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?

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 C660D 15F

    Hi guys,.

    I have a big problem with my laptop. When I started to-go from sleep - two days ago I heard the computer starts normally but the screen remains black. No mater how many times I tried to restart, the screen shows nothing, no message no picture. The normal operation of the side light remains on but the keyboard lights stay offshore. I can hear the computer normally (the fan etc..).

    I tried to hit SHIFT F8 start buttom on the first night, and the image was on the first attempt when I started the machine and everything seemed normal again! The next few days, I got a black screen once more and the case never worked again, no matter how many times I tried.

    Can someone help me please get out of this mess? Has anyone had a similar problem? How do solve you?

    My machine is now exactly four years.

    Thank you very much for your ideas! I really need to access some files on there!

  • Corrupt BIOS V5 531 Acer black screen after startup, f2 and f12 also. Repairable?

    Hello

    Yesterday I tried to install Win 7 if I could play D & D Neverwinter on Arc after using * nix systems study (looking to start a career as an administrator). I had plugged into a power strip that was, unbeknownst to me, turned off and I went to make coffee and watch some news. When I came back to check the progress of my laptop was powered off and since then I havn't been avle start without being blocked at a black screen after the start page of the bios. The f2 and f12 also leads to a black screen, I can not change the boot device or enter the bios Setup.

    Is - fixable at all? For example, is the a key-combo, I can use it to restore from a backup bios? Or, do I have to bring in a technician who can install a new chip bios or flash this old some how? Or did I brick pemanently my device?

    V1.22 is what you want to be part of a unit of Windows 7.

    The problem is if it crashed during the upgrade process, it will take some special tools clearly on the chip on the MB and recharge it with a new BIOS. I would contact your local support team to see what options are available.

  • My Satellite L505D goes to a black screen after startup

    It seems to boot up properly and everything. It starts Windows 7 and goes to the user selection screen, but since there is only 1 user, it only says: Welcome to the loading circle. But when he tries to load the page office or home or whatever you call, all that happens is the mouse.

    I can move the mouse normally, my anti anti-virus pop ups see the place if necessary. On my last attempt to try to solve the problem, I got my user to open the file, but has happened automatically. I tried taking the battery twice thing. If any ideas on why the screen just looks like a black screen and the mouse visible.

    PS: I use the keys ctrl + alt + del function to get these options appears.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to understand why all this is happening, but what you can try is to start the operating system in safe mode and roll back the OS to an earlier time to see if it works.

    Can you please try this and post comments.

    Do as a first step. Later, we see what can be done.

  • Satellite C660D (PSC1YE) black screen after BIOS update

    I tried to update my Bios on my Satellite C660D portable (psc1YE) last week (big mistake).

    Something went wrong during the update and now when I power on I just get a black screen (LEDS and fan).

    After reviewing, the conclusion is that I damaged the BIOS that must now be blind flashed.
    So I got the hand on a 512MB memory stick, formatted using FAT through windows XP and used Wincris to create a startup disk after you have added the file bios.rom (renamed Bios.wph) which I extracted the last update of the BIOS on the Toshiba site.

    My memory stick has three visible files on it, Phlash16.exe, bios.wph and minidos.
    I plug laptop with battery, DVD player and power disconnected to stick, and hold Fn + B re-connection cable cable, turn it on.

    The fan whirs at full speed, and the USB lights up and flashes then for a minute, as if being read. No matter how long I let on, the fan will continue whirring and the USB is on and when I unplug and put in still works a black screen.

    I tried different sticks, (up to 4 GB with FAT32 format), programs of different startup (for example, the HP utility) drive but still no luck.

    Can someone tell me what I do wrong? I tried to look for a newer version of Phlash16 just in case that was the problem, but can not find one any where (mine is version 2008)

    All advice would be greatly appreciated even if it's just to tell me that I'm wasting my time because the pc is not repairable.

    I can't tell you if you waste your time or not because I n know if the motherboard ROM module is OK or not

    In most cases, it should be possible to reflash the ROM module using the BIOS crisis disk but this disc is available to authorized Toshiba service technicians and as much as I know reflash this methods is not always the same

    However, in some cases it might be possible that the mobo could not be fixed by disk crisis, it would be the worst case

    I recommend you to contact a certified maintainer Toshiba to check guys would be able to use the crisis disk and could test whether its possible to reflash the module ROM
    Is it not would be not possible well in this case you would need new motherboard :(
    But lets hope do ' t you need...

  • Satellite A215-S7422: black screen after ATI driver installation

    Please help me. I buy the Toshiba Satellite A215-s7422 laptop and install Windows XP.
    After that I have download the driver for ATI Radeon x 1200 and install. After you reload a see black screen.

    Hmmm on which site did you download and install the ATI graphics card driver?
    The laptop seems to be produced and designed for the American market. That's why drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba site we!

    In any case, this problem seems very strange. In my opinion, you used everything simply wrong driver.
    Try to start in safe mode using the F8 key at the beginning of the startup procedure and remove the graphics driver.
    If this does not help, try to install the operating system using the Toshiba Recovery CD!

  • Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

    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

    You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

    If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

    Check this box!

  • Satellite L350D - 11K: black screen after downloading the Tempro updates

    After removing the battery, the system starts up, but now it has a black screen and I don't know what to do.
    Pressing any key F doesn't show any results and I have no recovery CD.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Thxxx in advance

    Hello

    I don't know why it happened, but if the short workaround solution posted by boarder will not help, so I see good opportunities to contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

    > During the last update, it was an update of the firmware, the system crashed, and it no longer starts.
    You're talking about the firmware update
    Maybe it was a BIOS update which failed and so the laptop will not start again
    As already said in this case that only the ASP technician could help you.

  • Black screen after startup (no home screen)

    I was just with the Firefox browser, looking for patterns (no piece, first... use airplane mode and not wifi) and when I clicked on the cog icon in Firefox the buggy device. He showed me a message saying that the home screen has crashed. Now the device boots (displays the logo of LG, the animated Fox, my carrier logo (Vivo, of the Brazil) and Firefox OS logo, but it goes to a blank screen (it is actually a black screen with high bar appearing, showing that it is on that plane and battery.) If I press the home button (or hold it) the phone vibrates, but nothing happens. If I pressed the power button a menu appears with: "Turn airplane MODE" (which is annoying because it is already on, but if I choose what to disable), "Silence incoming calls", "restart", "Power Off". There is the option "Cancel". Each of them works, but I don't know what to do.
    Oh, I tried to bring together the power, them increase the volume and the buttons on the home screen when the phone is off, but nothing happens. It turns when I release the home button. In addition, the volume and lock (or power) buttons works and change the volume / locks the phone...
    What should I do?

    The phone is a LG Fireweb, bought in the Brazil.

    Update, I tried to discount backwards, looks like you need the power, the House hold and volume KEYS until the LG screen appears, then release them. Worked well after the reset (so far).
