Satellite A200 - with connected power supply screen goes black or partial

I have a satellite A200 age of 5 years.

The laptop works fine when using the power of the battery when the AC power cable is plugged into the computer freezes sometimes displaying a partial color screen or a black screen. I tried with my son AC cord (also Toshiba) and same problem appears.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, very frustrating.

Regards Dave.

It is not easy to help in issues that sometimes occur.
Have you done something about this? Something like test with its own OS preinstalled?

On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. It can be caused by software, but also the material can be responsible for this.
In my opinion, you should backup all your data and reinstall original Vista and test it with the factory settings.

If the problem occurs again you must be a hardware problem.

    Hello

    When you say "live update" are you talking about Windows Update?

    If so, you can go to the ATI site and download the latest driver for this video card. Here are the download links for the drivers later, Windows 7, 9.9 32-bit and 64-bit version for the Mobility Radeon 3000 series.

  • Satellite L405D-11V - freezes and the screen goes black when you watch the video

    OK, so I have the Toshiba Satellite L405D-11V, I had a breakdown, basically, the computer freezes at any time and the screen would go black, with the fan and lights still ongoing, this could be at the start, or a few hours using the laptop, so I decided to ring Toshiba technology support and they arranged for my laptop to collect and be expelled for repairs.

    I was able to track repairs online via the tracking service and was able to see what they were doing to my laptop, he said that they have ordered a part, it was underway and the repairs are completed.

    However, I got the laptop back today, I turn it on, all right, I start using the cell phone that everything is fine, so I decide to watch a video on youtube, and it freezes again, so I turned off now pressed the power button, hoping he wasn't that a large, I turn back to and load the video once again it freezes and the screen goes black again, after that whenever I am watching a video or a game, it causes the computer to crash and freeze as before the repairs. So there is always a mistake, but I'm not sure what to do

    Its still under warranty, I bought the laptop from the Comet, but I really don't want to send the laptop for repairs again and find it comes back with the same fault, is it interesting sending distributed, maybe see if the comet will replace the laptop as its still less than a year to buy the laptop, or it'll just be useful to save all the hassle and buy a new laptop? If this fault happened to someone else, I could use you some help, and if someone could shed some light regarding what could be bad?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    You changed something on the configuration after you got your notebook back from repair? You update a driver, or something else?
    What operating system you use on your L405D satellite?

    To be honest it is really hard to say why it happens because technicians test to check if your laptop is running correctly.

    In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it's the origin of the problem of s
    If this isn't the case, I recommend installing Windows from Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. These parameters are pre-tested by Toshiba and should work.

    If you still have the problem, you must contact the technicians again. I mean you could track the online repair and according to your assignment, everything worked well during repair, so in my opinion he should t be a problem to contact guys exactly.
    Explain your very detailed problem. I think that everything can be clarified then. :)

  • At the beginning; After the Windows Logo at the start, the screen goes black and a POWER SAVE MODE comes up. I must stop button. I can run the computer as I am now in Mode safe mode with networking.

    When I turn on the computer of gateway, the machine starts and the initial window logo starts and runs for about five seconds.  Then the screen goes black instead of blue and stays black for about 10 seconds.  A 'Power SAVE MODE' appears.  The machine is dead to all orders.  I have to stop by pressing the off button.  I can turn back and the F10 key to get in Mode safe mode with networking.

    I tried to reinstall Windows XP original but it would erase my files.  I tried to restore the last good configuration also knowledge.  That did not work.

    The change came after a Windsows update.  I have McAfee security and I asked Windows but could not use due ot a conflict. -C' is all this bad start.  Clues?  I use Negear.  No change when I hooked directly either.

    Botton line, I can run in SafeMode with networking; but it is slow and I can't make alll I have to do.  What does not load Windows?

  • Satellite 3000 - X 4: screen goes black after start

    Hello

    I have a laptop of s3000 - x 4 satellite.

    swiched top upward start then the screen goes black, I can just do the display to see loading, windows
    This happens even if I can get it to boot in safe mode, or when I enter setup.
    If I'm lucky, I have a minute of commissioning until the display changes. and as soon as I restart, I'm square.

    can anyone help? If it is a component, it is easy to find and replace?
    see you soon

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the external display?
    If this is not the case, try it. Also check out the switching between display devices with the FN + F5 key combination
    If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied. Also try to improve the shape of the Tosh site graphics driver.

    But if it won't work and you can't see anything on the screen so I guess there must be something wrong with the hardware. In this case only the ASP in your country is able to help you.

  • Satellite P100 - the screen goes black

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P100 and randomly, the screen goes black but the system continues to operate. I downloaded the latest drivers from toshiba, all power options the maximum support, run ccleaner and driver Sweeper to remove the old entries driver, re-installed the login screen of the mobo and nothing seems to work.

    The screen goes black sometimes when using windows but STILL turns black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Model: Toshiba Satellite P100-PSPA6A-02NO21

    GPU: Nvidia Quadro nvs 510 m
    Chipset: Intel i945PM

    RAM 2 GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 operating system

    Hey,.

    > ALWAYS goes black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.
    This means that the graphics card is defective

    Theoretically, it could be an overheating problem too. Higher time can also cause a black screen. You should try everything that is possible to clean your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    If it doesn t help it seems to be a hardware malfunction but seriously a point would be interesting: have you noticed the same thing with preinstalled OS (Vista) Toshiba?

  • Screen goes black whenever I move my Equium A200

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A200, my screen goes black whenever I move the laptop, I do the screen before the screen lights up again! No idea why this happens?

    Thank you very much.

    It is not easy to say with certainty why this happens, but I guess that there must be a contact between display and motherboard problem.

  • Satellite A210 - screen goes black without any reason!

    I got my satellite A210-171 for a few years and a few months ago, everything was OK.
    But our when I'm working or watching a web my screen goes black and nothing seems to work?
    The only way around this is to turn off the power switch on the laptop then restart it again.

    I then get a message saying roughly...
    Computer has not closed properly OR sound closed to protect all data, then a countdown begins to re open!

    It may be OK for a few hours or maybe a day there is no limit of time on it!
    If anyone can help I would be very grateful, but please don't use of computer jargon that I don't understand

    Thank you

    Hello

    It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem. It could be a hardware malfunction or a software problem.
    But as Auma says you should test the RAM with Memtest86. It's really very easy to use and can detect modules memory defective RAM check it!

    Another question is have you installed a different display driver or updated? I ask this question because the display drivers they are not causing Toshiba sometimes of questions.
    In any case, I would recommend updated display driver and check the site Web of Toshiba for a update.

    And before moving on to an authorized service provider reinstall you Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. So you will get back factory settings and with these settings, your laptop should work fine.

    Good bye

  • Screen goes black after the connection to the laptop.

    The login screen appears and I can connect.  Then it takes a long time for the computer to think, but it never goes to my office.  The screen goes black.  I did Control + Alt + Delete to close and turn off the computer.  It's a laptop and I had trouble with the electrical cord were staying not 'on '.  I don't do social networks, or open unsolited E mails.  Is there a function key which will solve this problem?

    If restore work not and you do not have a Vista DVD from Microsoft, do a repair disc to do a Startup Repair:

    Download the ISO on the link provided and make a record of repair time it starts.

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu.

  • Satellite C660-1J2 - the screen goes black for a second

    Hey everybody.

    I recently changed my HARD drive and did a reinstall fresh, as previous was damaged. What is happening now is that whenever I have connect or disconnect the cable the screen goes black for a second. There is no real consequence of this, I'd rather just if there was an option to make it happen.

    Then, give a shout someone if you know how to deal with this.

    Hello

    You have installed Windows from Toshiba normal Microsoft Windows disk or recovery disk?

    To me it sounds like that, you forgot to install the display driver. Also check the Manager of devices for the yellow exclamation points or unknown devices.
    Make sure that correct display driver is installed. You can download the latest version of Toshiba's official website:

  • 1IZ satellite A200 with Vista crashes every day without no reason

    Hello guys,.

    I have a Satellite A200 with Vista Home Premium installed. In the past months, the BONE is suspended every day, I was not able to detect the reason. nothing is having replied to the questionnaire, not even Ctrl-Alt-Delete, the only solution is to stop from the power switch.
    I do not found something wrong in the system log, so I do not know what to do. Toshiba PC diagnostic shows everithing OK.

    What can I do? Perhaps a cooling problem? A guide for cleaning?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    So to be honest, it's hard to say what are the really causes your system to hang. Possible reasons:

    HIV 1-infected
    2 problem of file system Os including drivers, programms...
    3 had to be clean
    hardware problem 4

    I recommend:

    1 search for viruses
    2 reinstall the drivers (especially as a vga and chipset drivers). Check installed programs
    3 use compressed air jet to blow off the dust from the cooling module.

    If this does not help, do a fresh install of the operating system. Then we will see what to do

    When in remoote mode, you must go back in local mode to use the controls on the front panel, just like any other instrument. From the Manual:

    When the power is in remote mode, you can return to the front operating mode at any time by pressing the key (Local) If you don't have not previously sent the locking of the front panel control. A change between the façade and the modes of remote operation will not change in the output parameters.
