Satellite M115-S1061 - display problem - bad colors

According to my daughter, his portable Satellite under XP - SP2 suddenly went dim. At first I thought that it would be the backlight inverter, so I got a replacement, but to change that did not make any improvement.

Experiment with display settings it became apparent that a lot of the display of colors were not what they should have been and I started thinking about something had happened to the LCD screen or its wire causing the loss of one of the primary colors for example: Blue however, after restart I have observed a lot of blue in the diplay up to what fully loaded XP.

Display themes and by setting to try to get a useable simple, it became more and more obvious that there is some type of ongoing video inversion.

That said, I can't find any setting that could cause this or any similar report of this disease. I scanned for any viruses and returned only several points without results or imprivement of restoration.

The driver has not been updated, so it there is no possibility of returning to a previous iteration and are looking for a update indicates the current dirver is the last.

In addition, as indicated, during the first boot, the screen seems to be relatively normal brightness and colors are properly...
It is not until the Office XP launch things go astray.

Any help would be greatly appreciated that the school is in session, and I be get this resolved and getting a new laptop!

TIA,
Bob

Hello

> Also, as indicated, during the first boot, the screen seems to be relatively normal brightness and colors are properly... It is not until the Office XP launch things go astray.
From your description, I think that this could be a graphics card problem.

I would really recommend connecting an external monitor, second to this laptop to check if the same wrong colors would be visible on the external monitor.

If the same bad colors will appear simultaneously on the second monitor then the question could be really related to a bad GPU chip

In this case a replacement (motherboard) would be necessary

Bye & welcome

  • Satellite M115-S1061 - how to activate the standby/Hibernation mode

    I recently got a laptop from my father and the settings are a bit strange.

    My modes standby and Hibernate are also well off and due to the lack of a cooling device, it constantly turns off when I leave.

    So whenever I leave, I have to shut down my computer, then restart again and his old fact.
    I need to find a way to get my laptop to activate the standby or hibernation mode so I can't go through this process each time.

    Hello

    The history is confusing for me.
    Just a few questions to the beginning:
    What operating system do you use?
    You use Toshiba power saver or power Windows options?

    If you know that this laptop turns off when you leave why do the restart if you know it goes off even when?

    You let your laptop with no activity, or you leave while an application is running?
    Maybe is related to overheating decommissioning.

  • Satellite 1100 Z6 display problems

    Hello

    I have a Satellite 1100 Z6 and the screen does not appear correctly. It seems to show what I can only describe as a low resolution image.

    I instslled the last card (downloaded at Toshiba) Intel graphics driver and my settings are 1024 x 768 at 60 Hz and I have tried tweeking the settings but without success.

    I believe that the cause is due to an incorrect display driver and not the graphics driver that my display driver shows as a standard 'Digital Flat Panel' under hardware devices. I tried several drivers display different but once again with no luck.

    Anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

    Hello

    Sorry, but I don't see any problem here. Your device has 14.1 "TFT color display. The resolution is 1024 x 768. If this resolution is shown, that there is no problem at all.

  • Satellite M40X Screen Display problem

    My Satellite M40X has a black vertical line which occupies 20% of the screen on the left side. The rest of the screen shows a full view. Change the display settings makes no difference, and there is no mention of this error in the manual. You don't know whether a problem with the LCD screen or a problem with the adapter and drivers. Wanted to check if someone has experienced something similar and can advise you.

    Hello

    Check using an external monitor.

    If the same vertical line would be seen on the external monitor, an internal graphics card problem may be possible
    In this case replace the defective

    Since the GPU is a part of the mobo, you need to replace the motherboard that can be a costly affair

    Hello

    3 days ago, I bought a new Satellite M60-167. Now I have some problems with my screen, maybe it's broken. Whenever the screen resolution changes, I have a few white artifacts (looks like white stripes) in the upper right corner. If I have the black wallpaper there is a grey area that is dark at this angle. Now, I want to know if this is normal or my screen is broken and need to be changed.

    Although it is very difficult to say what may be the problem but I don t think that it s a normal question. It s a new laptop computer, and if you're not sure if it s a default display, or everything you need to bring this unit to your dealer. Check it out!

    Your photo has been damaged due to a hardware malfunction. It could be the card of the camera, card reader/cable USB/USB port, hard drive or memory.

    You will need to run some diagnostic tests to determine the bad component. Try to import photos for different material aid. If possible, bring on a completely different computer.

  • Satellite Pro 4600: display problem

    The laptop overheated (for the previous owner). When I bought it all was going well, but after 2 days (not more), the screen started showing artifacts many and varied, beginning with the Toshiba start screen.

    Can it be cured without changing the motherboard or a Toshiba scored another goal by integrating everything?

    You bought a second hand unit?
    I'm afraid, it seems that you have bought a laptop with the hardware malfunction m

    Well, I think the problem is the graphics card. This could be a previous result of overheating
    But have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?

    In this case, you can check if the same problems appear on the external display.
    If yes--> the graphics card to the Board of Directors must be corrupted
    If not-> there could be something wrong with the screen of the laptop or part of the screen

  • WebView weird display problem (of colored rectangles) - Debug Mode

    Hello

    I had a problem with a JavaFX Webview.

    Everything loads fine, but each element in the DOM of the page (including the body) is overlaid with a rectangle of color random when hovered.

    After a few seconds the entire page is makes it unreadable and only a weird mix of colors.

    It works without problem in the whole of JavaFX example, so I think that it is not a problem of javafx, but I am doing something wrong somewhere else in my application.

    The initialization code is the same as in the example:

    webview = new WebView();
    previewStage.getChildren().add(webview);
    
    final WebEngine webEngine = webview.getEngine();
    webEngine.load("http://www.google.de");
    
    

    Thought it might be a problem of style sheet, but I removed all the style sheets and it looks always the same.

    I have attached some pictures of what it looks like.

  • Strange problem with Toshiba Express Media Player on Satellite M115-S3094

    I am facing a strange problem in my Toshiba M115-S3094, which has been pre-installed with Windows XP Media Center edition and which also had the Toshiba Express Media Player.

    I had already done a clean install of Vista on it, and then I decided to go back to XP with my recovery DVDs. I did the same procedures of first installation Express Media Player to backup (that I did when I bought the laptop) and then installing Windows XP DVD de Toshiba Recovery XP.

    The steps included:
    1 deleted recovery Express media player disk partitions
    2. installed express media player
    3 extracted Xp Recovery DVD, by selecting 'Recover without changing the Partitions' (there is no expert mode)

    Everything was fine (i.e. installation)... But now, after the turning off my laptop I press the Express Media Center button, the logo "Express Media Player" appears on the screen after loading of closures of laptop for 5 seconds.

    I tried to open it again and again, but the logo is displayed for 5 seconds and then my laptop stop...

    Laptop works fine when I connect to windows by pressing the power button / stop.

    Can someone help me on this strange question... ?

    Hello

    The whole story is a bit confusing
    First of all, I would like to know if your laptop is already preinstalled with the Media Express Player and if you were able to use it on your laptop in the past.

    Now something about the Express Media Player installation;
    In order to use the media functions Express the Mediaplayer Express Recovery CD must be performed before performing the recovery from the recovery DVD-ROM products.

    In addition, on the HARD drive should at least 150-200 MB of free space available.
    This free space must be on the end of the HARD drive and there must be unallocated. To get these free space on party products 3rd HARD drive should be used as Partitions Magic 8.

    I m not 100% sure that on error ID system badly but maybe it corresponds to the DMI evil information stored on the motherboard. If we're not DMI, you will not be able to reinstall Express Media player using the recovery media express CD.
    In the DMI must be set properly the manufacturing: Toshiba, product name: for example by Satellite M115-S30

    Finally and most importantly, I found this thread useful forum on the Media Express recovery procedure:

  • The satellite M60 display problems

    Hello

    I bought a satellite M60 a month ago, and since then, I've been strugling trying to solve a problem that has to do with the display (ATI 700 X mobility).
    When I play some games (the dawn of war, Unreal tournament...) the computer freezes completely, I actually have to force stop it to restart.
    Another problem, that I have seen is with Mixmeister Pro 6, the video playback is erratic, it is as if the computer is unable to handle any overload.

    I tried the upgrade of drivers, nothing works, then I installed the third party Omega drivers, but once again, nothing to do.

    Since the purchase of the M60, I had to correct problems of Wirless and PCMCIA card through driver updates, but there is nothing that I'm be able to do to resolve this display problem.

    I am quite convinced it's a driver issue, but then again, nothing is certain.

    If anyone can help me please I'm getting desperate.

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why it happens but one of my friends has sometimes even appearance but on another unit. If he plays a high-performance games unity cling.
    In my view, this could be a heating problem. Playing games is hard work for the laptop, because all parts (bars of memory, processor, graphics card, etc.) work with max performance and produce a lot of heat. Most laptops are not developed for this.

    However, you should always use the graphics driver from Toshiba. I found the latest version of 15/07/05. It is a display 8.121.050.322A driver. In addition, you must install latest DirectX. I think that it s a 9.1. Check whether the fixes for these games are available.

    Second, if video playback is erratic, it seems that the OS is fully committed.
    In this case, you should check the processes that run in the background of the operating system.
    In addition, try to defragment the HARD disk
