Black screen on Sat Pro A10

Hello

I have a Sat Pro A10.

My problem is that my screen is so dark, that I can't see the content (maybe it's the backlight?). However when the computer starts, I can see the login screen of Toshiba fine. I also have the image if normal poster if I close the lid, and then open it. However the screen will stay only normal for a few seconds.

Anyone have any ideas what is wrong here? Why does the screen work at boot and then deceive you? Is this a hardware or a software problem?

Any help would be great.

Hi Alex,

It sounds like a problem with your inverter FL. You will need to take your laptop to a partner of Service allowed for it to be repaired or replaced.

Kind regards

  • Windows XP system is unstable and slow - Sat Pro A10

    Do not know if I have a Windows or a HDD problem :/

    Systems have become unstable a few days ago and started to slow down. Finally started getting delayed Windows disk write errors.

    Current situation is that Web pages with javascript on them don't work (windowsupdate, ms webmail sites), and some local programs seem not to launch (information system).

    Tried the upgrade of IE. I tried MS supports javascript trobleshooting. Run the check disk and defrag of many times.

    Think to take (Sat Pro A10) in a repair shop, but not 100% convinced that it's the hard drive that I can't find anything that verifies records that suggests a problem :(

    Any help?

    Hello

    Just a little tip: one day, when you have time, you can search for HDD Regenerator tools on the net. With this tool, you can check if the HARD drive is OK. It is always good to know that the disc has no bad sector HARD and because of this cause, to slow down the pace of operational or OS even total crash.

  • Re: Sat Pro A10 and Sat 10 - the difference - need new keyboard

    Hey all!

    New ID as I am garbage to remember the passwords/log on emails...

    I have a Satellite Pro A10, which needs a new keyboard - there's loads are circulating on ebay for Satellite A10 - but not the Pro - now I'm almost 100%, it'll be the same keyboard - right? the 'Pro' ILO denounces just usually extras bits and things qhizzy-, but basically they are the same hardware platform slot - i.e. the same keyboard between the A10 Sat and Sat Pro A10

    Anyone?

    : D thank you in advance for letting me sleep at night!

    I agree with you. There is not much difference, and the construction of the laptop is the same.
    I'm 100% sure that the keyboard is the same.

  • Sat Pro A10: 'IDE #0 Error' on two laptops

    Hello

    Appreciate any input from anyone in case I did something really stupid or am incredibly unlucky.

    A Pro A10 Sat (out of warranty) looked like an imminent drive failure, then I cloned the drive and tried to share more, but got the error IDE #0 at startup. As I have two of these laptops, I traded in my second computer laptop to see if it was a disk error, but got the same error on the first laptop.

    On return the drive to the second laptop. She now also fails with the same error! The two laptops are no disk in the BIOS and nothing spinning upwards at the start. However, both connect to desktop fine, if the drives are OK.

    I don't see anyway to change the CMOS settings in case that's the problem with the new player or have I managed to damage the two IDE connectors in 5 minutes.

    Ideas or widely accepted views!

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you tried putting the Hd drive in BIOS?
    If BIOS don't recognize try it HDD to manually set and save the settings in the BIOS
    If it is not possible, so I guess that it s something wrong with connectors or the HARD drive is not well positioned in the Bay.
    But it is also possible that the two HARD drive have a malfunction.

    Good bye

  • Restore media for a Sat Pro A10

    Hi, I lost my press kit for my Sat Pro but unable to download the drivers from the support site... everytime I try I just get a message saying that the file is not found. Can I download an ISO of the restore media, or someone can look at the download page for this laptop.

    Hello

    First of all, you can not download an ISO of the Toshiba Recovery CD image file!
    You can buy the CD of restoration but not download.

    If you wish, you can contact the ASP in your country and ask for this CD. It s not expensive.

    Regarding you driver problem;

    Well. I have checked the page of European disc of Toshiba and was able to download drivers for Satellite Pro A10.
    So I know exactly why you can't download the drivers but there is nothing wrong with the page.

  • How to activate the resolutions of wide screen on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I looked through various positions through the forums, but have not found how to activate the wide screen on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 resolutions.
    The 2 following wires offer partial answers:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19677

    The solution in the 2nd post won't work because the A10 has an Intel graphics card, not a Nvidia. He suggested also, modify the INF of the graphics driver, but to extract the driver (SA10B2DP.exe) file includes an installer, but no INF.

    Just look to see if anyone has any advice on how to activate the resolutions such as 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050.

    Thank you

    Hello

    you mean on the external screen, Don t you? If you have an intel chipset graphic why Don t you download the drivers from the website of intel.
    Maybe it offers a resolution of the external display.

    I don't know if the res external can be set to widescreen on this chipset as the drivers are somewhat limited...
    Can you describe what monitor you have and how you connect it to your machine. (d-sub or DVI)?

    Would appreciate some reactions :)

  • Black screen on Satellite Pro C870-1CJ

    Good night

    I have a portable Satellite PRO 1CJ C870. A few days ago I got a blue screen showing display problems and since then, the laptop screen is black and there is no picture shown in it. I am entered mode secure and tried to connect it to a VGA monitor with success.
    As I guess it was a problem with the graphics card then in the blue screen message, he made atikmgpag.sys that I tried to install the latest version of the graphics driver t but no news on the laptop screen.
    I also tried Toshiba Tempro, which has not had the success also. I have tried several things without result.

    Can anyone help me to solve the problem? I'm a bit desperate.

    Thank you

    Gabriel

    As far as I know your laptop Satellite Pro C870-1CJ was equipped with two graphics cards:

    1 - internal Intel Graphics HD 4000, which is part of the Intel CPU
    2 external ATI Radeon HD M 7610

    The error that contains information about the atikmgpag.sys file seems to be related to the ATI graphics card driver.

    I'm not sure, but it might be possible that the graphics chip from ATI external began to malfunction.

    Anyway, if possible, try to retrieve the laptop as mentioned by Liam
    If this is not possible, the material may be affected and it could be costly to repair.

  • Error blue screen on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I try to help my in-laws with their SPA10 Pro Satellite. I had set this up for them a few months ago and it was working fine.
    Now it reboots about two seconds after the "use last good configuration ' screen etc, gets to the screen again then restarts immediately to infinity, never a break on error message for long enough to see what he says.
    I managed to boot from the Windows XP home and got disc with respect to the repair or continue with the installation screen. When I asked the computer don't either TI stuck on blue screen almost immediately. The error message is
    STOP: 0X000000C5 (0X00000002, 0X00000001, 0X00000000, 0X8082B98B)

    This is beyond my skill level, someone can help?
    Thank you

    Hello

    It is not easy to tell what the problem is here and what your in-laws have made with this device. Try to start the machine in safe mode by pressing F8 at the beginning upward. What unit starts check a bit if some strange software is installed.

    If there is no important data, I advise you to install the new OS. On this way, you will be sure that it is not because of software. If the problem persists then is the question is more complicated and there may be a hardware failure.

    At the moment I can't tell you more. Try to make the clean OS install and post again on the results.

    I had to reinstall Win XP Home - which went well, however - now there is no sound and it says no audio device is installed. I tried to install the audio drivers on the Toshiba CD but they go as far as unpacking but then say "not installed" and Setup stops.

    I went to www. support. Toshiba.com and follow the menu to identify which drivers to download? but there are several possibilities for the
    Model A - 10 and I am not sure I have listed below models have.
    A10-S100, A10-S1001, A10-S127, A10-S128, A10-S129, A10-S1291, A10-S167, A10-S169, A10-S1691, A10 S177, A10-S178.

    What you mean? On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find only one series Satellite Pro A10.

    There is a driver of sound for a portable Pro A10. This is a version of audio driver Analog Devices 5.12.01.3542.

  • IDE #0 error on Satellite Pro A10

    We have a Sat Pro A10, which displays the following error at startup; IDE #0 error.
    The bios does not appear a hard drive.
    Have you tried a new hard drive, the same error

    Hello

    This error is certainly due to the HARD drive. If there is no success with the new HARD drive should be problem with contacts or HARD disk on the motherboard controller.

    Please contact your dealer or the Toshiba ASP. Really, I don't think you can do anything alone.

  • Satellite Pro A10 stops after 15 minutes of internet games

    What can do what
    [email protected]

    Hello

    I think overheating is the problem. First of all, you can try is to clean the machine properly. I guess the CPU and graphics card works very intensive and produce a lot of heat. If the equipment cannot be cooled properly the laptop stops suddenly.

    Clean it up.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know that the Sat Pro A10 has been delivered with 3 different drives - 20 GB, 30 GB, 40 GB.
    In my opinion the 40 GB is a maximum size of HARD drive support. It is possible that the BIOS could not acknowledge more large drives.
