Satellite 1800-712: failure of the screen

S1800-712 screen keeps blacking out. started flashing, will now stay if I unplug the sector & work on battery power only. Blacks out after 30 sec on sector.

Hi Steve,.

If you can still see an afterimage (albeit very dark), then it is likely that your FL inverter has failed and must be replaced.

However, if the screen is completely black, then it may very well be a parameter in the Toshiba Power Save utility for AC power which is turning the screen off.

Kind regards

  • Can not remove the virus. Help, please! Satellite 1800-712

    Hello!

    I am running XP Home edition on a satellite 1800-712.

    The computer behaves very suspiciously, closing (disc according to the error messages or bad driver) and weird popups appear from nowhere (your computer is damaged - visit such or such website and we'll fix it for you) without me even a browser.

    I reinstalled XP with repeatedly Toshiba recovery disks, but it does not help. The virus or anything like that is always there. What should I do? Everything is saved. I just want to do a thorough cleaning of the hard drive, but the recovery discs don't seem to be able to.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Hello

    If the reinstallation of the system with the recovery CD does not help, the problem must be somewhere else, but not on the software on the hard drive. Maybe the hard drive itself has a problem, and the software cannot be read properly. Sorry, but at the moment I have no idea better.

    Good bye

  • Unable to connect to the Internet with my Satellite 1800 712

    Hello

    had to reinstall Windows XP Home on my Satellite 1800-712, unfortunately do not have the recovery disc otherwise it would all be ok.

    Now, I can't get on internet, I downloaded new drivers for LAN, they installed ok, LAN is set to autodetect, USB wireless dongle drivers installed everything is ok.

    In my tray icon (bottom right) shows the networks but with red cross... I get a message saying that wireless networks are within range, click here to see the networks... when I click, Sun protection comes up saying no. networks in range... aarrrgggh.
    What can I do, please?

    Hello

    First you need to check if the wireless network adapter appears in Device Manager (expand network controllers).
    If the local network adapter is listed and there is no yellow exclamation point, this means that the wireless network adapter has been installed correctly.
    Now you have to activate the Wlan switch (somewhere on the side of the laptop) and the FN + F8 key combination.

    Now Wlan is enabled and you should be able to set it up.
    You can use a 3rd Wlan tool part for configuration or specific parameters of Win XP.

    Check it!

  • Failed to create the floppy disk to update the BIOS on the Satellite 1800-712

    I was given a Satellite 1800 712 with buggy BIOS (power went down while flashing) then now when the laptop is on a sign shows
    BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call the repairman)
    and so on...

    I downloaded the latest bios for the laptop, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy, run the *.exe file and a 1.44 MB must be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I am running windows xp nothing happens and if I'm running BACK said "initial mistake.

    In the Archives of the bios is a readme. It says that I need to copy files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA. (EXE) on a 1.44 MB diskette. Well, it is not helped either.

    Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I found this thread in the forum:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&MessageID=72625

    The case described in the thread above is very similar to your question.
    According to this message that every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in the case of an incomplete process of flashing, the area responsible for in the BIOS flash for the upgrade is never deleted.

    Generally you should contact the service point in your country for this problem, but perhaps the description in the other thread will help you.
    But you know, everything you do is at you own risk

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive

    Hello

    I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

    When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

    I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

    I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

    Please help and thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
    The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
    You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

    Hello world.

    I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
    I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

    I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
    The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

    Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

    THX, Philippe

    Hello

    This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
    You again is 40 GB.
    I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

  • Satellite 1800-712 - the processor can be improved?

    Hello

    I have a 1800-712 and want to upgrade the processor.

    Is this possible?
    The vehicle currently has Intel Celeron 1.1 GHZ.
    If it can be upgraded, until then I go there then?

    I was not able to find in any threat on this model.

    Thank you
    Inge

    Hello Inge

    Upgrading the CPU is not possible. The processors used in laptops are connected to the motherboard using a process called TCP (tape carrier package). It is a method of permanent connection and is used in the interest of miniaturization and heat dissipation. The only thing you can do is memory expansion. On this path of unity will be vigorously. ;-)

    If you need information about the compatible memory module, please write again.

  • Satellite 1800-712: what comb drive can use?

    Can anyone let me know the model number / part of the CDRW/DVD combi
    walk in the 1800-712 of Satellite specifications. Mine has failed, and I need
    to get a new one.

    Hello

    Have you checked you user manual?
    In the manual of the user that was preinstalled on the computer laptop m, I found some compatible players. I think that in the manual you you should also find a list of compatible drives.

    I think that you could use a DVD - ROM SD-C2502 or CD-RW/DVD-ROM Toshiba SD-R2002 / SD-R2102 or CD TEAC CD-224th for training

    But I think you should take a look in this document yourself.

    Did you know that a compatible player you can order the ASP in your country?
    If you order the drive of the service partner you can be 100% that this drive is compatible.

  • Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange

    Hi all.

    My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.

    The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?

    If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.

    I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Hi Mary,

    The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

    I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

    Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

    I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

    My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

    Hello

    I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
    This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
    As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

  • Satellite P100-286 - vertical on the screen restart and constant lines

    I got this P100-286 with Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 GS and recently the laptop started to freeze options even with vertical lines on the screen tried recovery cd tried to re - install and after installation, that he started to do the same. I have read similar problems in the forum and this is a common problem with Toshiba? I have spend £1500 on this and it is only 3 years old. My friends have older laptops of this almost 6 years old and in good working condition.
    Y at - it a suggestion for this problem or a solution? The heat on the basis of the laptop is really hot and it's like that for centuries.

    Any help is really appreciated after spending so much like to last longer or it is a problem of reliability with the Toshiba brand.

    Hi vns.

    Hmm strange. I have ever read on these issues here in the forum with Satellite P100. Friend of me has the same model and it s still does work correctly, no problems at all.

    Do you have the same vertical lines on a screen? If so, it is certainly associated with the internal graphics card and not watch.
    By the way: you have the same problem in the BIOS or just Windows?

    With regard to the heat on the underside: I think that it s time to clean it and remove dust. You can do this using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans. That's why it of not necessary to disassemble your laptop.

  • Satellite A300 - grayish colors on the screen

    Where to play games on my Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02W010) and looking at photos of all colors seem a bit dull and grayish. When I called they said them it could be "limits the display" and I could have looked but I would be charged $120 if it was because of the limitations, I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems with screens.

    It looks like my companion of hewlett packard LCD display which is very old.

    Any advice would be helpful!

    I have Satellite A300 and colors on the display are clear and bright.
    What games do you play? Something in the dark?
    Have you noticed the same thing if you use Vista OS for the daily work as Web-based applications or in the office?

  • Satellite A500 - nothing appears on the screen of laptop

    My laptop is a Satellite A500 and I had for about a year and a half, he has never dropped or slammed, and up to this point, it worked correctly, most of the time.

    One night, I unplugged and turned it off and the next morning, the display would not work. There was no flicker and the display had never before gone so far here. Curiously, some of the LEDs on the laptop keyboard area stopped work as well, such as the light touch pad, the volume key, etc..
    However, the webcam and power/network lights still work. In addition to these problems, everything still works and I can still use an external monitor, such as a monitor.

    Based on these details, does anyone have an idea as to what is the problem? Or how I should go about fixing it?

    If there is no reaction on the screen there must be a problem with the LCD connection to the motherboard.

    Without accurate diagnosis, it is not easy to say exactly, what may be defective. Fact is that all these symptoms say there must be a hardware problem and you should clear it with Toshiba service.

    Warranty is still valid?

  • Satellite A50 542: lines on the screen

    I have a Satellite A50 542.

    I turned on and all I have in front of me are a load of lines, cannot see through them.

    Anyone can suggest a remedy or solution?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Don't you see the same direction on the external monitor?
    If Yes, then the graphics card may be affected which means you need to replace the motherboard.

    If the lines are visible only on the internal screen, then the screen itself may be faulty.

    Have you tried to reinstall the display driver?
