Re: Satellite C660 - black screen

Hi guys,.

This morning I had a problem with my toshibate c660, my screen is black and doesn't react not to when you turn on the computer.
However, my computer always on and you could see the light led lighting on and hear the computer from.

Now I fixed black screen by a tutorial, tutorial goes like this:

"First of all, turn off your computer by pressing and holding down the Start button. Then unplug the computer and then remove the battery. Press and hold start for approximately 60 seconds button.
Release the button and plug it into the computer. Press the Start button and the display should return. Replace the battery. If this does not work, try again up to four times. No result is generally a bad motherboard. Hope this helps. »

I did 4 times because the first 3 times, it did not work, and too my surprise the 4th time worked.

Q: can someone explain why it works?
I hold the Start button when they were without battery in the computer and it was not plugged in. I can't understand that it works when the computer is not powered.

GR

Someone carefully one overview to explain?
I think that almost Voodoo is true :))

It's not easy to say why the question arose.

But as much as I know, that these black screen problems can be related to memory problems as well as a power failure.

In any case, it is very important that the workaround solution described in your ad worked correctly.

The same question of power happened to me a few months ago and the same solution was helpful to get the laptop working again.

    You can start the laptop properly using the old modules?

  • 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)

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

    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.

  • Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

    My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

    Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

    Any recommendation?

    Hey,.

    It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

    Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

    It worked fine until the last few days. 2 days back when I started, it works fine until I go to bed (about 4-5 hours).
    "" I put my computer on and I slept, when I woke up in the morning, seen the button works / stop light is lit, "plugged in", "lit", "battery" all the lights are on but black screen of the tower.

    I moved the mouse, you press the mouse, press the SPACEBAR, enter keys on the keyboard, but nothing of this fact the live screen.
    I checked the fan works and the machine is hot normally.

    I noticed the CPU/HDD LED does not blink, the fact does not illuminate.

    The day before yesterday was also even, but after that restart was again very well.
    yesterday also repeated the same thing.
    Today also repeated the same thing.

    Please note my power saving mode: hip - turn off monitor - 1 minutes, turn the HARD drive - never.

    This setting is for last 2-3 years and normally off the monitor used to live on the movement of the mouse / key pressing.

    Can someone please help me figure out why my screen goes black after a night or more running morning.

    Thanks in advance

    Generally screen should turn off, but the laptop must continue to work.
    It is not easy to tell what happened.
    Can happen that laptop did restart because of a windows update installation?
    Some applications are active during the night? Some download or something similar?

  • Satellite M70 - black screen on startup

    Hello!

    I have a problem with my Satellite M70-309, so for two times after logo Toshiba, Windows Xp (home sp2) does not start.
    The result is a WHITE & BLACK SCREEN.
    So I turned off manually appeared then black screen where I can choose if starting normally, last good configuration etc...

    That's happened?
    Is a hardware problem? Because my cpu died last month I changed it.

    Thank you!
    (Sorry for my English I'm Italian)

    Hi, RSC

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but I assume that there is something wrong with the HARD drive. It will be interesting what happens with the new HARD drive.

    If possible also start the recovery procedure to see if the HARD drive will be recognized correctly and if the recovery procedure starts correctly. Check it using the installation in expert mode where you have access to information from HARD drive (partitions and so on).

    When I get the white screen with the cursor, I tried a few things mentioned.

    Hello

    To be honest, for me it looks like a Windows problem. Maybe something messed with the registry and Windows can start t more

    I think that you must restore windows recovery disk Toshiba you wrote that you have tried to load the restore disc but what happened after that? Can start the installation of recovery? If so, you should do this.

    Backup, you can do if you buy an external HARD drive enclosure. Remove the HARD drive and install in the case of HARD drive. Now you can connect to another computer.

  • Satellite P200D - black screen and does not just by running

    Hello everyone, I have a Toshiba Satellite P200D - 107 PSPBLE with configuration set-aside:

    Processor: Turion x 2 TL - 52 64-bit clocked at 1.6 Ghz
    Display: 17.3 inch
    Graphics card: Ati radeon x 1200
    RAM: 2 x 512 MB ram (1 GB total) which I upgraded to 1 x 2000 MB and 1 x 512 MB (for a total of 2.5 GB)
    OS: FACTORY CD WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM 32-BIT
    Power: Running on the direct power without the battery cable

    Although the pc is quite old sound fundamentally new barely there 1 year of normal use on it.

    PROBLEM:

    The screen goes black (no), even if the screen still has the backlight running, the laptop is still under tension, but its basically in a kind of deep hibernation with the fan running yet.
    The laptop screen turns off 5-10 minutes after windows loads, even if in idle, it also stops during installation of the operating system.
    I tried to run the music and the music stops when the screen goes black made all the hard disk activity which I believe indicates that it is not related to the video chip.

    TRIED SO FAR:

    1. open up the computer laptop and cleaned all dust processor, now CPU temp is 50 max, even for hard disk
    2. update the bios to the original to 1.70 - did not help
    3 connected external monitor also stops it the same time as the laptop screen indicating it is not not a screen issue
    4 reinstall OS several times
    5 tested memory with memtest64 - no error
    6. test the hard drive with hddregenerator - no error

    What I've noticed:

    If I leave just a 512 MB of ram in the laptop then the laptop stops not at all even in windows applications, tried to launch a game to remove video card and it works without problem for hours, but as soon as I add the stick of 2 GB or another origianal 512 stick it will go inside the black screen 5-10 min (or earlier) to get into windows.

    He never stops in dos mode (as in memtest, hddregen) even with 2.5 GB of ram.

    After that the screen goes black, if I stopped and then try to save, it it won't work at all, the screen stays black with the fan spinning and boot CD, I must absolutely disconect the power cord power and re - set before it starts again.

    Anyone has any ideas, I am experienced with the pc, but have never stumbled upon something so weird that I have just can't explain this problem that came straight from heaven.

    Toshiba to wake up, this forum is a total joke, you would think that you would be able to afford hiring a bunch of technicians to actually help people rather than rely on the users of the forum to do your work for your, you don't need to have a forum, if you don't have the staff to actually help people solve their problems.

  • Satellite A200 - black screen with two beeps

    Date: October 17, 2009

    I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer * model A200 PSAFCA-01400J *. I am facing a problem of * completely black screen * (I can't see any image either). It happened twice more than the screen wouldn't turn on by moving the mouse or the touchpad. To turn on the screen I had to restart the computer. The screen worked well until it turns off again. Since it does not turn on even after I restarted my computer several times. I noticed that my * Windows vista home premium * load properly I can hear audio that indicates that I am ready to open a session. I also noticed the sound signal after slipping my finger on the sensor attesting that I connected successfully, but the screen remains black.

    When I turn on my computer, I noticed that it sounds two beeps, first beep is short and the second beep is relatively long. I tested the cover closing the cover switch and noticed that my computer goes into sleep mode and by opening the cover that Eve turns off and my computer turns on again; but the screen remains black. One of my friends suggested that the backlight of the screen inverter or the lid switch is defective. Can someone tell me what could be the problem and what do the two beep codes?

    Thank you

    Hi mate,

    Normally the beep codes at the start of average that it s something wrong with the hardware of your laptop. As Akuma said, maybe the graphics card or RAM must be replaced or other parts too.

    Have you already tried to connect an external monitor? You can see a picture on this subject?
    I don't know but maybe what he s m only internal something wrong with the monitor.

    In any case, I think you should contact a service provider for help. Technicians can check the laptop and fix it for you.

    Insert the floppy disk. Then power on and press F12. Now, choose ODD (optical disc) as the boot device and press ENTER.

    The laptop boot from the CD?
    If this isn't the case, you should check if the laptop could start from any other bootable disk. This is necessary because you need to know if his problem of disk problem drive or an optical disc.
