Dropped laptop, after Toshiba screen, nothing happens. Help!

My wife accidentally dropped our Toshiba Satellite L750 part# PSK1WU-0SW04G. The drop was from about 3feet onto a tiled floor. The laptop was off and closed when it fell. It landed on its bottom side and there is no obvious signs off damage to the outside. When you try to start the laptop, the Toshiba screen comes up and then goes off (like it used to), but nothing happens after that. The led lights work, the fan works, won't won't ever boot up. It'll just stay on a black screen after that.
Foolishly, we had just downloaded a bunch of pictures and videos a couple of weeks before that were not backed up yet. Hoping to gain access to at least recover those. And would love to have a working laptop again. 
Any assitance would be greatly appreciated. From what I've read, guessing the hard drive was damaged?
thanks in advance, 
david

 Purchase a USB hard drive adapter and see if the hard drive can be read from a different computer, if not then google "data recovery" and have someone try to recover the files for you. Good luck.

    Click the Apple logo at the top left hand corner and go down to Force Quit. Then force the Finder to restart/quit.
    Otherwise you can use the Command-Option-Escape short cut keys to open up Force Quit and force the Finder to quit.

  • I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens.

    I can't move photos from iPhoto to my secondary hard drive or to a burn folder.  I have never had a problem with this before.  This is something new.   They will not drop into either folder.  Nothing happens. 
    I checked my secondary harddrive and there is plenty of memory.
    I emptied my burn folder but the photos still will not drop into it.
    I created a new burn folder, no luck with this either.
    230 photos is the maximum size of the events I am trying to move from iPhoto to save elsewhere.
    I have shut down and restarted my computer.   No change. The photos still will not drop out of iPhoto.
    My Mac Computer Storage shows that I have 62.2GB free out of 249.2GB (movies, photos and contacts taking up the most space)
    My Lacie External Harddrive (2TB capacity) shows that I have 1.79TB available.  It shows that 207,729,520,640 bytes (207.73 GB on disk) are used.
    I have never had this problem before.  It is usually very easy to move my photos from iPhoto.
    I am not a computer expert (I work in surgery so don't have a need for lots of computer knowledge) so please explain in simple terms.  
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide.
    I really appreciate it.

    YES Terence!  Thank you. Exporting allowed me to move my photos from iPhoto into the Burn Folder on my desktop.   But that doesn't explain why I'm having to go that route now.   Have I done something (accidentally changed some setting) on my computer that will not allow me to just click and drag anymore?   I really liked the convenience of the click and drag option. 
    I don't have the time tonight to export and burn a lot of CD/DVDs.  I'll try that tomorrow and make sure my photos are moving properly.  I also need to export photos to my external hard drive to make sure that route is working. 
    Wouldn't you know that my Apple Care Plan runs out this Wednesday?!  I need to make sure everything is working properly before that expires. 
    Thank you so much for your help.   I really, really appreciate it.

  • The gmail stopped working in the ipad; when i touch the screen nothing happens, other apps are working

    THe gmail stopped working; when i touch the screen nothing happens, cannot use any funtion with gmail, but other apps work normally

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset
    If it is the gmail app you are using, you might also try deleting and reinstalling it. If you are using the built in iOS mail app, you can try deleting and re-adding the gmail account.

    he is on a pc, we bought a subscription to the license and was told it's 180 a year or 14.99 monthly per user, on the business plan.  So the sales rep on the phone walked us through adding the people who will be added to account who will need a license to use.  the sales rep said that we just need to go to that section and add users and it will email the user a link to download the file and install

    Should I uninstall and reinstall, and if so does that cause additional problems?

    I'm having the same problem.  I used it one day and everything was fine...next day, nothing will open.  Tried uninstalling and re-installing numerous times but no change.  Tried to contact support and they don't support this product (I just purchased it in August).  Am VERY disheartened with their customer support.

  • Satellite M40 - 129 stops booting after Toshiba Screen

    Hi,
    my M40 sometimes stops booting after the Toshiba Screen. It stops and all I can see is the flashing cursor. No Error-Message or something else and normal booting from HDD. Booting from CD (eg. Knoppix) works. This problem only occurs sometimes and isnt traceable for me.
    Best Regards
    Spoony

    Hi Spoony
    Unfortunately on this way it is not easy to say why this happen. Every user has individual OS configuration and we dont know how your OS is configured.
    Can you start OS in safe mode? If yes check a little bit what the problem can be. If there is nothing that you can do I recommend you to save all your data and preinstall unit using recovery media. If you do this I also recommend you to create two partitions.
    Dont compare WXP and Linux booting procedure. Like you know Knoppix uses just RAM and not HDD for running.

  • HT4061 my iphone 4s is in a coma, my sleep button does not work and when i connect it to my charger nothing happens, help!

    my iphone 4s unexpectedly stopped working, it wont turn on and my sleep key has not worked in months so i am unable to reboot the phone by holding the sleep key and home button . all i see is a black screen that is lit. when i connect it to the charger nothing happens. please help me!

    There's no software fix for a hardware issue. Make an appointment at any Apple store, an out of warranty replacement is US $199 for an iPhone 4S. It that's too much money, find a third-party repair service. But, be aware, if a third-party touches your phone, you void all support from Apple & forfeit the right to an out of warranty replacement. Also, since Apple does not sell parts, there is no way to determine if any parts used to fix your phone are genuine or knock offs.
