Satellite M30x-165 - screen is black

Dear all,

Unfortunately, my screen is black.

Whenever I start my laptop / notebook my screen (display / monitor) is black.

I can't use my laptop because I don't see anything. The system works.

Why does this happen?
What can I do against it?

I'd appreciate any help.

Best regards
JJ

Hi JJ,

A friend of me had the same problem on his Satellite M30x too. He didn t see an image on the monitor internal but external monitor works properly.
Also, do you have plugged an external monitor to the laptop? You see an image on the external monitor?

However, after testing an external monitor that works, he replaced the internal screen FL inverter and the laptop working again properly. :)

If t, you can see an image on the external monitor too, it seems to be a hardware problem, maybe the card mother or something else.
You can access the BIOS?

  • Satellite M30X-165: Mat * a UJ - 831 S is not read and write any DVD

    Hello

    the next problem is sticky on the laptop Satellite M30X 165 with the burner Mat * a UJ - 831 S: it can read and write CDs, but is not able to write them to DVD or even read some of the ones I've burned and also read in the same drive. Even at the start of the DVD, it does not start from the recovery DVD, the player starts and slows down very quickly.
    Without doubt, it must be put at the service of repair or someone has other suggestions?

    Could you please tell me how long the repair takes (I know what it takes to install the desktop temporarily used).

    Thank you

    Using burning software, it detects the DVD, but invite you to an "error of calibration power (037303).

    Hello

    If you cannot use recovery media, I guess that the drive is defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite M30x-165: OpenGL in the graphics driver is old

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30x-165.
    I downloaded and installed the latest drivers from the page Web of Toshiba.

    When I check the version of the OpenGl driver it says that the version is 1.5.4454. Recently, I heard that this version is very old and may cause some problems with certain programs.

    The computer does not install the downloaded driver directly from ATI Web page.

    How can I update the version of OpenGL?

    Thank you well in advance.

    Greetings,
    Argonis

    Hello

    The M30X isn't the new laptop series and therefore the graphic driver seems to be not updated to the latest state
    Graphics drivers that are released in the Toshiba page are designed especially for Toshiba laptops and there is a big difference between the Toshiba and the drivers of the ATI page. So it's not easy to install the ATI drivers on laptops OS.

    But there is one thing; first of all, you can unzip the package and then you could try to update the driver through Device Manager. Here, you point to the folder decompressed driver to update the graphics driver.

    This allows you to install non-Toshiba divers would help the Toshiba notebook.

    But note; These drivers are not certified for the use of the laptop and so you can ONLY use and YOUR OWN RISK.

  • When I start my Satellite A300 the screen remains black

    When I turn on my Satellite A300, the screen remains black and doesn't change at all... Any help please?

    If the problem persists, I don't see any sense to start this thread because people don't understand what the problem is.

  • Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

    Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

    Hello

    Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

    BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

    You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

    See you soon

  • Satellite M30X - 165 Win XP Pro SP2 sound does not work

    on my Satellite M30X 165 I simply get no sound output, if I look in Device Manager I see installed Realtek AC97 audio drivers but if I look at the Menu "Sounds and Audio devices" I see "No. Audio Device" in Control Panel, I use the Realtek drivers you can get from the Toshiba Homepage , the file is called sound-sm30-xp - 51005620.zip everyone has an idea? It's a freshly installed system not exceeding 4 Application installed at all (not even the bureau installed yet)

    If it's any help I have 2 unknown devices "PCI Flash Memory" and I don't know what it could be for I have no pcmcia cards connected and nothing more except Lan and mouse / keyboard.

    Noise appears on the recovery image installed Toshiba?

    If Yes, I assume that you have installed the operating system from the Microsoft CD and Toshiba drivers and utilities in the wrong order or some drivers are missing.

    But maybe the his doesn t appear due to the installation of SP2.
    I read in the Sp2 installation documentation (found on the Toshiba driver page) that maybe the Yamaha AC - XG driver sound 6.13.10.2152 must be installed.

    Anyway, please check this possibility.

  • Satellite a200-1sv screen remains black at startup in Vista

    Hello

    We have a problem with Toshiba Satellite A200-1sv my girlfriend: when we started, most of the time, the screen remains black, while the computer starts: after awhile, we can hear the sound of windows (vista).

    In addition, if connect us another screen of the computer, it displays the scheduled start screen. In order to use the computer, it must launch a few times... The support guy where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we cannot do something".

    Can we do something?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ju

    I have to smile to read this message
    Mainly, this statement is funny;
    > The support guys where we bought the computer told us "the computer is not compatible with Vista, we can't do something."

    I think that this laptop has been delivered with the Vista operating system. So why the guy said that the laptop is not compatible with Vista?  :| …. that's nonsense.

    First the A200-1SV belongs to the PSAE6E series and it s fully Vista capable.
    Secondly, like you say the external screen displays home Toshiba screen and so I guess that's just a matter of adjustment.
    What you can do is to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between display devices.

    If it doesn't help to try to put the laptop back to the factory settings using the Toshiba Recovery CD!
    In this case, the new OS, driver and tools will be installed and then everything should work fine.

    Good bye

  • Satellite P100 - the screen goes black

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P100 and randomly, the screen goes black but the system continues to operate. I downloaded the latest drivers from toshiba, all power options the maximum support, run ccleaner and driver Sweeper to remove the old entries driver, re-installed the login screen of the mobo and nothing seems to work.

    The screen goes black sometimes when using windows but STILL turns black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Model: Toshiba Satellite P100-PSPA6A-02NO21
    Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo T7200@2GHz
    GPU: Nvidia Quadro nvs 510 m
    Chipset: Intel i945PM
    HARD drive: Fujitsu 148GB
    RAM 2 GB
    Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 operating system

    Hey,.

    > ALWAYS goes black as soon as the ramps of gpu for example of playing a video or comparative analysis of the graphics card.
    This means that the graphics card is defective

    Theoretically, it could be an overheating problem too. Higher time can also cause a black screen. You should try everything that is possible to clean your laptop using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans.

    If it doesn t help it seems to be a hardware malfunction but seriously a point would be interesting: have you noticed the same thing with preinstalled OS (Vista) Toshiba?

    The display only works correctly when the angle is close to 90 degrees.

    Hey Buddy,

    I m not a technician but I agree with the user above. For me it looks like a hardware problem and you should go to a service provider allowed. Technicians can check your defective parts for computer laptop notebook and Exchange.

  • Satellite 210CS - the screen stays black (even to an external monitor)

    Dear Toshiba Forum members and guests.

    Several months ago, I found an old laptop. When I turn it on, the screen remains black. And when I connect an external monitor to the laptop via the VGA input, two screens are black. I used a flashlight, pulled on the LCD screen of the laptop, but I don't see all the details on the screen.

    I thought it was because of the empty RAM slots. This week, I bought a RAM-unit and installed.
    I tried to start the laptop again, but nothing on the two screens (even though I used a flashlight).
    I searched the Internet for certain solutions, but nothing works. I also tried updating the BIOS, found on the Web from Toshiba site.

    Some information on the laptop:
    Toshiba Satellite 210CS/1.3
    PA1230E
    48 MB RAM
    1.3 GB HARD DRIVE

    Date of manufacture: 4 ^ th ^ October 1997

    If you want more information or you would like more information, please put a comment in this thread.

    I hope someone can help me solve this problem.

    Thanks in advance.

    I think there must be some serious hardware problem.
    I don't think that someone will be able to tell what part exactly failures because it could be any inner part.
    You buy the RAMs again. Well, in this case, we can exclude RAM problem, but there is probably a motherboard, CPU or a graphics card problem.

    From my point of view of the few you don't have many options: perhaps you could found some other good treatments Satellite 210CS somewhere in the internet since it is not very easy to get parts for this oldie

  • Satellite L10-333: screen stays black, until I hit the edge of the screen

    I have a Satellite L10-333, which is about 3 years old, it has suddenly started having screen problems.
    It started with a white screen instead of the normal and a black line all downstairs in the middle.

    Now when I turn on the pc, the screen remains black and dead until I hit the edge of the screen and when the screen comes alive, I must hold and press part of the cover, so that the display stays on...

    Anyone know what's the problem?
    I thought it might be a loose wire or connection.
    Someone else has or had this problem?

    Thanks for your help...

    I agree with you. It must be a contact problem. In my opinion, it is not important if anyone else has this problem too and you have to find the solution as soon as possible.
    The laptop must be disassembled and check the connection of the screen. Now the question is what to do. Can you check it alone or you need professional help?

  • Satellite U920T - the screen goes black when you drag the keyboard

    This morning, I turned on my U920T-10 days but the screen remained black.

    At first, I thought the screen was broken, but in mode 'Tablet', the screen became. Now when I slide the keyboard the screen goes black again.

    How can this problem be solved?

    Hello

    For me, it looks like a bad connection somewhere between the screen and the motherboard.
    This could be possible reason for failure to display while sliding in and out.

    I guess this can be resolved easily and I think that it is a job for a technician (authorized service provider). I recommend you contact the service technician in your country to get the laptop fixed. I hope that the warranty is still valid in order to repair for free.

    I hope that this can be corrected. I keep fingers crossed.

  • Satellite M100-165: screen dithering also after BIOS update

    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6901K20002R01.htm

    I updated the bios to version 2.10 and the latest ATI drivers, but the promblem is still there.
    Is there anything I can do to solve this problem, because the dithering promblem is really annoying!

    P.S. The LCD Panel seems to be a SEC5643

    Hi guys

    If you have read the topic about this issue with the Satellite A100, you will see that many user were frustrated but right at the last update of the available BIOS. It cannot happen overnight and in my opinion, you must be patient and hope that the good BIOS update will be available shortly.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - screen remains black

    Hello, Ive had my laptop for a few years and after leaving in my freezer for a few weeks on vacation, I went to turn it on and the laptop turned on and the lights came, but the screen remained black. The screen was not completely black she lights up very slightly, but nothing was visible at all (not even very thirsty)

    In the past, I encountered a situation where I had a red tinge to objects on my screen, but also red horizontal lines. This was never permanent and only occasionally happened.

    About my most recent problem involving the black screen, I tried taking the battery and holding the switch thing on, but also to take my ram out and put it back again. After that I took the ram out, I turned on the laptop and the screen shows red objects and flashes the screen loading and then black again. I don't know if it was because of the ram or just a coincidence.

    I'm completely stuck on the current situation and would be grateful for all the help I can get. Thank you!

    Hello

    If everything is clear: in your case I would like to connect an external monitor to the laptop. So that you can identify if the problem is related to the screen internal or graphics card.

    In both cases you need professional help, I think the something on the hardware needs to be replaced. Therefore, you must contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop and fix it for you it's a little tricky.

    On the Toshiba page, you will find a list of ASP.
