Satellite A300 - too bright screen and lack of contrast

Is it irritates me immensely

No matter what I do, there seems to be no way to add contrast and reduce the brightness of the screen on my laptop.
For example, blacks show that blacks... just slight shades of gray

I am a photographer, I like my photos and display to be precise for the colors I see in real life, so I can change them accordingly. but rather... the screen seems just washed out, more exposed, and it hurts me ' eyes!

I tried to adjust the contrast and brightness manually by going to graphic properties, but even with the settings below, the remains of the screen bright and washed out.

is there something I can do?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

That's the problem with the LCD screen. Due to the lighting, it is difficult to block all of the light using liquid crystals.

OLED plasma and CRT screens do not have this problem. So if you want the best possible image contrast, you may buy one of these types of monitor and use it via the VGA port.

  • Satellite A300 - no power light and won't turn on

    Hello:

    My satellite A300 fell off my office. It has been disconnected.
    A few hours later, I tried to turn it on, but does not work when I plug the ac cable lights that turn on normally.
    Ive opened to check if there is nothing broken, but it seems all good.
    What can I do?

    My battery is dead, so I can't do anything with it.

    on the virtual path that is not easy to say what the problem is here, but if there is no reaction and led DC is not on I assume that there is a problem with the power of electronic power supply on the motherboard.

    Visually, everything can be OK, but some connectors are probably damaged.
    Repair (Exchange motherboard) is quite expensive, so I think you should sell it on eBay and get any other machine.

    Satellite A300's beautiful machine, and you can get another A300 used on eBay for about 100-150 Euros.

  • Satellite A300-Y00 black screen but the fan from

    I bought a TOSHIBA satellite A300/Y00 in June 2008 – 16 months. Model number PSAGOA-02Y. After ten months he did not start suddenly. It sounds like the processor and the fan starts but the screen and the led underneath the screen was all black. I tried to connect it to an external monitor, but the screen was too black. I gave her to Toshiba for 2 weeks (!) who said it was the motherboard. They replaced for free that it was still under warranty.

    A few weeks ago the same thing happened again. I turned off it and for some reason at random, he started as usual a few hours later. I called Toshiba to say that, in my view, that computer will crash soon again. They said that they will be able to take it in for service, but if they could not find anything wrong with it that they would charge me $ x. I don't give him service. I even went to a local Toshiba support guy who said that he couldn't find anything wrong with my computer and that there nothing that could do.

    Now the same thing is happening again. This time I can't do it again. Of course their fantastic 3 months for the last motherboard warranty has expired. I tried to take out the battery and start it only to the power, but it does not help.

    I don't want to pay $500 for a new motherboard, and then drop it again. It is obvious that it is a hardware problem and I think that Toshiba should replace my computer free of charge.

    Anyone with similar problems? Any advice? Get pretty annoyed...

    Hello!

    Have you ever contacted again authorized service provider? If this is not the case, do please! You should talk about it again with technicians and then you will see what they can do for you.

    I can understand that it is irritated, but these things can happen and I think that the ASP will be best for you help you. To be honest, I have good experience with my ASP. The repair goes very fast and the technicians are very friendly and knowledgeable. It of always nice to talk a bit with them.

    I m not a technician, but maybe they can fix it as a gesture of good will or if you only have to pay the motherboard and not Exchange

    > I am running on the assumption that A = Australia & E = Europe.
    > Can anyone clarify this for me.

    You are right that the last digit or the letter designates the region. Then E means Europe and Australian way.

    It s an Australian series for Toshiba laptop and, therefore, you need to download the drivers from Toshiba Australian page

    The BSOD may be a result of not fully compatible drivers

  • Satellite A300 PSACGA - display distorts and freezes

    I have a Satellite A300 PSACGA-02V010 running Vista Ultimate.
    The laptop is around the age of 10 months and 12 hours a day for work purposes.

    For some reason there is a few days display distorted (pixelated) and froze.
    The only way to recover was a difficult start. Restarted the laptop it shows the desktop for about 30 seconds and did a repeat freeze performance. I restarted mode safe and it works very well for days.

    I thought there must be something loading at normal startup is causing the problem, so I disabled everything I thought I could do without and restarted in Normal Mode. Once again the office poster for about 30 seconds and then frozen again. I tried to roll using recovery, charging display and BIOS drivers from the Toshiba site but continues to the situation.
    In SafeMode it never freezes up

    Any suggestions?

    Hey great. Happy to know that you have found the solution to this.
    Several times on this forum I write that it is not easy to give an answer or suggestion, what can be done. In any case thanks for the comments.

  • Satellite A300 - 1 5: keyboard and touchpad not working

    I have problem with keyboard and touchpad. Laptop satellite A300 - 1 5

    I have Vista home premium and when I turn on the computer, I put password in the user box then my keyboard and the touchpad do not work.

    In the Bios my keyboard work but when Vista starts it doesn't have.

    How to solve this problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, please check the status of the device in Device Manager.
    Please check if the keyboard and touchpad are listed correctly without any yellow exclamation point.

    But you should try to reinstall the drivers again, even if the keyboard and the touchpad have been recognized correctly.
    In this case I recommend to remove the keyboard and the touchpad Device Manager, and then you must restart the computer once more.

    After Vista has restarted the two devices should be recognized again and should work.

    Please check this!

  • After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

    I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

    I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
    thnx

    Hello

    You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

    Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
    But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
    Check it!
    Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

    I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
    To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
    In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

    But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

    Good luck and bye ;)

  • Satellite L300D-13s - black screen and nothing appears

    Hi, I have Toshiba Satellite L300D-13 s (pslc8e-02p013en).

    I turned off my laptop as usual and when trying to turn it back on yesterday, I have NO screen. I can here it whirring and all my lights are on, my battery is showing green (paying), but all I have is a black screen, no markers, imprecateurs, whatever it is?
    Have I somehow turned off the screen?

    I was in battery saving mode if it has nothing to do with it at all?

    PLEASE HELP - I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO TRY

    Thank you

    Hey,.

    Normally the battery saving mode (stand-by) has nothing to it. On my Satellite L300, it works correctly and I often use this mode.

    In any case, it would be interesting to know if you can see an image on an external monitor. The internal monitor FL inverter is may be defective and so it does not show an image... Who knows? ?:|

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.

    Hello

    Have you tried the option of HARD drive recovery?

    If this is not the case, try to set the notebook back to factory settings using HARD drive recovery.
    Turn on the device, press F12, choose repair my computer, then select Toshiba HDD recovery.

    I hope it will work!

    Hello!

    You need to install SATA drivers before you install Windows and if you have compatible SATA mode you t need SATA drivers but you have lost performance a bit.

    So I want to reinstall Windows in AHCI mode, you need to download the Toshiba Storage Manager (http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com).
    Copy the driver on an external floppy drive and press F6 after starting the laptop to CD or create your own installation with nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) disc.

  • Satellite A200-1CR - black screen and no boot

    Model:
    Toshiba Satellite A200-1CR

    Question:
    By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power LED lights up but still black screen (not even of lighting). The logo led 'Satellite' in the lower left corner of the chassis remains off while the HARD drive has made a unique quick snap; DVD activity led (the device) always remains on even without any CD inserted, by pressing the eject button do nothing (status bar is locked) and no sounds of activity.
    No logo screen of boot (show stays), not of beeps dark and wide, no DVD or HARD disk activity, keyboard seems does not (all combinations that should light up an led, capslock, numlock, etc, does nothing), the fan works.

    I have already (without success) tried:
    -Unlock the tray, insert the rescue CD and power on
    -Remove the main battery and power on with AC adapter only
    -Insert a bootable USB stick/external HARD drive

    The computer worked as expected the day before and there has not been any kind of shock. Described is the situation I faced when I turned on the next time (only 24 hours later).

    What could be wrong?
    Thank you.

    > By pressing the power button to power on the computer for a full boot, the power led turns on but screen stays black

    Well, looks like hardware problem; Maybe the memory problem or something serious with the mother or the CPU. It of really difficult to say what could cause this.
    You can try to check the RAM modules.
    Trying to start using a maybe only module, it is useful in the case otherwise I fear, you will need assistance from technicians Toshiba ASP m

    I realized that this was getting serious so I stopped using my computer to play games and I decided that I need to clean it. However, I was looking for online on how to clean up my computer and then my screen turns white!

    I didn't know what happened and was very scared.
    I turned off the computer.

    The next day I turned on the computer to see if it was good, and the screen was black however the laptop power light comes on and I hear the vents work.

    I turned on the computer and tried to start it again, and the computer started fine.
    The image appeared and the problems disappeared.
    But I knew that something bad was about to come so I took the laptop computer repair technician.

    I told her what happened.
    He has used the vacuum to "clean" the dust of the computer and told me to go back if the computer kept a overheating.

    I restarted the computer again when I came home, and after an hour and a half the computer screen turns white but I don't think that it overheated. : s

    I tried to start the computer and the screen is black, no picture, the only light on is the power one and I hear the vents work. I tried of transformed market but now it just stays as if it were now.

    I tried on another computer for solutions such as the battery and pressing the power button for 2 minutes and other things, but nothing has worked. I don't know what to do so I decided to create a thread to get answers: s

    Hello

    This does not sound very good boyfriend. I'm afraid that there could be some sort of dysfunction material Mr. something like the problems of graphics card or motherboard issue.

    You can try plugging the external monitor to the laptop just to see if something would be visible on 2nd screen.
    But if nothing will appear on the 2nd monitor, I think that the chip of the graphics card died :(

    Of course, this is just my personal opinion and a laptop computer technician must check the laptop to know what part of the laptop could be faulty.

    First and most importantly, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.
    If, for example, it's just something simple like a loose connection, this is an easy solution?

    Otherwise, no idea how much it would cost for a replacement?

    Secondly, I switch to a different keyboard layout.
    Anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?

    > First of all and above all, I suspect that the backlight may have gone in my laptop screen.

    Hmm. Maybe it's s inverter a FL. The FL inverter is a small part that controls the screen backlight
    Generally disassembly laptop procedure is very delicate and looks like you've never disassembled the laptop so I would not recommend to do anything which could damage the other parts get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help.
    Usually the FL inverter should not be expensive pieces but I have no idea on costs

    > Does anyone know where I can find a Belgian AZERTY keyboard for this laptop?
    and once again all spare parts can be ordered from local ASP.
