• 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 L500-13F (PSLJ0E) - wrong screen resolution

  I have a problem with resolution in my new laptop Satellite.

  This model has monitor 15.6 "and resolution 1366 x 768. In my book since the resolution is 1280 x 800, which means that on my screen, I see a black box on the right side, and I can't see the bottom of the screen. There is no possibility to change the resolution in the graphics options (all available modes are for a 4:3 display and are lower 1280 x 800) - which is strange - the refreshing rate monitor is 58Hz (?).

  More strange is that from time to time (for 3 weeks, it happens twice) after the opening of my laptop, the resolution is correct (1366 x 768, 60 Hz and availble are all the other modes), but after the reboot, the resolution is wrong once again - even when starting.

  I tried to Flash the BIOS, install new drivers, but the problem remains.

  Prayer for all the advice (and sorry for my English)

  Hello

  As you say the laptop supports the 15.6 screen "(HD) with 16:9 aspect ratio and native resolution should be 1366 x 768."

  I have no idea why your resolution change but eventually it s just a graphics driver issue

  As far as I know that the laptop uses the INTEL GL40 graphics chip is it normal?
  In your case I would recommend GPU driver from the Intel page
  Then, you need to install or update the driver in Device Manager
  Simply mark the graphic card and use the Advanced installation, then pointing the driver files

  In the Intel driver for mobility (in Control Panel) settings, you can also change the image format options
  There are 3 different options: maintain the proportions; full screen (without borders); Center Office check all the

• Satellite L500 verticle lines on screen

  There is something seriously wrong with my laptop. I bought this toshiba L500 satellite for my sister a few months ago, and this problem happened since it was purchased. I never discovered the problem until I recently got the laptop for myself. Initially I thought it was something to do with the battery (recently the battery warning came up saying that I needed to replace. He has since disappeared).

  For some reason, the screen randomly between wobbly then turn into colored vertical lines. It happens at random intervals so I can't say when it will happen then and it is not serious what I'm doing on the laptop, it is and the only way I can get rid of it is to force the reboot.

  The thing I want to know is if it's a major problem or something that can easily be fixed? Warranty will cover it or should I start saving for a new?

  > The thing I want to know is if it's a major problem or something that can easily be fixed?
  This could be a serious hardware problem.
  Have you noticed the same vein on the external monitor.
  If so, these lines could be linked to a faulty graphics chip.
  In this case the motherboard must be replaced.

  > Warranty will cover it or should I start saving for a new?
  Well, if the warranty is valid, then the laptop must be fixed free of charge.
  Generally, the standard warranty is valid 12 months from the date of purchase of long

  By the way; Toshiba ASP (authorized service provider) in your country should be able to solve this problem.

• Satellite L500-1XD - why my screen flashes after fashion watches?

  Hello

  After the start from standby mode, the screen is fine for 3 or 4 minutes, and then I notice a fast blink. This becomes worse and worse until I got then to restart the laptop, or put into hibernation and power up again. I tried to gently move the screen to see if the connection is loose, but the screen just keeps blinking like before. The flashing is random, it's like watching the CPU flash light but its my going fullscreen. It seems to happen after the mode 'sleep', it happens every time, but I would say more than 50 percent.

  This happened to someone else? I wonder what I should do next, or the contact person. I've only had the laptop in July!

  Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can offer.

  Hello Anna

  Have you noticed this behavior from the first day?
  You know, sometimes some Microsoft updates can have a negative influence on the standard functions. For a few months, I noticed a strange situation on my laptop satellite. After sleep, I get a stupid error and mouse is dead. I don't have it in the past.

  What you can try is to install the new OS by using the HDD recovery procedure and to test the feature with the factory settings. I am sure that with its own OS preinstalled, everything will be OK. If the problem persists perhaps you should contact the closest service Toshiba.

• 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.

  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 - flicker and black screen turns green

  Hello

  Theoretically the two parties may be affected: Notebok display or graphic card itself.

  Way simpler to check that connects to an external monitor. If the external monitor is ok, the graphics card is affected. Otherwise, the screen of the laptop must be exchanged.

  Is your laptop still under warranty?

• Satellite L500 starts, allows me to connect, and then the screen goes black

  I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500.

  As I am a student in high school, it was a huge and very expensive purchase for me.
  I previously had a Toshiba that served me extremely well, so I was ready to buy a new one, but now I have a problem with it.
  I have a L5000 with operating system Windows 7 Professional.

  Notepad starts end, showing the Welcome screen and allowing me to enter my password, but once the password is accepted, and disappears from the Welcome screen, I find myself with a black screen showing only my mouse pointer.

  If I enter CTRL + ALT + DELETE, the Task Manager becomes visible, but I don't see nothing else UNLESS I select 'explorer' under the processes tab and end process, then re-run the Explorer - then only the home screen becomes visible.

  It's a new laptop - Needless to say I don't want to have to do this every time I turn it on. I should try to restore factory default?
  I'm usually very proficient with computers, but I don't have enough faith to tinker with it.

  Can anyone help?

  Hi Korosuhito,
  It sounds like an infection or a misconfiguration.

  You can try to start in safe mode and search for services that run maybe you can find the "bad guy".

  or (the fastest) is to restore the factory settings
  Make sure the bios is on the 'default' as well

  I think that you have no personal data on this machine in order to recovery is the most simple and quick way!

  If the error after recovery occours made back to your dealer and get another

• 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?
