Black screen on the Satellite A350-122 using Linux Ubuntu

Hi all

I have a couple of months it has installed Ubuntu 9.04 (which completely replaces Windows XP) on my Toshiba A350-122 and this worked perfectly, until a recent day.

One day, after having locked the computer, when I came back the screen was very dark and nothing was visible, except with the help of a powerful light behind. Reboot and remove the battery change nothing.

* This is the case at the beginning of the boot, and even the Toshiba logo is not visible.
* However, the system starts normally, and I can see in the darkness of my login prompt.
* I can also select the BIOS Setup, but the screen is too dark.
* I have no display on an external device.
* It was not held after an update of the system.

The first time it happened, I got it repaired.
The guy has managed to make the display work and then restored Windows XP.
They said: ' + Linux is responsible for + "... we cannot do anything more!

I reinstalled Ubuntu, and it happened again the next day... :-(

* My questions are :*
# If it is software issue, don't you think it should work in installation mode?
# Is it possible to reset the display or video card?
# How can I find out the type of video and the reference (don't forget: my screen is black)?
# Someone has an idea to advance?

Thanks for your help

Hello

I think it's certainly a Linux software problem because the laptop work correctly using Win XP or Vista preinstalled Toshiba I m right?

The fact is that Linux is not supported by Toshiba:(et vous ne trouverez pas tous les pilotes compatibles sur la page de Toshiba)
So you have to pick up on some pages of party 3 drivers needed

On the black screen issue, I think you should check if you're used to that a graphics driver right maybe an update will help.

  • Why some WIn 8.1 drivers do not work on the Satellite A350-122?

    Hello
    first of all I want you to forgive my broken English (it is not my native language)

    On my old (but very good), I installed Windows 8.1 * Satallite A350-122 PSAL6E-02300SFR * and I was really satisfied until I tried to install my drivers downloaded from the Toshiba support center. No one made for Windows 8.1 x 64 but some might finally be installed but others like the drivers of webcam and mouse; so I searched the internet but it seems that they (Toshiba) has no thought someone may someday install this OS on this outbreak of the computer.

    So my question is: can someone help me with this? I would be very gratefull.

    Thank you

    This old book of Vista is not supported for Win8 Toshiba didn't offer not any driver, tool or utility to it. Generally the driver webcam no longer exists and it does not Win8 Toshiba.
    Driver webcam is part of the Win8 system.
    >... it looks that they (Toshiba) has no thought someone may someday install this OS on this outbreak of the computer.
    Toshiba does not offer support for all models of laptops, especially the models offered a long time ago.
    I have the same model and use it with Win7 32 bit. It is fully supported and works perfectly.
    I really don't understand why do you not use Win8 on this old piece of hardware.

    My advice to you is to use Win7 on it.

  • Black screen on the Satellite A100-712, after Bios Update

    I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and I did a bios upgrade, everything was fine in windows and restart the laptop got it is pasted on the toshiba black screen that appears when you turn on the lapto.

    Any suggestions please, I would be very grateful

    It doesn't sound good. I did the BIOS update on two laptops A100 and everything was OK. Sorry, but I think that you will not be able to do anything alone. I recommend you contact the service authorized in your country as soon as possible.

  • Turning to black screen after the value time/RAM used FireFox

    Hello

    My question is for the graphics. It lasts for several months now and he came to a point where it starts eating away at me.

    I installed recently (within 6 months) 16 GB of RAM and a new extra GPU. I upgraded to an ATI Radeon HD 5750 to a Gigabyte Radeon R9 x 270. I never had this problem with my 5750 card, so that initially led me to believe it was a card problem, until I discovered that my problem seems to be ONLY with FireFox.

    Now to the question: arriving to 2.8 GB + of memory used (according to Task Manager), FireFox flashes for a brief moment and to scroll the screen or between tabs, becomes completely black, forcing me to re - load the browser. Now the first question of the use of FireFox, so initially, amount of RAM is crazy, and I tried to lower the settings by disabling extensions, all sorts of things and the fulfillment of the only thing that is extend the time before flash made his boring appearance.

    The screen flashes problem seems to be quite something else. I tried to upgrade to the latest version of FireFox, run a new installation of FireFox, update my graphic drivers their latest versions, just about everything I can think of, and nothing seems to fix. What seems to be the problem here? I would be very happy all feedback and better understand how I can solve this problem outside hard using a different web browser.

    Hardware specifications:
    Motherboard ASUS P6X58D
    Intel Core i7 930 @2. 8 GHz processor
    22 GB of total RAM (3 branches of 2 and 2 strips of 8)
    Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 x GPU
    Brand/model unknown 850W of power (honestly, I'm just too lazy to remove the top of my tower which is packed in a locked drawer to figure out the make and model at display time)

    Running FireFox in safe mode seems to have solved or at least slow the excessive RAM issue however FireFox has now terrible performance much earlier. Adding constantly freezes and scripts constantly crashing, it would seem that addons and extensions that I ran helped to solve these issues.

    What I do now is to reload firefox standard and turn my extensions one by one to see which seems to be the cause of most of the points in the use of the ram.

    AdBlock Plus seems to so far be keep stable FireFox without problem. Going to turn in my next toolbar. Will edit this post more information after having observed the behavior of FireFox.

    Edit: The reason to believe it's my toolbar like with AdBlock plus, FireFox was still around or less 1 GB to use physical RAM. After the reactivation of my toolbar, I jumped up to 2 GB. Contact the developer of the toolbar soon.

  • Satellite X 205-SLi3 - black screen with the mobile mouse at startup

    I have a computer laptop X 205 - Sli 3 satellite, which is a little more than a month and running windows Vista. (let me know if the exact specifications make a difference)

    Yesterday morning my laptop was working fine, I arrested him at home because I need to take to work with me to get some files there. However, when I tried to turn it back on all I got was a black screen with cursor mouse mobile white dead center. I saw other posts with similar problems, but no solutions.

    Loads everything up as normal at the beginning: I get the Toshiba load screen (this allows me to make changes to the boot from there with F2, F8, F12 or, but none seems to have no effect) and I get the little green loading bar of Microsoft just before the screen blinks a few times and then turns black except for the white mouse. The touchpad, Capslock and scroll lock keys * are * admissible, but the function keys and Ctrl + Alt + Delete to do * not * work. There is no way to stop the laptop at this point without maintaining the power button.

    I tried to start in safe mode, safe mode with networking, safe mode with command prompt, only to get exactly the same result after Windows loading bar. (only a lower resolution on this beautiful Virgin high-def screen mouse cursor). I activated the boot record, nothing, I tried to start with the "last known good configuration", nothing.

    I tried windows repair options: repair system, System Restore (it * was * a windows update just before restore point in my laptop screwed up and I m wondering if that has something to do with it because it was the first time the computer was turned off since the auto update installed... but get an older restore point does not help) , as well as the windows memory diagnostic tool. Everything is displayed normally but still black screen after the loading bar Microsoft...

    I also tried the debug mode, and directory services restore mode just for the heck of it - each time the black screen of death.

    I even put in the Toshiba recovery disc and put my laptop to boot from the CD rather than the HD (it gives me the same options by pressing F8 and go to repair are starting only I didn't have to put my admin password)

    The only thing I can think that I n t done is format my whole hard drive, I know that this is not always a solution, and I prefer to keep all my school and work files if possible. Fortunately I am able to get into the command prompt BACK and some of the most important things am copy on a USB key, but I'll still probably lose all my programs and larger files.

    Someone had a similar problem?
    If so, what was the solution?
    I would call all technical support, but I won't have time until after the new year to spend on the phone and I have a feeling that their solution will be to format and use the recovery disc.

    Man, such an expensive machine and then all this work of wouldn because of some software sh... So, if you have backed up your most important files, then, I would _recommend_ you to recover your machine. Won´t solve you anything just trying to find the error, believe me, you'll go nuts.

    Just put the recovery in the drive and start the process of "delete-all-my-programs-but-protect-my-nerves-and-make-everything-OK".

  • Satellite A350-122 - how to install the second HARD drive?

    Hello

    I'm a french owner of an A350-122 (serial no: 39169719K)

    In the french of the manual user, page 1-5, it is written that it is possible to insert another disc hard, and on page 2-6, the rear of the A350-122 view shows a second branch on the left for a second hard drive.

    So, I bought an SSD Intel X 25-M to put in the second location. I opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata, no power connector connector, only a location empty.

    So, what's the problem with this Satellite A350-122?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above. Not all Satellite A350 models support a second HDD. The point is that laptops are country specific products and this feature is not available everywhere. In addition, all models A350 by using the same notebook case in order to have a crack but no connector.

    In any case, you can use t a second HDD. :(

  • After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)

  • Re: Satellite A100-011 does not start, a black screen at the beginning

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-011, which is almost 5-6 years. It suddenly started to behave abnormal.

    First of all, I started to get a 1-2 sec black screen when he was running. The screen was on and off occasionally.

    After a few days, I could not started upward from my windows xp sp3 operating system. I tried to start in safe mode with networking to see if I had a few spy, virus or something. I ran avast, hijact, ad-aware and some more, but not found anything.

    Later, I tried to format my laptop with a xp professional, but this time I can't see any reflection that passes more fun running and a black screen. I just got a black screen at the beginning and it does not start.

    I plugged on a television screen, and here I have started. I have re-installed all the drivers and formatted, but all I get is a black screen on my laptop at the beginning.

    What should I do now? Do you think I have a problem with my screen of HW or a driver problem with nvidia geforce go 7600? Maybe I'm missing something?

    Thanks in advance for all replies.

    If you can see the picture on the TV there are a few s laptop display problem. Y at - it some problem connection or display itself.

    You want to fix it yourself? You can disassemble the laptop?
    I mean if you have any experience with this kind of things that you should seek professional help.

  • Satellite A105-S4114 - black screen, maybe the heating problem?

    Hey all

    I'm new to the Board and I really hope that someone can help me with my computer problems.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4114. In the last week or so, it started to get a black screen. If I m in the middle of watching a video, the sound would just go to a repetitive tone (very annoying sound) and the screen freezes completely.

    He sometimes goes to a black screen. The screen is not black as if the CPU is off but it's dark and nothing is displayed. This occurs when the computer has been for a little. I have had it over 2 hours now, and if this problem persists, it will happen more frequently. I've updated all the software and windows xp. Some people tell me that my motherboard is dying and I can't do anything, but some people say maybe it's an overheating problem.

    The vent on the left hand does not always give off light, but the laptop gets hot enough. Is it possible that my fan is dying? In the case of this "black screen", the computer is not power down and for this reason, I ve people had told me that he is not an overheating problem.

    Any ideas?

    Help, please. I sprayed the CPU down to the dust, and it has gotten a little better. I hold hope that I don't need to buy a replacement right away. I've had this for about 3 years.

    Thank you, Danny.

    Hey mate,

    I think that for the moment no one can really say what the reason, but I also think it might be an overheating problem and you should start cleaning your laptop first. The point is that if the laptop is overheated (e. g. graphics card), you might get a black screen, freezes or your laptop stops immediately. So if please try to clean and follow these instructions: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

    Of course it could also be a motherboard problem but the laptop cleaning is cheaper and quicker ;)

    If it doesn t work you can access a service provider authorized professional assistance.

  • Satellite M70 - black screen after the installation of recovery

    So far, what I did is put in the Recovery DVD - ROM product. Then when my computer restarts I was invited to restore my computer failing and said. After that he went through this process, that he told me to remove the disc that I did. Now he only get a black screen after the Toshiba screen that gives me options f2 for Setup and f12 for options.

    I don't know what to do now to make my laptop works again. Help, please.

    Hi Zach_1,

    Have you tried to launch the installation of recovery again? Maybe that something was wrong during the first installation, it might have arrived
    Then retry the recovery facility and see what happens.

    If it doesn't work you should try a normal Microsoft disk so determine if the problem is related to hardware or recovery disk.

  • iPhone 7 more stuck on black screen with the spinning wheel

    How can I fix it? I tried to reset, go into DFU mode, recover from iTunes. Nothing works. I can't use iTunes because he wants me to grant access from my iPhone is not responding. DFU mode doesn't work, the screen does not any combination of seconds I hold down the buttons to. This has happened more than an hour. Should I just wait for the battery to die? Please note that I do not live in the United States or the U.K. or anywhere with an Apple Store, I can take it to.

    Thank you

    Hello! I think that I may have a solution to our problem of the black screen with the circle of rotation.

    I came across this post today because my iPhone all nine 7 (which I've upgraded to the latest ios) also got stuck on a black screen with the circle of rotation. I tried to update some of my apps, when suddenly the screen froze. I clicked once on the home button and the screen become black with the subsequent appearance of the circle of rotation.

    I have tried everything - simultaneously press the home button and power (does not work). connected to itunes to do a restore (it won't let me not because my "find my iPhone" was turned on - but I could not turn off because my phone was insensitive).

    In any case, a very useful Mr. Damon (Senior Advisor to Apple) helped me via chat to solve the problem.

    Here's what I did:

    1. make sure that your iPhone is disconnected from the socket or the computer.

    2. hold the POWER button and the VOLUME DOWN button at the same TIME. If it works, the screen should turn off almost immediately.

    3. connect your iPhone to the computer. (when I have connected to the computer, my iPhone automatically on and was ready to be reused).

    The steps below are for those whose iPhones did not turn with the above steps. The following steps are designed to allow you to disable remote your 'find my iPhone', so you can do a manual restore from iTunes.

    4. go to www.icloud.com.

    5. click on Find iPhone

    6. given that the phone is turned off already, he won't be able to find it. On the top bar, click DEVICES.

    7. click on your iPhone.

    8. click on "delete account".

    9. go into your itunes and do a restore.

    I did have to do steps 4 to 9 more, because as I said, my iPhone automatically activated after step 3.

    This really worked for me. I hope this works for everyone else too! Have a great day!

    Hello

    As far as I know the Satellite Pro A100 comes with two screens:
    large display 15.4 TFT color display "(1280 x 800)
    large display CSVI 15.4 TFT color display "(1280 x 800)

    For example the satellite A100-602 uses a wide display 15.4 TFT color screen "(1280 x 800)."
    But uses Equium A100-195 15.4 "(1280 x 800) wide angle of view CSVI TFT color display."

    Hello

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    Try to use the following method to see if you can install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.
