Satellite Pro P100-188: screen keeps blinking on and off at random intervals tension

If anyone can help me with my computer so please PLEASE publish it because I have no idea of what is happening to her.

I just bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 - 188 Dual Core and I'm having a problem with it. Sometimes (not all the time) if the computer is plugged in or not, the screen flashes and repeatedly and then will slow down and its suspicious home.

I have no idea what's wrong with it, I sent it to the store where I bought to be fixed and they just he sent to me, but the problem persisted. They say they have done tests on the machine and can't find anything wrong with it, but if that were the case, then it only would not have messed up again.

What is just a software problem? The screen seems to flicker on and off at intervals irregular or not I'm in the middle of using it or not. All the drivers are the latest drivers and I admit now that I'm at my wits end.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Hello

This seems very odd. However, you posted that this problem happens sometimes and not all the time.
In my opinion I n t think that the software could be responsible for this issue.
Perhaps one loses the connection cable? But believe me; It's not easy to say what's wrong without diagnostic tests.
You have suggested that you have sent the unit to the store.

I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Technicians must check the laptop.

  • ITunes screen keeps flashing on and off since the last update on windows PC.

    Hi, since the latest itunes update, my screen flashes on and off whenever I am in itunes.  ITunes crashes regularly.  I am able to download music without problem.  The flashing light does not occur when I'm in my own music, just at the moment when I am on itunes.  Any suggestions?  Thanks for the help!

    Download iTunes from http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/ 12.3.2.35 and reinstall.  Apple have eliminated a update in the last 24 hours (which very badly, they identified as a separate release or generation) which sets store flashing screen which affect the initial version (9 December) of 12.3.2.35.

  • Satellite Pro P100-327 screen color depth/quality problem

    Hi guys, my first post! Had my Tosh for 3 years now. I now have a problem with the display. It seems that the color depth is really down or something... as I stumble on the 8-bit color depth. Everything seems strongly Posterization in the graphical sense.

    I uninstalled the video drivers and reinstalled a new, former, a version of toshiba, a version of the nvidia driver and all have no effect on the problem. No joy!

    I went through and checked all the settings of resolution and color depth, and trawled through the many pages of settings nvidia and played with all the reasonable parameters to find the problem. No change. All reset to how I found it.

    I've been reading through the forums and not really found something specific. If I missed it, then I would a link here slapped on my face to show how incompetent I am! ;)

    I will however try to disconnect the battery and the power for an hour and turn it on again later as this seems to be the standard solution or must try for everything. What do this exactly? Reset of the BIOS/CMOS etc?

    Thanks in advance!

    You have the same problem if you connect the external monitor to your laptop?
    Have you tried to test already?

  • Satellite Pro P100 - screen and sound problems after upgrade to Windows 7

    Hi all

    I got my Satellite Pro P100 (model number is PSPAEE-00C006EN and the second digit of the serial number is '7') upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and since then, some bugs seem to have had place - can someone help me on the following:

    -L' screen DIMS increments, irrespective of the fact that I have saved my power settings to stay on FULL (battery or sector)

    -No sound. Once or twice, the sound card worked and settings to say this works correctly (and you can see the movement of the graphic equalizer).
    In terms of PC knowledge, I would be 5/10 (so not a dummy, but certainly not a pro! and we tried a lot of the more obvious things)

    Thank you all

    Hello

    1.) if the screen dim option doesn't properly work, I recommend you to reinstall Toshiba Value added Package. This package controls these functions, the keys FN and others. Visit the Toshiba page for an update!

    2.) did you check if the sound is muted if the equalizer work? In addition you can also try to update the audio driver might it work ;)

  • Satellite Pro P100 - GPU and CPU temperature question

    Hello

    I took my Satellite Pro P100 totally out, clean the radiator and vents.
    Also applied new thermal paste.

    The GPU is idling around 50 ° C fan always on
    The CPU is idling around 40-45 ° C fan always on

    To my other Qosmio G30 with a Geforce Go 7600, I got Idle at 35-38 ° C and about the same CPU!

    Then, normal time for the satellite pro or are there settings that I could use to reduce times?
    BIOS is the last of Toshiba, toshiba driver and win 7 power managemnt powersaving...

    Kind regards

    > The GPU is idling around 50 ° C fan always on
    > The CPU is idling around 40-45 ° C fan always on

    I put t think its too high in my opinion the temperature seems ok.

  • Satellite Pro P100: I think that my graphics card is defective

    I have a satellite Pro P100 with a GeForce Go 7600 and think that graphic design is faulty. I was playing a game that has good graphics and I was testing the FPS cause it was laggy.

    On average, that a decent graphics card must be able to give an SPF of 20-29 but my geforce go overlooked 9-13, but I have a Satellite M60-164 before this laptop with a Mobility Radeon X 1700 graphics card and he played much better give me the range good fps. But maybe the Geforce could well be a bad card in general.

    Is it possible to update the graphics in the P100? He says dedicated graphics card.

    Hello

    first of all, no can´t you don't share your graphics card because the card is "wired" on the circuit board. With dedicated was he has it s own graphic memory and does not have a main RAM memory to use as graphics memory.

    Regarding your performance:
    Would be interesting what operating system you are using. In the case of Vista, I understand why performance is not good, because vista requires so many resources that the rest of the apps/games would not get the necessary resources for the successful REALLY.
    If you have Windows XP, then update your drivers, but use drivers on sites like:

    http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/ (2 GB LaptopVideo & NVIDIA Related News)
    http://www.OmegaDrivers.NET/ (OmegaDrivers.net - home of the Omega Drivers for desktop/laptop ATI & NVIDIA cards)

    because these drivers are almost on mobile systems, and they use the most versions of real driver of ATI and Nvidia.

    Just try it and give some feedback.

    Satellite Pro P100: Three strange things on an otherwise beautiful machine

    1 Ethernet limited to 100 Kbps (at this level it really should have been 1 GB)
    2. no micro internal (can't understand why they who excluded)
    3. most irritating batch - top N2 digital key has "where @ should be but the guys @ when you shift press on it." The ' has @ where "should be and type" when you shift press on it. If I was a touch typist and did not look at the keybourd while typing but I'm a Visual typist and I'm continually spoil it - and I'm used to it. If a techie works on my machine, he made his nut.

    Toshiba there perhaps the keys to spare for us?

    Hello

    (1) it is very strange because the satellite Pro P100 was equipped Gbit Lan card and you should be able to use it. I think there could be some bad LAN setting in Lan Card Properties. Check it! You can access it in the Device Manager-> ECS-> Lan card-> properties. It is then a new window and you will find the different tabs. Here check the Advanced tab

    (2) what to say, Toshiba seems different designs for laptop series with different hardware configurations. Your P100 was not equipped with the internal mic. This is why you must use an external mic.

    (3) sorry, buddy, but I do not agree with you.
    This isn't a hardware problem. You use the keyboard language settings simply false. Yes! It s a matter of adjustment.
    I assume that you use the English (United Kingdom) and non-English (United States).

  • Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEE guard screen goes white/black

    I have a Satellite Pro P100-PSPAEE running Vista Ultimate. Recently, the screen started going black and white during the day. It does not seem to be asleep like nothing refreshes the screen. All I can do is hold the power button and restart the laptop. Have tried rash, the compressed air fan and have re - configure the minimum processor power management to 100%. Am still getting the problem everyone else encountered this problem and have you found a solution, I would prefer not to have to open the laptop and play with the heat sink.

    Don't you think that this problem could be related to problems of overheating?
    Eventually it s only a software problem

    So try first update the graphics driver and BIOS!

    One question; have you noticed the same issue using the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

  • Behavior strange screen/video Satellite Pro P100-109

    I have a strange problem with my Satellite Pro (P100-109 model pspa3e 00n009du). I edge video card printing is letting me down, so if anyone has a solution so please help!

    Yesterday, while working properly since I bought the machine, I had a strange video behavior. Black icon arround windows not updated correctly etc.
    After a restart of the system, these problems seemed resolved, but it lasted just a view minutes.
    After awhile, I got a blue screen (BCCode: ea BCP1...) BCP4:00000001 SP: 2.0) learned Internet research that his had to do with the video driver.

    Symptoms of the display:
    -Vertical dotted lines shown on the screen of the bios toshiba (variety of colors)
    -Loading of Windows show a few vertical lines as well
    -After loading the clickable elements appear black (not titles of window - no buttons shown/rendering)
    -L' screen goes black every 4 seconds
    -System responds very slowly, but sometimes it seems that it works normally
    -mouse disappears
    -After awhile that I get a black screen, system does not answer more.
    -In windows safe mode (so do not using the nvidia drivers), the display seems to work normally

    DID the next trying to solve my problem in vain:

    -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the last on the toshiba site.
    -Deletion of original and installed drivers drivers Guru3D site (also used the Driverutility from the same site).
    -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the original
    -Upgrade to SP3

    Uninstalling the driver (in safe mode) and so to use a generic driver only seem to work.

    Anyone know how this can be resolved or are these signs that the nVidia GeForce Go 7900 has been roasted.

    Hello

    Long story. short answer...

    It is really possible that your GPU chip malfunctions.

    I came to this conclusion because the laptop don t symptoms occur if the graphics driver is not installed.
    If the graphics card driver is installed the graphics card would go with the best performance and possibly graph questions would appear once again.

    I think that you can't do anything to what might solve this problem outside to contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.

    Good luck

  • Broke the screen on Satellite Pro P100 - 1 1/2 "vertical white line

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro P100 which is only 21 months old and have recently acquired a white strip to the bottom of my screen which is located near Center. I looked into the possible solutions for this and followed the instructions carefully to see if it was a software problem which he seems not to be. The only possible solution seems to be to get the screen replaced. I would like to know if there are many of you who have had this same problem because I'm disgusted that I need to get this replaced so early in his life.

    I don't even use my phone as a laptop (IE it transport etc.) it is simply sitting on my desk at home. I just checked my warranty and apparently it was submitted only for 12 months! Just my luck!

    If anyone has any suggestions on how to best to argue my case with Toshiba in get this replaced for free then the answers are welcome.

    See you soon,.
    Corrina

    > Only possible solution seems to be to get the screen replaced

    Either it's a display or the fault of the graphics card!
    You can try to connect the external monitor to test if the same would appear on the second monitor.
    If the question seems not on the external monitor then it s not a graphics card issue but possible display of the laptop problem.
    In this case, the authorized service provider should be able to provide more details and how to fix it.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro P100-327 no visual don't screen the bios startup

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem that I think has been there since I upgraded my Satellite Pro P100-327 XP to vista Business.
    At the start, I have more no Visual on the screen until I see the windows logo. Computer works fine otherwise.

    Now a year and a half later I want to load Windows 7 and I can't see the bios screen. F12, F2 or esc. do not help me even if the computer does not stall but I do not see on the screen. I have the latest version of the bios and the nvidia drivers as far as I know.

    The only thing that I did not understand everything is the 'value added package' I think it's the small "HW" program, I downloaded the latest version and clicked on load HW in the control panel. Windows has asked if I wanted to go forward and I saw nothing else after that.

    thaks a lot if anyone can help

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a problem of monitor settings but I don't know m.
    You are using an external monitor or have you changed the monitoring (from simple to double mode) mode?

    In your case, I could connect an external monitor and see what happens. Have you noticed the same problem on external monitor?

    In the worst case, there is something wrong with the internal display, but this should be verified by a technician of the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro P100-124 starts upward, but nothing on the screen

    Hello world

    I'm a newbie here & laptop but my companion got a satellite Pro P100 (Toshiba Satellite Pro P100-124 PSPA4E-001001EN) & it is my asked for help. Here's the problem:

    Laptop starts to go through the procedure of starting with lights coming and cd player starts to work the rotation of fans, but nothing shows up on the screen

    I said it could be the graphics card but could do with a starting point, I'm PC savvy but on the desktop, it's my first attempt at a portable computer so please be nice...

    Hello

    Have you tried this thing?

    ->, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
    -> waiting for ~ 30 min 1 h
    -> connect the two parts again and try to turn on the device

    If this will not help, then it would mean that a hardware problem serious causes this problem and you will need to contact a Toshiba ASP technician to know exactly what s wrogn.
