Qosmio G25: Vertical lines of pixels blocked

I have a huge problem with my Toshiba Qosmio G25:

My LCD has 2 lines of pixels blocked, one pixel wide, going from top to bottom. Before we continue, I want to point out that my computer has not had any physical trauma of any kind and is usually used as an office.

Everyone knows about this problem? Is there any miracle solution that I can handle it on my own or the only solution sends on laptop computer for the service? How the problems like that managed, toshiba will replace the screen or that they will completely replace the computer? I'd much rather prefer rather to solve this on my own with your suggestions as opposed to a long wait on the service.

All of my school work depends on my computer and I would be helpless without him for several weeks. Please if someone has experienced this problem and it is resolved, I'd appreciate that they could share their experience and knowledge.

Thanks for your time.

Hello Makaroni

It is not easy to say if this happens due to a malfunction LCD or even faulty graphics card. You can check its operation with an external monitor to see if the problem persists.

In any case I put t believe you can do anything on your own, especially if the graphics card or the LCD is faulty. The hardware must be replaced. I know it's very annoying, but I recommend you contact the service in your country. Save all your data on USB and try to finish your work on some PC friends.

  • Qosmio F10: vertical lines on the screen

    I use a Qosmio F10 with a nVIDIA 128 MB graphics card. Recently while I was running a graphics-based application on, my screen started showing me wire colors on the screen. I was able to start the game once more, but found the same problem exist.

    On reboot, the system showed the vertical white lines on the screen to start qosmio, ' *' on the lines of the bios password screen and green on the Windows XP loading screen. I was not able to start Windows. Thinking it would be a problem of S/W, I formatted.

    The problem persists and I can not load Windows XP.
    Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

    Hello

    This sound like a hardware malfunction and I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard :(

    But the vertical lines appear on the external screen? If so, then it must be a matter of Council.
    In this case, you have a lot of possibilities. In my opinion, ask the guy to service for the control of the laptop. The technicians of the service in your country partner could run diagnostics tests and will give you more details about the failure.

    Good luck

    Hello

    have you tried to plug the external monitor? If it still shows blue vertical lines, the reason is a failure of the graphics card. (You can also reinstall Windows to check the related issue of f it's Os). Otherwise, contact the after-sales service.

  • Qosmio G10 has vertical lines on the screen

    I have a G10 which I use for the last 15 months since I bought it.
    However, there are now 4 vertical lines on the screen, 2 Purple (magenta?), 1 yellow and 1 cyan. Other than these lines there are no other problems, it never fell down or something like that.

    The lines are still there, they do not change in any way and are always in the same place. They appear on the screen at first power up, before the Qosmio logo lights up.

    They have not all appear at the same time, they all appeared individually in the past two months. I've seen the last of them disappear briefly, then stay on.

    I guess that my screen is dying slowly, I guess to be an expensive item.

    Any advice thrown my way would be greatly appreciated!

    I took a picture of the screen you will find at:

    Note: the photo was taken with Media Player full screen on a black image, just to clearly show the lines)

    Hello

    I suggest you connect an external display to check if it's a graphics card or a display problem. If cela pipes appears also on the external screen then it could also be a problem with the graphics card.
    If these lines do not appear on the external display while the display of the laptop has a malfunction.
    However, this does not change your situation. I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP to solve this problem.

    All started an ordinary day, when I was playing music on my iTunes.

  • Qosmio G10 begins with vertical lines on the screen

    Hello, can anyone help?

    When I try to start my sign qosmio G10 comes on with vertical lines on the screen. And the screen goes black and I can only hear the fan.
    In VGA mode, it begins upward, but always with the lines on the screen.
    Is there something wrong with the video card? In my view, that there are more people with this problem.
    Toshiba offered little help?

    I'm 'out out of warranty '. I need to by a new complete motherboard or y at - it another option? Replace the video card?

    Hello

    Its a shame about the warranty because you ask the service partner Toshiba for the verification of the laptop and this procedure would be free. You know, the warranty would cover the audit of the laptop.

    But I would say the external display connection and then you can check if the same vertical lines appear on the external display.
    If you see the lines on the second monitor, then I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard.

    I think that this procedure is the best way to find out what could be the problem, but anyway, I think you should ask a technician for assistance if you want to solve this problem.

    PS: Have you tried to reinstall or update the graphics driver? I think you should do it but I don't know if it will help you, but you know Mr. try is free ;)

    One of my friends had a similar problem with the vertical lines on other mobile manufacturing, and it was a WLan cable which was responsible for the strange lines on the screen.

  • Green vertical lines then white screen on Qosmio F10

    My Toshiba Qosmio F10 primer is more. When it is on, the windows logo appears and the screen green vertical lines before going completely blank. The screen remains blank for about 5 minutes, then the laptop starts to restart. It justs goes on and so forth.
    No one knows what the problem is and now the laptop is out of warranty, cost for repair, or it is not profitable and it would be cheaper to buy a new laptop?
    Thank you
    Mike.

    Hey Buddy,

    Unfortunately ' unfortunately it seems that this defect is caused by component defective equipment.» It could be that the motherboard together that cost to a service center about 400 European must be replaced. (New card mother and Exchange)
    You can also try to clean your cooling system with a can of compressed air to remove dust which could probably cause the error, also.

    If you really want to give your machine for repair, then follow this link and find nearest ASP in your country:

  • Double vertical lines on the Qosmio G20

    I bought a 16mois g20 there and one day I tried to turn it on and gave me a few double vertical lines...
    I took it to the repair shop, they told me that I have to change the motherboard which is quite expensive and more installation wills cost much. So I think that... Why spend a lot of money for this laptop... .and know this thing came

    To be honest I wasn't disappointed with the machine worked very well... but reliability... .and its not so old to say...

    I was doing some research and very few have the same problem please... Toshiba should do something to make us upgrade the machine or get at least something cheaper to fix...
    Regarding.

    [Edited by: admin]

    Hello, Fabian

    I'm very sorry to hear that you have a problem with your Qosmio. I have too many Qosmio G20 and I really like this camera. I know it is expensive (I bought an opportunity), but it's really a very powerful and noble device.

    Right now my works well but when I read something like your ad that I'm a little worried mine too. I have gift? t know how long warranty period is in your country, but especially about 2 years ago. Try to contact the Service partner in your country and speak with them. Maybe is it possible to fix it.

    Good luck!

  • Vertical lines on screen - Qosmio F10

    I need assistance with vertical lines on my screen.
    It began before the period of one month, and I don't know what to do.
    Now, I work in SafeMode because Windows XP used to operate normally.

    The service where I bought it, they say I have to buy the new motherboard because the graphics card is integrated on the motherboard and graphics card loses contact with the motherboard.

    Now I should spend about 900 to buy the new card mother and graphics card, but it is stupid because I bought new Toshiba before 2 years for 2,000 and now does not work normally.
    Does anyone has a good idea how to fix it or some pages where I can find parts for my Qosmio? It is easier to say that someone to spend 900 to fix.
    Where are now best Toshiba notebook that everyone talks about.

    Help, please.

    Kind regards
    Mirko

    Hello

    I can really understand you and of course it s very stupid situation, but I guess that the guys of ASP are right and this problem really looks like a graphics card problem.
    The vertical lines on the screen are very typical for a malfunction of the graphics card.

    So I see really no other possibility as to replace the motherboard.
    Maybe you can buy one second hand and it could be a little cheaper.

    PS: I bought an extended warranty with my new laptop and I recommend to all this extension because a hardware malfunction can always happen.

  • A vertical line on display on Qosmio G10

    Hello world

    Since yesterday I have a vertical line on my screen. He begins to show the start line and all the time. I already had the problem with the graphics card, so I had to replace the motherboard. Is this problem with the graphics card again?

    Hmm, I guess that Yes.
    You could try to connect the external display for the Qosmio, and check to see if the same on the second monitor.
    If the thin line will be visible on the external monitor, then everything looks like the graphics card failure.

  • Qosmio G30-137 - video card problem - the bug of vertical lines

    Hi members,

    Today my Qosmio G30-137 started to make trouble showing vertical lines that look like this:

    ''''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''
    '''' ''''''' '''''' '''''''

    After having used the product Windows disk recovery could not start early and came up with a blue screen with the error code:

    + failure of page in the nonpaged area STOP 0 x 00000050 (0xC09C3044, 0x00000000, 0X804DA90AA, 0 X 000000002) +.

    Basically, this indicates that the RAM - memory Cache L2 or preserved is dead. But I also learned that the graphics card can be smoked.

    After the blue screen, you will not get the system to normal operation, no matter what you try.

    I strongly advise to check if your Qosmio is under warranty and see your reseller for Exchange. Fortunately I bought mine 2006/06/06 so its still under warranty (even if only a left view days).

    Additional information: another Member of this forum has had a similar problem and noted that the entire motherboard must be changed causing costs of USD 700.00 and more!

    I will let you know what I found myself with.

    BRgds
    The Q

    Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious problem of material as other members suggested, the GPU (graphics card) may be defective and therefore replacement is necessary.

    The point is that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and it of not possible to remove the graphics chip of the card. In most cases, the entire motherboard must be replaced to solve graphic problems.

    In my opinion, you should contact your ASP as soon as possible.
    Technicians should be able to help you to explain the situation and to issue and ask for later handling.

    Good luck buddy

  • Blue vertical line on the screen of the Qosmio G20

    A few minutes ago, I was surfing the web and from nowhere share an apperead to the blue vertical line on the screen.
    A blue vertical line near the middle of the screen and crosses the screen all the up toward the bottom.

    If I'm looking at a white background, the line is undetectable, but if it is colored, it comes right thru.

    Please don't tell me they are dead... hoooo pixels... I am now, life away from any toshiba repair shop and I get a guarantee...
    I think that I bought 3 years ago. Need urgent help

    Hey Susana

    I wouldn't say it s a lack of dead pixel, but to me, it looks like a more serious problem.
    It looks like a malfunction of the graphics card. But to be sure, you should try to connect the external monitor to the computer and check if the same vertical line will appear on the second screen.

    If you're going to see the same line on the external monitor, then I assume that the question of the vertical blue line might be linked to the GPU fault.
    This could be the case value because the chip graphic card cannot be replaced. You need to replace the whole motherboard :(

    So, as you see it s not easy to solve this problem and I really recommend to contact a technician who has more experience with these laptop problems.

    Good luck
