Is broken on my Satellite A100-820 screen?

Hello

While my wife was using her cell phone yesterday, she suddenly had the horizontal and vertical lines of color (all kinds of colors, probably 1 or 2 pixels wide). I told her to restart, which lead to a total collapse of the monitor.

When we turn it on now, turn on the right monitor, your stay in this way until it reaches windows (I can hear the sound of it to achieve the connection part). Then he gives me a few plots of different sizes of different bright areas. At the same time are again a few vertical lines. The amount of lines and spots changes at each restart, but as you can guess, don't see actually us all that on windows (or maybe we do, but it's all compressed in a few pixels wide).

I tried to hook the laptop to our TV (it worked before) with a regular VGA cable. When I press Fn + F5 to the point where the laptop monitor turns off the coast and transfers to the TV (have to press twice for that), I just got a green horizontal line of the TV as well as a few other horizontal lines of a pixel.

Initially, I assumed that the monitor was broken, but since I get no image on TV, I'm afraid, is something else (or several questions together).

My questions boil down to this:
1. is there anything else I can do to make the external monitor work? (Because I don't see anything, I can only imagine that I connect when I press the keys) I know that Windows still works, so if the external monitor could be implemented I would be fine for now...
2. everyone guess (know?) what parts of the laptop are probably broken?
3. can replace these parts?

OK, so moving: I still have the same issues as above, but since everyone seems to be in the dark as much as I am, I have another question:

I have a software that can only be activated x number of times (EA games) and one of them is on the laptop. Now, I can still boot into Windows, but I don't see anything. Is it possible that I can withdraw authorization or uninstall this software so I don't lose no (other) cd key?

It would work even for connect the HDD (I checked, it's a SATA) up to a desktop computer as only the hard drive and start this way? The hardware configuration may be so different that it will invalidate my Vista installation and possibly even the validation of games with it. But it will allow me even to start Vista yet, or is it too hard to Toshiba cable material to do on a Windows desktop platform?

  • Satellite A100-011 - screen shaking

    A few days ago, I bought Samsung 23 "2343 monitor (VGA) and connected to my Satellite A100-011, but I quickly noticed screen shaking.
    Shaking disappears and appears at random times, and only when I use recommended Screen Resolution 2048 x 1152.
    Drivers and the operating system is not the problem, because the screen trembles when the bios, and external monitor is not broken (tried on Satellite A210 and ASUS EEE without problem).

    I would be very grateful for any information.

    Hello!

    Have you checked the user manual of your Satellite A100? I doubt that this is because there you can find the solution for this problem.

    According to the manual of your mobile phone supports the following screen resolutions:
    800 x 600
    1024 x 768
    1280 x 1024
    1600 x 1200
    1920 x 1440
    2048 x 1536

    It seems so that the screen resolution recommended to your monitor is not supported and that is the reason to shake the screen.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

    Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

    The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

    HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

    Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

    I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

  • Satellite A100-796 screen suddenly flips & occasionally turns black.

    9 months ago, I bought my laptop (Satellite A100-796).
    Since a week ago, the screen flickers from time to time very fast (for like a second). What's worse, the screen came to turn completely black twice suddenly while he was studying. It seems that the computer was still active, but the screen went black still (on the power but in black only). The only solution was to press the power button for like 10 seconds to stop the computer laptop everything.

    I have installed new software, so I don't really know if it of a hardware problem or not? Everyone recognizes these symptoms, or you can give me any advice? I always had a pick-up-and-return-guarantee, do I have to use this right now or is there a quicker and better solution?

    I really hope that someone can guide me through this, given that the laptop is very precious to me.

    Kind regards

    Liem

    We should read about some facts. The fact is that this issue must be linked to a hardware malfunction.
    Kody said the FL inverter could be faulty, but I think that the internal display could also causes this issue

    There is only one real way of this knowledge. The parts must be checked!

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification of the laptop.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A100-237: Screen Dithered

    Hello
    I have problem with my screen on Satellite A100-237. Some colors (many of them; but others appear correctly, without this problem) it seems that halftone, example:

    http://img59.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lcdmg2.jpg
    (click again to the original size)

    The fill on the left must be a solid color, but you can see a sort of texture (groups of darker pixels) - as if the screen tries to simulate the color, which he was not able to view (technique called dithering, used in gif, for example). When I change the bit to 16 bit depth (I use 32-bit), it's better for some colors (like the one pictured), but he still presists. It's very distracting, especially in videos or games - the image on the screen go, but this 'texture' stays in the same place, so it is easily spotted.

    Can I do something with this? Is this a HW or SW fault, or is it considered to be "normal"?
    Does anyone have the same problem?
    PLEASE NOTIFY. THX.

    Hello

    This problem appears from the beginning and you have installed the operating system from the recovery CD?
    If not the case, please use the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD.
    Also have you tried to update the graphics driver? Please check the version of the graphics driver on the Toshiba driver page. If the new driver is available, please install on your laptop.

  • Satellite A100-192: screen does not show colors properly

    Hello!

    I just bought a new laptop Satellite A100-192, technology TruBrite screen, and I have a problem with the display of colors and sharpness of the image. For example, the letters that are gray look more or less grey gray and there is not an intense color. Is it because of the model of the laptop or is it possible to fix this? It's a bit disappointing when I try to watch a DVD or even when I read the Web pages... The colors are not consistent...

    THX!

    It is a known problem, your note is psaa9. Search this forum "dithering", I have already discuss this dependent problem.is bios.i really am very sorry for my English

  • Need some information on the Satellite A100-474 screen refresh rate

    Hello.
    Good time of day.

    I try install asp linux on my laptop. To configure X Windows I have to configure horizontal and vertical refresh of the screen (Toshiba TruBrite WXGA TFT).
    Any ideas how I can find these values?

    With respect and graditude, Raven.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I found that the information the Satellite A100-474, which belongs to the PSAA9E series has been delivered with the 15.4 screen "and max. 1280 x 800 WXGA resolution.
    As far as I know it is developed by Samsung and it is a part number: LTN154X3-L06-H0A.

    Did you look in the user manual? I think that the manual provides some useful information under Schedule A; Technical characteristics.
    It should be for information about the video modes as the resolution of the CRT screen, color depth (bpp), and refresh rate (hz).

  • Satellite A100-225 screen does not load

    I have a toshiba A100-225 and whenever I start the laptop the screen will not load or show anything. Does anyone know what the problem with him?

    Hi Michael,

    The screen itself may be defective or the FL inverter has failed. Try to connect an external monitor to your laptop and see if you can get a good view. If the external monitor does not work then it is probably a problem with your graphics chip.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A100-200 - screen dead/black

    A100-200 laptop bought in November 2006 and have not used it since. Last year, the screen is lit and failed frequently until it now shines at all. The fans are working and heat production.

    Some people say the motherboard was going on, but this seems to be such an easy answer even for the so-called experts. A Dell laptop, that I didn't have with professionals, saying he needed a new motherboard.

    I put one in me only to find out that it was the power supply (brick) who needed to change!

    Who can make a trust?

    Ideas, people?

    Hi alexlendoye,

    In my view, quite easy, you can check the laptop: connect a monitor external and that s all!
    If the external monitor works well, you the internal screen is defective and must be replaced (perhaps only the FL inverter which controls the backlight).

    By the way: you can get the new spare parts of an authorized service provider. Technicians can also swap the display for you it's a little tricky.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A100-049 screen remains empty when reactivated from sleep mode

    Intermittently, have been left for a while my screen A100-049 remains empty when reactivated from sleep mode. It does not meet the access keys and have checked the settings which seem to agree.

    Notice that in this case the power button remains 'blue' and not to return to 'Orange flashing. Is this a common problem?

    Hello

    What do you with the mode 'sleep'? Do you mean the hibernation mode or the mode booth? What operating system do you use?

    Listen buddy. It's really not easy to say why it happens without running diagnostic tests. I think you should try to update the graphics driver and check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. Two updates might be useful in resolving these issues

    Good luck

  • Satellite A100 - black screen on startup

    For two days my laptop Toshiba A100-495 / model-No. PSAA9E-18F047GR / Y6065357Q with Windows XP SP3 serial shows a black screen at startup. There is still no picture Windows startup.

    The laptop is all starting, but after finishing and be ready for use, the screen is always black. When I am pressing Fn + F5 keys, the desktop appears.

    The black screen is only starting cold after stopping, not awareness of standby or pause.

    > When I am pressing Fn + F5 keys, the desktop appears

    It seems that the display output is set to external monitor
    You see the Toshiba start screen if the laptop is connected to the external monitor?
    Check it!

    In addition, I am agree with Akuma BIOS should be the default value.
    To access the BIOS F2 press while turning on the laptop. I hope that you can do this then press F9 for default settings and then exit the BIOS save settings.

  • Satellite A100-812: screen brightness does not not & screen turns off after a while

    Some power management features do not work after a bios update (5.90).
    The display brightness can be changed in the power manager, or the top menu system. In the power manager, the cursor can be moved, but the brightness is not set. Toshiba menu system appears to hang on trying to change the brightness with F6 - F7 and won't move the cursor.

    In addition, the screen does not turn off after the set amount of minutes in the power manager.

    What is going on? How can this be repaired?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Some questions; Why you have updated the BIOS?
    Are you sure you used the right BIOS?

    In my opinion you shouldn't t to update anything if the laptop works properly!

    However, try to access the BIOS, set the default settings and save the settings before exiting the BIOS.
    If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A100: Black screen on startup of windows

    Hello everyone,

    my screen doesn't show anything until windows XP starts. No toshiba start screen, no boot menu. The rest works batteries, no errors. I would like to have the normal start with: "press del to enter setup" etc.

    Thanks for the help

    Hello

    Something like press DELETE to enter Setup does not appear because usually, at the beginning, only the Toshiba start screen should appear.
    If you want to get into the BIOS you press "F2". Pressing the DEL you will not enter the BIOS. It s a notebook, not a desktop PC, my friend ;)

    What you can do is to disable Quiet Boot in the BIOS. Then active diagnosis and summary screen appears.

    It works fine on battery?

  • Satellite A100-237 screen remains off when the lid is opened

    OK I'll try my best to explain this. My power settings are adjusted so that the computer has no effect when the lid is closed - except for the display, which is turned off and back on when the lid is opened (normal behaviour).

    Now, in rare occasions, when I opened the back cover, the screen doesn't come back, unless I close the back cover and open again. It is not a big problem for me at the moment, but I'm afraid that the connections of the screen with the motherboard by the cover have been damaged.

    BIOS version 2.00, maybe an update could solve it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Ataberk,

    I think that your problem can be caused by the micro-switch that will detect when the laptop lid is closed. If this switch is in the open position so your screen will remain off even with the lid open. The idea here is that you can get the display by closing and opening the lid again.
