When it rains it pours. The Toshiba LP W-7 64 went dark. It was fine,

shut off and when I hit the On button a few days later, just a black

with a blinking " - " in the upper left-hand corner. Tapping the F8 is
supposed to bring up Safe Mode (as per Google) but instead up came a
screen
to do a memory scan. After it finished I tried again and it came up with
6
tabs of technical info that's alien to me. None of the tabs were for Safe
Mode. I had no way to know what to do on any of the screens. Anyone know
how
to get Safe Mode to come up on a Toshiba W-7?

Where do I go from here? The LP actually gets little use and is like new.
I
hate to recycle it.

I noticed a few days before that the battery wasn't charging. Since it
was
almost always used plugged in, it didn't matter.



Does this look like the LapTop that you are refering to;

This looks like it. Please see my reply to VanguardLH of 9:54 above.


Does this possibly ring a bell? (I havn't been right through it myself yet);
