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 U400-112 - opening of the screen turns off the computer

    Hello

    When I open the screen, then when it crosses a certain opening angle, the computer is off. Then, I need to plug in the external power supply and remove the battery. After that, I can turn on the laptop.

    After my way back, when I turned on the laptop, the screen was white alone (no other colors) and when I open it again, disables NB.

    So I suppose, in the articulation of the screen cable are damaged. Because the external LCD (via VGA) works very well.
    Laptop is still under warranty. don't you think that it can be applied?

    Thanks for the tips, John.

    Hello John

    We don't talk much about it. If the warranty is still valid, contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider as soon as possible.
    They will fix it for free.

  • Monitor may not turn off after setting the screen turns off after a period of inactivity

    Original title: control screen does not turn off

    My cell phone 6 year old runs today to Win XP Pro and IE7 and Firefox. My screen has been set to turn off after 15 minutes, but these days he keeps any. It stays ON all day.

    Attempted to solve by setting to turn off in 10 minutes, but it makes no difference, what could be the problem?

    TIA

    First of all, you don't want to do the hardware updates through the Microsoft Update Website.

    Secondly, there are a couple ways you can do this:

    1. go in the Device Manager (start > Control Panel > administrative tools > computer management > Device Manager).    tedious, but this way you are sure.

    Double-click each item, having developed each sign, select the driver tab and choose Update driver, let windows search automatically, make sure that you are connected to the internet.  Do this for each item that you want to search for updated drivers.

    2. go in the manufacturer's website. For example, I use a Dell Dimension and move the driver Dell downloads Web site.

    If you mean hardware upgrade from Microsoft (not Windows which is software) you would search Microsoft.com site for driver downloads.

    Hope this helps, after back with your results, please.

  • Satellite A660-10W screen turns off completely using Facebook only!

    A disk or something perhaps?

    Sometimes this phenomenon of 'black-out' has happened in the past but its still OK after...
    However, I recently opened a page on FACEBOOK, and every time I am on facebook he blacks out.

    It inevitably then back again.
    But it happenes often - and always on Facebook.

    To be honest, I've ever read on these problems.
    What exactly happens if you visit the Facebook page? The screen goes black?
    What internet browser do you use? IE?

  • Latitude D610 screen turns off after the Windows XP loading screen

    I'm having a problem with my Latitude D610 where after the Windows XP loading screen, the screen turns off completely. No BSOD, no login screen, just a white screen. This started happening at least a year, however, I bought a new computer if it is passed to the hatch. I tried the system restore when it appeared first without success. The computer starts in Mode safe. Any suggestions?

    If it starts in mode without failure, then its almost certainly a driver and with the blank screen problem, I suspect a display driver.

  • Expansion of the files is at 27% and then my screen turns off? : s

    Hi all, I read the other thread on this subject on the website, but as usual the problem I have is simply a little more boring, I would like to re-Morphix vista compeltely but in order to do so I obviously need to go through this process. As the title says, when he reached 27% on the expansion of the files after the first reboot, it goes no further, then after awhile my screen turns off. IM typing this text from my laptop at the moment in the hope that all of a sudden my screen will restart and it will continue, but I doubt it very much.

    I understand more information may be needed to help me then please just ask. Thank you.

    P.s. This problem during one accurs installation from the cd rather than boot. When I try to boot from the drive and runing installing it, my screen turns off agan normally just after entering the cdkey for vista.

    I have no idea why this is happening, but if I have the sort I would be very very happy :)

    EDIT: A little later and the screen is back on, sound saying "Please wait a moment while windows prepares to start for the first time" then after that, there are a lot of points and moe points keep coming (etc.) I hope it's a good thing: S

    Hello

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?
    2 How much RAM you have in your computer?

    If you are unable to boot to the desktop, then unplug all external devices and try to install windows again.

    If the installation fails again, then start in the system recovery options, and run the Windows memory diagnostic tool.

  • Inspiron 9300 screen turns off after the Windows Logo screen

    Inspiron 9300 my wife became severely infected.  I thought I had some weird things start popping up of the problem decided to wipe the hard drive and start over.  Unfortunately, I don't have to restore disks when I bought the computer.  I install windows xp pro service pack 2 full retail version.

    Installation was not a problem until I installed the driver ATI Mobility x 300.  I followed directions for installation from the website, do the installation of xp followed of the dell system software update followed of chipset followed video driver.  After that whenever I put on, the screen turns off after the Windows Logo.  The computer is still running and if I plug an external monitor everythng is fine.

    I tried all the troubleshooting tips I've seen in this forum.  I did a full install twice. made of safety boots (all right), started in VGA mode (works fine), I ran diagnostics from fn on startup, including express, extended and video tests and they pass all the controls.  I'm sure it's a software problem, but have been unable to solve.  I've updated the ATI bios although when I run it says already installed and done one installs x 300 driver on 6 ttimes own.

    I know it must be something simple that I'm missing. My system is the Inspiron 9300 with 2 GB of ram and the mobility x 300 card.  Any help would be appreciated.


  • LCD screen turns off without reason - Satellite M40X

    I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M40X, I work when the LCD turn off and I hear two PIF. To turn on the LCD screen I need to restart the laptop, but the problem persists after a few minutes.

    Can someone help me, please.

    Hello

    Here you can compare the version of the BIOS installed on the laptop with the one published on the page of the Toshiba driver.
    If you use the older BIOS, you can try to update. Maybe the update will sort this strange behavior.

    But there could also be a hardware malfunction if the BIOS update does not help.

    I have a Satellite A200-E530D on Windows Vista Home Premium. For a month, I had something strange happening on my computer, shortly after the start, the screen turns off. without good reason! the only option I have is hard to system boot and everythings... Although a few times after the restart he still went.

    I tried to upgrade to the last poster of drivers (I have an Nvidia Geforce Graphics card 7300 Go with 128 MB of VRAM)

    Another weird thing, Vista SP1 does not install on my machine. tried to uninstall my Anti virus, but that did not help either one.

    Can anyone shed light on my dark screen?

    Hello!

    You have the same problem on an external monitor?
    I m not sure if it s a display problem, mother or software card

  • Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE - screen turns off automatically

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 784 PSAANE with windows visa Home Basic edition.
    Now for 15-20 days I am facing a strange problem. The screen of the laptop emits a sometimes (not necessarily every time) and then when the frequency increases the display turns off automatically!
    Then I must Hibernate or he put laptop to sleep to find again the screen... Seriously, I don't understand the problem.

    Please help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Julie,.

    It sounds as if something is harming your graphics driver causing the display to turn off. If the problem occurs only when you use certain applications or only started after installing a new application you may need to restore your system to a restore point before new applications have been installed. As a test, you can try to start your system in safe mode and see if the problem persists.

    I also recommend that you re-install your graphics drivers to see if it improves the problem.

    Other possibilities are that your graphics chip is a failure or overheating causing this problem in which case you have to return your laptop to a Service approved for the additional diagnostic agent.

    My last thought is that you may have a problem with the inverter FL (the component that provides the lighting of your LCD screen). Check, when the screen turns off, if you can still see a residual image on the screen. If yes then the FL inverter is definitely at fault.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite 1800 - 752S - the screen turns off

    Hello world.
    I have a satellite 1800 - 752S.
    Since an ew months ithas a weird problem: the screen turns off. If I press and release the button the lid on what it is, but after that turns off again quickly. OT goes off sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. Sometimes it provides be when I run out of battery and bothers me on AC, sometimes against. It works fine, after I turn sleep or hibernation several times, and after a reboot, it bothers me. I've updated his BIOS for the lates on this site, which would not help. I guess it's a hardware problem, because it's the same problem under Linux, and I tried to install different versions of drivers and windows (not only the one of the recovery CD). Anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
    Thank you very much
    Roman

    Hello

    I think you're right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try connecting an external monitor. If it works without problem while laptops, screen turns off, then it must be a hardware failure.

    I guess it's a problem with the FL inverter. You have to give your machine a service partner Toshiba for repair.

    Good bye

  • Satellite A210 - 17L - screen turns off

    Hello people,

    I have a similar problem to [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=61255&tstart=15], screen turns off by itself randomly, but backlight remains lit and laptop always seems to work (judging by fan). This started after upgrading Vista to Windows 7 (new installation), there was no problem before. I tried to update the display driver, first ATI Catalyst, then Toshiba official one, the customer pays less often, but still doesn't work, it's nice embarrassing ;) It occurs regardless if the laptop is used or just slowed down and is not caused by overheating or saving energy, also cell is generally connected with mounted battery.

    I have the last opportunity to go and update the BIOS, but I'm in fear of bricking the thing, so he would try as a last resort.

    Any idea guys?

    Thank you

    Hello

    There is an easy way to solve this problem: connect an external monitor and check what happens. If everything is ok on the external monitor installation (Windows) and internal monitor are ok, the problem must be internal monitor itself.

    If it s the monitor itself it s inverter FL, LCD cable or LCD itself. That s is not easy to say on this virtual path for your laptop needs to be checked to an authorized service provider. Guys can make an accurate diagnosis.

  • Gigaframe L81 - after 2-3 seconds, the LCD screen turns off

    Hello!

    I think, I missconfigurated my camera... I put the automatic light (auto light) options, then the LCD is turned off. OK, its light of day here, but how can she Cook?

    And - perhaps because of the thing said? -its LCD screen turns off every time, when I push the power on button. I'm tired of using the reset switch, but she has - at least, in the LCD - no effect.

    Device is reset, then lights up the screen, I see him starting, I can touch control "buttons" on the right side (I can see the blue lights), but after only 2-3 seconds, the LCD display turns off again.

    Although I can do anything on my camera - attach PC files, copy or dele (ordered from Windows) etc. I just don't see anything in the LCD screen.

    What's wrong?

    If it still does not work after resetting it, then it may be a hardware problem.

    I think that you will need for repair/replacement.

  • Screen turns off when the Satellite A45-S250 is moved in the direction of less

    Hello.

    I have a satellite A45-S250. I had no previous problem with this machine. However, when the computer is running too long, or it is moved in the slightest way the screen turns off. I don't even have to type very slowly - or I lose the screen.

    But also, as I have said - sometimes I won't even be near the computer and the screen turns off. When I lose the screen if the light shines on it - I can see, it's always VERY fair Sun. Generally, it will come if I use the FN + F5 button.

    I don't know if it is a screen problem or a connection problem. It occurs with increased frequency. Any suggestion would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    From your description, I assume FL converter is defective and must be replaced. FL inverter is responsible for the background light and the typical symptom for faulty FL inverter is dimming or blinking display.
