Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c very dark display

Hello

The display on my Satellite Pro L300 - 29 c is very, very dark. It's dark, both during POST / in the BIOS and configuration once Windows loads. The brightness of the screen (Fn + F7) is set to the maximum. If I plug in an external display, which works perfectly. I can say that this model is not a physical wheel or something similar that controls the brightness of the screen.

Should I have a hardware failure? Is this something fixable by the user?

Thanks in advance.

I can't say for sure, but I think FL inverter is faulty (backlight) and it should be replaced.
The FL Inverter control the backlight. It is important that FL Inverter are not too expensive part.
I take in a Toshiba certified maintainer and ask for help.

    Hello

    hope someone can point me in the right direction. I just bought a re-conditioned by Satellite Pro L300 Model PSLB1E of Dabs.com.
    He worked for about 20 minutes and then I got a blue screen error (I think that I just tried to open Windows Media Player when this happened).
    Sorry, but I didn't note down the error however seem to recall he mentioned win30.dll?

    Now, when I turn on the laptop I can hear things fan etc but there is no display on the screen.
    I don't know what to do and I have no warranty documentation.
    Suggestions this is appreciated please.

    Are you able to start, any bootable disks, Win XP, Win Vista, Linux live CD, etc.

    Please check this!

    But if you will not be able to boot from these disks, then you must contact the ASP (authorized service provider) in your country, because this problem looks a little more hardware related problem.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro L300: How to change the display settings

    Hi I have a toshiba satellite pro l300 run a pentium dual core and intel 965 display chip any games I play on my laptop, they open in a small box and not full screen I've had a quick glance at the settings to try to resolve this with no luck.

    Can someone tell me if there is a way to change the settings to get the games to play in full screen, my current display settings are 1280 x 800 pixels and running at 32-bit color.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    You should set this option to full screen in the games you play. Checked for these options, because you are given something like graphics, solution details and in most cases should be windowed.

    One thing you might try is to uninstall your current display drivers, and then reinstall new ones. Make sure that you use tools like ccleaner cleaning record or similar.
    Check if you have installed all the latest updates of windows and directx version, if you are using Windows XP.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Display works only on the external monitor

    I received my new Satellite Pro L300 tonight & followed the instructions one by one. Although the power etc. lights were turned on, I had no monitor display at all. I then plugged on my old pc monitor who * fact * work. I tried pressing Fn + F5 but still nothing on the screen of the laptop?

    Thank you, Adam.

    I think you need to bring your laptop to an ASP. They can check your laptop and exchange all necessary parts.
    I think that your laptop is under warranty, if the repair is free for you :)

    On the Toshiba site, you can search an ASP:

  • Satellite Pro L300 1AD is unable to install the Windows XP display driver

    I just installed XP on my Satellite pro because my internet modem doesn't work with Vista.

    I went to the main site of Toshiba to install display drivers, but they moved it, it keeps bringing the message "this driver is not for this computer please contact manufacturer.

    I put t understand why because all the other drivers that I downloaded on the same work, it's just the display one page. Does anyone know what's wrong?

    You have downloaded the latest driver for Satellite Pro L300?
    On the Toshiba site it s version 6.14.10.4953.

    An alternative, you can try the drivers from Intel, but normally the Toshiba driver should work.
    I always use the driver from Toshiba and never had any problems.

    Furthermore, I looked on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A660 - display problems, very dark display

    Hello

    I'm at the end of help please.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 PSAW3A-07P00R.

    recently, it has been very, very dark display on the screen, almost impossible to see.
    I tried the following the problem solved.

    1. set the brightness to the MAX in the operating system, power management, etc.
    2 reset the BIOS to default settings.
    3. set the brightness to the MAX on the laptop brightness settings.
    4. check the external display via a VGA cable. tested ok.
    5. I bought a new LED 16 "screen but the new screen has the same problems. If I understand correctly, LED screens (1 data cable video on the bottom of the screen to connect to the motherboard) have the "inverter" built into the display, so appears not to be a problem of map display, brightness or graphics. I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

    is there something easy, I missed, or something I have not tried?
    has anyone else experienced this problem and solved?

    Thank you in advance.

    > I would be fair to assume that this is related to the data cable from the screen? If Yes, is a piece that can come from Toshiba? or something easily fixable?

    As much as I know there is no FL inverter then, or you can override the display or the cable (LCD/FL)
    LVDS cable) with a new one and the test shows again.
    I found a compatible: K000103140 LVDS CABLE

  • Will XP work very well on a Vista Satellite Pro L300-153

    Hello

    I'll buy the Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-153 vista laptop, but I intend to use XP on it.
    If I destroy the entire vista and install XP, then use all of the drivers listed on this site for XP, my system would work fine with XP but it's a computer vista laptop?

    I don't see a reason why it should not work well. If Toshiba offers the drivers for this model of laptop, it must be tested.

    For the installation of Windows XP Home edition, I recommend using Windows XP SP2 home edition.
    Do not vorget to create DVDs of recovery before you remove the Vista system.

  • Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9A) - black of blinks twice every time

    In this case, you must contact an authorized service provider because your laptop should be under warranty and so repair should be free.

  • Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

    Dear lovers of Toshiba:

    This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

    The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

    We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

    A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

    My question is of two parts:
    # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
    # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
    I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

    Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

    Thank you, Robert Phair
    Director.

    > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

    Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
    So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
    By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

    I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

    > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

    It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

    So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
    In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

    > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
    I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
    So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

  • Re: Satellite Pro L300 - screen resolution maximum?

    I just bought an external monitor for my L300. The screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, but the maximum available on my L300 is 1280 x 800. The utility Service Station tells me that all my drivers are up to date - is there a way I can increase the graphics resolution? Any suggestions much appreciated!

    Hi PeterSouthon,

    Need to unlock the other screen resolutions. Simply uncheck the option Hide modes that this monitor cannot display as you can see on [THIS | http://blog.wildvista.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/Lightroom_hide_modes-340x400.png] photo.

    After unchecking this box, you should be able to use the native screen resolution of your external display.

  • BSOD STOP 0 x 00008086 on Satellite Pro L300 - 1 K PSLB9E

    Hello

    My son came back from uni with his laptop which, to quote ' is knacked - no idea what the problem - been like that for weeks...» »

    At startup, it goes to the green bar of process, then goes off, then comes up with the BSOD - technical details: Stop:

    0 x 00008086 (0x00000000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000) (0x00000000)

    At this point, I didn't get any action with her, when I make a bad situation worse.

    The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - 1 K (PSLB9E) running Windows Vista.
    (I would provide more information, if I could, but can't until I can start to check specifications)

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    BSOD can be caused by a hardware or software problem.
    First of all, you should check if it s not software related issue.
    In such cases, it of needed to reinstall the Windows operating system.
    Usually the new OS installed should not cause any BSOD!

    If the Toshiba Recovery disk does not help you, then you should start to investigate
    It may be a cause of modules defective memory BSOD issue very often.

    However, if you have no knowledge about computers, then you should ask a technician to downtown to control parts.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - no sound with Win7 64

    I have the laptop according to:

    [Satellite Pro L300-1AF | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?PRODUCT_ID=1058007&DISC _topSpeed = 1 & service = UK]

    I installed Win7 on the laptop, and now I can't get any sound. When you set the volume control, the level display changes on the operating system, so I guess everything is ok with the connections. I tried many different drivers, including the currently recommended drivers, as well as all the previous pilots (including drivers for different versions of the VICTORY, as suggested on some forums) after many hours trying to solve the problem, nothing seems to work.

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Hello

    This means that the sound card is properly installed in Device Manager and you don t have no yellow exclamation?

    Perhaps portable speakers are silent. Simply press the combination of keys FN + ESC enable/disable sound.

  • Satellite Pro L300 starts flashing led no-battery

    Hello world

    My Satellite Pro L300 stopped working suddenly: nothing terrible happened, such as fall or other accident, so I can't explain what went wrong.

    The situation is: I have the laptop with the battery inside and connected to the power cable. I press the power button and battery led 5 times with the orange light just flashes. It doesen't start, not even the fan, just stay still. Same thing if I disconnect the power cable.

    If I remove the battery it doesn't blink even led orange.

    Does anyone know what could have happened?

    Thank you very much and sorry for my bad English!

    Silvia

    Hello Silvia

    I can't say for sure, but power led flashing is typical when there is a problem with power supply and electronic power supply.

    If you cannot start the laptop with AC power only (remove battery) then you need professional help with this.
    Sorry, but I m afraid there is nothing you can do about it.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - second defective memory Slot?

    Hi, I'm trying to install 4 GB of memory in a laptop Satellite Pro L300. This kind of thing, I did a thousand times before.

    However, every time I install a module of memory in the second memory slot, the laptop will be a blue screen when windows is loaded. Even running memtest (via bootable cd) will result in a block, so it is not for lack of Windows.

    I have the latest version of the BIOS installed (1.50)

    Each module of memory works perfectly in the main location on its own.

    With the help of a single module of memory in the memory secondary slot (even the original 1 GB module) translates the laptop does not even start.

    Is this a known issue? Or is it just a second faulty slot?

    Thank you very much!

    Maybe it's a non compatible memory module.

    What model of laptop you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
    What extra RAM you bought?
    Have you checked the compatibility?

    To be honest on this forum you will find many forums where people have described the same problem after upgrade. Most of these problems described was linked to the use of markets and not compatible good RAM modules.

  • Satellite Pro L300: x 3100 and updated updated driver chipset Intel 965 graphics

    Has anyone installed the Intel 7.15.10.1666 driver, dated 02/26/2009 for the Mobile 965 chipset? Here is their web page to download:

    http://www.Intel.com/support/graphics/intelgm965/

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 doesn't work for some reason unknown to me, with the automatic update driver Intel (download containing the executable file). Therefore, I followed the instructions for manual installation (the download with the zip file).

    My laptop works fine with this new driver, and there is a clear improvement in the transitions between images when you use the option to Windows presentation (slideshow).

    This new driver installs also 3 Intel graphics programs:
    For the management of the display function keys
    Access to the system tray
    Wizard TV

    I used Windows Defender to remove these 3 programs that load automatically at startup of the system to maintain a fast startup time and not loading unnecessary programs in memory. There is no me no problem.

    Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?

    Hello

    Thanks for this second info...

    > Why Toshiba has added that this to the driver download page?
    Who knows maybe it has not been verified, approved and tested by Toshiba?

    As far as I know every phone manufacturers test and approve drivers before they will be released in the pages of pilot
    Perhaps, it has not been approved...

    However, it s good new that this driver works correctly.
    I'll check it too on my laptop.
