Satellite 4030CDT - traction of screen

Do not know if I m in the right section...
I have a laptop second hand satellite 4030CDT and screen has no traction and will not itself upward.
None of the dealers have them an idea like I m on an island in Spain!

Anyone know if I can fix myself with the right tools?

Thanks in advance

Hi Rebecca,.

It seems that if friction depends on your laptop have been allowing the screen/lid to fall rather than hold its position.

Unfortunately, it won't be easy for you to fix it yourself. You will need to get a new hinges and then strip dwon Notepad in order to install them.

I would recommend that you contact an authorized Service Agent Toshiba.

Best wishes

    Hello

    According to your description there is certainly some malfunction of the display. If everything works with external display, this means that you might not suspect graphics card. The display must be replaced.

  • A few questions on its use with the Satellite 4030CDT

    I'm not very computer saavy. We have an old satellite 4030cdt. My son wants to use it to access the internet. What should I get to this point? We have the possibility to connect to internet wireless in the House with another laptop. In addition, the screen is not complete on the laptop. How do we get an extension on the screen. We tried to do it via the control panel and settings but us will not change it.

    Hello

    Maybe you should first check all the components in the Device Manager and make sure the drivers are installed. It will be interesting to know what operating system is preinstalled on this old notebook. Please let me know.

    If I remember well that laptop has no LAN card. Am I right about that? If yes then I recommend to buy the PCMCIA LAN card. Install properly and you can connect to your router and enjoy Internet at full speed.

    To be honest, I don't know what you mean with the larger image on the screen. Perhaps you should choose the standard screen resolution lower resolution screen, but on this laptop is 1, 024 x 768 and I think it should be OK.

    It is not bootable USB 4) in two books. How can I solve this problem? If I buy PCMCIA SATA or USB controller will boot them?

    It is not easy to find these info, but maybe you can use 10 GB of HARD drive. I don't know about you.
    The BIOS update has nothing to do with it and new version of the BIOS is not designed to increase the values of upgrade hardware, but to correct serious problems.

    According to the specification of the computer laptop Satellite 2550CDT has Celeron 366 CPU and Satellite 2590CDT Celeron 400. Both processors have the same bus clock I presume that you can upgrade the processor Celeron 400.

    Try to contact the nearest authorized in the hope that they can help, but, to be honest, I'm not sure they're going to waste their time with these oldies.

    (4) there is nothing to fix, because it isn't a feature not work type. These oldies can't boot from the USB port. And how you want to enable the PCMCIA port work like port bootable? Forget it.

  • Satellite T130 - 10G Touchpad screen pointer gets stuck in random patterns

    Satellite T130 - 10G Touchpad screen pointer gets stuck in random patterns and laptop computer must be restarted to restore functionality
    The center of the causes of "touchpad button" toggle switch by pressing the touchpad pointer to enter a random State like two fingers to zoom.

    Sometimes, he'll be back to normal, but most of the time the computer should be put to sleep or restarted to restore functionality.

    a. I tried turn off all touch pad feature one item at a time and all, he still has some weird random State.
    (Did not try the impossible combination need $ to be interested but went to the 90% level)

    b. I tried disable the touch pad buttons offending and only using the mode tap the buttons and the problem still persist.

    c. Finally, tried bending the entire keyboard instead of pressing the buttons and it has also created the problem.

    This leads me to believe either the power key or flexion of the entire keyboard is originally is

    a. flexion of the touch pad causing the driver getting into a crazy State or require a recalibration.

    b. electrical connections causing the driver enter a crazy State or require a recalibration of bending.

    Note: I have reinstall the latest version of the driver.
    Also: American Toshiba support site that this problem exists in the notebooks of May.

    Also: The touchpad is too sensitive, which makes it very unusable!

    CAry

    Have you tried to install the operating system and check the functionality of the touchpad with the factory settings?
    Recovery image contains tested the touchpad and right and I don't think that helps the driver installation.

  • Satellite U920T-117 - touch screen does not work & off restarts

    Just opened my new u920t-117, my first time buying a Toshiba, 5 mins in and excitement began to turn to you to worry.

    I really hope that its makes me something simple, bad, or at worst a software problem.

    At no time the touch function works (either in tablet mode or laptop).
    In the--> system under Pen & Touch Panel it says "no net or touch entry is available for this view ' as my last computer that had no touch screen.

    This means - there is a problem with the driver, or something.

    It also appears when I click on stop down it stops down and 5 seconds later starts again.

    Hi stephen

    > I really hope that its hurts me something simple, or at worst a software issue.

    I'm afraid the worst cases are a hardware malfunction, and I guess that your contact U920T Satellite malfunctions of the screen.

    I read in another thread about the similar problem, and it seems that service engineers must be contacted in order to solve these problems of touchscreen.

    I don't know if you could ask your dealer for a replacement unit but in the case where the dealer replace the laptop, get in touch with a Toshiba ASP your country to fix.

  • Satellite 4030cdt dead

    I'd appreciate advice for my dead satellite 4030cdt, it is totally dead no response from all power button, power supply works fine the main battery and battery cmos have a little tension on them, I disassembled the laptop right and checked all the connections, 15v DC is present on the motherboards power socket all internal fuses, I can see were buzzes on, the fault I would say is related to the power and I was wondering if there was some known defects of power with this model, I don't really want to bin this piece much honey Kit and everything I buy spare parts could be expensive if I buy by mistake also nobody knows if the laptop must behave normally with battery removed because it would be the most obvious fault.

    Sorry if it was all a bit much to start with, but I'm scratching my head on this one, any suggestions greatly appreciated

    Hello

    Unfortunately, it is not easy to say what's wrong on your laptop.
    If the adapter works properly so I guess there must be something wrong with the motherboard or the CPU.
    In this case, you should contact Toshiba service because it can start a diagnostic test and can give you a precise answer on the fault.

    Subject of the battery: Yes, you can use your laptop without the battery if the power adapter is plugged. It s advisable to remove the battery if you use Notepad with AC adapter / CC.

  • Update disk on the Satellite 4030CDT

    Hello!

    First "Sorry!" for asking such a stupid question.

    I've Googled, manuals, forums, eBay... but nowhere find an answer exactly. I have an old laptop Satellite 4030CDT. I want to change the old 4, 3 GB of hard drive for a bigger to use it as an MP3 player and musicvideo in my bathroom.

    Can what type of hard drive (space) I use? Is it possible to use a higher than 40 GB HDD? The latest version of the BIOS is installed but I have found no info on higher disk space. Hope someone could help me.
    Thank you and greetings from the Germany
    Micha

    Hello Mich

    Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find much info on this old laptop model. According to some info on the net this laptop was designed in 1999 and you must understand that there is not much info on these books.

    I don't really know what is the capacity of HARD drive max, that you can use, but if you need it for music I think only 20 or maybe 30 GB should be enough and I hope that the full capacity will be recognized correctly.

    20 GB hard drives are more expensive and you can get n eBay for little money. Buy one and test it with your good old classic.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Care about disk HARD of Satellite 4030CDT

    Hello

    I own a laptop Satellite 4030CDT. It runs under Windows 98 SE.

    I would like to upgrade its default disk (4 or 6 GB, I don't know now) to something bigger, so I can install Linux next to the existing Windows partition.

    Can anyone here give me the specs should I look for in a new drive? Thermal or limitation of power, I should look for?
    All versions of the BIOS should I put up-to-date? (one of my friends said that if the BIOS is old enough (this computer was purchased around 1999) then it does not take in charge the larger disks).

    The two changes I've done with it so far are:
    1 update the BIOS to the latest version from last year, to make it possible from the CD.
    2 installed 128 MB of additional memory, so now he has 192Mo (as I understand is the maximum possible).

    Thank you

    -Amos

    Hi Amos

    You are right on the RAM. For this unit 192 MB of RAM is max.

    As much as I know there is not any specification of maximum size of HARD drive that can be used for this device. This kind of solutions providers HDD are competent. Please take a few information on the net and you will find specific information on this subject.

    I found on this HARD disk a single seller in my country has 20 GB and 30 GB HARD drive for this model of laptop.

  • Satellite L510 shows white screen with a cursor frozen only

    {color: #000000} After turning on my Toshiba Satellite L510 the splash screen displays an image, then the pass empty with a cursor frozen in the upper left corner.
    I am currently using Windows 7, but the computer will not load in front of the start screen.

    Because there is some personal information on the hard drive that has not been saved, I hesitate to do a system restore in the fear of losing all my data.

    Someone had similar problems recently?
    Anyone has a good solution to retrieve my personal files and restore the computer to a good working order?
    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards

    Hey Buddy,

    I think that you can't do anything more. In my opinion, you did everything write and now it s time for professional help because it seems to be a malfunction of equipment that should be checked to a service center.

    You should contact the guy and ask for help. I think that everything can be clarified with them.

    In addition, you can access data from another PC. You only need an external HARD drive enclosure that creates an external HARD drive.
    And maybe you can keep the HARD drive at home if the service center don t need.

    My Toshiba Satellite PRO M70 screen lights.

    It started a few days without something strange in my pc like hitting or something like that.

    Anyone know why it cant pass or how fix it?

    Hello

    The Fn keys work?
    You can increase the display button narrowly by using the FN + F7 combination?

    Please also check the energy saving profile.
    Maybe the display brightness is set to a lower value in the power saver profile.

    But if you will not find anything unusual in the settings of the software, so I guess that the brightness display problem is related to the failure of inverter FL.
    The FL inverter controls the brightness of the screen, and this part needs to be replaced.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - screen Black/Brown problem

    Hi all

    I want to share one problem that I have with my cell phone, just to see if anyone of you already experience or maybe you know some options how to solve this problem.

    I bought a Satellite Pro C50 - A model in January 2014, with 8.1 Windows preinstalled. A few weeks ago, I lived for the first time the question.

    Work with the laptop, the screen turns off suddenly. The laptop still works, that I've already connected to another screen and keyboard and the mouse works, everything. Even if you focus a little bit on the screen of the laptop, you can see the shape of what I'm doing, but very very dark, almost extinct.

    First time it happened, I was able to fix after a few attempts, unplug the laptop DC and taking the battery, then pressing the power button / stop for 30 seconds. I had to do this several times, and then it started working.

    The issue seems to be fixed, but yesterday it happened again, with the bad luck that do the same process is not enough... He worked for 1 min and then it turned off again...

    I don't know what I can do, as last option I would like to reset to factory settings, but it's something I want to jump.

    In the past, some people have reported on similar problems, and the reason was bad FL inverter.
    The warranty is still valid, so I think that you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.
