Satellite A200 - only flashing cursor upper left corner

Hi, please help.

So, I have a Toshiba Satellite A200. After giving windows 7 a go for a few weeks on this machine, I get an update message 'new chipset drivers available' Yay! So to install these drivers, I have to restart the laptop computer for the changes to take effect.

Guess what. Not more than computer laptop.

Boots of laptop for Toshiba screen with the logo of intel in the lower right, progress bar is his thing, the next screen... Black... only flashing cursor upper left corner. Given the last thing I did was update the chipset, I thought that, maybe the BIOS = dead.

I've been searching the net for solutions and have had hundreds of goes into the crisis recovery disk, the problem is, I can't get the machine Mode of recovery from crisis.
I tried a lot of keys and combos
FN + B
Win + B
0
F
FN + Esc
Win + Esc

To nothing not there I actually have one of these hold key combinations, the machine continues to show the Toshiba/Intel screen and beep at me until I cleared some combination of keys I'm trying, then goes to the white screen and blinking cursor bonus.

I also found a guide that suggests the CMOS of compensation before trying to repair the BIOS, however I can not find a key combination to do either a diagram or guide on how and where I could find the CMOS for this particular machine (I was hoping to solve this problem without disassembling the machine, as in the past that it often has not worked for me)

I really appreciate any insight and suggestions on this problem.

Hello

At the moment I think that it s just a software problem caused the new chipset driver. You can access the BIOS? Normally, this should be possible if you see the Toshiba logo first, then the cursor is flashing.
Check it!

This blinking cursor usually means that the computer is trying to boot from the HARD drive but it does not seem possible.
In this case the reinstallation of Windows can help you.

Also, make sure that the HARD drive is recognized in the BIOS correctly.

By the way: you have to be careful with these BIOS recovery programs. In the worst case you could destroy the whole ROM module

  • XPS 400 boot - diag lights on 1,2,3 - flashing cursor upper left side

    When I turn on my XPS 400, the diag lights flash: 1 and 4, then 3 and 4, then 2 and 4 and then they settle on 1, 2 and 3. seeing the HD works a little longer and then the only other thing that happens is there is a black screen with the cursor in the upper left of the screen.

    According to the manual, this model means "another failure has occurred."  I checked the cd/dvd cables and they were ok.  It is not for me to check error codes.

    Based on other posts that I saw that I saw on the flashing cursors I tried to start up with no USB device connected. No luck.  I also tried to boot with my XP Dell installation cd as well as my cd bootable Acronis, and it does not work, but light on each of my optical drives, so the problem is probably something else.

    I am not able to use F2 because I do not understand the Dell screen.

    The only new think I did recently was slipstream an XP installation to another computer with Nlite cd.  So that all the other OS XP install disk are in the C: root directory, so I thought that there could be a conflict, but that seems fairly likely.

    Please let me know what I might try.

    Thanks, Chris


  • I have the virus of file recovery, now I have a black screen with cursor blinking in the upper left corner.

    I have a Pavilion Notebook and recently caught the virus from file recovery.  I bought and ran the disc of Trend Micro Titanium Maximum Security.  Now, I get a black screen with a flashing cursor in the upper left corner of the screen.  All tests ran for memory, hard disk, etc. are OK.  Now I have a recovery disk, but have not backed up my files.  Any suggestions?

    Download your backed up files, then you can boot from your recovery disks to reinstall Windows.Several options to do so.

    Remove the hard drive and attach it to one > USB adapter . Plug it into another computer via usb port and copy files off the power.

    You can use > Ubuntu Live CD to boot from and backup files.

    OR ->Kaspersky CD has the ability to back up files.

  • I have a Toshiba Satellite A85 with XP Home Edition series. Windows does not start. At startup I get Toshiba logo then a black screenwith cursor upper left. Can I save it?

    Toshiba Satellite A85 Celeron with XP Home edition. Windows does not start. I have Toshiba logo screen, then it turns into a black screen with the upper left corner of the cursor. I have the recovery disk. Is it possible to record HD without re-formatting and losing all data?

    Thank you;

    If you run the Toshiba recovery application, you will lose all your data.  As indicated in the warning, this application will restore the computer back to wherever it was when it was first delivered by the factory.

    Without other complementary diagnostic information, it is difficult to determine what is happening.  Pressing the key (do not hold) of F8 beginning immediately after that the sequence of power should bring you to the Advanced Boot Options menu.  Try again then press repeatedly the key rather than pressing on and now.

    The recovery CD Toshiba, you have probably does not allow a "repair installation".  Contact Toshiba to see if they will provide you with a suitable CD.

    Given the fact that you can get a useful place when you start with the Toshiba Recovery DVD, my guess is that the computer is OK but that the hard drive has failed - or maybe more likely - the startup information is damaged so that it does not start.  If you have access to a computer equipped with a burner, download and create a bootable Windows CD.

    There are a number of available bootable CD which include various recovery and diagnostic tools.  You'll have to do some research to find out how to use the tools.

    Ultimate Boot CD 4 Windows
    Ultimate Boot CD
    Hiren BootCD

    If you feel overwhelmed by the tools and I just want back the data, and then use the Toshiba Recovery DVD, make you a Knoppix CD and use this key to your data, preferably on a network connection.

    If all this sounds like too much for you - and there is no shame in admitting that--take the laptop for a good local computer repair shop (not a type BigBoxStoreUSA or rather GeekSquad) and ask them to check it out and make sure to recover your data before anything else.

  • Need help! Does not start. Only get '_' in the upper left corner.

    Hi, have the following computer:

    HP-Pavilion model: KZ849AV-ABA s3500Z

    Running: win 8.1 (32B) 2G ram

    Have not had any problems I know, so far.

    Run norton regularly, no problem.

    Stop the machine to get out.  Returned, tuned back on and now will not start.

    It lights up, passes in front of the screen for "F9" "F11", etc.

    Then crashes on startup with a single "_" in the upper left corner.

    No beeps or error messages.

    Have you tried several attempts to diff power off, unplug, etc..  Same results.

    Have tried to interrupt the boot to make "diags", see the boot menu.  Everything seems fine, from what I can tell.

    Don't know what else to do.

    As mentioned, saw no problem before that to my knowledge.

    It helps the tight connections and no keyboard activity.

    Possible victory 8.1 automatic update when the last stop arrived.

    Recovery disks, I did several months ago when I upgraded to OS to win 8.1

    But I don't want to go down that path and reload everything.

    Any ideas how to check the boot sectors, chkdsk, etc.. ???

    Thanks in advance,

    Hi guys, thanks for all your comments.

    I managed to understand.

    I used the 'flash' player who made victory - 8.1 you create during the installation of win - 8.1 fresh.

    It's like a recovery disk.

    I started off of him and was able to use Diagnostics out of it to check the hard drive.

    He said it was to fix hard drive errors, then restarted.  Got the same new cursor. Then run this process again.

    Got mesg diff on the correction of hard disk errors, please wait.

    It restarted again and is came fine.

    Several reboots confirm the problem disappeared.

    I think that probably the hard drive boot sector becomes corrupted.

    I'll keep and eye to it and document, we had this problem with the machine.

    Will chose to replace the hard drive or buy a new machine.  Which ever option the woman wants to take (his machine).

    Thanks for your comments.

    PS You forgot to mention that I disassembled the machine and cleaned carefully.  Back together and restart with the same problem.  Then I did the above stuff.

  • extra frame created in the upper left corner of the scene when exporting .mov only when the 3D rotation tool

    Hi, I really need help because my deadline is imminent, and I looked all over for an answer but have found nothing... I use Flash Professional CS6 on a Mac and have not had any problems to export before .mov until I tried to use the 3D animation tool. A copy of the first image in the upper left corner of the scene - but it shows not in the timeline panel, or when you test the movie. It appears in the preview by choosing export options and stays there during export. I did about 5 different tests and they all have the same problem - it will only go away if I do not use the 3d rotation tool. Problem is that I really want to use this tool to get the effect I want!

    Thank you very much in advance!

    I could easily create the same problem, even in the current version of Animate. The only solution I could understand was to put a keyframe of Tween non - 3D before where the 3D Tween starts. Just frame 1 look exactly as it does now, only to do tweening 3D pieces start from frame 2. It then exports frameless glitch.

  • Satellite P300-1GN: greenish tint in the upper left corner of the screen

    I recently bought a Satellite P300-1GN, best laptop, I have ever bought!

    I booted up one morning to find a greenish hue in the upper left corner of the screen, at first I thought it was a graphics issue, but after looking closely, saw there was a line of crack/straight lines in the screen itself.

    Fig 1: [http://onfinite.com/libraries/1506419/600.jpg] sorry for the bad quality, camera phone.

    Photo 2: [http://onfinite.com/libraries/1506420/600.jpg]

    Then I had a glance at the back of the laptop to see if there was marks, see if something had been abandoned or struck, but no indication of that.

    Now the crack grew, and instead of going down, it goes right through the screen :(

    Photo 3: [http://onfinite.com/libraries/1506421/600.jpg]

    Could anyone help as to what could be the cause, and if it is covered by the standard warranty 1 year?

    Hello!

    To be honest, I've never seen such a display problem, but for me it seems to be a malfunction of the internal display. Looks like the internal display is broken somehow

    I think that in this case you need professional assistance from an authorized service provider. Technicians can check the display and tell you how it happened I think.
    On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • TX2-1020us digitizer cursor gets stuck 1cmx1cm of the upper left corner

    I have a tx2-1020us

    Sometimes, the stylus cursor takes over and gets stuck about 1cmx1cm from the upper left corner of the screen if the screen is 90 degrees or to move away it from the keyboard when you use it as a laptop. If less than 90 degrees, when this happens, it's somewhat usable but the slider still jumps at the skylight at random.

    I've known as a locking of the keyboard once but removing the power and the battery it is resolved.

    To troubleshoot, I ran the HP and N-trig utilities and they found no problem so even the question that happens. I downloaded the latest drivers from this site and install, I searched on Google and Asus seems to have a similar problem but I don't know if this applies. Sometimes, when I reboot it goes far, other times it is not. Deactivation of the first N-Trig driver stop the question but then of course, do not work the key features.

    I installed the software (for most, MS Office, Corel PSP and NeatWorks) and installed a scanner NeatWorks and GPS MS on it since I bought it last Friday (not connected when it is the case).

    Has anyone else seen this, they are of a resolution, I would stay before 15 days runs out?

    Problem solved!

    Turns, I have a desk lamp fluorescent light about 15 cm from the laptop.

    When the lamp is on and the laptop is plugged in, it does the cursor thing erased. Unplug the laptop or move the lamp 25cm and everything works perfectly. Go figure.

  • SQL DEVELOPER DATA MODELER tables seem to be read-only and make it a symbol of the string in the upper left corner

    I have a lot of tables in my data model.  I have three relational models defined in this file.  In one of the models, all tables seem to be read-only.  They all have a string in the upper left corner of the box.

    I use version control, so that are not archived or something like that.

    How to unlock these items?  Why they seem to be locked?

    Thank you

    Must not have been involuntary - you should have physically moved and dropped the tables/entities from one model to the other.

    If you want to copy them and be able to change in the future, use instead of copy / paste.

  • Upper left corner lighter than the rest of the screen on satellite

  • After FlashPlayer 11.04, a site with videos, like YOUTUBE opens a separate process and videos appear in the upper left corner and cannot be moved.

    After update to a version after FlashPlayer 11.02 when you open a window with flash videos on, next to the Firefox process in the taskbar appears a new process with the Flash Player icon and the video window is placed in the upper left corner and cannot be moved. If there is more a video on this page when you click on that Flash Player icon, you can see a list of all the videos.

    Using Flash Player 11.02 this problem does not occur and I used this solution for quite awhile, but now, if I use this version, I get a black window with an error message on security reasons, but if I click on it it plays without any problems. Although in a few Web sites that require Flash, he says he needs at least version 10, but I 11.02 but does not recognize it and ask to be upgraded.

    It's very weird because that doesn't happen in my laptop, I have a desktop computer with the exact same windows and version Firefx and this happens. I already tried uninstalling Firefox completely and even remove all plugins and extensions, and the problem persists.

    Uninstall Flash player also solves this, but then I wonder to upgrade the Flash player. This problem occurs in Chrome or IExplorer 10:

    http://Tinypic.com/view.php?pic=24v2u4l & s = 4

    Recent crashes of some multimedia content (this includes the Youtube videos, some flash games and other applications), in collaboration with Firefox are most likely caused by a recent update of Flash 11.3 and/or Real Player browser plugin to malfunction.

    To resolve this problem, follow the steps in these articles in the Knowledge Base:

    Adobe Flash plugin has crashed - avoid that it happen

  • I installed firefox 16 and when it happens my whole screen turns a reddish color and nothing appears that firefox symbol in the upper left corner.

    I have always used firefox. Two days ago, when I opened it, my screen becomes reddish and the firefox emblem is in the upper left corner and nothing else is on the screen--no text, no command, nothing. I uninstalled and installed again, same thing. Help!

    Thanks for the suggestions, but on the contrary, I restored my system to 2 days when everything worked correctly. It's all working now. The only great thing that has happened in these two days was a Java Update installation. I wonder if this has a conflict with Firefox. I have not applied this update of Java at that time.

    Some things like the application windows and Finder can be trained over time to reopen at a certain place. However, I find that even that is affected and you miss out after stop and put in reverse.

    The best way to keep all window locations is only sleep and wake the system.
