LCD screen turns off without reason - Satellite M40X

I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40X, I work when the LCD turn off and I hear two PIF. To turn on the LCD screen I need to restart the laptop, but the problem persists after a few minutes.

Can someone help me, please.

Hello

Here you can compare the version of the BIOS installed on the laptop with the one published on the page of the Toshiba driver.
If you use the older BIOS, you can try to update. Maybe the update will sort this strange behavior.

But there could also be a hardware malfunction if the BIOS update does not help.

  • Gigaframe L81 - after 2-3 seconds, the LCD screen turns off

    Hello!

    I think, I missconfigurated my camera... I put the automatic light (auto light) options, then the LCD is turned off. OK, its light of day here, but how can she Cook?

    And - perhaps because of the thing said? -its LCD screen turns off every time, when I push the power on button. I'm tired of using the reset switch, but she has - at least, in the LCD - no effect.

    Device is reset, then lights up the screen, I see him starting, I can touch control "buttons" on the right side (I can see the blue lights), but after only 2-3 seconds, the LCD display turns off again.

    Although I can do anything on my camera - attach PC files, copy or dele (ordered from Windows) etc. I just don't see anything in the LCD screen.

    What's wrong?

    If it still does not work after resetting it, then it may be a hardware problem.

    I think that you will need for repair/replacement.

  • Screen turns off when the Satellite A45-S250 is moved in the direction of less

    Hello.

    I have a satellite A45-S250. I had no previous problem with this machine. However, when the computer is running too long, or it is moved in the slightest way the screen turns off. I don't even have to type very slowly - or I lose the screen.

    But also, as I have said - sometimes I won't even be near the computer and the screen turns off. When I lose the screen if the light shines on it - I can see, it's always VERY fair Sun. Generally, it will come if I use the FN + F5 button.

    I don't know if it is a screen problem or a connection problem. It occurs with increased frequency. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    From your description, I assume FL converter is defective and must be replaced. FL inverter is responsible for the background light and the typical symptom for faulty FL inverter is dimming or blinking display.

  • LCD screen turns off after a few minutes

    My screen turns off after a few minutes, even if the parameters to be able to say that he should turn off after 60 minutes of no activity.  Before this date should activate the screensaver after 10 minutes of no activity.  But in my case the active screensaver ever and my right monitor fades to black.  What can I do to fix this?  Is there a registry setting that has changed I don't know?

    -penciline

    I checked power options, the first thing, and then I checked the (NVIDIA) graphics card Control Panel to see if there is a setting for it.  The figures that I had in my previous post came from my power options, but I don't know how standard power who do not have the numbers that it would affect the schedule/performance options.  I went to advanced settings.  But I also rebooted my computer which solved the problem, in my opinion.  I'll have to sit and wait to be sure, but I'll get back to you on that once I have test.

  • Satellite L50 - B turn off without reason

    My toshiba laptop Satellite L50 - B keeps cutting without reason after for a couple of hours sometimes only 10 minutes however.
    He does everything at stake but also while watching movies and all other applications are closed

    OS: Windows 7 (64-bit)

    It seems that the laptop turns off automatically due to a higher internal temperature.
    Using Win 7 64 bit

    Have you installed this system with your own hands? As far as I know most of the units are pre-installed with Win 8.1...

    The laptop turns off using a system already installed by Toshiba?

    How about the graphics card drivers? Have you used the drivers from the Toshiba page?
    I ask because the drivers of Toshiba page are modified and released for mobile use!

    Also make sure that your cooling air could circulate properly and the cooling fan is free

  • R61 turns off without reason

    Hello Lenovo community,

    I am writing, because I noticed a weird behavior of my ThinkPad R61 for 3 weeks.

    To be more precise, it's my ThinkPad R61 8918 DEG, I bought 12 months ago.

    I'm on Windows Vista Professional (with Service Pack 2) top.

    Windows Update and ThinkVantage System Update run twice a week.

    If Windows, all the drivers and the Lenovo Applications are up to date.

    Okay, enough about the specifications and back to my problem.

    First time I saw the error I wasn't really noticing, since I wasn't on the laptop

    When he arrived. I have just returned to it and saw that it has been disabled.

    For 2 weeks, this error will occur on a random basis without any reason, that I have met:

    (1) computer laptop LCD goes black - laptop is not out yet (I let him play music in the background to make sure that.) The music continued to play)

    (2) music stops and continues to play again (as when the system is under a heavy load)

    (3) music finally stops

    (4) computer laptop LCD is to stay off and the laptop is simply turn off.

    So far I don't check for possible hardware problems.

    I did a complete reinstall of Windows Vista and just had a complete PC-Doctor 5 for Windows check running which showed no problems.

    For the next Checkup, I'll have a true memtest - the bootcd is right next to me already.

    Though I doubt it will give any other result.

    The fan is not a strike, but I'm having a temperature/voltage /-fan speed check every 20 minutes for a day, to see if that might show any possible suspicion running.

    After all, I thought that maybe someone here has an idea of what my problem might be subject.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A100 turn off without reason

    Hello

    I have a pro a100, which I think is overheating.

    It works for about 30 minutes then goes of and returns to the initial boot up screen "Toshiba" ect, tires to start then repetition of the foregoing.

    I blew the fan making dust and the air outlet and this has improved things, now works for about 90 minutes.

    I want to take the base off to clean properly but cannot find a service manual to tell me what screw screw.
    Anyone here a repair for this laptop, if yes would you be willing to email me a copy.
    It is now 'end of life' will continue to be a problem?

    I am qualified I have fix ECT of Blu - ray players.

    > I blew the fan making dust and the air outlet and this has improved things, now works for about 90 minutes.

    So, I think that the laptop is affected by the higher temperature.

    Clean the fans inside the laptop and assigning the new thermal grease might help.
    I found really useful page that might help you get some tips:

    But of course everything you make is at your own risk.

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 1800 - 752S - the screen turns off

    Hello world.
    I have a satellite 1800 - 752S.
    Since an ew months ithas a weird problem: the screen turns off. If I press and release the button the lid on what it is, but after that turns off again quickly. OT goes off sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. Sometimes it provides be when I run out of battery and bothers me on AC, sometimes against. It works fine, after I turn sleep or hibernation several times, and after a reboot, it bothers me. I've updated his BIOS for the lates on this site, which would not help. I guess it's a hardware problem, because it's the same problem under Linux, and I tried to install different versions of drivers and windows (not only the one of the recovery CD). Anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you very much
    Roman

    Hello

    I think you're right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try connecting an external monitor. If it works without problem while laptops, screen turns off, then it must be a hardware failure.

    I guess it's a problem with the FL inverter. You have to give your machine a service partner Toshiba for repair.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P840 screen turns off

    The screen of my laptop turns off without warning when I browse the internet or interact with any program. When he arrives, the power button is still on and I could still hear the sounds of the programs that I used or the buttons on the front lock screen has produced.

    Sometimes I get a BSOD. Also, before that happens often, I notice that my laptop freezes before he died. The only course of action open to me is to force my laptop shut down. However, I am worried if this would happen in a critical situation like an update.

    Initially, I would say that it would be interesting to know what Satellite P do you have exactly and what operating system you use.
    Problem described is quite strange, and it is not easy to understand what happens exactly and why.

    Since when did you notice this?

    I put t know what to do, but in my opinion you should backup all your data, reinstall the OS using HARD drive recovery option and after doing this, you will clean preinstalled OS and this shouldn't happen again. Of course, this is a more radical but certainly more effective method.

  • Satellite A210 - 17L - screen turns off

    Hello people,

    I have a similar problem to [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61255&tstart=15], screen turns off by itself randomly, but backlight remains lit and laptop always seems to work (judging by fan). This started after upgrading Vista to Windows 7 (new installation), there was no problem before. I tried to update the display driver, first ATI Catalyst, then Toshiba official one, the customer pays less often, but still doesn't work, it's nice embarrassing ;) It occurs regardless if the laptop is used or just slowed down and is not caused by overheating or saving energy, also cell is generally connected with mounted battery.

    I have the last opportunity to go and update the BIOS, but I'm in fear of bricking the thing, so he would try as a last resort.

    Any idea guys?

    Thank you

    Hello

    There is an easy way to solve this problem: connect an external monitor and check what happens. If everything is ok on the external monitor installation (Windows) and internal monitor are ok, the problem must be internal monitor itself.

    If it s the monitor itself it s inverter FL, LCD cable or LCD itself. That s is not easy to say on this virtual path for your laptop needs to be checked to an authorized service provider. Guys can make an accurate diagnosis.

  • On the Satellite A210-14 t LCD screen turns black randomly

    For several days, I have the problem, my lcd screen turns black all of a sudden, the 'photo' is just disappearing. but the backlight is still and the system is still running (which happens most of the time in battery mode)
    When I close the laptop, pc goes into stand-by mode and so I open the pc again and the screen works again
    But this isn't really a solution.
    What can I do? Fresh grafix drivers are installed.

    BTW:
    I use WinXP

    HM, how long do you want the machine. Maybe you should check the powersaver for battery operation parameters when the display is sharp because it can be a characteristic powersaver the screen turns off.

    If please check your powersaver settings and set the time when the screen turns off at maximum or turn it off, then check if the error appears again.

    Would appreciate the your part feedaback. :)
