Satellite L500-1RF - screen is completely empty, not only dark

Hello
Initially, the screen was dark, dim, but not empty.
I tried to reinstall the toshiba software and reset the brightness.
Unfortunately, even after a complete operating system reinstalled, it seems that the real cause is the inverter.

I just replaced the inverter, but the screen is still low.
HDMI works fine.

Can someone expand on it and maybe help him?
Whatever that is would be greatly appreciated, thanks

+ Update to exclude an HDMI cable as the culprit. +
+ Everything else works fine, cables, grfx card, etc. Just something wrong with LCD, Inverter or backlight. +

Hello

Does this mean that internal nor the external screen works properly?
It looks a bit like a graphics card problem.

Are you sure that you have properly connected all the cables?

The external monitor worked before the replacement of the inverter?

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • Satellite L500 - white screen. No attempt to start until the key.

    It is a Satellite L500, which was submitted to a process of recovery. The battery is as flat as possible and does not load.

    Turn on the laptop and the normal BIOS information is displayed with the option to press F2 or F12 at the bottom of the screen. The BIOS is configured to boot from the HARD drive first.

    Left to do his own thing, the screen turns off and nothing happens. A press any and there is no prompt text to touch anything, and the system begins to boot from the HARD drive. She proceeds to start successfully and the laptop runs normally (bar the old battery).

    I have reset the default BIOS and there is nothing, I see that it would otherwise cause.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Maybe it sounds silly now, but it is not easy to understand exactly what is happening.
    > Left to do his own thing, the screen turns off and nothing happens.
    All this occur after the installation of image recovery and first start after the installation of recovery successfully? Or pre-installed OS is already configured and ready for first start?
    >.. and the system begins to boot from the HARD drive
    You see nothing n the screen when this happens?
    > he proceeds to start successfully and the laptop runs normally (bar the old battery).
    After reading this sentence I presume boots OS OK and you can use your laptop. Can you confirm this?

    When you restart the operating system the same occurs again and again?

    Have you tried to reinstall the recovery still image?

  • Satellite L500 - 20 X - switch WLAN does not work after upgrade to Windows 8

    Hello

    I extend my Toshiba Satellite L500 - 20 X for Windows 8.
    Unfortunately, since this update my WLAN switch is no longer working. All function keys work only (switch WLAN) F8 to F7, and F9 (touchpad) is more work.

    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards
    Klaus

    Satellite L500 is not win 8 taken upgrade supported, so I think that the problem is a missing driver or software

    As far as I know to be able to use the keys FN added value package to win 8 must be installed.
    Check another area driver Toshiba notebook series supporting the Win 8.
    Maybe you could use the VAP released for other series.

  • Satellite L500 14 X - Fan switches do not properly under Fedora 12

    Hello people,
    I seem to have the same kind of problems with the fans of speed on my recently purchased Toshiba Satellite L500 14 X and Fedora 12
    The fan turns slowly until the processor gets 37 degrees. Then it runs at maximum speed, and never slowed until the reboot.

    I updated the BIOS to 1.60

    Now, in the Ubuntu 9.10 on the same notebook it WORKS CORRECTLY. When the CPU is hot on 37 or more senior degrees it starts to spin faster and when CPU back to 34 degrees, the fan slows down and works almost noiselessly!

    I tried all the options of the kernel: acpi.power_nocheck = 1, acpi = off, acpi_osi = 'Windows 2006', and so on — nothing has really changed.
    I tried different Fedora kernels, include 2.6.32 - nope...
    I tried to find a reason why it works under Ubuntu and does not work in Fedora 12... But have yet to find something fishy... And I think that the problem is somewhere in the kernel.
    The main difference I see is that on fedora 12 I can not install the proprietary ATI driver, who normally installs on Ubuntu 9.10. It is because of the xorg version in Fedora 12 and seems that we must wait for the next version of the ATI drivers.

    One last thing - in Fedora 12 notebook became hot very quickly and without reasons of course.
    In Ubuntu, it's not so fast and requires CPU load with something serious.

    I don't want Fedora to Ubuntu, just because of this problem of FAN (nothing personal :))) so I need to get this working in Fedora 12)

    Maybe someone faced the same thing?
    Any help much appreciated! :)

    Hey!

    I found the solution. Incredible, but the index is ATI owner driver. As I mentioned previously, the Fedora 12 version of the ati 9.11 driver cannot be installed due to the latest version of xorg.
    I reinstalled my toshiba with Fedora 11, install the driver from ati.com ATI and here us are :) now fans are working properly!

  • Satellite L500-19 x - restore disks does not

    Hello

    I noticed that my Satellite L500-19 x hard drive was on its way so I bought a replacement. I used the tool on the machine to create 2 DVD restoration of re - install the system.

    The restoration seems to run ok, working across two discs etc. It turns out, asks me to remove the media and restart the computer.

    The startup of Windows 7 starts, but for "The Installer applies Control Panel" of the GET and I get a message saying "Windows Setup could not configure Windows to run on a hardware on this computer."

    Someone at - it ideas? I ran the restore a couple of times with the same result. I am rather surprised that the restore CD is essentially useless.

    East - the first time you used recovery disks?
    If your old drive still works somehow try to reinstall the OS using the HARD drive recovery process - [http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm] - just to see if the same thing will happen again.

    It is not easy to say what the problem is there, but maybe by creating discs of some pieces not were not saved on the right place. Who knows?  :|

  • Satellite L500-1WG - Windows Media Player does not display my library

    Can anyone help?

    I have a Satellite L500-1WG, I ripped out the music in my music (the default setting), and it does not show in my media player library. I spent hours trying to figure this

    Hello

    I think you should check the settings of the Windows Media Player library. In Options > library, you can choose the files that need to be monitored. I think you should monitor the folder where you have added music.

  • Satellite M70-340: screen went completely blue or black

    Hello world
    I just bougth a portable Satellite M70-340 and twice tonight screen entered a single color (black once, once blue) and although I could still hear the windows work (I could hear the Windows alert sounds and alerts by MSN mail), the screen went completely blue or black. I assume that the error is caused by a problem of display driver, so I downloaded the latest driver present Intel on this site. I don't know if it will work.

    My question is, did this happen to someone of you? How did you solve this problem? And even though I have an Intel Graphics Media Accelerator Driver for Mobile, I could install the ATI driver on this site? (I prefer ATI driver since it is out of date.)

    Thank you all for your interest,
    Best regards.

    I guess you have mobile Intel graphics card. In this case, you can only use the graphic driver intel from the Toshiba page or are also website of intel.

    But you cannot use the ATI graphics driver! You laptop has ATI No. graphics card!

    However, you suggested that it is a new laptop. I would recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country. The guarantee is valid and you should take it!

  • Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled

    Hello

    I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
    I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.

    Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
    Is this normal?

    Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
    Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
    This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
    Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.

    So I guess it's ok.

    I found the drivers for this series on the European driver Toshiba page
    I put t know why Tempro or a Service Station can not find it, but I could find it.

  • Satellite L500-13D-CD/DVD drive does not read CD

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite l500-137 laptop with vista sp2.
    There is a cd writes that my dvd drive would not read, the driver can read other CDs & DVDs well.
    who says cd's seems to be fine as it can become red from the other computer.

    any suggestions?

    * Thanks to *.

    Hello

    That means only one disc can be read from your laptop and all other disks can be read properly? Well, in my opinion, it could be a disc problem, maybe it's striped s and so it can t be read to all readers.

    In your case, I would try to clean the lens of your CD/DVD drive. Therefore, you can use a microfibre cloth.

  • Satellite L500 - black screen after a reboot manual or automatic

    Hello world

    This has me frustrated for three weeks, but I only just realized it is associated with manual restart or software required.

    My old 6 week L500 laptop refuses display different lights for indiactors on AV - no light on the keyboard, no screen, the fan runs but no disk activity I can hear.
    I managed to drill three times by forcing tap down using the switch hold down, removing battery wait and then start up.

    Earlier today, she decided to put on according to this method, and I was able to quickly jump in and empty my libraries and outlook.pst to a cause external hard drive my business she runs.

    Anyone know a solution to this problem?
    It's the first Toshiba that I have ever owned, and it's really frustrating to have to launch this 4 year old Acer to find a solution to my problem.

    Maybe the problem is Windows 7 but cannot find my way through this place to a response.

    Anyone, please?

    Hello

    You mean the L500 is not unbootable?
    Solution remove the battery and ac adapter doesn't help more?

    Hmm generally this should not happen sometimes the laptop could hang somewhere in the standby or hibernation and the mentioned workaround solution might be an option to wake up the unit

    It is difficult to say what's going wrong here possibly it s hardware related issue
    So perhaps it would be best contacting the local ASP the guarantee must be valid and I think that everything should be done for free

  • Satellite Pro 6100: screen stays completely white or completely white

    I have a Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 running windows XP with SP2.

    For the last time, when you turn it on, sometimes the screen is totally blank and sometimes she is totally white.

    Must shut down the computer and try to reboot, sometimes several times until the computer starts correctly.

    Could you please tell what it is and how to fix it.

    Your answer will be highly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi, Louis

    I think that we should first find out if the problem is related to the graphics card, for the internal display or on the part of the screen!
    In such cases, it s a good idea to connect the external monitor to the laptop.
    Check if the symptoms appear also on the external monitor.

    If the same thing will happen on the external screen so I guess that the computer laptop s video card is malfunctioning. But if the image appears correctly on the screen then the problem could be linked to the internal LCD display or the small part as FL inverter.

  • Satellite A215-S4747 screen does turn off not moored with Dynadock.

    I am now running XP on my new laptop and I am VERY happy that I could find all the necessary drivers. A behavior while also happening is when Vista has been loaded, it is that I could not get the laptop screen turns off when it is docked. I have searched and read and followed the instructions to the letter. I'm not not a newbie lazy posting before search... it just doesn't happen as it should.

    If someone managed to solve this problem, please guide me to the promised land!

    The feature you are requesting cannot be provided by the Dynadock.
    It's a USB-dock worker with a generation of additional graphics card in and no docking solution.
    The only thing you can do is disable any action when you close the lid in power management, then close the laptop screen when it is docked with Dynadock.
    The display is off when you close the display cover.
