Black screen turn on my Satellite C series

Hi all

my laptop is around the age of 10 months. Recently, the screen seems off. Actually, what happens is that it becomes so weak, I don't see anything.

I connected to an external monitor and it displays the screen, so I guess there is no problem with the graphics card.

Is there something wrong with the inverter or backlight? The odd time that I tilt the screen of the laptop upwards or downwards, the screen will return or the odd time the screen will work again (out of the blue), but eventually fades to black again.

Any help or pointers is appreciated, thanks.

Yes, I think that there is a problem with FL inverter or the display.
But it depends on laptop model that you have purchased.
Either you have a laptop with screen backlight or without backlight. In this case, the backlight is controlled by inverter of FL.

From my point of few in both cases, replace the defective part in order to solve this problem.

The laptop is 10 months old and so the warranty should still be valid.
Don t try to solve this problem from your own hand, but get in touch of service provider authorized in your country for repair under warranty conditions.

  • Satellite A-C55-1N1 black screen turned on

    I've had my laptop for 7 months, I had a lot of problems with it from the beginning.
    It has always run slow and started to disconnect internet without no reason.

    A few days ago, she refused to connect to the Internet at all and now when I turn it on I just get a black screen.

    No beeps or logos just a black screen. It turns on OK, and I tried to turn it on so that hip and with just the battery running.

    It is still under warranty, but I wonder if anyone has any suggestions. I am really disappointed that my last Satellite has been brilliant for years, had no problem.

    You are able to access the BIOS?
    To access the BIOS press the F2 button power button.

    In this case isn t possible try this:
    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery.
    Now hold down the power button / stop along 30 sec.
    After that, connect the AC adapter and the battery and press the power button once to turn on the portable computer.

    Is this possible? Your comments would be appreciated

  • Satellite L500 - flicker and black screen turns green

    Toshiba Satellite L500-screen color problem; White and black green turn turn pink. When the laptop is turned on after a while, the screen back to normal, but just for a second. Then he turns his back to the Green and Pink for black and white color again. The display also flashes.

    Anyone, please help me.

    Hello

    Theoretically the two parties may be affected: Notebok display or graphic card itself.

    Way simpler to check that connects to an external monitor. If the external monitor is ok, the graphics card is affected. Otherwise, the screen of the laptop must be exchanged.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?

  • Black screen after login on Satellite L350-20 q (normal mode)

    My Satellite L350-20 q running Vista Basic.
    After the connection, which is normal, I'm going to the arrow then turning to a permanent black screen when I start in normal mode.
    In safe mode, I have a normal behavior and I can work. No malware present a Spybot report. But my Avast antivirus is doesn't seem to work in safe mode.
    Do you have an idea about this problem?

    A colleague advised me to update my graphics driver which is currently version 06/12/2008 Intel Corporation 7.15.10.I502 for Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family. What is the URL and the name of the file to download the latest driver?

    Post edited by: normal mode of nigelle added to the title.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. I don't know since when you have this strange problem but if possible, try to roll back the OS to an earlier time until she starts to happen. Use the System Restore tool to do this.

    I don't know what is the seriousness of this problem may be but and if the display driver installation can help. To be honest I don't think. My advice to you is to back up all your important data and install OS again using recovery image installation. After doing this you will have factory again and everything will be OK.

    By the way: I think that this old notebook is supported for Win7. A long time ago I ve installed Win7 32 bit on L300 and there HERE perfectly. Much better than the original Vista OS.

  • BSOD - black screen of death to Satellite P20 552

    Hello

    I have this laptop since 2005.

    Today, after put the laptop to sleep, I picked up, and then after the system restored Windows, the screen started going black and back to normal, once again, then I noticed some artifacts on the screen, then black again, then normal, then artifacts, etc. This continued for about 2 minutes, after which I delivered to zero by pressing and holding down the power button.

    When I turned on the laptop again, I got the dreaded BSOD, black version. Symptoms:

    -Black screen (blue BSOD)
    -No logo TOSHIBA
    -No test POST
    -No visible inscription on the screen
    -No HARD drive activity (HDD seems it does not work)
    -CDROM seems to work, but cannot start with the XP CD or Bootmed Rescue CD. CD ROM glad to read the disc and then idling.

    Tried so far:

    1. with the help of the P20-552 on my Toshiba Satellite 1950 801 PSU. Works.
    2 begin the Satellite P20 552 of the battery of the device. Power supply is removed. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
    3. remove the battery and start satellite P20 552, with its own power supply. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
    4 remove the battery and start Satellite P20 552 upward with a PSU of Toshiba Satellite 1950 801. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
    5. remove all devices, the baterry and CDROM drive and hold down the power button / stop for 1 minute, then try to start. Same results. (BSOD etc.).
    6. start-up of exploitation and hold (key insert of your choice here). Same results.

    I am an advanced PC user. I own 3 different PC, 2 Toshiba laptops and a desktop PC with a Gigabyte MOBO and processor Intel QX 9650 (Extreme Yorkfield) that I assembled from scratch. My Toshiba Satellite 1950 801 worked tirelessly and flawlessly for, uh, almost ten years now.

    It seems to me that this issue is a matter of 'sudden death' MOBO. I thought to open the laptop and remove the CMOS battery, because how Satellite P20 552 lacks a "hard reset" button

    What do you think guys? Some tips before you apply the Russian system on the laptop P20-552?

    Thanks in advance.

    Leon

    Hello

    I don t think that remove the CMOS battery would be useful in this case
    You could remove one of the memory modules and could test each module in each of the slots.
    This could be useful in case one of these modules or the slots would be defective.

    You said that there is no Toshiba start screen and no message (power on self-test) perceptible property, this means that a motherboard or a part on the motherboard could be defective, but the black screen with artifacts may be the result of a GPU malfunction.

    What do you think?

  • Black screen "go" on my Satellite 1110

    My satellite 1110 has been, during these last weeks, losing the screen (as if I closed the cover) I then just press the small black button close light food and whatnot and it comes back to life. It's driving me crazy as it does sometimes permanently.
    Ideas please

    Hello

    The laptop supports modes standby mode and Hibernate mode. If the settings are set to stand-by after lid closing the laptop goes to sleep and the screen turns off.
    Please check the power of Eve and closing the cover option settings.

  • Black screen on boot - Toshiba Satellite M70

    Hi all

    I have Toshiba Satellite M70, I need help, and I will describe my problem:

    -A few days my screen went black all of a sudden, I don't know how do I was away from the laptop.
    -Until yesterday, when I start my laptop, it gives me the black screen all the time but when I put to sleep by closing the laptop for a few seconds and then I click the button, my screen starts showing very well until my next restart and I do it again (I usually keep my laptop running almost 18 hours) which means that there is a lot of time on my next boot)
    -But today I started too many times, it gives me the black screen and the sleep mode no longer works. But several times today when I tried to start, the display shows the Toshiba screen for only 1 second then black alley again.

    PS You can see almost threw the black screen just if there is a Sun facing the laptop.

    Thank you in advance,
    Best regards
    Mr. Mher Krikorian

    > You can see almost threw the black screen just if there is a Sun facing the laptop
    This is very useful information
    I think that the problem is related to the FL inverter
    FL-converter is a small part that controls the backlight of the display.
    If this part starts to malfunction so you would see everything as behind a thick fog

    In my view the FL inverter must be checked and replaced if necessary
    This, to get in touch with a local service technician

  • Black Screen on Login on Satellite A200 on Vista

    My new boots OK Satellite and takes me to the fine login screen. When I choose to connect, I get a normal screen as if it's going through my home page, and then after a few seconds the screen goes black, with just the showing white arrow cursor.

    To get out of this I go , move the user to another user and repeat back to me as a user. Then it works OK but it will quickly thanks to a black screen when I change new user.

    Clues as to what is happening and how to fix it?

    Have you installed and configured the Toshiba picture yourself?

    This is a very rare issue because there should be only one user configured (you).
    I think that you need to insert the recovery CD and should recover the laptop to check if the same thing happens on the new OS installed.

    Best regards

  • Black screen randomly on the Satellite A200-10 x

    Hi, recently my laptop started giving me a black screen for like once a day. Now, the past 2 days its been quite... 4 times this morning! The symptoms are: black screen + DVD drive LED lights up and stays like that. So, I stop it manually.
    Sometimes he does once again as soon as I load Vista.

    There is no specific request which is the cause as it happened all through my emails. I have updated the BIOS VGA drivers and too.

    I don't think that it's an overheating problem because he never gave me problems before, and compared to other laptops, it becomes not that hot.

    It is still under warranty, but it is so random, I just hope that the technician will say just that its nothing. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Have you tried an external monitor to your laptop computer? If the external monitor works properly I think that there is something wrong with your internal LCD. Maybe it's s inverter a FL issue because this part control the backlight of the LCD screen.

    In the worst case, there is something wrong with the motherboard or graphics card but an ASP is able to help you. The laptop technicians can check your laptop and share the material if it of necessary.

  • Black screen when starting my Satellite C

    When I turn on my laptop it shows the usual Toshiba screen with the option of choosing F2 or F12, (none of them helped) the next screen is all black with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. Nothing else happens after that. I let (hoping it'll work) but just becomes market and repeats the process.

    Any help will be really appreciated helpline Toshiba are now very usefully closed until Monday when I'm at work!

    Thank you

    I got a cursor blinking in the upper left also, and in my case, the HARD drive was dead.
    After replacing HARD drive, I was able to install the new OS and can start the operating system properly.

    Must check if the HARD drive is ok.

  • Black screen on startup on Satellite A300D

    Hi all

    first of all to say that I searched through this forum and found several ppl with similar problems and the solution was to bring their laptops to the service.
    However precisely to the problem; It happened just after a freeze any.

    I tried to boot up the laptop and all the lights were on, drive hard work for 5-10 sec, dvd - rom answer and also when I plugged/unplugged, the witness replied that the only thing is that I get nothing on my screen and nothing is loading.

    I guess the hard drive stops working.
    I tried to remove the battery and power cord and I left like that for 30 min / 1 hour, even overnight..., replaced the ram and still nothing.
    Of course I'll do it to an authorized service, but it is not one in my city so I'll be happy if someone found the solution to this problem

    10 x to everyone in advance.

    OK, sorry I forgot. The model is Satellite A300D

    Hello!

    When you have removed the battery cable and the power for 1 hour or more and then is the same, it s a hardware problem.
    I think that it of really the best to go to an ASP. They can check your laptop and share the material, because I think it's a problem with the motherboard.

    You can also send the laptop to an ASP if isn t one in your city.

    But here, you can search for s ASP if you didn t do this:
