• iMac G3 tray charger stuck on the gray screen with question mark flashing folder

  I recently bought an iMac G3 (charger tray, 333 MHz, M4984) and when I try to boot from an OS installation disc 10.3, there will remain only blocked on the gray screen with folder flashing with the question mark. Not only it does not maintain the keys C or Option, but it will not start up any combination of keys, such as resetting the PRAM or the NVRAM. It just starts and stays on the screen with the flashing folder does nothing. It CAN read the keyboard, because I can turn on the computer with the keyboard, it just won't start to the top of any disk or any combination of keys. Any ideas on what could be the problem? I just replaced the hard drive, but it was the same before I replaced the hard drive as well. In addition, the iMac had apparently OS 8.6 installed on it when it came, and I think I need to move to OS 9 and do a firmware update before you install OS X (correct me if I'm wrong), but I can not do because the iMac does start not in general of any combination of keys. Thanks in advance, any help is appreciated.

  It took charger slot, but I think that optional for the bin.  I think that you can upgrade the firmware with 8.6 for trays.

  You may need to reset the PRAM and NVRAM and Mac's Open Firmware. Stop the Mac, then it turns on and before the screen lights up, quickly down the command, Option, P, and R keys, until the Mac rang twice more after the power to chime.

  Then, before that lights up the screen, hold down the command-Option-O-F until the Open Firmware appears. Then enter these lines, and then press return after each of them:

  Reset-nvram

  Reset-all

• Re: Satellite L500-19 X - screen keeps going black

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 19 X and continues to go to the black screen.

  When you start the computer it flashes briefly until start / Boot screen properly before going black right now. Sometimes, the image is displayed correctly for 3 or 4 minutes before also black.

  If you hold down / tilt the screen under a strong light you can see a preview of the ghost of what should be displayed and if you connect an external monitor to the external monitor works fine and you can see a black ghost of what is on the external monitor on the laptop screen.

  I tried to reinstall the drivers, but it had no effect.

  Do you think I should replace the screen inverter Board or just reconnect the connectors screen?

  Thank you very much for your advice.
  Concerning

  Al

  Hello

  First to solve this problem, you must disassemble the laptop.
  I put t know exactly the procedure step by step for the L500 series but this procedure isn't very easy disassembly and you could damage other parts.

  Back to the question.
  It seems that the graphics card is OK and the problem is with lighting.
  Satellite L500 was equipped with a FL inverter Board and LCD joint (no backlight).
  The FL inverter controls the level of backlight screen s and I think that in your case, this part is defective.
  To resolve this problem, he needed to remove and replace the s FL inverter.

• Satellite L500-1WP - higher screen resolution than HD?

  Nice day!

  I use Toshiba Satellite L500-1WP. I bought a new monitor Dell U2711 with max resolution 2560 x 1440. I tried to connect this monitor to my computer using a HDMI cable, the video card identifies the monitor as a HDTV and made max resolution 1920 x 1080 possible.

  Is it possible to do these 2 works as well as the resolution, I need (2560 x 1440), or I have to buy a new computer with DVI-d port?

  Hey Buddy,

  You should check the user manual here, I founded an information that the computer can display up to 2048 horizontal and 1536 vertical pixels at up to 16 million colors.

  So for me, it looks like you can use the native screen resolution of your external display t but normally 1080 p should be pretty good. :)

• Satellite L500 - 20 X - screen problems

  Hello

  first of all, I would like to apologize for the case that I couldn't be very good to use this forum. I'm new and have never used any before support forum. And English is not my mother tongue.

  I use a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 20 X. For some time, the performance of the screen got worse. All started with interference bands who were there for a second or two and then vanished again. Now, I have to put the screen at an angle to get a decent picture, at all. If I didn't, there is interference stripes all the time.

  What I have gathered, it seems that the display cable is most likely the cause. So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

  Thanks so far!
  Vargskinn

  So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

  As I know there is only one flat cable which is connected to the screen, as well as the motherboard.
  But I can't say for sure that the cable is the troublemaker... it could be the cable problem, but that's just an assumption...
  In any case, I think that the laptop must be disassembled in order to know if it's really a problem of cable and a disassembly of the laptop can be very difficult if you have no instructions detailed step by step.

• Satellite L500 - 19 X - screen turns white (white light)

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 19 X, and my screen is not working properly. When I turn on the computer, the screen turns off, but it gets lightened, it becomes white.
  The external VGA output works fine, I have no problem with an external monitor.

  I already changed the flat cable (Flex) that goes to the screen, but I got the same results.
  Can someone help me? What could be the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Graphics card is correct because you said that the external monitor is working properly.
  So I guess that screen internal or the FL inverter is the troublemaker.
  But that's just a personal opinion, I think that you will need to test the two parts

• Satellite L500 LCD replacement screen (PSLJ0A - 01 K 013)

  Hello

  I need to replace the LCD for my Satellite L500 PSLJ0A - 01 K 013, but I have trouble finding a LCD 15.6 "appropriate. I am trying to find online, but it seems that the Web sites that sell screens LCD do not have my laptop model. It will be the same for all the series L500?

  Thank you.

  > Will it be the same for all the series L500?
  I think so. If you compare your L500 with other models (different number of PSxxxx) the difference is available from hardware such as CPU, GPU, ability to drive HARD, perhaps, ports, but in general, the LCD is always the same.

• Satellite L500-1XJ - black screen after startup

  We have a portable Satellite L500-1XJ that our 3 year old got to and pressed the buttons on the key board. Now when you turn it on the screen gives aflicker then rest dark.
  I tried FN + F5 and FN F7 to see if it was passed to the external screen or brightness was rejected, but makes no difference.

  Do you have advice as to how I might be able to solve the problem?

  > Now when you turn it on the screen gives aflicker then remains grim. I tried FN + F5 and FN F7 to see if she was reactivated on the external screen or brightness was turned down but
  > makes no difference.

  It looks like serious problems with the related material to the mobo (vga). You can access Bios at startup, or the display is just dark? External monitor is connected to the laptop?

• Satellite A100-906 - black screen with a cursor

  Hi all

  There is a problem with my Satellite A100-906:

  After having lit - Toshiba page appears - that the loading Windows XP page - more than a black screen with a cursor (the touchpad moveable)... and nothing more.

  That's what I tried without success:

  Detach the battery for over an hour
  Start the computer with battery detached
  Change the default BIOS settings
  Start in Safe Mode - the same black screen with 'safe mode' legends in the 4 corners of the screen.

  Please help with this.

  Hello

  According to your message, the screen of the laptop BIOS is visible and also the Windows screen.
  I think that it s not a hardware problem but a software problem.
  Maybe your operating system is confusing until you think about using the Toshiba Recovery disk and to restore the system?
  I mean you already tried the passage without danger and she didn't so in my opinion, the next step should be the new installation of the OS

• Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem.
  So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor.
  Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.

  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

  Good luck

• Satellite L500-164: 15.6 "does not appear fullscreen in games

  Hello

  I recently bought the L500-164 and installed Windows 7 64-bit. Everything works perfectly, just a thing which annoys me incredibly.

  Whenever I play a game (Counterstrike, Warcraft3, Warsow, soldier) is a big black band on the left and right, so basically the screen of the game resembles a quadrat. I saw even more on my old 15.4 "laptop, because he was able to view as wide screen.

  I installed the new catalyst, but is not possible within the REC to enlarge the screen of the game for the full amount...
  I really want to solve this problem and I hope for your help.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution and I think that you didn t set the resolution of the screen to the right. As far as I know the Satellite L500-164 has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. did you choose this resolution?
  If you choose another resolution that uses another format, you have these bands on the left and right sides.

  In addition, you must use the Toshiba display driver directly. Other drivers are not pre-tested and don t have protection against overheating.

• Function key on Satellite L500 causes Blue Screen Of Death

  OK, I have a Satellite L500 and I got it in December 2009. Since I got it, if I ever press the function key the BSOD appears and the computer restarts. I put t in particular use the key function often, but it of just in case I press the wrong button and it s a nice feeling not not to have a button of computer laptop-suicide haunts my keyboard.

  Also if I decide to close the laptop completely and turn it back on at a later date, it of likely that it will be displayed as well. I have no idea as to why this is, but any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you very much

• Re: Satellite L500 - cut wire screen

  Please help, when I closed my laptop Satellite L500 I smelled electrical, reopened and the screen is black.

  I took it to a mechanic and he told me that he thinks that the cable/cord that connects the screen to the keyboard has stopped running through the hinges. He actually told me that he had the same problem on the same model specifications 2 weeks earlier.

  He said that without opening upward and looking (which cost $250 immediately!) he couldn't be sure. My warranty missed 6 months ago. Any ideas?

  > Any ideas?
  Is that there is hardware problem and should be checked. I know it's expensive, but you can try to contact other services and see if they can do the same job for less money.

  You can now use your laptop?

• gray screen with the pointer to the login screen

  Sometimes when I boot my iMac 11.2 I have a gray screen when I only have my mouse pointer.

  If I click where my user picture should be and then type my password I can log in, if I want my power button down for one second until the display sleeps and press a second time to wake up all displays as it should.

  It started after the upgrade to yosemite to el capitan, I did an MSC and pram reset as a co-worker suggested and it helped for a little while, but according to apple, I need to update my firmware, so I checked the page on EFI and SMC firmware downloaded iMac (21.5 inch, mid-2010) iMac11 2 IM112.0057.03B (2015-002) and it wouldn't let me install it because it is the mavericks... I currently have Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B03.

  do I expect that apple updated the page?

  I have the same problem with getting the security patch to block a malicious terminal command can not install it because it is intended for an operating system more low version x.

  From time to time on a power off boot, I see the same behavior with El Capitan (10.11.2) on an iMac of 17.1%.

  Turning the power on and turn it on again it hardens immediately.
