Satellite Pro P100 - screen is blank

Computer seems to be on, but the laptop screen remains empty.

OK so for the moment, the power light is on and HD and the rear fan is not on and when I press the power button, the HD and the rear fan turns on and then the power light just flashes but nothing is on the screen and the lights (capslock/numlock etc.) keyboard flash not as they would on a start upward. Which leads to presume that the laptop is in hibernation or something, but it should come out of hibernation (if that were the case) on a press on the power button, but nothing happens when I do that.

also connected an external monitor to the back of the laptop, nothing on the screen as well.

any ideas?

Hello

HM, it could be a problem of motherboard or something else. I doubt that it s an inside problem appears because tested an external display and here you can see the same problem.

What you can do is the following workaround: remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour. Reconnect the adapter AC/DC and battery. Now, you can try to restart the laptop.

If it doesn t work I would ask for a portable computer technician of an authorized service provider. Maybe it s a hardware malfunction and the ASP can test your laptop.

Good bye

  • 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 S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

    A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

    The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

    I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

    Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

    Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.

  • Satellite Pro M70 - screen is blank

    Hey guys,.

    Have had my Satellite Pro M70 for more than a year now and never gave me any problems before. On about 3 times now, the screen disappeared all of a sudden completely gray and white and stays that way, unless I restart and is so very well.

    Appears to be spontaneous, can't everyday and not even aware if his reason leaving for a long time.

    Ive noticed that more than half of the screen flashes from time to time but don't know if it's because it's on during a long period or heat related but only started to do this recently.

    It just seems to be a problem with the monitor, like running programs under were unaffected (IE if I was running MSN messenger and the screen went gray, I could still type messages, etc just not see them!).

    Have the latest graphics driver for my Intel knowledge: 6.14.10.4363, don't know if it could be a problem with the card? Hepatitis a lot of free hard disk space, seeking to increase the ram (currently 512) suggestions?

    Hello

    I am very happy that I don't have these problems on my Satellite M70. I recommend you test your laptop connected to an external display to see if the symptoms are the same. If so, I fear that there is a problem with the graphics card.

    On the RAM, can I just say that your laptop can handle with max 2 GB RAM and compatible RAM modules are:
    512 MB (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB (PA3411U-1M1G)

  • Satellite Pro A100 screen goes blank for two seconds

    Since I got my machine in June, it has obscured the screen for a few seconds every now and then - probably once or twice a day.

    Is this serious and likely to get worse - should I send it until the warranty runs out?

    It might have something to do with Flashcards. I don't know what it is, but whenever I start, he refuses to quit smoking.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    Hello

    > Is it serious and likely to get worse - should I send it until the warranty runs out
    I think that it s not easy to say if it could be a serious hardware problem or just a driver issue.

    I have a few questions;
    First of all; have you checked whether a BIOS update or update the graphics driver was help? For the most part, these updates do wonders ;)

    How about new installation OS since the recovery CD? Have you checked if the same problem appears on the new OS installed since the recovery CD?

    I think that this should be checked first.

  • 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.

  • 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

    Brian

    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

    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...

    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.

  • Satellite PRO P100 - 383 DVD UJ - 850 s Firmware update

    Hello

    My laptop is a Satellite PRO P100-383 with a DVD burner MAT * a UJ-850 s.

    The current firmware of my DVD writer UJ-850 s MAST * one is 1.10 and I can't write some DVD-R, because they are not recognized as DVD-R, but as a CD - R. I think it's just the firmware of DVD writer that is too old.
    Is it possible to update this with new firmware please? because I found something in the download section for my laptop. Just drivers and BIOS of motherboard, but nothing on the MAT * an update of firmware UJ-850 s.

    Thank you very much for your answer.

    Friendly.

    Philip.

    Hi Philippe

    In my opinion you shouldn't change something but use high quality blank DVD - R TDK or Verbatim.
    Maybe you use some blank media cheap and without name.

    Have you tested with known brands?

  • Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) crashed and Linux does not load

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) which have worked well since 2007 both with preinstalled Windows and Ubuntu last.

    But... Yesterday, Firefox crashes, I thought, but after the restart it was not able to load Ubuntu desktop, comes from a command prompt.

    I tried to reinstall the driver and xserver with no luck.
    Tried to reinstall Ubuntu together, but it stops while loading of Ubuntu live.

    Thought maybe, a hard drive crash so I want to wipe the entire hard drive and so reinstalled Windows, which wouldn't load after installation. Changed the hard drive to a WD250GB, but always the same - stop loading live Ubuntu and Debian and Meego...

    Has a verified memory from the live USB of Ubuntu (before loading Ubuntu), no errors.
    I have an idea that maybe the graphics, but it has no errors or defects to display install screens - graphics.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Oh, I had Ubuntu while loading, try checking the hard drive and what makes some mistakes, why I thought it might be a hard drive problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What about another system? Windows?
    Can you start and install Windows system using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say what has caused this problem
    It may be related to no hardware, a part even if the HARD drive or memory error was not detected, one of these parties may malfunction
    Worst case its something wrong with the motherboard but it s only a hypothesis.

  • I can't write CD on Satellite Pro P100-347

    I was recently bought a Satellite Pro P100-347 with Windows XP MCE installed as a desktop computer (the store didn't inform the person who has bought a laptop that was not networked). We have purchased a full copy of Windows XP Pro and booted from the disk, formatted the hard drive and installed XP Pro instead of the ERM and then downloaded and installed all the drivers on the Toshiba site.

    I had the "failure to obtain read handle" error starting but followed the recommendations on this site and removed the toshibarc.exe of the registry. Now, the only thing I still need is to get the CD of drivers, because even though I can play CDs and copy on their part, I can't write CD - if I put a blank CD in the drive and select the option to create the writable CD folder, I get an error that says ' D: / is not accessible. Incorrect function. "

    I downloaded and installed the DVD-RAM drivers, but I can't find those specifically for the CD. Can anyone help?

    Thanks in advance,

    Jeremy Jones

    Hello

    In my opinion, you should check the properties of the disk and click the recording tab.
    CD recording option on this drive must be marked.

    I had a similar problem and this hidden option was responsible for registration on my laptop problems
