Satellite A210 - display becomes darker after 5 minutes

My satellite is fairly new, I bought 2 months ago. I already wrote toshiba an e-mail, but I have yet to answer.
When I start my laptop, the light is very bright, everything right. But after 5 minutes, it turns into a darker shade. Not very dark, but a slight layer of gray. He did it now for 2 weeks or more.

I looked for the brightness of the display settings, but they are up. What I'm asking is that the controller is at the maximum, but he says it's only 70 (instead of 100 which I guess would be the real maximum).

Also with the FN keys does not, because it's also the highest level of brightness. I don't know what to do next. Maybe a driver is needed or do you not think that the screen is broken?

I hope you all understand me.

Thank you
Candy

Can you please you start Notepad and enter the BIOS settings? Leave 5 minutes running and tell us if the screen is darker as when you use the operating system.

    > Where can I get some old drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600, I can install without starting windows?

    Please don t get me wrong, but I think you're on the wrong track.
    (Graphics card, LAN, etc.) device drivers must be installed in the currently running system (i.e: Windows OS, etc.)

    I m sure; pilot isn t the problem if nothing is visible on the screen.

    First of all, I would recommend you to connect the laptop to an external monitor/screen just to see if something would be visible on the screen 2.

    But just a question: have you tried to start Notepad using a boot disk (windows installation disc, the disc recovery Toshiba or similar?).
    Maybe the Windows system is confusing upward and therefore, you are not able to start the system? In my opinion, you should test this option.

  • Satellite Pro A60 cuts off after 3 minutes

    Hello

    work in IT Support generates many puzzles, but I currently have a Satellite Pro A60 which cuts off after 3 minutes.
    I have deleted the main CPU fan and have noticed that the VGA Chip Set fan fails.

    It is not at all which makes me think that it is completely broken or there is a problem with the motherboard.
    Who is more likely and if not card mother, can I buy a VGA heatsink thermal elemnet / separate fan and if so what is the part number and ball park cost?

    Matthew

    Hello

    As you already suggested this strange faucet portable bottom may be related to high temperature and to overheating.
    You are right; the malfunction of the fan could be a reason to close automatically and sometimes down.

    > can I buy a VGA heatsink thermal elemnet / separate fan

    Usually, the cooling modules are pieces separately and can be replaced.
    But notebooks disassemble and replacement of cooling modules is not easy and a little more difficult for someone who has no experience and never changed something like that. It s just too risky, because this person may damage the motherboard very easily.

    So, it's probably best to contact the technician of specifications for these s replacements!
    The ASP can command the support of the head of Toshiba warehouse cooling modules and compatible and could replace it.

    Best wishes & congratulations buddy ;)

  • Satellite A210 display problems

    Hi all

    I like my Toshiba A210-10Y, but there seems to be some problems with it.

    Portable computer does not always start immediately; Sometimes, I have to press the 'close' button because the Black Guard screen and the blue satellite does not burn (but you can hear it make a sound and light Burns 'on').
    * Close the screen for a while, is a no-go for my laptop. I already changed the "loading windows after closing" settings (sorry, my laptop is Dutch so I don't know what said that.. English for the Dutch people here 'windows hervatten'.) But even that does not always work so I have to press the close button and restart my laptop (how boring when you're in school). What I really want is to close the screen and open it again and go right, back to work... like everyone :(
    Blue screen has become a common friend. Sometimes when you're at work... type a little bit, you know. The computer is fr blue screen reboots without reason! It goes right down!
    * I often blocks on the screen... not dead pixels, but the Brown block on the top of the screen... sometimes they disappear, sometimes not.
    * Lately, I have to restart my computer over and over again, because after he loaded it sometimes stuck... "crash" again (not blue screen of death, but a white layer)

    I still have the original warranty and I bought an extended warranty. I can fix it on myself with some drivers or re-install windows (vista) or do I give the nice people of the store I bought a call?

    Thank you.

    Hmm it of really difficult to say what's wrong with your laptop.
    Sounds a bit like your screen to wake up from stand-by or hibernation mode.

    But on the other hand is more sounds like a graphics card problem.
    I mean especially this statement:
    > Blue screen has become a common friend. Sometimes when you're at work... Type a little bit, you know. The computer is fr blue screen reboots without reason! It goes right down! I often blocks on the screen not dead pixels, but the Brown block on the top of the screen... Sometimes they disappear, sometimes not.

    It sounds really not good if you ve hangs on the screen!

    In your case, it would be really desirable to contact the ASP in your country.
    The fact is that your laptop warranty is valid, and if something would be wrong with parts, it should be fixed for free
    I think that the ASP is not a bad idea.

    Good bye

    I bought a few days ago, and til the first start, I had problems with the WLAN connection.

    It works very well, and after a time of undefinied, the connection is lost. The only solution to solve the problem immediately: disable a WLAN turn on or reboot the laptop.

    The problem is only with this computer because the other Noebooks work without losing the connection.

  • Satellite L10 screen very dark after disassembly

    Hi all

    I took my Satellite L10 part to swap on the plastic dessu for a damaged joint.
    Now is superb, but something was wrong as the screen is not be enlightened now.

    Anyone have any suggestions what else could be?

    If I look at the screen to light, I can see the desktop, I bought a new UPS thinking that was the problem but it has not fixed it :(

    Maybe a second faulty inverter? I checked all connections etc...

    Thanks in advance!

    Rich

    Hello

    For me, this looks like the inverter issue.
    If you see the desktop and the image appears as behind a thick mist, then in most cases this problem is related to the inverter FL.

    I put t know if the inverter is faulty or if you have connected all the bad parts
    The two may be possible, and so I recommend you to speak with a local laptop technician.
    In your case, that the old parts must be checked first, before buying a new FL inverter, cable, etc.

    Hello

    Have you tried an external monitor on the laptop?
    If the external monitor works fine, it seems to be a problem of internal display and must be replaced.

    You use the factory settings on your laptop computer or you have installed your own version of Windows? Before turning to an authorized service provider, you need to restore factory settings to determine if it s a hardware or software problem. With the factory settings, everything should work fine and if not, I think it s a hardware problem.

    After 5 minutes, my screen becomes dim unless I move the mouse.
    In order to disable this I need to go into the Advanced mode in eco service department.

    You can change it easily.
    Go to control panel (change the icon display, small or large)-> power management
    Here you will find plans of different powers.

    Choose the one you want to use: for example the balance.
    Now, click on change Plan settings

    Now, you can find the option called the brightness
