Satellite P30-110: vertical lines on the screen - Virus?

I have a 110 - p30 and emerged recently vertical on my screen I have run norton AV and nothing was found is a possible virus any help appreciated because I don't want to lose all my work.

Hi Dave

If you don't want to lose your work trial to save on a way you like it (data CD/DVD or copy files on the external HARD disk device).

I don't really know if the vertical lines are the result of some viruses, but I believe some hardware malfunction can be responsible for this. Just detailed test can give more answers. In your case the best solution is to backup all important data and preinstall the device with the recovery media. On this way the unit will be own pre-installed and you can check if the lines happen.

If so, there are certainly a hardware problem. Sorry, but in this way it is not easy to give you more answers. Please back up your data. If the problem will be much worse than what you have a big problem.

  • 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 uninstalled the display drivers.
    I started to monitor and reinstalled the display drivers.

    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.

    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 A75: Permanent vertical line on the screen

    I had a Satellite A75 for about 1 1/2 years and a few weeks ago a thin line from top to bottom on the screen. The line appears as soon as the power comes on and is constantly when the computer is turned on. The color of the line depends on what should be the color of the screen. If the screen should be black, the line is green and if the screen should be white, the line is light purple. And all the rest.

    I think it's probably something wrong with the screen itself or the graphics card. Does anyone have ideas on how to determine the cause of the line and what it would take to fix it?

    Jon

    HI jon,

    The normal test to identify this type of aberration of the display is to connect an external monitor to the laptop. Then if the problem also appears on the external monitor, it's a fault with the graphics card. If the problem does not appear while the fault lies with the LCD display itself.

    My personal feeling is that the LCD is likely to be at fault, but any authorized service center would be able to test this for you.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L500-126 - vertical lines on the Green/gray color dark

    Hello

    I have a problem with my new toshiba satellite L500-126. With certain colors, like green, dark gray, I see vertical lines on the screen, only the part of the screen were the color is.

    For example, on this screenshot I made. I see vertical lines inside the chatbox. There you can see the chattext. I looked at this picture with another monitor. But I don't see the vertical lines. Am I a bad screen? Or is this normal on this model?

    Hoping for an answer,

    -Floyd

    > I looked at this picture with another monitor. But I don't see the vertical lines.
    In my opinion, the case is clear: there is something wrong with the internal monitor to the laptop and it must be replaced.
    What do you think?

    I mean that if it would be a software problem then you would have the same lines.

    I guess that your laptop is still under warranty because the Satellite L500 is fairly new. Contact an authorized service provider and ask for help. Normally, you should get a new free exhibition. :)

  • Qosmio G10 has vertical lines on the screen

    I have a G10 which I use for the last 15 months since I bought it.
    However, there are now 4 vertical lines on the screen, 2 Purple (magenta?), 1 yellow and 1 cyan. Other than these lines there are no other problems, it never fell down or something like that.

    The lines are still there, they do not change in any way and are always in the same place. They appear on the screen at first power up, before the Qosmio logo lights up.

    They have not all appear at the same time, they all appeared individually in the past two months. I've seen the last of them disappear briefly, then stay on.

    I guess that my screen is dying slowly, I guess to be an expensive item.

    Any advice thrown my way would be greatly appreciated!

    I took a picture of the screen you will find at:

    http://www.imagebucket.NET/images/lldata/displaylines.jpg

    Note: the photo was taken with Media Player full screen on a black image, just to clearly show the lines)

    Hello

    I suggest you connect an external display to check if it's a graphics card or a display problem. If cela pipes appears also on the external screen then it could also be a problem with the graphics card.
    If these lines do not appear on the external display while the display of the laptop has a malfunction.
    However, this does not change your situation. I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP to solve this problem.

  • Qosmio G15: Green vertical lines on the screen

    All started an ordinary day, when I was playing music on my iTunes.
    All of a sudden my screen went black and the music stopped, but my power button is always blue. Since then, whenever I try to start it, it goes on the Qosmio screen and Windows XP screen and plays the startup sound, but there all those green vertical lines on the screen. And then it goes black and tsays in this way.

    I was able to use Windows VGA (whatever that means) with lines all over the screen, but I am not able to start normally. Does anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem? Please help me!
    I have a Toshiba G15 Windows XP Media Center, but am not able to use it normally.

  • Qosmio G10 begins with vertical lines on the screen

    Hello, can anyone help?

    In VGA mode, it begins upward, but always with the lines on the screen.
    Is there something wrong with the video card? In my view, that there are more people with this problem.
    Toshiba offered little help?

    I'm 'out out of warranty '. I need to by a new complete motherboard or y at - it another option? Replace the video card?

    Hello

    Its a shame about the warranty because you ask the service partner Toshiba for the verification of the laptop and this procedure would be free. You know, the warranty would cover the audit of the laptop.

    But I would say the external display connection and then you can check if the same vertical lines appear on the external display.
    If you see the lines on the second monitor, then I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard.

    I think that this procedure is the best way to find out what could be the problem, but anyway, I think you should ask a technician for assistance if you want to solve this problem.

    PS: Have you tried to reinstall or update the graphics driver? I think you should do it but I don't know if it will help you, but you know Mr. try is free ;)

    One of my friends had a similar problem with the vertical lines on other mobile manufacturing, and it was a WLan cable which was responsible for the strange lines on the screen.

  • Blue vertical line on the screen of the Qosmio G20

    A few minutes ago, I was surfing the web and from nowhere share an apperead to the blue vertical line on the screen.
    A blue vertical line near the middle of the screen and crosses the screen all the up toward the bottom.

    If I'm looking at a white background, the line is undetectable, but if it is colored, it comes right thru.

    Please don't tell me they are dead... hoooo pixels... I am now, life away from any toshiba repair shop and I get a guarantee...
    I think that I bought 3 years ago. Need urgent help

    Hey Susana

    I wouldn't say it s a lack of dead pixel, but to me, it looks like a more serious problem.
    It looks like a malfunction of the graphics card. But to be sure, you should try to connect the external monitor to the computer and check if the same vertical line will appear on the second screen.

    If you're going to see the same line on the external monitor, then I assume that the question of the vertical blue line might be linked to the GPU fault.
    This could be the case value because the chip graphic card cannot be replaced. You need to replace the whole motherboard :(

    So, as you see it s not easy to solve this problem and I really recommend to contact a technician who has more experience with these laptop problems.

    Good luck

  • Blue vertical line on the screen

    Hello

    After a day of use, I have a blue vertical line on the screen. Defective LCD screen? Tried to reapply the latest firmware, but that doesn't change anything. Other things to try before a sent an RMA?

    I dunno if Newegg "corresponds to" Amazon product replacement policy is defective products: Amazon will cover the shipping costs for the return (via a pre-paid return label he sends you) but also send a replacement free of charge.  You might want to check with Newegg, if your Clip has been purchased recently.

    Apart from Newegg, if you need to take advantage of the SanDisk warranty directly with her, SanDisk (at least in the United States) covers shipping as well as for the replacement that is sent back.

  • Satellite Pro A210 - repeat vertical lines on the screen

    I hope someone can help me.

    I am a teacher and was bought by my school a Toshiba Satellite Pro A210 for me to do my school work and connect to a SMART board to teach with. Throughout its probably one of the best laptops I got through school. I got it two months.

    There is only one problem with it. Its developed a rather weird problem. Occasionally, the screen suddenly freezes, and the display will be replaced by thin, alternating vertical black and white lines. The only way to get rid of them is to turn off the laptop and restart it (particularly annoying when it happened in the middle of a lesson when I've been respected by an OFSTEd Inspector!)

    Technician computer school has no idea what is the cause. I was wondering if someone here might have some advice.

    Thanks in advance.

    I ve the same laptop but I didn t receive similar lines on the screen.
    What you could do is update the BIOS and the driver (if possible) display.

    If the same problem happens again, you must connect an external monitor to the laptop.

    Then check if the same lines appears on the external display. If so, then a problem of graphics card might be possible!

  • Satellite M60-104 - vertical lines on the LCD

    Hello guys,.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M60-104 and in recent months, I noticed vertical lines on the LCD screen. How can I solve the problem?

    Any response will be useful,

    thanx

    Hello

    First of all, you should check if you have the same problem on an external monitor. So you can check if the problem is the graphics card or screen.

    However, I think that the motherboard or display needs to be replaced. To do this, you can go to an authorized service provider.

  • Satellite P30-110: how to open the machine for the cleaning of the fan?

    Hello

    I removed the screws that are visible, but it will not always be open. Don't want to force it.

  • 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

  • Tecra S1 - vertical lines on the screen

    Hello people,

    IM new to this forum so first all the Hi everybody ;-).

    My girlfriend bought a Tecra S1 second hand and after a few vertical lines of the month displayed on the screen. When I asked around the power button pressure lines have disappeared. But after a few minutes, the lines are back. So I thought that it was probably a problem of video and e - bay, I bought a second hand motherboard. I installed it and now after a few months I get vertical lines again. (It also happens on an external monitor).
    I opened the laptop and with only the motherboard in front of me I plugged it to a monitor outside, put a little pressure on 1 side of the motherboard and the lines where go! Would that be the case?

    I know that on ebay and other sites where they offer second-hand computers laptops MANY people have the same problem.

    Did someone had an idea? I hope that I can fix it!

    Thanks for your time and sorry for my English.

    Greetz Mark

    Hey Mark,

    I doubt that people often have this problem. I put t read often about this problem, as far as I know it s thread the first on this subject.

    In any case, I think that it s not unusual. I mean you bought a motherboard of second hand on eBay, so who knows how old she had and often it was used in the book. Second hand spare parts that s another story in my opinion. You're more or less luck with these parts.

    I would recommend so buy a new mainboard with a provider of services authorized. It seems that you can change it yourself and so you can save a lot of money. On the Toshiba site, you can find a list of ASP.

    Good luck! :)

  • Qosmio F10: vertical lines on the screen

    I use a Qosmio F10 with a nVIDIA 128 MB graphics card. Recently while I was running a graphics-based application on, my screen started showing me wire colors on the screen. I was able to start the game once more, but found the same problem exist.

    On reboot, the system showed the vertical white lines on the screen to start qosmio, ' *' on the lines of the bios password screen and green on the Windows XP loading screen. I was not able to start Windows. Thinking it would be a problem of S/W, I formatted.

    The problem persists and I can not load Windows XP.
    Can someone tell me what the problem with my laptop?

    Hello

    This sound like a hardware malfunction and I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard :(

    But the vertical lines appear on the external screen? If so, then it must be a matter of Council.
    In this case, you have a lot of possibilities. In my opinion, ask the guy to service for the control of the laptop. The technicians of the service in your country partner could run diagnostics tests and will give you more details about the failure.

    Good luck
