I don't have an extra monitor, but that is a great idea. no phone call back from the repair people. I probably shouldn't have left a message stating what was wrong. they probably don't want to fix it either! thanks Betty! I don’t have an extra monitor, but that is a great idea.

I had someone solder the power adapter connection on my old laptop. It cost $50. Sometimes, you can find computer wizards who charge less. I currently have an HP laptop and in less than four months of owning it, the DVD drive does not open anything. The green light comes on, but will not open any DVD. This is a brand new laptop and I luckily have super-duper protection for the computer, but haven't gotten around to seeing what's up with the drive because Customer Service leaves me on the phone too long. I'd also like to add that I can't stand Vista. .-= Yona Williams´s last blog ..<a href="http://pricelesswriters.com/a-greener-computer-world/" rel="nofollow">A Greener Computer World</a> =-.

If and when the laptop blacks out, the other screen will be visible and you will be able to get on with your computer life. It isn't hard to configure and it doesn't cost anything assuming you have a monitor ... or a friend to lend you their spare.

I have a Toshiba too, I bought it about 3 years ago - I love it. I am noticing that it gets super hot though. I don't want anything to happen to it - I really love it. I agree, if this guy can't fix it, though the timing is bad, it would be almost the same price to get a new one! Good luck! .-= Jennifer´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.eightymphmom.com/2009/10/amys-baby-is-here-congratulations.html" rel="nofollow">Amy's Baby is Here - CONGRATULATIONS!</a> =-.

I'm sending good thoughts your way. I also have a Toshiba, and knock on wood, it has been good to me for two years. $50/hour @ 4 hours? Ouch! Makes you want to go into the computer repair business!

I am so sorry! That really stinks. I have Toshiba TVs, but no computers. I've had good luck with them so far, but neither of them are very old. Best of luck to you on getting it fixed cheaply! Oh no!

It died within 14 months. It was going to cost lots to fix mine too. The hard drive just died. Good thing I had saved my info. I bought a new laptop. Getaway for $420 tax in. I love it and it works fast. Good luck with yours. I had a Toshiba too. It died within 14 months. It was going to cost lots to fix mine too. The hard drive just died. Good thing I had saved my info.
