Satellite A200 - 14 d - screen freezes

Hello

I bought a Satellite A200 - 14 d 4 years. During the last week that the screen was frozen and I could do nothing. The mouse or the keyboard worked or ctr + alt + delete. I tried to format it and I thought it was ok until that it happened again. I tried to reinstal and reformat the drive, but the problem remains. (Even during the new installation of Windows Vista, it froze again).

I think that the problem has to do with the hard drive but am not sure. Can you help me and what do I do?

Thank you

Hi gfotis,.

You have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk or original disc of Microsoft? The Toshiba Recovery disk contains an image of factory for all drivers and tools will install automatically. This image has been pre-tested by Toshiba and normally everything should work perfectly.

It's not easy to say what the reason is mostly in this case but theoretically it could be the HARD drive on this virtual path. You can test the HARD drive with special diagnostic tools to drive as Drive Fitness Test. do a search on Google and you will find this program or others, they are free! :)

  • Satellite A200-1CR - black screen and no boot

    Model:
    Toshiba Satellite A200-1CR

    Question:
    By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power LED lights up but still black screen (not even of lighting). The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
    No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

    I have already (without success) tried:
    -Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
    -Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
    -Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

    The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

    What could be wrong?
    Thank you.

    > By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power led turns on but screen stays black

    Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
    You can try to check the RAM modules.
    Trying to start using a maybe only module, it is useful in the case otherwise I fear, you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP m

    You have disconnected the display while you cleaned up the laptop?
    Are you sure that the display is connected correctly?
    Check the cable?

    > The laptop shows that read the hard drive and the processor works well.
    How do you know that? Flashing LED HDD?
    You know, it's not easy to say what may be the problem.

  • Satellite A200: Son - junction screen base

    I got my Satellite A200 - 18 M since the end of January and noticed tonight that I see the son at the level of the joint where the screen joined the corps!

    I don't know if it's something I need to talk to Toshiba, obviously the process of return for any service is one I prefer to avoid and so I was wondering if anyone else out there with an A200 model has the same, or if its just something that will make the laptops? I had an A200-1AI before and never noticed with this machine, but I was wondering if it was just something that happens! I certainly don't want to waste time with something that is nothing of Toshiba and hold counsel to get a call from someone who has a problem if I don't!

    Those who use an A200 (I don't know if the P200, A100 have the same design), can they look at where the screen is attached to the base there is a small gap hand and of the joint! For me to one side in the ditch where wires wire through a box of black rubber type that surround them, but on one side I see a red wire and a white wire and black, they are not rounded on the gap but when I closed and reopened the cover they twist and are certainly on the actual joint when I close and open the lid!

    I'm afraid they might pinch or swelling and problems that might cause me or he could do! I always remember my father telling me everytime I see threads... I'm not going to be more dramatic, but I don't want to really explode or catch fire!

    Maybe I'm paranoid enough and picky but if it is something that would cause me a problem I rather deal with him now rather than later!

    I was just wondering if there may be someone who knows the inner workings of the A200 ' sand if the envelopes around the wires are purely aesthetic or something that are more work than that, or maybe someone else has the same thing and it's something that's normal!

    Thanks guys and girls. Any help is appreciated!

    Hello

    'problem' you isn´t a problem because it's normal. If you notice anything unusual he doesn´t say that something is faulty, so in your case, just use the machine as you do each day and Don t worry that son. They are isolated and could not bulge or whatever...

    My girlfriend has the same machine, and if I really take a deep look at the machine I can see also a few threads. But only after taking a glance really very good mentioned you´ve away.

    So in my opinion it s nothing, so please Don t worry as long as everything with machine is OK.

  • Satellite A200-PSAF6A - white screen, will not start

    I've had for about a year or more now, out of warranty, and I had no problems so far. The operation of the machine is perfect, done a little warm here and there, but I never had blockages of material etc. The problem lies in the boot process where it lights up but the screen remains black and the HARD drive activity light flashes once, the optical reader clicks like it normally does at the start, and all the normal power supply/battery lights are as they should be, but the laptop will not progress beyond that. The power led remains blue and there is not much activity from the hard drive or any part of the material. This not even the screen of the BIOS at all. At some point, which I suppose because I can't see a pattern emerging in any form, the laptop will emit several beeps and the HDD led starts to blink signifying a boot up is ongoing, but the screen remains blank. At this point, if I turn off the laptop holding the power button / I am sometimes able to start with the display work, but once these things are depend on chance then sometimes it works and sometimes it isn't. Is that a real problem for me because I use this laptop for school and I get sometimes it will feed any or he will, and I'll have to wait a certain amount of time, which could be easily half the class and when he does the beep hard distracted others which is quite annoying.

    Now, I went through a lot of similar topics and tried what was said, but to no avail of course. I tried to delete all the components (RAM, HDD, optical drive, Wifi etc.) and reinstalling them that sometimes only a temporary solution. In the RAM slot I have 800 mhz and 1x1GB 667 mhz-1x2GB, I tried various arrangements with the installed RAM and RAM I have around my house, but I have not yet come to a solution. I find that I can't start up with RAM in just the second slot, I guess it's probably normal, but if it's not please comment and tell me otherwise because I read about another solution to a similar problem a person should use the ram in the second slot to get his laptop to start.

    My suspicion is that it's to do with a kind of BIOS check or maybe a BIOS corrupted, that I could not resolve without a technician because I am already in the current version of the BIOS. I did not update the BIOS that is not. If not then I'll assume that it is just a fault of power on the motherboard circuit. It's a really weird problem because it works quite well after, and I don't think it's a hardware problem perfectly serious because he wouldn't if it was.

    Any help is appreciated on the topic, share your knowledge, if you have had a similar problem because whatever it is would be useful

    Thank you

    James

    I'm not 100% sure but I think that the graphics card can be removed. Maybe you have enough experience with replacement of equipment, but laptop disassembly without maintenance manuals can be risky.
    I really hope you know what you're doing. Maybe you should contact the nearest authorized and ask for help.

    BTW: Where you want to get the new graphics card Satellite A200?

    Hello

    How many times does the error appear? Were the machine in unusual conditions as too hot environment or has some liquid on it or something?
    If this isn't the case, then it might be a serious fault that must be fixed by an authorized partner.

    Please give some feedback and tell me where the machine has been used and what conditions and so on.

    Would appreciate some reactions :)

  • Satellite A200 - TJ5---> black screen at startup

    Hi all

    Here is the story:

    Yesterday I played poker with my laptop and suddenly the screen freeze. that is no more keyboard/mouse, time frozen.
    There is no battery in my laptop so I unplugged the power supply.

    When I plugged it in, I pushed the power button. Fan were to happen, the blue leds on the power cord, power came. The hard drive led will begin to Flash. But the screen was black! No backlight at all. The computer seemed to start as long as the hard drive light was lit more after 5 seconds or more.

    I made theses steps 3 - 4 times. No results.

    I managed to control memory, traded the sodimm 2 x 2 giga with sodimm 2x1gig, than i've got, same effect, stay at black screen. Restoration on this...

    WAITED 5 minutes without battery/power cord. Everything started on the right.

    I ran a memory diagnostic tool for 24 hours after that, no problem at all.
    I already have the latest version of the bios.

    In this forum I found the solution to be able to remove, let stand for 30 minutes and the black screen disappeared. But I don't think it's a long-term solution.

    I am concerned about this problem. (Black screen) because I understand that it is a hardware failure?
    Someone to know more about this kind of problem?

    Hmmm. eventually it s a hardware issue, but as you know it's really not easy to provide suggestions without any detailed portable /hardware controls.

    So if you want, you can contact the nearest ASP in your country and can ask for the portable diagnostic test.

    See you soon

  • Satellite L510 - computer laptop screen freeze on Win7

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L510 computer laptop that I use at home, especially for browsing the net through LAN wireless.
    I bought it last February lately, he showed problems with its display. When I boot on Win7 (that is, moreover, the only OS installed), after about 5-7 minutes of operation, the brightness of the screen increases significantly and the screen just hangs.

    Then, within 20-30 seconds, it restarts on its own and everything comes back to the normal operating status. The behavior has been intermittent and random so far. I can't find a reason why this is happening. Pls help!

    Kind regards
    av_mohan

    You see an error message when this happens, or even after reboot?
    Since when you noticed this behavior?
    Have you noticed intensively HARD drive activity before that happens?
    Is the option value for update windows automatically?

    Try to roll beck OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool.

  • Re: Satellite a200. Resetting or freezing when power cord plugged

    Hey,.

    Ive recently had my computer cleaned after that I had problems with it cutting cause of overheating. It allows to cut while loading Vista too I thought only a dust problem.
    However after it has been cleaned professionally and reformat the computer he now always cut while I have the power supply or reductions on when changing the battery to the power source (works great with just battery).

    I have narrowed down to a few options but I just want to see if anyone has useful comments / solutions for fixing.
    1. that I need to update my BIOS. That proves a problem such as this particular model of upgrading the BIOS satellite is not an option to burn to disk and requires a source of energy at the start of the desktop computer.
    2. that one of the sensors is broken and cause interruptions occur when the is not necessary
    3. There is something short circuit when the power source is implemented.

    couple of addition notes what is happening:
    I mean, by resetting the computer just completely stops and restarts ten seconds of the latter.
    If I put the computer to sleep then wake him (even when using battery) it resets.
    When the power supply is on and start, he usually cuts to the same place.

    So any help is appreciated. Sorry if the lay out is hard to understand too, the laptop has so many questions it's hard to link them together. Update ill prob with more problems that I can remember other smaller
    Thank you. :)

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? Maybe this can help you solve the problem and it s worth a try.
    Check it!

    Furthermore, I would normally say that you need to update the BIOS, but to update the necessary s BIOS you have the AC/DC is plugged in but in your case the laptop freezes.

    So I would try it with factory settings (Toshiba Recovery disk) and if it doesn't work you should go to the authorized service provider nearest. Then, it seems to be a hardware malfunction and the BIOS update is not possible at the moment.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A200-1AI: big screen when using a digital projector with display 4 x 3

    I have a Toshiba A200 - 1AI with Nvidia Geforce Go 7300 graphics, the laptop has a 1280 x 800 display. When a digital projector from here/more 1024 x 768 is plugged and the option value to display on display devices, changes in laptop to 1024 x 768 and will stretch to fit the screen, the projector is perfect.

    I prefer the laptop to show no deformed with a black bar on each side of the screen. There is an option in the Bios, which suggests that it is possible and indeed when the value of the bios displays this way without distortion, hoever when Vista starts up, it is up to the extended format.

    Is there a way to get around this.
    See you soon
    Nigel

    Hello

    Did you record the settings in the BIOS after changing this display option?
    Please don t forget to do!

    But if you have saved the settings and the display stills change resolution of 1024 x 768 stretched, then you should check the graphics features of nVidia in the control panel of the Vista operating system.

    Go to the NVIDIA Control Panel and check the Advanced view.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A200-1fj - black screen after BIOS update

    and my pc got little froze and lag then I close the program that has Flash my bios and restart my turn then black screen... I search and found this thread talking about the BIOS recovery and there seemed not workin for me (I use my 8 GB flash memory) and just do Fn + B when I press the power button to start and then the power led becomes orange... and nothing happens...

    Everyone please provide me the bios file just for this model and give me a clear instruction to Flash my bios with my flash (8 GB) memory

    W8 your replay guys, thx

    + The message was edited: link removed - unauthorized 3rd party Forum +.

    If the BIOS update was not properly flashed, the ROM should generally be flashed with a disc of crisis of the BIOS.
    This can be done by authorized Toshiba available in your country.

  • Satellite A200-195: green screen when connect or disconnect the charger

    I had the highest for several years now and you did not have any problems with it, but now every so often when plug us or unplug the charger the screen turns completely green and the only thing that can be done with it is to turn off and restart.
    What is terminal or fixable?
    Don't want to pay for a new if this can be fixed!

    Hello

    I guess that the brightness of the display should change when the AC adapter should be connected or disconnected. Usually the brightness of the display should be lower when laptop works only on the battery and the display brightness is expected to increase when the AC adapter is connected.

    The brightness is with FL Inverter.
    It is a small part behind the frame of the screen. The replacement does not have to be expensive.

    But that's just my personal suggestion. Maybe it's question of s inverter not FL
    However, the first point of contact would be the ASP in your country
    Get in touch with the guys and allows to check the laptop.

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - blue screen

    My Satellite ceases the BSOD, not every day, but common enough to be annoying.
    This usually occurs after I wake the computer from sleep or when I'm on the Web, most often after waking up from his sleep.

    I have cleaned the registry files, but on searching the net generally found people to think that the pilot wireless myabe a question. I certainly had no problem under Vista, it started only since the upgrade to Win7 32 bit.
    I did the upgrade as instructed by Toshiba.

    The last message I had before the judgment was BAD POOL... Cannot get the rest itshutdown so fast.

    My current wireless adapter is an Intel wireless WiFi link 4965AGN, I was on the site of Intel and their software that determines my devices and find out if I need to upgrade, said there is an upgrade for this adapter, after upgrading the software and the driver.

    If I check the driver through the Device Manager, it says that the driver is uptodate. The site Web of Toshiba tells me that there is no download for this computer.

    The question is which I think is the wifi causing my BSOD, if so should I upgrade?
