Satellite Pro 4030 boots with white screen - works OK on an external monitor

My sat 4030 pro, Vibrio W98SE, boots to a white screen. When I press the lid closer, or use Fn/F5 it turns black. It works fine on an external monitor.

Hi Robert,.

If your screen is displayed correctly on an external monitor, then it indicates that your chip graohics still work correctly, then you the problem must be with the LCD itself, the FL inverter or the connecting cable to the main Board. I would recommend that you contact an authorized Service partner who can perform other tests to diagnose the fault.

Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A300 crashes with white screen

    I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD processor, Vista, ATI graphics card.

    The system worked fine for a year, but there are a few months, he started crashing, the screen went white, not blue, whatever it be running, like music, stopped. This can occur after several hours or minutes, or even if he is re-start. All my software is up-to-date, Microsoft and Toshiba. I rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.

    At first I thought that this could be a heat problem, but I followed this but I don't think that's it. It crashed seconds after leaving standby mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hey Buddy,

    Theoretically, it might be an overheating problem so the screen became due white built in overheating protection...

    You should try to clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    Hello;

    Let me welcome you on the HP forums!

    16.04 Ubuntu uses a new version of the X server, and, if you have an AMD or ATI card, it is more likely to fail due to the fact that AMD has dropped support for Linux from Ubuntu 16.04 fglrx drivers.

  • Performance on a Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista problems

    Can someone help me with this.
    My laptop is a new Satellite Pro A120-185 with Windows Vista.

    I had my last configuration less portable, but you know what? He was faster!

    I'm supposed to have cetrino duo 2, 2 GHz and cach of 4 MB, FSB 667 MHz, RAM 1 GB, even though they are at 533 MHz, 100 GB 5400 RPM HARD drive / MIN.

    It is slow, not only starting, programs opening, plays something, the browser and even to copy from the CD to the hard drive sometimes give me time 4 days left!

    Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
    Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly

  • Studio 1535 with white screen and "ERROR CODE: 0321 LCD EDID - EDID EEPROM ACCESS IMPOSSIBLE.

    Studio 1535 (laptop with Vista and NOTE from the ADMIN: tag removed in accordance with the Service Privacy Policy > suddenly, showing no display a few days ago.)  I tried to unplug the power cord and the battery, and make a stop by pressing the power button, but none of these methods have had no effect.  I got nothing else than a white screen, but when I fix a monitor external, everything works fine on the external monitor.

    Also, I have the flashing volume control keys and I was wondering if this could be a clue to what is happening and what needs to be corrected?  The Mute key and the Volume up key flashing on and outside at the same time.  The low Volume key is regularly.

    Then I run the diagnostic test that I had "ERROR CODE: 0321 LCD EDID - UNABLE to ACCESS EDID EEPROM '

    No idea if this could be a backlight or LCD question, question of video chip or broken cable?    Thank you!

    Hi JITeglia,

    I suggest you to replace the LCD LVDS cable on the system first, since it is the cheapest part. If the system is still facing the same issue to replace the LCD screen.

  • Compaq presario cq42 screen becomes black when the external monitor is unplugged

    Compaq presario cq42-137tu running windows 7 32 bit.

    I've been using a connected external display on the vga port and now every time I disconnect the monitor and restart the laptop the laptop LCD screen will display the original message of compaq and the black windows boot screen with the logo but then turns off. If I reconnect the extrnal monitor it will work fine (even if the external monitor is turned off)

    The screen of the laptop works fine without the external monitor connected in safe mode.

    I used both the HP support and the setting in the display panel to select single monitor and set the display on the screen of the laptop, but every time that the external monitor is not connected the screen turns off. The external screen does not need to be turned on, just to connect to the laptop monitor work. I also tried to download the graphics driver and put it back.

    If your laptop is a ComPaq base model then there is the (built-in) Intel UMA / GMA 4500 M - GL40 chipset with video memory sharing and you should consider downloading and installing the driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

  • Satellite Pro M40 sometimes starts with white screen

    Hello!

    I'm pulling out my hair with this problem.

    For no definable reason that according to me, my laptop will start with a blank screen.
    Not all the time, but, seemlingly, whenever it feels like I need extra help stress on my plate.
    For the most part, with perseverance (starting with or without battery, with or without the adapter, with or without pci with or without mouse usb network card and any combination of these elements), it ends by lights correctly, but sometimes Nothing that I won't get it to start and show me a screen.

    My M40 is 4 months old.
    Since it's purchase sent to Toshiba for repair twice for this problem, when I have exhausted myself trying to coax it into life. Whenever he was sent by saying either the problem has been fixed, or that he had no problem found/all systems ok / "it works very well for us, after testing all week."

    This week [edit: it was Wednesday], I sent it to me, and Yes, I checked the trunk upwards and gave a sigh of relief that there is an image on the screen.
    I wrote a letter to this topic a day or two later (that day he first gave me a screen white, but on closing down and restart, it was fine).
    Today, however, not a week later, I have a white screen again.

    I am reluctant to send for repair again, due to the stress involved and the time it takes and the technicians speaking it works for them.

    If anyone can help, or was faced with a similar problem, please respond.

    Oh, and the solution does not lie with the keys FN + F5, because I tried several times... unless there is a way to 'special' to build on them, I'm not in the running for!

    [Edit]: several hours later, as a demonstration of her bored this problem is, my screen is once more working.

    I went on once again, at the time and no joy. Then, after switching OFF, count to ten and the restart, eureka.

    I'll update with news as it happens. If there are all the necessary specific details about "switching on the environment", just let me know.

    Hello

    I see Windows commissioning - after start-up - the screen goes completely white.

    Has anyone seen this?

    Am geussing there could be a loose view link - but I have the screen displays the start-up and initial windows startup sequence.

    Kind regards

    Hello

    I put t think that your display is faulty.
    What happens if you access the BIOS at the beginning?
    To access the BIOS F2 press and turn the device on/off.

    Access the BIOS and let it run for a few minutes and check if the display starts at White.

    In addition its recommended to connect an external monitor and generate the display 2. If the 2nd screen is not OK, then the graphics chip could be the troublemaker.

  • Satellite Pro L40 - 15A - Windows XP screen white when the cover is open

    Hey,.

    So when I closed the lid on my laptop for a while and then reopen the lid, the screen remains white (black). The only way I found to get back on the screen is to re-boot.
    In power management, I put 'Status quo' for when I close the lid on my computer and power management is ' Always on '.

    I have the latest Bios and updates to the system.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi ib1.

    You use the version preinstalled Windows from Toshiba or is it your own installation?

    What to update the display driver? Take a look at the Toshiba page for the new display driver:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Don t forget to look in the * archives * on Toshiba page because this model is a little older, so all of the downloads are moved in archive.

  • Satellite Pro L650 series - the error screen white balance

    Hi all
    I use a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes bad white balance. In detail, the screen clears so dazzling with the strange white color. If I open a Web site, the pictures on the website becomes blurry images.
    If I put the screen in blue, she can't make easy the dazzling color, but if I put the screen in white or green and yellow, then it becomes abnormal colors and fuzzy.

    I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.

    Is there anyone encounter this problem like me?
    Could you share to me what is the problem? and what is the solution for this problem?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    Have you noticed this screen problem laptop with mains running or simply using the battery?

    I read about the problem of similar laptop screen which was related to the Intel display power saving technology.

    In this case, you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - conservation power source/battery - power tab function - saving technology display and uncheck this option.

  • Satellite Pro 2100: booting from a CD are works not

    Hello

    In our company, we use BartPE boot disk to get on the network of the company, from which we can then use Norton Ghost to the image of our PCs and laptops. It works really well. However, I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro 2100 who refuses to read any bootable CD. Will TRY to read the disc, it simply cannot.

    I can hear it try over and over again, but it just doesn't work. I tried to write by using different media and different CD burners, ranging down to write at a speed of 8 x, but nothing helped. Is there a problem known with the reading of the CD - Rs on this beach or model?

    Tim.

    Hello

    To boot from the CD, you can press the C key immediately after starting the laptop.
    In addition, it would be very interesting to know if it is also not possible to boot from the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  • Satellite A300-1LT won't boot up - white screen & no HARD disk activity

    I had a problem, the touch pad does not work.
    I found on the internet solution to stop computer, take out the battery, wait a bit and try again.
    That's when my problems start.

    When I put the battery back on, I turned on the laptop.
    White screen (nothing happens), led indicators are on (except for the hard disk), cd drive tries to read but nothing happens and the fan is running.
    I tried everything I could find (wait 30 minutes, take out, start without battery battery, etc.) but no luck.

    My lap top is Satellite A300-1lt, and I got 2 months.
    I don't want to take it to the service, unless it is really necessary, because I really need now, I can't wait for weeks until what he returned.

    Please can someone help me out, Im desperate...

    Thanks in advantage...

    Connect your laptop (with battery) to the power supply and leave an hour, try to restart your laptop. If portable starting again let it run until the battery will be fully recharged.

    I hope that it will work properly again. I had a similar problem with my Satellite A300-1LI, and I do this. Laptop now works perfectly with or without adapter.

  • Satellite Pro 4600 Wireless card does not work with WIN2K?

    I have a Satellite Pro 4600 with UK dealer PA3070U-1MPC wireless operating with Windows 2000 card

    The wireless client Manager detects the network from my wireless router and the signal is excellent and I see all the Green swhowing bars.

    But I can't mske a connection in 'connections' wireless says "network cable is disconnected.

    the router works well with other laptops in my house.

    I have the latest version of Win2K also downloaded and installed the latest versions of client manager and WLAN driver for win2k to the toshiba Web site.

    'Support of toshiba in Turkey' told me ' I need another driver for Win2K for my driver wireless card cause win2K on the toshiba site isn't for "thie" wireless card ". I have been waiting for this for 3 weeks now and couldn't join the UK level 3 elusive support who supposed to have this driver. I saw on the internet is the same wireless card was sold as an accessory "made by toshiba" and he said that it is compatible with Wim2K

    What I then please? It works with Win2K, is it "another driver" and so on?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I don t think that there is something wrong with the driver because you can receive signals from router (green bars). If the driver WLan would be a mistake if wouldn t receive all signals.
    Please check device manager. If the wireless card is recognized if you are using the correct driver and the driver has been installed correctly.
    Please see this page:
    http://209.167.114.38/support/TechSupport/TSBs/all/-TSB000705.htm

    In my view, the message "network cable is disconnected" appears because your (NOT wireless) LAN cable is not connected. This post has nothing to do with the question of Wlan.
    You should check your WLan settings again.
