Matte screen disappeared on Satellite Pro A200

I have a Satellite Pro A200 which works fine on an external monitor, but is very dull on the laptop monitor.
Anyone knows if it's backlit and if the lights are replaceable, or do I need a new screen?

FN + F5/F6 does nothing. Correct brightness with the software works on the external monitor, but not on the laptop.

Thank you

It could be a FL. inverter problem In the worst cases the problem internal display, but at this point, I suppose that it s inverter malfunction only an FL.

Recommend trying to replace the FL inverter first, since this part is much less expensive than a screen.

    The BSOD appears usually due to software malfunction serious matter or material.
    I think it s a software problem (driver).

    I presume that the BSOD appears why play games in most of the cases the graphics driver must be updated.
    If the XP driver from the Toshiba page will not help, you can try the graphics drivers on the www.omegadrivers.net site. 3rd third party drivers must run on your laptop. But note; 3 third-party drivers can be used only at your own risk!

    > Why standard ati.com display drivers do not work? (While on my laptop of friends with also hd2600 mobility radeon works fine).
    Cannot install the original ATI drivers on an easy path because this drivers don t support protection against overheating. Toshiba GPU drivers are slightly modified and support a protection against overheating. This protection is necessary and important as mobile graphics cards do not have large module of cooling as the GPU on to desktop computers.
    Temperature increases on the much faster laptops and so the driver graphic control performance of the GPU to reduce the internal temperature.

    That's why it of always advised and recommended to use the Toshiba drivers ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

    Hello

    I'm new to the forum and have a big problem.
    So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

    My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor.
    Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.

    I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
    The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
    Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

    Good luck

    Hello

    You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

    If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - no activity - nothing on the screen

    Hello!

    I have a lot of problems with the Toshiba Satellite Pro A200.
    Same problem for all: when you connect the power adapter led turns blue!
    When I press on "on" button the second led turns blue, the fan runs for a while, but there is not activity: nothing on the screen.
    No thing hard disk led...

    I have a lot of this problem with the Satellite A200. The motherboard is a LA - 3481P.
    I am an electronic engineer and I m specialized in laptop repair card main but I did not understand this problem.

    Can U help me telling me that maybe the defective chip?
    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I don't know if you saw that this forum is the forum of users and you should not wonder if nobody can give the exact answer. As an electronic engineer, you must know that no one can answer specifically and to find the good chip, you must run diagnostic tool.

    So I think that you need professional help. Try to contact nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer and ask for help.

    BTW: I am really interested about new comments here.

  • Satellite Pro A200: There's a problem with my screen

    Hi all

    I wonder if anyone can help. Just got a Toshiba Satellite Pro A200, when I cleaned the screen, I noticed that in the Middle at the top (the part under the webcam) pushes a little and squeaks. It's not normal, I'm wrong?

    Help, please!
    Thanks in advance,
    David

    It's not easy to tell if it of normal or not in most of the cases the ASP must check the notebook and then the technician could decide if a part needs to be replaced

    I recommend you contact the ASP in your country and ask for details as well as a control of the laptop.

    Hello

    Do you use the preinstalled Toshiba image?
    I ask because sometimes the BSOD can be caused by serious software problem. But to be honest, it looks like a hardware malfunction.
    In my view, the RAM modules could be affected

    I have a 6 year old using my laptop BSOD the BSOD appeared after several hours of use one I thought that it s a faulty RAM I replaced it, but the issue was not resolved finally I discovered that the temperature affected modules of RAM alone and the laptop froze and BSOD appeared
    Finally, I checked the grids of cooling and cleaned using compressed air jet that it helped

    But buddy note; This does not mean that your problem can be caused by high temperature. It s only a hypothesis, and in my opinion, a technician of the laptop should check the laptop to ensure that's exactly wrong.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA: need driver Lan and screen for XP

    Hey

    Please help me!

    I just installed XP on my new satalite pro, but I had trouble with the drivers.
    For the moment, I installed most but from this site, I can't seem to find a driver that will help my network card, or my video NIVIDIA player...

    any suggestions would be very valuable

    The Satellite Pro A200 PSAFCA is unclear to me. I know the PSAE1, the PSAE4 and the PSAE7Satellite Pro A200. So could you please confirm your Pro A200 series?

    If you do not find only XP drivers on the Toshiba page I would recommend checking the LAN and graphics chip installed on the motherboard and use drivers XP from the manufacturing of the chip.

    If you need a graphic driver, I advise to use the drivers from the site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com

    After frustrated with her, I did a full format my HARD drive and started from scratch. This does not solve the problem, and since then, the taskbar freezes. When I click on it I get the error and the hourglass cursor message "Windows Explorer is not responding... "I then have to click"restart", which makes the taskbar disappear for a few seconds before returning (usually without my sound icon).

    The laptop turns off when it is connected to the electric network with & without the battery and when running only on battery, so I excluded all power problem.

    I have considered it heats up too, but I use a block of cooling with built-in fans and has not himself in a few minutes after being hit not 24 hours, so I'm not sure that's the problem.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    I am running WIndows Vista Home Premium 32-bit if that's any help.

    I think that the problem of overheating.
    The fact is that the laptop would be down automatically stops in order to avoid that the pieces of equipment against damage.
    In most cases this problem can be solved very easily. Using a jet of compressed air, you can remove the dust from the cooling modules and fans.
    I clean my fans from time to time, because I noticed a higher temperature and the laptop was a little stronger.

    I guess you're meaning to this MS article knowledge base:
    [How to determine and to recover from Winsock2 corruption in Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, and in Windows Vista: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/811259]

    Well, I searched a bit around and discovered that the solution described in article 811259 doesn t help in all cases

    So searched the Web of the 3rd party site and someone has suggested to try these tips.
    It s also from Microsoft:

    If not, then you may be forced to reinstall your operating system, because the repair option is not included in the Toshiba Recovery CD ;(

  • Seeing white on Satellite Pro A200

    The screen of my computer (Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE7) became white and will not normalize. This happens as soon as the boot. However, other processes are underway normally. Currently, I have to rely on an external monitor or LCD projector to allow me to continue my work.

    What could be wrong and what can do?

    Hey,.

    > Currently I have to rely on an external monitor or LCD projector to allow me to continue my work.
    This means that an external monitor works properly, no?

    Well, there are two possible reasons: either the internal LCD screen is defective or LCD cable but the graphics card and the software are ok if everything works on an external monitor.

    You see a picture if you move the internal screen a little? So, you can check if there is a bad connection. If you are familiar with the disassembly of the laptop, you can open Notepad and check the connection also.

    An alternative you can also ask a maintainer approved assistance. Disassembly of the laptop is not a problem for guys so just get in contact with them. ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200 cannot connect to the wireless network

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 and Tuesday night I was able to connect to a wireless network. I received an update, rebooted and now it doesn t seem to work.

    I can see the wireless networks available via the Toshiba Radar but cannot connect to my usual wireless network.
    Also, the wireless network icon disappeared from my system tray and if I go to Control Panel/network connections, I can't even view available networks because there is no option to do so.

    Any ideas?
    the FN/F8 will work?

    I also tried to boot from the CD/DVD drive with the disk and computer repair recovery, how I get - a black screen with mouse cursor leading to the same message as to the approach of HARD drive recovery

    Given both fail this probable failure of HARD drive (I had a similar problem with my Dell wife to start up which is HARD drive failure)?

    Thank you

    Obviously, something is wrong with the preinstalled operating system and that you need to do is to install the operating system using Toshiba recovery image.

    First enter the BIOS settings and be sure the HARD drive is recognized correctly.
    Set the BIOS to default settings and start recovery image installation:
    Turn on the laptop and press F12 repeatedly
    When the start menu is shown recovery disc into the optical disc drive
    Press ENTER and follow the menu on the screen.

    If you will not be able to install the recovery image, it may be that the HARD drive is the troublemaker.
    Replacing the HARD drive is not a big deal, and you can exchange it only in just 10 minutes.
