• 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 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 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. :(

  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

• 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:

  Give some information about this case, could be interesting, what problem is.

• 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:

• Blue screen when installing Win XP Pro on the Satellite A100-211

  Hi all.

  I'm started to get really desperate here! I just bought my new Satellite A100-211 and now I want to install my own copy of Windows XP Professional (as the laptop comes with XP Home). But, when I try to boot from my Win Xp Pro CD (with no SP1 or SP2 integrated), I get a blue screen of the STOP just as the installation application reached the phase "the installation program starts Windows! The STOP message says something about a file named "pci.sys".

  I don't know what the problem is or how to install XP Pro! It should be so simple! I even tried the SATA drivers from intel and load the Windows XP Pro install the program installation (F6) with a floppy, but I always get the same blue screen at the same stage of the installation.

  Can someone help me please? Can someone explain how to install Win XP Pro on this laptop?

  Thank you very much in advance! I'm really really freak out with this
  Octavio.

  Hello

  Did you get this error message?
  "stop error 0x7E in Pci.sys".

• 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 - 510 PSAA2E cannot start - nothing on the screen

  Hello

  I had Satellite A100-510 (PSAA2E) since May 2006.
  2 weeks before, when I tried to switch the fans started spinning and the LED lit and after about 2 seconds, it restarts without showing anything on the screen.

  There is also no beeps or anything.

  I tried almost everything: remove the hard drive, screen, wireless card, dvd player, change the RAM between the slots...
  It makes no difference if.

  So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?

  > So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?
  Yes, the mentioned parts could cause this problem

  But it would be the worst case and you must contact the Toshiba ASP for more details

  Before that you would get in contact with ASP, I recommend you try this:

  -Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
  -Wait 30-60 minutes
  -Bring the two parties together and try to turn on the laptop

  Maybe if this work around short help

• 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 A100-049 stops loading at the Windows loading screen

  Unless I opened fully open/almost completely the cover on my Toshiba Satellite A100-049 it will always freeze on screen Toshiba Logo black (first one you see). She has completed half of the blue progress bar that runs along the bottom of the screen. I need and then turn off the button and once again, it becomes work.

  The laptop is only 2 weeks old nine. It's especially annoying since it prevents a scheduled backup to wake the portable computer from Hibernation. I have to leave it on or leave the lid open permanently.

  Help?

  It seems that the title has been changed from the one I posted, nothing wrong with that, but it is no longer accurate. It keeps loading the Windows loading screen, it freezes "before" that date. The Toshiba Logo POST screen, very first, you see when you turn on the laptop.
