Satellite A60 screen flickers and DIMM to almost black

Recently, I noticed a few flickering on the screen of my laptop. This is not not a permanent flickering, but rather one that last a few seconds, then disappears. This occurs randomly, so am unable to associate with the use of any hardware or software. Two days ago, my screen dimmed to an almost black. With some effort, I could see (heavily) the different icons on the desktop, the laptop off. Some time later, I restarted the laptop to get the same screen. The next day, when I started my laptop everything seemed to be fine. I intend to update my BIOS, but just before I do that, I thought I should try to get help. All ideas are welcome. TIA.

Hello

It looks like FL-inverter to malfunction.
I guess that the flickering of screen was also caused by faulty FL inverter.
This part is not very expensive.
But if you want to be 100% so I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country.
Guys should check the laptop. Maybe it's just something wrong with a s connection cable.

  • Satellite P300D - screen flickers and the battery is unstable

    I bought the new Satellite P300d-h-13, I liked a lot, but from the first day I have problems with it.

    1. when on battery, the screen flickers - it will clear less brilliant, just like I'm shaking the laptop (I'm not :))
    2. battery is not stable: when I use the battery indication of remaining time power is going from little or a lot, I mean for example on 90 percent, it says 59 minutes and on 60 it says 1 hour and something when he is on 50 say 30 minutes and when it is at 25 percent It says 25 minutes then to 23 per cent arrives at 17 minutes.
    I guess the problems are linked, but I don't know what to do. Contact service, or do I have to install any software?

    3. a third problem is a small white spot on the screen - it's about a pixel or at most 5 pxls and it is too bright. I guess that's a dead pixel (s) but I am not happy when a new laptop has this problem (s)

    So if anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it a lot.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello Hio

    Do you always use factory settings or you have installed your own operating system?
    Have you noticed the number one and two on the first day?

    What about dead pixel? I know it's not nice, but I wonder you didn't react immediately after the first or second day and try to talk with your dealer and ask for replacement. Please check follow documents on dead pixel:

  • Satellite M70 - screen flickers and goes black, white or other

    I have a portable Satellite M70 and lately the screen becomes either black, white and a few other colors (no ghost image).

    The laptop seems good but I can t see anything so the only solution is to turn on and off. He didn't used to do this.
    I have updated the BIOS and the driver of the screen but always comes back.

    Any suggestions?

    Have you tried an external monitor on the laptop?
    It would be important to make sure if it s a display or the motherboard problem.
    Check it!

    Have what driver you installed for the laptop? You must use the driver from the Web from Toshiba site.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

    Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

    The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

    HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

    Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

    I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

  • Satellite A60 summary failure and press a key to continue

    I have a problem with my satellite A60.
    I had the computer for about a year and a half and have never had any serious problems with it of any kind. However, last week the keyboard started to fail, first with only a few keys, then the full keyboard.

    It never bothered me much because I'm quite familiar with the Toshiba computers. So I connected an external keyboard, and I was back in business.

    I used it very well so far but I put the computer into hibernation last night and when I woke up this morning he said "resume failure and press a key to continue."
    I have keys and nothing happens, it just stay on this screen. I try to access BIOS by pressing ESC when I turn on the computer and the priority is set at STARTUP DO not RESUME, hover, it won't let me highlight to change anyway. The computer won't let me boot from the cd. Basically, it's just stuck on the screen and that's all.

    I wonder if there is another way to get around this or is my computer ended for good. I was running fedora linux at the time of the accident.

    Seems difficult but not insoluble it s...
    It resembles a hardware problem, but I won't for sure.

    This keyboardthing can be a defective keyboardcontroller, because your description of the error is describing a similar case that I got with my camera.
    I send the machine to my local servicepartner and they exchanged my motherboard and keyboard and after repair of the error, I had never bothered me again.

    Just a quick question: some fluids come from on your keyboard?

    Have a nice weekend

  • External screen flickers and snowy with El Capitan

    I have an intermittent problem on a new LG Display.

    LG Display 27MP58 27 "connected to the Macbook Air 11' with El Capitan (10.11.4) flickers and the picture goes snowy. This happens about 10% of the time.

    So to determine if it was the connection, the display or the computer I plugged in the screen of a Macbook Air with Yosemite and it was very stable. This convinced me that el Capitan is the culprit.

    Given that I'm reluctant to downgrade the OS to Yosemite, is there another fix for flickering with El Capitan.

    Thank you

    Hello senorbill2000,

    I understand that you have a problem with an external display connected to your MacBook Air. Have you considered as reinstall OS X Yosemite, but want to discover some additional troubleshooting options before you go down this path. I can help you with that.

    At any time you have problems with the display, I always begin with ensure the connection between the two. Start by reseating the cable and also check that your Mac is up-to-date with it's software. Another thing to try is to reset the SMC and the NVRAM. Take a look at the article below and it will be presented in more detail on what to do when you encounter problems with your external monitor.

  • Satellite A60-142: motherboard and DC Jack

    Hello

    I need someone to help me.

    My laptop broke down a few months ago because of the CC is broken. I'm looking for the DC JACK model, necessary for the laptop, but as long as I have searched the web, I couldn't see everything. I bought one on ebay (USA) for the A60 series, but is not compatible with the European model of S60 142 I.

    Anyone know where I can find, or can I discovered the true model DC JACK I need?

    Thankls in advance!

    Kind regards
    Alfonso

    Hello

    If you have a European Satellite A60 notebook, then you must contact the ASP in your country to order the compatible DC Jack.
    The authorized service provider who is responsible for your country could order this tiny part directly from Toshiba.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A60-672 hangs and will not initialize correctly

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop A60-672 he had been running slow but now when I turn the laptop it goes directly to the option screen where I choose the mode without failure or last known good configuration, all the options I choose goes into the windows form as if xp load to the top of the blue cross bar the bottom of the screen you get a quick click of a blue screen and then it restarts to the safe mode screen and know last good config?

    Can someone advise me

    Thanks and greetings

    Hello

    On this path, it is not easy to say why the blue screen occurs. You know when a system error occurs, the computer displays a blue screen containing error codes. Can we post this code? Maybe someone will be able to say something that will help you.

    Anyway, in my opinion, the BONE is totally screwed and I fear at the end, you need to do clean install of the OS.

  • Satellite A60 becomes warmer and slower and finally turn off

    Hi all
    My A60 is 18 months old. In January of this year, he had one main card replaced because he decided to put it off and wouldn't restart. At that time there laptop was on the Toshiba warranty that no problem. Unfortunately after almost a year he has warm and moved offshore again. What you think, a defective machine or a qualified repairman missed a real source of trouble.
    Will be grateful for any ideas or suggestions.
    Thank you
    Concerning
    Bartek

    I agree with Tobi. Probably there is more dust inside and the unit cannot be cooled properly. First thing you can do is to clean the device. The construction of the laptop, you can see if cleaning can be carried out alone or not. In your case I think it will be better to do it on the vocational track.

  • Re: Satellite P870 - screen flickers for a while after the Toshiba homepage

    My new Toshiba Satellite P870 starts with screen blinking 1, 2 or 3 times with each start, exactly AFTER. Toshiba, Leading Innovation Logo starts.

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you in advance!

    I put t know what it looks like, but as something like this shouldn't happen. If you have any new laptop contact your dealer as soon as possible, explain the situation and ask for replacement.

    If you are not satisfied with your product, you can get replacement. In my client countries have 14 days to do so.

  • Computer laptop screen flickering and horizontal lines in Inspiron 15r SE 7520

    I have a laptop Dell inspiron 15r is who is 1.1years old (model - 7520). It worked well up to that of a few days. Last week, he began giving a horizontal line of white point at the top of the screen (like that... in white) for the entire width of the screen. Since yesterday, or a similar line began to appear at the bottom too. Two of these online come and go every 2-3 sec. And the screen will jump a little (like 5 pixels or larger) and it will also sometimes shake which makes it difficult to read letters.

    The problem exists everywhere, even in the start screen. In short, when I press power button / stop and screen start showing something problem also begins.

    Today, I plugged an external lcd display via a vga cable and it works fine. No line and no flickering. So I guess that the GPU is ok? What could be the problem? Would be - this contact that loose or something cable laptop computer screen?

    Another question: I got the security, including the protection against accidental damage and stuff for a year. But since I was outside this period, now, what do I do?

    And since I am outside the warranty period anyway is it OK if I open my laptop and try something?

    Help, please!

    If you have found the solution please share with me.
