Chosen Solution
This laptop was disassembled to repair bad hinges. When it was reassembled it would not start. Memory has been checked. Backup battery has been changed. Optical and Hard drive checked. Num lock key works. On and Off button works. Screen lights to black but will not show Toshiba or launch Windows. Motherboard was changed with guaranteed replacement.
Bob, connect an external monitor and see if that shows anything. Sounds like either not all connections were seated or a bum LCD
