Is it still under warranty? If so I'd give Toshiba a call first. | |

Are the lights flashing? If so and it is in a pattern then that is an error code. In my experiance as a certified Toshiba tech, flash codes are almost always the system board.
If you can post the model number, that is the second number on the back label (it might say part number) I wioll try to look up part numbers for you.
