I'm running Windows 8.

The black screen is happening after the logo appears so I know it's not the display that is broken. I plugged it in to my external monitor and everything works fine too, so probably not the HD?..right? lol No clue.

I've only tried taking the battery out and powering off. I went into F2, but I don't know what to do while there.

My mother said that it happened right after she installed windows updates. I've installed new drivers (I think), and there were 5 remaining updates in windows that I installed and it still goes black.

Any help would be awesome, thanks!

This has happened also to my toshiba laptop when I installed the new update a couple of days ago. Try holding down the power button until it shuts down all the way then push it one more time to turn it back on.

That was the first thing I tried man, ty though. I've tried holding the power button for 30 seconds to drain what was in there and removing the battery.

I also just did this and nothing.

1. Turn off your computer
2. Disconnect every wire from it (including power)
3. Disconnect the battery from the bottom of the computer. There will be two tabs labeled 1 and 2.
4. Re-plug in the power wire. (the battery should not be in the computer)
5. Turn on the power. The screen will work. Choose start windows normally. (if you get that screen)
6. Go to Control Panel -> (Mobile PC) -> Power Options -> Under Balanced choose change plan settings
7. Choose Change advanced power settings
8. Find Processor power management and change the minimum processor state from 5% to 100% for each On battery and Plugged in.
9. Click Apply then OK
10. Shut down you computer.
11. Disconnect the power cord.
12. Re-install the battery on the bottom of the laptop, plug in the power cord, and restart the computer.

When was the last time you sucsesfully used the laptop, because if it sits for that long it can rune some of the components inside and you might just need to take it to your local computer store they will figure it our for you.
