So if is bad you can buy a graphic card with a VGA port.

Hi there! What is happening here is the computer is not posting up. Does it show you the windows logo? I believe not? Usually for this kind of problem you can try this steps . First unplug all the external devices connected to your computer like printer,scanner then unplug the power cable/Ac adapter connected to your computer from the power outlet or strip if your using one and make sure that you will take out the battery as well.. Try to press and hold the power button for like 20seconds (you have to do that to remove any flea power inside the system we called this "power cycle").After that plug in the Ac adapter and start the computer normally by pressing the power button again. If the system power on normally that would be great but if not there might be problem with the hardware so you have to contact Toshiba it will be better if the system is still in warranty (Take note of the keyboard lit lights as well cause Toshiba technical support might ask that ). Hope this help you. God Bless...
