    Sounds like a bad flash.

    Unfortunately 'laptop' doesn't really give us anything really to work with.

    Brand, model and flash method may help.

    smarteyeball is correct as it sounds like a bad flash... If so, back to the manufacturer it goes.

    maybe this might help, is this the black screen that indicates your windows is not genuine? if yes, some oem, are tied to the bios, for instance dell has a universal windows activation code, but it will only work on a dell bios.
    therefore if the bios was changed it would cause the above problem.

    If the laptop is not even POSTing - complete blank screen, I'm sorry to say but you will most likely have to take it somewhere to be repaired since the BIOS is corrupted beyond easy recovery.

    You could try a local PC store or contact Toshiba directly.

    Depending on the mainboard of that laptop, you will need an a specialized tool to 'erase' and 're-flash' the EPROM/EEPROM chip or a replacement EPROM/EEPROM chip if it's detachable.

    Updating your BIOS is very important. The updates patch things that were wrong with system. Like some updates may give you better battery life and better system stability or performance.
