Re: Satellite A200 - 14 d - cable defective screen or something else?

Hi, guys. :)

I'm having a problem with my display. I don't have an external display to test on so I have to give the service a go because I don't want to buy the part after part and replace it with my 'old' just to know that the problem is not caused by the latter. That said, here is a more detailed description of the source of my headaches:

More than 3 weeks ago (yeh, that much!: D) the backlight of my screen (Toshiba Satellite A200 - 14 d) turned black. "No worries!" I thought because I had 2 cases before replacing the inverter Board. If things were really that simple... * sigh * I bought a frequency inverter making sure that is the problem (I can see what happens on the screen only if I have a bright source of light pointed in his direction - this is what made me think that the problem comes from the Commission of the inverter).

I replaced the inverter, but to my great disappointment, the bakclight does not turn on or at least not for long. I noticed that there is light in the lower right corner of the screen. Once I disassembled completely my screen and a large part of the laptop itself, I have riddled the cables a bit and now if I don't move around the screen and put it in a special position backlight turnes on until after load of the GRUB bootloader. But sometimes it lights. So obviously this isn't the backlight itself (phewwww) for when it is activated, I can see the entire screen and there is a bright light everywhere.

So before considering service I want to have a diagnosis of my own (with your help of course: D) and see, just for the record, if I'm right.
As I wrote before - I don't have an external display to test these things. I can play movies and games without a problem (it's - regardless of the fact that I do not see a thing without a flashlight in my hand into account: D).

So the omho problem is either the motherboard itself (which I can test with an external display :() or cable.
In view of the facts and experiences, I did and described above, I think that cable is the source of all evil.

See you soon,.

> As I wrote before - I don't have an external display to test these things. I can play movies and games without a problem (it's - regardless of the fact that I do not see a thing without a flashlight in my hand into account: D).

Well, the backlight is controlled by FL inverter s thereby
If the FL inverter didn t solve the problem, then there must be problems with a screen itself

The external monitor would check if the problem is related to the graphics chip or the screen itself, but if you have no external monitor then I would recommend a visit to a downtown computer technician

I mean, it is best to check the parts first before replacing something without knowing if the part is really affected you know

  • Satellite A200 - with connected power supply screen goes black or partial

    I have a satellite A200 age of 5 years.

    The laptop works fine when using the power of the battery when the AC power cable is plugged into the computer freezes sometimes displaying a partial color screen or a black screen. I tried with my son AC cord (also Toshiba) and same problem appears.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, very frustrating.

    It is not easy to help in issues that sometimes occur.
    Have you done something about this? Something like test with its own OS preinstalled?

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. It can be caused by software, but also the material can be responsible for this.
    In my opinion, you should backup all your data and reinstall original Vista and test it with the factory settings.

    If the problem occurs again you must be a hardware problem.

    Hello, Russell

    A few days ago, I have similar problem on my Satellite P200. After you install a third-party application, I got BSOD every time when this application loads. I tried anything possible. To start in safe mode and change the boot options, OS restore to an earlier time using System Restore tool. I also tried to remove application preinstalled in safe mode but nothing has helped.

    In the end, I installed OS using recovery DVDs.

    So, in my case, I was sure why this happens. What is with you? This happens if you use some applications? What player and antivirus do you use?
    The same happens when you try to use Microsoft's Disk Defragmenter?

  • Re: Satellite A200 1 M 5 blue screen & gel

    I have an older A200 10 months under Vista Home Premium that came preinstalled on purchase.
    Since the beginning, but more regularly now, it freezes in any program several times a day and is now crashing with the blue screen to come before the dumping and restarting itself.

    It seems to be a major problem, according to the number of people making similar comments on the net and offering all kinds of weird answers and solutions.

    I use this computer every day for business and cannot afford this ridiculous downtime nor I believe that should I have to do anything... it's a new computer!

    What's his problem?
    What is the cause?
    Can it be fixed?

    I can't afford to be without it, or I can afford a the size of the time in the repair shops, until the answer?

    Thanking you in advance for any possible solution/s

    Hi Andrew

    AGENTS can result from severe software or a hardware problem.
    But the fact is that the BSOD is a deviation and so it is not easy to say what causes this problem.

    First of all, it is necessary to know if its software or hardware related problem.
    You can find it using the Toshiba Recovery CD. After the new installation of operating system the laptop should run stable and should not occurs the BSOD.

    But if the BSOD will persist, then the problem could be caused by faulty hardware.
    The BSOD appeared on my laptop Toshiba-not too much, and it was related to the temperature inside the laptop.
    The high temperature was a bad influence on the memory modules.

    I cleaned then cooling of modules using a jet of compressed air and the BSOD appeared not.
    But look, man. This does not mean that this could be the reason even to find you BSOD errors.
    So as you can see, it's really not easy to say what could be wrong.

    If the BSOD will persist even after recovery again then I recommend to contact technical service for a detailed notebook check.

  • Re: Satellite A200 - drive recovery gives blue screen

    It makes me crazy.
    I have two laptop A200 which were granted to the staff. They left and laptops have been completely OK.

    Before I have the laptops to new staff I format and reinstall the operating system and software. Simple I thought, I've got the recovery DVDs. I rebooted with the DVD into a party to the process, everything seems to be fine. It restarts in windows enter the first screen of XP of windows with green dots below. I have a very quick flash of a blue screen and restarting the laptop, then continues with the quick blue screen through.
    This happens on the two A200 I have.

    If I try to load windows XP from our copy of the retail windows, he always says that no records can be detected. Again, it happens on both. I hear say you, it's the hard drive. Well, it's not the hard drive. I removed the disc placed in another laptop and a windows PC and it works as it should, it's two hard drives. With hard drives in laptops original A200 I can install Linux (unbuntu) without any error. I run disk check that everything is OK.
    Toshiba says it's a virus! Seems to be the answer to everything, that they can't solve by phone!

    I love the laptops of the thesis, they have been very good for us here, would like to get them running again. They have two years out of warranty.
    The version of the BIOS is 5.20
    Any help would be great

    Hello

    It's a little difficult to say what happens to your laptop, but if I have problems installing, I erase hard drive with a bootable cd of Acronis support, Acronis drive Cleanser

    http://www.Acronis.com/enterprise/products/DriveCleanser/index.html

    or East-Tec DisposeSecure

    http://www.East-Tec.com/download/index.htm

    These programs are shareware and need to be enabled in order to make a bootable media.

    I erase a hard drive, then install the original copy of Windows for my clients. If they have problems with ODD, I make a bootable USB key (if the Bios supports) or higher Lan installation. By the way, have you tried to install from a bootable USB key.

    Talk about viruses, it can also take place the cloth of hard drive is recommended. In our service, we answer also like this phone as say the guys at Toshiba. Believe me, it's not easy to solve problems over the phone, the problem is that many customers cannot adequately describe the malfunction!

  • Satellite A200 screen backlight is disabled

    I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200.

    When the screen is opened, the backlight is disabled. You can vaguely see the screen keep it turned on, but it is too small to read.
    When you close it, you can see the screen backlight turns on, it stays on for just less than one second when you re - open the lid, and then turns off again.

    I guess that it has something to switch the lid being faulty.
    Can someone suggest solutions.

    Thank you very much
    Anthony

    This part of the message is very interesting:
    > You can vaguely see the screen keep it turned on, but it is too small to read.

    According to your description, you can see the screen and eventually the office too, but the entire screen is very low as behind a thick fog.
    Could this be just?

    Well, I think that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL.
    The FL inverter is a tiny part hidden behind the frame of the screen and it controls the backlight of the screen s.

    In my opinion, this part should be checked by a technician for laptop.

  • Satellite A200 touchpad function does not properly

    Hello

    I spent a lot of time looking for the solution to my problem, but without effects.

    My touchpad does not work correctly. I mean, I can move the arrow and click on the screen, it's ok. But all other functions (volume, mailbox and other "virtual buttons" don't work)-the so-called "hybrid".
    I am connected to the USB port on the mouse.

    If I disconnect it, there is no change - the touchpad works only in basic mode.
    If I change the double mode in the settings of the touchpad to "always in Dual Mode when an external device is connected" - and all the virtual buttons work.
    But what do I do to make the mode of double the work even if the mouse is not connected (so that the power button works)?

    Thanks for any help,
    M.

    I m a bit confused now and I don t know what exactly you want
    You're talking about the touchpad, mouse USB, bi, etc..

    I put t know what you mean with dual mode and maybe you should give us more information about your operating system.
    And that you use the touch pad or mouse USB?

    Can you post a screenshot screen or something else?

    I put t know if this solves your problem, but have you tried to update the driver for the touchpad? You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    You have disconnected the display while you cleaned up the laptop?
    Are you sure that the display is connected correctly?
    Check the cable?

    > The laptop shows that read the hard drive and the processor works well.
    How do you know that? Flashing LED HDD?
    You know, it's not easy to say what may be the problem.

    You can also try testing with external monitor.

  • Dolby Digital Audio output via HDMI on Satellite A200 cable?

    I don't see how to get a Dolby Digital signal on my laptop!

    I have a screen LCD HD 1080 p television. With the help of a cable HDMI from laptop to TV gives a beautiful image. I then use an optical link between TV and Surround amplifier... However the amp does not recognize the signal as a Dolby Digital signal.

    The record is not clear on issues of Audio. The Toshiba HD-DVD player shows Dolby Digital option and I guess that's out put down the HDMI cable? I hear through the TV speakers.

    Hints would be much appreciated.

    Concerning
    Paul

    Hello

    To be honest I didn t know that there is Satellite A200 laptops with HDMI output. Can you please tell me what A200 you have (A200-xxx)? Are you really sure have an A200?

    Back to your problem: as far as I know the Digital Dolby audio can be sent if the laptop has S/PDIF port. You must also use an optical cable and connect laptop to your amp directly.

    What you do now is send the signal to the TV only. I don't really know if you can browse the Dolby signal to the amp.

    It seems during the BIOS update process, something went wrong and therefore the laptop does not start correctly.
    You should know that the update of the BIOS is always a risky job.

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to solve this problem. You need a help of an ASP.

  • Satellite A200 - black screen of death

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A200 PSAFCA-01K00J model. This model, I bought Harvey Norman in Australia, but I can't find any registration on the web site of current Toshiba or abandoned. This sux because I am looking for any bios updates available to address a recent black screen problem.

    The first time this has happened that I was able to reboot after removing the battery/cut the current to several times before its good. The next day, after an attempted works to install Kaspersky Anti-virus update the same problem... Power disconnected, removed, deleted drums (replacing the cylinder one and then the other to check the faulty ram memory cards) of ram and hard drive and then bled off residual tension with start button. Through this process several times before finally successful. I had to pass by it a few times since after restarts automatic windows updates, etc. I extracted the procedure to manually reset the bios by jumping it, but it's something I want to avoid doing this until I've exhausted all other options.

    Toshiba Satellite A200
    Model - PSAFCA-01K00J
    O/s - Vista
    Hard Drive - 160GB with 50 GB of free space remaining.
    System 32 with proccesors core duo. (intel)
    Bios Version/Date-phoenix Technology Ltd 5.20, 25/10/2007

    Any idea of sourcing on the last correct bios or any other input gratefully appreciate it... :)

    > Black Screen Of Death
    What happen exactly when you start your laptop?

    By the way: I ve checked the download from Toshiba on http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download page and can not find this old model of laptop. I don't understand that Toshiba to THE is some archives for old models like on the page of European support.

    Anyway, I don't think that BIOS is the reason for this behavior.

The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
    No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

    I have already (without success) tried:
    -Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
    -Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
    -Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

    The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

    Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
