A friend borrowed a Toshiba Satellite C50D-C to do some tidy up work in windows 10. She left the laptop for an hour while it was still on but came back to find a black screen. Nothing she did could get it out of hibernation/sleep or whatever was wrong with it. The caps light and numlock lights remain on, no matter what is done. A reboot seems normal from the sounds but a black screen always presents itself and the numloc/capslock lights are always on.
I have tried various Fn key combinations, taken out the drive, disconnected keyboard, CDRom, all peripheral cables, checked graphics connector, tried an external monitor all without success. I have googled extensively to try and find if that num/caps lock glow is an error code of some sort but couldn't find anything.
The laptop seems to be booting up OK with fans spinning, optical drive initialising and remains on but there is never any video output. Not even Toshiba logo.
This is one cheaply made laptop. It's basically a tablet dressed up as a laptop with no dedicated graphics chip and a CPU soldered to the MB.
I think the CPU is damaged as that is what must handle the graphics. Any ideas to try ou would be appreciated.
