Satellite A105-S361: screen becomes dark gray with gray fine lines

I have a new laptop Satellite A105-S361 and seem to have display problems. My screen turns dark gray (with fine gray lines) while I use my laptop. This normally happens after using my laptop for 5 minutes or up to 30 minutes. When I restart my computer, I get the Toshiba start screen, and then it works very well for another five minutes before aging again.
I tried to connect to an external monitor and it works fine.

I also installed a new BIOS, but I still have the same problem.

Any suggestions?

Hi, Ahmed.

It sounds like a problem with your inverter FL. This is the device that provides lighting for your LCD screen. The fact that you can use an external monitor shows that there is not a problem with your graphics card.

Fortunateky the FL inverter is not an expensive component and is quite easy to change then I suggest that you only contact your closest partner of Serviec allowed to check your laptop.

Kind regards

  • Satellite A105-S361 wouldn't boot CDrom or PXE Linux

    Hello

    I just bought a toshiba satellite A105-S361, I deleted all partitions & installed Linux operating system. After a few days, I find that, although everything works perfectly, I can't boot from the CDrom or network (PXE). No matter how I change the settings in the BIOS, it is just try to boot from the CD or network, it goes straight to the startup hard disk!

    I was wondering if the hidden partition that toshiba use for its "express media player", has nothing to do with helping start the laptop cdrom/lan as well!

    Otherwise, no idea why I can't boot from them?
    I'm really worried how to fix my laptop, should I have to re - install any OS!

    Hello

    First of all, you have installed Linux on the unit and Toshiba doesn't support this OS.
    Toshiba delivered and designed only with a Microsoft Windows operating system.
    I don't know if your question has anything to do with LINUX on your laptop but if the function m worked with the Windows operating system, so it must be a Linux question.

  • Satellite A105-S361: CD/DVD control buttons not working not

    I am facing some problems with my cd/dvd control buttons on my satellite a105-s361 keyboard and I was wondering if there is no reason, I could find why this is so. If it's due to software or hardware problem.

    Please answer.

    Hello

    To my knowledge the A105-S361 was designed for the U.S. market and so if it s a software issue you should look on the page of the Toshiba driver we.

    I assume you mean the Toshiba control functionality of the buttons.
    The utility is not configured or does not work. In this case I would say reinstall this tool and then after phone restart, you might try to install it again.

    Note: Don't forget to check the options buttons in the control of Toshiba utility

  • Satellite A105-S361 - temperature of the processor to get high and it shuts

    I have Satellite A105-S361 and look like that get high CPU temperature and she off-ramp of the aircraft.

    I downloaded temperature some monitoring tools, but none can read the temperature of the processor on this unit.

    Sometimes, what's the problem?

    For me, it looks a bit like an overheating problem.

    Usually the laptop stops automatically if the temperature reaches a critical threshold. Then the notebooks overheat protection stops the laptop to prevent material damage.

    Especially, the temperature rises to a higher level because notebooks modules of cooling don't work properly.
    You can try to clean the fans with a professional pneumatic sprayer.

    It s a really useful tool for blowing air even if the railings of cooling and get rid of the dust and debris. These sprays, you can buy a portable computer/computer dealer.

  • Satellite A105-S361 - update Bios do DVD cannot reboot

    Hi all.

    I have a Satellite A105 S361. I guess I got the BIOS 1.70 software.
    because there are two possible updates for her in the Toshiba download website.

    So, I've recently updated my BIOS v2.0. In fact, he warned that after the update
    It would be impossible to return to v1.70, but I never thought that it might cause some
    problems.

    After the update, now I am unable to boot from the DVD-ROM. I tried
    change the boot priority in the bios, by pressing 'C' (stands for CD)
    in the trunk to the top, also press F12 to bring the boot list. Also
    I tried with my recovery cd and about 5 linux CD bootable.
    None of this has been successful and if I remember the update of the BIOS
    and eliminate the possibilities, which can be the cause of the problem.

    Then I'd be extremely grateful some hep with this issue to make it possible
    to boot from the DVD ROM.

    Best regards.

    As far as I know, this series laptop designed for the American market and as a result, you must use the BIOS from the Toshiba page we.
    I hope you have done it and used the good BIOS. Bad or not compatible BIOS can do some problems!

    However, the fact is that it of not possible to reverse the BIOS to the primitive version on the simply average. In your case, that only a technician of the ASP was able to help you but I wonder how the BIOS update would affect booting from the CD/DVD drive. IF the CD/DVD drive has been recognized and then a boot from CD or DVD should be possible.

    You attempted to set the BISO default settings? Check it!
    BUR if it doesn t help has then contact ASP in your country!

  • Satellite A105-S361 without recovery DVDs

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Satellite A105-S361 and now I have discovered that I do not have the recovery DVD and I don't have the possibility to recreate the DVD recovery my HD was formatted once.

    How can I solve this problem?

    Thanks in advance,

    Claudio...

    Hello

    I don't know where you come from, but AFAIK the Satellite A105-S361 was designed and delivered to the United States. It seems that this laptop is an American unit.
    Generally, it is possible to order recovery at the Toshiba service partner media but I don't know about the U.S. market.
    But I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba in your country for these media. In my opinion, it should be possible to order this CD.

  • Satellite L300-PSLB8E - screen becomes all white and the laptop freezes

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8E. I initially bought with Windows Vista already installed on it. After a few years, I changed the operating system Windows 7 Ultimate. I installed the display and all the other necessary drivers (that is, sound, network, etc.).

    After I installed Windows 7, when I use the laptop for a while, the screen becomes all white and the laptop hangs. This happens spontaneously. Sometimes, in less than 10 minutes and other times that it can work perfectly for hours. I checked for loose batteries and other components, but everything seems fine.

    Physical damage only that there is a tiny crack on the screen in the bottom right of the screen. The operating system is not good? If I put windows Vista back as it was?

    Please advise and help understand me what the problem is with the laptop.

    Until we start discussion can you tell me what you do when this happen?
    Hard stop and restart?
    Is everything OK again when you do?

    It is not easy to say what exactly is the problem, but I put t think there is problem with OS and preinstalled display driver. A long time ago I installed Win7 Home Premium on friends L300 and it works perfectly.

    What you can try is to use the external monitor for a while and see if everything works well. If so, there is no problem with the operating system, drivers or graphics card. It may be that the display problem.

  • Satellite A105-S2101 - can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

    I have this laptop Satellite A105-S2101, and the LCD breathed on me in two years.

    Fortunately, I can still use the VGA and S-video output but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, no longer is I can watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it will not accept VGA or S-video as default is just my broken - up, good for nothing always blurry LCD anyway.
    It's only when I'm in Windows mode can I switch to an external monitor.

    The reason I'm writing is, if it is necessary to add anything to an EMP update - this is the time and it would be something to add. What the devil?

    Have you tried another player?
    I prefer the VLC media player. He plays the most video and audio files, it s freeware and easy to use. Check it!

    Have you changed something on your hardware or software configuration before this happened?
    Maybe it's time to reinstall the drive Media Express

  • Satellite 1800-s207 screen becomes extremely dark

    My screen to 1800-s207 Satellite becomes extremely dark.

    Hello

    Do you mean that your view is completely dark?  :|
    Sounds a little like the FL inverter would die.

    FL-converter is a small part that is placed close to the LCD screen and control the backlight.

    I think you need to contact a technician for laptop and the technician must check and if necessary replace it.

  • Satellite Pro M40: screen remains dark until Windows has fully loaded

    Hello to all here.
    I have a problem with my laptop. My laptop is a Satellite Pro M40.

    When I turn on my laptop, I found the backlight won't come... the screen will stay dark until it has fully loaded into Windows. I've checked all my food, and there all fine options. Even if I can get the Bios screen its impossible to read the txt because without backlight. I tried to hold the Fn & F7... joy of Noy.

    Someone at - it ideas?

    Richard

    Hello Richard

    I didn't see anything like that before and I'm a bit confused why you can't see the BIOS settings, but running the OS. Use of the FN + F7 key combination won't help because this option only works on Windows and not on the level of the BACK.

    If possible try to plug the external monitor and test again. In any case I put t think you can fix it yourself. Try please contact Toshiba authorized partner in your country. Explain the situation and see what they say.

    If you discover that something please let us know. It will be really interesting to know why this happen.

  • Satellite U920T touch screen does not work with Windows 10

    Hello everyone
    I've updated to win 10 on my laptop & since I've lost the ability to touch my screen, it now works like a normal monitor.
    I searched for several weeks on the net for a solution, but I realized that Toshiba does not care to solve the problem so any who found a solution? It seems to be a driver or software related issue to win 8.1 & 10.

    Hello.

    Even as Dr. Joe... I also upgraded Windows 10 lost touch screen and camera. I returned to Windows 8.1 and I still haven't get touch screen. I seem to have lost my drivers HID Touch Screen as well.

    Anyone have any ideas on how to restore touch screen drivers? I can't find them in the download section of driver Toshiba after hours of research.
