Portege R830 - screen problems

HI -.

I need some advice.
You just bought a R830-138. Must say - I'm not too impressed with it so far [had a M300 before which was great - and it is about emerge I would like some advice on.

When powered on battery or sector - and when the screen brightness down to one of the lower three levels - I follow the cursor on the screen - there is a soft fl1cker present.
This only happens or the first seconds after I move the cursor - then it stops.
It is then very well unless I leave the laptop only for a few minutes - then once again - I get the fl1ckering for the first few seconds when I move the slider.

It is very distracting.

I see that the latest BIOS [which I have not yet implemented] is supposed to heal a fluctuation when using an external monitor [obvously not the case with me].

I updated the drivers from Intel screen [to the latest versions] - but again - no cure.

When the screen is set to higher levels of light intensity - the fl1cker seems not to be there.
However it may simply be masked by the greater brightness.

I don't think my eye is particularly sensitive - but it's a terrible distraction.

I wondered if it is a question of power settings - where the laptop is trying to be smart and to adjust the brightness of the screen/power automatically. So I have modified the standard settings [and renamed it]. I turned off the Toshiba eco utility. All with no success.

Any ideas anyone?
If it is a normal behavior - I'm not very impressed!

PS. is - that someone at Toshiba can explain when I couldn't post my message of origin because of "profanaity". No present! Is that what I tried to use the word 'fl1cker '? [Note of the substitution of '1' for 'i'. Ridiculous!

> When the screen is set to higher levels of light intensity - the fl1cker seems not to be there.
> However it may simply be masked by the greater brightness.

So in this case, I would say that this has nothing to do with the BIOS, show driver or other software.
It is really hard to tell what could cause this flicker
But the fact is that, for most (but not all) views the FL Inverter control the backlight and perhaps defective FL inverter causes this

However, it is only the suggestion so I think you should get in touch with your ASP (partner) and a technician must check what that s my personal opinion

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure of what could be the problem exactly. There may be something wrong with the FL inverter, but it is my personal suggestion.
    To get a detailed fault diagnosis audit specifications would be necessary.

    > Is it possible to fix this screen to warranty service?
    If you warranty is valid that everything should be done for free just contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  • Satellite R830 screen problem - dead pixel

    Hello

    I have a Satellite R830, I haven't used the laptop a lot since the purchase 2 years ago but I have several white spots on the monitor (8 + areas). I suspect that these may be hot spots of pixel, but I've tried all kinds of software and even slight pressure repair but nothing seems to work.

    Someone at - it Advisor on methods to try to resolve this problem or am I resolved to try to get this repaired?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You can not fix it
    In this case the display must be replaced.
    But I guess that the guarantee is no longer valid, so you pay for the replacement.
    I think that it is not worth.

    I also found information on the technology screen and tolerance fault pixel of the LCD poster

  • Portege R500 screen problem - some artifacts appear

    Hello world

    I bought the R500 at the end of August 2008 and from the beginning I had problems with my laptop screen.

    Indeed, after two days of use I see it on the screen an artifact as if something had hit.
    Of course not ;) so I called the support number to replace the notebook (less than a month after buying it).

    I get a new, and I checked the screen immediately. Perfect, no artifacts and everything seems to be good...

    But for 1 month (end of November), I saw again new artifacts! In fact, the artifact are really visible if you don't look at the screen perfectly in front of me. Indeed, in this position, the objects are less visible...

    So my first question:
    -Someone else you have this kind of problem?
    -I have to contact TOSHIBA support to replace my screen once more?

    ... It's really frustrating to buy a laptop more than 2000 at a society that says to had produced solid and have twice the same problem...

    Thanks for you comments and help...

    Hello

    I've got 3 different laptops Toshiba, but something like that never happened to me.

    I think you should contact the ASP from Toshiba (certified partner) and should ask verification of the laptop / screen again.
    It certainly looks like the issue of the material and the affected part must be checked and replaced.

  • Portege R830 had dead blue when the screen connects to wifi or shared internet

    It seemed began as soon as the automatic update from Microsoft on Qualcomm, Atheros, every time when connect to any WIFi, share internet, my portege R830 shows blue screen and the following error message:
    unhandled system_thread_exception (athwb.sys)

    I found that I am not the isolated on the Web site. I tried to remove and stop updates. However, once I connect to the internet, the blue screen comes back.

    Is the problem because of the network adapter? The model is Qualcomm Atheros AR9002WB
    Can solve the problem if I download the new driver of Qualcomm-Atheros site? Or if I replace a new adapter?

    The athwb.sys file belongs to the Atheros wireless driver. Usually placed in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\athwb.sys
    It seems that in your case this file causing the BSOD.

    I found a very interesting detail about this problem and why it seems.

  • Portege R830 - problems of 3G connection after installing Win 7 32 bit

    Hello

    I went down a Portege R830 Windows 7 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit with drivers of Toshiba. I put a SIM from my provider.
    In the windows Network Manager, 7 and in the Toshiba Wireless Manager I can see the right provider and HSPA network but when I start the connection, it does not (I don't have a PIN code).

    It is failed with Windows 7 Network Manager and Manager Toshiba wireless (I don't have this problem with the Portege R700 windows 7 32bits)

    But I found a small solution (but I think that's not enough):
    I have created a dial-up connection, with a number * 99 #,.
    I started the connection, it does not happen, but after that, when I raise my first connection is good.

    I don't know why, it's as if the modem is in sleep and the dial-up connection wake-up the modem, because after all is good (win7 Network Manager, Manager wireless Toshiba) so if I reboot the Portege.

    I want to avoid the dial-up connection on my r700 portege with 32-bit windows 7

    Thanks for your help and sorry for my English.
    support for the toshiba told me to reinstall windows 7 64 bit to solve the problem :)

  • Sound when Portege R830 is anchored and display lid is closed

    I have a fairly new Toshiba Portege R830 laptop (PT321E-01E00YEN) who don't use speakers integrated if it is placed in a dock with the closed laptop screen or the microphone.

    This causes problems when you try to work from only an external monitor, but when I flip the lid open, it works fine.

    I am using a replication of port II (PA3916B) and once installed a month ago, all device etc drivers has been updated to the lasted available so I think that there is a software configuration option that just needs to check or disabling.

    No one knows where that might be?

    I test this on an another older duplicator that has been purchased for a R700-15R and have exactly the same problem, so I don't think it is hardware related.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

    Please don't get me wrong, but to me this behavious seems logical. When you close the lid internal speaker and microphone placed close to the cam are blocked so I don't know how you want to use.
    When the laptop is closed and set aside, it's almost the same as the office. All devices that you need should be connected to the docking station and external devices.

    If you use your laptop on a regular route, but they also appear external to office extension, you can use all the internal devices to your laptop.

    In my opinion the point of berthing of the use of the station of different devices to your laptop, but using the docking station, you can remove the laptop and take it with you without disconnection of all connected devices, including the power supply.

    To be honest, I see here no problem. You can contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for opinions, but I'm sure the answer will be the same.

  • Portege R830-10R: No. USB connection after recovery from sleep mode

    Nice day!

    I have experienced the problem depending on my Portege R830-10R for a long time.

    Quite often, when he recovers as soon as "sleep" mode it loses the ability to recognize USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.

    After awhile, like 10-15 minutes of work (or), the problem is solved by itself, but normally, it is not the case.

    If I try to send the laptop to Hibernate or "standby mode" again, while this problem is active, allows to say, it not put into hibernation and crashes on a midway with a black screen - so I have to stop it manually, and then start again.

    Normally, the only way to solve the problem is to restart, but the issue comes after the next "standby".

    Someone has something like this? Any solution available?

    Hello

    > Quite frequently, when he recovers as soon as "sleep" mode it loses the ability to recognize USB devices and built-in 3G modem does not work as well.

    Have you noticed this behavior from the first day of purchase?

    Only special USB devices assigned as USB flash memory stick or USB HDD or are
    other devices such as the USB mouse or USB keyboard has also affected?

  • Portege R830 - use of fingerprinting as part of Windows 8

    I have big problems with two drivers Toshiba on my Portege R830 computer in Win 8 Pro 64 bit upgrade.

    I did a clean update on a reformatted hard drive, then went to install display drivers and that totally crashed my machine out.

    When I put in my IDs of the machine would do a reboot of the force.
    Finally, I am in safe mode (with SHIFT-restart the login screen) and was able to fix it and remove the driver.

    Then I installed the utility of fingerprinting, this week still downloaded from Toshiba for my machine.
    He even marked as "new".
    That actually worked, in a way, but it caused my login icons user on-screen connection prior to appear as duplicates.

    Took me forever to understand it is the utility of fingerprinting and when I removed the user icons are returned to normal.

    So now the fingerprint reader is useless for me.
    In the hope of a solution soon.

  • Portege R830 - Windows does not start after I have install Comodo Firewall

    Good afternoon

    I bought today a Portege R830, and after the Windows configuration, the first program that I installed was the popular free Comodo Firewall. After that I restarted, Windows 7 unbootable. It would be stuck on the user login screen and I know it's a problem with the firewall because if I do a system restore to the restore point created by Setup of firewall, windows restarts.

    So I ask if there is any inconsistency between the firewall and software on the Toshiba. A that someone already had this problem? I tried to solve this problem throughout the day with no results. I even re-installed Windows 7 using the Toshiba Recovery and the problem persists. I really like the Comodo and I want this firewall on my laptop, but Windows does not just start!

    Any help would be apreciated.

    Hi jillefsky,.

    Have you disabled the Windows Firewall before you start with the installation of Comodo Firewall? As far as I know, Portege R830 is delivered with preinstalled McAfee security software and you must remove this program before you install other security tools.

    Generally this has nothing to do with Toshiba and it s advisable to contact Comodo directly. They may know about this so they can give you a proper answer.

    But I put t understand why this program is so important to you. Windows already has an internal firewall so that these programs are not necessary in my opinion. Just install a good antivirus like AntiVir and enable the automatic updates of Windows. All that s!

  • Need to check the update of the BIOS Portege R830 without Intel TXT

    Hello Forum,

    I have exactly the same problem as described here 2 years ago:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65519

    I need to update my BIOS, but I can't because the update of the BIOS told me that the Intel TXT is enabled.
    Unfortunately I can not disable it in my bios. Its just not selectable. The 'cursor' jumping just above him.
    I can only 'hide' which does not help.
    I have the same thing for the VT - x and VT - d setting in the BIOS. Is not selectable or editable as well.

    TPM is not active if...
    I installed after infineon and he tells me I need to enable the TPM in the bios to use. :-(

    I have a very old Bios Version 3.1 and I read in the changelog that there are a lot of TPM in v 3.4 and 3.5 related changes...

    In any case...
    A P007Dv360A_EC77V140.zip file has been transferred to 2shared.com who fixed it at the time, a user named Paolo30.
    Unfortunately, that this file has been deleted on 2shared.com

    can someone please provide this file (or an update of the bios later) which resolves this issue?
    Thanks in advance.
