Satellite M50-266 - strange scratches on the screen

Hey,.

After 4 weeks of inactivity, I turned on my Satellite M50 - 226 (bought in May 2006) and saw some strange scratches on the screen. I have a built-in ATI Radeon X 600. Already I have updated all drivers, while ATI Catalyst does not recognize the graphics card. So I tried the Omega drivers alternative, which does not help somehow.

Please see a screenshot here: http://designest.de/exchange/m50-226.png

I thought, it is clear that the graphics card is broken.

What do you think, is there an (easy) way to fix?

Thanks for the tips,

Mike

This problem is the reason why you use the Toshiba drivers no.
ATI drivers are not designed for the use of the laptop.

Then uninstall all drivers Toshiba no and download the latest directly from Toshiba:

  • Dell UP2414Q (bought used, scratches on the screen. (Help!)

    Hi all

    I just got a Dell UP2414Q monitor 4K from a seller on eBay who claimed the device was in excellent condition.  I know, I know... buyer beware you.  Anyway, there are scratches on the screen that I find unacceptable.  The seller does not accept returns.  I did receive the unit for a very low price and feel that I can make my money selling on craigslist, while being totally honest with his condition.

    But before that, I was curious to know if there was something I could do.  Heck, I like to keep this monitor, but I can't stand the scratches (maybe I'm just picky).  So the question time:

    -I know that some products have a thin protective layer on the current screen (for example many cell phones).  Is this the case with the UP2414Q?  I could just buy a replacement cover?  And if I could, it would be easy to repair?

    -Dell would actually be wiling to repair the device for me?  It is difficult to reach directly they like customer number, serial number, etc that I did not like it was purchased second-hand.

    Oh well, thanks for any help, guys!

    No, there is not a removable protective layer. Unfortunately, Dell won't repair monitors, sells components to monitor nor have the documents of disassembly.

  • Satellite M50: Power LED lights but the white screen

    Hello

    When I try to run my M50 all I get is the fan runs for about 5 seconds and a blank screen but the power light is on.

    It makes no difference when its clogged, it won't start at all.
    It's happened once before, but worked the next day without problem, this time it was more than a week.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi Toni

    I don t mean that it is a dysfunction of the motherboard at the moment.
    Before we propose something like this, you should try something simply.

    Try to remove the battery and unplug the power adapter for a while.
    Wait about 10-20 min and connect the battery and AC to the laptop

    Then try to start the machine, it could be useful and please come back and report your results.

  • Satellite M40X 295: scratch on the screen

    Hello
    I ve got a stripe in the middle of the screen of my laptop. How can I remove it?

    Hello

    Try to update the graphics driver. The newest one, you will find on the Toshiba site.
    In addition, please check your display resolution.
    If the problem persists I guess that it s a hardware malfunction. Then you laptop needs a service. You must contact the ASP.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro M10 - horizontal lines on the screen in different areas

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help.
    My Satellite Pro M10 seems to suffer a display problem where I have horizontal lines on the screen in different areas.
    It would be well for 10 minutes and when the laptop seems to warm up this problem begins, then shortly after
    The laptop would crash and enter in a resolution of 800 x 600 16 colors or sometimes freeze.

    Graphic drivers have been resettled, and even a new installation of Windows XP from the recovery CD does not help.
    A reboot doesn't solve what the same thing happens again and after one minute of use, so I thought it might be a video or cooling problem.
    I changed the video card I had a spare part of my last motherboard hoping this would solve the problems, but the problem persists.
    Perhaps a cooling problem? Or problems of motherboard?
    The motherboard has been replaced twice, hoping that this isn't another mobo problem.

    Any advice would be great.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    I m not 100% sure but to me it looks a bit like an overheating problem
    Maybe the graphics card may not be properly cooled after a certain period of time and that's why these strange horizontal lines appear on the screen.

    I wonder how you were able to replace the graphics chip on the motherboard?  :|
    If I m not wrong not the chip is fixed and the replacement is very easy and difficult

    It of always difficult to say what's maybe wrong without running several diagnostic tests in most cases this problem may be related to the defective chip or motherboard and so the following should be checked

    Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

    Best regards from my friend

  • Satellite M30: random characters came on the screen even when installing

    Hello

    I have problems with my Satellite M30. It shows random characters or signs on the image. Other than this computer works well. I thought it could be virus, because I can see the Toshiba and the fine Centrino Logo, it starts happening during Windows loading.

    So I reinstalled it but random characters came on the screen even when installing. If anyone can advise what this could be?

    My thoughts are either bad graphics card or a Ribbon of a cable LCD screen mobo.

    For me it also looks like a GPU malfunction... what you is to connect the external monitor to the laptop. If the same strange signs, characters will be visible on the second screen while the GPU is defective...

    Well, it would be the worst case, because the whole motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of a GPU chip...

  • Satellite M70-339 vertical lines on the screen

    Hello...

    I have a Satellite M70-339, which will show only the vertical lines on the screen.
    I connected an external monitor and booted in safe mode.
    I uninstalled the display drivers.
    I started to monitor and reinstalled the display drivers.
    The computer will now boot up screen.

    I put the display to indicate to both monitor and screen.

    On the monitor, all right.
    On the screen, I get vertical lines color, similar to a wallpaper (wallpaper is not pretty).

    Did anyone has got any ideas what could be the problem, or how to diagnose the problem
    Any help would be appreciated.

    John C

    If everything is OK on the external monitor that is the best evidence that this problem is related to the internal LCD. Display must be exchanged.

  • Satellite Pro 2100 two cables behind the screen

    Hi, first post so be gentle with me please.

    I have a Satellite Pro Satellite Pro 2100 and the hinges are shot, so I bought a 2100 piece to Exchange.
    Everything was ok except that I have two sons that I can't find a place to plug in. A black white and they are attached to the small square gold Ribbons that are glued to each top corner at the back of the screen. The other ends have little, but when I stripped the laptop they were in bulk and I do not see where they are going.

    However, the laptop works fine without them.
    Can anyone help please?

    All laptops with WLAN have this. WLAN antenna is placed behind the screen and these two wires must be connected to the WLAN antenna.

    If your laptop doesn't have WLAN card put just the cables aside and everything will be OK.

  • Tecra S2: strange dots on the screen that appears without reason and randomly

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Tecra S2 for almost a year now.
    I formatted 2 months ago and when I did it. I had strange spots on my screen, appearing without reason and at random. I have not the slightest idea where it came from and I tried to format my computer again.
    I installed the latest driver chipset on the site of intel, and then I installed the latest driver on the toshiba site.

    I noticed that the problem is back. so that solves nothing. What can I do about it?

    PS, not only the points, but I can't play too.

    HI Jelle,

    When you say that you have formatted your laptop, you completely re - install the operating system from the recovery discs? If you did then the display should work fine.

    If you have installed the Microsoft disk operating system, you will need to download the correct drivers from Toshiba for your Tecra from Toshiba download page web site.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite A300 - system still works, but the screen is blank

    Hello

    I was downloading an update of tempro toshiba (synco or something in that sense) for my laptop Satellite A300 and the frozen screen. I pressed the power button for 5-10 seconds until it is turned off. When I turned it the system seemed to work but the screen is completely black.

    I tried to remove the battery, and fn + F5 but the screen still won't turn on.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Rob.

    Hello

    It happened because of the updated BIOS, or during the common software update?
    In case it was an update of the BIOS I recommend contact the ASP in your country, because it seems that the ROM module must be flashed again.

    If it happened during a common software update, so I advise to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check to see if you could power the laptop properly!

    Check it out!
