  Hello

  It looks like FL inverter problem.
  The FL Inverter control the backlight of the screen and if this tiny part does not work, the display looks like Misty.
  It seems that the Toshiba technician would need to replace this part.

  What screen do you mean exactly? Do you mean a Web browser window? Window of Internet Explorer?

  Have you checked if the screen scroll down if the USB mouse is connected or disconnected?
  Also check if this problem appears if the touchpad is disabled using Fn + F9 key

  Last but not lease these symptoms can be caused by a malfunction of the keyboard.
  In this case the keyboard should be checked before replacing.

• Satellite A200 - screen turns off without reason

  I have a Satellite A200-E530D on Windows Vista Home Premium. For a month, I had something strange happening on my computer, shortly after the start, the screen turns off. without good reason! the only option I have is hard to system boot and everythings... Although a few times after the restart he still went.

  I tried to upgrade to the last poster of drivers (I have an Nvidia Geforce Graphics card 7300 Go with 128 MB of VRAM)

  Another weird thing, Vista SP1 does not install on my machine. tried to uninstall my Anti virus, but that did not help either one.

  Can anyone shed light on my dark screen?

  Hello!

  You have the same problem on an external monitor?
  I m not sure if it s a display problem, mother or software card

  Do you have what display driver installed? You have downloaded the driver from the Web from Toshiba site?

• Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

  Hi all

  My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

  After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

  I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

  I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

  That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

  Thanks in advance,
  MrRoy

  EDIT:
  After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

  So, if this happens to you:
  1. turn off your computer.
  2. wait about 30 minutes.
  3. start in safe mode
  4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

  It should work.

  Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

  The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

  Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

  So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
  And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

  But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

  Thanks in advance,
  MrRoy

• Satellite A200 screen has turned 90 degrees.

• After the waiting on my Satellite A200 screen is black

  I would like to ask for help.

  I have problem when I close the lid of my Satellite A200 1 - HV (PSAECE). Computer is going to hold and after I opened the hood, laptop seems to work but display is always black. Only way to make it useful is once again turn the unit off (by the power button) and turn it on.

  Sometimes, the same problem occurs when the computer starts. After loading Windows (XP) the screen goes black and I can't do anything. Sometimes at startup of Windows but the resolution is 640 x 480 and color depth is 16 or even 4 bits!

  I don't know if it's a hardware or driver problem. My graphics card is a GeForce GO 7300. I tried to find one driver other than that on the official website of Toshiba but I can't. This problem is quite annoying. Sometimes I have to try 3 or 4 times until my departure from the computer correctly.

  All attempts to help will be really appreciated.

  Hello

  Have you updated the BIOS to the version of Windows XP Home edition (5.20)?

  I found a few with similar threads describing the same question. It seems that Windows XP Home edition does not work perfect on laptops designed Vista. Now I'm really curious about it. I install WXP SP2 on my Satellite A200-1CR and test it with Eve profiles different power.

• Half of the Satellite A200 screen has red pixels

  Hello

  I plug in a toshiba Satellite A200 1 years.
  Today, I had a problem with pixels.
  Half of my screen has red pixels.
  A lot of black color becomes red.

  I have no idea on this problem and why it's happening.
  What should I do now?

  I would like to get in touch with my dealer? or is there a solution to this issue?

  Thank you

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should contact the Toshiba ASP.
  Usually after registration for laptop, the guarantee must be valid for 2 years and all part replacements must be covered there warranty.

  My recommendation is; make a call to the ASP and ask for assistance and handling of the Fryer

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 screen backlight works, but no display

  Just in the process of establishing a Satellite A100 that works very well through the connection of the external monitor but when switched over to using Fn + F5 LCD screen, the backlight turns on but there is no display at all, just a black screen lit.

  I suspect it is the screen that is past and not on the cord (have a screen on order) so will update here but I just thought that I would keep you updated on the progress.

  Has anyone else had this error?

  Steve

  Hello Steve

  The fact is that your laptop is a malfunction of the equipment, and it must be fixed by replacement. To ask if anyone has had this fault won't help you a lot. You need to fix it anyway.

  My question is: might want to fix you alone?

• Satellite A200 - screen crashes after loading Windows 7

  Intro - programmer by trade, material not my thing.
  I have a PSAF0A Sat A200-04Y019 with 1 GB mem. Intel Cpu T2080 1.73 GHz
  Toshiba MK8037GSX ATA hard drive
  Chipset Mobile Intel 945 Express display adapter family

  Has been running Windows Vista ok.

  I've upgraded to Windows 7 Professional the screen would freeze or have multi color lines on it. Only way out was to turn it off. Tried to do the window updates and update driver without success, it does not solve the problem. I decided to reformat the disk (partition Toshiba always leaving here) and install XP. Had problems to find the drivers and then had problems trying to load them.

  Tried the option "press the button / stop and press 0 (zero)" to try to restore factory default, but it did not work. It shows the Toshiba screen and then something flashes in the lower left corner of the screen and then boots into windows
  So, after careful consideration (and a few beers) I decided it was better to go forward as backward and reinstalled Windows 7. Still have the same problem, but I noticed if I boot in safe mode or safe mode command, the laptop is fine.

  I went to the Toshiba page support download and the have not not all drivers for Windows 7. So I downloaded the vista drivers, but I get an error when I try to install, operationg wrong version for this configuration.

  I can try fix my problem? (Besides that throw the laptop at the door and see how many times it will bounce) :)

  Brian

  Hey Buddy,

  > Was Windows Vista ok.
  Sounds like this one are a pilot or if preinstalled software problem Vista runs correctly.

  In addition, I think that your laptop isn't Windows 7 supported if you can t get drivers here. You can try the Vista drivers, but if they don't work, to look for the drivers yourself. Maybe another model uses the same material but with Windows 7 supports.

  In my opinion the best choice using Vista if everything is working properly there.

• Satellite A200 - screen has a pink tint

  In recent months my screen has developed a pink hue...

  I wonder if it's going to be worse - and if it can be repaired?
  Any info would be much appreciated, has soon

  Hello

  Maybe this s display malfunction.
  In this case only a part of replacement could help you.

  You can also connect an external monitor to the laptop and could check if it would be noticeable on the 2nd monitor also.
  If the external monitor would be affected, the problem is related to the graphics chip.

• No backlight on the screen of the Satellite A200 - 14 d

  Hello!

  Since yesterday I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A200 - 14 d. I left my laptop in full of energy and on the current for a while (about 30-40 min). When I got home, it was in standby mode (I'm with XP, btw). I pressed a key on the keyboard to exit this state of power, but all of a sudden the screen blinked, half of it went dark, then the other is too much and that's it. I thought it may have overheated or something like that, even if it was lit for an hour or less... I turned it off using THE button, left for about 15 minutes cool down a bit... After that I turned it on, but it's the same thing. While the Toshiba logo was displayed, the screen does the same thing and it went dark... But what I've noticed ofter an hour invesitgating, that he was not completely black. I thougth the display is off, but when I took the my lamp office and turned on the screen I was surprised to find, that I could see my office and the other stuff. Very dark, but everything was visible, even I was able to read things with black letters on white background... But when I turned off the light, everything was dark again... I tried to run some programs and everything works great - no problems at all except that I could not see most of the things that have happened to the screen.

  I searched with Google and I found the same description of my problem in a site for laptop repairs. Here, the author says that it is a very common problem by books and it was because of what we call "FL inverter Board" or something like that, which is responsible for the backlight of the screen. Whitout the backlight, you can see a very bleak picture of your office, bootscreen etc.

  My question is - what would I do? I am with an international warranty and I'm in Germany now (I have not bought the laptop of the Germany). I've heard of the hotline and a courier who comes and takes your laptop and need to service... Can someone explain to me step by step what I'm supposed to do?

  Thanks in advance!

  PS: Sorry for my English.

• Backlight is disabled until the power management software is loaded on the Satellite M40 - 295

  Greetings to all members of the forum.

  I am owner of ten months a Satellite M40-295. My problem is the following:

  When I start my computer the backlight is disabled until I go into Windows and the power management program is loaded.
  After that the backlight of the screen lights up. I tried to change the brightness with Fn-F6/7 and screens using Fn + F5 without success.

  Init information (init messages, such as the Toshiba and Windows logo) appears on the screen (I checked it under the intense light and the screen from another angle of view), so the adapter seems to work properly.

  Thanks in advance

  Hi Evangelos

  I'm afraid that now, you have a problem. If the unit won't start the BIOS chip is probably damaged. In my opinion BIOS update was bad idea.

  Right now I don't want write something on the screen because now it is not important at all. Please contact the customer Service of your country partner and let check the device. Sorry, but I'm 99.9% that the unit is now completely screwed.

  If the appliance shows any sign of life is the case for the service. :(

• Satellite A200 - 14 d: how many times can I change the screen resolution

  I would like to ask if often resolution change may damage the screen of my Satellite A200 - 14 d?

  Because now I'm programming in Assembly in resolution 640 x 480, and whenever I run a program, the screen should change its 1280 x 800 to 640 x 480 resolution, and it takes 1-2 seconds: it is empty, the backlight turns off, then the new resolution appears. I would like to ask if it permanently (often) could damage my LCD?

  Thank you.

  Don't worry man, it will not damage the screen ;)
  You can change the screen resolution often unhesitatingly ;)
