Satellite A305 - screen flashes during processing

Not sure if this is normal behavior, but I have a new Satellite A305.
From time to time so that he (initially), treats the entire black screen momentarily (as a quick glance) and then turn on again.

I've never had a laptop behave like that, except at the start, so don't know if this is normal behavior or the result of a problem.

It is not easy to give an answer to this, especially if it happens from time to time. What I can say is look at this problem and if you really think that frequently, contact the nearest service and ask for help.

What else to say about it?

  • Hi, my screen flashes during playback of movies from Netflix

    Hi, my screen flashes during playback of movies from Netflix. It happens with other applications or when I play DVD. It begins in about 5 seconds in movies and it happens about every 4-5 seconds. The screen turns white for about a second, then it shows some horizontal lines, and it goes back to normal. And after a few seconds, he begins anew. I also noticed it always happen when I move my mouse during playback of a movie at Netflix.

    Figured out. Change refresh rate of 60 Hz 40 Hz p p and it solved the problem.

  • Satellite M300 - screen flashes white

    Toshiba Satellite M300 on 18 months old (using Windows 7). Display has had intermittent problems. Screen flashes to a white screen. Now if the lid is moved while he was working, "white" screen completely and returns to normal when returned to 'the sweet spot '!

    Have not yet tried another monitor. Driver is up-to-date. Assuming that maybe it's a "bad connection". Use turned off with the closure of the lid that changed tonight.

    Any ideas? :)

    Hi KezRev,

    Theoretically, it could be a problem of connecting cable or internal problem display but you should test another monitor first. Just connect an external monitor to check the image here.

    If the external monitor works properly it s the LCD cable internal or visualize a malfunction. So, contact a service provider and allow technicians to check your laptop. They can fix this problem and order new parts. :)

    Hello
    I have a toshiba A100, Go 7600 Gpu, just bought there is two weeks and im very pleased with the quality and performance far :), just noticed one thing today, the room was turned off and the laptop turns off with the screen in open position, I leave it open normally when at home, I noticed that the screen flashes as fixed every 1 min in what appears to be an interval of time with or without AC connected, not a flash very bright but not easy to notice, but I'm sure the flash, so my question is should I worry about this? Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    What do you mean with the screen? The LCD internal? Maybe you didn t stop the machine itself.

    I also suggest you update your bios and your drivers, maybe it s just a software related issue...

    Here´s a link to find the bios and latest drivers for your computer:

  • Satellite L505 - screen flashing, but another screen works

    I have a problem with my laptop, the screen starts flashing black. I still can't see what normally it stops when I open the screen to the angle_ of _maximum or when I apply pressure above the power bar on the round screen hinge in the middle of this one I used for my laptop includes it is sometimes screen_ sometimes so I would like to know what is the cause of the problem.

    I have excluded the VGA laptop works because normally if I connect another screen, so it is with the backlight of the screen, LCD or some cables or connectors or the inverter is - anyone have any idea?

    Please help and reply soon

    Hi danysafi,

    You're right: the problem is since the screen backlight, LCD or cable LCD but who should we check this without diagnostic tools?

    With other words in this case you need help from an authorized service provider because they have diagnostic tools to check the special hardware. In my opinion that's the easier and faster way, if your laptop is under warranty, the repair is free.

    Last but not least, you can find a list of all FSA official website of Toshiba. :)

  • Satellite A120 - screen flashes Intel logo then dies

    As I said in the question and I know that the laptop itself is running because once started it's the sounds of the connection. My os is ubuntu, if that helps.

    No matter what people thought?

    Hello

    According to the information which you may I ask if you have connected to an external monitor? So, theoretically, you should see a picture on it.

    If the external monitor works, you can order a new internal monitor to an authorized service. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of them.

  • Satellite A305-S6825 - HARD drive light flashing sometimes

    I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825, I bought in April. 250 GB and 3 GB of Ram.

    I notiice sometimes, when I'm not working on what the hard drive light flashes for a while. Is this normal?

    I have not checked all programs (I think) to a setting with automatic and/or scanning, etc.

    Are there any programs that are running in Vista Premium without me using the working on the laptop?

    I hope that the laptop is not broken.

    Alice
    U.S..

    The laptop is certainly not broken. The same thing happens with my two laptops from Toshiba.
    In the background, several processes are active and it is possible that antivirus checks or scans the HARD drive.
    Maybe some updates are installed at the moment. It can be anything.

    In any case, don't worry about it. Everything is OK.

  • Screen flashing in Satellite L500D

    Welcome!

    I have a laptop Toshiba L500D. For about two weeks, something is happening with my laptop. Laptop is turned on and when I open the lid, or closed, the screen flashes, change colors, you can see the different bands in black and white or in color, usually the screen is distorted.

    This happens when the cover is at an angle from 0 to 90 degrees, when there is more than 90 degrees, then it is not the case.

    Probably something not going under the screen of the laptop on the hinges. Only way out is a service?

    It is a film in which this problem is presented.

    Hello

    Yes, I agree with you that there may be a problem with the connection.
    But it of not possible to say exactly what's wrong.
    It may be something wrong with the sensor that turns the backlight on and off, or maybe something wrong with one cable

    There is no other choice for that pick up if the guarantee is available (it should be valid 2 years long if the laptop has been saved) then should be set the laptop for free.

    Good luck

  • Connection problems Hotmail account on Satellite A305-S6909

    I experienced a problem connecting to Hotmail using IE8 on my Toshiba laptop. I posted this problem for Windows Live and my anti-virus. The two parties have not solved the problem after 2 months. The issue started around November 20, 2009. I think it may be related to a security upgrade or CrashFree upgrade.

    Information on the basis of the problem:

    When you sign in on Hotmail on IE8, I firstly have a message that my password is incorrect. If I try to log in again, I get the login screen (no message). If I choose the enhanced security Option, my browser allows to browse several blank screens before expiring. The site of hotmail then sends a message that the site is down, etc. Also, I can connect in the rest of the Windows Live, including MSN.com. When I connect to MSN.com, I can see the sidebar that shows the last 5 emails on my hotmail account. I just can't access these emails. I have no problem with any other website.

    Where this problem does not -

    1. this problem does not exist when you use FireFox.
    2. in Safe Mode with networking, this problem does not occur on IE8.

    Attempts at a solution-

    1. I worked with my anti-virus software tech support to confirm that hotmail is not blocked by the firewall. I have confirmed that it is not a virus affecting the program.
    2. with the Windows Live team, I went through the entire process of clearing cache, flushing the dns, restoration... I reloaded even IE8 on my system.
    3 Windows Live suggested that I use Fiddler Cap in order to acquire more information. This program generates an error when I try to run it. However, it works when I run it in Mode without failure.

    Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A305-S6909
    OS: Vista 64-bit
    Browser: Internet Explorer 8 (32-bit)

    Hello

    I don t use Hotmail but it is really strange. In my opinion, it has something to do with the settings of Internet Explorer, because everything does work with Firefox. Theoretically, this means that nothing is blocking your connection and AntiVirus/firewall doesn't block these connections in Hotmail.

    In the Internet Explorer options, you have different areas, like trusted sites, restricted sites, etc.. In your case, I would like to add MSN page you need to trusted sites.
    In addition block you / allow Cookies of some Web pages. Make sure that Cookies are not blocked.

    All that s what I can tell and the time and I hope that I could help you! :)

  • Satellite A305-S6829 I would like to disable the touchpad

    I recently updated my laptop A305-S6829 of Windows Vista to Windows 7. I use a laptop mouse and I want to disable the touchpad.

    Unfortunately, the touchpad does not appear on my device manager and FN + F9 does not work either.

    Please help me. Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all; It is a model of laptop series Toshiba us.
    Usually, it takes use drivers from this page:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

    But it seems that Win 7 drivers are not published on this page for Satellite A305-S6829
    That's why I think that you could choose the page European driver of Toshiba touchpad drivers. Here you can choose the A305 or A300 series.
    I think you could also choose other touchpad Win 7 drivers to the most recent series of laptop.
    Please install the drivers for the touchpad and check if the FN + F9 key would work.

    Note! If no FN key doesn't work, you need to install VAP (value added package) and Support of Flash Card Utility

  • Satellite A305 - error message keep appearing from

    Hello, I have a Satellite A305-S6857 laptop
    A few days ago to XP downgrade Vista. It worked well but suddenly yesterday when I restart windows,.

    * the system has recovered from a mistake of the serosa

    A log of this error has been created

    For more information about this error, click here * so I clicked and it said

    error signature
    BCCode: 1000007e BCP1: C0000005 BCP2: BA430F76 BCP3: BA513C94
    BCP4: BA513990 OSVer: 5_1_2600 SP: 3_0 product: 256_1

    So I simply ignored, did cancel but it keep poping up and I made reports but it did not work either.
    So I restart again but still the same. Every time I have restart this pop-up.

    So I googled on this topic and I've done something and I think after I did uninstall and reinstall a driver GMA an another error message too. It says * the Publisher could not be verified. are you sure you want to run this software? * and I say yes, he shows me another one same thing 3times.

    It's really annoying and after that I got a few messages pop up, my computer has become slow and sometimes it stopped

    help me guys...

    > He says that the Publisher could not be verified. are you sure you want to run this software?
    Maybe something wrong with the graphics card driver or other software which is not certified by Microsoft

    Did you use some third-party software, tools and 3rd applications?
    Have you installed the drivers from Toshiba or other websites of third 3rd page?

    Check the msconfig-> Start up tab and take a look at the list of background processes.
    If there are some applications that are not known to you, then turn it off.

    In the worst cases, you need to reinstall the OS.

  • Cannot get my Satellite A305-s6857 to start

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A305-s6857. When I push the power button the power light turns on, then I hear a click may not know the fan and cdrom light is lit in orange, no display on the screen; nothing else happens. And then the power turns off.

    I suspect there is something wrong with the BIOS, but I'm not sure. Please someone knows how can I do to fix this?

    Hello

    To me, it looks like a serious hardware problem
    I think that as a first step, the RAM should be checked
    You should try to switch on the laptop using that one module in different locations

    If this will not help, then another part may be affected. CPU, motherboard, etc.
    In most cases it of not possible to say what role could be faulty

    Generally, a hardware diagnostic test must be done to get the details on the problem
    In m opinion that a technician should be contacted if your warranty is valid, then everything should be done free fro
