Satellite A100 display empty but external vga works

Hello
my two-year old Satellite A100-847 screen has stopped working. I used the external VGA monitor for a few days,
and then switched back to laptop computer LCD and discovered that it doesn't work. It shows nothing, only the gray backlight.
The LCD does not work even at start-up in WIN XP, or AC or battery power. I tried to disassemble the screen according to some guide
to check if the cable is firmly in his place in connection to the LCD, but it has not solved the problem.
I use the original BIOS and the somewhat updated nvidia display driver, it worked fine until now, so I suggest this isn't a driver/bios problem.
(but maybe that is it, so I tried to install the original display with no effect driver.) I don't want to try to Flash the new bios and meet up with Kiss to the top view and bios too)
Video output for external monitor is quite well, start-up or in the victory.

Everyone sees a solution, please? Or should I just go to the service provider...
Thank you
Pepe

I think that it s a hardware problem of the display or the FL-inverter.
The FL inverter is part hidden somewhere close to the screen.
It controls the backlight of the display.

So you should go to an ASP, they can order the parts and exchange it or looking to ebay for a complete display and Exchange yourself.

  • After having cleaned my Satellite A100 display no longer works

    I opened my Satellite A100 to make sure it is clean. After opening it, I decided to close this back. After I put all the screws, and I turn on the laptop, there is no display on the screen but the mother/processor board works very well.

    Also, I reopened the laptop and checked the material and saw that near the port where you can connect a monitor, the white piece of hardware are separated, if I can connect these two back, I think I can make it work.

    Can someone help me please?

    Hello

    Looks like you have accidentally disconnected (removed) the FL inverter cable or video cable that connects the screen LCD with the jury.

    Usually it of not recommended and not recommended to disassemble the laptop if you have no experience. During this process other parts can be damaged and therefore jobs must be performed by a technician for laptop.
    I see that you have already opened the laptop and the warranty is not valid.

    It of always difficult to explain this procedure and so I goggled a bit and found this page useful:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

    The laptop described on the page is a Sat A105 but very similar to A100
    Good luck and be careful.

  • Satellite A100 - 906 internal LCD does not work

    Hello, I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-906, and I struggle with internal LCD. Only three gray belts are displayed with horizontal lines or without. Backligt works. External monitor works.
    Initially, the screen freezes sometimes but after short time continue to work. But now is still dead.
    What is defekt? LCD or graphics card? It's the Geforce Go 7600 with 256 MB.

    Help, please.

    > External monitor works too.
    You said that external monitor is not affected. Right?

    Well, in this case I think that the graphics card is OK and the problem is related to the internal display.
    If the graphics chip would be affected, both screens would not work properly.

  • The Satellite A100 created recovery, but DVD does not start

    I'm trying to reload a Satellite A100 with the DVD that was created when I started the laptop when he bought the news of recovery 11 months ago.

    I changed the boot order so that the DVD is first and when you restart, the drive runs at high speed, so it works

    No option is presented to be able to boot from this drive (as the usual "press a key to reboot from DVD")

    If I press F8 when booting I get a list of the options-led FIX YOUR COMPUTER that is highlighted.
    I then press ENTER and get a message "Windows is loading files".
    The system recovery options are then displayed, keyboard, layout, then the opening of the session, what I do using an administrator account.
    I am then presented with a screen with 6 system recovery options
    -Startup Repair
    -System restore - restore to an earlier point in time
    -Restoration of Windows complete PC (from backup)
    -Windows memory diagnostic
    -Command Promt
    -Restoriing the full Windows operating system

    There are 2 buttons {color: #000000} * low _S_hut * {color} and * _R_estart *.

    When I select the last option all I get is another screen with the message
    The complete oprtating of Windows System Restore *.

    If the pre-installed files are damaged you can use the product Recvoery DVD - Rom to restore (which is what I'm trying to do)
    A caveat against the loss of data is also included and then the OK button which, when clicked on resturns me to the previous screen without action
    If I select shutdown or restart it's there for that and boots from the hard drive.
    The disc is not damaged, I can copy him on system, then one more

    Can someone tell me how to start and recover from this drive?

    Hello

    Sorry, but you have misunderstood something. I'll try to be clear now:

    -Via recovery CD/DVD, you CAN NOT repair already preinstalled the operating system. Using Recovery CD/DVDs, you can make clean OS install only. Please note that, prior to installation, the procedure begins old BONE is removed.
    -Reading your ad, I think that you try to use Microsoft Vista of origin and not the recovery image options because when you start the recovery procedure is no different 6 menus

    Can you please tell me what is the problem with your Satellite A100? What are the files that you are trying to fix? What happens at the start of your laptop?

  • Satellite M30 - LCD white but the VGA output is ok

    Hello

    I have a Satalite M30-832, I got second hand. There is no output LCD, alough the lites back works.
    VGA output connector works very well.
    I reinstalled the video drivers and I have replaced the LCD screen, but still no joy.

    My question is, if anyone can help,

    1: what is a hardware (graphics chip) or a software problem.

    2: Diagnistic tools are there on the disc support

    Scarub

    Hi Simon

    I have a question;
    You said that your VGA port is ok.
    You you connected the external monitor that laptop and have you checked if you can switch the display to the external monitor?
    Please check if your external monitor works fine and if something appears on the second screen.

    This procedure would be useful to know what's exactly wrong with your laptop.
    If you would be able to connect the external monitor to the computer and the external monitor works then your graphics card is not faulty and the problem could be related to a defective laptop internal TFT screen.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A100 - display balack after replacing the LCD screen

    Hello

    So I'm trying to fix a LCD on a Satellite A100. The girl I am set as said she accidentally hit the screen with his hand and became black.

    When you turn on the laptop I can here windows activate, nothing is on the LCD screen. It is not the backlight, because I don't see anything on the screen at all. So I bought a replacement LCD screen and that one does not work either. Same question

    I think it is the inverter, any suggestions?

    Could be the sensor cover?

    Thank you! Kyle

    Hi Kyle,.

    Did you buy this new LCD screen to a service provider authorized? I ask this question because it would be interesting to know if it s a Toshiba valid a party or 3rd party a spare.

    Did you check the connection of the LCD cable? There may be a link to lose or the cable itself is touched.
    Theoretically, it might be the FL inverter too, but I doubt that. Otherwise, you'd see something on the screen but very dark.

  • Satellite A100-062 - USB mouse does not work

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-062.

    I've never been able to get a USB mouse to work with her.
    The OS is Vista Home Premium, whenever I have plug in a USB mouse, the operating system detects a device has been connected to the USB port, but eventually the message material has not installed successfully.

    So I have to rely on the touchpad, the problem seems to be limited to mice only, I've successfully used a USB webcam without incident.
    I tried several USB mouse with the machine exclude a problem with my original mouse.

    Has anyone else had similar problems?

    Thank you

    > So I have to rely on the touchpad, the problem seems to be limited to the mouse only, I have successfully used a USB webcam without incident.
    Looks like a problem with the USB mouse and not with the laptop or with USB ports
    I would recommend testing different mouse and using the other.

  • On the Satellite A100-784 Internet connection does not work

    I use a Satellite A100-784 with Vista Home Basic and a US Robotics router. My question/problem is that when I discover the network connection, it shows I am connected to the router, but not to the internet even though I am.

    It is a quirk of the Vista operating system or is it normal if you use a router? Should I worry or not?

    Thank you all in advance and my apologies for the newbie question.

    Each router must be configured and the right data ISP (internet service provider) must be inserted.

    -Don't configure you the router?
    -How about the TCP/IP settings? All the settings are set to automatic?
    -How about firewalls? Have you used one or you turn it?
    -Have you tested different browsers?

    Please check the points above.

    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.

  • Satellite A100 - keyboard and Touchpad are not working

    Hello

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100 to my daughter has developed a few flaws.

    First of all, the keyboard displays random characters like a stuck key. for example, if Google or Wordpad will be randomly type a single character over and over again even when no key is pressed. Sometimes it will also open windows or programs as sank the "enter" key, or scroll through the icons on the desktop.

    Second, the touchpad is inadmissible and cursor operation is not possible since the touchpad or buttons. I don't know if the two are related.

    She assures me that she has not spilled anything on the laptop, so any help would be appreciated to correct these mistakes.

    Thank you
    Brian

    Hello

    Can you notice the same problem with external input devices?

    Otherwise it s time for a service provider allowed. I think the keyboard and the touchpad should be replaced and the technicians can help you.

    On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of authorized service provider.

    Good luck! :)

  • The Satellite A200 display driver update do not work

    I tried to uppdate the displaydriver of my Satellite A200 (PSAE0). I downloaded from toshibas website. 7.14.10.1461 driver version. (vista 32 bit).
    But when I try to install the exe, I received a message that the computer do not have the minimi requirements to run the program.
    What could be the problem?

    I tried to update the driver removes I can't get any picture in WinTV, only sound. Used with the Hauppauge Nova-TD USB tv card.

    If you have installed some drivers Nova-TD or software I think you have screwed something.
    Achieve the clean OS install and you will see that you will need to install the driver to display without any problems.

    In my opinion it is certainly not a driver problem. The same driver, you can find in the recovery image and all proposed pilots are tested. So the problem must be something else.
    A few weeks ago I ve made some experiments on Satellite L500 nine friends. I tried to install the tuner TV USB Toshiba and Savvy TV software. Later, when I tried to run the software, I got message that laptop has not enough RAM or something like that.

    Something wrong with all this. Using other applications, everything works perfectly.

    So I think that there is something wrong with your software and additional hardware.
