Satellite A210 - 17L - screen turns off

Hello people,

I have a similar problem to [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61255&tstart=15], screen turns off by itself randomly, but backlight remains lit and laptop always seems to work (judging by fan). This started after upgrading Vista to Windows 7 (new installation), there was no problem before. I tried to update the display driver, first ATI Catalyst, then Toshiba official one, the customer pays less often, but still doesn't work, it's nice embarrassing ;) It occurs regardless if the laptop is used or just slowed down and is not caused by overheating or saving energy, also cell is generally connected with mounted battery.

I have the last opportunity to go and update the BIOS, but I'm in fear of bricking the thing, so he would try as a last resort.

Any idea guys?

Thank you

Hello

There is an easy way to solve this problem: connect an external monitor and check what happens. If everything is ok on the external monitor installation (Windows) and internal monitor are ok, the problem must be internal monitor itself.

If it s the monitor itself it s inverter FL, LCD cable or LCD itself. That s is not easy to say on this virtual path for your laptop needs to be checked to an authorized service provider. Guys can make an accurate diagnosis.

  • Sometimes the Satellite A210-16F cannot turn off

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A210-16F and it won't turn off sometimes.
    Happens to the window "Stop", but it wont close and stays like that until what I stopped it manually by holding the POWER button.

    What could be a reason for this problem?

    Sometimes I can't stop my laptop or closing procedure crashes as impossible to close some of the processes that are running in the background automatically.

    In my case, sometimes it software Adobe acrobat reader crashes and I have to manually close this process (in the Task Manager).

    In most cases, the operating system cleaning can help I use the program known. CCleaner. It s free and you can clean the system and the registry.
    There are also other applications that could do the job so but I m satisfied with this program.

  • Satellite A210-17 itself turns off!

    At my little laptop less than a year and he turns off itself. I can work away at the office or on the net and suddenly the screen is blank and the computer turns off - all the power buttons are not lit and when I press the button to try to turn it back on it goes to the recovery page of the system where I start windows in normal mode... Its happened 3 times today and its so frustrating. The battery is fully charged so I know this isn't the issue. Do you think that there is a hardware failure?

    Maybe its overheating? Have you checked the inlet for dust? You can blow off the dust with compressed air in a CAN.

  • Satellite A210 - 128 (PSAELE) turns off when you try to boot from the CD/DVD

    Hi all. I have a (serious) problem.

    I bought my Toshiba two years ago (it was brand new) with Windows Vista already installed (vista and boot partition). Now I'm trying to boot and install Windows 7 Ultimate, but after I select boot from CD/DVD and start the copy of the system files, my Toshiba * turns *, completely. Overheating is not the problem for sure.

    Anyone with a similar experience or everything to know about how to solve my problem? :(((

    Thnx,

    Stipe

    Hello

    Why you are sure that your computer laptop isn't overheating? In my view turn is the typical pattern of overheating and you must clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow out the dust from the cooling fans.
    Check this box!

    You have this problem when you try to install Windows 7 or make this happen with the Toshiba recovery disc too?

    Maybe during the process of copying the files will be written on a bad sector on the HARD drive and so he shuts himself who knows?

  • Satellite A660-10W screen turns off completely using Facebook only!

    I understand that this is not a technical issue but, it may be as well!
    A disk or something perhaps?

    Sometimes this phenomenon of 'black-out' has happened in the past but its still OK after...
    However, I recently opened a page on FACEBOOK, and every time I am on facebook he blacks out.

    It inevitably then back again.
    But it happenes often - and always on Facebook.

    Any ideas what the problem may be?

    Hello

    To be honest, I've ever read on these problems.
    What exactly happens if you visit the Facebook page? The screen goes black?
    What internet browser do you use? IE?

    Have you tried different browsers like Firefox, Chrome?

  • 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?

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 1800 - 752S - the screen turns off

    Hello world.
    I have a satellite 1800 - 752S.
    Since an ew months ithas a weird problem: the screen turns off. If I press and release the button the lid on what it is, but after that turns off again quickly. OT goes off sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. Sometimes it provides be when I run out of battery and bothers me on AC, sometimes against. It works fine, after I turn sleep or hibernation several times, and after a reboot, it bothers me. I've updated his BIOS for the lates on this site, which would not help. I guess it's a hardware problem, because it's the same problem under Linux, and I tried to install different versions of drivers and windows (not only the one of the recovery CD). Anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you very much
    Roman

    Hello

    I think you're right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try connecting an external monitor. If it works without problem while laptops, screen turns off, then it must be a hardware failure.

    I guess it's a problem with the FL inverter. You have to give your machine a service partner Toshiba for repair.

    Good bye

  • Screen turns off when the Satellite A45-S250 is moved in the direction of less

    Hello.

    I have a satellite A45-S250. I had no previous problem with this machine. However, when the computer is running too long, or it is moved in the slightest way the screen turns off. I don't even have to type very slowly - or I lose the screen.

    But also, as I have said - sometimes I won't even be near the computer and the screen turns off. When I lose the screen if the light shines on it - I can see, it's always VERY fair Sun. Generally, it will come if I use the FN + F5 button.

    I don't know if it is a screen problem or a connection problem. It occurs with increased frequency. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    From your description, I assume FL converter is defective and must be replaced. FL inverter is responsible for the background light and the typical symptom for faulty FL inverter is dimming or blinking display.

  • Equium A20 fell and the screen turns off always

    Hi, I was using my satellite A20 long (4 years). Never had any problems. Recently he fell and the screen turns off always.

    I can see the toshiba logo and the windows logo also when starting, and even I can enter the BIOS and change the boot order too... but as soon as windows load screen is black. I don't understand

    Anyone with the solution?

    Thanks in advance...

    Hello

    > but as soon as windows load screen is black. I can t understand
    This means that the display output has accidentally changed to an external.

    Have you checked if something would be visible on the second external monitor?
    Select this check box.

    In addition I advise to use the FN + F5 keys to check if you can switch the output back to the internal display.

    Hello

    You see something on a screen? So you can check if the internal monitor works properly or not.

    If not try this:
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Now wait at least one hour or overnight and then install the battery pack and plug in the AC adapter. Before you turn it on, make sure the battery is fully charged and try to boot up your laptop.

    If you have connected to external devices such as mouse, keyboard, printer, etc. remove them until you turn it on.

  • Access code is lost as soon as the screen turns off

    When I turn my wrist after that my Apple Watch screen exploded, I need to enter the access code. I turn on the wrist, the screen turns off, I turn back, screen lights up, I need to re-enter the password. And so on and so forth. The watch does not maintain the code.

    I am white white, is not dense hairs on my wrist, no tattoos and I wear the watch very well on my skin.

    The funny thing is: it is a replacement watch, I got today. The other had the same problem, but this is probably because the bottom of the watch with the sensors fell, must have damaged the sensor cable. But this one is brand new.

    Hello

    Make sure the wrist detection is enabled:

    • On your iPhone, in the application of the watch, go to: My Watch (tab) > General > detection of wrist - turn on.
  • Equium A200 - screen turns off

    Hi, I'm having a problem with my Toshiba laptop, the screen turns off randomly and the computer still seems to work, but when I use a VGA cable to connect to a TV it does not display anything.

    Here are pictures of when it fires
    http://Tinypic.com/r/vr9d7d/7 yellow on the disc tray is turned on
    http://Tinypic.com/r/2d9poya/7 that the front turned on lights and computer sounds like its operation.

    This led me to believe it's a hardware problem, but when I turn on the computer in Mode safe it never turns off. I also got the fixed ups this year because the screen was losing power.

    Can anyone help I can't really afford a new laptop at the moment

    Hi David,

    It's a little confusing, it doesn't always happen when you shut down the computer, or just sometimes?
    What do you do to get rid of this? Always remove the battery and the AC adapter or what exactly?

    I think that it s a hardware malfunction, usually has nothing to do with the software. What you can try is a BIOS update from the official website of Toshiba.

  • My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    My Satellite Pro M70 itself turns off in the middle of the secuence of startup

    After turning on if it passes the test post and enters the menu grub (Linux + Windows) or BIOS
    without problems, but most of the time after the start of the BONE found in the start - up, suddenly it powers off the power.

    The problem becomes bigger and bigger as punishment I can boot any operating system

    As seen on messages more soon as I cleaned the vents of CPU with a spray suddenly sure I wasn't a problem of overheatting.

    Someone has an idea of what can happen?

    Thank you

    Hmm, the laptop passes the MESSAGE correctly and it stops during the initialization of the operating system. Is this good?

    Well, in this case I would exclude the RAM to malfunction.

    I put t also think that it's an overheating problem because the laptop should work a little longer until it would be closed due to high temperature.

    What about the HARD drive malfunction? Are you sure that the HARD drive is ok?

    In my opinion, you should check the HDD and maybe try another.
