Re: Satellite M - screen remains black

Hello

I'm not the most computer savy person, but I know that when I open the lid on my laptop, the screen is supposed to come. Sometimes the screen remains white, but I may here make the sign in his and if I plug it into the TV via the HDMI port it shows the screen works fine.

That doing so is close, open and close the top several times and hope it works again. This can happen even if it is open and working and I restart the computer.

Any ideas?

Hello

It would be very interesting to know which laptop Satellite M you exactly. Maybe you can add this information. ;)

In addition you have connected any external devices waiting monitor via HDMI?
If you have the SD card inserted, remove it.

You use the latest version of the BIOS?

  • Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

    After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

    I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

    That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

    EDIT:
    After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

    So, if this happens to you:
    1. turn off your computer.
    2. wait about 30 minutes.
    3. start in safe mode
    4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

    It should work.

    Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

    The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

    Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

    So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

    But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

  • Satellite L670 - screen remains black after sleep mode

    I recently bought a L670. When I close the laptop, it goes into sleep mode. No problem with that. But when I opened the laptop again the screen remains black.
    I see on the drive activity light that the laptop come out of sleep mode correctly, but the screen remains black.

    I don't have this problem when the sleep mode is only a few minutes. Then the screen comes up correctly.
    But for example after an hour of sleep mode... no screen.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Hello

    I recommend the update to the BIOS and the display driver.

    Maybe it helps in your case.

    It of hard to say what's going wrong here, but maybe it s just a small issue that could be solved easily.
    Try this;
    Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
    A few hours and reconnect the two parts.
    I had this problem in the past and leave the laptop disconnected during the night.

  • Satellite a200-1sv screen remains black at startup in Vista

    Hello

    We have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1sv my girlfriend: when we started, most of the time, the screen remains black, while the computer starts: after awhile, we can hear the sound of windows (vista).

    In addition, if connect us another screen of the computer, it displays the scheduled start screen. In order to use the computer, it must launch a few times... The support guy where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we cannot do something".

    Can we do something?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ju

    I have to smile to read this message
    Mainly, this statement is funny;
    > The support guys where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we can't do something."

    I think that this laptop has been delivered with the Vista operating system. So why the guy said that the laptop is not compatible with Vista?  :| …. that's nonsense.

    First the A200-1SV belongs to the PSAE6E series and it s fully Vista capable.
    Secondly, like you say the external screen displays home Toshiba screen and so I guess that's just a matter of adjustment.
    What you can do is to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between display devices.

    If it doesn't help to try to put the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD!
    In this case, the new OS, driver and tools will be installed and then everything should work fine.

    Good bye

  • When I start my Satellite A300 the screen remains black

  • Satellite P200D-139 - screen remains black

    Hello, Ive had my laptop for a few years and after leaving in my freezer for a few weeks on vacation, I went to turn it on and the laptop turned on and the lights came, but the screen remained black. The screen was not completely black she lights up very slightly, but nothing was visible at all (not even very thirsty)

    In the past, I encountered a situation where I had a red tinge to objects on my screen, but also red horizontal lines. This was never permanent and only occasionally happened.

    About my most recent problem involving the black screen, I tried taking the battery and holding the switch thing on, but also to take my ram out and put it back again. After that I took the ram out, I turned on the laptop and the screen shows red objects and flashes the screen loading and then black again. I don't know if it was because of the ram or just a coincidence.

    I'm completely stuck on the current situation and would be grateful for all the help I can get. Thank you!

    Hello

    If everything is clear: in your case I would like to connect an external monitor to the laptop. So that you can identify if the problem is related to the screen internal or graphics card.

    In both cases you need professional help, I think the something on the hardware needs to be replaced. Therefore, you must contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and fix it for you it's a little tricky.

    On the Toshiba page, you will find a list of ASP.

    Hi Stephanew,
    as I recall it has an ati graphics card...

    but try this to get your machine to work:

    -pull out the hard drive to protect your data (Let's hope that there is no damage yet...)
    -take out the battery and try to start only with the power adapter > shoukld you see the toshiba on-screen logo > failure other components can be 'guilty '...

    -attach an external monitor to your computer and check if there is a visible image > no image at all?
    -check the memory, for this purpose, remove the memory and test if the satellite "buddies" > heard some of this? Yes?

    iasume the grafics card disappeared... see your certified partner...
    Let us know if this helped you.

  • MacBook Pro 2015 turns on but the screen remains black...

    Hello

    Today, I tried to turn on my MacBook Pro, but my screen stays black. When I press the caps lock button, it turns green which I guess means he lit. I've also heard the startup chime it generally makes when you turn on. I already tried to turn it on and off several times and reset the SMC and the LANDAU... The screen is always black.

    Could someone help me please?

    Also a few minutes ago the fan has started to make noise in the macbook...

    But the screen remains black.

    Thank you

    Shaynidw

    Hi shaynidw,

    From your description, it seems that your MacBook Pro is powered, as soon as you hear the startup chime and see the light on the keyboard.  Thus, it seems that the problem may be with your screen or the video card.

    On the screens you see when you start your Mac

    Power on

    When you turn on your Mac, display is off (black) and you hear a startup chime. Your Mac Initializes his BootROM and memory (RAM live). It then performs a power - on that self test (POST) and a test of BootROM. If you hear beeps or chimes at this stage, this indicates a possible hardware problem and start stops. If you add memory to your Mac, check that it is installed correctly.

    White screen

    After that only walking self-test is completed, your Mac sends a video signal to your connected screens. The screen may appear black or grey at this point in the boot sequence and backlight of the screen should light up. If you do not see the image appears on your screen after a few moments, try increasing the brightness of your screen. If you use an external monitor, make sure it is properly connected and turned on.

    shaynidw, if set up the brightness of your screen does not help, you have an external display (computer screen or TV) that you can attach to your MacBook Pro to test?

    In addition, you can try to start your computer in safe mode to see if you get different results.

    Try safe mode if your Mac does not end commissioning

    If the problem persists, you may need to take your computer to an Apple Store or service provider authorized Apple , so they can inspect the video card and cables to isolate the problem.

    Take care.

  • Toshiba Qosmio DX730 PAQ13A - no signal - the screen remains black

    When I turn on PC (all in a single DX730 PAQ13A-010005) the amber light turns white as it should. However, the screen remains black.
    If I unplug the connection, and then reconnect it, a message appears on the screen indicating 'PC', it then changes briefly to display the message no Signal.

    He will not go to log in screen etc. because the screen stays black.

    All advice appreciated.

    Must be the hardware problem.

    It seems that no signal can be picked up by the monitor...
    Probably the mother or any other element connected to the motherboard is defective...

    I guess its time to contact a technician if you want to solve this...
