Satellite A500-1GH - sometimes the screen will Dim

Well, I bought this computer 3 weeks back, and since then, I have a problem with the display. A few times, the screen will Dim and after that, a message appears saying that the pilot crashed and recovered successfully.
Any ideas that I can do to fix this problem?

Either way, I'm using Windows 7 Edition home premium and a graficcard of 330M from nVidia. I tried to search the drivers reinstall, but has not found for this specific model.

  • Satellite C660 - right of the screen will flash green

    Hey, I wonder if someone can help me - the screen on my satellite C660, only about two months old, started flashing green stripes a couple of days after I set the screen forward slightly. Nothing has got rid of him, and whenever the screen is moved it flickers more strongly or turns into a solid green Strip.

    I thought that this could be a problem where the screen connects to the computer, but I looked around the hinges and it seem not to be the son of cowards. I have not yet contacted Toshiba because I'll have to call their support number UK since France, which will cost a bomb, wonder if anyone here had any ideas first? If it happened to someone else?

    Thank you!

    In my opinion, it is not so important if someone else the bonnet or not and that you should not waste your time waiting for responses.

    I put t know where you bought this laptop but every laptop purchased in Europe has guaranteed EMEA then please call authorized Toshiba service provider in the country where you live now and ask for help. You have the new laptop and if there are some hardware related question lets fix that.

    Addresses and telephone numbers of aspic all you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

    Good luck.

  • When I'm on the web, sometimes the screen will glitch and boxes and black lines appear. Why is that happening and how can I stop it?

    Hello

    Some Firefox problems can be solved by performing a clean reinstall. This means that you remove Firefox program files, and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:

    Note: You can print these steps or consult them in another browser.

    1. Download the latest version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org office and save the installer to your computer.
    2. Once the download is complete, close all Firefox Windows (click on quit in the file menu or Firefox).
    3. Remove the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
      • Windows:

        • C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
        • C:\Program Files (x 86) \Mozilla Firefox
      • Mac: Delete Firefox in the Applications folder.
      • Linux: If you have installed Firefox with the distribution-based package manager, you must use the same way to uninstall: see Install Firefox on Linux. If you have downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    4. Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
      1. Double-click on the downloaded Setup file and go through the steps in the installation wizard.
      2. Once the wizard is completed, click to open Firefox directly after clicking the Finish button.

    More information on the resettlement of Firefox can be found here.

    WARNING: Uninstaller or the use of Firefox and not run a third remover as part of this process, because who could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and passwords saved. These can be recovered, unless they have been backed up on an external device!

  • Satellite A500-1GH blue screen when copying to usb drive.

    Hello everyone

    I'm new to this forum and I need your help.

    I have a new toshiba Satellite A500-1gh with windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
    It works perfectly, but I have problems when im trying to copy to my/on my portable usb drive.

    He copy some data and then blue screen of death.
    I tried to check my RAM with memtest, but it restarts my pc once he starts the first tests.

    Can someone help me?

    Hello

    Is it only happens using USB drive?
    Have you tried other disks USB, key USB flash or other USB devices?

    > I tried to check my RAM with memtest, but it restarts my pc once he starts the first tests.
    Hmm... It's strange...
    The problem of memory could be responsible for BSOD, but if this BSOD appears only using USB drive then I would recommend testing other external USB HDD.

    You should also try to update the driver from chipset since the chipset USB ports driver controls

  • Satellite 5200: lines on the screen - driver does not properly

    Laptop: Satellite 5200 702

    A few days ago, my laptop screen went all funny lines, came to the screen in a form of flickering green, the laptop froze and then the driver failed. The funcitons still mobile but I have these lines always start the toshiba XP loading screen system, so I know it will be a hardware problem. I have attached an external monitor to confirm that this is not a screen problem.

    Sometimes I turn on the laptop and the screen will be fine and loaded drivers, but that only lasts for about 2 minutes then XP lock ip, blue screens and reboots. Then once it to load with the dirver does everything wrong.

    I took the flat laptop cleaned and looked for something sensitive which could be causing it? I have not changed or verified the memory of the laptop, if it's an idea to do?

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    This really looks like to me a graphics card failure. What do you think?
    Have you tried recovery of the operating system with the recovery CD Toshiba delivered? If this is not the case, try to install the OS from CD. Then you can be sure that the issue is not relegated to a malfunction of the software (driver) to 100%.

    But generally, I don t think you can fix it yourself. I m not sure if the graphics card may be withdrawn or entire motherboard but if it s a bad hardware work if the part needs to be replaced.
    If you have no significant experience in the laptop repair, then you should ask a technician for help.

  • Satellite A500-1GH - SD slot is compatible with SDHC and SDXC?

    I have a Satellite A500-1GH with Windows 7 64 bit. I'm about to buy an SD card, and I was wondering if the SD card on the front of the laptop is compatible with SDHC cards and latest SDXC cards. If so, do I need to download some software or drivers for this type of SD cards to work?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi xactxx,

    Normally you can answer this question yourself... What do you think?

    You only need the manual and you will find a list of supported SD and SDHC cards.
    It supports SDHC up to 16 GB cards.

  • Satellite A500-1GH empty what is PCI accommodation with sign JGPS

    Almost a year ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-1GH.
    I can't say that I'm not satisfied with the computer or the company.

    The problems I had was the display problem (stops working for seconds) which was the problem of software (updated nVidia 8.16.11.8875) and with the HARD disk that works to stop but the company changed with a new one.

    Now, I wanted to spend the second module of memory from 2 GB to 4 GB so I can have 2 x 4 GB, but when I open the memory compartment, I saw an empty PCI home with JGPS sign beside them.
    Does anyone know what it is?

    And if so what is the part number?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi mate

    AFAIK JGPS is a GPS connector.
    Perhaps this connector would be shared by 3G miniPCI card.
    AFAIK this Satellite A500-1GH not equipped with a 3G module and slot miniPCI is so empty.

    > And if so what is the part number?
    I don't know the part number, but all parts can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP.

    Each time Firefox opened

    Hello Darryl.

    It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    Hello

    Very strange problem
    Have you noticed this problem from the beginning?

    First check if your BIOS is up to date. Updated the BIOS if the new version is available.
    In addition it would be recommended to update the display driver.

    But if two updates don't change this, then I recommend you contact an ASP in your country. It could be a hardware problem.

  • Satellite A210-1AO: sometimes the colors on the screen become unnatural

    Hello. I have a Toshiba Satellite A210 1AO two months ago and collided with a following problem.
    Very rarely (once a week) on the screen colors become suddenly against natural.
    The problem even if it means opening / closing of coverage.

    Really the material damage?
    The problem is rarely enough.

    Hello

    I m an owner of a portable Satellite A210-10Y but I didn t notice a similar problem; running under Windows XP OS or using the Vista.

    I don t want to publish stories great but perhaps that the problem of color could be linked to the issue of the material.
    Maybe part of laptop as displays, FL-ups or graphics card would be malfunctions

    In my view, a check of laptop would be useful and I recommend you contact the ASP.
    If your warranty is the replacement of any piece of material must be covered by warranty.

    PS; Updating the graphics driver, what would you say? Did you use the latest graphic drivers Toshiba?

  • screen will Dim when moving the mouse

    This also occurs when you use the Panel on the surface of the computer (have no idea of what would be called). Press a key wakes the computer to the top. How can I disable this behavior of the mouse?

    It is with a Macbook Pro with OS X (version before the current version)

    Not really answering my own question but to add more information. This problem occurs if I move the mouse to the bottom right of the screen.
