Satellite L855-149 white screen

Hello

For about 6 months now (got a macbook since) when I turn on my laptop the screen becomes white with a gray rectangle faded in the background.

When it first I was in the middle of play Skyrim and it just white. It is not white screen "of death", as the screen is all white. Sometimes has a grey box and sometimes has lines running down the screen. I can never get beyond the screen. Just checking if someone has had the same problem and found a solution before I have to get fixed (warranty 3 months before the problem was missed).

OK just quick advise! try to connect the hollow or external monitor tv hdmi or vga and see how it works if it works fine then could be the fault of the screen or the cable screen broken if its does not work well and you have the same image on an external device then id say video chip is overheating damage or whatever problems comes with like I don't know spec of your pc of video chip intrgrated or dedicated or switchable both, but in most of the missing cheaper if chip to again, some chip actually called technicians resolder (I call warming up) but no guarantee for what he might last for two years or just a few weeks. If the laptop is still under warranty bring it to toshiba for inspecting and fxed.

  • Satellite A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
    After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

    There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
    Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

    Any suggestions?

    PS:

    also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

    Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
    Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
    In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

  • Satellite M70-340 - white screen before windows loads

    I have istalled a new Windows XP on my laptop Satellite M70-340, and after having installed the drivers and the Quick Fix Engineering I restart the laptop...

    The laptop is the auto start and it stopped just before starting the loading (white screen and no disc HARD answer stopped - HDD led lighting-)
    I am able to get into the BIOS and change the boot order.

    I boot from the recovery cd, but it is is stopped with the same blank screen just before his screen should start.
    I boot from the Windows cd, but it is is stopped with the same blank screen just before the blue screen should start.

    I unplugged the battery and pluged in again and the problem continues to be.
    I have restored the defaults in the Bios, but it didn't work.

    Please help me

    You see the Toshiba start screen at the beginning of the boot process?

    I searched this forum for the same problem on M70 but I found nothing didn t.

    But I do remember that one of my friends had a similar question. If the adapter has been unplugged the system locked and the screen is dark.
    It has fixed in powerplay disable in the ATI graphics settings and it didn't put the CPU low speed in Toshiba Power saver mode fixed.

    But like I said this happened only together running the operating system without the AC adapter.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - white screen after login

    Hi, got a laptop off a friend to watch as not start correctly. Vista Edition running Home Premium, it will start up the screen of the user ok but when a user is selected the screen goes white with just the mouse pointer showing (which moves ok on the touchpad). I can press Ctrl Alt Delete and get the blue menu screen - if I try the Task Manager with it it goes back to the white screen.

    I tried a repair of end upward to F8 but said no problems found. I can also start ok in Mode safe without getting a white screen. I tried a high diagnostic of MSConfig startup but still the same. I also disabled all services but still a Virgin.

    I have a secondary partition on the disk with the recovery of HARD drive there, but do not want to reformat. I tried to restore to several different, but restore points remains empty at the normal start screen.
    Someone at - it find it.

    Hello

    Its hardware problem or software.
    Start the laptop in safe mode means that some essential software process would be disabled and the system would use only a few basics of essential equipment.

    So even if the laptop runs correctly in safe mode, it could be a hardware problem.

    That's why I think only with the help of HARD drive recovery would be the best way to know what's wrong here...

    Hello

    I just bought a new (840 EVO 250 GB) SSD for my L855-149 and I would like to reinstall windows 8 on this new SSD. In addition, I would like to migrate all the recovery partitions that are present on the HARD disk plant.

    What is the best way to do it?
    Is there a tool to Toshiba for that? I don't have the installation for Windows 8 diskettes.

    Please notify.

    Hello

    On Toshiba laptops, you can always find a preinstalled tool called creator Toshiba average recovery.
    This tool creates the recovery (disk or flash USB stick) media
    With the help of this recovery media, you will be able to put the laptop to factory condition, including all partitions that were available the first day of the purchase.

    Hello

    I have a M30 (SM30-604) with a white screen. I know that the problem is my inverter Board, but cannot source the right spare part. Any body know where is the best place to get one of these. The serial number of the inverter Board is G7100001111/03XB0176134

    Hello

    In my opinion this extraordinary manufacture parts, you will be able to buy only from the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    Guys are able to order the spare parts directly from Toshiba.
    I think the best way is to contact the authorized service provider and order the Fl of these guys drive there.

    But I give you advice; do not replace all parts if you have no experience. These repair procedures must be performed by a technician.

  • Satellite L855-149 - "no boot device. Please restart.

    Hello!

    Recently, I have been making a mistake on my computer; driver iqle not less or equivalent. The errors were happening maybe once more 2 weeks. Yesterday however, it started happening every hour, then the second, she has restarted since the last crash again.

    Finally windows did not start properly and it came with a recovery menu. I tried everything, except the cloth of hard drive because there's stuff that I need. After a system restore, everything worked, but then it crashed again. This time when I started it went to a black and white screen then reading letters controls the media, checking [fail] media and then no boot device. Restart the system.

    I looked but each video and post is a different error as no found boot device. Insert the disk and press a key. So now, before I lug the PC World and get ripped £ 200 to receive no said that they could not fix the problem, I come to you guys. Please help me! Your My only hope! (A * to make Star Wars reference lol)

    I'll attach some pictures to help you! Thank you!

    Hello

    In general the media error check failure always appears if the BIOS cannot find the boot device.

    In my opinion the various basic scenarios are possible:
    First of all it is possible that your HARD drive is dead and so laptop can not find system
    But this seems strange because in case of BIOS, HARD drive problems would turn to another bootable device as ODD or LAN.

    So a card mother (defective controller for example?) general problem could also be possible.

    To be honest, it of always difficult to establish a fair and definitive diagnosis without verification of the material first.
    Anyway, in my opinion, you should check if the new HARD drive and the new installation of the OS would solve your problem.

    Of course, you can try to start Notepad using a LiveCD bootable disk just to see if you could start Notepad without a fresh install of the OS.

  • Satellite L510 shows white screen with a cursor frozen only

    {color: #000000} After turning on my Toshiba Satellite L510 the splash screen displays an image, then the pass empty with a cursor frozen in the upper left corner.
    I am currently using Windows 7, but the computer will not load in front of the start screen.

    I tried to reboot using the F8, safe mode key, but no response from the computer.
    I tried to restart using the "F2", but no response from the computer.
    I tried to reboot with F12, but no response from the computer.
    I tried to use tips from Toshiba Support page, but no response from the computer.
    I also tried Ubuntu to start loading system, but there is no response from the computer.

    Because there is some personal information on the hard drive that has not been saved, I hesitate to do a system restore in the fear of losing all my data.

    Someone had similar problems recently?
    Anyone has a good solution to retrieve my personal files and restore the computer to a good working order?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    I think that you can't do anything more. In my opinion, you did everything write and now it s time for professional help because it seems to be a malfunction of equipment that should be checked to a service center.

    You should contact the guy and ask for help. I think that everything can be clarified with them.

    In addition, you can access data from another PC. You only need an external HARD drive enclosure that creates an external HARD drive.
    And maybe you can keep the HARD drive at home if the service center don t need.
