• 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.

• Satellite Pro A300: Problem with Microsoft Security Essentials

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 with XP SP3 and now deleted AVG Free and installed Microsoft Security Essentialls (MSE).

  The result is after installing MSE and begin my laptop cursor is stuck in the center of the screen and will not respond to the inputs of the mouse or the keyboard.

  In aid of F12 to get my startup options allowed me to try the Safe Mode and last known good Configuration etc but they all show the same functionality, IE freeze when the desktop appears. XP seems to be operating in the background, for example system clock stays on time, "notice" system if its wifi singal is removed etc.

  Just to make the day to try to do an OS reinstall pressing 0 to on has no effect - system just boots in XP - so I can't my recovery partition!

  I have now is not a HW problem as the /kbd cursor works if I boot into a non-windows system, for example UBUNTU CD

  Any suggestions welcome - such as can I download a recovery on antother PC CD and burn a recovery CD?

  Hello

  I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
  I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.

  But this would format the system partition :(

  In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
  Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

• Satellite Pro A300 - blue snow on screen

  After about 20 months trouble free operation, my Satellite Pro A300 has developed an intermittent failure annoyingly screen appears where a scattering of blue pixels, most noticeably on a white background. Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.

  Any idea what's going on? Any help appreciated.

  > Generally any form of action (including a proverbial "click") clears the screen until the next time it happens.
  Means that they are not dead pixels or something like that in this case, it could be a graphics related issue.
  Have you tested this external monitor? Pixels appear on the second screen?
  If so, then this might be a GPU question

  But you can also check if an update of the driver can be useful of course the old driver must be uninstalled and then the new driver update must be installed.

  However, it smells like a hardware problem, so I'm not sure if a driver update that would improve

• Satellite Pro L510 - crashes and blue screen

  Hello
  I am a new user of the Toshiba Satellite Pro L510, since last September, barely 3 months.
  Recently, had met 2 crashes (2nd is today s). As it happened today, there are blue screen that appears, which included messages like 'crash', 'written' physical memory... etc.

  In addition to send it for repair for this new laptop, I don't know what is the best way to manage this accident and what might be the best way to prevent this accident.

  Recently I installed programs such as Microsoft SQL Server 2008, anti-virus program (Sophos), which I think are necessary (the first was for my studies as well).

  Would appreciate any pointers to advise me if these could be the causes of the accident, and that I have to do to keep the better laptop or y at - it any generic deficiency maybe I should take notes.

  Thanks in advance for any advice for this laptop.
  Kind regards

  Hey,.

  First of all, I must say it is very difficult to say whether this problem is software or hardware related, but in most cases these accidents are caused by software or drivers...

  I put t know how many programs you have installed, what OS you use and if there are compatibility problems, but you can test it yourself: Toshiba start recovery disc recovery facility. After that, you have the same settings that you have purchased.

  You should examine it a little these parameters. If everything is ok, it was just a problem software or driver. ;)

• Windows 7 Pro: crashes with white screen after login

  Dear community,

  I have an annoying bug with Windows 7 Professional (64-bit version) and could not find any problem even until that or other forums.

  After logging in (choose user and entering the password), the "Welcome" screen appears for a few seconds. Then there is a blank wallpaper (i.e. According to the user settings) and the system is blocked. Everything you see is a mouse cursor (a regular), who move, but not possible interaction.

  It does not work to get the Task Manager with CTRL-ALT-DEL in that State, and at least until 30 minutes just don't get past/changes. However, there is ongoing activity of hard disk, according to the LED. Only way out is to cut using the power switch.

  The accident happened exactly regularly, but about every start of the second. Sometimes more often (i.e. it takes 3 or 4 attempts to open a session) or sometimes less often (i.e. up to 3 or 4 boots without problem).

  Other than that, it is once you have successfully connected, the system works very well.

  I tried to remove the user and re-create it, but the bug reappears immediately after.

  Any ideas? Or advice where I could find what program/process is actually blocked?

  Hi Ruth & all,

  Thanks for your suggestions.

  Troubleshooting took a long time, because I do not use this PC every day and sometimes you can't tell if the problem is really gone or the boot just happened to work several times in a row...

  After all, using the clean boot and the reactivation of services/startup items one by one, it seems that I could single out the Internet of G-Data as a cause security suite. I'm trying to do, with their support, if this is a known bug.

  Best,

  Colin

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - Windows startup with a wrong display resolution

  OK so I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 64 bit and an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphics card.

  Recently, I have connected my laptop to a TV using the S-video connection. It worked well. The problem is that since then, and every time I start my laptop Windows starts with S-video of 600 x 800 display resolution.

  I tried changing the settings in the Panel and using the ATI CCC, having once selected and applied these settings, but whenever Windows starts now it starts with the above display resolution.

  As a result, I've also uninstalled and reinstalled my display driver both package Toshiba value added but the same problem persists. I searched with Google about this problem and have not been able to find something useful.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi dude

  How did you produce the video signal?
  Did you choose Office expanded or all simply the option external monitor by using the FN + F5?

  I think that you need to press once more the Fn + F5 and should switch to a view, internal laptop display.

  Please check if this could help you!

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - my bluescreens disappeared when the BIOS has been upgraded

  I'm curious to know about it. The machine is a Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista32/Win7.
  Had problems with bluescreen dumps referring to 'iaStor.sys '. I was about to send the laptop in for repair when I made this last effort to resolve the problem. Upgrade 1.9 to 2 BIOS, 1 - Win.

  All of a sudden my system image succeeded! Even at an Iomega home network HDD. Without complex!
  No blue screen exports even at startup 'cold' (after a free night)!

  For now, I leave the computer in sleep mode while I am at work. Let's see if he managed a day without landfills.

  What is the technical difference between 1.9 and 2.1 BIOS? No idea if it's something with iaStor.sys to do?

  Hi mate

  This is really good news as your BSOD displeasured after the BIOS update.
  The BIOS give instructions to the test power - on self test (POST) and provide basic information on how to manage components of the laptop, as HDD, ODD memory, that are required to load the operating system.

  Who knows, what was changed in the update but the main thing is that all the work and the update solve your BSOD

  > No idea if she has something with iaStor.sys to do?
  iaStor.sys is part of the SATA driver who is required to recognize the HARD drive using AHCI mode.

• Satellite Pro A300-28V - cannot create own recovery disks

  Have a portable Satellite Pro A300-28V with Vista Business 32. After a HARD disk recovery partition recovery, I decided to use the PC function full system backup to make a picture for later retrieval with all my current settings. Too inconvenient for factory reset default (Thunderbird 3.0 Mail, Open Office and some other small applications already running no problem for years on another computer in the office).

  The system needs 5 to 9 DVD and he wrote the first DVD. Takes about 30 minutes. Then, during the audit of this disc, it crashes. Audit bar stops at about 30% complete.
  Anyone with this experience? No, the company "Complete PC Image" works well on an OEM of Vista installation?
  Or maybe it's the DVD player in need of an update? I do not use a 3rd party burning software.

  Hello

  What program you use to create your own recovery discs? For example, I mean Acronis, Norton Ghost, etc..

  In your case I would try with another program like Nero or CD Burner XP burning.
  In addition, you can try to remove upper and lower filters in the Windows registry, maybe that will work.

  Finally, and especially on the Toshiba site, you can check if there is an update to the firmware of your CD/DVD drive.

• Satellite Pro A300-1OP - Missing FEPs disk partition E:\

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A300-1OP with Windows Vista.

  The hard disk is partitioned into C:\ and E:\, each about 75 GB with a hidden options of system recovery partition. E: / shows that about 5MB, left free while C:\ shows 28GB. However, the list of files/folders to E: / shows a total of about only 10 GB. I put the hidden files & folders to be displayed in the Control Panel/appearance but no more are listed to explain the "disappeared" 65GB. I also have a warning window telling me to free up space in E:\ drive to appear.

  What is the problem and how to fix it? I run Disk Cleanup, but get more no free space.

  I am quite often here on this forum and I always wonder what kind of problems people have with their laptops.
  If you created the recovery DVDs move all the files to the C partition and start the computer management > disk management. Deleting a volume E second partition). After having this recreate and do the full format.

  It will be interesting to know if the partition will display correctly after that. If so, move all the data back and hope that everything will be OK again.
  Please note: after doing this, it may happen that you will not be able to create recovery DVD or use HARD drive recovery facility then please do this if you created DVDs.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - how to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

  I tried to enable the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and the setting is disabled and I was unable to change the setting to activate. I have flashed the BIOS to the new version, and now how to enable virtualization has completely disappeared.
  The laptop model is Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 Professional and BIOS version 2.10.

  How do I enable virtualization setting so I can run Windows Virtual PC mode to run compatible programs XP?

  Hello

  Did you check the specifications of your laptop first?

  The fact is that the processor must support this virtualization and according to the Web of Toshiba site, your laptop is equipped with processor Core 2 Duo T5870.
  I checked this on the page of Intel CPU and virtualization isn't supported. That means t, you can use this feature!

  What operating system do you use on your laptop?
  If you use Vista, this document could be useful for you:
  http://195.182.196.33/KB0/TSB7101OB0006R01.htm

  This should normally does not affect the recovery of HARD drive but make sure to burn the disc of recovery if you didn t it yet.

  If you have the recovery disk, you are on the safe side.
