Satellite A205-S4577 - multicolored mobile lines on screen

I have an A205-S4577 (Vista) and have had problems with this laptop for about a year. I tried this last year of troubleshooting but has not had time to go in depth and had to buy another laptop in the meantime. I'm back to try and solve this problem, and in the meantime, I found that now the battery is dead and the laptop works only when it is plugged.

In any case, the problem started all of a sudden, I would like to open a session, start and after a short period (approximately 5 minutes) my screen would disappear and I would get a bunch of colourful lines on the screen and would force power off of the machine. I was able to operate in all Modes of security. I found Toshiba and Applications recovery disks / drivers and today attempted to restart the whole machine. I was off to a good start and then "poof" these boring but nice lines appeared! EU force the machine to stop because lines prevents you from doing anything else. Now I can turn on only machine, will get the 'Security Mode' option, then when I select one, the laptop goes to never never land. I was able to boot the laptop using the recovery disks, obtained as a screen that asked a selection (missing to fast to see what was requested) and then the appararurent lines again. Any suggestions?

Lines appear in all colors, sometimes green and blue, other times red and blue, not a constant model. Any suggestions will be appreciated. P.S. I already opened the laptop and cleaned the fans who have little dust! The machine is about 3 years old and more

Hi nskmartinez,

For me, it sounds like a hardware malfunction or the other of these lines are caused by the internal monitor or the graphics card itself. Way simpler to check that connects to an external monitor. If the same phenomenon occurs on external monitor its problem of graphics card and the motherboard needs to be replaced.

If you need spare parts, you can contact a service provider authorized in your country. Guys are able to order all the parts of Toshiba. In addition, they can help allows you to replace the parts if you are not familiar with the disassembly of the laptop.

Sorry for this standard more or less answer but here to user s only forum and if it s really a hardware malfunction you need professional help to get the spare parts and replace them. In addition, you have already tried the recovery disk that must be always and work and if not-online hardware problem.

    I m not an expert in computer science, but to me it sounds like a hardware problem. I think you should contact a service provider for help. Technicians can check your laptop.

    I can t imagine that s just a software issue because it doesn t turn on. Maybe it's a problem of the motherboard or the power on/off switch

    My question is: If the motherboard has solved the problem or not, and I would like to change my motherboard in any case to a different Board which is faster.
    If it is possible as an i3, i5, P67 or the new x 68, if this no what I can do to upgrade the jury? I have Toshiba Satillete A205-S4577 part # V000108030 Intel 945 integrated motherboard.

    Hello

    Sorry, mate, but the upgrade of the motherboard is not possible due to the proportion of page layout.
    You can only use a motherboard that is output to a Satellite A200/A205 series.

    Ask for the replacement of CPU or the upgrade?

    Well, you can use the CPU that is supported by the chipset.
    If the chipset would support the new processor so you have a good chance to get this quick.

    Have a have any ideals please on this issue?

    To be honest I n don't know what it is. If this happens very often, I recommend you contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for help. You have the new notebook with valid warranty so the best solution for you is to clarify this point with Toshiba.

    What you can do now is to test with external display or own OS preinstalled.

  • Satellite A300 - thin light green line on screen

    Hello Roy.

    Please notify. Each switch-on, this thin line seems biased and permanent. He appeared a few days ago. Is this a failure of the chip in the graphics card?
    How can it be rectified?

    Suppose a warranty issue. Look forward to a response from forum.
    Thank you.

    Hello Roy

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop and check it out. If the line is still there, it must be because of the graphics chip. If this isn't the case, something's wrong with the display.

    Contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider as soon as possible. Certainly it comes to warranty and replacement will be free.

    Good luck!

    First he must know that burning error can be related to different reasons.
    First reason may be not compatible disc.
    Like you probably n t know not all CD or DVD is compatible. Some CD or DVD is not completely supported and therefore a burn can error occurs.

    How many times does the error appear? Were the machine in unusual conditions as too hot environment or has some liquid on it or something?
    If this isn't the case, then it might be a serious fault that must be fixed by an authorized partner.
