Toshiba is notorious for failed inverters that drive the backlight for the 
display.  Usually have to replace it.  I found an inverter for an older 
Toshiba on ebay for about $20.
You should also check the power settings to be sure it isn't shutting down 
the display too soon.  You can plug in an external monitor to see what's 
going on.

Subject: [PCBUILD] laptop issue with monitor


I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop problem:  The desktop is fine for the 
first few minutes and then goes dark - too dark to see icons on the desktop. 
Anyone know the cause and solution for this?
