Low screen on Satellite P200 - 103-> FL inverter or backlight malfunction?

Hello

subject is fairly free but explanatory thought I'd check here.
To sum up: off my laptop, one night, no previous problems. To turn on the next mornign and nothing on the screen, can just about making a light screen image, but not enough to see pointer etc.

Quick search on google shows backlight or inverter. Repair shop, said ups but you want £300 to fix. Someone else has had this problem and it was repaired. Seems a little hard knowing that I can get the part for less than £50.

Is there an accurate way to know if i's the inverter or backlight?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello

I agree with chain. Without adequate control, we can only speculate what the problem may be. Which laptop model you have?

    Thanks pauline

    Hi Pauline,

    The usual cause of a light screen (where the screen is not visible about) is an FL inverter has failed. This a small device that is responsible for providing lighting for the LCD screen when the laptop is turned on. Luckliy this component is not too expensive, then I suggest that contact a repairer authorized to extract your laptop.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite P200: Screensaver does not start on Vista Home Premium

    Hi people!

    I tried to apply the option on my laptop screen saver (Satellite P200), equipped with Vista Home Premium, but it does not; the laptop everything continues to run after the game of elapsed time. Is this a known problem with Vista? All suggestions received with gratitude, thank you!

    ChrisB

    Hello

    Can I ask you if you use the Microsoft wireless mouse?
    I discovered that this may affect the functionality of the screensaver on Vista OS.

    Strange!

    Then maybe you should check out this MS article:

  • Satellite P200 screen is eventually died - now very dark

    Hello

    My laptop screen (Satellite P200) is eventually died.
    He had been much flicker when opening the laptop but settle.

    The screen is very dark and you can see just the windows etc. I can't connect a second monitor and run from that.

    -Is the screen, backlight went?
    -I'm out of warranty, how long does it take for an extended warranty through? The site has offered me one for relief.

    Any information would be great.
    Thank you
    Simon.

    Hello

    First you will not get an extended warranty, if you haven't bought it.
    If you warranty is no longer valid, then you will have to pay for the repair.

    Now a few words about your question;
    I think that your FL inverter is dead. The problem described in job ads seems to be a fault of inverter FL. This small part controls the backlight of the screen and causes this problem.

    I recommend contacting the technician of laptop (certified partner) and I will ask the Fl inverter assessment and if necessary I would work out a replacement.

    Good bye

  • Satellite U840T-103 - touch screen stopped working

    Hi, I have a Satellite, U840t-103.

    The touch screen has stopped working earlier.
    I don't know why.

    I think I have been juggling the project button, but I still can't get it to work again.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Touch screen don't need any special driver of Toshiba.
    The driver is already part of Windows 8 / 8.1
    That is why I don't think there is a software problem, but of course, I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc just to check if this procedure would allow the touchscreen feature once more.

    This is a first common procedure in case something bad would happen to the laptop or the system.

    But if the system recovery doesn't help, the laptop must be verified by the service provider allowed for possible hardware malfunction. But let's hope, the recovery procedure would solve your problem.

  • Satellite P200 - minimizing on its own screens

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Satellite P200 - 1 K 8. I'm having a problem with the screen pages minimize while I'm surfing the net / opening files, etc at random times?
    It's pretty frustrating - and I'm not sure if this is a Vista issue or the laptop itself?

    Someone at - it experience of this or had the same problem?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help with my question!

    Jay

    Check the touch pad settings, go to control panel, Classic view - mouse, then player settings and click settings for the touchpad. Then go to the box 'type' and disable tapping.
    "tapping" allows you to activate the touchpad to do different things when you tap the corners.

    (at least it worked for me on a P200-1EE)

  • Re: Vista doesn't show log on screen - Satellite P200-1K9G

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200 1K9G.

    When I start my laptop, watch the boot screen, then the Vista loading screen displays and then not much after that, sometimes, I get my mouse cursor appears, but that's all.
    I can't open a session, because the log on screen simply does not appear.

    I fear that this may be a hardware problem... rather than a problem with Vista, although I have not made major changes that should affect the way it starts. I did however, download the latest ATI drivers, but after a reboot, it doesn't seem to be a problem.

    In addition, my laptop recently started producing a static sound if no sound was produced through a program, i.e. iTunes.

    I tried to start in Safe Mode, but my knowledge of computers is limited, can someone help me?

    Kind regards
    Trib

    Hello

    You can try using the Advanced Boot Menu.
    If you press F8 immediately after that the laptop was turned on then an advanced boot menu should appear offering boot options more.

    One of the options should be the last known good Configuration (Advanced)
    Check if you can use this option.
    More details can be found here on this page of MS:
    http://windowshelp.Microsoft.com/Windows/en-us/help/f9c50a72-04EC-4088-9fd4-a4f979eef5a71033.mspx

    But in the worst cases, the laptop must be recovered again.

  • Satellite P200-1JV - screen begins to blink in different times

    Hello!

    I am owner of a Satellite P200-1JV since last week and three days ago I had a strange problem.
    My laptop * screen starts flashing * in different times.

    The flash frequency increases by 3.4 times to 10 +.
    In addition, the number of times to flash occurrence increases significantly.

    The blinking persists even if I do * not * activate any program.
    All programs are by default.

    Everyone knows the same problem before? Any solution?
    The graphic problem (ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600)? Or is it a manufacturing problem?

    Could you please help me?
    Thanks for in advance!

    What do you mean by manufacturing problem?

    It very difficult to imagine that how the display flashes or what might the case these flashing but it certainly looks like a hardware problem.

    If its hardware issue you will need to contact a technician from Toshiba for a fix. I think it's clear

    The P200 seems to be a new laptop and my knowledge, the guarantee must cover all
    So, don t waste time and ask an ASP in your country for a control from laptop

  • Satellite P200 - 14: nothing on the screen when the power

    Hello

    I have Satellite P200 - 14 h, and a few days ago I started having a problem power on my lap.
    I press the power button / stop, all three LEDs light up, battery, power supply and the first that shows that the adapter is plugged.

    Now my problem is that the Satellite txt is not lit, and nothing indicated on my screen.
    It's the mouth vent, black, on the bottom of the laptop, spin for a couple of times, and they stop

    Does anyone know how to fix this
    Thanks to 1 million...

    Sounds like a serious problem of material.
    Please don t understand me wrong. This is only my personal opinion... If you want to know exactly what's wrong and then the laptop must be controlled by an ASP.

    But try this first before you contact the ASP.
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    Wait about 30 minutes and then reconnect the two parts.

    Try turning on the laptop computer.
    If that does not help, ASP is your next step

  • Satellite P200-P100 - black screen after an update of Windows 7

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200-P100 running Windows 7.
    A few weeks ago after an update of Windows 7, my monitor would not show any image, that she lit up, but still no picture. Not even the BIOS it will appoint.

    I fixed it by using the system restore using a different monitor. The same thing happened again today, I must have ran the same update, but this time a system restore does not, any more than to reinstall Win 7.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you
    Spre3

    Hello

    You mean you don't see anything about internal or external monitor, even switching of the output of the screen by pressing the FN + F5 buttons?
    Hmm. in my opinion has nothing to do with the Windows 7 update

    I mean the update/install of Win 7 OS should not affect the BIOS and you should be able to access the BIOS, even if no operating system is installed on the HARD drive!
    So I guess the question could be linked to the question of the motherboard or some parts placed on the motherboard

    Have you tried that?
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    Then wait a little (1 hour) and then reconnect the two parts.
    Then try to turn on the device

    If this will not help the RAM modules must be verified.

  • Satellite P200-1BA: blue screen after installing Bluetooth (BT 7.1 stack)

    Hello

    I would like that you suggest me solving this problem. I installed Win 7 on my laptop TOSHIBA (satellite P200-1BA). and installed all necessary drivers downloaded from the official website. But only the bluetooth driver produces the problem. When I install it, first it appears driver installed successfully, my intention to restart. After rebooting once windows starts (desktop appears) all of a sudden blue screen and the computer restarts again and again with blue screen that appears until I have disable bluetooth.

    Anyone who encountered this problem too, or that someone has an idea on his reason?

    It's very strange. I've installed several times on different models with different operating systems and all went well.
    Are you sure you are using the 32-bit version for 32 bit OS?

    What operating system is preinstalled on your laptop?

  • Increases brightness screen Satellite P200-1EE

    Hello, I received by Satellite P200-1EE with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Some time ago I found that the screen itself become very bright. Usually after one or two hours, sometimes faster after coming back from the screen saver. Yet it's brighter, then I can set up using windows options or functional keys, I see not too much on the screen then. What can cause this problem?

    I hope that there is no hardware problem. Help, please.

    Hello

    This means that the brightness of the display will change automatically?

    Well, it's really hard to say why this is happening. Normally, you set a certain point for the brightness of the screen in each power profile, for example, symmetrical or optimized battery.
    Check it!

    Also, make sure that all Windows updates are installed.
    In addition, I would recommend updating BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite P200 - 10G screen turns white cause driver

    I was gifted a Satellite P200 - 10G, works great so far, only if I try to install the graphics driver (Intel 945 G), both that of intel and Toshiba one my screen goes black on each Windows (XP, Vista, Win 7, Win 10). It works with the standard Win drivers (except Win7).
    Any ideas why this is happening. And maybe a workaround?

    Regardings

    mindscraper

    If I understand the question, the laptop works properly using the standard Windows graphics driver that is part of the system and standard resolution (I guess that 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768 or something like that).

    But after the installation of the driver graphics card, black laptop display changes and nothing is visible on the internal display. Right?

    This happens also in the external screen/monitor?
    Check it out

    But to be honest, the question looks like a malfunction of the graphics card.
