• Graphic problem on Satellite P200-13Z

  Hello

  Satellite P200-13z running 32-bit vista - intel graphics software displays + does not work because of insufficient resources + other checks indicate that the chip has no allocated memory.
  Machine runs Ok'ish on the LCD screen in mode VGA base but of course, for many programs, it is no good.

  Version 1.7, nothing in there to allocate memory for the graphics chip - as in other systems with built-in BIOS system memory for graphics.

  System has 1 GB of ram - updated 2GB with no difference.

  When I bought the laptop H/d has been deleted for reasons of safety, replaced by the new HD & reinstalled vista from a recovery P200D disk then download specific files for this machine from the Download Center, am I missing a file important?

  How do I allocate memory of the chip or do I have a defective chip / / cpu / / mb or other?

  You can not install image of P200D on P200. Both models have completely different hardware platforms. Images of recovery are individual and model specific images.
  If you want to play a little bit and test if you get it working it's Ok, but you also expect that some problems will occur.
  All with images is not so simply as you think.
  Toshiba has designed images for the use of certain models only. It will be too easy to buy a laptop and use some images on different specifications.
  I mean you pay a license and install on 10 laptops. You understand what I mean?

  If you do not have original disk recovery facilities use bare BONES Setup with disk Microsoft facilities and subsequently install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities download page following the link you have posted here. You will see that everything will work well.

• Graphic problem on Satellite A200 (PSAE6E)

  There is a problem with my laptop:

  It is the Satellite A200 - 23d PSAE6E. I added 1 GB - DIMM DDR - II 667 MHz Hynix. Memtest86 says no error with memory after a night of continuous operation.
  About a week or two ago the problem started to appear.
  I play Lineage II Interlude (it is built on the Unreal engine). Problem may occur after 15 minutes of play, can only occur after 3 hours - no dependencies to intensively to play or time spent in the game.
  Screen to become as if I put its colors 16 color range and become like the interlaced NTSC video. No resolution and color changes help. Didn't help not leaving the game. If I restart laptop, everything is normal.
  No other game (including LA2-Gracia) or work or multimedia tasks doesn't follow this problem, only Interlude LA2 and UT game. Other 3D games work very well.

  The drivers are original from the recovery CD. Windows Vista HP with automatic updates is enabled.

  And: when I connect external screen keyboard 'falls' are statistically more frequent (10 minutes to 1 hour in game LA2 it uptime).

  What is this and how do I solve this problem?

  Please copy your answers to my e-mail address: foxsandy (at) mail.ru, thank very you much. Sorry for my bad English, I'm from the Russia...

  I believe that no one here can say with certainty why this happen. We can only speculate why something like this.

  My opinion is that there is a problem in the relationship between the graphics card and extra RAM module. There may be a problem to address.
  In the end, you must perform some tests to see exactly what is happening. Try with another 1 GB of RAM from another manufacturer, such as Kingston.

• Graphic problem with Satellite A200 - 13 M

  Hi all
  I apologize for my English, I'm not a native English speaker.

  2 months ago my laptop wouldn't start.
  I call the Service after sale who tell me to send it in for repair.
  No problem: my laptop came back to me, and it worked fine.

  Now there is a * new * problem (graph): sometimes, and I don't now why, the screen is dirty.
  You can see traces white and white dots all over the screen, especially near the icons.
  It's a little more difficult to explain precisely in English.
  I tried to make a screen, but the bug appear on it; I'll try one tomorrow...

  To make them disappear, I just close the screen, making my laptop into hibernation, and when I open it upwards (immediately), everything is good.
  + Damned, having bug comes back! +

  Someone had this bug?

  _Edit: _
  They have changed the card mother + CPU + graphics card.

  You have described the issue is really strange
  I can t image it could be exactly but if that appears after your GPU and CPU has been changed so I recommend you to contact the ASP again and wonder what goes wrong.

  I put t know if you use a newer graphics driver and BIOS, but you should check if the problem persists even with the update of the BIOS and graphics driver.
  But if you see any improvements so a call of ASP is required

• Graphics upgrade on Satellite A660 - 1 H 6

  Hi all

  Is anyone know how it is easy to update the graphics card from Nvidia in an A660 - 1 H 6? I saw a previous thread by saying that it is 'unlikely', although that A660 specifications say clearly there Intel HD integrated with a DISCRETE Nvidia 310 M graphics card. It means to me that the "discreet" card can be disconnected and replaced by another. Can anyone confirm if it is possible or not?

  See you soon,.
  Richard.

  Update graphics card is not possible due to the design of specific laptops. Toshiba offers models of laptops with different graphics cards so that everyone who wants to buy the laptop must think before deciding which model of laptop want to buy.

  Toshiba doesn't support these upgrades and doesn t offers support of warranty either.

• Graphic problem on Satellite 1115-S103

  Often the case that the normal color changes other colors. What is c? Inversion? And what is the reason?

• Graphics problem on Satellite A110-228

  When you try to solve a problem (it was blue screen desk in front of my desktop wallpaper, which is a jpeg image and I could not change my wallpaper.)

  Although I can change the black background color, in front windows, the screen goes black and when I move the menu from top to bottom, left to right, I see the image behind it. I accidentally disabled the video card from toshiba.
  The result is that my screen does not work. The laptop works but no screen. How can I solve this?

  A VGA monitor in the external port no longer works. I have no cd of restoration (Restore on the C: drive stuff are) why not toshiba put this with the laptop? Where can I get it and will it resolve? Can someone help me?

  Hello

  > restore stuff is on drive C :) Why Toshiba didn't he deliver with Notepad
  Perhaps because each user can create this disk itself?

  But wait boyfriend not so fast!
  AFAIK all Toshiba laptops are delivered with the Toshiba Recovery CD!

  In the assistance of Toshiba, you will only find an option called Create drivers & Tools CD. This option can be used to create a driver CD, but not a whole recovery CD!
  So, in my opinion, you should receive a CD of restoration of Toshiba with Notepad.

  In any case all drivers and downloadable tools also from the Toshiba page. So if you want you can install XP from the original CD of Microsoft operating system and then could download and install all necessary drivers, tools and utilities Toshiba from the page!

  But I really don't understand why you have disabled the internal laptop display? and how? ?:| truly amazing

• Satellite A660 - 1 HL-problems with the graphics card

  Hello!

  This is my first thread so I apologize if I am doing something wrong and for my bad English. :)

  Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660 - 1 hl with two adapters, integrated and a GeForce GT 330 M. The integrated works well, but when I go to the dedicated I encounter problems. The non-adjustable resolution in optimal mode and windows in the operating system (windows 7) delays when moving. I can't get info on the map in all kinds of temperature programs or dxdiag and such others.

  I tried to install the drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update with no improvement. I can't run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or of any average games do I encounter error messages there as well. I begin to doubt that the drivers installed even.

  I hope you guys can help out me :)

  It comes to getting the error messages:

  http://ImageShack.us/photo/my-images...krmklipp3.jpg/

  http://ImageShack.us/photo/my-images/9/skrmklipp4.jpg/

  You should test the RAM (memory) for problems using the Test of memory of Microsoft or the www.memtest.org (bootable CD).

  To confirm that this is a hardware problem, you must save your documents and run recovery.

  If the problem still occur on a new image, then the laptop should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a motherboard replacement).

• Satellite A660-1DW - screen graphic problem becomes faints

  Hi guys, this is the first time m write on any shape... !!

  Basically, I bought toshiba A660-1DW from argos 4 months after using it for 4 months VGA (display graphic problem becomes faints and a little colored lines appear on the screen)

  .. as I had the warranty for the laptop, I went to argos, told them the problem rather than send it back for repair they just have me service number customer toshiba...

  returned home rang Toshiba, they gave me a few REF a bit and asked me of the drop to the argos... the next day went to argos they accepted and send it to toshiba for repair... after 3 weeks they have me called yesterday picked up the phone after using the laptop for 5 minutes, same problem was there...

  then I took it back to argos they still accepted and send it for repair, but they also said if the problem 3rd time I'll have to take the same branch of argos from where I bought the laptop... .fondamentalement I bought in HOUNSLOW and I live in slough.

  the conclusion that I am crazy about her, here it is... TOSHIBA AND ARGOS these people got the WORST service you will ever find anywhere on the other hand,

  THESE PEOPLE ARE MUCH MORE BETTER THEN TOSHIBA because IF THE CUSTOMER IS NOT happy with the product they will replace or Exchange streight away...!

  Hello

  I had a problem with my laptop and the ASP has replaced everything for free because the guarantee was valid.
  The guys are really helpful and friendly, so I did a very good experience with the Toshiba service and notebooks of other manufacturers can also be defective

  Of course, there might be some difference between the different cases, but I can't say that the service is not ok

• Re: Satellite A660 - drivers graphics Intel & installation Service Pack 1

  Hello, hope someone can help me.
  I recently put in a new hard drive in my Toshiba Satellite A660 No. model. PSAW3A-15J06T, and after you have reinstalled Windows 7 (64 bit), SP1 is not presented as an option to upgrade to windows. I read on the microsoft site, my Intel Graphics HD Driver 8.15.10.2119 would make this problem and it should be updated.

  I have had no success finding the right driver to fix this.
  In Device Manager, the driver name is just "Intel(r) HD Graphics" date of 21/04/2010 driver, version 8.15.10.2119.
  I upgraded my Nividia driver successfully for Toshiba downloads, but can't find a newer driver for the Intel(r) HD Graphics.

  I desperately need to Service Pack 1 and can not just download it from the Microsoft Download Center either, because the info said to ensure that the drivers are up to date.

  Can someone point me in the direction where I can download the right driver Intel Graphics. I looked at the Intel site, but its way just above my head.

  Hoping someone can help
  Karen

  According to specification for laptop , your laptop comes with HP Win7 64 bit.

  You have installed the original version of recovery which includes all drivers?
  Anyway, in the past, I've got several machines Toshiba and after a certain period of time under Windows Update was always offered Service Pack 1 as option for the Microsoft Windows Update. Maybe not at the beginning of the specifications of its use with own OS preinstalled. Wait a bit.

  To be honest, it is unclear to me that it depends on display preinstalled driver and I ve never done such an experience.

• Satellite A660 - display problems, very dark display

  Hello

  I'm at the end of help please.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R.

  recently, it has been very, very dark display on the screen, almost impossible to see.
  I tried the following the problem solved.

  1. set the brightness to the MAX in the operating system, power management, etc.
  2 reset the BIOS to default settings.
  3. set the brightness to the MAX on the laptop brightness settings.
  4. check the external display via a VGA cable. tested ok.
  5. I bought a new LED 16 "screen but the new screen has the same problems. If I understand correctly, LED screens (1 data cable video on the bottom of the screen to connect to the motherboard) have the "inverter" built into the display, so appears not to be a problem of map display, brightness or graphics. I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

  is there something easy, I missed, or something I have not tried?
  has anyone else experienced this problem and solved?

  Thank you in advance.

  > I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

  As much as I know there is no FL inverter then, or you can override the display or the cable (LCD/FL)
  LVDS cable) with a new one and the test shows again.
  I found a compatible: K000103140 LVDS CABLE

• Satellite A660 - boot problems USB after BIOS update

  Hello

  I own a Toshiba Satellite A660 and have recently updated the BIOS with the latest version (1.80). Since then, the laptop freezes on the splash screen (the one with the Toshiba logo) whenever a USB flash memory is attached.
  It works without the memory flash connected and if I connect it after I enter the starting or the BIOS Setup menu. I can even start her like that.
  As far as I'm concerned, this is a serious regression. Is there a way I can downgrade to the version of the BIOS, or any other way to solve this problem? I rely heavily on external USB drives.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Claudiu salvation,

  That is really interesting, I have to say so I tested on my new Satellite A660 and Transcend 4 GB USB Stick. Well, I also installed 1.80 BIOS but I can t view this problem HARD drive is set as first boot device and all the other BIOS settings are default. The Toshiba screen and Windows computer starts as usual.
  No problem at all!

  Have you tested different USB devices?

  In General, it is not possible to downgrade BIOS. It is possible to an authorized service because Toshiba on page you can download the latest version only but I doubt it s a bug in the new version of BIOS because it works on my A660.

• Problems with the graphics card on Satellite Pro M10

  Hi, this is my first post on the forum. I'm not a pro with computers or anything... the problem I have with my laptop is similar to the one in this thread:

  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26849&TSTART=0

  I spent half the day trying to figure out if my graphics card is broken, but since I'm a newbie with this stuff, I'm still not sure. :(

  This is what makes my M10. I'm trying to describe the symptoms that detailed as possible, but I'm German, so please excuse my lack of words in some places.

  1. when I turn it on, the laptop goes through the BIOS and give me scrambled BACK-screens and a slightly Warped windows loading bar. There is the consistency check, marked by black bars connecting the top of the screen down. After the audit, the screen goes black and nothing happens, or the screen of will just show me consistency check, do nothing. Be that as it may, I have to turn off the power (I think) and restart the laptop.

  2. sometimes the laptop goes through the BIOS checking & conistency with a few graphical shortcomings. The office is anything but shredded when he gets to the screen of the Windows user. The static method is if serious I don't even know where is the button turn off.

  3. sometimes Notepad starts very well, with the only graphic problem being the windows loading bar. When I go into Windows, the laptop pulls me a blue screen and stops immediately.

  4. sometimes, the laptop works fine for about an hour or two. After I rebooted, I have the same problems listed above, once again.

  5. If I open Device Manager and disable the graphics card, the laptop works very well. I have to lower the screen resolution and colors, but I can watch videos on youtube and everything. Finally, the laptop gets very hot on the bottom and the screen goes crazy again, so I turn the damn thing off.

  I don't know what that means! If my graphics card is broken, the screen should be all static, ALL the time? Not just sometimes more,... could sometimes less be some sort of communication problem between the graphics card and cpu? Please help me with this!

  Another thing I'm not sure about, even after reading the thread I linked above - can I replace the graphics card or not? Everyone said something different in the other thread...

  see you soon,
  Cozmo

  Edit: maybe I will add when I got the screen scrambled and everything. I installed Civilization 4, just to check if my satellite pro can handle, and everything went well for a while. The screen then haywire and I rebuilt my whole system, but display problems did not disappear completely. They were gone for almost a month, and now they are 'back' or something.

  Hi Cozmo

  I'm not a technician but here nobody needs technical knowledge to see that there certainly is hardware problem. I also believe that this problem occurs due to the graphics card. Graphics card is part of the motherboard and it cannot be traded separately. The entire motherboard must be exchanged.

  In my opinion, you have two options: either contact the authorized service provider in your country and speak with them, what can be done, or try to get the motherboard used. If you are lucky, you can find it on eBay. I already bought several hardware components for my old Satellite P10 on eBay.

  Sorry Cozmo but I do not see any other logical solution for you.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A660 / 07P - problems with my browsers, internet connection

  Hey guys,.

  I just brought a Satellite A660 / 07P.
  I have problems with my browsers, internet connection.

  After a period of time (varies) my browsers stop to connect to internet.
  Skype works fine, as does my download manager and other internet services.

  When I run an internet system restore works again for a period of time, before picking up the handset.
  I used this happens with all browsers (IE, Firefox and Chrome).

  Any help is greatly appreciated.

  Ry ~.

  Hi dude

  Skype works fine. Right?

  This means that the laptop is connected properly to the router and the internet connection has been established successfully.
  I think that a firewall can affect the functionality of the browser. Check the firewall settings.

  In addition you should check if other installed 3rd party tools to affect the functionality of the browser.
  Verify installed tools

  last but not least you could clean the operating system. Use the CCleaner.
  Free is nice tools.

• Satellite A660, SWITCH OFF COOLING PROBLEM message appears

  My Sat A660 1FH displays a message that says there is a cooling problem and I should pass away, but when I check the settings there is no problem. can anyone help please?

  Hi mikeswan,

  I have the Satellite A660 since October 2010 up to more than 4 months now and has never seen a such error message on my Satellite A660. Everything works fine, cooling system works normally and if not, no problem.

  Nothing comes from nothing, so I think that there really is a problem with your cooling system or high temperature.

  Your laptop should still be under warranty, because this new model of s. very good because I would contact the closest to what s service provider authorized as soon as possible before you get property damage due to a higher internal temperature. I think that professional people, make sure that there is no problem or get the correction of an error, please check your laptop. Maybe the fan needs to be replaced or else I put t really know.

  I can help you find an authorized service provider then follow this link:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > find an authorized service provider

  That s a list of all FSA with phone number and all the rest need you can get in touch with the guys.
  I think that it of the best idea and if there is a hardware problem, repair will cost nothing. :)
