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

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?

    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.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    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 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 A100-1011E - AV button does not work

    Hello world

    I'm new here but I have an urgent problem. I hope that you guys can tell me what to do. I have this laptop SATELLITE A100-1011E model. My AV button which located on the left side of the keyboard does not work.

    I'm sure that it works always 3 days ago, but I don't know what I did and it doesn't now. I n it's a driver issue cause I just bought this phone 5 days ago. I checked with this 'Toshiba' commands in the Panel and I've assigned to the right program (windows media player 10) but it does not work when I press a key.

    Can someone help me with this? :( Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Until you try anything roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Maybe it will help you.

  • 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:

  • flashing screen, power button fails (error of hard disk startup, seen many posts have this)

    I thought it would be the best forum page to post, but in any case I had trouble with these two things. The first is this random/flicker flashing, screen tapping the top of the screen could delay, but this is very random and makes sometimes standby extended or even restart more rare. I don't think overheatiing is because it looks cool enough. Very random though sometimes it happens not every day or a few days.

    The power button is very recent, it turns that if I do something such as unplug it or open/close the screen as I've seen, really don't know where these two could come, but this laptop is second-hand on ebay with a new OS installed.

    The HARD drive error is common so I saw, so I can deal with it. The usual startup error, a reboot solves this problem and it starts to load normally, have not seen all the patches, in addition to a clean wipe I don't want nessiserally to do.

    A few things you might want to know:

    OS: Windows 7 Edition home premium

    Quad core i5

    graphics card intel integrated (use an ATI mobility Radeon HD 5650)

    Just ask if something else should be, thank you.

    I suggest to retrieve what you saved on your laptop and replace the HARD drive, you now have. It seems that the HARD drive, you may be out of any day. Make sure the replacement HARD drive is not too big.

  • HP 2009 m, black screen, power button / stop lights

    I have a HP 2009 Mr. Windows Vista 64-bit. 4 years.

    I can turn my computer on fine, check e-mail, watch videos, etc. but then the screen will be black. The blue button lights. If I turn off and on. It will work for like 5-10 min or more, then it will be a black screen.  If I watch a video when it goes to a black screen, I can still hear play.  I hear a slight hum coming from the screen that I never heard before that happened.  Is it my desktop computer or do I need a new monitor?

    Hi NSCY,

    The fastest way to isolate the problem to the screen would be, if possible, be: try the monitor on another PC or another monitor to the computer.

    Check your graphics card and the power of the connections on the PC and the monitor also.

    Your graphics card may also cause this problem.

  • Satellite A100 system goes to a black screen after the recovery procedure

    I tried running the recovery CD, I received on my cell phone. the process perfectly, (I have only one CD, I don't know if I need a second). At the end of the process, I have the option to insert the second CD, or jump.
    Because I don't have that one CD I have support on ignore.

    I tells me that the installation is complete and I can restart my system.
    Then I removed the disk and I tried to reboot the system. The system goes to a black screen (on which he indicates that Microsoft load) and then crashes. That was the problem I was facing before recovery.

    Basically, the recovery process has not worked. I don't think I did something very wrong, unless I need a second CD. What could be the problem?

    Help me please!

    Hello

    The A100 is one of the new series of laptops and AFAIK the image of Toshiba was placed only on a CD (DVD) recovery.
    I think that the message and the possibility to insert the second CDconfuses a little.

    In my opinion the black screen and freeze has nothing to do with the recovery procedure and the new installation if Windows OS.
    Due to the fact that this problem has occurred until you have installed the OS from the recovery CD, I assume that there must be something wrong with the hardware.

    But it s very interesting to know if the same problem appears after the new installation of Windows from the original CD of Microsoft.

    It's worth a try.

  • Satellite M70 - screen flickers and goes black, white or other

    I have a portable Satellite M70 and lately the screen becomes either black, white and a few other colors (no ghost image).

    The laptop seems good but I can t see anything so the only solution is to turn on and off. He didn't used to do this.
    I have updated the BIOS and the driver of the screen but always comes back.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried an external monitor on the laptop?
    It would be important to make sure if it s a display or the motherboard problem.
    Check it!

    Have what driver you installed for the laptop? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite M30, screen remains sometimes almost black after start up to several minutes

    Satellite M30, WinXP

    Sometimes, the screen remains dark, which means that you can see that a little bit news startup in the background and also the Office of windows, up to 2 minutes before suddenly become really turned on.
    Not even the latest version of the BIOS has a change. And what's weird, is it still does not appear. A non stop-and-shut-down-start sequence showed that it appears about 2 to 3 times.
    What could be the reason?

    Hi LeTom,

    did you use the os recovery toshiba or a clean install?

    It seems that the display shows a fault, then here are a few questions to play safely!

    There the failure also occure when the Red Toshiba logo appears shortly after starting start?

    If you are using a clean install of the OS, you need to do a complete new installation with the Toshiba Recovery CD (attention all data will be lost, make a backup).
    Then, the laptop is set back to the default settings of the software and if the failure occurred, you should check the material by a Toshiba service partner!

    I think that the M30 is still under warranty!

  • Satellite A100-496 power plug problem

    Hi, my first post and this is probably a common problem.

    I got an A100-496 for about two years and it has been fine. Nothing special, just right.

    Although the pin power plug to the back of the machine became loose and therefore constantly moving the battery and possibly perform.

    I found any number of sockets of replacement for other models, but this seems rare.
    Can someone advise
    one) where I could get one at a reasonable price
    (b) if there are other models that use exactly this Jack
    (c) how it could be difficult to replace or
    (d) the question of whether I should just go out and buy a new machine (certainly not a Toshiba)?

    I would be very grateful for any advice and thank you in advance.

    Hello

    I think that the replacement of DC Jack is really complicated because it s placed on the motherboard and you will need to disassemble the whole laptop to gain access to decision-making.
    The disassembly procedure is not easy, that you know the right order and how to remove devices
    There is therefore a high risk of damage to laptop

    Anyway, you want to know what is compatible.
    Well, I recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details and the right part, the technicians should be abele to order this part at Toshiba.

  • 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:
