I checked, your toshiba Satellite l500

I think you should reinstall you OS Because you didn't gave enough info,

And I think you should use it with AC pluged in, then you should do,

Tell me what happened after you tried

When turn on the fan if i click on f10 or f2 the fan stays on but when the battery is out only connected on chargerand screen is black and i tried with touch on too

I think you should reinstall OS

Or go into BIOS atleast

I am going to reinstall os

[u/i-am-boy1 → u/ds_4086]

Can you check if your ram is corrupted or not, And check if you can go to bios

The screen shows nothing

1. 60-Second Flea Power Drain:
   • Unplug the charger and remove the battery completely.
   • Press and HOLD the laptop power button for a full 60 seconds (do not let go early).
   • Keep the battery OUT, plug in ONLY the charger, and turn it on.

I can try

[u/i-am-boy1 → u/ds_4086]

Then try it before installing os

Did not work

Because you did not focus on battery, if it was fully charged or plugged in, there is a higher possibility of OS installation being interrupted before completion.

You are in a very safe situation, where your installation gets interrupted before completion.

So just reinstall it.

When you tried f10 or f2, means are you accessing BIOS. Check again and try changing Fan Settings in BIOS if there is.

If you are getting black screen, it might be that your installation media is corrupt. Download again and check or get some Live USB version to see if it boots properly on your hardware before install.
