NB250 - blank screen on start up
Posted: 28-May-2011 11:27

When I turned on my NB250 this morning, the screen was blank, no TOSHIBA logo, no nothing. power-on indicator is lighting, HDD indicator lights for a second then nothing, I can hear the fan inside, can somebody help?

I read on the forum that I need to update my bios but how? Please help

Hello

Why updating the BIOS if your computer is not able to start properly?

Either the internal display is malfunctioning and doesn’t show a picture or it’s serious hardware malfunction like mainboard itself.

At first I would connect an external monitor before you start the notebook to check if it’s a monitor problem or not. After you have connected it, turn on the computer and press FN+F5 key combination to switch on external monitor.

If it doesn’t help check this article:

I already tried connecting it to an external monitor and pressed the fn-f5, still no display.

Is there a way I can update the bios during start-up?

I heard acer aspire one laptops can do this by storing the bios update in a flash drive then pressing shift-esc upon pressing the ON button.
