C855-13D satellite after 5 minutes, my screen becomes dim

Can someone help me please?
I use a laptop Toshiba Satellite C855-13D with 64-bit Windows 7.

After 5 minutes, my screen becomes dim unless I move the mouse.
In order to disable this I need to go into the Advanced mode in eco service department.

But on my laptop there is no Advanced tab. I've got report and help settings.
No advanced. I went on YouTube and saw the Advanced tab there.

So why missing on my laptop and how can I get it back?

Hi demoome

I think that the ECO profile has been selected in Win 7 power Managemnt.

You can change it easily.
Go to control panel (change the icon display, small or large)-> power management
Here you will find plans of different powers.

Choose the one you want to use: for example the balance.
Now, click on change Plan settings

Now, you can find the option called the brightness
Here, you can assign the value of the battery and AC adapter mode.
Finally, apply the changes.
All that s

    Hey everybody.

    Just bought a Satellite Pro 870-17 X and for some reason any the screen keeps going black. The laptop actually happens in mode "sleep" or similar.

    The most obvious thing would be the settings, but after having adjusted the he used to always last more than 2 minutes (timed to check).

    Really confused with this ideas would be much appreciated.

    Thanks in advance... :-)

    There you can find the settings on the brightness, turn off the display and put the computer to sleep.
    Play with these settings.

  • Satellite X 200-screen becomes dim every few minutes for about 3 seconds

    Hi all

    The screen on my X 200 will dim [IE half brightness] during a few seconds every couple of minutes, as if she had just the food sector that is disconnected and the battery was going.

    After about 2-3 seconds, he returned to full brightness [it happened two times while I'm typing this message] - very annoying.

    It happened for awhile when I had Vista Ultimate installed [started about 6 months after purchase], then seems to stop to do for awhile.

    Then I upgraded to Win7 Ultimate about 4 months ago. Everything was ok until this week, and it's happening again now.

    Any thoughts?

    See you soon

    It is a really strange question. This dim option is available under Win7, but not under Vista.
    You have different levels of brightness for each power plan?
    You always use the same power plan when your laptop is running on battery and power running?

  • Judgment of A60 Pro satellite after 15 minutes after the update of the BIOS

    Now, there is no keep turn off after 15-20 minutes.

    I upgraded the memory to 1 GB, but I tried the old memory and it's always the same.
    As with the battery or the power supply.

    Is there a way I can get the old firmware?

    See you soon

    Steve

    I think there is no way to recover your older version of BIOS that you can not download it. Is the only option that you have, take your laptop to ASP and let them Downgrader your BIOS.

    Furthermore, you have improved your memory before or after upgrading the BIOS?

  • Photosmart HP 2550 does not respond after 15 minutes of inactivity

    Hello

    I have a printer HP Photosmart 5520 and for the past week or so he started to crash after 15 minutes is powered by electricity (simultaneously 'Power Saving Mode' is set to on).

    The printer is connected to my router MikroTik RB2011 and has a static IP address, but I don't think that this has to do any that the printer is unresponsive to any physical buttons as mentioned below.

    After 15 minutes, the printer becomes insensitive in that:

    • The LCD still displays the default page, but it is totally immune to any key.
    • The power button does nothing when pressed momentarily or detained for about 10 seconds.
    • I can't access the interface web or ping the printer.

    I tried to set the printer to the factory settings via the touch screen menu, however still this problem persists and has rendered printer useless after 15 minutes, unless I can physically feed cycle it.

    What can I do about it?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all, to power the pritner of cycle and make sure you have the latest installed formware:

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03244655

    The printer is connected wireless please ensure that it is located near your router, but not too close (2-3 meters away would be an ideal distance and check if this may cuase of difference.)

    Hello

    Believe me; It's not easy to say exactly why the BSOD appears.
    It usually happens because of a malfunction or severe software hardware fault.
    Have you used the operating system of the image of Toshiba?
    Message it says something about sysaudio.sys.
    This file is a system audio WDM filter processes and it s a part of the Windows operating system. It controls the material such as the printer or the graphics card at a lower level.

    Note: The virus uses these files as a camouflage. You should always use an anti virus application.

    In addition, you suggested that the laptop stops after 5 min.
    Well, this looks like an overheating problem. How did you use the laptop? You know that free space around the laptop is very important due to the circulation of air. Fans should also be free.

    I you use Notepad in the right position and it happen, so I recommend asking for help Toshiba service partner. They should check the laptop.
