Satellite 5100 - Question about dead pixels. Is - this really dead pixel problem?

Hello

I've got Satellite 5100 603. There was a few pixels on the display. I don't know what is really dead pixel problem or not because the black area appears to be behind the screen. When I move the left and right sides, the black area move too much left and right (as if the black box is behind the pixels of the screen)! And I can say that all the pixels work OK when watching from the sides right and left of the screen (because the pixels that appears to be dead, changes in search of different angles).

Are there really dead pixels or is it another problem?
Can I do about it?

FYI, I use my laptop for 2,5 years and there is no guarantee of course...

Thanks for any help...

Hello

Because of your description, it is not easy to give you a proper answer. On my old laptop, I had two dead pixels and it was easy to see the boot process. At the beginning, you can see home screen Toshiba and dead pixels are usually green (the background is black).

Sorry but there is nothing to do. You have to live with it because the display is very expensive.

    Hello

    If you open your notebook and do something about yourself, you will lose your warranty.

    Just FYI; 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. As far as I know because of this method of connection, upgrade the CPU is not possible.

  • Satellite M30: Questions about the battery, SD, energy-saving card reader

    1. After looking through the forums, it seems that my problem is not uncommon: my Toshiba Satellite M30 seems to have a life of the battery for about 10 minutes. Power not connected to the adapter, Windows detects 100%... 99%... Then 3%. Throughout the life of the battery is about 10 minutes, and I don't know why. Does anyone know? (Info from BG: laptop about 2 years, not too used)

    2. How will I know exactly WHAT model of Toshiba Satellite M30 I? (There is a code after the M30-part - I need this to find out what batteries I need to buy to replace)

    3. What is the nearest Service Center, I can talk to the United Kingdom with regard to my battery problem? From Toshiba Web site lists 20 companies different with Toshiba in them to the United Kingdom, and I have no idea which we touch!

    4. my SD card reader is a bit faulty. To put a SD card, no message appears to recognize the card - the laptop just doesn't recognize at all, and I do not see "SD card" or equivalent in "My Computer". However, if I put an SD card, and then restart the computer, I can see the SD card, it simply does not update while the computer is on, when I restart - cures for this?

    5. Finally, can I download the software of management of TOSHIBA POWER SAVER? I downloaded from this site but right now the only option when I open the TOSHIBA CONSOLE is 'Mouse' - there is no standby power options or network options or anything.

    Thanks in advance, sorry there are so many questions and they are so different!

    Cheerio,

    Hello

    1) looks like a dead battery. It s not unusual that the battery will discharge performance after about 2 years. As far as I remember, you can load and unload the battery for about 500 times. After this period, the lifetime battery decreases faster. The same symptom occurs for example with a cell phone battery. I think you should ask the new battery Toshiba service partner. PS: The guarantee covers the battery for about a year.

    (2) it's very easy at the bottom of the unit, you will find a label with the serial number and the name of detailed specifications.

    (3) visit this site:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true
    You will find the database with ASP together all over the world. These guys are responsible for replacements, repairs, etc.

    (4) number of SD card is very strange. On my Satellite SD card window opens if I insert the SD card. You can try to remove the SD card from the Device Manager reader and after that new reboot, the OS should has new charge card CD driver. Eventually, it helps.

    (5) I don't know what you mean exactly but on the Toshiba driver page, you will find the tool power Toshiba compatible and taken in charge. If you have downloaded from the area Sat M30 driver so I think you can use it only on this laptop.

    take easy B-)

  • Satellite 4090xcdt / question about CPU upgading & batteries

    Hello

    I just joined the forum. Looks really good.

    I inherited a satellite 4090xcdt (PAS409EYX-ENX). He had 4 gig ' ish HDD, Celeron CPU (300 or 400 MHZ?), 64 MB of RAM and win 98.

    me and my boyfriend has replaced the HARD drive with 80 GB model (the original was on his last breath), upgrade of RAM as it could by adding a key to 256 MB to the current 64 MB.

    It helps a lot and allows us to run Win XP Home and now added a wireless card.

    2 questions.

    I can get a Celron M 700 MHz processor - I can it whack in the 4090xcdt?

    Is there a good source cheapish of spare batteries - as the mounted one, last about 5 minutes when it is turned off!

    Thnaks for the search - any help appreciated.

    Hello

    OK, I studied a little and it seems that this laptop has an Intel Celeron 400 MhZ CPU.
    To my knowledge it s not advisable to replace the CPU s on the laptop. Some CPU is soldered on the Board.
    Of course, I read some reviews on the replacement of the CPU, and some people were able to replace or upgrade. BUT laptop computers did not work properly. Sometimes, don t cooling modules work or BIOS have had problems with the APCI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
    In my opinion you shouldn't do it! Perhaps you may also damage the motherboard.

    Well, you should also always use the Toshiba battery recommended. A bad battery can damage the laptop. As far as I know the battery on this laptop should have these properties:
    Lithium Li-ion 10,8 V, 3, 600 mAh, reference number: PA2487U

    You should be able to buy these batteries in every store of the laptop. Of course, you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country. Here, you can order the original.

  • Satellite L40 - question about the CPU temperature

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 17 Q with Intel Celeron M CPU.

    The usual device temperature is about 60 degrees Celsius. I read that the Tj to this type of processors is 100 degrees Celsius.

    So my question is dedicated to the owners of laptops equipped with Intel Celeron M processors and of course for the hardware gurus.
    Is the operative temperature of 60 degrees Celsius of normal, and if not how do I decrease.
    My laptop is new and I make sure that the air flow openings are not jammed.

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Don't worry, the CPU temperature. 60 degrees Celsius is certainly within the normal range, and there is no reason to worry about this. On my laptop Tecra, I noticed the temperature CPU about 62 degrees Celsius and drive HARD around 40 degrees Celsius.

  • Satellite C650 - Question about cooling fan

    I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite C650 with processor i3 Intel and Windows 7 Home. When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air (there only the circle mark on the case under the cooling fan). Pls confirm me it is a manufacturing defect or not.

    I also ran a cpu + the base temperature software and find core temp goes up to 72 ° C in one step and I feel very hot blowing through the radiator.

    Hey Buddy,

    > When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air
    Who is normal and it s according to the laptop and the material. Different laptops have different cooling systems. This would mean that there are some laptops with no holes directly under the fan air intake. For fresh air holes are placed elsewhere to generate some air flow. If the other pieces of equipment can be cooled as well.

    There are already some threads here in the forum and as you can see it's really normal:

    How did you check the temperature?
    Always it is if everything works well don t care about the temperature. In this case, that the laptop could overheat, it would off himself to protect the equipment. ;)

  • Satellite C650 - Question about the capacity of the HARD disk

    I just bought a Satellite C650. The specifications indicate 320 GB hard drive, but the diagnostic system indicates the disk space is 286 GB (free capacity is GB 261).

    Please indicate why this might be the case.

    Hi 12345,

    It is normal that you lose disk space after formatting the drive. 286GB is the normal capacity of a formatted hard drive 320, so everything is ok with your laptop.

    If you want to learn more about capacity on hard drives and need more technical information, why you only 286GB you can read this interesting Wiki:

  • Satellite 4090xcdt - Question about hardware upgrade?

    Hello!
    I want to upgrade the hardware in my old satellite 4090xcdt so I want to know what is possible.
    1. HARD drive: is there a maximum or something else?
    2 DVD: is it possible to replace the CD on a dvd player? How can I remove the cd player?
    3 CPU: is it possible to replace the CPU with a bit more recent? If so, how?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    This unit is an oldie. It s about 7 years and as far as I know it has been bundled with a 4 GB HARD drive.
    Unfortunately I put t believe that more HARD drive be recognized on this laptop.
    The series XCDT supports 4GB max and XDVD series supports hard drives 6 GB.
    Xdvd models were shipped with a DVD - rom drive and these models have been supported: SD-C2102 and SD-C2202
    In addition, it is not possible to upgrade the processor.

  • Satellite A300 - question about the MIDI connection

    Can someone help me?

    I have a computer laptop satellite A300 and want to connect it to my computer to stream TV and movies.
    I don't see where I would plug MIDI to my computer.
    Is it possible to do with this model?

    If not, can I get a plug that would stretch the capacity of the computer or I have to get a new computer?

    Thank you

    Sorry, but I m confused
    You said you want to connect the Satellite A300 to a computer
    Is this correct?

    You can connect two computers via a LAN cable. But I have no idea why you talking about connecting MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface)

  • Re: Satellite L750-Question about a data Partition

    L750 HARD disk is divided as follows:

    Drive C: 232 GB
    D drive: 233 GB (recovered files)
    System:?

    I'm not sure, if drive D is the one where do I place my own data, why must the files of recovery that probably should be in a separate partition. Can I create a new partition in the disk D for my own personal data that I don't want to place it with the recovery files in case they are accidentally deleted?

    In addition, I don't want to put my data on the C drive.

    > I'm not sure if drive D is where should I place my own data...
    Why not? What is the problem? Why is - what are irritated you with existing collection case here?
    I n t have Satellite L750 but if you can see folder HDDRecovery there you can set it to be hidden and you see it, but it will always be there. After doing this, you will not be able to accidentally erase.
    >... Why does have the files for recovery that probably should be in a separate partition.
    It doesn't have to be on a separate partition.
    > Can I create a new partition in the disk D for my own personal data that I don't want to place it with the recovery files in case they are accidentally deleted?
    There no sense to create a third partition if you already have the second partition D. use this partition to save all the data of a personal nature. I do the same.

    By the way: s user guides described document that you must create recovery DVDs. This recovery with the recovery image DVDs can be used for installing the OS. In General, after the creation of recovery disks, you can even remove data recovery. Don t move anywhere data recovery. Result may be that you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  • Satellite A40: Question about product dvd recovery

    Hello

    Please help me on my computer toshiba Satellite A40 laptop...
    I want to reformat my HARD drive with operating system XP...

    My first question is, it installs my XP OS after that I run the recovery cd?
    I'm afraid that after I run the recovery cd, I'll lose my OS XP...

    I don't have an XP CD... I only got this product recovery cd (disc1)

    There a disc2 because the cd that I got was just disc1...

    Please help me with this...
    Thank you

    Restore CD contains recovery image. Recovery image include the operating system, drivers, utilities and software tools extra.

    When you install recovery image you own preinstalled WXP. For cell old models were most two disks: 1/2 and 2/2 so if you the second you will not be able to install the OS completely.

  • G25-AV513: Questions about the use of this device

    I recently bought the Qosmio G25-AV513 but it was an open box, so I went back there and has been convinced, it was beautiful... so I started to set up at home and low and behold... bad pixels. So I went back and asked when would happen more... and I was told no more are regular and doubtful if they will be. But they have another oped model that runs like new...

    So the question I have. I'll buy this mainly for use high game... dunno if I should adjust for this model... now that I know, that a newer version came in the second week of January... but if it is not suitable for use games and audio/video I lost out on the G25.

    All recommendations... ?
    Do you think that this new model would be the next progression or and a good bet... or just different and not worth risking the g25 on.

    Hello Kerry

    Of course, you have an American machine and the hardware configuration is not known to me. The fact is that each new unit has especially more recent pieces of material (more MB on graphics card) or more of RAM. Qosmio G20 G25 United States is a great unit. A friend of mine has one and the game works fine.

    In my view, you can compare your device with a newer version, but if you like playing games, in my opinion, the G25 is the right one.

  • Satellite A210 - question about the battery life

    I have a problem: my laptop works only 1 hour of unplugged to electricity, so my battery died after working of 55minutes (I mean I look at the pictures or typing in WORD). Is this normal? How long is the average battery life?
    My model is SATELLITE A210/1AP (4000mAh) (my laptop is new; I bought it a week ago)
    Please write how much your maximum battery work.

    It is not easy to discuss this topic. With similar activity, I can use my Satellite A200, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. I don't know how you're using your laptop, but I recommend you to use all the power settings that can make the life of the battery a little longer.

    Check the method of cooling, power profile, reduce the brightness of the display and turn off WIFI if you do not use and so on.

    You must also understand that Vista needs far more resources than Windows XP Home edition and the life of the battery under Vista is not identical with Windows XP Home edition.
