• Satellite A300 - system still works, but the screen is blank

  Hello

  I was downloading an update of tempro toshiba (synco or something in that sense) for my laptop Satellite A300 and the frozen screen. I pressed the power button for 5-10 seconds until it is turned off. When I turned it the system seemed to work but the screen is completely black.

  I tried to remove the battery, and fn + F5 but the screen still won't turn on.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated.

  Hello

  It happened because of the updated BIOS, or during the common software update?
  In case it was an update of the BIOS I recommend contact the ASP in your country, because it seems that the ROM module must be flashed again.

  If it happened during a common software update, so I advise to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour.
  Then reconnect the two parts and check to see if you could power the laptop properly!

• Satellite A100 - screen has stopped working

  Hello

  yesterday in vista, he said that he detected an external monitor, even if I never used any external monitor to my laptop. In display properties, he said I had several monitors and in Device Manager it says that I had a pnp and a monitor not Plug-and-Play...

  The screen has stopped working after a reboot. I see nothing on the screen during the loading process indicating normally the toshiba and the vista loading screen. But once vista has started (the sound still works), the screen works again.

  This has me worried and I reinstalled vista from the cd, but now the screen never... never.
  But I know that vista has been correctly installed that after what he asked, can I still use alt + f4 and enter to stop.

  Well, I can't even make troubleshooting procedures on my own that never, the screen now works. -.-
  Does anyone have experience with this?

  Hello

  I've never heard of such question it s so very interesting to hear about this issue. Given that you never connected an external monitor, it must be something else...
  Did you ever done some update the BIOS on this machine?

  Maybe, if you have some, this could be the problem. Otherwise, I have a work around (it could be useful):

  Remove the AC adapter and the battery from the machine and leave the machine for some time (1-2 hours). Then, start the machine and check if it works.

  If this isn't the case, then you must send your machine to the service since it could be a serious hardware problem (I mean if you really reinstalled vista and problems persist after the reinstallation, then it IS definitely a hardware problem).

  You can also try some update BIOS if it is not already done...

• Satellite A100 screen had a few scratches

  Hi all, I hope I'm posting in the right section...

  My problem is that for a long time, when my laptop was my offbeat system idle and froze. When I forced a reboot the screen has some scratches.

  Once the program loaded grub (double ubuntu/win7), he had a few random weird letters instead of the correct letters.
  After the Boot animation windows, the screen remains blank. I rebooted and tried to log in to ubuntu.

  Ubuntu was telling me something about some error and told me to go under the low resolution.
  Using sure start in windows, I was finally able to enter windows system too. I disabled the driver (?) graphics in the Device Manager, and since then he has been able to start normally, in low resolution, what is.

  The question is, if my graphics card is broken? Because sometimes, the display looks good again. (I see that because there are no weird scratches and I'm able to start with a high resolution). But there again it is broken once again):

  I tried to reinstall the graphics driver many times, but it did not help. And it should be the newest!

  On my system:
  Satellite A100
  nVidia GeForce Go 7600

  Any help/tips/advice much appreciated! Thank you

  > The question is, if my graphics card is broken? Because sometimes, the display looks good again. (I see that because there are no weird scratches and I'm able to start with a high resolution). But there again it is broken once again):

  I'm scared, Yes. It looks like a faulty graphics card.
  You can try to connect the external monitor to the laptop and could check if the same would be visible on the second monitor
  In most cases if the GPU is affected, the stripes are visible on the screen, internal and external.

  Well, in this case you would need a new motherboard. :(

• Satellite A100 - 153 (PSAA9E) - how to update display drivers?

  Hello!
  I need a current display for my ATI Radeon Mobility X 1600 driver in my laptop Toshiba Satellite A100-153 PSAA9E.

  I can not install the Catalyst Control Center (and therefore the latest driver). It says to me "this driver is not compatible with your system. Contact the manufacturer.
  In the magnificent... download section are the only drivers of 2006 for my X 1600. Anyone know how I can install current drivers? Is it possible to avoid the 'blocking of Toshiba' for display drivers?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy!

  The display on the original ATI site driver is not designed for graphics cards for laptop and so that you can install t. In addition he doesn t have an overheating protection and therefore can damage your graphics card! It s on your own risk!
  If you want the ATI driver, you must use Mobility Modder. Then you can install it, but don t forget s about your risks and perils and you will lose the warranty.

  The drivers from the Web from Toshiba site definitely work for your laptop then why you want to install a different driver?

  Good luck!

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A100 (PSAANA-04E005) than just doesn t power up. The power button lights up, but the screen remains black, and you can hear things from fan.

  I tried to remove the battery and running only one AC, tried the recovery disk and everything I could find on troubleshooting, but it s just not work.
  More disappointing is I JUST realized out of warranty - timing is far from perfect...

  Can someone please help with some info so I can get my system back up and running?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated...

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  I put t know if this will help, but in my case it worked in the past.
  -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
  -wait for about 30-40 min, also try a longer period
  -then reconnect the two parts to the laptop and try to turn on the machine

  If it helps then you are already lucky, if not well: (.) You will need to contact the ASP guy in your country for assistance

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 screen backlight is disabled

  I'm having a problem with my Satellite A200.

  When the screen is opened, the backlight is disabled. You can vaguely see the screen keep it turned on, but it is too small to read.
  When you close it, you can see the screen backlight turns on, it stays on for just less than one second when you re - open the lid, and then turns off again.

  I guess that it has something to switch the lid being faulty.
  Can someone suggest solutions.

  Thank you very much
  Anthony

  This part of the message is very interesting:
  > You can vaguely see the screen keep it turned on, but it is too small to read.

  According to your description, you can see the screen and eventually the office too, but the entire screen is very low as behind a thick fog.
  Could this be just?

  Well, I think that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL.
  The FL inverter is a tiny part hidden behind the frame of the screen and it controls the backlight of the screen s.

  In my opinion, this part should be checked by a technician for laptop.

• Satellite A100: Screen turns off after a while of no action and cannot be reactivated

  Hi all
  I'm after a bit of advice/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on during an extended period with no keyboard (like DVD burning), the screen is empty. It does not matter the keys on which I support on I can't get it back. The only way to get out of what I've found is to reboot the machine.
  Any help would be greatly appreciated

  Hello Gary

  Try please install the latest display driver, you can find on the download page of Toshiba. It is also recommended that you update the BIOS with the latest version available.

• Satellite A100 - USB not working not not after installing XP

  Hi guys

  I am reloading Satellite A100 PSAA9A OCV004 for a friend he lost discs, so I loaded a legal copy of XP home everything goes well so far but I can't get the USB works any ideas?

  TNX Mick.

  Hi Mick,

  Have you installed new Service Pack 3 for Windows XP? This is important because it contains many important updates.

  After the installation of Service Pack 3, you can start with the installation of the driver. Everything you download from the site Web of Toshiba.
  It is also important that you install the chipset driver.

• My Satellite A100 GPU fan works 100% all the time

  First: I have the Satellite A100-440 with GeForce Go 7300 and XP Professional (and Ubuntu).

  There is something wrong with thermal control. The first PC Wizard has always shown that the temperature of my GPU is "a very large number" and the fan is runnign 100% all the time (the main problem). Then I installed ATItool hoping he would show the temperature correctly. Well, it worked in part. Now when I check the temperature with PC Wizard, it indicates the temperature of the GPU normally (like 30-40 degrees celsius), but it also shows the GPU Diode temperature it's "a very large number" (as 4.294967E + 09 C) and the fan will operate at 100%.

  I tried to control fans with RivaTuner, but nothing happens.

  So if anyone has an idea how I could continue to solve the problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know if the problem is with the hardware (I could take this service) or with the software...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Why are you talking about 'problem' and 'solve this problem?
  I see no problem!
  First of all I'm not all 3rd party applications that monitor temperatures. I'm not 100% sure if these applications provide a good values.

  However, as far as I know the laptop was shipped with Vista and not XP and Linux. You do not use a factory settings. It seems that you have set up the laptop with new applications and you should know that all the software installed and running insists on the CPU and other parts.

  BIOS fan table supports different temperature and cooling of the speed measurements. This means that if the temperature rises to a higher level, the cooling module starts and tries to decreases the internal temperature.

  Usually the temperature depends on the use of the laptop. If several processes of the OS are running in the background, that the CPU performance are high, the temperature rises and the fans start to run. There is nothing unusual about it.

  Furthermore, the dust and debris inside the laptop might have a bad influence on the laptop cooling. From time to time, it is advisable to clean the cooling modules.

  Last but not least the laptop must be placed free on table to ensure the circulation of air correctly. Don't forget that there is enough free space around the laptop.

  Finally, I must say that one of my friends has an A100 and the fans run correctly.
  This means that the cooling modules works with maximum performance while playing games or using graphics software.
  However fans do not work with maximum performance using only common programs like IE software or office.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 - where can I get new display drivers?

  Hello

  I reinstalled my Windows to my Satellite A100 and I installed the drivers for my graphics card in this from Toshiba Web site. Unfortunately, they are not the most current. I noticed that my games does not work properly. The surfaces look like shards of glass and flashing in and out...

  Before reinstalling my Windows I had the same problem and I have a few more recent drivers and my games worked well but I don't remember it who or where I have been.
  Can I get some suggestions where I would get the best players to do this, even if their is not made by ATI?

  best regards Mrs

  For better graphics performance, you can simply use the drivers changed and unsupported.
  Of course, on your own risk.
  For drivers you can visit omegadrivers.net

• Satellite A100-599 - question about updating the display driver

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100-599 with a NVIDIA 7600go graphics card and I like most of you Bioshock game crashes because of some problems with the graphic card drivers, no pb... Meanwhile, NVIDIA has released some new patches for the Forceware and after I double checked the database of the Toshiba driver support I've seen a new version in the list of display driver for WinXp.

  One of them seems to be 13/09/2007. I have downloaded the drivers, installed them and then I checked the details of the driver in the Device Manager list and to my surprise the details say that the drivers are since 2006. I reinstalled the drivers and the same thing appeared. I checked the XML that was in archive of drivers and surprise... the drivers really are the 'old' of 2006. So my question is this: you have the display drivers for my model that work for Bioshock :D

  Best regards, Marian

  I Don t know if we. I think it would be took a long while to ask every single user: Hey, you have a few drivers for blackmodjo? Ah, come on, please. Some of them... ;)

  No, I have a better idea. It s like to cook a meal. Ingredients: DriverCleaner Pro and the www.laptopvideo2go.com site and... your your your TAAA patience

  To get a good 'bio' meal shocked just follow this recipe:

  Reach
  http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/
  read before doing anything (YES, even before you continue to BREATHE) the FAQ section on this site (RECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDEDRECOMMENDED)
  and then download the drivers. Do it, Yes...

  Then download drivercleaner by searching on www.google.com and THEN read their manual before doing anything else (Ok, you can continue to breathe..)
  After reading the manual you will be something like:

  1. program start, do something, restart the machine
  2. start in safe mode, from this program, deleting... yadayadayada
  3. install the new driver
  3. reading of Bioshock
  4...
  5. No... 6 thank. me and give me your first born... ;)

  So by cutting about 40% of my humorous things and following the constructive technical instructions from me, you will be able to play bioshock.

  Welcomes :)

• Satellite A100 - where can I get new display driver?

  Hello

  I have a laptop Satellite A100-153 and I also use it for games. It is, drivers that are available on this site are DEFINITELY outdated (they are of type.. 2007) and I can't install official drivers of mobility on the ATI site.

  So my question is: is there a chance that I can get my hands on some new drivers for my laptop or friend stuck with pipe drivers up to eternity, or is there another possibility to get new drivers?

  hope you can help me.

  Hello

  It seems that this phone has been equipped with an ATI Mobility Radeon X 1600 graphics card.
  As suggested by the previous user, you can try to install an ATI driver for different laptops models that would encourage the same graphics card, or check you some pages 3rd of group for a compatible driver.

  But as far as I know Toshiba recommends the use of own graphics drivers because these drivers were tested and certified.
  3rd party drivers are not tested and could lead to different problems

• Satellite A100-153-backlight and power button instability

  My screen tends to turn off the LCD backlight during operation, although I chose 'Never' in the Toshiba Power Saver lcd-fork-functionality.

  However, all this is pretty weird:
  1. when the screen becomes 'black' I can indeed still see things, but only forms of contrast of course.
  2. the screen still updates the image; This I know, because it happens to get black during games and I can still navigate through the levels, well that heavily handicapped.
  3. If I close the display and reopen it, the screen lights up again. However, if I wait about 10 seconds, he does the same. However, it is quite a nerve, because sometimes it goes black several times in a few minutes.

  In addition, my powerbutton is a bit shabby. He reacty that if I press a destinctive of the key point, which changes its location over time. Sometimes - where can sometimes mean a few months - it reacts at all and I have to turn on the machine by pressing the media buttons. I got it to the local service company partner several times, they even changed the card mother once, but error THAT was less never get rid of.

  Anyone no matter what tipps on these things?

  On the first question, I can only say that you can try to fix it with the BIOS and update the graphics driver.

  What about the second question? If the service has no solution, and they had the laptop at hand, what to expect here where we just try to imagine what happens exactly.
  Boyfriend sorry but I don't see any way to change anything.
