On the Satellite 1800-921 black screen problem

Hello
My satellite 1800-921 has started to give me a black screen after I turn it on. It loads well, go to the desktop and then the screen turns white and I can't make it respond. We can just distinguish the dialogs on the screen so I don't know if it is a screen problem or things I see on the screen are just ghosts...
It's a bit worrying!
Does anyone else have this problem? So far, it seems to happen when I turn it on. Usually, I have to turn it off and reboot to get it back and then it works very well.
Thank you
Nancy :)

Hello

to the old series, it may be that the FL inverter is broken or damaged the tupe of backlight. In both cases, you can see the screen but without backlight!

To differi if it is a hard - or software error, you should start the laptop and ESC immediately to enter the BIOS. Then the machine must be running half an hour in the BIOS. When the rupture occurred it is quite sure that some hardware is broken. Otherwise, it is a software based and a restore with recovery CD Toshiba should solve the problem!

Goodbye, TOK

  • Satellite 1800: switches black screen

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800, who is, like me, getting on a bit! It was bought in 2000 but was not excessive.
    Recently, the monitor began to play up and go suddenly completely black. I checked the manual to get it back, I press Fn + F5 and it comes back even if sometimes it takes a few pressings.

    Anyone know why he started to do this and is there a way to fix it. I'm dead for fear that one day he simply come back not at all.
    I am a greeny total when it comes to technology.

    Well, it's not easy to say why the laptop doing something like this automatically.
    The FN + F5 option is responsible for switching between display devices and you can use it if you want to get a display on the external monitor or TV.

    I can only speculate on the problem and first of all, I would say you accidentally used this function or applications that control it are corrupt.

    You could try to reinstall the display driver and other utilities from Toshiba.
    May I ask what is the duration of the operating system running on the laptop? Maybe a new installation help

  • Satellite 1800-921: antenna integrated behind the screen?

    Can someone tell me if the Satellite 1800-921 has an antenna behind the screen?
    Thank you
    Peter

    I guess you mean a kind of antenna? As far as I know behind the screen is placed antenna WLAN for supported models with WLAN connectivity.

    I wasn't able to find info on Satellite 1800-921, but if the unit is supplied without WIFI I guess that there is no WLAN antenna behind the screen. By the way: I believe that the Satellite 1800 series is delivered without a WLAN option.

  • Satellite A105-S4114 - black screen, maybe the heating problem?

    Hey all

    I'm new to the Board and I really hope that someone can help me with my computer problems.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4114. In the last week or so, it started to get a black screen. If I m in the middle of watching a video, the sound would just go to a repetitive tone (very annoying sound) and the screen freezes completely.

    He sometimes goes to a black screen. The screen is not black as if the CPU is off but it's dark and nothing is displayed. This occurs when the computer has been for a little. I have had it over 2 hours now, and if this problem persists, it will happen more frequently. I've updated all the software and windows xp. Some people tell me that my motherboard is dying and I can't do anything, but some people say maybe it's an overheating problem.

    The vent on the left hand does not always give off light, but the laptop gets hot enough. Is it possible that my fan is dying? In the case of this "black screen", the computer is not power down and for this reason, I ve people had told me that he is not an overheating problem.

    Any ideas?

    Help, please. I sprayed the CPU down to the dust, and it has gotten a little better. I hold hope that I don't need to buy a replacement right away. I've had this for about 3 years.

    Thank you, Danny.

    Hey mate,

    I think that for the moment no one can really say what the reason, but I also think it might be an overheating problem and you should start cleaning your laptop first. The point is that if the laptop is overheated (e. g. graphics card), you might get a black screen, freezes or your laptop stops immediately. So if please try to clean and follow these instructions: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

    Of course it could also be a motherboard problem but the laptop cleaning is cheaper and quicker ;)

    If it doesn t work you can access a service provider authorized professional assistance.

    Try to restart your machine and pressing F8 before the spash screen Windows appears.  Choose the option "last last known good configuration".

  • Re: upgrade memory for a Satellite 1800-921 PIII 1.1 GHz...

    I am trying to find the memory upgrade for my Satellite 1800-921 PIII 1.1 GHz... Part number: PS183E-00HTT-EN.
    The vehicle is currently a Nanya 256 MB SDR 133 Mhz - CL3 and I undestand it can be upgraded with an additional 256 MB card.
    The only problem is that I can't find a compatible! Any ideas what's need & where I couldn't leave?

    Hello

    The compatible module is PC100 256 MB with PA3069U - 1 M 25 part number.

  • Satellite A215-7437 - black screen

    User of the new forum here. We have a Satellite A215-7437 who recently began to exhibit the dreaded question 'black screen '.
    When I did some research last night, I discovered that there is an update of the BIOS 1.9 for the major part of the A21x line which has solved this problem - but it is not compatible with the 7437 which can only be updated to 1.8 (which I applied, discovering that the laptop was still at 1.0).

    Update BIOS 1.8 documentation does not mention the 'black screen' issue and its release date is prior to the update of the BIOS 1.9, then I fear that Toshiba has forgotten to release this patch for the model 7437 or wrongly assumed that the 7437 does not suffer from this problem (the boards consensus seems to be that the bug was in the whole of the A21x range).

    Can someone Toshiba explain this issue?
    My wife uses its Satellite for evanescent subcontracting and loses the job when his cell phone freezes like that, so an explanation and/or to come fix would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Firstly if it seems you are a newbie and don't know that this is a user to user forum.
    If you want to hear something guys from Toshiba, you must contact the Toshiba. Here we can give you some advice

    I think you mix something; your laptop is an American series. It looks like a mobile phone American due to the 5 in the model number.
    If you need updates to the BIOS, you will need to perform a search on the page of the Toshiba driver we.

    Second, I put t know what you mean by black screen problem but I recommend to check whether your operating system is up-to-date. Check if you can update the graphics driver and check the BIOS of Toshiba page we,

  • Satellite 1800-921-Maximum extension

    I have a 1800-921 Satellite running Windows XP. It starts and works fine, but as soon as I put the antivirus software on it slows down to a crawl. I want to improve its performance, but have the recommended Maximum 512 MB system memory. Can I wear this in any way to make the laptop run faster?

    The hard drive has been defragmented and 8 of it is 20 GB free.

    Is there anything else I can do?

    It will be interesting to know what antivirus you have installed on your machine.
    In my opinion the best anti-virus is AVIRA antivir. He doesn't need a lot of resources and works perfectly on Windows XP Home edition.

    Back to your question.
    I know for sure that the Satellite 1800-911 can be upgraded up to 1 GB of RAM, so I think that your Satellite can be upgraded to 1 GB.

    Seems that the laptop can not find the bootable source.
    This means that the HARD drive is malfunctioning or the boot sector is defective.

    By the way; have you tried to change the boot order in the BIOS?

  • Satellite 1800-921 material updates

    Hello

    My daughter received a Satellite 1800-921, but it needs to be updated.

    I need to allow him to become compatible wireless and also update the RAM.

    In addition, they are easy to do?

    Thank you

    The update of the RAM is possible. You can update for max max 1024 MB and these modules can be used:
    PC100 256 MB (PA3069U - 1 M 25)
    PC100 128 MB (PA3005U)
    PC100 64 MB (PA3004U)

    The situation with the WiFi network is a little different. The laptop does not support any card of minPCI of WLan and the internal upgrade isn't possible.
    But you can use a USB WiFi key or a PCMCIA Wlan card.

    Satellite 1800-921 simply uses modules SODIMM 144 pin PC100 and you should check out some offers from online dealers.
    I m you will find something interesting!

    Oh the laptop supports max 512 MB and that's why you can use modules of 2 x 256 MB max.

  • Two Macbook Pro, both does not start up, when I press the power button, I hear two disc bit Caryl, I see little light on the front on the displasy release button, black screen, no edge

    It was weird because I've NEVER had two computers have the same problem before. They are the model 2008 2.2 Ghz Core 2 Duo, 6 g of RAM, models of 128 GB of hard drive, the two Yosemite running, both had new hard drives, cables, batteries and RAM installed OWC (Apple approved reseller) and I use Macs for at least 20 years. In about a week, one just blacked out while sitting on my desk doing nothing, the other does the same on a week later. When I press the power button, I hear the drive hard hum twice, then all I get is the little light on the screen release button, that's all. Black screen. fails, nothing. I can press the power button and it will fit off the coast. Is it possible that some of them have infected somehow, or possibly send me the malware that has infected my system? I would not normally only, but for all of them to go down to one right after the other with the same problem just made me think, it must be the same cause, but what?  I had been in a war of fire recently with very ugly people, and I've never seen two Macs have the same exact problem in a row like that right.

    I took readers on the Macbook Pro, put them on sleds and threw them in my PowerMac, and both seemed fine, no problem, started well upward, ran utility disk on them, no problem, so I started to the checklist. Reset the PRAM. Nothing. SHIFT key at startup. Nothing. D at the start. Nothing. V order at startup. nothing. I wouldn't mind even their evisceration and making a portable useful with the parts of the two, but until I find out what the problem is, what can I do?

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it, I've supported every button I can think at the start, tried an inch USB key, boot and disk, this is the same Caryl bit both of the car, no chime, black screen, that's all.

    Thanks for your help.

    I don't think they are infected.

    The startup chime indicates that the Mac has made the initial diagnostic tests and there is no hardware problems or fundamental software.

    No edge in your case is a problem.  I think it's the luck of the draw to have 2 failures.
