• Satellite A200 - black screen of death

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A200 PSAFCA-01K00J model. This model, I bought Harvey Norman in Australia, but I can't find any registration on the web site of current Toshiba or abandoned. This sux because I am looking for any bios updates available to address a recent black screen problem.

  The first time this has happened that I was able to reboot after removing the battery/cut the current to several times before its good. The next day, after an attempted works to install Kaspersky Anti-virus update the same problem... Power disconnected, removed, deleted drums (replacing the cylinder one and then the other to check the faulty ram memory cards) of ram and hard drive and then bled off residual tension with start button. Through this process several times before finally successful. I had to pass by it a few times since after restarts automatic windows updates, etc. I extracted the procedure to manually reset the bios by jumping it, but it's something I want to avoid doing this until I've exhausted all other options.

  Toshiba Satellite A200
  Model - PSAFCA-01K00J
  O/s - Vista
  Hard Drive - 160GB with 50 GB of free space remaining.
  System 32 with proccesors core duo. (intel)
  Bios Version/Date-phoenix Technology Ltd 5.20, 25/10/2007
  SMBIOS Version - 2.4

  Any idea of sourcing on the last correct bios or any other input gratefully appreciate it... :)

  > Black Screen Of Death
  What happen exactly when you start your laptop?

  By the way: I ve checked the download from Toshiba on http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/download page and can not find this old model of laptop. I don't understand that Toshiba to THE is some archives for old models like on the page of European support.

  Anyway, I don't think that BIOS is the reason for this behavior.

• Satellite a200-1sv screen remains black at startup in Vista

  Hello

  We have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1sv my girlfriend: when we started, most of the time, the screen remains black, while the computer starts: after awhile, we can hear the sound of windows (vista).

  In addition, if connect us another screen of the computer, it displays the scheduled start screen. In order to use the computer, it must launch a few times... The support guy where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we cannot do something".

  Can we do something?

  Thanks in advance,
  Ju

  I have to smile to read this message
  Mainly, this statement is funny;
  > The support guys where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we can't do something."

  I think that this laptop has been delivered with the Vista operating system. So why the guy said that the laptop is not compatible with Vista?  :| …. that's nonsense.

  First the A200-1SV belongs to the PSAE6E series and it s fully Vista capable.
  Secondly, like you say the external screen displays home Toshiba screen and so I guess that's just a matter of adjustment.
  What you can do is to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between display devices.

  If it doesn't help to try to put the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD!
  In this case, the new OS, driver and tools will be installed and then everything should work fine.

  Good bye

• Satellite A200 - 23Q - screen does not show anything

  I am user and owner of a Satellite A200 - 23Q. The last few days, my laptop appears a certain problem. Its kinda does not. When I press the power button / stop, screens appears nothing, not even loading BIOS or something, even if the hard drive and power satellite (bottom left) turns on. Well, someone could say it is a screen problem, but this thing does not happen always, sometimes its working normally.

  I'm waiting for a response as soon as possible. Thank you

  P.S. This is my 1st post, so please see the patience and apologize for my weak English level

  Hi fotakis,.

  Which is easy enough to say what, exactly, is the problem: just connect an external monitor. :)

  If you see a photo on this subject, it seems to be only a problem of internal monitor. Maybe the FL inverter needs to be replaced
  But I think that in both cases (also when the external monitor shows nothing) you need professional assistance from an authorized service provider.

  The ASP can solve this problem!

• Satellite A200 reporting screens not correctable hardware problem blue

  My model Satellite A200 PSAFCA-01H00J is blue screening and reporting of a non correctable hardware problem. I disconnected all devices, including the mouse.

  All tests of memory and the device driver may report any problems. I unplugged and reinsert the two memory chips.

  There has been no hardware or changes to software other than Windows to auto update.

  This machine runs on Vista SP1. I dug the following message: Root cause found Bugcheck 124 unknown parameters 0x0, 0x95f7c3f0, 0xb2000040, 0 x 800. MSDN Info for this can be found at

  Anyone know where I should look for this hardware problem?

  If you remove the second module of RAM is still blue screen?

  I saw 0 x 00000124 on a similar laptop and it was a problem of CPU.

• Satellite A200 - white screen with 3 beeps

  Hello

  My Toshiba Satellite A200 was recently gives me a white screen with 3 beeps at every start. I took it to my friend for repair and they told me that I had to take the battery out and put it so that it starts. It worked for him, but not me. I called technical support and told me it was a hardware problem with the memory or the motherboard.

  Anyone have the same problem and know what to do? I wouldn't mind not check memory myself I don't know where to start...

  Thank you

  Hi hpthinker,

  I think the support that you called is right and it s a hardware problem. Perhaps with memory or the motherboard

  The best way to fix this would be new modules of RAM because they can be easily replaced in a few minutes and are not expensive nowadays.
  Just so buy new modules of RAM in your local computer store, or ask your authorized service provider for this problem. They can offer you new RAM modules and you can test it again.

  By the way: If you have two RAM modules, test it with a module only.

• Satellite A200 external screen is blurry

  We bought 5 x A200 satellite. After connecting to any external screen, we have nothing else that a fuzzy picture.
  It is impossible to work on it.

  Our other laptop P200 series work well on this poster. We really don't know what to do with it. We tried to use Nvidia utility, WIndows, drivers update utility, change the display via the keyboard, but we get the blurred image in all cases.

  We are very pleased with the A200 performance, but the external image is unusable. That you would recommend a solution?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Could you please post exactly the name of the Satellite A200.

  Are these units delivered with an NVIDIA graphics card or Intel card?
  In the nVidia control panel, you can change the brightness and contrast of the screen.
  I m not 100% sure that you will be able to choose the external screen but it s worth a try.

  Go to-> nVidia-> display control panel-> adjust desktop color settings
  The new page will appear where you can adjust your color settings.

  Check to see if the external monitor and select it. Then you can change the position of the brightness and contrast.

• How to change LCD on my Satellite A200-13R screen refresh rate?

  I really need your help guys, I bought the Satellite A200-13R, it has only 60 Hz refresh rate option, refresh rate of 60 Hz hurt my eyes and make me feel their combustion, 85 hz frequency never make me feel like, it's more comfortable for my eyes, but 85 Hz is not available in this satellite A200-13R is the graphics card Mobile Intel® 945GM Express Chipset

  I installed the latest drivers 4 this graphics... but still only 60 Hz option refresh rates available

  each of you know how 2 have 85 Hz refresh rate 2 use in this model

  I would be gratfull to have your help and I am glad 2 hove, some of you as a friend.

  Hello, my friend

  At first I try to understand your nickname, but unfortunately without success. Is there maybe a hidden message? ;)

  In any case, your ad is really amazing. LCD technology is truly the best for the eyes and the content is illustrated flicker. The old monitors refresh rate of 60 Hz was quite low and result flickered photo. Higher discount rates using the image was stilly and flicker.

  LCD technology is different and standard setting is 60 Hz. In my opinion you should speak with your family doctor. Maybe you need glasses when working on PC. I have some colleagues in my office who use glasses when working on PC.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A200 - black screen with two beeps

  Date: October 17, 2009

  I have Toshiba Satellite laptop computer * model A200 PSAFCA-01400J *. I am facing a problem of * completely black screen * (I can't see any image either). It happened twice more than the screen wouldn't turn on by moving the mouse or the touchpad. To turn on the screen I had to restart the computer. The screen worked well until it turns off again. Since it does not turn on even after I restarted my computer several times. I noticed that my * Windows vista home premium * load properly I can hear audio that indicates that I am ready to open a session. I also noticed the sound signal after slipping my finger on the sensor attesting that I connected successfully, but the screen remains black.

  When I turn on my computer, I noticed that it sounds two beeps, first beep is short and the second beep is relatively long. I tested the cover closing the cover switch and noticed that my computer goes into sleep mode and by opening the cover that Eve turns off and my computer turns on again; but the screen remains black. One of my friends suggested that the backlight of the screen inverter or the lid switch is defective. Can someone tell me what could be the problem and what do the two beep codes?

  Thank you

  Hi mate,

  Normally the beep codes at the start of average that it s something wrong with the hardware of your laptop. As Akuma said, maybe the graphics card or RAM must be replaced or other parts too.

  Have you already tried to connect an external monitor? You can see a picture on this subject?
  I don't know but maybe what he s m only internal something wrong with the monitor.

  In any case, I think you should contact a service provider for help. Technicians can check the laptop and fix it for you.

  Welcome them

  Then try to start.

  Hello

  I get a Windows blue screen error everytime I try to open HWSetup or access from Toshiba Flash card using the Fn key.

• How to disable the Satellite A200-Ah7 screen while using the external monitor

  Is it possible to turn off the monitor on the laptop Toshiba A200-Ah7 while I use a second monitor?

  It's embarrassing to have the laptop monitor on at the same time.

  Thank you.
  Gary

  Hmm, I think that's not possible, but have you tried to press FN + F5 several times?
  Is it only a CRT monitor available?
  The monitor CRT, external display and if only that is available, then you could try to choose this.

  Otherwise, you can close the lid if you do not use the internal monitor

• Satellite A200 - white screen and gel

  Hi Experts,

  I have this machine for 2 years. It was no problem. Last month, he began to display a white screen, and at the same time, it has been frozen after 3-4 hours running. Push the power button to restart, it fozen soon. I replaced a new fan and cleaned the dust inside. But the problem is still there. Someone has ideas what is the problem?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  The issue appears only after a long period of use is good?
  Eventually the higher temperature affects the graphics chip.
  The question would appear again until the graphics chip to cool
  This is my theory
  What do you think about this?

  It could also be a RAM problem anything is possible and that is why each part must be verified
  In your case, I recommend you to contact a technician for laptop. The guys could check the parts. I mean it of better to check the hardware, then replace only the defective part rather than buy parts and hoped that the replacement would solve the problem.

  But listen buddy; If the graphics card chip is really affected then replace the motherboard and this could be a costly affair!
