Satellite A20 - screen begins to turn white

So I'm having a problem where my pc screen begins to turn white unless pressure is applied on the lower rear of the monitor. As I was typing this message, the screen has managed to stay sane by himself for a while, but then returned, so I think it mya be any hope for her.

Any help will be useful, thank you advance.

Hi IBE876,
What a Pseudo ;-)
It looks like problems with the lcd screen.
to me it looks loke a defective cable and / or a bad inverter.
do not open the cover of the display until you know what you're doing and you have no guarantee on this machine more...
This inverter is a dangerous thing! It produces a high for the lighttube voltage.
If it is still warranty on this unit, better consult a servicepartner, there also the spareparts right...
If you want to do it by yourself... Keep in mind, it can be dangerous!
Make sure no powersource is connected to your system and battery is taken out.
Maybe it could be a loose cable...

  • Satellite P300 - screen empty since turned on, but sometimes works well

    HELO,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P300-1F0.
    The screen is blank when I turn it on, even the splash screen, and I can't hear the sounds of windows startup.
    Although if I turn it on, and besides, it will work after a few tries, sometimes it works the first time, others, I turn on and off like 20 times until he finally started working. When it turns on, it works perfectly.

    I tried:
    by pressing the power button for 1 min while the charger and the battery
    Manually check the RAM.
    reinstalling and updating graphics and monitor pilot card.
    shaking the lid to check if there is a broken cable
    but none of these things worked

    I also noticed that the computer works with an external monitor (TV) connected via hdmi.
    If I turn on the laptop, the screen is blank, no sound Windows played and after a few minutes I plug the cable hdmi, the Tv shows that windows was, and sounds begin to work from there.

    When you are connected to the TV, I try to turn on the screen by pressing (windws key + P) but it does not work.
    In the menu screen resolution, windows cannot detect the display, only the TV

    Can someone help me? What can cause the problem thr?

    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:

  • Screen begins to turn and using Ctrl + Alt + UP ARROW is not enough

    Today, I logged on my computer to work on it and as soon as I clicked on the desktop the screen turned sideways.  I'm working on an online class where I switch between word and Google Chrome often. Every time I have something on the computer, the screen turns side ways.  I'm not pressing anything on the keyboard when im switching, but it continues to be and I even went to settings, but he says that the screen is fixed to the landscape, even if it has been turned on its side.

    Hello

    Thanks for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you have problems with the on-screen display. Don't worry we will certainly help you the question of fixing.

    Do you use the Alt + tab key to switch to other programs in Windows?

    The ability to rotate the screen image is a feature of your video card, to help work with instructors who rotate to portrait settings. Could accidentally pressing Alt-Ctrl and an arrow.

    You can refer to the following suggestions to solve the problem

    Display on the side:

    Try to press Ctrl + Alt + up ARROW, or try Ctrl + Alt + and a different key to the arrow.

    If this does not work: right click on the empty desk > graphics > Rotation.

  • Satellite C855 1pj begins to turn OFF

    Hello everyone.

    First time on the forum hope you can help me

    When I'm using the laptop and close the cover to switch to sleep mode. If I open the lid to the top still occasionally he turned off completely and I turn on the computer and it is in safe mode.

    Battery is fully charged
    Thank you

    Hi and welcome to our community.

    It is not easy to say why this is happening. Before the portable computer in "sleep" mode much different background process must be stopped. We do not know what is the configuration of your operating system, is not easy to tell if certain processes may be responsible for this.

    Can you please test with hibernation mode and post comments?
    It would be interesting to know if the same problem occurs again.

    One last thing: what is this problem occurs on the first day or you have noticed later?

    Hmm have you tried to reinstall / recover the laptop to see if it helps to solve this problem?
    In my opinion you should try it because it could be a problem in the system.

    Otherwise if new system installation / restore does not help you, it could be a malfunction of the equipment.

  • Satellite M100 - screen turns white when you press the bottom of the frame of the screen

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with my Satellite M100.

    When to start the laptop, the screen is totally blank.
    When hand press to the middle part of the bottom of the frame of the screen (black plastic frame) the display looks fine, as long as I am pressing on it.
    When let pressing, the screen becomes funny,

    Also noticed, when top screen downstairs, appears blurry white screen.
    But the screen is OK as long as I pressed the plastic at the bottom of the screen frame.

    Any idea would be greatly appreciated, want to confirm which part is faulty, so I can avoid replacing the whole LCD.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    For as far as I know the small part called FL inverter is hidden behind the frame s screen.
    Maybe it s something with this part. Who knows it would be necessary to test this
    On the other hand, one cannot rule out a display problem

    You see, it's hard to say, really a malfunction which part
    Therefore, it would be advisable to contact a technician for laptop

    See you soon

  • White screen when I turn on the Satellite M50

    I have intermittently just get a white screen when I turn on the computer. Usually, the problem is solved by turning off the computer and try again - but sometimes I get a white screen again.

    It seems to be linked to the use of external devices - can someone give me clear instructions on which expected/doesn't have to be connected when I start and shut down the computer? Or other suggested solutions?

    Thank you

    Hi Rachel

    Believe me; It's not easy to provide an exact solution and that's why we need to study a little ;)

    Have you checked if the graphics card driver update could solve the white screen issue?
    If not, try to download and install the latest graphics driver

    You second question on the laptop stop problems is known to me. Sometimes it happens on my laptop too. The LTCC is a part of the Norton antivirus application, which is still running in the background of the operating system.
    This strange box "close the program" might appear because this context process couldn t be closed automatically and so the operating system can not stop.

    Especially the new application installation might help you. But why don't you use Norton Antivirus? What makes the laptop very slow. I have used this app for a long time but now I use the freeware program called Antivir. Its free and in my opinion much better than the Norton Antivirus.

  • Satellite M300 - screen flashes white

    Toshiba Satellite M300 on 18 months old (using Windows 7). Display has had intermittent problems. Screen flashes to a white screen. Now if the lid is moved while he was working, "white" screen completely and returns to normal when returned to 'the sweet spot '!

    Have not yet tried another monitor. Driver is up-to-date. Assuming that maybe it's a "bad connection". Use turned off with the closure of the lid that changed tonight.

    Any ideas? :)

    Hi KezRev,

    Theoretically, it could be a problem of connecting cable or internal problem display but you should test another monitor first. Just connect an external monitor to check the image here.

    If the external monitor works properly it s the LCD cable internal or visualize a malfunction. So, contact a service provider and allow technicians to check your laptop. They can fix this problem and order new parts. :)

  • 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 L10-192: Video Out (TV screen is black and white)

    Hello

    I recently bought a new notebook Satellite L10-192, and I have trouble with the video out of service.

    The image on the TV screen is black and white. I have read and followed the instructions of the manual (indicate the video mode PAL B, etc.), but it is always black and white.

    I have Win XP Pro without Service Pack.

    Anyone has any advice on this problem? Can I change the resolution or color depth or install Service Packs? Or a Toshiba from the factory CD utility?

    Thanks in advance,

    Zoltan

    Hello

    In my opinion, your settings on the laptop are right but please check your TV also. I put t know if your TV is a S-video port or you use a S-video adapter. Please check menu TV. Maybe it's for S-video option in the port.

    If the TV doesn't have a S-video port, you can connect your unit as follows:
    (1) SVID-adapter that brings back the color! It works with any device with an s-video signal through a plug 4-pin or 7-pin. http://www.s-vid.de/images/SVID.gif
    (2) SCART - / adapter S-video http://www.mediaatlantic.com/product.php/366/1142//8aa0b1bbaf6020c785221873b2a985bd

    Good bye

  • Satellite A210 1AP - the screen does not turn

    I had a problem about a month ago with my Toshiba Satellite A210-1AP, just that the screen did not turn. Was working on the computer, all the lights were on. The light that shows the HARD disc flickered, as usual, but with display always off. So I stop, and the next time I tried it was warking as usual, with display turned on, he asked if I want to start windows normally or in safe mode (as when it is restarted abnormally). Then worked normally for a few days, and then it happens again. At this point, I could not go to the service (computer was in warranty, and how do you prove that something happens sometimes if it happened there). So I continued to use it, and as the time past the problem was more often. So I decided to go to the service.

    Guy in the service, said that the problem is the motherboard, so he changed the motherboard and it took months for him to do, and then when I called he said that it still does not. And maybe he has change rooms, display, graphics card is perhaps a problem, that he has not seen the problem like this...

    So my question is do you know what could be the problem? And the second question is can I demand of him, because he went from 30 days to give me a new computer rather change all parties to this issue?

    Thank you
    Nikola

    Hi mate,

    It's really hard to say what causes this problem, but I think that notebok technicians do a good job and they will be committed to repair your laptop as soon as possible. Maybe they ordered some new parts, but they are not available at this time

    Theoretically, all that could be the reason of this problem FL inverter, LCD screen, motherboard, graphics card, cable, etc.

    So I think you should call the technicians still what is the current status.
    But I doubt that you can get a new laptop for free. If it of still under warranty, it will be repaired.
