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

Welcome them

    Hello

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    Try to use the following method to see if you can install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.

  • Satellite A105-S4114 - black screen, maybe the heating problem?

    Hey all

    I'm new to the Board and I really hope that someone can help me with my computer problems.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4114. In the last week or so, it started to get a black screen. If I m in the middle of watching a video, the sound would just go to a repetitive tone (very annoying sound) and the screen freezes completely.

    He sometimes goes to a black screen. The screen is not black as if the CPU is off but it's dark and nothing is displayed. This occurs when the computer has been for a little. I have had it over 2 hours now, and if this problem persists, it will happen more frequently. I've updated all the software and windows xp. Some people tell me that my motherboard is dying and I can't do anything, but some people say maybe it's an overheating problem.

    The vent on the left hand does not always give off light, but the laptop gets hot enough. Is it possible that my fan is dying? In the case of this "black screen", the computer is not power down and for this reason, I ve people had told me that he is not an overheating problem.

    Any ideas?

    Help, please. I sprayed the CPU down to the dust, and it has gotten a little better. I hold hope that I don't need to buy a replacement right away. I've had this for about 3 years.

    Thank you, Danny.

    Hey mate,

    I think that for the moment no one can really say what the reason, but I also think it might be an overheating problem and you should start cleaning your laptop first. The point is that if the laptop is overheated (e. g. graphics card), you might get a black screen, freezes or your laptop stops immediately. So if please try to clean and follow these instructions: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

    Of course it could also be a motherboard problem but the laptop cleaning is cheaper and quicker ;)

    If it doesn t work you can access a service provider authorized professional assistance.

  • 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 A300 - system still works, but the screen is blank

    Hello

    I was downloading an update of tempro toshiba (synco or something in that sense) for my laptop Satellite A300 and the frozen screen. I pressed the power button for 5-10 seconds until it is turned off. When I turned it the system seemed to work but the screen is completely black.

    I tried to remove the battery, and fn + F5 but the screen still won't turn on.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Rob.

    Hello

    It happened because of the updated BIOS, or during the common software update?
    In case it was an update of the BIOS I recommend contact the ASP in your country, because it seems that the ROM module must be flashed again.

    If it happened during a common software update, so I advise to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check to see if you could power the laptop properly!

    Check it out!

  • Satellite C650 - black screen but the laptop is running

    A week ago I leave my laptop on charge all night. When I tried to turn on the morning you could hear the laptop to work but the screen was 'black', the loading screen was not visible.

    I don't use the laptop for a few days, thinking that he has beaten and when I turned on the laptop screen started loading upward. However, a few days later, when using my laptop for a fair bit of time, the screen started to Flash and then 3/4 of the screen went black. I always thought of my office in the rest of 1/4 of the screen.

    It is then resolved itself, but to be on the safe side, I close the bottom removed the battery, and now I'm running the mobile sector. So far no problem.

    Anyone know what could be the cause of the problem? I think it could be due to overheating, but I'm not sure, when I took it to PC world, the 1st time, the problem arose, the tech guy said that maybe my motherboard was gone and should probably replace.

    On this virtual path, we can only speculate what the problem maybe, but if guys tech says a word perhaps even though he was not 100% sure why this happens.

    These questions must be considered by the service and diagnostic tools. As long as it works correctly, it's OK.
    How old is your laptop? Warranty is still valid?

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

    Hello
    I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

    My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
    I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

    If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

    Check this box!

  • HP 17-g121wm: goes black screen, but the computer still running (Linux)

    I use HP 17-g121wm laptop. The screen turns off at random 2-5 minutes after the start, sometimes earlier. The computer will still run, but the screen will be black (the backlight seems to stay lit, however). Any buttons I press on, nothing makes the screen back on, so I have to press the power button to turn off the laptop and back on.

    This problem does not occur when I start in Windows, but when I boot in Linux (I tried Ubuntu and Arch linux), the problem persists.

    I tried to boot with the kernel parameter 'nomodeset' grub, but when I do that I can't enter a graphical environment, because the amdgpu driver is based on Kernel Mode Set (KMS) without nomodeset.

    I prefer to use Linux on this laptop for programming and development, preferably of Arch Linux. So, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    jreynaud1

    I run Linux distributions on my desktop PC and from your description, the problem is almost certainly the lack of video drivers, especially in the case of the AMD video chipsets.

    I'm not familiar with the Ark, but I don't know with Ubuntu, which I had problems driver AMD for several versions now, and the last, Xenial 16.04, fglrx drivers simply will NOT work because they are not supported with the new version of the kernel and will not be - as AMD is working on a new driver open source to replace fglrx.

    HP forums provides no support for Linux issues, if my suggestion is to check with the forums Linux appropriate for each distribution.

    In addition, as you use a video chipset AMD, you might find the info you need on the Phoronix forums: AMD/ATI Linux - Phoronix Forums

    Good luck

  • Satellite A215-S6804 - black screen until the system load

    Hello

    I have a problem with the laptop of the subject. After pressing the power button / stop, the screen is black until the Vista/Linux loading bar (got both installed) is visible. I have the most recent BIOS update and replace the LCD (but electronics as UPS etc are old screen, the seller told me).

    The only way it works great (so I can see the Toshiba logo and the menu grub) is when I put the flat LCD on table (I know it sound funny).

    Does anyone have a solution for this weird thing? I tried looking for answers, but found nothing.

    Hey,.

    And if you connect an external display you can see the screen of the Toshiba BIOS or is it always black? That would check whether the problem is related to the internal monitor or a part of the mother/graphics card.

    If you try to enter in the setup of the BIOS is also this work?

    But if it works when you place the LCD flat on the table, it seems that it has something to do with internal LCD cable. I think it needs to be replaced due to a bad connection.

  • Satellite A45-S150 - black screen after the recovery process

    After problems with a virus, I ran the recovery disk and reformat the hard drive and reloaded the OS. When the process pushes me to remove the disc, it begins to restart, but only shows a black screen. I restart the process of recovery only with the same results.

    The laptop came loaded with XP, but that the recovery Application is running, it says it is loading Windows 98. Could the original recovery disc was loaded with the wrong operating system?

    What's next?

    Hey,.

    > I restart the process of recovery only with the same results.
    You can install Windows using a normal Microsoft Windows disk?
    So, you can check if the problem is related to the computer laptop or recovery disk itself.

    > it says that it is loading Windows 98
    Don t worry not about this message. As far as I know it has something to do with the software that allows you to copy the recovery image on your HARD drive. Recovery disk still contains Windows XP ;)

  • iPhone 5s does not have black screen, but the phone is still on

    So I have a very strange problem that I couldn't really get on Google.

    My iPhone doesn't come 5, after going to sleep, using the power button (my home button does not work). It will randomly start being sensitive, sometimes after 10 minutes, sometimes after a few hours.

    By trial and error, I realized that cool the phone seemed to work fairly regularly (but not 100%), but now this method no longer works.

    I'm sure that the phone is still because when I call, he goes not to the "the number you have called is not available at this time" response, it sounds just normally, but the phone does nothing.

    However, connecting to a PC is the PC not recognizing anything plugged and that the phone itself does not seem to charge.

    When he "wakes" it is as if I just plugged it and shows me the lock screen and everything is normal.

    Thanks in advance for your time

    By reading your post I was stuck on hardware failure, perhaps the LCD screen or logic board and then you wrote this. Please you elaberate on what you mean by "it is as if I just hooked it up". Actually connect? Does it make the chimes as you he plugged in even if you don't have?

  • Black screen when the VM from the host that has been moved to Windows 7

    VMware Workstation 7.1.3 build 324285 works fine on my old XP machine.  Work gave me a windows system 7. Installed VMware Workstation, copying the VM to Win 7 files.  VM starts but don't have just a black screen, no display.

    Creating a new virtual machine on Windows 7 host works for a day or two, start it with the black screen.  Don't think I'm the only one having this problem but I could not find and specific solutions.  Any help or ideas would be great.

    What I've done so far:

    Ensure that all VMware services run.

    Digitized newspapers.  Host ACPI: unable to find TARS, the host: SRAT table not found in memory

    Do not know if SRAT is a problem or not.

  • Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in background

    Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)

    Hello

    I would appreciate your help with the following problem:

    SYMPTOMS: The screen is black, but I see that there is a faint image in background.
    I get a good picture in the external monitor.

    I suspect, _among others_, there may be a faulty * cover sensor / switch *, but I have been unable to locate him, although I have disassembled the unit.

    If anyone knows, please let me have the exact * location * where I should look for the switch.
    Thank you

    > I think, among other things, that there may be a faulty lid switch/sensor

    No, I do not think that its sensor problem.
    I guess that the FL inverter is faulty.

    The FL inverter controls the backlight of the LCD display module.
    Therefore, this part should be checked and if necessary, it must be replaced.
