Green lines on screen - Qosmio G15

Someone has put in place if there is a serious problem with the motherboards in the Qosmios? I have now experienced the second failure of motherboard in my G15. The first was in December 05 which was replaced by Toshiba. Now it happened again 6 months later.

I love the computer, but I am very concerned by the machine

Hello Richard

I found a few topics on this forum with similar theme. One of them that you can see on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=9337&messageID=34323

Try to connect the external monitor and see if it happens again. If so there must be a problem with the graphics chip and the main Board. I don't know but I read somewhere that this is known issue and service partners have a new Board of Directors main graphics chip with more recent. This means that you will get much better graphics card but it produces more heat and the cooling fan runs very often and for longer. The second problem is that power consumption is a little higher and the battery life is not as long as before.

Sorry, but you need to talk again with service partners; Ask them about this info with the main Board and the new graphics chip. There are also guaranteed for new pieces of equipment.

Talk with them. Good luck!

    Do you have this problem on an external monitor too or only on the screen internal? Maybe it s not a graphics card problem. Check it!

  • Red/green line on screen of laptop

    So, whenever we go out, my family put my laptop under a couch to hide. This has been done several times, and this time when I pulled it out and opened it, there was a vertical green line on the screen... I lifted the laptop and thought maybe something underneath was loose, then a red line appears beside that green...

    Anyone have any ideas on what is wrong? The lines are still there, for two days. I don't drop it or anything, but just maybe I put him on the ground too hard. I searched on the internet and get the results of "broken screen", "broken video card", "Reinstall video card", "some things are cowards"... no idea what to do. If anyone have experienced this, please help!

    My laptop is Compaq Presario A900, is told by the way. Had for about... 2 years. Or less.

    Looks like this:

    and no, I didn't sit on it or drop it, ever. This is why I still don't think that the cables of the screen are screwed or the screen is broken. Other problems, perhaps? Thank you.

    Hello

    1TS restart to ensure that nothing works to influence the following process.

    Change the resolution of your screen to a little lower - OK. Change for a bit higher than it was (all the way)
    the lines change their locations or they stay in the same place? If they stay in the same place then it
    There's a chance that the screen has been damaged. You can reset the resolution as desired.

    Now this

    Control Panel / Device Manager - graphics cards - writing down of the brand and complete model of the device.
    Double-click it and write the version - now click on update drivers (this could do nothing as MS is
    far behind certification pilot) - now do a RIGHT CLICK on the device and UNINSTALL - REBOOT which will refresh
    the driver stack.

    Then go to system Maker and get the latest drivers (or the same if not more recent ones) - download - SAVE-
    go to where you put - top - right click RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT.

    I hope that your lines have disappeared.

    If not try this-

    Start - type in the search box - MSCONFIG will find at the top of the list right click - RUN AS ADMIN.

    General tab - note what settings are there now - select Diagnostic startup - APPLY / OK - REBOOT

    Are the lines still there? If this isn't the case, then you have a program or service starting up causing their.

  • Vertical lines on screen - Qosmio F10

    I need assistance with vertical lines on my screen.
    It began before the period of one month, and I don't know what to do.
    Now, I work in SafeMode because Windows XP used to operate normally.

    The service where I bought it, they say I have to buy the new motherboard because the graphics card is integrated on the motherboard and graphics card loses contact with the motherboard.

    Now I should spend about 900 to buy the new card mother and graphics card, but it is stupid because I bought new Toshiba before 2 years for 2,000 and now does not work normally.
    Does anyone has a good idea how to fix it or some pages where I can find parts for my Qosmio? It is easier to say that someone to spend 900 to fix.
    Where are now best Toshiba notebook that everyone talks about.

    Help, please.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I can really understand you and of course it s very stupid situation, but I guess that the guys of ASP are right and this problem really looks like a graphics card problem.
    The vertical lines on the screen are very typical for a malfunction of the graphics card.

    So I see really no other possibility as to replace the motherboard.
    Maybe you can buy one second hand and it could be a little cheaper.

    PS: I bought an extended warranty with my new laptop and I recommend to all this extension because a hardware malfunction can always happen.

  • Lines on screen Qosmio G20

    Hello

    I hope that someone help me with this, there are (different colors) lines from the top to the bottom of my screen. It started with one and the number of these lines started appearing day after day, I have about 25 of these lines at my last count.

    Test it with external monitor. If the lines are there again, it may be because of the faulty graphics card. If this is not the case, then is probably the screen the reason why this happens.

  • Satellite A300 - thin light green line on screen

    Hello Roy.

    Please notify. Each switch-on, this thin line seems biased and permanent. He appeared a few days ago. Is this a failure of the chip in the graphics card?
    How can it be rectified?

    Suppose a warranty issue. Look forward to a response from forum.
    Thank you.

    Hello Roy

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop and check it out. If the line is still there, it must be because of the graphics chip. If this isn't the case, something's wrong with the display.

    Contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider as soon as possible. Certainly it comes to warranty and replacement will be free.

    Good luck!

  • Qosmio G10-133: the blue lines on screen

    To all those who can help you:

    I turned on my Qosmio yesterday to find a series of unwanted blue lines, distorting the Qosmio logo. Lines and distortion continued until the operating system came at the opening of my office. At this point the whole system locked and the screen went completely blank.

    The Qosmio player suffers from the same problem. The boot system, but crashes when the display is asked to do something.

    I can open the operating system in safe mode, but the lines still appear to a lesser extent on the screen.

    I have run all the tests and has been through the manual troubleshooting section. I tried to reinstall the drives and roll back to the previous facility. But, for all that I try, nothing will change.

    Qosmio my friend did exactly the same thing a month or two it is a. Solution from Toshiba was to replace the motherboard.

    My Qosmio is still under warranty, and I am very happy to send it because Toshiba has one of the best customer service I've had to face.

    But, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    I also very pleased with the customer support service Toshiba m.
    I think that the simplest and the best way to resolve this weird display problem is to bring the unit to the ASP. Laptop you is guaranteed to be protected and a replacement is free.

  • Annoying green line glisten under Compaq Cq40 LCD screen

    I don't know if it's because of the new BIOS I installed that caused it that I improved F.24 F.30 version and after that all of a sudden there's this green line boring glisten under my LCD... and my temp CPU reaches now to + 60 degrees Celsius, while before upgrading my CPU temp only amounts to 32 degrees Celsius.

    I already flashed the BIOS F.30 and now he's back to F.24 the temp went down, but the green line which sparkle under my LCD screen is still there... I checked the new updates to the graphics card but it says that it is up-to-date. so theBIOS has nothing to do with the flickering line after all I thought that it was caused by the high temperature. Haven't bought my laptop in Singapore in February this year no problem until this one

    BTW, my laptop is a Compaq CQ40 319TU with Vista Home Premium OS license.

  • Green vertical line on screen

    A green line is constantly through my screen, my operating system is windows vista

    Hi André,.

    Welcome to the Microsoft community where you can find all the answers related to windows.

    This issue could be the settings with the monitor or screen discs has been corrupted.

    I suggest to start the computer in safe mode and check if the problem persists.

    In safe mode will have reduced functionality, but the task of isolating problems is easier because many non-core components are disabled readers even display.

    Start your computer in safe mode: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Start-your-computer-in-safe-mode

    If the problem does not persist in safe mode, and then perform a clean boot in order to check if any third-party application is causing the problem, as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the following Microsoft article:

    How to solve the problem by running the clean boot in Windows: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
    Note: Once you have completed troubleshooting, perform the steps in the step 3: to reset the computer as usual.

    If you are able to boot into normal mode, with success, then I suggest you download and install the latest driver for the display driver.

    Update a hardware driver that is not working properly: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work properly

    Hello

    These lines on the screen indicate graphics card problem.
    Try testing with external monitor? If the same image that you will certainly know the graphics card is defective.

    Anyway, these two questions are for me serious enough and best thing you can do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
