    Hey guys. I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 laptop on which the LCD display won't work. It worked fine a few months ago, then a buddy of mine plugged it into is flat screen TV via HDMI. It worked for a second, then everthing went blank, then both the HDMI and regular LCD panel had no display. After restarting the computer, there's no LCD display, no POST screen... nothing. It still works fine with VGA or HDMI, but I can't do anything to get the LCD to work. I've tried resetting the BIOS to default, even reflashing the BIOS to the latest version via the Toshiba website. Any thoughts?

    You also might need to enter your BIOS and be sure what it is now detecting as the video card. Can you get there?

    Yeah, it defaults to 'auto detect' (or something along those lines) which will disable the LCD if an external monitor is attached. I switched it to LCD + VGA, but still no luck.
