Satellite M305 series screen flashes constantly

My screen has been flickering almost constantly from about 2 days ago.

I am open to ANY suggestion because really, I don't want to have to buy a new computer or a screen.

Please and thank you.

Hello

What do you mean exactly?
The display backlight turns on and outside?
Have you noticed the same problem using an external monitor?

Updating the graphics driver, what would you say? Have you tried that?
If this isn't it!

  • Equium A60: display screen flashes constantly

    My A60 is not so old and after 20 minutes after ignition, the screen flashes constantly for about 10 minutes then stops then starts again. I thought that maybe it's something to do with the computer over heating, but its not even hot and the fan is not blocked. Any Suggestions? Also seems to take ten minutes to load up, which seems to long for a 2.8 GHz machine or is this normal?

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hi aleeg81, it sounds like the power of the backlight may be suffering from malfunction any or there is a loose video connection. Have you tried to adjust the options and the brightness of the screen to see if it improves things to save energy? If the problem persists and your laptop is under warranty, I would recommend send to Toshiba for investigation. Twinkle is not normal and should not be tolerated if your laptop runs hot or not. Windows should not take 10 minutes to load or perhaps you need to remove and change a few things to improve this, see: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=8355

  • Screen flashes constantly on iTunes store

    When I play my iTunes on my Windows 7 computer, that is fine, but as soon as I connect to iTunes Store, the screen flickers constantly, I've never had this happen before and I was wondering if it was a problem that I can sort?

    You should be able to solve this problem in re - download iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ 12.3.2.25 and re-install.  The iTunes Store/flickering screen flashing was present in the original version of this release (since 9 December), but Apple slipped out a re - build (unfortunately and wrongly with the same build number) on December 23/24, which seems to fix most / all users.

    There is another question - peut-related - which affects display iTunes on very high resolution screens.  Everything first, that appears in iTunes 12.3.1 but is not fixed yet, although it may be mitigated by reducing the size of the iTunes window.

  • Satellite E45-B4200 - screen flashes black

    Hello

    every now and then my laptop screen starts to blink several times.

    When he started a few weeks ago, it would be short, quick, a few blinks of black color.
    Now, the problem persists, whith the flashing more and more frequent and and blackouts are longer.

    My laptop is Satellite E45-B4200 on Win 8.1.

    Could you please help?

    The same symptoms are visible on the external screen?

    If not, the malfunctioning of the internal display would be responsible for the short and fast flashing.

    Otherwise, if the same is visible on the external monitor, the graphics card might be the troublemaker.

    Hi all

    I have Windows 8 is installed on my Dell Inspiron laptop. I use for a year.

    But suddenly, Mozilla Firefox no longer works . It's why I upheld the same in Windows Firewall List.Then, I restarted the PC.

    Then came the real problem.

    Please help me solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hi Jaanuadi,

    You can perform a restore of the system to a previous point when everything worked well. This will cancel the changes made to the list of Windows Firewall and will allow you to work on the computer without problems.

    Because at the start normal, the splash screen does not perform any action because of the flickering screen, I suggest you to boot to the Windows recovery environment using the installation disk of Windows 8, or if your laptop has a built-in recovery partition recovery partition boot and restore the system from there.

    Reference:

  • Satellite M300 - screen flashes white

    Toshiba Satellite M300 on 18 months old (using Windows 7). Display has had intermittent problems. Screen flashes to a white screen. Now if the lid is moved while he was working, "white" screen completely and returns to normal when returned to 'the sweet spot '!

    Have not yet tried another monitor. Driver is up-to-date. Assuming that maybe it's a "bad connection". Use turned off with the closure of the lid that changed tonight.

    Any ideas? :)

    Hi KezRev,

    Theoretically, it could be a problem of connecting cable or internal problem display but you should test another monitor first. Just connect an external monitor to check the image here.

    If the external monitor works properly it s the LCD cable internal or visualize a malfunction. So, contact a service provider and allow technicians to check your laptop. They can fix this problem and order new parts. :)

  • Screen flashing in Satellite L500D

    Welcome!

    I have a laptop Toshiba L500D. For about two weeks, something is happening with my laptop. Laptop is turned on and when I open the lid, or closed, the screen flashes, change colors, you can see the different bands in black and white or in color, usually the screen is distorted.

    This happens when the cover is at an angle from 0 to 90 degrees, when there is more than 90 degrees, then it is not the case.

    Probably something not going under the screen of the laptop on the hinges. Only way out is a service?

    It is a film in which this problem is presented.

    Please answer

    Hello

    Yes, I agree with you that there may be a problem with the connection.
    But it of not possible to say exactly what's wrong.
    It may be something wrong with the sensor that turns the backlight on and off, or maybe something wrong with one cable

    There is no other choice for that pick up if the guarantee is available (it should be valid 2 years long if the laptop has been saved) then should be set the laptop for free.

    Good luck

    Hello
    I have a toshiba A100, Go 7600 Gpu, just bought there is two weeks and im very pleased with the quality and performance far :), just noticed one thing today, the room was turned off and the laptop turns off with the screen in open position, I leave it open normally when at home, I noticed that the screen flashes as fixed every 1 min in what appears to be an interval of time with or without AC connected, not a flash very bright but not easy to notice, but I'm sure the flash, so my question is should I worry about this?

    Hello

    What do you mean with the screen? The LCD internal? Maybe you didn t stop the machine itself.

  • Satellite L100 series starts the error message

    I have a Satellite L100 series PC laptop I've had for a few years now and he's got a problem. When I boot it it goes as far as the windows loading screen then flashes blue for a mili second then restarts. I try to start safe mode, and it produces a long list that has the following text:

    Multi (0) Disk (0) rdisk (0) partition drivers then sys various titles of files. After that it appears for a minute or two then restarts again.

    I searched the web to find what is the problem and the general answer that I can find is that the hard drive is faulty. I also found that the BONE may need to reinstall I try first before buying a new hard drive.

    My question is this:

    Can anyone confirm that this is the hard drive which is a failure?
    If Yes, is this the right hard drive for the L100 series laptop PC: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/145130

    Any help is very appreciated.

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    Yes, it could be that the HARD drive is faulty.
    So I would check this with a special tool.

    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

    Good bye

    Hello

    I agree with the user above. First of all, please check this work around on cable, graphics card, etc.

    By the way: what display driver you have installed right now? Sometimes I read here in the forum that no Toshiba display drivers problems, so I recommend you to install the latest version of Toshiba directly.

    Last but not least with an external monitor, you can check where the problem is: either internal monitor or graphics card but I think that, in both cases, you need assistance from an authorized service provider to swap the part.
