Re: Satellite L500 - cut wire screen

Please help, when I closed my laptop Satellite L500 I smelled electrical, reopened and the screen is black.

I took it to a mechanic and he told me that he thinks that the cable/cord that connects the screen to the keyboard has stopped running through the hinges. He actually told me that he had the same problem on the same model specifications 2 weeks earlier.

He said that without opening upward and looking (which cost $250 immediately!) he couldn't be sure. My warranty missed 6 months ago. Any ideas?

> Any ideas?
Is that there is hardware problem and should be checked. I know it's expensive, but you can try to contact other services and see if they can do the same job for less money.

You can now use your laptop?

  • Re: Satellite L500-19 X - screen keeps going black

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 19 X and continues to go to the black screen.

    When you start the computer it flashes briefly until start / Boot screen properly before going black right now. Sometimes, the image is displayed correctly for 3 or 4 minutes before also black.

    If you hold down / tilt the screen under a strong light you can see a preview of the ghost of what should be displayed and if you connect an external monitor to the external monitor works fine and you can see a black ghost of what is on the external monitor on the laptop screen.

    I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it had no effect.

    Do you think I should replace the screen inverter Board or just reconnect the connectors screen?

    Thank you very much for your advice.

    Hello

    First to solve this problem, you must disassemble the laptop.
    I put t know exactly the procedure step by step for the L500 series but this procedure isn't very easy disassembly and you could damage other parts.

    Back to the question.
    It seems that the graphics card is OK and the problem is with lighting.
    Satellite L500 was equipped with a FL inverter Board and LCD joint (no backlight).
    The FL inverter controls the level of backlight screen s and I think that in your case, this part is defective.
    To resolve this problem, he needed to remove and replace the s FL inverter.

  • Satellite L500-1WP - higher screen resolution than HD?

    Nice day!

    I use Toshiba Satellite L500-1WP. I bought a new monitor Dell U2711 with max resolution 2560 x 1440. I tried to connect this monitor to my computer using a HDMI cable, the video card identifies the monitor as a HDTV and made max resolution 1920 x 1080 possible.

    Is it possible to do these 2 works as well as the resolution, I need (2560 x 1440), or I have to buy a new computer with DVI-d port?

    Hey Buddy,

    You should check the user manual here, I founded an information that the computer can display up to 2048 horizontal and 1536 vertical pixels at up to 16 million colors.

    So for me, it looks like you can use the native screen resolution of your external display t but normally 1080 p should be pretty good. :)

  • Satellite L500 - 20 X - screen problems

    Hello

    first of all, I would like to apologize for the case that I couldn't be very good to use this forum. I'm new and have never used any before support forum. And English is not my mother tongue.

    I use a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 20 X. For some time, the performance of the screen got worse. All started with interference bands who were there for a second or two and then vanished again. Now, I have to put the screen at an angle to get a decent picture, at all. If I didn't, there is interference stripes all the time.

    What I have gathered, it seems that the display cable is most likely the cause. So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

    Thanks so far!
    Vargskinn

    So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

    As I know there is only one flat cable which is connected to the screen, as well as the motherboard.
    But I can't say for sure that the cable is the troublemaker... it could be the cable problem, but that's just an assumption...
    In any case, I think that the laptop must be disassembled in order to know if it's really a problem of cable and a disassembly of the laptop can be very difficult if you have no instructions detailed step by step.

  • Satellite L500 - 19 X - screen turns white (white light)

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 19 X, and my screen is not working properly. When I turn on the computer, the screen turns off, but it gets lightened, it becomes white.
    The external VGA output works fine, I have no problem with an external monitor.

    I already changed the flat cable (Flex) that goes to the screen, but I got the same results.
    Can someone help me? What could be the problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    Graphics card is correct because you said that the external monitor is working properly.
    So I guess that screen internal or the FL inverter is the troublemaker.
    But that's just a personal opinion, I think that you will need to test the two parts

  • Satellite L500 LCD replacement screen (PSLJ0A - 01 K 013)

    Hello

    I need to replace the LCD for my Satellite L500 PSLJ0A - 01 K 013, but I have trouble finding a LCD 15.6 "appropriate. I am trying to find online, but it seems that the Web sites that sell screens LCD do not have my laptop model. It will be the same for all the series L500?

    Thank you.

    > Will it be the same for all the series L500?
    I think so. If you compare your L500 with other models (different number of PSxxxx) the difference is available from hardware such as CPU, GPU, ability to drive HARD, perhaps, ports, but in general, the LCD is always the same.

  • Satellite L500-1XJ - black screen after startup

    We have a portable Satellite L500-1XJ that our 3 year old got to and pressed the buttons on the key board. Now when you turn it on the screen gives aflicker then rest dark.
    I tried FN + F5 and FN F7 to see if it was passed to the external screen or brightness was rejected, but makes no difference.

    Do you have advice as to how I might be able to solve the problem?

    > Now when you turn it on the screen gives aflicker then remains grim. I tried FN + F5 and FN F7 to see if she was reactivated on the external screen or brightness was turned down but

    It looks like serious problems with the related material to the mobo (vga). You can access Bios at startup, or the display is just dark? External monitor is connected to the laptop?

  • Satellite L500/00W - gray screen with lines appeared twice

    Hello

    2 weeks ago, I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500/00W and today I was reading something online that this grey screen with lines to come...
    He did so twice already... I do worry...

    This could be the cause? How should I do? This happen to anyone else?

    Thank you
    Lily

    Hello

    I m not L500 owner so I can't tell you if that happened or not.
    I A200 and U400 for my company and I didn t have shown such symptoms in the past

    He signed strange s if the display changes the brightness and display vertical lines.
    It might be a problem of display or something with the graphics card.

    If you see this new symptom then I would recommend connecting the laptop for external monitor to check if the same would be visible on the screen 2.

    If the same would be seen on 2nd screen there is a big chance that and GPU would be affected.

  • Exchange of screen on Satellite L500 - 14 X

    I have Satellite L500-14 x computer laptop with a broken screen and I would like to know if any screen model screen would be compatible with this laptop. The display model is LP156WH1 TL C1. I found this model to screen sold on eBay and several other sites that State "compatible with XXXX" where XXXX other brands/models of laptop.

    Is it going to be compatible with my Toshiba or model of the laptop should be indicated on the description of the screen?

    Hello

    AFAIK the Satellite L500 supports different screens, but the size must be the same.
    The L500 supports HD TFT Color LCD 15.6 display.

    I think you can use the following views:
    AUO (B156XW01 V.2)
    CMO (N156B3-L02)
    LG (LP156WH1-TLC1)
    SAMSUNG (LTN156AT01-T01)

  • Change the screen of welcome/opening of session start on Satellite L500

    Hi - just bought laptop for my son (the Satellite L500 - 19 X with Win7 Home) preloaded and getting ready for Christmas.

    The logon screen is the Toshiba logo with a white background. This makes shaded police fall very hard to read which is used for usernames; and the "change user" list after < ctrl alt del > etc.
    What is the name of the file that produced this wallpaper of connection please so that I can replace to make the text legible?

    Note: the same question on the desktop, but this can be avoided by unchecking the box "shadow" in Visual effects & change the wallpaper.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I googled a little and found this:
    http://www.withinWindows.com/2009/03/15/Windows-7-to-officially-support-logon-UI-background-customization/

    The procedure is a little but delicate.
    You must change the registry.

    -Beginning of registry (Regedit.exe)
    -go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------authentication------LogonUI------background

    -Create a new DWORD value named OEMBackground
    -Double-click OEMBackground and set its value data to 1
    -Access register

    This allows you to include the screen background image (jpg)

    In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds, you could include the jpg file.
    The file should be named backgroundDefault.jpg + +.

    Note: info and background folders don't exist by default. You must manually create these records. In addition, the images must be less than 256 KB!

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!
