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

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 A100-912 has a few screen problems

    Hello

    I have the Satellite A100-912 with WXP and up to today, there is no problem.

    I don't know what happened, but a few hours ago, screen started flashing and colors have been mixed.
    I tried to install the new drivers, but it did not help so I hope that someone here could tell me if I can fix it somehow or its some hw question...

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is very important to know if this problem is caused by faulty material or because of software. To be 100% sure I recommend you to use a few methods.

    First try to connect the external monitor to your laptop and please check if the same thing happen on the external monitor. If so the reason may be the faulty graphics card. Otherwise, you can also install OS using recovery delivered DVDs. After doing this you will have factory again and the good drivers will be installed. If the problem persists, it may really be due to faulty hardware (graphics card or screen).

    Sorry, but it's really not easy to say with certainty what the problem is here. Please do not wait too long and if the guarantee is valid that the technicians check your laptop. The warranty will cover all repair costs.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A100 screen backlight works, but no display

    Just in the process of establishing a Satellite A100 that works very well through the connection of the external monitor but when switched over to using Fn + F5 LCD screen, the backlight turns on but there is no display at all, just a black screen lit.

    I suspect it is the screen that is past and not on the cord (have a screen on order) so will update here but I just thought that I would keep you updated on the progress.

    Has anyone else had this error?

    Steve

    Hello Steve

    The fact is that your laptop is a malfunction of the equipment, and it must be fixed by replacement. To ask if anyone has had this fault won't help you a lot. You need to fix it anyway.

    My question is: might want to fix you alone?

  • 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.

  • Satellite A100 - screen power button stays black!

    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?
    Not too concerned about what was on the hard drive - just that it works again!

    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

  • Laptop screen got a few scratches

    Hello world!

    I have a model number of the HP 1b02AU 1000 laptop.  The problem is that I closed the little hard laptop in a hurry. Now the screen has had a scratch mark on it as shrapnel. And the screen flashes also. I want to know if it will be covered by the warranty and if not will but the entire LCD screen needs to be changed and the costing for the same...

    Hi partha0499,

    Depending on where you purchased your product, it may or may not be under warranty.

    The first thing I'll do is to take it to where you bought the laptop. Closure of the laptop a little harder shouldn't

    cause these kinds of problems. It's actually the first time I heard what happened.

    Then, the fastest way to learn more is to contact HP support and get your product repaired.

    Engineers are better able to help you solve this problem. I have provided the link below for information to Support HP

    and I hope you get it fixed quickly and easily.

  • 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 empty, no electricity, no start

    Hello

    I have a Tosh A100 for about 2 months. When I tried to put in operation today the power button lights up and wakes up the disk drive, but I have no other power than that. no key command does not work. I can hear and feel the fan is running, but there is no other activity at all. any tips or advice?

    Hi mate,

    Unfortunately I can't say with certainty what the problem, but I can tell you what you can try to make your machine still works:

    Remove the battery and the captain, and then let the machine for a few hours without power etc. (make sure that no devices are attached).

    After re-introduced the AC and the battery, the machine must start again.

    If the problem occurs more than once while you must contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner) for a checkup of equipment or repair:

  • Why do Satellite A100 screen flashes when turned off?

    Hello
    I have a toshiba A100, Go 7600 Gpu, just bought there is two weeks and im very pleased with the quality and performance far :), just noticed one thing today, the room was turned off and the laptop turns off with the screen in open position, I leave it open normally when at home, I noticed that the screen flashes as fixed every 1 min in what appears to be an interval of time with or without AC connected, not a flash very bright but not easy to notice, but I'm sure the flash, so my question is should I worry about this? Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    What do you mean with the screen? The LCD internal? Maybe you didn t stop the machine itself.

    I also suggest you update your bios and your drivers, maybe it s just a software related issue...

    Here´s a link to find the bios and latest drivers for your computer:

  • Satellite A100-445 - HDD is full

    I have a Satellite A100-447 purchased a few years previously and only really use it for internet and to store the MP3 filesc.

    However, I notice that my C drive continues in full without reason - I save not on this disc.
    Is this a problem with Vista or my laptop automatically saving things without knowing me?

    I share the laptop with another user if that makes a difference, but once they use it only for the same reasons as me.

    My username betrays the fact that I know very little about computers!

    What should I say?
    I put t know how much you saved on the laptop and I also have files don t know how much files another user saved on this subject.

    Normally, a Windows Vista installation needs up to 8 GB so I think that your HARD drive is not small and I doubt that will automatically save Windows files that you don't know.
    I think in your case, you should start to remove the files that you do not need, for example, temporary internet files, cookies,
    In addition, you could save your data on external devices such as USB keys or external hard drives.

    It of your choice what you do

  • Network adapter is not on the Satellite A100

    Hi all!

    Satellite A100-071
    After a few manoth use book, once after restarting network card is out. Equipment Manager Windows cannot find map, but is all activated in BOS...

    Hello

    You said that windows hardware Manager does not map. I assume you mean on the Device Manager.
    What LAN status is the device manager report? Do you see any yellow exclamation?

    I think it s a driver problem or something wrong with the system files and registry entries.
    So, as a first step I would recommend installation or update the NIC driver!
    This driver must be downloaded and installed the Tosh site.

    If this does not help, maybe that the operating system needs to be reinstalled again.

    Good luck

  • Re: Satellite A100-011 does not start, a black screen at the beginning

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-011, which is almost 5-6 years. It suddenly started to behave abnormal.

    First of all, I started to get a 1-2 sec black screen when he was running. The screen was on and off occasionally.

    After a few days, I could not started upward from my windows xp sp3 operating system. I tried to start in safe mode with networking to see if I had a few spy, virus or something. I ran avast, hijact, ad-aware and some more, but not found anything.

    Later, I tried to format my laptop with a xp professional, but this time I can't see any reflection that passes more fun running and a black screen. I just got a black screen at the beginning and it does not start.

    I plugged on a television screen, and here I have started. I have re-installed all the drivers and formatted, but all I get is a black screen on my laptop at the beginning.

    What should I do now? Do you think I have a problem with my screen of HW or a driver problem with nvidia geforce go 7600? Maybe I'm missing something?

    Thanks in advance for all replies.

    If you can see the picture on the TV there are a few s laptop display problem. Y at - it some problem connection or display itself.

    You want to fix it yourself? You can disassemble the laptop?
    I mean if you have any experience with this kind of things that you should seek professional help.

  • Satellite A100: Scratches appeared - performance down

    Hello

    (first at all sorry for my bad English, I'm trying to improve it;).

    I have a Satellite A100, bought about 8 months ago. Here's the material:

    Intel Centrino Duo 2 x 1, 7GHz
    NVIDIA GeForce 7600go
    RAM DDR2 1024

    I think these are the most important information about this.
    About two weeks ago suddenly seemed a few scratches on the entire screen. Especially on colors like purple or orange. I first thought that maybe my set is the problem and made a screenshot and showed it to people.

    The problem is, they do not see those stripes. My performenc is not aceptable more, he went down quite a lot. Is it possible that upgrading my RAM (up to 4096) damaged the laptop?

    I mean it worked fine with the new RAM for about 4 weeks, and then the problems started. I asked the support from Toshiba if my laptop supports this extra one RAM they said, my WinXP supports only 3 GB but didn't we could neither put in more a problem.

    So I did. O of course this means I have more no guarantee. Please help me!

    Thank you!

    Hello

    He s strange you see stripes and others don t see the lines and scratches on the screen
    I was a little confused m
    Also you suggestion that enforcement is down is not really understandable

    The fact is that no one can say exactly what it could be without any control from laptop computers

    In your case I would recommend you first connect the laptop to the external display to check if the same stripes (if there is) would appear on the second monitor.
    If the same scratches are visible then it could be linked to the question of the graphics card

    However, the fact is that if you think that there is a problem with your hardware then would be advised to contact the ASP from Toshiba for a verification of the laptop.

    That's all I can suggest at this time;
