• Satellite A300D-15B webcam does not - black screen

  Hi, I would appreciate the help. I have a new L300D-15 ter and we have problems with the webcam. It's less than a week. We use MSN a lot and noticed that sometimes the webcam has become black while on a video call - when I say black you could see us like shadows of contour. Once we waved our hands on the webcam and it seemed to come back to life, but othertimes we had to stop the video call and re - call to retrieve the image of the webcam.

  We phoned to Toshiba and reinstalled the driver but it seems to have done worse. When we opened the independent software for the cam us are visible for a second and then black. We tried on MSN it happened once but we could clearly be seen after a few seconds, and he remained on for the duration of our short call. This has happened on and off on the power supply.

  Some ideas would be appreciated.

  Have you tried looking at its properties?

  There are options here, you can activate night mode so you can see yourself when you use your camera.

  hope this will help... :)

  Hey,.

  If the webcam shows just a blank screen, I could imagine it's just a setting incorrect webcam.

  On the Web from Toshiba site, I found a helpful article that I think:

• Satellite P205-S6337 - blue screen and the black screen with the display driver

  Hello
  It is my first time here, so let me know if I did something wrong in the post or something of the sort.

  Info:
  Toshiba Satellite P205-S6337
  Windows OS: Win XP Pro SP3 x 86 (x 32)
  BIOS version: 1.40
  RAM: 2 GB
  CPU: Intel Core2 T5300-1.73 GHz, 1.73 GHz (Dual Core)

  At the beginning I was watching a video on my laptop with Media Player Classic, I made an update of windows, after I did the update and rebooted my computer I tried to re - open the video with Media Player Classic, then once I did it kept freezing, then gives me a BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death) saying :
  'igxprd3 '.
  Beginning physical memory dump
  memory dump complete physics. »

  So I kept getting that whenever I tried to watch a movie, so I thought it was due to the update of windows, because it is is not the first time that the updates on their part messed up everything. So I reformatted and once he was done after I install all the driver I want to restart my computer, once Windows is started almost entirely the screen begins to bog down then finally go completely black, the computer seems to work very well once he does, but just no screen, so I went in SafeMode (F8) and would be either disable or uninstall the video After that it would be fine, just that it does not use the video card and all current graphic stuff are bogged down and looks bad and I installed versions older and more recent video card and it always does.

  Since I'm more savy with desktop and never loved laptop a lot, but what I've tried and what not it just seems that the video card is out. I even tried it blow and ensuring that everything is in place, but I hope I'm wrong and he is not out, if so, is there a way to put a new or add another external any?

  The only thing I could think about maybe trying to update the BIOS, but I never had no problem BIOS with any thing with that I'm not kidding, and never a update BIOS since Ive never liked to play with her.

  Hello

  In General, change the graphics card is not possible because the graphics card is attached to the motherboard. In this case the entire motherboard must be replaced and an authorized service provider can ask for help.

  A point would be interesting: you can install Windows Toshiba Recovery disk? I ask this question because it would be interesting to know what is happening with the factory settings. And you can determine if this hardware or software problem.

• Re: Satellite L500-19 X - screen keeps going black

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 19 X and continues to go to the black screen.

  When you start the computer it flashes briefly until start / Boot screen properly before going black right now. Sometimes, the image is displayed correctly for 3 or 4 minutes before also black.

  If you hold down / tilt the screen under a strong light you can see a preview of the ghost of what should be displayed and if you connect an external monitor to the external monitor works fine and you can see a black ghost of what is on the external monitor on the laptop screen.

  I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it had no effect.

  Do you think I should replace the screen inverter Board or just reconnect the connectors screen?

  Thank you very much for your advice.
  Concerning

  Al

  Hello

  First to solve this problem, you must disassemble the laptop.
  I put t know exactly the procedure step by step for the L500 series but this procedure isn't very easy disassembly and you could damage other parts.

  Back to the question.
  It seems that the graphics card is OK and the problem is with lighting.
  Satellite L500 was equipped with a FL inverter Board and LCD joint (no backlight).
  The FL inverter controls the level of backlight screen s and I think that in your case, this part is defective.
  To resolve this problem, he needed to remove and replace the s FL inverter.

• Satellite A100-003 - flickering screen then shows black alone

  My Toshiba has been flashed with the latest available v6.00 BIOS and has a geforce go 7600 gpu.
  About 2 weeks ago the screen started to Flash and loud gray lines have appeared, momentarily, in the days that the problem has increased in frequency and the screen shows black only, but the backlight is turned on.

  If the LCD screen stays off for a few hours it works again, but after awhile the same behavior occurs. More I connected to an external monitor and everything works fine. Any ideas?
  Also I would ask, in case I have to change the screen LCD which is currently (15.4 @ 1280 x 800) would be possible to replace it with a higher resolution as we shape the Tecra line (15.4 @ 1680 x 1050)?

  Hello

  > Also I connected to an external monitor and everything works fine. Any ideas?
  This would mean that the graphics card is ok and the problem is caused by another party. Otherwise, the external monitor would show the same behavior

  If the following parts likely to be affected:
  Cable - LCD
  UPS - FL
  -LCD itself

  If another LCD would be difficult to say because only a technician of the laptop can give you 100% sure answer but is important s has the same size of screen (15.4) and the same type of connector. A higher resolution might work, but there is no guarantee in this regard.

  So before doing something wrong ask a technician for assistance if laptop screen would be compatible.

  My webcam does not work after upgrade to Windows 7. I installed the drivers but still having no luck

  Hey Buddy,

  What does it mean exactly when you say he won t work?
  You get an error message or only a black image? What model of laptop you have and that you use the Toshiba Windows 7 upgrade kit or a disc of Microsoft?

  At this moment I can only offers to install latest driver of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba. Make sure that this driver is released for Windows 7 and not Vista.

• Re: Failed to start General on the Satellite A300D-158

  Sorry for my language, but that little bit difficult for me.
  After 2 years of using this cooler model and drive hard breaks down because of overheating. Generally, the system worked. After disassembly and replacement of cooler, I got new problem - system is not starting at all. Power and battery LED always indicates "supported", all caps to the motherboard are properly placed, graphics card connected correctly, too.
  After putting in the work of the indication for a few seconds, cooler rotation begins, but screen remains black and after a few seconds system stops.

  What can be graphics or Mo? Please advice.

  Who knows what you are doing... Again, check well all if all cables connected correctly.

  > After work indication start for a few seconds, cooler rotation, but screen remains black and after a few seconds system shutdown
  > down. What can be graphics or Mo? Please advice.

  If it's a problem of graphics card, the laptop is remained working with white screen. But in your case, it works for a few seconds and stops.

  > After disassembly and replacement of cooler

  Check if the Cpu is mounted well, I think it's a troublemaker. Replacing the fan could touch.

• Re: Need HEX BIOS file for my Satellite A300D-158 (PSAKCE-00Q00MRV)

  I tried to update the bios, but all crushed. I find the BIOS for A300D files official website (file BD3G3A46. WPH). But this isn't HEX file. It uses by WinPhlash.exe for Exchange of firmware.

  But I want BIOS chip programming by the authoring tool.
  Please tell me who could give me HEX the BIOS file.

  Who I could ask this file?
  Thank you.

  In my opinion that one people who work by Toshiba can help service providers.
  Try contacting the closest service provider of Toshiba, to explain the situation and ask for help.

• Satellite A300D-158 (AMD ZM-80) - internal temperature of 70 - 80 c

  The NB was bought a few months ago, and these days begin to stop from time to time. Not to sleep or cut the words but just nearby. Whenever he is in a State of rest. I suggested what I due to overheating. First I remove dust from the processor fan grig. Then I begin to observe that enough space will belong and near CPU cooling unit.
  Cases outside parties. But in comparison with my second NB which is a non-Toshiba machine with Intel Centrino 2 2.4 GHz, the Satellite is much warmer.

  I installed all new drivers, including the BIOS.

  I installed CoreTemp utility that shows 60-70 ° C temperature of charge now to 25-35% CPU and up to 80 ° c at 50% load. And even rarely 87 C.

  The running application is Photoshop and in parallel a film in the Mozilla Firefox browser... A few months ago, I made a DVD on this NB within two hours without any overheat shutdown. But no charge is miserable.

  That is what it is? I'm starting to regret, I chose Toshiba and at least AMD CPUS.

  Hello

  I use Satellite P200D AMD CPU and also an A300 but with Intel Core 2 T8100 processor. I just positive experience with AMD on Satellite P200 processor.

  Your laptop is placed correctly on the desktop?
  The temperature in my opinion is not critical but shut offs are really bad sign.
  Can you please try to follow: square back of your laptop on CD two boxes to make a slightly higher rear? I hope that the laptop will be able to take a breath. Please post the results.
  These two applications running should not be a problem for this model of laptop.

  If you really think that this question may be critical for your laptop computer, contact the nearest service provider and ask for advice. The laptop has guaranteed valid and if something is not there, they will halp you.

• Satellite A300D - 16 c - screen keeps flickering.

  My laptop screen randomly starts blinking. I have sent back to be fixed a couple of times, it works fine day fo ra or two and then starts flashing again.
  It's really frustrating because any position I put the screen in it sparkles... HELP Please!

  Hello jadakiss

  Sorry to hear you have this flickering problem and I believe you when you say it's frustrating.
  How to help? Good question.

  As you know you cannot do much with your laptop. Impossible to take apart and try to fix something and, as end-users, we have no possibility to do much. What we can do is to test the operation of the equipment with the own operating system preinstalled. All that s.

  So I'm afraid that you must try to contact the service again and talk with them about Mr. ask what they did to solve this problem. Ask if anything exchanged or not.

• Want to replace Vista on Satellite A300D-158

  In time of every day!

  Bought this laptop a year ago, fed up with Vista, I decided to change the Windows, but there were a lot of questions...

  (1) what Windows best place instead of Vista? XP? Seven?

  (2) on the website of the manufacturer

  HERE

  For Windows 7-64 bit is lined with 10 pilots... There is enough of that?
  For Windows XP 32 drivers lined... and which of them waving if you choose 64-bit XP?

  (3) and where the windows download, set and forget, without registration, activation, and limited periods of work?

  Many thanks to those who respond

  1
  In my opinion these new laptops like your one can work perfectly with Windows 7 and I think you should take a step forward and not backward.

  2
  Unfortunately the Win7 drivers aren't available for your laptop model, yet, and it will be difficult to install a clean operating system.
  WXP 64 bit is not supported by this model of laptop

  3
  Windows is not downloadable. If you want to use the operating system without registration, limitation or activation, you must use OS you have with your laptop.

  In my opinion the best solution for you is order Toshiba Win7 upgrade kit, so you can upgrade Vista preinstalled to Win7 no problem. This updated version should not be enabled, and you can use it without registration or restrictions.
