• Satellite A100-049 screen remains empty when reactivated from sleep mode

  Intermittently, have been left for a while my screen A100-049 remains empty when reactivated from sleep mode. It does not meet the access keys and have checked the settings which seem to agree.

  Notice that in this case the power button remains 'blue' and not to return to 'Orange flashing. Is this a common problem?

  Hello

  What do you with the mode 'sleep'? Do you mean the hibernation mode or the mode booth? What operating system do you use?

  Listen buddy. It's really not easy to say why it happens without running diagnostic tests. I think you should try to update the graphics driver and check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS. Two updates might be useful in resolving these issues

  Good luck

• Satellite A100-237: I don't have the Catalyst Control Center after the installation of the driver

  Hello

  I use a laptop Satellite A100-237. 1.83 GHz Core Duo, Ati Mobility Radeon X 1600 512 MB Hypermemory, 1.5 GB of RAM DDR2.
  My laptop seems to now use only the own 256 MB RAM (own RAM graphics card).
  I bought Need for Speed Carbon and installed on my laptop.

  When I tried to open the game, a blue screen appeared for less than 1 second and the system rebooted. Windows said it was a critical mistake and a stopped driver Windows XP for work, so the system is restarted.
  I searched on the net for this problem, and the people said that when they pilot updated the problem is resolved.

  I downloaded the 8.241 display driver (download file name: display_xp - 8241.zip) Toshiba - Europe.com.
  Driver installed, but when installing ATI Catalyst Control Center, at one time installation process continuing collapsed. I had to end the task after a while.
  He said that the driver is installed and system must be rebooted.

  Now the game works, which is not the problem, but I do not have the Catalyst Control Center. (Where I recently use to connect other screens to my laptop)
  How can I solve this problem?

  Sorry for the long letter,
  Thanks for the help.

  Hello

  As suggested above, you can try to restart the installation but I guess that you will not be able to install the graphics driver of ATI origin on the manufacturing site.
  You can try to use the omega site ot driver drivers Toshiba orginal...

  @aportakal
  Anyway, the ATI MOBILITY RADEON X 1600 is not a memory sheared graphics card and this is why this card does not use the part of the main memory. It supports a 256 MB own memory.

• Satellite A100-237: Screen Dithered

  Hello
  I have problem with my screen on Satellite A100-237. Some colors (many of them; but others appear correctly, without this problem) it seems that halftone, example:

  http://img59.imageshack.us/my.php?image=lcdmg2.jpg
  (click again to the original size)

  The fill on the left must be a solid color, but you can see a sort of texture (groups of darker pixels) - as if the screen tries to simulate the color, which he was not able to view (technique called dithering, used in gif, for example). When I change the bit to 16 bit depth (I use 32-bit), it's better for some colors (like the one pictured), but he still presists. It's very distracting, especially in videos or games - the image on the screen go, but this 'texture' stays in the same place, so it is easily spotted.

  Can I do something with this? Is this a HW or SW fault, or is it considered to be "normal"?
  Does anyone have the same problem?
  PLEASE NOTIFY. THX.

  Hello

  This problem appears from the beginning and you have installed the operating system from the recovery CD?
  If not the case, please use the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD.
  Also have you tried to update the graphics driver? Please check the version of the graphics driver on the Toshiba driver page. If the new driver is available, please install on your laptop.

• Speakers satellite Z830 - 10 M is turned off when the lid is closed

  Hello

  I'm running a Z830 - 10 M with an external monitor. I want to close the lid of the portable computer, but use the internal speakers, but when I close the lid, the speakers will cease to resound!

  How can I fix it?

  Thank you.

  I guess that your laptop goes into mode standby when the lid is closed.
  Right?

  In this case, you must set the option to choose what closing the lid does nothing to

  This can be found in the control panel-> Power Options-> in the left column

• Computer user connection laptop turns off when the lid is closed

  How can I configure my laptop to disconnect the current user (switch not only users) and force them to close all programs when the lid is closed, and then switch to sleep mode?

  There is no direct option for this, but you can create a batch file that has orders for logoff, then the command for the night and have that run the trigger of "Lock Workstation".

  Task Scheduler allows many triggers.  Type Task Scheduler in your Start menu, and then click New task on the right side to explore your options.

• Laptop Dell Studio 1555 w / Vista does not wake from sleep when the lid is open.

  I have a laptop Dell Studio 1555 with Vista Premium 64-bit. Until last night, the laptop would run mode standby when I closed the lid and woke up when I opened the cover later. Yesterday I was downloading photos from a Canon camera via USB. I close the lid when I did. When I went to open the cover later the laptop screen remained in black and white. The power button is lit, but the only way I can get to meet is to hold the power button until it turns off completely, and then restart the laptop. A difference when the lid is closed, I think the power button will blink and turn off slowly while he was really in sleep. He remains on all the time now when the lid is closed. I tried to go into power management and put the laptop from sliding when the lid is closed, but has not made a difference.

  Run the system restore and choose a restore point created just before the problem occurred. Steve Winograd, MS - MVP (Windows desktop experience)

• Laptop starts up when the lid is opened

  I spilled some water on the laptop. I used AC power with no battery attached. When this happens, I quickly pulled the plug. I knew that the warranty does not damage the water so I dissamble each component and put them in dry box for a week. Then I used alcohol to remove all stains left behind.

  After I got everything back up, the laptop starts fine when the lid is closed and hooked to an external monitor. Can I use any program withou any problem. But it wouldn't start when the cover is open. It was as if someone was holding down the power button to force the computer to turn off.

  My question is, how the laptop detects if the lid is open or closed? It is magnetic, or is it using a switch as a reed switch?

  my laptop is HP Pavilion SleekBook 14 14-B031TU with the motherboard: DA0U33MB6D0-698523-001.

  Kind regards

  Most newer laptops have a sensor (switch) magnetic in the cover of the screen bezel or the touchpad.

  You can test that by sliding a small magnet around the telescope cover touchpad area and/or.

• Screen turns off when the Satellite A45-S250 is moved in the direction of less

  Hello.

  I have a satellite A45-S250. I had no previous problem with this machine. However, when the computer is running too long, or it is moved in the slightest way the screen turns off. I don't even have to type very slowly - or I lose the screen.

  But also, as I have said - sometimes I won't even be near the computer and the screen turns off. When I lose the screen if the light shines on it - I can see, it's always VERY fair Sun. Generally, it will come if I use the FN + F5 button.

  I don't know if it is a screen problem or a connection problem. It occurs with increased frequency. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  From your description, I assume FL converter is defective and must be replaced. FL inverter is responsible for the background light and the typical symptom for faulty FL inverter is dimming or blinking display.

• Satellite A100-785: router restarts automatically when the wireless network card is on

  Recently,.
  Once, I turn my adapter wireless for my laptop 'ON' and it starts to connect to my router 3com officeconnect wireless.
  I found that my router restarts automatically.
  This happens each and every time I turn on my laptop with the wireless adapter ON.

  I use the Satellite A100-785 PPPoE ISP with WPA/AES encryption enabled on the new MS Vista platform.
  All drivers updated to the latest versions, and the wireless signal is Excellent.

  Any suggestions that could be the reason or any recommendation to begin to investigate the matter?
  Everything will be highly appreciated. Thank you

  Once again; Your WLan router restarts (reboots) when you turn on the WLan on the A100 Satellite Map. Am I wrong?

  Well, it's strange, but to be honest I n t see a problem with the laptop but with the router. I would recommend controlled again the unique WLan router configuration.

  Good bye

• Computer screen remains empty when the computer is started.

  I recently moved my computer in a another part of the House and when I got back everything was working properly.  I was in the middle of the removal of unused on my computer programs when I had a program not responding do not message.  All the icons have disappeared off the screen and the taskbar, but I could still see the background.  I shut down the computer manually becase Ctrl + alt + delete didn't work.  Now, when I turn the computer on the gateway screen comes up and the green bar when windows is preparing to start, but it loads a blank screen. The only visible thing on it is the mouse pointer.  I tried to use the windows vista operating cd but it wont run it.  Any ideas?

  No you can hear it running.  I would say that it was computer games that I uninstall and the wireless card that I used on it, now it is connected directly to the wireless router. Also, I forgot to mention in the post above that I had the computer on it two weeks and when I had it up and running in the other room windows defender came on wanting scanner, so I let it scan and then the antivirus software did a scan of the computer.  They both finished without any problems.  My antivirus (McAfee) software installed updates at the time wherever it froze.

  go to safe mode (press f8 when you turn on your pc) then preform scan using

  Malwarebyte s

  and get avast download or try the mcafee update after scaning above programs using

  then in safe mode go to msconfig by typing it in the search box of windows and enter presing. then prepare your computer to clean boot by disabling all startup items and non-windows services. then restart?

  See if it solves your problem?

• Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE4E) - power off when the AC adapter is connected

  I bought this laptop for my wife about 2 years, since about 6 months ago, that the laptop was randomly shut off without warning, this only seems to happen while the power supply is connected as well.

  I have read several other posts on other sites with people having similar problems.

  There are various suggested corrections, you must disable the duel core in the bios so that it works only on one heart and he spend dynamic low for fans. I did this about 2 hours ago and touchwood not a single switch off again. This however is not an acceptable solution, there is obviously much more slowly.

  Another suggestion has been updated the bios, I downloaded it now but am very worried to run it, this laptop can stop at any moment, lasting from a few minutes to a few hours. If it stops while updating to bios, I doubt that it would be good news. I don't want to make it work on the single core for the rest of the day/night to see if its stable and then go for it.

  Before that, can I make a call to the toshiba helpline, I read on the forums that this is as well a defect of design within the laptop and there's a reminder of some of the laptops in the Canada, I do not know how it rings true but still a concern to read and might be unacceptable to the owners of the A200.

  Others have advised that it is an overheating problem, it's that I reject, I running SpeedFan and showing a stable 47 temp and it allows to switch off the coast immediately when turned on, yes it could be due to dust build up, something I checked and cleared, it did not a difference for the frequent switch offs.

  Im not too well why it is only when the power supply is connected, I have not tried a different PSU, but those who have had the same problem try this and it has not solved the problem.

  When I unplug my power as well the battery seems last mabye 5 minutes at the most.

  Overall, Im very unhappy all this, toshiba is a brand of 'high' where you expect better quality and pay for it.

  If anyone has any suggestions please let me know, would be also good to hear talk of toshiba support on the issue.

  Hmmmmm... interesting.

• 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!

• Satellite U300 will switch to standby when the lid is closed during shutdown

  My U300 is set to go in mode 'sleep' whenever I close the lid, as most of the laptops I use. But when I shut down this computer and close the lid, it goes to sleep Mid-stop!

  This means that when I want to stop, I have to wait until it finishes and then when I open it again I have to wait until it stops and starts then, often to see that the battery is almost dead too! Any fix for that?

  Hello

  To be honest, I don't see any problem there. The same thing happen on my Satellite P200 preinstalled Vista. The process of closing time and if you interrupt close laptop screen, it makes sense that, after you open the Vista will continue stop procedure.

  For you, it will be better to make the best configuration of the laptop. Just for example:
  -If you want to switch to sleep mode use FN + F3 key combination. After a few seconds, the laptop will be in standby mode and you can close the lid
  -Use the power option and choose the option STOP for when I close the lid

  On this way, you will have perfectly configured OS for your needs and no problem more. I use the same configuration.
