I noticed my screen on my laptop flickers sometimes and it even gets black and I can not see anything. I have to push on ( I do not know what they call it) small stick which is sticking out on the right hand top corder on the base part of the computer. It makes beeping noise when you press and the screen comes on. But it is hard to keep the screen on unless you find the certain position for it. What could be wrong with it and how can I fix it? Thanks.

I would say that you have a shorted wire or connection somewhere. I would find a reputable shop and let them repair it as it would be best as to not totally ruin it!

This might also be caused by corrosion in the switch mechanism for the LCD display. As advised above, this is a repair best left to a professional. Please let us know if you found someone's advice to be helpful.

I believe that Toshiba model falls under a repair bulletin from the manufactuer. It is an inverter issue and they will repair for free or reimburse you if done at another shop. http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/forum... (it says ends may 2005 but you may still be eligible if you contact them directly)

Thanks to all of you for suggestions. I will try to get in tuch with toshiba to see what they say.

Hi guys, I just called Toshiba. They said the program for fixing my problem ended and they want me to pay $435.00 for fixing it. Such a rip off. I told them I will buy a new computer for that price befor I pay them. So much fo Toshiba. Obviously since they had recall on this issue its their fault and they want me to pay money for it? I can probably have it fixed for lot cheaper somewhere around my town.

I don't know your exact model number but if your fairly decent with working on things, you could buy the part online and install the part yourself. Also take a look at this for the inverter itself.
