Satellite A500-11U - bars on the screen

• Satellite A500 - nothing appears on the screen of laptop

  My laptop is a Satellite A500 and I had for about a year and a half, he has never dropped or slammed, and up to this point, it worked correctly, most of the time.

  One night, I unplugged and turned it off and the next morning, the display would not work. There was no flicker and the display had never before gone so far here. Curiously, some of the LEDs on the laptop keyboard area stopped work as well, such as the light touch pad, the volume key, etc..
  However, the webcam and power/network lights still work. In addition to these problems, everything still works and I can still use an external monitor, such as a monitor.

  Based on these details, does anyone have an idea as to what is the problem? Or how I should go about fixing it?

  If there is no reaction on the screen there must be a problem with the LCD connection to the motherboard.

  Without accurate diagnosis, it is not easy to say exactly, what may be defective. Fact is that all these symptoms say there must be a hardware problem and you should clear it with Toshiba service.

  Warranty is still valid?

• Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen.

  Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen, sometimes flashing. It is sometimes difficult to use the screen, especially when it has a dark background. It is a HP Desktop quad core with card Nvidia GEForce 9600.  I tried to roll back the driver, but that didn't help. I assume that the driver I need is no longer available. I also went to Nvidia to try to find a better driver that would eliminate this problem, but no luck.  Before, this came with an update on Vista, & I could correct in the way to roll back the driver. Any help would be appreciated.

  Go to www.nvidia.com and download the WHQL 306,97 drivers updated successfully.

  With the installation of Windows 8, Microsoft provides only the "bare" minimum drivers in order to complete the installation of Windows.

  Hi Emma,

  Have you checked under Applications > Adobe Creative Cloud.

  There should be a shortcut if the installation went well.

• Satellite A500-1F7 - after Toshiba logo screen turns off completely

  Hello! C:

  Does not start my Satellite A500-1F7 up more - when I try to turn it on, the Toshiba logo appears, but a few seconds later, the screen is completely blank. If I press F2, while the logo is displayed on the screen, the Setup menu opens. F12 also works well.

  At first I thought that my computer laptop just needs a battery new, since she had been asking me to change it for a while and directed by the battery was out. Now I got a new battery - still does not work.
  If anyone has an idea, what could be the reason or what I could do to fix it please help me!
  Unfortunately, I'm a total noob to computer.

  Thank you for taking the time to read all this!

  Oh my god!
  * Update: * the suddenly turned on CPU fan, so I decided to wait and see. After about an hour, a loading bar and "© Microsoft Corporation" appeared on the screen. Also, my laptop is making noises Eman cry very acute. And now, another 37 minutes later, it seems to be back to normal.
  * PATIENCE DID THE TRICK! *

• Satellite A500 - crackling sounds and blue screen

  Hey everybody.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19w about 4 days ago (today it is Sunday, March 7, 2010).

  I had the sounds of crackling of my speakers which have been mentioned so many times in the forums, no real solution.
  I also experienced the crash of the blue screen, that's already happened 7 times while I was not strongly using my newly buy laptop.
  I'm not looking for a repair or a replacement, because I find it quite unacceptable to have to think about the errors, faults & fixes as much as the laptop is brand new.

  What I want is a refund, but I'm not sure on how to do it.

  I know that Toshiba has some sort of refund policy, but if someone can tell me exactly how it works, because I want to get rid of my laptop as soon as possible (I will not buy any more portable Toshiba, especially since I had some similar problems with my Qosmio f30).
  If someone can give me some guidance, because I don't want to be mocked or used and cheated out of refund.
  I bought my Toshiba in the Middle East (perhaps refund policies are different here).
  Thank you.

  Hi mihran.

  If you want to pay off your laptop, you should talk with your computer store where you bought it. Only the can repay your laptop and not Toshiba directly.
  Of course it is also depending on the country where you life, but normally you can pay within 14 days I think. So in your case I speak with the seller or give them a call. They explain how to do this.

  But let me give you a little advice: regarding your problems with the crackling sound and blue screen I recommend that you contact an authorized service provider or ask a new A500 (this should be possible if you have only 4 days). Generally, I can say that a friend of mine has Satellite A500 and he is quite satisfied with her. This laptop has a great design equipped with new material for a good price. :)

• Re: Satellite A500-1 - slow after blue screen

  Hi all

  I've owned a Satellite A500-1 in a year with no problems at all until a few days ago. When it tuning on it gave me a blue screen of death, and after 10 seconds, it turned blue, so I couldn't read error.

  I noticed reduced performance since it happened. Especially when you play games or movies HD, the picture and sound will freeze every few seconds. This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.

  I scanned the hard drive and memory errors, but it wasn't everything. Cant someone give me some advice, please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.
  This would mean that the problem is hardware-related and operating system installation seems to be ok, but it could be anything and it s is not easy to say what part is affected.

  Some parts, you can check yourself like RAM and HARD drive.

  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  http://Memtest86.com/
  Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
  It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.

  If both tests cannot find an error, it must be another problem as the motherboard or the CPU. For such a diagnosis, you must contact an authorized service provider. They can help you get rid of this problem. You can find a complete list of the guys here:

• Satellite A500 - how to reinstall the original Windows 7?

  Hello

  I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500-19U and Windows 7. I tried to create a new partition, then I've done assets so he hid, after restarting the laptop, I had a black screen and massage (bootmgr is missing)

  So I installed another copy of Windows 7 just to connect to my computer. Then after the copy of Windows 7 installation I made inactive D if it appeared there is file recovery. So my question is: as long as I have this file I want to reinstall the original Windows 7 I have in the drive hard, but how?

  When I press F and repair, then it does not give the last option of HARD drive recovery! Why and I have the recovery file?

  Please help me

  Hello

  I guess you didn't read the manual user, first of all. I m right? ;)

  Well, normally HARD drive recovery you can start if you go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. After that, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.

  But I guess that this isn't possible anymore because you have installed another copy of Windows 7. If this menu isn't available anymore.

  The only option to restore factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Did you create it? This can be through with preinstalled creative drive recovery Toshiba but if you didn t create it, it s too late now, too.

  The only option now is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly. So take a look in your user manual.

• Strange problem code 39 on my Satellite A500-02J with constant blue screens

  I bought my Toshiba Satellite A500-02J 2-3 months ago and I opened my laptop this morning and I was not connected to the internet and had no installed audio device.

  Then I got a blue screen of death. I restarted my laptop and I went to the Device Manager to see that most of my drivers had the yellow exclamation mark with the super Code 39 error (windows didn't start my drivers for X reason...) and then I had a second blue screen. I was very careful from the beginning with this laptop and I know that this is not a virus since a did not something 'weird' with this computer. Best of all, it's that my USB ports no longer works and I can not backup my stuff important just in case...

  Thank you for helping me,
  Odin

  Hi Odin

  It is not easy to say why this happens, but if there are so many problems, I advise you to install the new OS by using the HDD recovery procedure.
  Try to start your computer in safe mode and delete all data on the second partition.
  Start your laptop with F8 install OS using these instructions - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  When you install the operating system by using this method of HARD drive recovery all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted.

• Satellite A500 - switch WLAN and the FN keys does not turn the wireless

  I have currently problems try to activate the connection Wireless on my laptop. My laptop model is a satellite A500 PSAR9A O2J001. My laptop's physical wireless switch does not work and neither my Fn keys don't work (none of my function keys work not at all). It was awhile I saw an orange light next to my mobile switch indicating it was on, but one day, it's just off. Since then, I was not able to reactivate it after a lot of searching on Google, and this place is my last resort after doing so many things.

  Any help or comments would be appreciated, I am very desperate to solve this problem for studies.

  Your description is OK but rather general isn't easy to say with certainty what the problem is here.
  Is the card properly installed wireless (Device Manager)?
  FN keys work in general? You can use other keys FN + Fx? You see flash cards when you press the FN key? If so what options you see when you use FN + F8 (WLAN I think)?

  When you move position WLAN communication works and use the FN + F8 to what exactly happens?

• Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

  I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

  Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

  I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

  My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

  Hello

  I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
  This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
  As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

• Satellite A500-138 - warmer on the left side of the touchpad

  Got a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 and it get hot in the left side of the touch pad.

  Can some help me?

  Hi atmo.

  Well, I think that some some areas on the laptop are always a bit warmer than other regions. I think that it s according to the hardware parts where is the cooling module and find CPU, graphics card, and chipset.

  You have problems? She is turned off without warning?

  What you can do is try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans:

• Satellite A500-025 - improvements of the new version of BIOS

  I did an update of the bios on my Satellite A500-025. I had a version 1.2 and 1.5 BIOS update BIOS.

  Anyone know what that improvements and is it advisable to always do a BIOS update when a new one comes out?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Normally the changelog of the BIOS is placed on the Toshiba laptop, but if you can t find it, unfortunately there is no available changelog.
  By the way: I noticed that the BIOS changelogs are often placed on the Toshiba page we. Maybe you can find it there.

  And this update should be carried out only if it of really necessary. If you n t have any problems, to forget about this update.
  Never touch a running system! ;)
