Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

Hi friends,

I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

Please help me.
Thanks in advance

Hi Julie,.

It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE: Installation of Vista Edition Home Premium processor in a box

    Hi guys, I would like to ask you a difficult question for me :)

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with Windows Vista Home Basic 32-bit OEM Czech and
    DVD from Toshiba product recovery. I converted (boxed) Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 Eng as a gift
    There are. And now to the point :) - I would like to install this new Vista Home Premium instead of
    Home base OEM.

    1.) am I allowed to install Home Premium without any problem? (I'm worried the WinRE partition)

    2.) if I can't do it because of the WinRE partition, can I save this partition and remove it?

    (3.) if I do, I am able to download all the drivers from Toshiba site driver Toshiba (value
    added package for the most part)?

    4.) I am able to download all the utilities Toshiba?

    5.) if I use the product Recovery DVD in the future (with this Home Basic OEM), it will work if WinRE partition
    is deleted?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hello

    (1) you can install the new Vista easily. When installing new Vista installation program should create a new WinRE partition too. If don t be worried. But I recommend creating a backup of your important files such as mp3, photos, etc...

    (2) you can do the installation should be possible and should go smoothly. But don t forget to include the SATA drivers that are necessary to recognize the HARD drive. On the Toshiba page, you might find the Intel Storage Manager that contains the SATA driver. Include the driver during the installation procedure using the F6 key.

    (3) Yes, Vista drivers should appear on the page of the European driver Toshiba.

    (4) see point 3 ;)

    (5) the product recovery DVD will format the whole HARD drive. It will delete the partitions and all will remove the HARD drive. And it will also create the new WinRE partition. Simply said; the Toshiba Vista recovery DVDs will fix the laptop back to factory settings

    Kind regards

    Don t be angry with me, but who needs to know what you did on your laptop?

    Maybe you have something has changed accidentally or installed any 3rd party applications that could have a bad influence on the settings of Vista (Yes, that is possible) or you get any Virus or malware.

    You may be able to see the hidden files and system, because this option has been activated.
    So, try to activate the hide option in the folder options.

    Or you'll flip the BONE to the beginning!

  • Satellite 1800 - 752S - the screen turns off

    Hello world.
    I have a satellite 1800 - 752S.
    Since an ew months ithas a weird problem: the screen turns off. If I press and release the button the lid on what it is, but after that turns off again quickly. OT goes off sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. Sometimes it provides be when I run out of battery and bothers me on AC, sometimes against. It works fine, after I turn sleep or hibernation several times, and after a reboot, it bothers me. I've updated his BIOS for the lates on this site, which would not help. I guess it's a hardware problem, because it's the same problem under Linux, and I tried to install different versions of drivers and windows (not only the one of the recovery CD). Anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you very much
    Roman

    Hello

    I think you're right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try connecting an external monitor. If it works without problem while laptops, screen turns off, then it must be a hardware failure.

    I guess it's a problem with the FL inverter. You have to give your machine a service partner Toshiba for repair.

  • Satellite A100-784 (PSAANE) - CPU is 100% most of the time

    Hello

    I have this Toshiba Satellite A100-784 and it has Vista Home Basic as the operating system. The CPU is at 100% most of the time, and I don't know what to do more (I've eliminated all unnecessary programs that might have a background process). Sill, form 100% of the CPU, the core load takes 40 to 60% most of the time.
    I thought to install XP to make it work, but after reading the forum is not that simple, due to the fact that the HARD drive can be SATA.

    Can you help me with this situation? I can hardly work on this laptop and I think to change the brand if I don't find a solution to this, even Toshiba is my favorite.
    Thanks for your time answering this problem.

    Kind regards!

    All you have done is just, but you must understand that no one knows here Setup OS and what you've done in the past.
    If you are not satisfied with the way in which your laptop is now running the best thing you can do is to back up all your important data and install Vista using delivered Toshiba Recovery CD/DVDs.

    After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again.

  • Y560 screen turns off automatically

    Hi all

    My Y560 Ideapad screen turns off after 1 minute of inactivity.

    The parameters of current energy said it should do so after 5 minutes of inactivity. Any ideas?

    Figured it out. Turns out I have my screensaver set to 1 minute, and it was 'white '. Finally I remembered, I got "no screen saver". Maybe it has changed when I changed my desktop theme. (this is for Win 7)

  • Equium A100-027: can not get the screen turns off automatically in Vista

    Hello

    Got one of the new A100-027 of the load with Vista a couple of weeks. I can't get the screen to stop automatically when the appliance is left unattended. Standard windows screen saver or power options makes no difference. The screen is always on when I get back to the schedule of the machine later, I don t want to put a 'sleep' mode because the machine is internet access.

    In desperation I changed the option to close the display does not go into mode 'sleep', but it would be nice if the screen would make her s auto off, instead of having to close the screen every time.

    Thank you very much
    Chris

    A bit of an update, I found the screen stops automatically in normal conditions. But then, I leave the computer running a program of file sharing peer-to-peer on the net that he will not cut the screen down. Even minimize the program doesn t allow the screen to close.

  • Satellite A100 - PSAA5U SP2022 sometimes turns off randomly

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U-02G00G portable satellite and sometimes turns off the coast at random.
    The battery and charger are OK.

    I saw a bulletin saying a word on an update of the BIOS for A100 series for that matter.

    The problem is: I can't find my model or my BIOS to the toshiba support site.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t think that this could be linked to the BIOS
    In my opinion the reason for this problem could be a high temperature.

    You said that the laptop stops automatically?
    Usually, this occurs if the temperature reaches a critical threshold and the laptop stops to prevent the equipment from damage

    In most cases, the vents are clogged and air cannot circulate properly.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to check and clean the ventilation openings with a professional air spray.
    This could help them to get rid of dust and debris.

    For me, it's like the laptop overheating CPU. but I accept all suggestions on this subject.

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE RAM upgrade

    Hi guys,.

    I want to ask you for advice. I would like to change my 2 x 512 MB (SO - DIMM DDR2 533 MHz PC4300) to 2 x 2 048 MB (I use Vista 32 bit and I know that it will not use 4 GB of RAM, but I heard it is better to use two same modules). But I would ask what module I can use:

    1st http://kingston.mironet.cz/2048mb-sodimm-ddr2-533mhz-cl4-kingston+dp71838/

    or

    2nd http://kingston.mironet.cz/2048mb-sodimm-ddr2-667mhz-cl5-kingston+dp71837/

    Thank you for your advice :)

    Hello

    If you have the choice between the 667 Mhz and 533 Mhz module.

    The fact is that both modules must be compatible, but speed supported depends on the bus front end (FSB)
    If the FSB is 533 Mhz so your 667 Mhz will ONLY work at 533 Mhz.

    Simply put, said that the FSB might slow the speed of the memory.
    Then you should check what FSB, supports your laptop.

    You could install a free tool like Everest Home edition to a diagnosis of the hardware.

    Hello

    > It's kind of weird because on this model I have on board, Bluetooth means that my Bluetooth on board burned?
    > How can I check if my Bluetooth on board still work?

    First laptop was equipped with BT and the BT should work.
    I see that you have installed the OS manually

    If you want to check if the BT module still works then use the Toshiba Recovery CD and reinstall the new OS. The Toshiba Recovery CD contains and supports all the drivers of Toshiba and after the installation of the new and the laptop back to factory settings switching BT should work using the FN + F8 key combination.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE. Its a product abandoned now :-( I wonder if I can connect this laptop with the Sony Bravia LED TV via HDMI cable.
    I'm not able to find if the laptop is compatible for it.

    Hey Buddy,

    What do not know exactly?

    The laptop has only VGA and S-Video output port but no HDMI port. So that you can t connect the laptop to the TV because you can t connect the HDMI cable to your computer.

    If your TV is VGA or S-video port, you can use this cable. After the connection to the TV, press the key combination FN + F5 to switch between monitors.

  • Should I update Intel INF Utility on Satellite A100-784

    Hello

    Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE works without problem?
    If Yes, then why you want to update anything?

    I have followed this recommendation; never change a running system.

    And in addition only a hint: use always the Toshiba page tools and drivers. Don t install any driver tool from 3rd party page if it of not really necessary.

  • Satellite A100-784 - Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG off randomly

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Intel PRO Wireless 3945ABG wireless adapter.
    Today I was working with my friend on some project connected on his wifi sharing internet connection on Toshiba Satellite A100-510.
    After a while I lose the internet connection and I see that this blue icon is no longer in the test system.

    I try to use Toshiba ConfigFree but it was impossible to open, so I try to open the network connection of the control panel and after a period of time the network connection has been accessible and I saw that this network adapter is disabled. I try to activate three times but nothing.

    After rebooting, everything was ok and wireless adapter is turned on and ready to use for the next 10 or 15 minutes.
    First disable comes after two hours. I use Windows XP SP 2.

    The problem is that I have to restart my computer everytime where I lose internet connection (WiFi is turned off automatically).
    Everything is blocked its very hard to access the settings of network or toshiba configfree

    Thank you

    Try this:

    Update the BIOS of the laptop
    Update driver Intel Wireless LAN
    Use static IP addresses, instead of dynamic (DHCP)
    Temporarily disable your firewall software
    Update the Firmware on your Access Point
