Toshiba Satellite - No Screen Display

[Benny5]

Water has recently got on my laptop (Toshiba Satellite L50). While most of it appeared superficial there is now no screen display or fan noise when its switched on. The ON/OFF button light works and the front power light is constant ‘ON’ while the ‘Wireless Comms indicator flashing red.

I’ve worked my way through the on-line YouTube suggestions but all to no avail. Having removed the back/battery/CD drive I can’t see any obvious signs of water damage.

As this is almost 8 years old should I just give up and salvage the data from the drive and replace.

Have you tried connecting another monitor to it to see if that works?

Thanks for your input.

I’ve given that a go, using HDMI interface, but with no success.

The On/Off button continues to flash ‘white display’, also, the Cap Lock and Num Lock keys also flash intermittently.

While waiting for delivery of an enclosure to try and save the dada, I've had another look at this today and the only thing to report is that when a CD/DVD is inserted into the drive it endeavours to read it?

Don't know if that’s encouraging or not.
