Satellite S1800-814: startup problem, screen is black

I know there are several comments here to point out how the black screen at startup. I think my problem is similar, but I need a few more details.

A year ago, a friend of mine gave me his old laptop, a Satellite 1800-814. I use it mainly as a typewriter and check my email. He could never operate on battery only, longer than for a few seconds, but I've always used it with the connected power cable, no problems. Sometimes it wouldn't start, and I had to unplug the power supply for a while to turn on.

I was visiting someone and wanted to connect to the Internet. They had this USB wireless modem, that I have it plugged into my Toshiba. During installation, the PC froze, and I had to reboot by pressing the button market for some time. He did restart, but at a standstill. I restarted again, sometimes had it works, sometimes not, and ultimately he entered its current state: with the power cord plugged in, it will start, I'll hear the processor fan (or whatever it is) work and the lights of the battery and the power will be green at the bottom of the keyboard.

The screen, however, is black, there not all sounds and ceilings and the insert key lights do not react to what whether - they are permanently gone.

What is happening here? I tried to remove the battery, give it some time and then reinsert, but in vain. I also tried to start it upward with the USB connected modem, no luck there either. What I do have an appointment with the Doc of PC, or can I fix it?

I have really important documents there. Grateful for any help!

Your description is quite long, but I'm still confused. You mixed several questions in the description of the problem and there is no stated clear what happens when you press the button walk / stop.

Power is ON?
Is there a HARD disk activity?
You see something on the screen?
What happens if you use the power supply only (without the battery inside)?

Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what can be the problem. The best thing you can do is to contact someone with enough experience PC. The person who has the laptop on the desk and try to start this laptop can be more specific about possible problems.

BTW: Please check this http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSD57013H000JR01.htm interesting document

    Perhaps there is only one small problem with the power button, but due the beeps it can also be a major hardware failure. In any case, you should take the machine at the service.

  • After you enable SLI on the Satellite x 200 mode the screen goes black

    Hi all

    my name is Alessio and I encounter the following problem with my Satellite x 200-24e with Vista home 32-bit:

    Recently, I updated the operating system and yesterday I updated the VGA driver with the latest version available on the web site of Toshiba (display-20080904102618), everything worked fine but when I activated mode SLI the screen went black.

    I restarted the laptop and I tried to boot Vista on a regular basis, but I still got black screen.
    Then I started Vista in safe mode and reload the VGA drivers to set the SLI mode since the safe mode did not identify the model VGA.
    Can anyone help me solve this problem and get the SLI mode working again (I was able to set the SLI mode before update the VGA driver)?

    Thank you

    This wonderful s information.
    It of strange that the screen was dark after the SLI has been activated but it looks like it's working now.

    Thanks for your comments

  • Satellite P100-473 - suddenly the screen turns black

    Hello

    Since a few days, I have a problem with my Satellite P100-473 (with Vista Home installed recently + teamspeak only) after you have installed the latest version of Nero (maybe a detail)
    and do not know how, all of a sudden the screen went black.
    I so reboot and still black but the laptop properly started, the screen is activated (light up/down).
    I'm trying not to switch the display on an external monitor (VGA and DVI) no signal.
    I remove the battery for a few minutes.

    After a lot of irritation I gave it a week, I am again yesterday and after two tests display return with an error (such as a debug message), I forgot to note due to the excitement... ten minutes later same problem again:'(.)
    Yesterday before restarting the screen, I wait to start completely > type my password > sound > wait a minute > and type ESC / enter key at random.

    Can you please help me to find the source of this problem and maybe the solution to solve?

    Thank you very much for your future assistance, I hope you understand my pathetic English
    Best regards

    Hello

    Wait. You said you use external LCD and an external LCD related to this laptop.
    Do you use an external monitor Samsung, and maybe have you installed MagicTune software on your laptop?
    Please check this box.

    As far as I know software Samsung MagicTune can permanently disable the integrated computer Toshiba LCD display screen. Why?
    Because the MagicTune software is designed for use with desktop computers that do not have a built-in LCD screen.
    If your integrated LCD display has been disabled by the MagicTune software, you will need to make an arrangement for repair with a Toshiba authorized Service partner.

    But I hope that you have not installed this software.

  • On the Satellite A210-14 t LCD screen turns black randomly

    For several days, I have the problem, my lcd screen turns black all of a sudden, the 'photo' is just disappearing. but the backlight is still and the system is still running (which happens most of the time in battery mode)
    When I close the laptop, pc goes into stand-by mode and so I open the pc again and the screen works again
    But this isn't really a solution.
    What can I do? Fresh grafix drivers are installed.

    BTW:
    I use WinXP

    HM, how long do you want the machine. Maybe you should check the powersaver for battery operation parameters when the display is sharp because it can be a characteristic powersaver the screen turns off.

    If please check your powersaver settings and set the time when the screen turns off at maximum or turn it off, then check if the error appears again.

    Would appreciate the your part feedaback. :)

  • Satellite L350-262 - Startup Repair screen displays

    Can anyone help?

    I had a L350-262 only 2 days. Already, I've had the Startup Repair screen appears showing there is a problem and Windows will not work. When the system try to automatically repair it says that Windows cannot automatically repair.

    I have watched the tests diagnostic and repair details and the cause of found root shows that Startup Repair tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem. Last night, I'm sure it says registry is corrupt, but I don't see something like that today? When I go to the advanced options for system recovery and support, I select UK as my keyboard entry method. He said then I must connect to access the system recovery options, and if I have problems logging in to contact the administrator of the computer. I can't seem to login screen if this proves difficult.

    If anyone has had similar problems and if so how did you get the problem solved?

    Hello

    Your ad is somehow a bit confusing and not detailed. You want to say that this startup screen suddenly appears and you didn't change anything on the hardware or software?

    What happens if you try to start in safe mode? Is this possible?

    To be honest right now I think that it s time to reinstall Windows if Windows peut t solve the problem itself.

  • Satellite C660 26 x - problem screen (gamma)

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Toshiba C660 26 X display. Since the first time I used it, the gamma seems to be high.

    This isn't a matter of brightness or contrast. The screen is just "too bright" and I lose a lot of contrast in bright colors.

    I tried to use the tool "calibrate the colors" of Windows 7, but even if I chose to lowest level of gamma, the screen stay too bright.

    The only way I found to solve this problem is to manually adjust the gamma in the nVidia control panel. BUT: I have to do this each time I restart the computer. (It seems that Windows wants to manage display settings, even if I set up the nVidia control panel to be the only tool who manage the gamma settings).

    So here are my questions:

    * How to solve this problem?

    * Is it possible to configure the display of directly at the level of the material (not through any kinds of software) to solve this problem? I mean just like you can adjust a laptop-screen by pressing the buttons.

    * Does anyone know how to force Windows to let the good nVidia control panel control display settings?

    Furthermore, I can't find your useful support. I had to search a lot to find out how to contact someone in your support. Now I have to write in a language other than my native language on an international forum, and I hope that someone will be able to help.

    Will I receive an email notification when an answer will be displayed? If not, please also send your answer to: [email protected]

    Hello Jay

    Satellite A200 is old model of laptop, and I can imagine that the fan cooling and air conditioning grill are full of dust.
    Before changing anything your laptop must be completely disassembled and cleaned. I did this several times in the past and I must say that my books were much quieter than before. After the cooling system will work properly and laptop will be able to take a breath.

    I put t know if you know someone who can help you with this. Please don't spend your money for new parts. At a first professional portable make cleaning.

    Please send comments.

    Hey everybody.

    The most obvious thing would be the settings, but after having adjusted the he used to always last more than 2 minutes (timed to check).

  • Satellite L505 - 14 d: my screen is black, but the computer is still running

    I bought this computer in September and it worked fine except this time I had to reload the whole system because of two anti-virus programs, but I think that this has nothing to do with my problem. I've been on the PC, the other day, and all of a sudden it turned black. I wasn't doing anything unusual. When I looked at him the screen was all black, but the computer was working as he has always done. I also saw that the market and stop switch on the digital/lock pad would not react. (a green light appears when the caps lock/num pad is activated). What should I do to get this computer running again WITHOUT permanent black screen?

    Hello

    What happens if you press the power button / stop 4 sec long?
    You see the Red Toshiba home screen?
    Have you tried the external monitor or FN + F5 option?

    I think you should also try the common workaround;
    Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter. Wait a few hours and reconnect the two parts. Then try to turn on the unit.

    Hello
    I have a Satellite 2430-101, which has had similar problems.

    Seems to me that your computer laptop sometimes Don t recognize your HARD drive.

    My suggestion is, if you have another HARD disk, change it to look if the problem persists.

    If so, I think that your IDE controller that is responsible for the detection of your HARD drive is damaged.

    I have 2 Toshiba Recovery CD which I managed to launch the program of recovery based on the BACK which has 2 options:

    2. selective restore, I don't want to do, but have no instructions

    Thank you

    Hello

    In this case, I'm always ruthless. Back up the data and do fresh install. Then only I am 100% sure that everything works correctly. :)

    Anyway, if you want to make new installation with restore CD there are two possibilities:

    -Standard mode (any partition is deleted and new operating system installed)
    -Expert mode (you can choose which partition you want to install the operating system)

    It is very important that there is no repair option. This option you can find on the CD-ROM of Microsoft Windows XP.
    There are few opportunities to try to repair your operating system. You can try to replace the faulty system file. Copy the files from another PC system and replace it. I must also tell you that there is no 100% guarantee that it will be successful.
    You can also try to provide the Microsoft Windows XP CD-ROM (full version). You may have some success with the repair option.
    Next option is to use the Windows Recovery Console. I assume that you have access to a second computer. Click here for instructions that can help you.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;314058
    This article describes the features and limitations of the Windows Recovery Console. If your Microsoft Windows XP-based computer does not start correctly or if it does not start, you can use the Windows Recovery Console to help you recover your system software.

    If you want to do a fresh install of your choice, you can try it on the way to the 'old', with a Startdisc of Windows 98 and an operating system of Windows of your choice.
