M5510 Precision screen flicker and BIOS

Am my precision m5510 last week. Was on 1.2.0 bios. Screen has been impeccable, and premiercolor is amazing.

Yesterday, I've upgraded to 1.2.10 new bios. Surprisingly, after I installed this new bios, I started to have screen intermittent flickering on the lowest brightness settings. It wasn't a pulse or regular blinking. It was rather like seeing micro flashes to a higher or lower brightness. Could not find a regular pattern in twinkle, completely random.

More visible on the lowest brightness, but I even noticed this a little glitter on the brightness longer too.

I lowered my bios to 1.2.0 and the problem disappeared! I'm sure that there is something wrong with the 1.2.10 bios. He says its supposed to fix the flashing screen (and question I never had in the first place), but instead, the new bios gave my computer flickering issues.

I currently have a Service request with Dell on the question, but I wanted to see if other reports of similar problems.

Thank you.

Hello

me and another person can also confirm this matter.

  • X 300 partial screen flicker and solid colored lines

    Hi all.  Just opened my X 300 tonight to find the lower left quadrant of the screen flashes and some colored in the upper quadrant, left-right lines.  Half right of the screen is visible but pixelated.  Anyone know if it's fixable?  Cowards, inverter cables?

    Thank you.

    It could be the LCD or the cable, but I would say that you repair the laptop through the Lenovo warranty Department. If it is out of warranty, you can still get guaranteed post-warranty service that costs a bit more than in the warranty extension, but much cheaper and easier that play you with it and accidentally damage anything important.

  • G580 screen flicker to black and heavy pixelation

    So I have a laptop G580 which is in good condition and recently updated.

    About a week and a half, I noticed that my screen flicker and would become very pixelated with color and sparkle black (I've included a photo). Usually, he would go back to normal, but occasionally, he would continue to flicker and pixelation. Move the screen does ' t affect the problem, restart sometimes helps, and I did scans of material that came back clean. (Programmes of work like nothing is wrong, it's just the screen) Nothing in my laptop seems to be brocken so I don't know what is happening.

    Please help because it seems to be happenong more often!

    That's what the screen would look like:

    If you can find a good shop 'good reputation' that offers you a free diagnosis, that may be your best option. Usually, it's a simple solution, if it is the LCD cable. If it is the graphics card, it's more expensive, but less than the cost of a new laptop.

    You can contact Lenovo directly to inquire about the warranty and if it will cover your current number before you pull the trigger on the repair.

    Good luck.

  • White boot screen then... Enter keys cmos and BIOS?

    At boot I have a totally white screen until after a minute, and I get Windows Welcome. Everything is fine in the case. I thought it was a default CMOS?  How to see startup messages, and which key that will allow changing the CMOS and BIOS? Tried F10, 2, 6, and same F8'm in safe mode? Hope I don't have to do a full restore? Thank you!

  • Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

    Hello world! :)

    Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
    The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

    I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
    Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
    So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

    With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
    Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
    The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

    So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
    (And sorry for my English)
    Thanks in advance! : D

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

    But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - blank screen suddenly and now empty start

    Therefore, given a laptop to take a look at, now the problem she has is that she played Sims one night and left the phone on during 10 minutes while she went downstairs, now when she returned the laptop screen was blank. She turned it off and back on again and the screen would just light up.

    I had a look myself and I can confirm that something is wrong, I asked if she had accidentally pressed any key on the keyboard is to say FN + screen off and she said that she had not.

    I plugged it up to my TV via the VGA port at startup and after leaving the laptop 10 mins and nothing, the laptop is booting, you can hear the fans and hard drive and the lights in the front are all to give a positive response but as above the custom of the screen lights up.

    Anyone able to help?

    Hmmmmm... strange.
    Try to start Notepad with AC adapter only, or only to the batteries.
    Unplug the two and leave it for a while and check if the same thing will happen again.
    You can try to remove the HARD drive and see if the laptop will start correctly (BIOS and Toshiba welcome screen).

    Do these small tests and post the result.

  • Toshiba and BIOS-satellite M30X power management

    Hello!
    I just installed XP PRO with Service Pack 2. I tried to install the Toshiba power management tool. At the end of the blue installation screen appears and the system restarted. I tried upgrading BIOS (windows flash) and hanged just after flash system started.

    Icouldn t restart even pressing the poweroff several seconds what is the problem? If possible answer also private e-mail [email protected]

    Hi Mam

    AFAIK for M30X that there is a new BIOS version (1.90).

    Please check this document and be careful.

    Very important is that your device must be connected to the power supply and DO NOT interrupt the BIOS update, because it can destroy the BIOS.

    Hello

    I can give you only a few suggestions;

    First of all, I think you should check if this issue would be seen on the external monitor.
    I guess this won't be visible but it s worth it to check out what
    If it is not visible on the second external monitor then I would say that the problem is related to the GPU (graphics chip).

    Of course updating the graphics card driver and BIOS update should be performed if the updates are available on the European driver Toshiba page

    If doesn't help t update software, then material should be checked by a technician of ASP.

    My laptop went crazy in the past two weeks because of the high temperature too
    In my country we have a temperature of 36 degrees C and cooling modules running all the time to cool the CPU and the GPU then maybe it s a question of temperature

  • Help! XP and BIOS problems! Satellite 2410

    Hi all

    I had trouble with XP Pro for a while and finally decided to reinstall XP Pro - easier said than done!

    My questions are:
    (1) how to access the bios so it starts from the CD?
    (2) once it reboots from the CD can just reinstall XP?

    Any help and advice is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Hi George,.

    Normally by pressing ESC when starting poster system BIOS load progress. You can try pressing and tenuous F2 which normally brings you to the CONFIGURATION of the BIOS screen and hold F12 that will take you to the SELECTION of BOOT menu, F8 will bring you to the boot option screen where you can select mode without FAILURE etc.

    Try to press F12 when the Toshiba start screen appears and see if you get the boot selection menu.

  • Qosmio G10: Blue screen shot and later endless reboot

    Hello!

    I found similar topics on this problem, but they were locked and left unanswered.

    My problem is this: I have not changed of _anything_ in the BIOS for a log time. I have not installed new software or hardware lately. And I have not damaged my computer or anything like that. A few days ago I read a Web page when my computer turns off suddenly. It turned on automatically, then it asks me how to restart... count up to normal restart... the blue screen of death... restarts, wonder how... I choose "Safe Mode"... BSOD. I press F8 and try all possible options, but the result is always the same.

    A blue screen indicates: "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" or something like that. I'll send more information about blue screens later and more machine ID.

    If someone has any idea what happed and how this could be fixed, do not hesitate to write.

    I can't access Windows and I won't use CD recovery (yet) because I need to save some data to the HARD drive first.

    I say it's all simply amazing. Graphics card a year ago broke down (blue/green vertical lines, fans are going full throttle) and now this! This is the 2nd time in two years when Qosmio brokes suddenly.

    Post edited by: ADMIN

    Ok. Here's some additional context information.

    My laptop Qosmio G10-105, model PQG10E-01D016FSR. After disassembly I was not able to access the windows more - not again. Several times that I managed to get into SafeMode so far, I was able to see the text "Safe mode" in every corner of the Welcome screen, but then it crashes. Once or twice the same in normal mode, Windows on the Welcome screen appears, but then it crashes immediately. In these crashes, blue screen says "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION" or 'PFN_LIST_CORRUPT' and landfills fysical memory on disk.

    If she does not get there and computer falls down at the beginning (even if the Windows loading screen) it restarts all computer instantly. Sometimes, he does not screen blue but says the following file is missing or corrupt: \WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\CONFIG\SYSTEM. This error can appear four or five times in a row then it tries to start normally, but blue screen crashes again.

    I can't find any logic in the accident, nor a way to avoid. It seems that various errors appear randomly. I would like to know if it is a crash HARD drive or something else. Other information are also welcome.

  • T520 keeps restarting before reaching the home screen of the BIOS

    Hello

    has obtained a T520 here (nVidia GPU) that reboots constantly and never reaches the home screen of the BIOS:

    -power LED button turns green

    -fan turns and optical drive is accessible

    -fan, the LED shuts off

    -pause of about a second and the whole sequence starts again

    This happens with the power supply and a battery. HARD drive is deleted.

    I already seconded the optical drive and the BIOS battery.

    Any other ideas? Would it be the result of a BIOS update failed? Or a few screws - up variables UEFI?

    Is there a procedure for recovery of crisis for the T520 update the BIOS for the boot block?

    Kind regards

    I have reflashed the BIOS area in the SPI flash (offset 0 x 500000, length 0 x 300000) and the error disappeared!

    BIOS version is 1.42, the source for the binary file was the. FL1 updated Win7 Lenovo BIOS file (same offset as shown above).

    The only problem was that the SPI flash came with WSON package, so I could not use the clip Ponoma and had to solder wires.

  • Yoga 2 Pro big screen flicker followed in black

    Hello

    Does anyone else get this problem? I don't think it's the same screen flicker that is experienced by a few others because of problems of auto brightness...

    It flashes black and then all cela turns is not responding after awhile... and although the video shows what is happening in a low light environment, I had this encounter for a beautifully lit place as well...

    Any thoughts?

    I've posted a copy of what is really going on google reader.

    Is this a case of problems of motherboard? I just got my laptop about 3 weeks ago.

    No chance for an exchange of 1-1?

    Can we go to the Intel Graphics Control Panel, press power button and then go to "on battery" tab. 'Panel auto refresh' option is enabled? If it is then disable it. This option makes the Board consumes less power, gives better battery life, but there the exact symptoms every now and then.

    If you have installed Yoga graphic driver actions then download the most recent Intel, install it and turn this option off.

    To install the new driver, you have to uninstall the old, otherwise it will not allow you to install a new. To uninstall it go to Device Manager, display the properties of the driver, uninstall button driver.

    If this does not work then I don't know, is probably a hardware problem better trying to get a replacement.
