Satellite P200 screen is eventually died - now very dark

Hello

My laptop screen (Satellite P200) is eventually died.
He had been much flicker when opening the laptop but settle.

The screen is very dark and you can see just the windows etc. I can't connect a second monitor and run from that.

-Is the screen, backlight went?
-I'm out of warranty, how long does it take for an extended warranty through? The site has offered me one for relief.

Any information would be great.
Thank you
Simon.

Hello

First you will not get an extended warranty, if you haven't bought it.
If you warranty is no longer valid, then you will have to pay for the repair.

Now a few words about your question;
I think that your FL inverter is dead. The problem described in job ads seems to be a fault of inverter FL. This small part controls the backlight of the screen and causes this problem.

I recommend contacting the technician of laptop (certified partner) and I will ask the Fl inverter assessment and if necessary I would work out a replacement.

Good bye

  • Satellite P200-144 - lost profile user & Running very, very slowly

    Hi, please excuse my explaniation below, but I'm not very technical interest and need help?

    I have a Satellite P200-144 curries in Sep 07 was bought for my college courses. I listened to a CD of night via windows media player. CD proceeded to freeze and then I got an error message something in the sense of "windows media player database corrupted", then the machine stops. When it restarts itself, my user profile and associated parameters have disappeared (as well as my documents, music, photsos etc.). Once the machine booted, I log in under my usual profile, but he told me that my profile would not load correctly and I've been signed by using a temporary profile? In addition, the machine seems to have trouble doing anything at any great speed; each individual operation is taking an absolute age... to open the internet browser is as slow as dial-up almopst and I am supposed to have high-speed broadband! The machine makes a quiet rattling noise that was not previously; someone suggested maybe it's my hard drive?

    On the advice of the internet and others, I tried the following:
    Creating a new user and copy my user data-error message back sying this did not succeed.
    Twp machine restoring previous dates separated - "error unidentified" who did not do so.

    Please help... anyone?

    > The machine makes a quiet rattling noise that was not previously. someone suggested maybe it's my hard drive?
    Hmm, HARD drive failure is possible... maybe some bad sectors in the partition or HARD drive, however, this is only speculation and a new installation of operating system from the recovery CD would be necessary and advisable to ensure that this is not a HARD drive problem.

    Of course you should backup you files and important data because this procedure would format the HARD drive.

    I know it's a radical procedure, but it is necessary to make sure if the problem is hardware or software associates.

    Good luck and best regards

  • Keypad does not work under Windows XP Home on my Satellite P200

  • Satellite P200-1ED - wireless issue

    Hey guys,.

    I hope that I write in the right forum!

    I had my * Satellite P200-1ED * for a while now and he used to work on the internet very well.

    However these last weeks I tried to sort, because it is quite frustrating not being able to go on the internet on my laptop!

    ---
    My network is encrypted WEP and SSID is set to broadcast, however I can't connect to it.

    I've updated the drivers of the * Atheros ARG5007EG * at the latest and I still cannot get lucky.

    It seems that the other networks appear sometimes to connect with the exception of my own. * HOWEVER * I have two other laptops (both on Windows XP) which connect perfectly to the network anywhere in the House and in the garden, so it's not a network range deliver - I even tried sitting right next to the router with this laptop!

    Please could someone give me some advice, I tried my best to solve myself, but I'm out of ideas.

    Responds very well appreciated.

    Hello

    I think it's a question of wireless settings. I suggest you remove the card from the Device Manager and all the fittings 'network connections '.

    Then, install the card and create a new wireless connection and RECHECK your settings / wireless password, SSID, IP, etc...
    The last resort would be to recover the machine in order to exclude all software related issues.

    What kind of router do you have? Have you already tried to reset all the settings of the router and on your machine and disabling WEP encryption to make sure that the machine connects in its basic configuration to the router?

    -What is the capacity of the battery 6 cells, 9 cells and how many mAH?
    Does anyone have this laptop battery and haw do under normal conditions of use?

    Thank you
    Ivan

    Hello

    I m not the owner of a Satellite P200 - 1FC but I found a very useful information on this notebook on the official page of Toshiba.
    http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/productPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=137284

    I have goggled autour also and have seen this info:

    > - What is hard drive speed (RPM), 4200 or 5400?
    250GB (4200 RPM) SATA 12.5 mm

    > What is the capacity of 6-cell, 9-cell battery and how many mAH?
    6 cells but the AMM is not known to me

    Maximum range: up to 02:20 pm
    But you should know that it is only an approximate value, because the battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
    Using this laptop you can expect a time of 1.5 hours battery work

  • Satellite P200 - minimizing on its own screens

    Hello

    I just bought a laptop Satellite P200 - 1 K 8. I'm having a problem with the screen pages minimize while I'm surfing the net / opening files, etc at random times?
    It's pretty frustrating - and I'm not sure if this is a Vista issue or the laptop itself?

    Someone at - it experience of this or had the same problem?

    Thank you very much in advance for your help with my question!

    Jay

    Check the touch pad settings, go to control panel, Classic view - mouse, then player settings and click settings for the touchpad. Then go to the box 'type' and disable tapping.
    "tapping" allows you to activate the touchpad to do different things when you tap the corners.

    (at least it worked for me on a P200-1EE)

  • Satellite P200-1JV - screen begins to blink in different times

    Hello!

    I am owner of a Satellite P200-1JV since last week and three days ago I had a strange problem.
    My laptop * screen starts flashing * in different times.

    The flash frequency increases by 3.4 times to 10 +.
    In addition, the number of times to flash occurrence increases significantly.

    The blinking persists even if I do * not * activate any program.
    All programs are by default.

    Everyone knows the same problem before? Any solution?
    The graphic problem (ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600)? Or is it a manufacturing problem?

    Could you please help me?
    Thanks for in advance!

    What do you mean by manufacturing problem?

    It very difficult to imagine that how the display flashes or what might the case these flashing but it certainly looks like a hardware problem.

    If its hardware issue you will need to contact a technician from Toshiba for a fix. I think it's clear

    The P200 seems to be a new laptop and my knowledge, the guarantee must cover all
    So, don t waste time and ask an ASP in your country for a control from laptop

  • Satellite P200 - 14: nothing on the screen when the power

    Hello

    I have Satellite P200 - 14 h, and a few days ago I started having a problem power on my lap.
    I press the power button / stop, all three LEDs light up, battery, power supply and the first that shows that the adapter is plugged.

    Now my problem is that the Satellite txt is not lit, and nothing indicated on my screen.
    It's the mouth vent, black, on the bottom of the laptop, spin for a couple of times, and they stop

    Does anyone know how to fix this
    Thanks to 1 million...

    Sounds like a serious problem of material.
    Please don t understand me wrong. This is only my personal opinion... If you want to know exactly what's wrong and then the laptop must be controlled by an ASP.

    But try this first before you contact the ASP.
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    Wait about 30 minutes and then reconnect the two parts.

    Try turning on the laptop computer.
    If that does not help, ASP is your next step

  • Satellite P200-1BA: blue screen after installing Bluetooth (BT 7.1 stack)

    Hello

    I would like that you suggest me solving this problem. I installed Win 7 on my laptop TOSHIBA (satellite P200-1BA). and installed all necessary drivers downloaded from the official website. But only the bluetooth driver produces the problem. When I install it, first it appears driver installed successfully, my intention to restart. After rebooting once windows starts (desktop appears) all of a sudden blue screen and the computer restarts again and again with blue screen that appears until I have disable bluetooth.

    Anyone who encountered this problem too, or that someone has an idea on his reason?

    It's very strange. I've installed several times on different models with different operating systems and all went well.
    Are you sure you are using the 32-bit version for 32 bit OS?

    What operating system is preinstalled on your laptop?

  • Increases brightness screen Satellite P200-1EE

    Hello, I received by Satellite P200-1EE with Windows Vista Home Premium.

    Some time ago I found that the screen itself become very bright. Usually after one or two hours, sometimes faster after coming back from the screen saver. Yet it's brighter, then I can set up using windows options or functional keys, I see not too much on the screen then. What can cause this problem?

    I hope that there is no hardware problem. Help, please.

    Hello

    This means that the brightness of the display will change automatically?

    Well, it's really hard to say why this is happening. Normally, you set a certain point for the brightness of the screen in each power profile, for example, symmetrical or optimized battery.
    Check it!

    Also, make sure that all Windows updates are installed.
    In addition, I would recommend updating BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  • Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

    I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

    Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

    I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

    My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

    Hello

    I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
    This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
    As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.
