    The laptop screen is 'dead' and no USB power on boot


    Most of the times, I just 'sleep' the laptop. Yesterday, I 'slept' the laptop and didn't use all day. Today morning, tried to boot it, it felt like it did boot (fan running etc) but the screen remained dead (as in the screen didn't power up). There was no power to USB ports either. A quick googling led to many options. - I removed RAM modules (4GB x 2) one by one to see if there is any faulty RAM module. - Removed the battery and tried to 'reset' and used power cable to power up to see if anything changes. - Connected laptop to the TV to try to get screen 'working', no effect. I could not decide whether its the screen or anything else. (Since there is no USB power, I am not too sure if HDMI ports are live.) - Last option, was to check the CMOS battery. Opened up the laptop (Toshiba A505-6005) and found that the battery is soldered to the motherboard. I am not exactly well-versed with soldering so before I venture into it, is there anything else I can check for? Can anyone guess any other problem? Thanks in advance.

    The laptop screen is 'dead' and no USB power on boot

    No boot from USB

    As Kyhi mentioned, If you're booting from a USB drive, it doesn't matter what you have on your laptop drive.
    How are you pointing to boot from the USB drive, by BIOS priority or by boot menu during POST?
    Follow these steps to open the Startup menu when the computer is powered off.

    1. Turn on the computer.
    2. Immediately press the Escape key repeatedly, about once every second, until the Startup Menu opens.
    3. Select the EFI USB drive


    PS.: You can only boot as UEFI if the OS is 64 bits. Is your Linux on the USB drive 64 bits version?
    Is the USB drive formatted as Fat32?
