Satellite M30, screen remains sometimes almost black after start up to several minutes

Satellite M30, WinXP

Sometimes, the screen remains dark, which means that you can see that a little bit news startup in the background and also the Office of windows, up to 2 minutes before suddenly become really turned on.
Not even the latest version of the BIOS has a change. And what's weird, is it still does not appear. A non stop-and-shut-down-start sequence showed that it appears about 2 to 3 times.
What could be the reason?

Hi LeTom,

did you use the os recovery toshiba or a clean install?

It seems that the display shows a fault, then here are a few questions to play safely!

There the failure also occure when the Red Toshiba logo appears shortly after starting start?

If you are using a clean install of the OS, you need to do a complete new installation with the Toshiba Recovery CD (attention all data will be lost, make a backup).
Then, the laptop is set back to the default settings of the software and if the failure occurred, you should check the material by a Toshiba service partner!

I think that the M30 is still under warranty!

  • Satellite C655 - screen is sometimes too bright after hibernation

    Sometimes when I wake up my laptop after sleep or hibernation, the screen will be medium bright/high contrast to the point where I have trouble reading the names of icon on my desktop.

    The only way I found to fix it once it arrives is to restart, then it is fine. He does this from time to time.

    It's quite new, not even a year, so I doubt the backlight went wrong.
    I was wondering if anyone knew why this happens, and if it's something I should be concerned?

    I have a Satellite c655 running windows 7.

    Hello

    To be honest, it's the first time I read about this kind of problems.
    You can change the brightness using Fn + F6 or FN + F7 while this happens?

    But these combinations of FN keys control only brightness and this does not affect the contrast so not quite sure if it s really a problem of setting
    In the worst case that your display may be affected so maybe you should get in touch with a local Toshiba ASP in order to check the internal LCD screen.

  • Satellite L670 - screen remains black after sleep mode

    I recently bought a L670. When I close the laptop, it goes into sleep mode. No problem with that. But when I opened the laptop again the screen remains black.
    I see on the drive activity light that the laptop come out of sleep mode correctly, but the screen remains black.

    I don't have this problem when the sleep mode is only a few minutes. Then the screen comes up correctly.
    But for example after an hour of sleep mode... no screen.

    I'm doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Hello

    I recommend the update to the BIOS and the display driver.
    It helped to solve a similar problem on my old laptop.
    Maybe it helps in your case.

  • Satellite A200 screen remains black when you try to start

    Hi all

    My Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop computer no longer works, then everything started when I was playing a game, all of a sudden the screen turned blue with a tiny text written on it. I had to hold the power button for a few seconds to close, because nothing not happening on the computer. Then, I pressed the power button to open it. Everything was fine, until the Welcome screen. In this part, he wrote 'Welcome' but Vista left loading circle of it was not turning.

    After a few seconds, I decided to shut down the computer once again, so I hold the power button for the computer firm. Here's the problem: I tried to re-open it, but the screen remained black. Nothing was happening. The power light is blue, but not all computer activity. So I left it like that a few minutes then it closed and tried again, but it's the same thing. I tried to take it apart and noticed the card two memory was not entirely in its niche. I fixed it, but it does not solve the problem.

    I also tried to plug another screen on it, but this one was also black. So I handed the screen on his computer and tried to boot my laptop and it worked. He was the starter, but the first problem came, the Welcome screen was frooze it. So yes I close it up and then it's the same thing, the screen remained black.

    I don't think the problem is the screen, because as I said some time it goes to the Welcome screen. Also, I hear no welcome sound when the screen remains black as if the computer would simply not starts. And as I said earlier, I see no activity of the computer on the little light in front of the computer. And to the left of it, I see clearly that the computer is ON, because the power light is blue.

    That is my problem, the next time that the computer is able to start I'll try to boot mode SAFE, but until then, I don't know what to do. Please, help me.

    Thanks in advance,
    MrRoy

    EDIT:
    After the computer is turned off for about 30 minutes, I started and booted in safe mode. At this stage, I have locked my computer with the close button instead on the power button. Then I opened my computer and he started and the problem was solved. Now my laptop is open and working.

    So, if this happens to you:
    1. turn off your computer.
    2. wait about 30 minutes.
    3. start in safe mode
    4. close using istead of now off button power button closure.

    It should work.

    Finally, it does not work. I don't know why, but my computer did start after 30 minutes, but now it no longer works. Only, it will not start as I said later, with a black screen.

    The computer worked for about half an hour. I mean, I managed to start but after running a program, it just froze and I had to hold the power button to restart. I made about 3 or 4 times, and then he was simply the black screen again. I think the problem is my processor, maybe that it is damaged or something, would it possible?

    Because I see that the processor does not work when I try start it.

    So let's say that this is the case, would it be the symptoms of my computer?
    And if it's the processor, the only way to resolve this is to send it to a repairman or something, because I don't feel like it, I'd rather do it myself.

    But now, my computer is simply not starting, as I said in my previous post.

    Thanks in advance,

  • Re: Satellite M - screen remains black

    Hello

    I'm not the most computer savy person, but I know that when I open the lid on my laptop, the screen is supposed to come. Sometimes the screen remains white, but I may here make the sign in his and if I plug it into the TV via the HDMI port it shows the screen works fine.

    That doing so is close, open and close the top several times and hope it works again. This can happen even if it is open and working and I restart the computer.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    It would be very interesting to know which laptop Satellite M you exactly. Maybe you can add this information. ;)

    In addition you have connected any external devices waiting monitor via HDMI?
    If you have the SD card inserted, remove it.

  • 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?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100 (PSAANA-04E005) than just doesn t power up. The power button lights up, but the screen remains black, and you can hear things from fan.

    I tried to remove the battery and running only one AC, tried the recovery disk and everything I could find on troubleshooting, but it s just not work.
    More disappointing is I JUST realized out of warranty - timing is far from perfect...

    Can someone please help with some info so I can get my system back up and running?
    Not too concerned about what was on the hard drive - just that it works again!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    See you soon,.

  • Re: Toshiba L305 Satellite 1) screen is messed up and only start in safe mode

    * HELP! *

    Windows starts only in safe mode or safe mode with network. My screen is messed up (black and gray with horizontal lines and the screen looks like it scrolls continuously).

    I connected the laptop to an external monitor and it still does not start normally and I need to recover contacts from my iphone from itunes.

    Is there something I can do? I really don't want to lose all my contacts! I have to remove the hard drive and it burst in another machine and try to start windows normally to have access to my current drive with all the data that is on it, but I don't know if it works or if it's a bad idea.

    What could be causing the screen get all dirtied upwards and at the same time windows does not start normally? I have never had a virus before problems!

    Help! Thanks :)

    Hello

    > Windows will only start in safe mode or safe mode with networking

    It seems that the bootmanger is corrupt or something like this

    > I really don't want to lose all my contacts!

    I know, I Safe mode, you have access to all data on the hard drive. So, you can move all the important data on USB or on the partition (if available) 2 nd on your hard drive and you don't need to remove the hard drive
    Then you can reinstall Windows with a recovery disc or by using the disk copy of Win. This is the best solution in your case, try to fix windows can take a lot of time as a new installation.

  • Screen remains black after start-up M30X 124

    Hey there...

    I hope someone can help, or at least has the same problem. I read trough this forum but can't find anything similar. Description of the problem:
    After pressing the button 'Start', the laptop is a short sound (HDD - load I guess), and then nothing happens. The screen stays black, no sound at startup, loading, fan, hard drive. The only solution that I have because it is to stop the computer again (by pushing the Start button... 7 seconds), rechargable battery, put it in place and try again. I had this problem for 4 or 5 times now, for two weeks. This issue scares me. This may indicate that something in my laptop will soon die...? !

    Thanks in advance... Welcome, Dero!

    Hello

    This problem occurs with use of the battery or if the device is connected to the power adapter?
    Have you had problems with the battery charging procedure?
    I'm not sure, but I guess there is something wrong with the battery or the electronics of power supply. I recommended to remove the battery for the work with the AC adapter. Try to discharge the battery completely several times.

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the external display?
    If this is not the case, try it. Also check out the switching between display devices with the FN + F5 key combination
    If this does not help, I would pick up the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD supplied. Also try to improve the shape of the Tosh site graphics driver.

    But if it won't work and you can't see anything on the screen so I guess there must be something wrong with the hardware. In this case only the ASP in your country is able to help you.

  • Satellite L500D - screen off sometimes

    I bought this Satellite L500D several months and sometimes the screen goes black. It tends to occur when the charger is not plugged, but the battery is charged to 100%. "Indicators of the system" (the lights that are on when the laptop is turned on) are light and therefore the NumLock key, but whatever the button I push, the screen does light up not until I turn it on then the power button.

    Apart from that, sometimes when I need to recharge the battery, I plug in the adapter but the laptop will continue to emit a beep or will pop up to say that it is connected but does not support messages. She will also be taken 30 seconds to recharge.

    Any ideas?
    Thank you

    Hi nic256,

    Can you please tell us what operating system do you use?

    If you use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba, I think that s a hardware problem and you need help from an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and fix what needs to be covered by the warranty on this new laptop.
