Satellite L500 - screen is blank

Off normally last night, when I turned it on today the screen remains empty. I plugged it up to external montior and that works very well, I have only checked in the Manager device and theres no conflict not showing. The screen is not black, it's like the backlight is he more gray work as soon as the computer is turned on. Also, when I try to change the resolution using the external monitor, the screen flickers like its trying to change but he always comes back to gray.

Any ideas? Laptop is only 18 months old with minimal use.

Hi Outkast_IRE,

> I have hooked up to montior external and works fine
It was very good, that you did this because if you check if the problem is related to the internal monitor or graphics card.

Now it s something with monitor internal and it could be the cable, LCD panel itself or something else. More accurate diagnosis is not possible and can be done in an authorized service so you should get in touch with the laptop technicians.

On the Toshiba Web site, there is a list with all FSA. Give them a call or write an email and they will tell you what to do now.

  • Satellite P500 - screen remains blank after updating BIOS 2.90

    I installed the new WOOD update through the station of service and after restart, the screen remains blank (out of service)?

    Any suggestions?

    Hello

    And on the external monitor you see a photo or not?

    In my opinion, something goes wrong during the update of the BIOS, and so the entire computer doesn t start anymore. All updates are pre-tested by Toshiba, so I doubt that only the screen isn't working anymore.

    You should try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter for an hour. Then install the battery and plug in the AC adapter. Make sure the battery is fully charged and then try to start your laptop.

    It's working now?

  • Satellite U400 - screen is blank and gives a beep

    Hello

    I tried to turn on my laptop and the screen is just blank, battery is fine all LEDs light up but it does not start. It beeps every 2-4 minutes.

    Some can help or advise please

    Hey,.

    Generally these codes beeps mean that a hardware malfunction has been detected if you changed something on the hardware configuration?

    If you have installed both memory modules, you must test it with the single module only. Sometimes it happens that the RAM modules are faulty then try it with a module only. Maybe it helps :)

  • Satellite L500 - screen is completely black after stand-by

    I have a L500 and after that my computer is on standby, the tried to reactivate it. Now it will not display anything on the screen its completely black and have no idea of what should happen or do.

    Can anyone help?

    Hey,.

    You see something on a screen? The internal screen is probably defective, so you don t see anything.

    If an external monitor stays black I would try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Then wait at least one or all the night. Now connect the AC adapter and install the battery. Before you turn on the laptop, make sure that the battery is fully charged. Now, try to start your laptop and check what is happening.

    In the worst case it serious hardware malfunction and that means that you would need professional assistance service authorized in your country.

  • Satellite L500 - screen resizing when using the touchpad

    I use the touchpad at the moment because my mouse is dead. When I use the keyboard the screen guard resizing - at the time, I was on this page, the screen went from normal to normal to huge-huge and is of normal size currently.

    It's so frustrating that it doesn't happen when I use my mouse.

    Can someone tell me how to stop the touchpad resize the screen?

    Thank you
    PIP

    Hello

    Do you mean the Internet Explorer screen or what?

    I m not very well what's causing this, but it might be possible that you have activated a touchpad option that could cause this.

    Please check the option in the control panel-> mouse->-> settings (or properties) pointing device
    There you should find the Synaptics touchpad options

    Check if you can find some options that may have an impact on this issue.

    If it please be aware that FN + space keys would change the screen resolution too.
    Maybe you enabled it.

  • Satellite L300D - screen is blank

    On turn on my laptop, I get the Messenger sign and then the screen turns white I think it could be the inverter of the screen itself.

    Also, I can see the light from the screen lights up then go offshore

    any help would be welcome

    The FL Inverter control the backlight.
    If the FL inverter is faulty, the display looks like very foggy.

    I don't know if your display, FL inverter or maybe the card graphic is defective m
    You can check this by connecting the external monitor.
    If the image on the external monitor would be ok, then the GPU is ok and there are only two options: display or FL inverter

  • Satellite L500 - flicker and black screen turns green

    Toshiba Satellite L500-screen color problem; White and black green turn turn pink. When the laptop is turned on after a while, the screen back to normal, but just for a second. Then he turns his back to the Green and Pink for black and white color again. The display also flashes.

    Anyone, please help me.

    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?

  • Change the screen of welcome/opening of session start on Satellite L500

    Hi - just bought laptop for my son (the Satellite L500 - 19 X with Win7 Home) preloaded and getting ready for Christmas.

    The logon screen is the Toshiba logo with a white background. This makes shaded police fall very hard to read which is used for usernames; and the "change user" list after < ctrl alt del > etc.
    What is the name of the file that produced this wallpaper of connection please so that I can replace to make the text legible?

    Note: the same question on the desktop, but this can be avoided by unchecking the box "shadow" in Visual effects & change the wallpaper.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    I googled a little and found this:
    http://www.withinWindows.com/2009/03/15/Windows-7-to-officially-support-logon-UI-background-customization/

    The procedure is a little but delicate.
    You must change the registry.

    -Beginning of registry (Regedit.exe)
    -go to
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------authentication------LogonUI------background

    -Create a new DWORD value named OEMBackground
    -Double-click OEMBackground and set its value data to 1
    -Access register

    This allows you to include the screen background image (jpg)

    In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds, you could include the jpg file.
    The file should be named backgroundDefault.jpg + +.

    Note: info and background folders don't exist by default. You must manually create these records. In addition, the images must be less than 256 KB!

  • 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!
