Hi guys hope you can help.
About a couple of months I dropped my toshiba laptop on the floor and cracked the screen making the screen useless. When the laptop is switched I can only see flashing lights of different colours but no picture.
Anyway I found out that I could connect my laptop to my tv so I can see what I'm viewing via a vga to vga cable. It doesn't have hdmi by they way.
So the last couple of months I've been fine and my laptop has been working fine on my tv but now it just won't work. At first I thought it could be the cable but I have noticed that when the toshiba page comes right up at the beginning it works fine but as the computer starts to start up it just goes off.
I have looked on different pages and have seen that I can press the fn and f5 key but maybe I need to select something when they are pressed in I don't know but I can't see the screen to know what to select.
Anyway hope somebody can help as at this moment I can't afford to get it repaired or replaced.
Many thanks
