• After logging on my Satellite Pro only black screen and the cursor are visible

  I have a windows vista pro (PSAASE-00G004GR) satellite after turn on and typing the password for windows vista, the screen goes black but I see that the cursor moves & because it seems that the hard drive also works in th background, but I can't see anything except the mouse cursor , I tried to boor with other options (LAST WORK safe MODE KNOWN FEATURES... etc) but it's still the same only black screen and the cursor...

  I do not prefer the product cause of my data recovery on this subject, any ideas?
  thnx

  Hello

  You have the Satellite Pro A100 PSAAS hmm if you want to save your personal data, I recommend to remove the portable computer HARD drive and try connecting it to another computer via an external USB HDD controller. These cases of 2.5 HARD disk are not expensive and you can buy it in every store of the computer.

  Then you could try to recover the laptop delivered together with the Toshiba Recovery CD.
  But wait; have you tried to connect the laptop to the external display?
  Check it!
  Maybe you could see something on the second screen.

  I think that this procedure could be useful to clarify what s wrong.
  To me this question looks like a small little dysfunction of the FL inverter.
  In this case the installation of the new operating system will help you not to solve this problem.

  But who knows the verification is necessary to find what could be wrong.

  Good luck and bye ;)

• Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

  Hello

  My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

  Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

  A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

  As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

  + Windows 7 +.
  + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

  So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

  I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

  I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

  Any help would be grateful.

  Hello

  Have you tried the option of HARD drive recovery?

  If this is not the case, try to set the notebook back to factory settings using HARD drive recovery.
  Turn on the device, press F12, choose repair my computer, then select Toshiba HDD recovery.

  I hope it will work!

  Hello

  It seems that something was tangled up in your Windows installation and the computer can no longer start t.

  In this case, you have only one option and that s reinstalling Windows. Therefore, you can take the (better) Toshiba Recovery disk or a Microsoft Windows XP disk. It will restore factory settings and your computer is read to use again.

• My computer has a black screen and a cursor and there is no menu start more

  Original title: replay Vista operating system

  What I would like to know, is my computer only has a black screen and a cursor, there is no menu start, so I can stop and start a new installation of windows vista? If anyone can help please. I thank you very much for your time and have a fantastic day. Shawn

  Hello

  What changes have been made on your machine for there to be a black screen with a cursor?

  Rather than doing a clean install of your operating system, I suggest you do the following.

  Step 1:

  Remove all external devices (printer, USB flash drive), as appropriate, and start your computer again and check.

  Step 2:

  If this is little help, start your machine in safe mode and check if it starts on the desktop.

  Let us know the status of the issue.

• Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

  I left by mistake a USB in the port when I restarted my computer (Windows 7).

  Since then, when I start the computer, it goes through a few stages starting and then ends with a black screen with a cursor flashing at the top.

  If I press ESC during startup and access the start menu, something marked WED... is highlighted and I press on enter and it starts normally.

  Thank you.

• Invalid product key, left my computer with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot.

  A few days ago, I tried to upgrade Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit) to Windows 10 using the free update. Installation hung at 84% for 2 hours, then restarted, was unable to recover the installation and then could not get back to Win 7. This left us with a black screen and a cursor of the mouse on the boot. The computer would remain in this State for about 10 minutes and then reboot and repeat.

  Fortunately, or so I thought, I had a few CD Windows installation backup from the back to the era of digital river. So I thought I'd install fresh on my empty partition, copy my files and data, and then format the partition with the installation broken on.

  I did, but now he tells me that my product key is not valid and cannot be activated. The product key came on a real label on the PC when we bought it.

  The key is for X 16-96072. I installed X 17-58997 (Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 with SP1 (u)). I don't know what is the problem with the key? Should I have installed without the (u)?

  One key 25 digits grouped in 5 sequences of 5 characters not X 17-58997.

  To analyze and solve problems for Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the diagnostic report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to the desktop -http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
  Once downloaded, run the tool.
  Click on the button continue, after a short time, continue button will change to a copy button.
  Click the copy button in the tool (ignore the error at this stage) and then paste (with r-click and paste or Ctrl + V) in your message.

• Satellite A100-906 - black screen with a cursor

  Hi all

  There is a problem with my Satellite A100-906:

  After having lit - Toshiba page appears - that the loading Windows XP page - more than a black screen with a cursor (the touchpad moveable)... and nothing more.

  That's what I tried without success:

  Detach the battery for over an hour
  Start the computer with battery detached
  Change the default BIOS settings
  Start in Safe Mode - the same black screen with 'safe mode' legends in the 4 corners of the screen.

  Please help with this.

  Hello

  According to your message, the screen of the laptop BIOS is visible and also the Windows screen.
  I think that it s not a hardware problem but a software problem.
  Maybe your operating system is confusing until you think about using the Toshiba Recovery disk and to restore the system?
  I mean you already tried the passage without danger and she didn't so in my opinion, the next step should be the new installation of the OS

• Windows 8 black screen and the cursor after the connection

  Hello. I tried to upgrade to 8.1 Windows 8 Windows and it is stuck on like 3% for one hour, so I just rebooted the computer and he returned to Windows 8. I'm going to sleep and come back the next day and go on my laptop and it auto connects me and it goes to a black screen and I only have the slider on the black screen after login. I don't see the start menu, but I receive notifications for as sticky keys or any other notifications lights. I turned off my computer at least 20 times, took out the battery, empty the battery and tried to boot in safe mode with no luck. It is unlikely that it is an internal problem, because if I leave my computer alone for a few minutes, my screen saver photos appear. If anyone can help me solve this problem or help me get in easier safe mode would make things less stressful. I have an Acer Aspire V5 - 571 series. Thank you.

• Satellite Pro A200 - black screen with a blinking cursor

  Hello

  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem.
  So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor.
  Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.

  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  Please go into the BIOS settings and check if the HARD drive is listed there.
  The blinking cursor is a typical sign of a malfunction of the HARD drive.
  Eventually the HARD drive is dead and you need to replace it and reinstall the operating system.

  Good luck

• Mac Pro black screen and the cursor on startup

  My Mac Pro won't start. He begins the start but stalls on a black screen.  None of the fixes recommended work (I tried them all THE). As I finally understood, it's el Capitan does not like more than one monitor (I have three). When I unplug the two monitors, it starts fine. Yosemite has worked well with three screens, ElCapitan started very well that if I unplugged one of you watching her. The latest version requires me to unplug both monitors so that it can start up.

  What specific Mac Pro?

  What specific graphics cards are installed?

  Are these Mac-Flash cards? They need additional drivers?

  How the monitors are connected?

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

• Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in background

  Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)

  Hello

  I would appreciate your help with the following problem:

  SYMPTOMS: The screen is black, but I see that there is a faint image in background.
  I get a good picture in the external monitor.

  I suspect, _among others_, there may be a faulty * cover sensor / switch *, but I have been unable to locate him, although I have disassembled the unit.

  If anyone knows, please let me have the exact * location * where I should look for the switch.
  Thank you

  > I think, among other things, that there may be a faulty lid switch/sensor

  No, I do not think that its sensor problem.
  I guess that the FL inverter is faulty.

  The FL inverter controls the backlight of the LCD display module.
  Therefore, this part should be checked and if necessary, it must be replaced.

• Satellite Pro U200-> black screen after startup

  Hello

  It happens from time to time when I try to start my PLUA1E Satellite Pro U200-02802QS4, then I get a black screen even from the BIOS.
  What is wrong and how to fix this?

  BTW, I already have this BIOS version: P0044v370.exe installed.

  Hello

  This happens from time to time?
  This means that you can not reproduce this problem?

  Hmm that's not easy to say what the issue might be.
  Maybe the BIOS update will help you at the moment you can find BIOS 3, 7 victory on the European driver Toshiba page.
  If you have a lower BIOS version installed, then I recommend an update.

  It is also possible that this problem is related to some of the material; motherboard, screen, etc.
  In this case the part should be replaced but first of all it of necessary to know what part is affected and I think that the technician of the ASP for this
