Satellite A200 - after Toshiba screen black screen

Hey, I recently had a problem with my Toshiba laptop where, after the screen shows "Toshiba leading innovation", my laptop screen becomes black.
I have manged to find the problem is one of my hard drives, and I am asuming this is drive C as the laptop does not start. If anyone has any information on what can be wrong, ways to fix it and the possible costs in setting priority, can you help me please?

also... What are the chance I'll lose my files ect. off the drive?

Thank you

Hello

As far as I know, second HARD drive has nothing to do with the boot and he's here for the backup data.
You can remove it, but also be able to boot OS if everything is OK.

Can you please set BIOS to default settings and use F8 at startup?
You can enter advanced startup options?

  • 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 PSAF3A - ccreen goes black after installing the graphics driver

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 which has the video adapter Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family (256 MB).

    I bought my computer in Australia and is the SATELLITE A200 (PSAF3A-08202D) with Windows XP.
    The computer began to be very slow, and since I had a lot of programs that I wanted more I restored it to the out of the box.

    The problem is that the screen went black after the windows logo. He worked only in safe mode. I deleted the drivers of graphics cards and it works but without a graphics card.

    Now, I can't play games or watch movies.
    Whenever I try to install the driver, no matter if its from the cd that came with the computer, the toshiba Web page or the Web site intel it still restarts black screen.

    I tried to disable the adapter instead of uninstall. When I enable it, she accepts and he will say his work but just with screen resolution of 640 x 480.

    If I try to put it above it is always black.
    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    First of all, you should visit this Australian page from Toshiba:
    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au
    You will find all the drivers for this model of laptop.

    I checked and found that there is a BIOS v2.5.
    Check if the BIOS needs to be updated (if the older BIOS is installed)

    In addition, there is a display driver v14.29.1.4833 and chipset driver v8.2.0.1012
    Install it!

    Last but not least the Win XP should be updated to the latest state!

  • Satellite A200-195: TOSHIBA Flash Cards 'black and white cards' does not

    I was wondering if someone can help me.

    Recently, I restarted my Satellite A200-195.

    I found that my flash cards for my function FN hotkey buttons disappeared and are not pop up on the top of the screen more.
    However, I am able to support the other function keys on the keyboard part F1 - F8, one that allows the mouse F9.

    I already uninstalled and installed the added value package, support Flash utility and even tried to update the Bios, but it seems that my Bio is already the latest version.
    After all, that I seem to be able to activate my mouse F9 key, but my other function keys don't work anymore and the flash cards still do not appear like they use to.
    Is this what can I do to get my flash card pop up on screen without having to bring my laptop back to factory default?

    Have you tried to restart Flash cards?
    Start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities > restart Flash cards.

    You can also try is to install the Flash cards support utility if you can find it on the download page of Toshiba.

  • 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?

  • 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 L500D - after the screen of the BIOS, just blinking cursor

    Help, please.
    Windows 7 has frozen so I turned off the laptop. And then turned back on and now after the toshiba screen all I get is a blinking cursor.

    No beeps. No warning message.

    Any suggestions?

    Richard

    Hey,.

    I had the same problem last week on another Toshiba laptop and the solution was to reinstall Windows Toshiba recovery disc.

    I think that the reason was a bootloader corrupt because I had also a blinking cursor and nothing else has worked.
    So I booted from the recovery disk and reinstalled Windows from this disk. After that everything worked again! :)

    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 A200-28 s becomes black when connection Vista

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200 - 28 s computer laptop windows vista home edition.
    Recently, when I have the logon screen turns black.

    Thank you

    Hello

    The screen is black only when Vista has been loaded or also when logged in the BIOS too?
    Did you check if you can see something on the external monitor?

    To me, it seems that the video output has been set to external monitor and it's the reason why you n t see anything on the internal screen for laptop.

    Check if you can switch the video output using the FN + F5 key combination

  • Satellite A200-1AE: Toshiba hardware utility - "serial number is invalid '.

    Dear Sirs,

    I have install Vista Business on my A200-1AE (origin, it was the home of top). I have install all the drivers except TOSHIBA Hardware Setup Utility. Then I try to install it says 'serial number is invalid '.

    Help how to install it and what can be a problem?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this error message might appear for different reasons.
    First this error by using applications that was not designed for this series of laptop.
    Satellite A200-1AE belongs to the PSAECE series. Have you downloaded the tools and drivers for this series?

    Please check this!

    Second, the error of incorrect serial number appears if the wrong DMI information was stored on the system board.
    This could happen for example if a technician has not updated the DMI after a motherboard replacement.

    Finally and above all, it s that you have not installed all the drivers and applications in the right order.
    You must check the installation instruction txt file and need to install the drivers in the order mentioned in this file.

    Good luck

  • Satellite A200 - after installing XP I don't have internet connection

    I installed XP on my satellite A200 and internet does not work. I changed BIOS, installed all the drivers available and I have a problem.

    Although it shows me the WiFi networks that are ready to go. When I try to access it is not. When I connect my ethernet cable from my router it says its connected well but there is no transfer or no internet connection.
    Everything seems to be ok, but I can't step on line...

    Can someone help me?
    Please...

    Hello!

    After installation of XP have also installed drivers? In particular the Ethernet and WLAN card driver driver. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, you should check for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager.

    Also make sure your router has an internet connection. You can check in the router configuration.

    Last but not least to check the card WLAN and LAN TCP/IP settings. If your router is using DHCP, you must activate or try static ip addresses.

  • Satellite A200-211 - toshiba common module for Win7

    Hello

    If I understand the common module from toshiba and toshiba logical device added value are the same. and I tried to google the two of them to download for my Satellite A200-211, which works on windows 7 ultimate 64-bit, but I CAN'T find at all.

    Do any help to get it? Thank you

    Hello

    > toshiba value-added peripheral logic and toshiba common module is the same

    No, the common modules are designed only for Win XP and this software is used by other tools and software from Toshiba, so in many cases the common Modules must be installed in order to get other software treatments of Toshiba by using Win XP OS.

    The VAP (value added package) is available for Windows 7 and Vista.
    It controls the FN keys and multimedia, buttons and adds an extension of Toshiba to Win 7 power management.

    If you are using Win 7, then you must install VAP.
    Check the VAP Win 7 64 bit which is released for other series laptop Toshiba L500, A660, or new models of laptops
