Hi there, I am working on the Toshiba C55 laptop listed in the title and I am kind of stuck. I am very familiar with electronics but I have never tried to fix a laptop at the component level before and I am flying blind without any sort of schematic. I will attach some pictures to the bottom but I will go over what has happened to the machine, what I have done and where I am now.

I am working on a toshiba with an intel core i5, also just a black screen. I havent fixed mine but I can at least tell you that the intel pch (northbridge) gets very hot at idle and its normal. I thought there was something wrong with mine when I touched it but normal idel temp is around 60c, if it gets over 80c then there could be a bigger problem with it.

Good luck with your repair.

New here, going to be making a thread about a laptop I am attempting to fix at a later date. It was dropped with a small bluetooth dongle in the usb 3.0 port, this forced the post to detach from the board. Once opened I found the inductor windings all over the place so I imagine something shorted out but Im going in blind without a schematic.
