• Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

  Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
  Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
  Have you tried the following:
  Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
  It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
  It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
  I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
  I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
  I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
  I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
  I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  > It turns on but not at all to see clear
  This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

  It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

  In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro A120 - screen flickers when you activate another monitor

  I have a Satellite Pro A120, who has a problem with the computer screen to turn off image poor qulity (looks like interference) when you use the function key and activate a second monitor, but the image on the 2nd monitor is fine. I also discovered that the second monitor doesn't have to be physically connected to the main display having the problem, as soon as you activate the second screen the problem starts. However, as soon as you disable the second monitor, the computer screen looks perfect.

  I updated the BIOS of these two and the graphics driver, but the problem still persists.
  Any ideas?

  Why don't you tell us what portable external that you use?

  Have you tried to put the good resolution of monitor 1 (s notebook LCD) after the switch to the external display? I can imagine LCD becomes bad resolution and it must be changed.

  Please play with all the display settings. I used my cell phone so many times with different external screens and I was always able to configure this works well in any mode offered.

• Question about change in ODDs region settings - Satellite Pro A120

  Why are there at - it limit the number of times, you can change the region settings when you watch DVDs from other countries? Why?

  They don't realize the world becomes smaller and is it possible to buy DVDs from anywhere in the world? They refuse to help the global economy? I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 with a carpet * a UJ841S optical drive that is locked on region 1, how can I get it unlocked and how do I get it so I can watch DVD so many different regions without having to be limited to the region of switching 5 times? Of course, I'm not the only person who feels this way, come on Tosh do something to help the consumer.

  Can anyone help?

  Published by: ADMIN

  Hi Paul

  What to say I put t understand this too, but there are some restrictions of manufacturers of different record companies and movie studios that don t allow you to change the region code.

  The world is divided into 7 regions of DVD.
  Region 1 - Canada and the U.S.
  Region 2 - Europe, Japan, Middle East and South Africa
  Region 3 - South and Southeast Asia
  Region 4 - Australia and South America
  Region 5 - Africa, the Russia and the rest of Asia
  Region 6 - China

  Readers of generation original DVD came with a firmware level that became known as RPC 1.
  RPC 1 discs themselves are able to play any region but depends on the installed Reader software to control which region is played.

  But most DVD players (* not matter what is manufacturing *) are equipped with the RPC-2.
  RPC 2 drives usually come with a limit of 5 change on the regions, once the counter reaches 0, your drive is locked permanently in the last region it was settled in.
  Even if you reformat or move the drive to another system, it will be always locked to the last region.

  Such a region code limitation is very annoying for everyone, but nothing to do
  Of course you will find many websites that provide any software programs and free non-legal area, but for the most part, these programs can damage firmware own disks and this would lead to bigger problems. In most cases readers cannot handle all mediums and can not read or burn to CD/DVD.

• Satellite Pro A120 - battery not found

  Hello

  Technical details: I have a Satellite Pro A120, purchased about four years, running MS Vista. A year ago I noticed my battery has been virtually exhausted and bought a new battery (this one, to be exact: [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0028NJAL2]). Since last year it worked very well and I have no reason to suspect that the battery itself might have a problem. Most of the time, I have the laptop plugged in, in any case.

  However, recently (last few weeks, I think) I started to have occasional problems when all of a sudden I am notified that the battery can not be found - or rather, there is no actual notification, but the power icon in the changes of system tray with a small red on it X, and then the computer hangs. The touchpad still works and I can move the pointer on the screen, but absolutely nothing else says and there is no way out next to a hard reboot. Sometimes, if I catch the icon change from time to time and unplug the power cord (force the computer running on battery), it actually corrects issues. Not always, though.

  Attempts to seek similar problem descriptions online were not very useful; most of the time, the description does not exactly fit my situation or the Seraph blames the battery or the operating system (which, in my case, to be as the wrong answers, since I said the battery generally works well, and I had the same OS from the start). Also a search of these forums did not have no useful result. I'll call my go - to computer store and see if their engineers have all the answers or if it's just the time to take the old horse pasture and find a new filly, but thought that perhaps the good people on this forum may be able to offer advice (additional).

  Thanks in advance,
  Yael

  I think that no one will be able to tell what's wrong exactly; I think it is s battery issue but of course, no one can say it it s battery maybe motherboard or just a software problem. OPERATING SYSTEM.

  Usually, the software should not affect the functionality of the battery and I think that it s more material associated.
  The laptop is a little old and the battery seems to be old too so I think that the battery needs to be checked first

• Satellite Pro A120 - wallpaper flashed black

  Hello

  I have problems with my laptop. I have a toshiba satellite pro A120, but for the last two days, the bottom of my screen flashed black from time to time. Usually, it blinks for about a minute then works fine for a few minutes then flashes again etc.

  Here is a youtube link to a person having the same problem I'm having. No solution while

  http://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=U6-q0eZ8ox8&feature=player_embedded

  All ideas are welcome.

  Thanks in advance,

  Shaun.

  Hello

  I agree with the user above. First of all, please check this work around on cable, graphics card, etc.

  By the way: what display driver you have installed right now? Sometimes I read here in the forum that no Toshiba display drivers problems, so I recommend you to install the latest version of Toshiba directly.

  Last but not least with an external monitor, you can check where the problem is: either internal monitor or graphics card but I think that, in both cases, you need assistance from an authorized service provider to swap the part.

• Satellite Pro A120 cannot start when the printer is connected

  Hi I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 but I'm having a very strange problem.

  I installed my printer - Epson Stylus Photo R300, but now the laptop will not start if the printer is on. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen comes ok, then the Windows XP screen comes with the black background when the blue bar to cross to load Windows but its all disappear and the laptop just hangs and will not!

  However, if you turn the printer off and turn the laptop it starts up fine!

  Its really the printer which is the cause as its only when I turned it on.

  It's never caused this problem with my old PC using Windows XP too.

  Any help with a resolution would be greatly appreicated.

  Thank you

  Adam.

  How to disconnect the printer during the boot process? ;)

• Re: Satellite Pro A120 - CD error appears

  I have problems with a laptop Satellite Pro A120. When the laptop is turned on it is possible to open the CD/DVD drive, so I know the drive functions.

  "However, when the laptop is turned on, the computer displays the screen"in touch with tomorrow TOSHIBA"for a long time, and then the screen goes black and the message CD ERROR" appears. Drive D and does not show on explore.

  I found the instructions to remove LowerFilters and UpperFilters of
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SYSTEM CurrentControlSet/Control/Class/4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318.

  by running "regedit", but during the restart, the laptop the problem remains.

  I tried also tried to launch the "Product recovery" CD from an external hard drive, but restarting does not account for the CD, but, once restart is completed, it can be seen that it that the external drive was saved.

  When the computer is disconnected on "memory which cannot be read" message is displayed.

  I would be very grateful for a quick response.

  Hey,.

  To be honest, if the CD-ROM error message appears before Windows starts, there seems to be a hardware malfunction. So maybe the CD/DVD drive is not recognized correctly, and therefore the Toshiba screen appears for a long time.

  Remove the caps and lowerfilters won't help you, it is a software based only

  You should look for a new CD/DVD drive. As a result, you can ask a service provider authorized in your country. They can offer you a compatible player. :)

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro A120 fails to load after upgrade BIOS and XP to Vista

  Help

  I have problems to make my laptop to load the Windows operating system. My laptop (no X6062917H series) was purchased in November 2006. I've recently upgraded the operating system to Windows Vista (Toshiba, Promotion) and was later to upgrade the BIOS of Toshiba.

  This was done via the Toshiba site, opting for the upgrade via the Windows option. Since the upgrade of the BIOS, I have used this phone two or three times, and now I can't use it at all.

  When I turn on the laptop now, all I have is a white screen with the arrow cursor. The cursor moves on the screen that I have spend my finger on the touchpad.

  I welcome any advice on getting my laptop to the top and running, my computer knowledge is limited, please make sure it is as easy as possible

  Thank you very much

  Mr. Gibbs

  It seems that you are using the Satellite Pro A120, which belongs to the series of PSAC1E.

  It seems that the laptop can boot the operating system because the arrow cursor appears on the screen.

  Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if you can switch the display to another monitor?
  It would be very interesting to know if it s a graphics card problem or the internal display problem

  If you will not be able to see something on the second monitor, I recommend trying to reinstall the operating system.
  But if it is not possible to reinstall the operating system, you will need to contact the ASP (provider) in your country for the control of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

  Can someone help me with this.
  My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

  I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

  I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

  It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

  Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
  Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

  Hey dude,

  Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
  There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

  The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

  In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
  All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

• Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E) - TV problem

  Hello
  My laptop "Satellite Pro A120 (PSAC1E)" computer does not connect to any type of TV (digital or analog). I tried many different kind of connections to SCART-VGA to VGA-HDMI. I think something is wrong with the VGA output because apparently the Intel graphic card supports the TV/monitor output as the software driver suggests. However, I can't connect the laptop to an external monitor rather easily and without hassle.
  Someone there has the same problem and if so, do you have a solution to this problem (everything!).

  Thank you

  KAV

  Hello

  As far as I know NOT ALL Satellite Pro A120 PSAC1E are equipped with the video output jack!
  I see you are using an external monitor connector!
  This port can ONLY be used with external display (screen) or a projector, but NOT with the TV!

  The TV can be connected to the s-video port that is not available!

• Satellite Pro A120 - no image on external projector

  Do you have a downgrade for win XP on Satellite Pro A120.

  If I connect to an external projector I no longer get a picture of it. I tried the shortcut key and it will turn off the picture on the LCD screen of the laptop so the keyboard shortcut works, more also tried manually via the graphic properties.

  The only time where an image of the projector that I have spend is when I restart, in which case, on reboot, I get a picture on the projector, but not the laptop. Then, when I try to switch to hot key or graphic accessories I can go back to the laptop but then can't get back the image of the projector on.
  If I leave the projector image and do not a hot key switch as soon as I make a stop the stop then displayed on both devices.
  I reinstalled the display driver and the drivers from the chipset, but without success.

  Can anyone help?

  LOL: D but it s good news
