• 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 A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

  Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

  When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
  After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

  There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
  Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

  Any suggestions?

  PS:

  also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

  Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
  Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
  In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

• Satellite A200 freezes / restarts randomly on startup

  Hello

  I have Toshiba Satellite A200, Windows Vista Home Premium SP2 6.0.6002.
  Intel (r) Core (TM) 2 Duo CPU T5450 at 1.66 GHz
  Video ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2400 version = 8.380.0.0
  Audio version of Realtek High Definition Audio = 6.0.1.5406
  Network Marvell Yukon 88E8055 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller version = 10.0.4.3
  Intel (r) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection version = 11.5.0.32

  For the two weeks... my laptop randomly freezes / restarts... especially when it is started for the first time in the day OR after being in standby / hibernation of State for a few hours.
  Sometimes it gets stuck before we get to the login screen... sometimes shortly after... no certain activity seems to be related to this gel. And it's not freezing all the time... sometimes it restarts too. No blue screen.

  No new software installed, except regular updates of windows. No conflict in the device driver. I checked the website of toshiba for the latest drivers. BIOS had a newer version... So I installed which (2.5). But the problem has not disappeared.

  When the computer reboots, it works fine... I'm not able to find something to worry about in the event viewer. Start logging also came not to the top with a few errors. I also disabled the option restart automatically.

  Windows partition was low on space... only 6 GB left of allotted 40 GB... so I thought to backup and install from scratch... do that... all the updates that are installed during the next days... but my laptop is back to the same State. One thing I notice, is that now it takes longer after starting (and then restart) to connect to the wireless router. But this isn't a problem.

  Microsoft Fix It didn't help either... am looking for help to identify the cause and resolve it.

  Is there a conflict somewhere which surfaces while system is booting high / shortly after startup?

  Thank you in advance.

  > How we can say is that there is nothing wrong with the equipment? What else can a check?
  The new installation of the operating system has not helped. Right?
  So for me it looks like hardware related issue.
  I think the disk HARD or RAM (memory)

  The HARD drive can be easily verified. Download the drive diagnostic tool called HARD: Drive Fitness Test
  It s freeware tool and it allows you to scan the HARD drive and get details on possible malfunction.

  The diagnosis of RAM can be done easily. Of course, there are tools like memtest86 + and similar, but in my experience the results of the analysis are not always 100% right
  So, in that these cases it s always a good idea to test the laptop using new tested s RAM

• 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

• 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: 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.

  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.

  You can also try testing with external monitor.

• Satellite A200 - 23Q - cfixer window at startup

  Hey guys!
  I hope someone can help me.

  Whenever I turn on my laptop (I have the Satellite A200 - 23Q) when my desktop appears at one point it breaks and I get the "cfixer" window pops up saying that it cannot find the cfixer file, and there is also a date when the file is deleted (it's always today's date, the date when I have my computer on). On the bottom, I have to cancel, try again or restore. When this happened for the first time, I clicked on restore, but it happened again the next time I was starting so I guess it's a virus so since then, I always click Cancel. But it happens for 3 or 4 months now and it annoys me reallly. When I get rid of this window continues startup, load the bar side, bluetooth and other programs.

  Help, please! Is it possible to settle this issue without having to reinstall the operating system?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello!

  If you reinstall ConfigFree utility that you can t do something wrong, but this .exe file at startup belongs to this tool and so you should try to reinstall.

  Try it and post your result. Relocation of this tool only takes a few minutes and should solve your problem. :)

  Good bye

• 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

  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 A200-1AI just beeps at startup

  Hello

  I think, there is a video card failure, that is why the laptop can not start. The video card is integrated into the motherboard, and you have to replace the whole motherboard

• Satellite C660D 15F - black screen after startup

  Satellite C660D 15F

  Hi guys,.

  I have a big problem with my laptop. When I started to-go from sleep - two days ago I heard the computer starts normally but the screen remains black. No mater how many times I tried to restart, the screen shows nothing, no message no picture. The normal operation of the side light remains on but the keyboard lights stay offshore. I can hear the computer normally (the fan etc..).

  I tried to hit SHIFT F8 start buttom on the first night, and the image was on the first attempt when I started the machine and everything seemed normal again! The next few days, I got a black screen once more and the case never worked again, no matter how many times I tried.

  Can someone help me please get out of this mess? Has anyone had a similar problem? How do solve you?

  My machine is now exactly four years.

  Thank you very much for your ideas! I really need to access some files on there!

• Satellite C855-273 - black screen on startup

  Hello, sorry for my English.

  My Satellite C855 started not to download windows 8, I wanted to try to restore with recovery DVDs, but began on-screen display strange colored pixels. I tried to enter the bios to save data with a live ubuntu. I get out of the bios without change, but now the display does not work. I tried to use an external display with vga, but nothing... The display does not indicate the load screen toshiba still and I can't enter the bios, LEDs and fan work but do not understand what has happened.
  someone help me solve the issue please.

  It is possible the BIOS restore?

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here, but somehow, I feel that the BIOS is doomed. Why? I don't know what you did exactly.
  Why this action with Unbuntu Live? For what?

  During the installation of Recovery Wizard is interrupted, it is possible to start it again. I don't know if this will help, but try to reset your machine.
  Disconnect the power and remove the battery. After that press the power button / stop for about 20 seconds. Leave it for a while and try to start your laptop with AC power only.

  What happens when you do this?
