I have a Toshiba Laptop Satellite C55-C5379. Everything worked fine until about a year ago. (BTW my battery broke so I'm using the Charger for power) For some reason the screen stopped turning on. The computer still ran, but the screen was black. Then I found out that If I turned it on and then immediately closed the screen, waited for the Windows startup sound, then opened it, the screen would be on. About 2 months later instead of waiting for the Windows startup sound, I had to wait about 30mins. before the screen turned on. That worked for another month and now if I'm lucky enough to get it on, it goes to the "Your PC did not start correctly" screen. I can't reset the Laptop because when It gets to the step of restarting, the screen doesn't go on and I have to shut it down (By holding down power button).
I've tried holding down the power button for over a minute, Starting in safe mode, opening up the laptop and cleaning it and Checking RAM sticks to see if they popped out. Right now I'm thinking it's the graphics card but I can't be sure.
What do you think?
Don't mind the very silly username. (Not my idea)
