Portege M600 - backlight switch location

The screen backlight is off and turns away. I can see the laptop when he ordered following a 2nd. I can very faintly see the desktop on the laptop screen - except that it's dark. I tried all the fixes software I can find in this forum, but nothing works.

A suggestion I found that the switch that disables the display when the lid is closed is stuck in the closed position. It makes sense, but how do I find this switch.

If it is incorporated into the display panel hinge?

> I can very faintly see the desktop on the screen of the laptop...
Have you noticed that from the moment you place the laptop (Toshiba homescreen) AND the BIOS settings?
I can't say for sure but I m afraid described problem has nothing to do with the software but with FL inverter. FL inverter may be defective and must be replaced.

  • Portege M600 - screenshot in stairs and noise

    My Portege M600 has a recurring injury.
    After that some time in the use of the screen suddenly shows columns about one inch wide and different colors.
    Looks like piles of parts varicoloured.

    The speakers emit a strong cry at the same time. We must hold down the switch OFF for a few seconds to shut down the computer. It will then start up normally but of course everything we worked on is lost.

    Some days she did this around every half hour!
    Other days, once or twice a day. Some days, not at all.

    I think it might be something to do with overheating.
    I have the back of the laptop has raised to facilitate airflow. Laptop is usually used on a desktop.

    The M600 is worth repairing?
    At what price maybe?

    Kind regards

    Hello

    A higher internal temperature malfunction of the laptop, and Yes, the symptoms described in your post above could be caused by a high temperature.

    Did ever clean you the fans in the past?
    Recommend doing this using a jet of compressed air. Dust inside the ventilation may prevent air from traffic and this leads to the higher temperature.

    Of course, the high temperature might be one of the reasons that may explain the origin of this problem however, check if fans of cleanup would help.

  • Portege M600 - nothing appeared on screen (after stopping on)

    Hello everyone, once again

    Yes, yesterday, everything suddenly I had no voice in my Portege M600. And today, I had no computer at all!

    I have no idea what is goin on. Yesterday, I've always used my laptop until about 23:00. And today, I tried to close it out around midday, but it was nothing appear on the screen. I pressed the button and the power light is on, and the light of the processor. But the light of CPU on just for a few seconds and once again off the coast. There was no noise that I use to hear when the processor is running. I leave for minutes, hoping that it will work. But it still didn't work. Then, I decided to take off the battery to shut it down, under duress.

    I tried to close again for 3/4 time. But it still does not work. Nothing appears on the screen. Just the light from the power and light of the portege symbol are on (well... as I have described the processor light is on, but for just a few seconds).

    What happened to my laptop?
    And how do I do now?

    For more information, I live in a town near Stuttgart (Germany). I googled Toshiba Service center is in Neuss, where Neuss is far from my place. And I'm on my week review now (so it's impossible to go to Neuss). So, what should I do?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello!

    Have you tried that?
    Remove the battery, unplug the AC adapter, wait up to 1 hour and then connect the battery and the AC adapter and try again.

    If you n t have success with this you should go to an ASP. That s a hardware problem and maybe something has exchanged.

    Good bye

    Hello

    I completely agree with Akuma you should try Windows 7 beta driver for the Chicony webcam from the Toshiba page we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

    But do not forget that Windows 7 isn't out yet so it s a little difficult to get drivers tested for it.

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens with the factory settings.

    Hello

    Let me give you a piece of advice: before you start a new topic, you should somewhat serach using the search function of the Forum. This question was asked 100 times, I think, or more.

    However, Toshiba doesn t CPU update laptops and you will lose the warranty. The motherboard and BIOS are configured for CPU preinstalled and no one is able to tell if it s support another CPU or not.

    I have the Toshiba Portege M600 with Vista Home Premium 32-bit SP.1. It is about 3 years old now. This for 3 months, I experience "no audio output device is installed" repeatedly. The first three times that I feel it, it's solve by doing:

    (- Installed realtek third occurrence; problem solved and last for a month)
    Yesterday again I have another occurrence of this problem. And this time, none of the foregoing strives to solve the problem. Now, I'm a bit desperate. Is he someone ever lived the same thing? I will very grateful if you are willing to share or have any suggestions on what I should do...

  • Portege M600: keyboard problem

    Hello

    My M600 just got a little problem (I hope) today.

    The 'x 'key' doesn't quite work. I have to press very hard to show the letter 'x '. It seems that the upper-left hand corner of this key is stuck, so he bends to the bottom right when I press on it. How can I solve this problem?

    I am located in Glasgow (G4 0JQ) and do not know if there are any office of maintenance here, but just know the nationalwide Service Pick-Up & return for laptops Web site. However, I prefer to deal face to face with the engineer in a few minutes, because I guess this isn't a big deal, isn't it?

    Thank you very much
    Ting

    Hi Ting

    What to say? You know that the best solution is ASP and finally change the keyboard. I really don't think you can fix it alone.

    I recommend you check out http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP. You will see where is the nearest ASP. Make a call and see what they say on keyboard problem.

  • Portege M600 - Volume icon has a red cross on it

    Hi all

    I need help to fix my laptop card. My laptop (TOSHIBA M600 on windows vista) basic as its original operating system works perfectly for the last 3 years. About 3 weeks ago the the volume icon in the lower right corner of the screen had a red cross on it. I am no longer able to listen to the lectures online, music, videos, etc. I opened the Device Manager and found no distinction between the like audio, video and game controllers. This happened after my friend installed a fake windows 7. Since then, I decided to buy and re-installed a professional legal window 7, but the problem persists. The volume at the bottom of the screen icon still has a red x on it.

    Kind people out there please help me... i'm a student and can't afford it which will be fixed by these expensive computer genius in the computer store. Also... If please use simple English lay when you give instructions or help.

    Thank you very much in advance
    Noelu

    Hey Buddy,

    Usually this mode Red Cross that there is no audio driver not installed or pilot is confusing until you already tried reinstalling the audio driver?

    What sound card you have installed?
    Normally, you can get all the drivers on the official website of Toshiba, but for an older model like yours, I guess to check the other pages. For example, if you have a sound card Realtek, check the Realtek page directly: www.realtek.com

  • Portege Z830 - backlight of the screen remains off after sleep

    Hello guys!

    As described in the topic, the display backlight remains always off when my PT225E z830 returns from sleep mode. It's the only backlight, because I can see the image weakly if I have the screen against a light. Also using FN + F7 does not alter this State. The only thing that works is to restart.

    Y at - it an update of the display driver? Or is there any workaround to get back the backlight of the screen?
    Moreover, the bios is up-to-date with the version v1.60.

    Thanks for the reply!

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem on the first day of use, or later?
    Have you changed anything, installed additional software or maybe your own version of the OS?

  • "No Audio output device is installed" on Portege M600

    Hi all

    I had this problem. Today in the afternoon, I was working with my M600 while listening to music. Suddenly, there's like a voice of vibrations... as "zzzz" voice. I was surprissed and decided to cut my music player (I use winamp) and continued complete my work. But, whenever I did by clicking on, this noise appeared with 'click' sound. So, I decided to turn off the PC.

    But now, I surprised because when I turn on my PC, there is "No Audio output device is installed" msg with the sign of the Red Cross on my speakers. I do not anything for the sound before. I have not installed anything. I have day my anti-virus, but that's all.
    This is not the first time happened. I had - a little - this problems twice but it was because I had windows update and I solved it by restoring the system.

    I did system restore, but it still won't work. I really need a help, since sound is so important to me!

    Have idea what had happened and how to handle this?

    Thank you in advance.

    Putri

    Have you tried to install a new sound card driver?
    You can find this driver on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    Of course, it could also be a hardware problem with your motherboard and/or the sound chip but try first to update the driver.

    The sounds you describe could also be a HARD drive problem.
    Look in the event viewer for errors.
