Flashing random screen Satellite Pro P200D-10A

I've owned this wonderful machine for only a few months and my only complaint is that every day or two my screen begins to blink so I can see just enough to go to start and log off. Yes, disconnection is the only solution that I have discovered to get him to stop. I can connect immediately and it's as if nothing was ever with her.

No one knows the cause or solution for this? My husband is a programmer and he checked several times but nothing helped. If anyone has any suggestions, it can have another look. I really don't want to have to send it to the company :)

There are new updates for this model? You can google this particular model throughout the day and you will never find an English website.
I live in Germany where this laptop came.

However, I don't speak German.

Well I think we should first of all whether it is a hardware or software problem.
I think it might be something wrong with the graphics card or display, but this is just my own opinion.

However, sometimes a BIOS update or an update of the graphics driver could help too.
So I think that you should first check if a newer version of the BIOS and update the graphics driver is available on the Europe of Toshiba page for this series of books.
Then update the two parties.

If it doesn't help then I recommend you contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country for a control of the laptop.

According to your message, the laptop is not very old and the warranty must cover all

Good luck

  • PowerPoint maps is extended on a large screen Satellite Pro

    Hi - I have a satellite Pro M50 widescreen notebook. When I use Powerpoint, creating graphics, the graphics and the graphic police seem tense. I tried to change the resolution settings, but this is not enough. I guess what might work would be to reduce the size of the active screen, but I have no iade how to proceed. Can anyone help with this? Thank you very much.

    As far as I know the content displayed on the screen will be automatically stretched to the borders of the display. Maybe force I understood you right, but you want to see the PowerPoint presentation to the 4:3 format. Am I wrong?

  • Re: Magenta/Purple mount screen Satellite Pro C660-2JR

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop Satellite Pro C660-2JR and a few hours after getting it I noticed he has a purple cast/tint on any gray tones and is especially noticeable if a B & W image is seen because it has tones of purple, white and black with grey wire no real!

    Its very visible on the default settings (which are mostly dressed and contrasting even after I turned the backlight down) and I adjusted the brightness, contrast and gamma via graphics driver as by test cards, but despite that I get this darn will not disappear.

    Is the only way to sort of get rid of him for the contrast of the Green layer but affecting the other colors as well so it's not really solve the problem and the cast usually ends either be clear or green purple with no real neutral gray.

    This distribution is visible in all lighting and all the corners of the screen.

    I send it back for a replacement or open a repair warranty on the laptop, is there anything anyone can suggest I do?

    It is not easy to discuss this issue. We will see what it looks like.

    In my opinion, you should contact your local dealer, compare it with other laptops of the same series and ask for replacement.

    How can I fix my screen Satellite Pro L300? I went by mistake about it.
    Although there seems to be nothing wrong with the external armor but there seems to be a few lines on the screen.

    The glass is cracked? You see the flow of liquid crystals when you move the screen?

    If the lines are perfectly horizontal or vertical, and then the glass behind the protective plastic surface is cracked, requiring a replacement LCD.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - cursor black screen flashing

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro L300 Vista.

    The customer earned him in because when it starts it goes to home Toshiba screen then goes to a black screen with cursor flashing at the top left. I connected external monitor with the same result. Swapped RAM as well.

    Have run Memtest (spent), Seagate HDD long test (past), Ultimate boot CD and Winternals without success.
    * F8 does not work * and no more than the resumption of the plant.

    Can enter the BIOS F2 and F12 no problems and the HARD drive is listed.

    I reinstalled Vista on CD and on reboot it goes back to blinking cursor. I tried booting from the Vista CD repair and system restore. FixBoot commands and FixMbr prompt as well as with the same result.
    I feel that it may be a corrupt CMOS sensor? It's like the OS installs correctly, but the computer loses his memory on reboot where the operating system?

    Is the battery CMOS easily accessible and removable on this model?

    Has anyone experienced these symptoms? Is - fixable at lower cost?

    Hello

    If you have clients, I guess you're a technician and hope you have a few pieces of equipment in your store.
    Have you tried to set the BIOS to default settings and check again?
    If possible try to exchange the HARD drive and test the functionality again.
    You can use laptop with Linux live CD (HARD drive not required)?

    To be honest that I think n problem t is ORGANIC and, in my opinion, the exchange of the CMOS battery is not necessary.

    Please test it with the new HARD drive and post comments.

  • Satellite Pro P100-188: screen keeps blinking on and off at random intervals tension

    If anyone can help me with my computer so please PLEASE publish it because I have no idea of what is happening to her.

    I just bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 - 188 Dual Core and I'm having a problem with it. Sometimes (not all the time) if the computer is plugged in or not, the screen flashes and repeatedly and then will slow down and its suspicious home.

    I have no idea what's wrong with it, I sent it to the store where I bought to be fixed and they just he sent to me, but the problem persisted. They say they have done tests on the machine and can't find anything wrong with it, but if that were the case, then it only would not have messed up again.

    What is just a software problem? The screen seems to flicker on and off at intervals irregular or not I'm in the middle of using it or not. All the drivers are the latest drivers and I admit now that I'm at my wits end.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    Hello

    This seems very odd. However, you posted that this problem happens sometimes and not all the time.
    In my opinion I n t think that the software could be responsible for this issue.
    Perhaps one loses the connection cable? But believe me; It's not easy to say what's wrong without diagnostic tests.
    You have suggested that you have sent the unit to the store.

    I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Technicians must check the laptop.

    I have a laptop Toshiba L450D-12 x, when you start the laptop, the screen is flashing / blinking on and non-stop.

    The screen turns on seconds, and it does not stop, becomes faster and faster!

    The operating system loads up, I can not connect, but everything else seems fine.

    Here is a list of what I've tried,

    1. connected to an external monitor - on the monitor, the screen does not flash, but on the laptop it is flashed!
    2 replace the cable with a new one - continuous flashing screen
    3 replace the inverter - continuous flashing
    4. replace the screen - continuous flashing
    5 reset the default settings of the bios - continuous flashing
    6. started in safe mode - continuous flashing

    > Please help, I don't want to replace the motherboard and then find it is not the motherboard

    In my view it's hard to say what's wrong here.
    You said that if you connect the external monitor, the display is OK means (in my opinion) than the motherboard and graphics card should be ok.

    I think you should visit a next engineer downtown to get verified material sound much less expensive than buying the following parts.

  • Screen with Satellite Pro R50-B-14U problem

    Hello

    I was just given the Satellite Pro R50-B-14U pc.
    After I upgraded from 7 to 8. 1 and I did the updates Toshiba/windows screen randomly goes off, then on again after a second at intervals of about 1/2 hours.
    I tried to uninstall and reinstall the video drivers, but the problem persists.

    How can I fix it?
    Thank you.

    According to the specifications of the laptop you original Win8.1 DVD facilities, so I assume you are using for the installation of the OS.
    Have you noticed these problems immediately after installing the OS or later after the installation of updates?

  • Impossible to change the bright screen on Satellite Pro C50-A-143

    I run windows 8.1 and I could not change the brightness of the screen for a while now.

    It happened a few months before, but after a random number of days that it worked again, now it is stuck in about 60% bright max, which is not enough when the sun comes through the window.

    According to the Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-143 datasheet this laptop has been preloaded with Win 7 64 bit and Win additional 8.1 own drive was part of the package.
    I assume that you have installed own 8.1 win but have not installed all the drivers Toshiba win 8.1.

    Is this correct?

    Visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver, install all the drivers, tools and utilities (graphic card drivers display tool, driver Toshiba system, etc.)
    Utility function key Toshiba is very important if it is to use the key function (Fn, F1-10)

    Then you should be able to use the function key to decrease and increase the brightness of the display.

  • Satellite Pro S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

    A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

    The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

    I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

    Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

    Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

    Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
    Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
    Have you tried the following:
    Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
    It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
    It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
    I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
    I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
    I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
    I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
    I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
    See you soon

    Hey Buddy,

    > It turns on but not at all to see clear
    This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

    It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

    In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

    Good luck! :)
