Equium A210-1AS screen goes suddenly blank

Hello

I got my Equium for about 6 months and from time to time so that I use the screen goes suddenly blank.
It may be while it is plugged in or during the use of the battery. It doesn't seem to be a special moment happen.

Blue light 'on' poster still and the computer sounds like it's still on, but no matter what happens, the screen does not return to life.
I tried waitng for half an hour, in the case where it is overheated, but then really cooled off, the light on but shows nothing else.

I have to manually turn off the coast, and always restarts immediately, she said there was a problem, etc...
Is this normal? I'm worried about losing files etc as it is not shut down cleanly.

Sorry I'm not very technical so hopefully I'm supposed to someone.

Thanks in advance!

Hello guys

Have you tried with BIOS and update the display driver?
As much as I know these questions are often set with combination of BIOS and driver update.

  • T41 screen goes suddenly blank - possible overheating?

    Having an intermittent problem with my T41 and I was wondering if anyone has an idea as to the cause.

    Most of the time, I use it in a docking station. Sometimes, after I used it for a while, the screen suddenly becomes empty. There are hard disk activity, as the light continues to blink, but the screen remains blank, no matter what I do. The only way out is to do a hard reboot via the button power and, when I turn it back on again, the screen comes back, but usually some of the desktop icons have changed places. Once, the screen resolution has also been reduced to 800 x 600, and I had to reset to 1024 x 768.

    I noticed recently that when he does that little thing of closing screen, the fan doesn't seem to work, and if I delete the computer from the docking station, it seems a little warm down. Then when I restart the computer, the fan comes immediately and seems to be pushing a lot of heat on the vent on the side.

    If anyone knows if there is a problem of overheating caused by the fan does not kick when it should or could there be another cause? One thing that confused me, it's that, according to the fault of Windows reporting system, it says it's a fault of video driver and I should update the driver. So can someone tell me what the problem really is?

    Edit:

    I was able to find one of the manuals in PDF format, and it seems that the computer is suddenly in hibernation due to overheating of the CPU. Unfortunately, that's all it says and does not give advice on how to solve the problem. Does this sound like a correct diagnosis?

    A "video driver" fault on these machines is usually a sign of a GPU unsoldered, which is an extremely common problem on T4x units.

    Install the ThinkPad fan control to monitor the time, but I think you're in for a replacement motherboard sooner rather than later. Your saving grace is that the best reballing shop when it comes to ThinkPads is located in the United Kingdom.

  • Equium A210-1AS sometimes stops

  • Equium A210-1AS: Touchpad problem - the mouse becomes unusable

    Hello

    I have problems with the touchpad of my laptop Equium A210-1AS.
    After some time of use of the mouse becomes unusable and just starts bouncing around the screen and becomes uncontrollable.

    The only solution then is to unplug the laptop and turn the power off, re start the touchpad works again.

    I use Windows Vista and downloaded the latest touchpad drivers.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    See you soon
    Widdy1961

    This problem very strange s.
    Could you please tell me if this problem occurs after you reinstall the OS from the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    I read on several forums of Vista that some Microsoft Vista updates may have a bad influence on the touchpad driver
    Therefore, it would be very interesting to know if this problem appears immediately after the use of the recovery CD.

  • A few problems with my Equium A210-1AS

    OK, having some problems with my Equium A210-1AS and if all goes well there's a simple answer that someone here will know...

    First of all how hot is the laptop supposed to get... Mine seems to get the point where it is bad uncomfortable typing as the areas around the mouse pad plastic get really hot and the underside of the laptop is very hot, too... but this is crazy as the system itself was never to the point of crashing or anything through heat... Well well not that i know of anyway.

    The second question that I met while surfing on the net as is every now and then it seems the internet just completely dies and is loading not pages... It's the same thing on Internet explore, firefox and chrome! None of them will display websites - and that's with or without firewalls - it get just halfway through the loading status bit bar and you're nothing... If I close one of internet browsers and try and open them again he won't let me as I said there is still a version running... and when I go in the Manager of tasks, there is nothing in the window but the browser process is still running under the tab process... and no mater how many times you click it and end the process there is always there... The only way I can get rid of it or get the internet is to make a hard re-boot... which seems to take forever to shutdown before restarting (or quckily if I hold down the power button, but I do not do that!)

    Get IT is really annoying! as it is not within the time limits or any of some websites that I can pin point... It is randomly... sometimes as fast as 5 minutes... Other times, it can go more than 8 hours and stay working...

    It is not the router connection or by phone if my desktop machine works no stop without problem as do other cell phones in the House... It's just what seems to be the problem.

    Computer laptop im wise under a Toshiba A210-1AS with Windows Vista Home Premium service pack 1...

    So any ideas what could be the problem or, more importantly, a solution!

    On the first problem: I would like to clean the fan. Do not disassemble the laptop. Use the jet of compressed air and could blow the dust from the cooling fans.
    If you have any success with this tip, I would go to a local ASP. They should check your laptop.

    For the second question I would first do a driver update from the LAN or WLAN. Furthermore, this type of connection you are using?
    If you use WLAN make you the laptop and the router uses the same standard. In addition, the intensity of the signal should be good or very good.

    Tell me what happened.

  • Equium A210-1as turns off during the Bios flash

    Hello group,

    My computer laptop girls off for a flash bios because of blocked fan (dog hairs dust etc.) and its fried bios chip.
    I think that there is a partition on the Bios chip which can upgrade the bios in a critical state of flash using combinations of keys.

    I tried all of this and have a laptop dead yet.
    I contacted someone on the net that sells preloaded Bios chips and instructions to replace them, but I must first of all identify the chip on the card.
    Is there any reading that can identify it for me on a toshiba Equium A210-1as... psafje-005005ks

    Thanks for any help Paul G...

    Hi mate

    Usually it s is not necessary to replace the BIOS ROM chip on the motherboard.
    In most cases, the ROM module has to be reflashed again.
    It seems that the module ROM was not properly flashed and the process interrupted
    The technician of the ASP can reflash the module using a disc of the BIOS crisis.

    I recommend you to get in touch with the guys from the ASP in your country and ask reflash BIOSES.

    Good luck

  • Equium A210-1AS: Windows unexpectedI/Oerror bootmanager status took place

    Hi everyone, I really hope there, can someone help me today!
    My daughter is in the middle of her GCSE exams and has a problem with its Equium A210 - 1AS.

    It was working fine until last night and now all she gets while booting is:

    "Boot Windows display manager".
    Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.

    Thiserror can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as an external USB drive while the appliance is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD ROM drive which is a failure.
    Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.

    If you continue to receive this error message, contact the manufacturer of the equipment.

    Hello

    > She says she had her sex cam plugged and I tried to restart and reconnected, but this did not solve the problem

    Is this means that the laptop can not boot Windows OS?
    Please disconnect any external devices. Then switch on and press F8.
    Now you should see the advanced boot menu.
    Please check if you start the machine in safe mode.

    Otherwise I recommend the BIOS.
    Ensure that the HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS.
    If there is just no drive listed then the HARD drive could malfunctions.
    If the HARD drive is there, so you must set it as first boot device.

    If anything would help him, then a system restore would be desirable.

  • Question about the power of the battery on Equium A210-1AS

    Hello...

    the battery on my Equium A210-1as life is supposed to be around 2 and a half hour but it s more in 20 minutes.
    No idea why?

    That sounds like a bad battery.
    I think that Windows displays a fully charged battery or not loading stops at XX %?

    If your laptop is still under warranty, go to a local ASP and allow your battery to change.

    If your computer laptop doesn t have guaranteed, an ASP may also make a bid for a new battery. This part doesn't have to be so expensive.

  • Equium A210-1AS - it gets hot after BIOS update

    Hey, I was wondering if anyone can help here...

    Currently have a Toshiba Equium A210-1AS with BIOS version 1.80 worm 1.00PARTTBL 08/04/2008.

    Given that BIOS has been updated for a long time in this version 1.80 the computer became hot very quickly and therefore the laptop performance declined.
    I looked on the Toshiba support site and upgrade only version 2.00 was not compatible with this laptop.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Short model number is PSAFJE
    Thank you

    Hello

    I checked the site Web of Toshiba and I didn't see any BIOS update for satellite A210 PSAFJE. This means that an update of the BIOS was never marketed for this laptop, normally.

    To me it sounds like that you have updated the BIOS with one version for another Equium A210. So, you should go to an authorized service provider. Technicians can install the right version of BIOS for you (downgrade).

    Good bye

  • Equium A210-1AS - after update BIOS screen no longer works

    I tried to find the same problem but impossible.

    I had to reinstall Windows Vista after mistakes with programs (recovery was useless so install fress was necessary) and everything worked fine. I downloaded all the drivers and updates section of drivers Toshiba, I installed the ATI graphics driver, then update the BIOS.
    While the closed laptop, now when I turn it on, the fan on the works of graphics card, battery, power and load turns on but the screen remains off (not illuminated). I tried an external monitor and the same problem again. As the screen worked fine until the update im guessing its something that the BIOS has done, or the graphics update.

    TOSHIBA SATELLITE A210 - 1AS

    Thanks to all who can help.

    To me, it sounds like the update of the BIOS's not on your laptop. If the BIOS update fails more often than computer start doesn t more you can see anything on the screen but you can hear the fan, etc.

    In any case, you can try this workaround: remove the battery and the AC adapter. Wait an hour and then reconnect the two devices. Now try to start Notepad and hope this works ;)

    If it doesn't work, you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. Technicians can try to reflash the ROM module

    Good luck!

  • Equium A210: broken screen

    Hello

    I have an Equium A210 and yesterday when I turned it on the bottom of the screen was broken.
    You can see the ink where it broke.
    I went back to where I bought it (his only 2mths old) and they won't do anything about it because that's not covered and I rang the Bell and will cost nearly 400.

    Is this happen to someone because he has not been abandoned, and nothing fell on her. Help!

    Thank you
    Shirley

    Hello

    I have a laptop A210. It s not a satellite, but a series of satellites.
    However, the two are very similar, and to my knowledge that the same plastic covers and TFT screen are part of the laptop.

    I can close and open the upper cover easily
    So I can't believe that an internal screen damage itself without resorting to force or to fix a heavy object on the lid of the laptop.

    In any case, agree with Marina and it turns out that the ASP must check the laptop to make sure of what actually happened.

    So, check the path shown above and contact the ASP in your country for a manipulation of the Fryer.

    Bye and mate good luck

  • Wireless LAN on Equium A210-1AS connection with WPA-TKIP encryption problem

    I have a 1AS Equium A210 with Vista but cannot connect to the internet via a wireless router cable modem NTL using WPA-TKIP encryption and 5600 philips.

    The laptop shows the base station wireless with a beep sound intense but said that the base of the station is not responding or is hidden when I try to connect to the internet.

    I'm using the correct password.
    I am able to connect to the internet via the base station when connected via the ethernet cable. Other old computers connect wireless with no problems.

    I heard that some combinations of chipsets with Vista can be the cause of some of these issues.

    Clear advice or ideas on what I could try to get wireless internet would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you checked to connect the laptop to the router WLan with WPA encryption settings? Please do. You must disable the WLan encryption to test the WLan connection

    If the laptop could connect properly, then encryption is certainly the reasons why the laptop can not establish the WLan.

    Maybe your wireless network card does not like this on the encryption support or you simply have to update the Windows operating system and the driver WLan.

  • Upgrading RAM on Equium A210-1AS

    Hi all...

    I have laptop Satellite A210-1AS and was looking to upgrade the RAM.
    Can someone tell me what is the speed i.e. ddr2 667 or ddr2 800?

    Thank you

    Hello

    It depends on the FSB (front side bus) chipset.
    If the chipset supports FSB 800 Mhz, then the RAM would go to 800 mhz.
    If the chipset supports 667 Mhz or 533 Mhz and 800 Mhz RAM would be pointed down and would go slowly.

    Like many, I know that this laptop supports memory PC2-5300 DDR2 PC2-5300 667 Mhz.
