Satellite Pro M10: image on the screen is very dark

I have a portable Satellite Pro M10, which has a black screen, i.e. the backlight does not work. There is an image on the screen, but it is very dark. When you connect an external monitor, I get a normal picture on this screen.

Information from other messages here, I conclude that there is a problem with the backlight of the lcd screen or the inverter. I checked all connections, but it does not solve the problem. If I bring the laptop to a service center how much it will cost about for repair? The thing is 2-3 years, so if it is very expensive I could better get a new laptop.

I'm sure I'll be able to change the inverter Board myself, but how am I going to be able to determine that the inverter is the problem? How to get a new inverter? Is anyone of you know the number of good product?

My Pro M10 itself has PS630E-G205Z-OF product number.

Hello

I agree with Tobi. You sounds description as a faulty FL inverter.
This part is placed behind the LCD screen under the lid.
As mentioned this part isn t very expensive and you could order the partner of Toshiba service in your country. But be aware that if you have no experience of replacement if you ask technicians for assistance.

  • Problem of backlight Satellite Pro L10 - the screen is very dark

    Hello

    I've got a L10 Pro of the Satellite with a backlight problem - the screen is very dark.
    How can I confirm if it is the backlight themselves who have failed or the backlight inverter Board?

    Also, can someone point me in the right direction for a copy of the workshop manual?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    As you have said that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL and in most cases, the FL inverter needs to be replaced.
    It's a little bit complicated and it s not desirable to try to replace it to your own hand as this may damage the screen of laptop computers.
    This is why I would really recommend contacting a Toshiba ASP because of two important reasons:
    First reason is that you can order the ASP compatible FL inverter and the second reason is that an ASP could provide help how to replace this part.

    If you want to know where and how he placed s then you can visit this page:
    http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

    Of course, this page shows only the wow of instruction to remove and replace the Satellite A105 FL inverter, but the procedure is not very different from the Sat L10.

    But like I said above; If you have no experience don t do anything, which could damage the laptop!

  • Satellite Pro M10 overheating and the fan runs loud

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and when it is the fan on the power grid comes shortly after the start and makes a horrible noise - this has only started happening recently. I tried spraying compressed air (dust) to the air outlet and still have the same problem.

    Other postings say to clean the fan, but I don't know how to access it. I'm worried about overheating problems I work in Africa much of the time and the laptop is subject to hot temperatures.

    Hi Hannah,

    The easy way to clear the dust and debris from the cooling system is to use a vacuum cleaner hose placed on the admission air grids that are usually in the bottom of the laptop (covered by a grid). For maximum effect, I usually place a rag around the pipe to maximize the flow of air through the fans.

    This causes air suction through the radiator CPU the wrong way and ensures that all debris are not pulled into the heatsink, but are removed by fans. You can see a ball of down under the grates that you need to try to clear little by little.

    This technique will not void your warranty since no disassembly of the unit is necessary.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro A210 - dead on the screen pixel

    Hello

    I bought a laptop Satellite Pro A210 seris.
    Professional Vitsa.

    When I first turned it on, I noticed at the same time there is a broken pixel!

    The ASP said that unless at least 7 pixals are broken, they won't do anything!

    I am now wondering, how long it will be before more pixels don't work more, or if it will stay the same it is to say:
    Just the one pixel?
    Anyone know what I can do about it and that it will be just a matter of short time before my monitor goes together?

    I would really apprecaite any advice with this, from course I am sure you will understand that I am new to laptops.

    Thanks so much for anyone who can give me some info etc. or help with this.

  • Satellite Pro M30: rim around the screen is broken

    I have a problem with the screen on my M30.

    He began to blur and sometimes it goes black, but turns on instantly.

    The black border around the screen is broken in the lower left corner, it never really seemed to be able to follow the screen correctly, and there are some time (a month or two) he snapped.

    It seems to me that there could be a loose or faulty connection somewhere. The problem often appears when I try to adjust the screen or move the computer. Someone has an idea of what might work?

    Hello

    Looks like this isn't something "fix-it-yourself". You should consider contacting an ASP for the fixed machine.
    The LCD mask is cosmetic and could be left off-, but the question of the LCD (screen goes fuzzy and come back) looks like to a defective part (LCD, wiring, PCB) or a bad connection on this path.

    If you still have the warranty - go to an ASP. If this is not the case, ask for a quote.

  • Satellite Pro 6000 freezes and the screen is weird random pattern

    Hello

    I recently bought a SP6000 second-hand advertised as having "graphics problems". After 10 minutes or use the laptop freezes and the screen has a strange random pattern all acorss it. The speakers are also a strange hum. I have to stop the laptop and restart.

    I've updated the bios and drivers for card video from the toshiba site, but he always does. Can anyone help?

    Hello

    It's not easy to say why this problem occurs. You have purchased a second hand unit. It is possible that your device has a hardware malfunction, but I can't give you an answer why it is happening. I suppose that temperature increases after 10 min of use.
    Maybe this could be a problem. It could also be a fault of the motherboard. But these are just suggestions. In my opinion, you should ask the service for detailed information.

  • Satellite Pro M10: Display of the strange problem

    I have a M10 Pro of the Satellite with 14 inch display is 6 weeks out of warranty.

    The other day, I got cold room and the display went funny - odd pixels, green and black with small points which then becomes more clear screen so that the entire screen is a mixture of points fluorescent which becomes white and then things come back.

    Then, the cycle repeats itself after a few seconds.

    I perform a restart and everything's going well for a while, and then it restarts. I move the laptop in a cold room and it's ok again. I can't understand that the issue occurs on Windows XP and SUSE 9.0 (although it just hangs). I have run SpyBot, have the latest virus checkers, the update of Windows (SP2) and NVidia drivers.

    Any ideas?

    Seemed to have solved the problem by dismantling the machine, could not do not get all the way and completely remove the top from the bottom as there seems to be a hidden screw. Everything is fine now, could have been the fact that some of the screws were loose.

    Also had a full SpyBot and Virus Check.

    I also had to re - save under a different name, since it is "Specific country" even if I thought that I had, I now have three profiles - two I created recently, and one I could not remember the username for, would be really better if password request tells you the user name to an e-mail address it is registered. It's really hard to keep track of them so I have a lot of connections as a computer scientist. Really really annoying and stupid system.

  • Satellite Pro M10 - location of the mini-pci slot?

    Hello

    I have a M10 Pro of the Satellite with a mini-PCI Intel Pro 2100. Now, I wanted to put in a new card, but I can't find the mini-pci slot? I opened all the way down, but there nothing. Where is it located and what is the best way to open the laptop? I guess a lot of screws must come out...

    Hello

    Well, as far as I know the mini-PCI card is under the keyboard. In this case, you will need to remove the unit covers. But if you open Notepad, you will lose the warranty.
    In my opinion, you should contact the ASP for help and detailed descriptions.

    Good bye

  • HDD upgrade on Satellite Pro M10 - problem with the IDE connector

    Hope someone can help me here.

    I'm trying to adapt a 80 GB HDD to the M10 and I managed to get the Hong Kong HDD caddy, but no matter where I turn, I can not find the right IDE connector.
    If anyone can give me a link to a vendor, I'd be really grateful. I had this project will for about 4 months now and she crawled to a halt.

    Thank you.

    I think that this Assembly to support Toshiba HDD (hard drive) (number P000370340) must be compatible for the HARD drive.

    In addition, I think you need something like this:

  • Satellite Pro M10: What is the max possible CPU

    What is the maximum possible processor to use in this laptop? Thank you!

    The laptop has one of the following processors, which includes 64KB
    L1 cache and 1 MB cache L2:

    Processor Intel Pentium M 1.3 GHz
    Processor Intel Pentium M 1.4GHz
    Processor Intel Pentium M 1.5GHz

    Generally, it should be able to use one of the processors listed above. But I read in this forum that Toshiba does not support updates and so you could upgrade the processor only at your own risk!

    Hello

    Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. As this feature has been added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there are still some problems.

    You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    Then perform the following steps:

    • Click on the orange top left Firefox button, then select the 'Options' button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to tools > Options.
    • In the Firefox options window, click the Advanced tab, and then select 'General '.
    • You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    • Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

    Troubleshoot extensions, themes, and issues of hardware acceleration to resolve common problems of Firefox

    Update your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL

    This solve your problems? Please report to us!

  • Need help to install the new hard drive in Satellite Pro M10

    Hi all

    My hard drive died in my M10 Pro Satellite so I decided to adapt to another.
    It fits very well in the caddy, but just does not want to slot into place correctly as something seems to be stopped.
    The M10 only accepts a certain brand/model?
    Also, nobody knows this as the largest capacity M10 will accept?
    Thank you very much.

    Concerning
    J

    As much as I know should not be problem at all. Take the old and the new HARD drive and compare the connectors. I hope that they are the same. I can only imagine that the new HD is not placed correctly in the HARD drive bracket. Make sure that the new is placed as an old man after his retirement from the laptop.

    As for max capacity of HARD drive, there is no precise information and we can only speculate on this. Try to use the search option on this forum. Maybe someone already talked to upgrade the HDD on Sam/Satellite Pro M10.

    The fact is that Satellite Pro comes with 30, 40 and 60 GB hard drives. How many GB does your new HARD drive?

  • Satellite Pro M10 Fn + F5 does not not after login?

    Im hoping someone can help me. IM totally confused.
    Im a projector off a Satellite Pro M10 running. The Fn + F5 works perfectly all the way up to the CTRL - ALT - DELETE prompt. Even at this stage, I can still Fn - F5 and look through the settings. As soon as I connect the FN - F5 does nothing? I deleted all monitors, reinstalled the video card with the latest driver and installed the key utility function of the device from the website?
    I guess it must be something with the display settings once the user connects, but I can't get out? I tried to take the setting down to the basic 16-bit and 800 x 600, but it makes no difference?
    Any help or pointers would be helpful?
    Thank you
    Mark

    Hello

    Sorry, but tells you is a little confuse.
    The FN + F5 combination allows to switch between display devices. You can choose an external monitor, TV etc.
    If you want to use the FN keys, you need to install the driver Toshiba display Utility (change of display device) and change the Hotkey utilities for display devices.

    These two applications are responsible of the correctly using the FN + F5 option.
    The graphic display driver has nothing to do with the FN + F5 keys.

  • T61 screen becomes very dark

    I had this T61 for almost 6 years. Now, I turn on the laptop, the screen is very dark and nothing is displayed. But when I close the screen and open again, the screen starts to work with the color red on bottom. This will keep a few seconds, then it flashes and go dark again. Meanwhile, the laptop will automatically transfer mode 'sleep'. Can someone give me some suggestions on what do I do please?

    Thank you very much

    Wei

    Welcome to the forum!

    The backlight (CCFL) in your screen is on its last leg, the reddish color is a dead giveaway.

    Your T61 needs a new LCD.
