If you get any display at all (i.e. the laptop POSTs), it would be a good
idea to update the BIOS.

I work for Toshiba fixing laptops, and I can say there have been some
issues with hibernation on P100 models. (P105 is US version).

If you can't get it to do anything, try connecting to external monitor. If
you still get nothing you'll have to take it in.
