Satellite P200D-139 - blank screen suddenly and now empty start

Therefore, given a laptop to take a look at, now the problem she has is that she played Sims one night and left the phone on during 10 minutes while she went downstairs, now when she returned the laptop screen was blank. She turned it off and back on again and the screen would just light up.

I had a look myself and I can confirm that something is wrong, I asked if she had accidentally pressed any key on the keyboard is to say FN + screen off and she said that she had not.

I plugged it up to my TV via the VGA port at startup and after leaving the laptop 10 mins and nothing, the laptop is booting, you can hear the fans and hard drive and the lights in the front are all to give a positive response but as above the custom of the screen lights up.

Anyone able to help?

Model name: Satellite P200D-139
Model No.: PSPBNE-0040KS
Microsoft Windows Vista

Thank you
James

Hmmmmm... strange.
Try to start Notepad with AC adapter only, or only to the batteries.
Unplug the two and leave it for a while and check if the same thing will happen again.
You can try to remove the HARD drive and see if the laptop will start correctly (BIOS and Toshiba welcome screen).

Do these small tests and post the result.

  • Satellite P200D-139 suddenly goes to blank screen and must be restarted

    Hallo,
    Have a Toshiba Notebook: Satellite P200D-139. Just reinstalled vista (because the phone was slow and glitch) and the computer has just only started going to a white screen at random, no error reports... nothing.

    Works fine, once it has been rebooted, restored in safemode, updates not installed... but ran ideas.

    Would be grateful for the help, thanks.

    Hmmm. my laptop s screen was empty, sometimes after the activation of the standby mode.
    But after restarting again, everything was OK.

    I searched a bit in the forum and found people who recommended a BIOS and update the display driver.
    I did this and could solve my problem

    I'm, not sure if this would be useful but try this too
    It s worth a try

  • Matte screen on Satellite P200D-139

    My father has a laptop Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and today a shot then screen is just gone dark.

    When the power is off and you start the laptop, the screen is very bright as it should, but after about 30 seconds, the screen becomes dull, as if the brightness has been lowered.

    Now when I close the lid and put it to sleep then open it again and then get out of standby, the monitor remains dull. The only way he'll light is by cutting off the power completely and turn it on again but it goes back dull after about 30 seconds.

    The laptop is still running from the charger the battery was totally turned off and does not charge for a year now.

    I tried to update the drivers and allsorts but can t fix it.

    Anyone know what could be the problem?

    > When the power is cut off and you start the laptop, the screen is very bright as it should, but after about 30 seconds, the screen becomes dull, as if the brightness has been lowered.
    If I understand you right so that you see Toshiba welcome screen everything is OK, but when Windows loading problem, right?
    Have you noticed the same thing if you start the laptop in safe mode?
    Have you tried to reinstall the display driver?

    Either way, what operating system is preinstalled on this machine?

  • Satellite P200D-139 screen with horizontal lines

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and the screen no longer works.
    It turns on but the screen is made up of vertical lines, which slowly fade into a black screen.

    I tried on an external monitor and it worked fine, (so probably cannot be a defective/motherboard graphics card). So, I thought that it was likely to be the inverter or the screen itself.
    After trying a new inverter without success, I bought another second hand screen.

    However, the new screen is exactly the same problem with horizontal lines display.
    Sometimes, I catch a partial glimpse of a Vista screensaver for a fraction of a second, but then back to black. I m not a technophobe, so any info would be much appreciated.

    Please help, as he leads me into the wall!

    > I tried on an external monitor and it worked fine, (so probably cannot be a defective/motherboard graphics card). So, I thought that it was likely to be the inverter or the screen itself.

    Right. I think that the problem is related to the display

    > However, the new screen has exactly the same problem with horizontal lines display.
    Well, it might be possible that the second screen is faulty, too that if you bought this as part of the second hand then it might be possible that you bought a screen that is not working properly.

    What to say; It of difficult to say what you should do next. Buy a new screen and check it again? Well, I think that I would visit the next computer repair store and ask for verification of the display.
    I think it's the best solution in your case

  • Satellite P200D-139 - I want to improve memory

    Hello

    Last year, I bought a portable Satellite P200D-139. This came with 2 GB of memory installed and now I turn to 4 GB
    I can't find this model anywhere on the Toshiba site, with the exception of the driver updates.

    The model on the basis of the machine is PSPBNE-004003KS

    I checked the site of Kingston memory for upgrades, but it lists only P200D-137 and 138. Even on the Toshiba site
    I can not yet know if this model is able to pass to 4 GB

    If anyone can help me?

    See you soon,.

    Paul-G

    I'm afraid that Luke understands something wrong.

    Back to the upgrade of memory:
    If you want to upgrade to 4 GB using 2 x 2 Go DDR2-667 (PA3513U-1M2G).

  • Cannot access Windows on my Satellite P200D-139

    Evening,

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite P200D-139. I am trying to format the hard drive and whenever I turn it on, it just goes right to a box of password directly after showing the Toshiba logo. The box says press F2 or F12 as normal, as I do, the password box comes in next. This isn't a password of windows, as windows does not load.

    I think it's a set up / BIOS password. Any help around this would be appreciated. I have a thought of the Mike pattern to remove battery CMOS, ideas, please keep in mind that I can't enter the BIOS / or implement the page thanks a lot YES - YES.

    Please respond to my email

    [email protected]

    Hello

    Yes it must be the BIOS password. In this story, it's a bit strange to me that you have on this subject.
    Is your laptop or you got someone?

    Is that you will not be able to have access to pre-installed Windows or option to install new windows if you don't have good BIOS password. Removal of password is not information on a public forum, so if you need assistance, you should contact Toshiba service in your country. They can remove for you.

    I know removing the CMOS battery won't help you to remove the BIOS password.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - battery appears to be dead

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and for the last year or so the battery seems to be dead (so I think).

    the laptop will be work with the charger connected and if the charger is removed then the laptop turns off.

    under windows it says sound plugged in but no charge current and charge level is zero percent.
    the ac power led is to say I have it plugged in, but the battery light does not illuminate.

    If I pull the battery and reinsert it with the laptop is plugged in, the battery light stays on for about 2 seconds, then goes back new.

    is this just a battery flat, because before all this happened to the use of the battery if flow from 100% to 0% in 2 minutes.

    > the laptop works with the charger connected and if the loader is pulled out while the laptop turns off.

    Yes, that sounds like the battery needs to be replaced.
    My 6-year battery is dead too.
    It loads and indicates that its full load but after about 1 min of use the battery is completely empty

    That s nothing unusual

  • Satellite P200D-139 - Question about recovery disk

    My father has a Toshiba Satellite P200D-139 and we lost the recovery for laptop disk and the recovery HARD drive image also disappeared.

    So I ordered a new pack of Toshiba and I was just wondering if I had to put a new HARD drive in the laptop (a bigger HARD drive) the recovery pack contains Windows Vista to put it back on the hard drive?

    I once had an old Windows XP on Toshiba Satellite 1900 and packed on that hard drive if I bought a new disc and ran the recovery disk and it put Windows back on so I hope that this pack for this laptop does the same.

    Hey,.

    Is that the Toshiba recovery disc can restore the factory settings every time and on each HARD drive. If you replace a new s than what it still possible to restore the factory settings on the same HARD drive, nothing is installed on the HARD drive. HARD drive recovery files are not necessary for the recovery disk because the recovery itself contains these files.

    So replace with a bigger HARD drive and boot from the recovery disc. You come out of the box settings and the computer will be ready to use after this :)

  • Re: Disk hard Satellite P200D-139 upgrading?

    Hello world

    I recently got an opportunity * Satellite P200D-139 * PSPBNE-004003KS as a gift, it currently has a 80 GB hard drive, but I would like to upgrade to a larger. I searched on the net and forums, etc., but still quite confused.

    can I switch to a larger HARD drive? and what is the maximum size that I can go to so...

    Does anyone know also the best place for such an article...

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    I don't know much Equium series, but I guess that's the sata (sata interface) controller. SATA interface, there is no limit of ability so up to 500 GB (even more) should be recognized correctly. The only thing is that BIOS should also support it.

  • Can I install XP on Satellite P200D-139?

    I currently installed on my Vista laptop.
    However, I have some equipment that is not compatible with Vista.
    I wonder if my laptop (Toshiba Satellite P200D-139) is compatible with XP?

    If this is how I get rid of Vista and install XP?

    Any information on this would be a great help.

    Thank you very much.

    > I wonder if my laptop (Toshiba Satellite P200D-139) is compatible with XP?
    Why don't all computers not phones or computers that couldn't stand the XP did you see? I want to tell the next generation of PC/computer laptop and not a 486 oldies ;)

    In any case the Toshiba XP drivers are published on the European driver Toshiba page.
    So all the XP drivers are here and he should t be a problem to get the XP working on the Toshiba Satellite P200D-139

    But please not that you need to install the SATA driver first! The driver can be found in the Storage Manager package!

    If you need more information how to install the SATA drivers, please search here in the other forum posted.
    I remember that it was a question asked in the last months

  • Satellite P200D-139 - recover F8 does not work

    Hello world

    I need to restore my (Satellite P200D-139) mother's cell phone to factory settings.
    I press F8 at startup, but when I select the recover, it starts just windows normally rather than taking me to the recovery page... Why past/what should is I do?

    Thanks in advance,

    MBL

    Hello

    I m not sure why this product maybe something was wrong with the HARD drive partition or files on the HARD disk partition.
    Did you choose; F8-> fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery?

    If this does not work, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk which you + if all goes well + created using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  • 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.

  • Satellite P200D-139 - HARD drive upgrade options

    I received a P200D-139 and there seem to be two 40GB hard drives.

    I want to upgrade if I put Windows 7 on it.

    I have updated the BIOS, so how big a drive can I put into each slot of the HARD drive?

    I'm also going to 4 GB of RAM.

    See you soon

    Hello

    Satellite or Equium P200D series was equipped with SATA HDD.
    This means that mobile supports the SATA HDD controller, which means that we must avoid any physical limitation.

    Usually, you can use any HARD drive 2.5 SATA
    But I think that 320 HARD drive should be good enough
    What do you think?

  • Satellite U400-14 b turns off and now it won't start

    Hello

    just got a new Satellite U400 this week.
    Worked perfectly the first days, and then last night, it just turns off and now it won't start.

    I press the button and the row of lights beside him light up, but nothing happens that I n t even get as much as the Toshiba screen.
    I tried a lot of things. I left it plugged in all night, tried to take the battery and any results now.

    Little led lights on the bottom indicates that it is his stuffy, battery is white not orange when you press they light up only for a fraction of a second.

    The only thing I can compare it is too when a car won t start and you keep turning and turning the key, well in that case, pushing a button, and nothing happens, fans don t whir or anything...

    help please...
