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?

  • When I start my computer Windows 7, it starts but nothing appears on the screen.

    Original title: startup problem

    Hello.

    When I start my computer win 7, it starts (fan starts, dvd disk drive turns on, lights on the Tower of keys on and even usb ports give power IE can charge my phone by usb cable), but nothing appears on the screen (empty, nothing, does not react)

    However, after you restart the computer several times active and computer screen display works fine without problems.

    This problem occurs only when I turn on the computer after having completely off but does not happen when I restart using the option restart.

    I'd be suspicious of an imminent hard drive failure.  Download and run the program tester for the manufacturer of your hard disk drive.  Give me the model number of your player (Device Manager), and I'll give you the link to download. At least, you have to exclude this possibility before you spend a lot of time trying to re - build.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - nothing appears on the screen

    Hello

    Stupidly, I dropped the phone on the floor and now I can hear the phone turn on and the loading of windows, but I don't see anything on the screen. If I pull the laptop to me, applying light pressure, the backlight turns on, but there is still no display. If someone could help it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I'm sorry to hear that, JungleMan, but it can happen to anyone. ;)

    In any case, I think that it s something wrong with the display and FL inverter which controls the backlight. You can see an image on an external monitor?
    If yes that internal must replace and also the FL inverter I think because you apply slight pressure only backlight lights.

    You can order a new screen and other parts of an official Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

    On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem is, but I assume that the display may be defective.

    For testing purposes, you can connect external monitor to your laptop to see if everything is OK there.
    Anyway, what you need to do is contact the closest service Toshiba and let check your laptop.

    Hello.

    My Satellite P100-115 is 2.5 years but yesterday a thin vertical line appeared on the screen.
    I already checked this problem by connecting an external monitor.

    The line does not appear on the external display.
    Could you tell me what might get hurt? I always took care of the laptop so he couldn't be a race of misuse.

    Concerning
    Lukas

    Hello, Lukas

    You did the right thing and tested it with the external monitor. There is evidence that the display is faulty and must be replaced. It has nothing with the help of the ADB. Such a thing just happens.

    Sorry, buddy, but there are two solutions, either Exchange the screen or use it with external monitor. :(

  • Tecra A2: Nothing appears on the projector screen

    Model: Toshiba Tecra A2

    Problem: Laptop is wired to a projector using the VGA port on the back of the laptop.

    When we try to playing a DVD or mpg video on the laptop the video play as usual on the laptop, but nothing appears on the display of the projector. Windows Media Player is visible on the projector, but no video image.

    The laptop has a video on the port on the back of it, and I guess that's where the laptop sends the video - but we do not want to use this - is it possible to get the video playing on the vga port?

    Thank you

    The first change to the projector by using the FN + F5 key combination. After that, start the DVD or any other video file. I had the same problem if the laptop is connected to the TV. If the DVD work that it was not possible to see on TV.

  • Satellite L670D-103 - nothing displayed on the screen

    Hello, please help, my laptop does not start!

    When I push button 'ON', there is nothing displayed on the screen, but the fan is running, the lights are on except the HARD drive light. The motherboard seems to be ok then, but there screen is always black! For your information, my HARD drive is nearly full (319, 8 GB / 320 GB) and I did not create Toshiba recovery disc

    What is a screen or an OS problem, and how can I fix it? The screen display depends on the OS to start and the screen won't work if the OS is recovered?

    Thank you
    Concerning

    Hey,.

    Theoretically, it could be a malfunction of the card Mother poster to find this point connect an external monitor to your laptop and if the internal display is faulty, you should see something on the screen. Otherwise another part is at the origin of the problem.

    This problem has nothing to do with the HARD drive. Even without disc HARD is installed you should see the screen of the Toshiba BIOS at least.

    Why you have not created the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    The recovery disc can restore the factory settings on the HARD drive, but in this case it will not help you. Recovery disk is only software (Windows).
