    Oye, this is not my week for computers. My daughters laptop, a Toshiba Satellite M3SX-S111, when hitting the power "on" button I hear some fan action and then beep beep beep....beep beep beep and then the fan noise goes off and all I get is black screen with no cursor. The blue power on light is still on and two amber lights and a green light. It's plugged in, and usually even if the batt. is low it will boot up if plugged. Anyone have any ideas why it won't turn on?

    Well the beeps are trying to tell you whats wrong, tried searching but only found out that it should be a m35x, do you still have the manual for it?

    No, I don't have the manual. Yes, I should have typed
    M35X. I tried the toshiba website and searched for no display and tried the fn and f5 key suggestions but got nothing. I didn't see anything about the beeps, can you direct me to that? That would be helpful, thx.
