  Unlike Windows XP (not sure on Vista), Windows 7 does not recognize he entered occurs when I use my controller. For this reason, my screen goes black every few minutes, as he would if I left the computer entirely. How can I get Windows to recognize the controller as input device, in the way that my keyboard and mouse?

  I am aware that I can just turn off the screen saver, or remember to touch the mouse every few minutes. But workaround solutions, not solutions.

  I just want to clarify the step 2 for everyone because he left me scrathing my head for a minute. Ignore the real joystick listed in Device Manager and expand Interface devices. In this list, you should see HID-compliant game controller. Make a right click Select properties, then continue to step 3.

  hope that this clears up any confusion as if I had.

  I thought it was the standby screen so I changed the setting to 60 minutes, but still the screen goes black after 15 minutes of watching the video.

  If I move the mouse whenever a whilte (entry reachs 15 minutes) the screen becomes black ever so I move the mouse every time some time when I look at something more than the 15 minutes. but I don't want to get up from the couch every 10 minutes so please help change me the setting so that the screen is not black.

• iPhone 6 screen goes black randomly. Hard reboot solves the problem temporarily

  Hi all

  My iPhone 6 screen goes black randomly (usually during sleep) and when it happens, the fact response to touch or no sound. I know that the phone is on because I can always call another phone and it sounds on the line, but as I said the iPhone does not ring. Hard reboot (press home + power button for a while) will not solve the problem immediately after the restart, but after some time (hours or days), it goes black again and I have to do the same thing.

  No idea why this is happening? Is it a software or a hardware problem?  I'm really curious to know how to restart the phone resolves the problem.

  I am not able to take it to the bar of the kind of these days because of my busy schedule. I wonder what they need to replace when I take it to the store.

  Please, share your ideas.

  Thank you

  Sounds like a problem of software for me, especially because it forces is a troubleshooting step software, and you say that solved the problem (of least temporarily).

  However, I still think that the Genius Bar would be a good idea. They have access to diagnoses that are not accessible by the user, who can easily identify which applications or processes are causing the problem. I think that they can also do this by phone, but I rarely call support so I am not sure.

• Satellite P100 - the screen goes black

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P100 and randomly, the screen goes black but the system continues to operate. I downloaded the latest drivers from toshiba, all power options the maximum support, run ccleaner and driver Sweeper to remove the old entries driver, re-installed the login screen of the mobo and nothing seems to work.

  The screen goes black sometimes when using windows but STILL turns black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Model: Toshiba Satellite P100-PSPA6A-02NO21
  Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200@2GHz
  GPU: Nvidia Quadro nvs 510 m
  Chipset: Intel i945PM
  HARD drive: Fujitsu 148GB
  RAM 2 GB
  Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 operating system

  Hey,.

  > ALWAYS goes black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.
  This means that the graphics card is defective

  Theoretically, it could be an overheating problem too. Higher time can also cause a black screen. You should try everything that is possible to clean your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

  If it doesn t help it seems to be a hardware malfunction but seriously a point would be interesting: have you noticed the same thing with preinstalled OS (Vista) Toshiba?

• Satellite L405D-11V - freezes and the screen goes black when you watch the video

  OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

  I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

  However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

  Its still under warranty, I bought the laptop from the Comet, but I really don't want to send the laptop for repairs again and find it comes back with the same fault, is it interesting sending distributed, maybe see if the comet will replace the laptop as its still less than a year to buy the laptop, or it'll just be useful to save all the hassle and buy a new laptop? If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
  What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

  To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

  In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
  If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

  If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
  Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)

• my screen goes black when I plug in my HDMI cable

  I have never had a problem with the help of my my TV HDMI cable to watch movies from my laptop.  I do not know whether the windows update is causing this problem, but when I plug in my HDMI cable to my laptop, the screen goes black and the TV receives no signal.

  Hi, I had the same problem when I plugged the hdmi for the first time that I chose the 'graphics options-> output-> TV' at first by right-clicking on the desktop. Later I selected "change pc settings" section of charms and the selected tab devices add a device and while the laptop was looking I have connected the hdmi cable. This is how I got to the TV screen.
  probably, you will need to turn off the TV and the laptop first. Then put on the tv and select the desired hdmi option before you put on the laptop and pressing on the ' logo window + p "or"fn + f4"keys. Lets c if it works

• Satellite A210 - screen goes black without any reason!

  I got my satellite A210-171 for a few years and a few months ago, everything was OK.
  But our when I'm working or watching a web my screen goes black and nothing seems to work?
  The only way around this is to turn off the power switch on the laptop then restart it again.

  I then get a message saying roughly...
  Computer has not closed properly OR sound closed to protect all data, then a countdown begins to re open!

  It may be OK for a few hours or maybe a day there is no limit of time on it!
  If anyone can help I would be very grateful, but please don't use of computer jargon that I don't understand

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem. It could be a hardware malfunction or a software problem.
  But as Auma says you should test the RAM with Memtest86. It's really very easy to use and can detect modules memory defective RAM check it!

  Another question is have you installed a different display driver or updated? I ask this question because the display drivers they are not causing Toshiba sometimes of questions.
  In any case, I would recommend updated display driver and check the site Web of Toshiba for a update.

  And before moving on to an authorized service provider reinstall you Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. So you will get back factory settings and with these settings, your laptop should work fine.

  Good bye
