You remember that laptop I got for my birthday last month? Well, today it stopped working.

I can turn it on, but all that comes up is the 'Toshiba' logo at the beginning.

So now it's back to my old blue, smaller-screened, cold laptop built by idiots, has THE worst graphics card in the history of graphics cards and has 2 keys missing (Though since they'e the 'Esc' and 'End' keys, that doesn't really matter).

So now, I want Pokemon FireRed, a 3DS, a Wii U and a new laptop...

I just hope I can get a new laptop by Christmas. I better get a new laptop by Christmas or there are gonna be some bodies around the house.

I could lend you 300 hundred dollars but I'm waiting for Iphone 5, a knee board and a new chair

Thanks, but this being England, dollars would be rather useless...

oliver i'm pretty sure you can exchange the money for whatever the name of english money is

Pounds. They have the same symbol as PokeDollars. Which sounds much cooler.

And I guess you can...

wait so what is this then? £

ok what are pokedollars that sounds like the name of some amusement park money or something

That's it!

Though $300 wouldn't really buy me a good laptop here anyway.

$300 dollars here are worth about £192.

Pokedollars are from POKEMON! DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUH

Oliver if you get a 3Ds.
Legend of zelda ocarina of time is a MUST HAVE
IM NOT KIDDING MAN THAT GAME IS SO AWESOME
YOU WILL BE STUCK TO IT FOR A YEAR OR SO
TRUST Me you cant beat that game in a week unless you play 24/7
ITS SO FUN

Oli tech support!
Go into safe mode by taping f8 or f10 or f12 or the Del, or esc key when the laptop starts.
Then select safe mode with networking and see if you can get into windows.
Then check your startup programs (personally, I disable EVERYTHING at startup including my antivirus software which comes up a couple of minutes after startup.)
Press the start and r keys together and type msconfig into the run box and hit enter.
Go to the startup tab and disable/uncheck any programs.
Apply changes and restart your computer.

Tell me how it goes.
One of my old laptops stopped working today, won't even switch on.

Well X, that would work, but it seems it won't...

Please explain Oliver.
Error messages? Freezes?
Safe mode doesn't load after 10 mins?

Well, when I turn it on, the usual Toshiba logo comes up, then a blank screen...

So I have dubbed my "new" laptop, Bob. I named it that a few days ago. If it ever stopped bugging me in someway, I would've given it a cooler name.

And I have dubbed my current and old laptop, Steve!

Lol Oliver, you're a priceless member.
So despite it being a blank black screen, you still can't get into safe mode?
Have you tried all the f keys?

I had my dad work on fixing it. He tried all he could. But I'm afraid Bob is dead.

Never liked it that much anyway...

Is this of any help?

Cool, keep us updated and if it fails, Google does wonders in troubleshooting.

Wait, the Tech Support can't fix his Laptop? Oh the irony.

Fair enough.

One does not simply mistake Pokedollars for Amusement park money.
