a a first screen of “Toshiba Leaading Innovation” and “H2O bios” then the logo of windows 8 (4 blue quartered window) then black screen with flashing cursor and keep like that.
The details as follows:
it was working normally until certain critical update from Windows update, then it refuses to start at all.
in the beginning i tried to get into recovery options> advanced options> repair start up> but no benefit.
then i tried system restore> it failed and no benefit.
then system refresh> but i have windows 8 dvd not 8.1 so it said not suitable cd
the i searched the internet to enable safe mood and entered the command in command prompt
“bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy” (no quotes) from this forum:

and I could get into safe mood and tried to do system restore but it also failed.
After that I couldn’t boot the computer at all or even get into the system BIOS setup with F2 or F8 or F12
Also I tried to enter the dvd of the Recovery or the dvd of windows 8 but the they spins for little seconds and nothing happens although I am sure the dvd rom is the first in booting sequence.
I tried to disconnect the power supply and remove the battery then press the power button for 2 minutes > but no benefit.
I tried to press 0 (zero) with the power button on starting up and keep pressing zero to go tto factory settings but no benefit.
