Satellite A500 - 14 k black screen internal - external monitor is ok

Hello

I have some problems with my computer screen laptop toshiba satellite A500 - 14 k (p / n: PSAM3E - 02Q008FR)

Initially, the display on the screen was blurry and not stable. I had to tilt the screen to get a picture.
But recently, I have no display at all on the laptop screen.

However, the display is on an external source using the VGA or HDMI output. I think that the problem is not in the motherboard or graphics card, but maybe in the screen, the lcd inverter or the video cable LVDS.

Is my correct deduction or not?

First I'll change the cable of the LCD, but I do find the model for my laptop (dc02000ud00 p/n K000080540) at a reasonable price.

I checked on ebay and I want to know if the cable of the LCD for toshiba satellite A505 might fit my laptop as this product

http://CGI.eBay.fr/Toshiba-A500-A505-video-cable-6017B0201901-V000190070-/120554876390

It is said that the cable is for satellite A500 A505 their American model. Do you think this could be compatible with my french model?

Another issue is on the cover of RAM. I lost mine and I would like to know the reference of a new (product number)?

The shape is like on the Toshiba PC Satellite maintenance manual I found on this site (see page 25 of the manual)

Thank you for your answers

> However, the view is of course an external source using the VGA or HDMI output. I think that the problem is not in the motherboard or graphics card, but maybe in the screen, the lcd inverter or the video cable, LVDS
> Is my correct deduction or not?

I agree with you it s not related to the graphics chip on the motherboard.
There must be something wrong with the LCD display or a tiny part as FL inverter or similar

In your case, I recommend you ask the authorized Toshiba partner in your country for compatible parts.
In this case, you are always on the right side and can be 100% sure that ordered parts would be fully compatible.

    Hello

    According to your description there is certainly some malfunction of the display. If everything works with external display, this means that you might not suspect graphics card. The display must be replaced.

  • Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

    Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) under Vista Home Premium, driver NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, 7.15.10.9813

    I can't get a picture on a monitor external (I tried two different monitors). More precisely:

    "Windows Mobility Center" will recognize that a monitor is connected
    "NVIDIA Control Panel - Display Change Configuration" will recognize the external monitor ('Select poster that you want to use' shows 'Display of the laptop + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the monitor plugged in ext)
    but no matter what configuration I try using Fn + F5 or change of display Configuration, I can't do anything but a black (backlight) display on the external monitor.

    The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when he is off in laptop only the setting Fn + F5, it displays a warning 'no signal', but when turned on again I just get black.

    I tried to change the resolution for the external monitor settings. They exactly match the native resolution of the monitor. Still nothing.
    I tried 'Clone' and 'Dual View' mode.
    Tried various different orders to turn on the computer laptop and monitor, Plug and unplug the device, etc.

    Having installed the latest driver for the Toshiba (see above) site. Have NOT tried to install any other driver from NVIDIA site, as she warns to use Toshiba - but that's worth a try?

    The clean laptop screen and all other aspects of the video are very good.

    It worked ok in the past (I think that before I did the upgrade to Vista when it was still on XP).
    Should I just wait for another update of Toshiba driver and maybe Vista SP1?

    I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, because the monitor is recognized etc...

    Jonathan

    What port you used?
    The (analog) external monitor port or the output port D-video?

    View as far as I know that if you used the external monitor (analog) port, then you should choose analog in the nVidia-> current view

    Then, you can use the FN + F5 key to switch between the two views.

  • Satellite P200 - LCD is black but the external monitor is OK

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba P200 17.1 ", LCD has gone black,
    You can see the backlight in the background.
    It turns on sometimes.

    I checked with an ohmmeter lead LCD and it seems to be ok, is not sure that that is the problem.
    When I connect it to an external it follow the work ok, made his first appearance on the backlight.

    I suspect it is the LCD screen, but I would check with certainty before I part with my hard earned money.

    Question, I have a spare screen Latitude D600 14.1 ", with the same connector on the LCD (30pin)
    Could I use with inverter P200 to see if there is a signal / MoBo to the power connector.

    Thank you

    Spike

    Hello

    You must use the display 17.1.
    Your Latitude D600 screen is 14.1 "so it will not work.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

    Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
    Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
    Have you tried the following:
    Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
    It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
    It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
    I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
    I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
    I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
    I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
    I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
    See you soon

    Hey Buddy,

    > It turns on but not at all to see clear
    This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

    It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

    In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite A100 has a black screen and will not charge in the Bios

    I bought a Satellite A100 - (model psaa8c-0fh00e) about 5 months ago. It was left overnight, which is not uncommon, and when I came back using about 15 hours later it was just a black screen. moved from the touch screen and keys, and nothing did. so I cold it starts and he died. I then turned it back as usual and the laptop turns on but the screen is completely black. It's not loading the normal Toshiba Bios screen.

    Now my question: If there is any way I can solve this, I am familiar with computers and parts. I don't get this cause I've ever had to reflash the wood or something like that. I am unsure of how to activate and I really want to have to take it to a shop, any suggestions would be helpful.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Conrad,.

    If your 100 starts normally (spinning HARD drive, optical drive LED flashes, fans turn etc.) then I suppose that your FL inverter or LCD screen is not. You can check this by connecting an external monitor to the laptop to see if it shows the normal display.

    On the other hand if there is no activity at all portable computer turn when you turn it on then I guess you have an internal hardware failure, possibly the main card, which must be checked by a Service partner authorized Toshiba since the unit is still under warranty if it is only 5 months old.

    Kind regards

    Sorry mate but could you give more details?

  • Satellite L500 - 20 X black screen problem

    Hello!

    I have problems with my laptop. My screen was casuing problems for awhile. I had black lines and white and grounds all over the screen and always had to change the angle of the screen. Once, I opened the laptop and magically, the situation has changed for the better without me doing much. He stayed like that for about a year.

    Well, recently, it got worse again and one day my screen stayed black when I tried to boot up the laptop. I tried an external monitor using the windows + P and Fn + F5 key, but none worked. Then I tried closing the laptop right after pressing the power button. It worked. I got a clear image on the external monitor. Then, I opened my laptop and - as if by magic for me - had a picture on the internal display, too. It worked until - after several hours - I had to restart the laptop. Now I'm back with the same question that I had before, and even the once-successful tactics seems to no longer work.

    Long story short: I thought, I might as well try a power cycle hard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFehLaJP6fQ) before you open Notepad again. And anyway, I don't know if opening it will do me any good.

    My questions are:

    (1) is that someone has an idea what might be going on here?

    (2) a hard power cycle will leave my data intact hard disk? It is not the same as a factory reset, is it? (In fact it is much more data, then the laptop. I would rather sacrifice laptop data.)

    Thanks in advance!

    So, can someone at least tell me, if my data is safe, if I do a hard power cycle?

  • Satellite Pro L300 - cursor black screen flashing

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro L300 Vista.

    The customer earned him in because when it starts it goes to home Toshiba screen then goes to a black screen with cursor flashing at the top left. I connected external monitor with the same result. Swapped RAM as well.

    Have run Memtest (spent), Seagate HDD long test (past), Ultimate boot CD and Winternals without success.
    * F8 does not work * and no more than the resumption of the plant.

    Can enter the BIOS F2 and F12 no problems and the HARD drive is listed.

    I reinstalled Vista on CD and on reboot it goes back to blinking cursor. I tried booting from the Vista CD repair and system restore. FixBoot commands and FixMbr prompt as well as with the same result.
    I feel that it may be a corrupt CMOS sensor? It's like the OS installs correctly, but the computer loses his memory on reboot where the operating system?

    Is the battery CMOS easily accessible and removable on this model?

    Has anyone experienced these symptoms? Is - fixable at lower cost?

    Hello

    If you have clients, I guess you're a technician and hope you have a few pieces of equipment in your store.
    Have you tried to set the BIOS to default settings and check again?
    If possible try to exchange the HARD drive and test the functionality again.
    You can use laptop with Linux live CD (HARD drive not required)?

    To be honest that I think n problem t is ORGANIC and, in my opinion, the exchange of the CMOS battery is not necessary.

    Please test it with the new HARD drive and post comments.

  • Satellite Pro A300-28V - black screen boot failure

    My three days old Satellite Pro A300 began yesterday to hang at startup in Vista. I rebooted twice with good result, but now I see only the home Toshiba screen, then it goes black with a cursor top left. I won't answer on /F12/ F8 F2 or the recovery of the DVD. Indicator LED disc is black, fan-only sound. I have connected not no matter what external monitor ever on this one.

    At the moment so it's Sunday I chose the battery and will try again in an hour or two, otherwise I contact seller tomorrow. Any ideas what's happening? BIOS crash, hard drive (after three days)?

    Hello

    Does this mean that you can t access the BIOS too?

    If it s, then it seems to be a hardware problem. Therefore, the service provider authorized in your country. They can help you to repair the laptop.

  • Satellite U500 - black edges on external monitor

    Hello

    I have problems with the HDMI to the TV connection.
    FULL HD resolution is 42 "FULL HD TV about 4 cm of black borders all around the display.
    I tried with 3 different HDMI cables, 2 different FULL HD TV and a LCD display, but were all of the black edges. Black borders will appear when you start computer (to the first screen Toshiba and BIOS too).
    With the same cables and monitors but other laptop's picture with no edges.

    When I tried with one HDMI (stl. U500) who have had on the another DVI output (screen LCD FULL HD) side has been the picture without black edges. With normal VGA - VGA cable is FULL HD photo also without edges.
    Where could be a problem?
    The system is Windows 7 64 bit with the latest ATI display driver and the latest version of the BIOS (2.20).

    Greetings

    Hi Michael,

    I m not a Satellite U500 owner but I guess there must be something wrong with the settings. I've never had a problem with the HDMI connection on my external monitor or TV. It s still works fine.

    In any case, what screen resolution you are using the external monitor? You must use the native screen resolution on external monitor. Then, you should be able to use the full screen here.

  • Satellite L500 - flicker and black screen turns green

    Toshiba Satellite L500-screen color problem; White and black green turn turn pink. When the laptop is turned on after a while, the screen back to normal, but just for a second. Then he turns his back to the Green and Pink for black and white color again. The display also flashes.

    Anyone, please help me.

    Hello

    Theoretically the two parties may be affected: Notebok display or graphic card itself.

    Way simpler to check that connects to an external monitor. If the external monitor is ok, the graphics card is affected. Otherwise, the screen of the laptop must be exchanged.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?

  • Satellite L40 - 14 H - black screen after BIOS update

    Hello!

    I have laptop Satellite L40 - 14 H (PSL48E). I installed Windows XP, it worked fine, except the keypad is lit permanently so I couldn't enter a few symbols. I decided to install the special BIOS for WinXP, which downloaded from the Toshiba web site. The PSL48x model is in the support list. Change the windows flashing and reboot, I entered the BIOS to see what has changed. I saw nothing new, so I leave the WOOD and restart again.

    Please help me, how can I save to live?
    Thank you, Eugene.

    If this does not help, you will need to go to a SPA to take a look at your machine.
