Satellite E45-B4200 - screen flashes black

Hello

every now and then my laptop screen starts to blink several times.

When he started a few weeks ago, it would be short, quick, a few blinks of black color.
Now, the problem persists, whith the flashing more and more frequent and and blackouts are longer.

My laptop is Satellite E45-B4200 on Win 8.1.

Could you please help?

The same symptoms are visible on the external screen?

If not, the malfunctioning of the internal display would be responsible for the short and fast flashing.

Otherwise, if the same is visible on the external monitor, the graphics card might be the troublemaker.

    Hello

    Hello

    I agree with the user above. First of all, please check this work around on cable, graphics card, etc.

    By the way: what display driver you have installed right now? Sometimes I read here in the forum that no Toshiba display drivers problems, so I recommend you to install the latest version of Toshiba directly.

    Last but not least with an external monitor, you can check where the problem is: either internal monitor or graphics card but I think that, in both cases, you need assistance from an authorized service provider to swap the part.

  • iMac screen flashes black in Photoshop CC

    Hello

    I am posting this as well in CC Adobe and Apple forums as I do not know where the problem lies, but I would really appreciate this problem:

    I use Adobe apps on an iMac CC brand new (still in time to get the full refund). If you use Photoshop CC (2015.5) the entire screen (not only the Photoshop window) goes black for about half a second when any icon tool exceeding a certain size of pixel passes of the tool to the pointer icon icon or vice versa.

    This happens for example when the icon of the fate of the area of the image on the menus or the dashboard or window, or when it comes in and out of the right click menu change brush size. Any situation when running the tool pointer or pointer tool. It does not always happen, but it happens most of the time, maybe the type of pointer movement has something to do with it, well it happens with fast or slow transitions.

    The problem only occurs when the brush is superior to certain dimensions - never when it is less than the critical size. The critical size may vary depending on whether the Photoshop was opened for a while or just launched (I don't know too much about). There is also an interaction with the hardness of the tool.

    Thus, for example:

    On the blur to 0% hardness tool, the screen flashes black when will top 80 pixels-never less than size. 100% hardness, it flashes from 64 pixels. Same for the Brush tool, Eraser, etc. I think it happens with any appreciable tool (don't have not tried them all).

    I use a Wacom Intuos PS and the Magic Mouse from Apple. The problem occurs at the same time if they are both connected together or separately.

    The problem occurs even when Photoshop is the only application running.

    Please help, because it is almost unusable now.

    Specifications of the computer:

    iMac, retina 4 k, 21, 5-inch

    Processor: Intel Core i5 to 3.1 GHz

    Memory: 8 GB 1867 MHz DDR3

    Graphics card: Intel Pro Iris Graphics 6200 1536 MB

    The Photoshop memory usage is set to default values:

    4500MB (70% of available memory)

    4 levels of cache

    Tile size 1024K cache

    I just downloaded and tried the oldest version of Photoshop - CS6 - available through my driver's license and the problem is exactly the same, this is not limited to a particular version of the CC in Photoshop.

  • Screen flashes black when playing games

    When I play the games. The screen flashes black for a few seconds then goes back and re-offend?

    After reading this description of problem a single sentence, it is not easy to tell a lot about your problem.

    Perhaps you should tell us something about your machine, pre-installed OS, display driver you are using and of course, be a bit more detail on this subject.

  • Satellite a200-1sv screen remains black at startup in Vista

    Hello

    We have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1sv my girlfriend: when we started, most of the time, the screen remains black, while the computer starts: after awhile, we can hear the sound of windows (vista).

    In addition, if connect us another screen of the computer, it displays the scheduled start screen. In order to use the computer, it must launch a few times... The support guy where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we cannot do something".

    Can we do something?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ju

    I have to smile to read this message
    Mainly, this statement is funny;
    > The support guys where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we can't do something."

    I think that this laptop has been delivered with the Vista operating system. So why the guy said that the laptop is not compatible with Vista?  :| …. that's nonsense.

    First the A200-1SV belongs to the PSAE6E series and it s fully Vista capable.
    Secondly, like you say the external screen displays home Toshiba screen and so I guess that's just a matter of adjustment.
    What you can do is to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between display devices.

    If it doesn't help to try to put the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD!
    In this case, the new OS, driver and tools will be installed and then everything should work fine.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P100 - the screen goes black

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P100 and randomly, the screen goes black but the system continues to operate. I downloaded the latest drivers from toshiba, all power options the maximum support, run ccleaner and driver Sweeper to remove the old entries driver, re-installed the login screen of the mobo and nothing seems to work.

    The screen goes black sometimes when using windows but STILL turns black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Model: Toshiba Satellite P100-PSPA6A-02NO21
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200@2GHz
    GPU: Nvidia Quadro nvs 510 m
    Chipset: Intel i945PM
    HARD drive: Fujitsu 148GB
    RAM 2 GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 operating system

    Hey,.

    > ALWAYS goes black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.
    This means that the graphics card is defective

    Theoretically, it could be an overheating problem too. Higher time can also cause a black screen. You should try everything that is possible to clean your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    If it doesn t help it seems to be a hardware malfunction but seriously a point would be interesting: have you noticed the same thing with preinstalled OS (Vista) Toshiba?

    The display only works correctly when the angle is close to 90 degrees.

    Hey Buddy,

    I m not a technician but I agree with the user above. For me it looks like a hardware problem and you should go to a service provider allowed. Technicians can check your defective parts for computer laptop notebook and Exchange.

  • Satellite M30x-165 - screen is black

    Dear all,

    Unfortunately, my screen is black.

    Whenever I start my laptop / notebook my screen (display / monitor) is black.

    I can't use my laptop because I don't see anything. The system works.

    Why does this happen?
    What can I do against it?

    I'd appreciate any help.

    Best regards
    JJ

    Hi JJ,

    A friend of me had the same problem on his Satellite M30x too. He didn t see an image on the monitor internal but external monitor works properly.
    Also, do you have plugged an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image on the external monitor?

    However, after testing an external monitor that works, he replaced the internal screen FL inverter and the laptop working again properly. :)

    If t, you can see an image on the external monitor too, it seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the card mother or something else.
    You can access the BIOS?

  • Satellite 210CS - the screen stays black (even to an external monitor)

    Dear Toshiba Forum members and guests.

    Several months ago, I found an old laptop. When I turn it on, the screen remains black. And when I connect an external monitor to the laptop via the VGA input, two screens are black. I used a flashlight, pulled on the LCD screen of the laptop, but I don't see all the details on the screen.

    I thought it was because of the empty RAM slots. This week, I bought a RAM-unit and installed.
    I tried to start the laptop again, but nothing on the two screens (even though I used a flashlight).
    I searched the Internet for certain solutions, but nothing works. I also tried updating the BIOS, found on the Web from Toshiba site.

    Some information on the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite 210CS/1.3
    PA1230E
    48 MB RAM
    1.3 GB HARD DRIVE

    Date of manufacture: 4 ^ th ^ October 1997

    If you want more information or you would like more information, please put a comment in this thread.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I don't think that someone will be able to tell what part exactly failures because it could be any inner part.
    You buy the RAMs again. Well, in this case, we can exclude RAM problem, but there is probably a motherboard, CPU or a graphics card problem.

    From my point of view of the few you don't have many options: perhaps you could found some other good treatments Satellite 210CS somewhere in the internet since it is not very easy to get parts for this oldie

  • Satellite P200D-139 - screen remains black

    Hello, Ive had my laptop for a few years and after leaving in my freezer for a few weeks on vacation, I went to turn it on and the laptop turned on and the lights came, but the screen remained black. The screen was not completely black she lights up very slightly, but nothing was visible at all (not even very thirsty)

    In the past, I encountered a situation where I had a red tinge to objects on my screen, but also red horizontal lines. This was never permanent and only occasionally happened.

    About my most recent problem involving the black screen, I tried taking the battery and holding the switch thing on, but also to take my ram out and put it back again. After that I took the ram out, I turned on the laptop and the screen shows red objects and flashes the screen loading and then black again. I don't know if it was because of the ram or just a coincidence.

    I'm completely stuck on the current situation and would be grateful for all the help I can get. Thank you!

    Hello

    If everything is clear: in your case I would like to connect an external monitor to the laptop. So that you can identify if the problem is related to the screen internal or graphics card.

    In both cases you need professional help, I think the something on the hardware needs to be replaced. Therefore, you must contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and fix it for you it's a little tricky.

    On the Toshiba page, you will find a list of ASP.

  • Satellite L10-333: screen stays black, until I hit the edge of the screen

    I have a Satellite L10-333, which is about 3 years old, it has suddenly started having screen problems.
    It started with a white screen instead of the normal and a black line all downstairs in the middle.

    Now when I turn on the pc, the screen remains black and dead until I hit the edge of the screen and when the screen comes alive, I must hold and press part of the cover, so that the display stays on...

    Anyone know what's the problem?
    I thought it might be a loose wire or connection.
    Someone else has or had this problem?

    Thanks for your help...

    I agree with you. It must be a contact problem. In my opinion, it is not important if anyone else has this problem too and you have to find the solution as soon as possible.
    The laptop must be disassembled and check the connection of the screen. Now the question is what to do. Can you check it alone or you need professional help?

  • Satellite U920T - the screen goes black when you drag the keyboard

    This morning, I turned on my U920T-10 days but the screen remained black.

    At first, I thought the screen was broken, but in mode 'Tablet', the screen became. Now when I slide the keyboard the screen goes black again.

    How can this problem be solved?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a bad connection somewhere between the screen and the motherboard.
    This could be possible reason for failure to display while sliding in and out.

    I guess this can be resolved easily and I think that it is a job for a technician (authorized service provider). I recommend you contact the service technician in your country to get the laptop fixed. I hope that the warranty is still valid in order to repair for free.

    I hope that this can be corrected. I keep fingers crossed.

    Hello

    You can see an image on the external monitor?

    If you see an image on the external monitor, I think that the internal display FL inverter is faulty and must be replaced.
    If the display on the external monitor is black as it seems to be a malfunction of the equipment of the graphics card or the motherboard.

    Check it!
    To repair your laptop, you can go to the authorized service provider nearest. Technicians can repair it for you.
