Satellite U400-15B screen is not bright, as it used to be

Hello everyone

I've had my U400-15B almost a year now and I noticed that the screen is not as bright as it used to be.
The brightness level is at the maximum, but it seems a bit dull.

Everyone has noticed this or is it just the LCD is not not very good?

Hello

> Brightness level is at the maximum, but it seems just a bit dull.
So you're saying that you have already checked the FN + F7 key secret that increases the brightness of the screen?

Well, maybe there's an FL inverter problem?
The FL inverter is a small part that controls the brightness of the display.
If this part starts bad run then you will see the screen as behind a thick fog.

If it's a deal, then you should get in touch with a local service technician whu could replace this.

PS; If you are running Windows 7, then you should go to Win 7 power management and need to check if the Win 7 didn t adjust the brightness of the display at the lower level in order to save the battery. Windows 7 supports a power saving mode that tries to save power

  • Slow start on Vista Home Premium - Satellite U400-15B

    Hello

    I just bought Satellite U400-15B and am finding it takes very long to start Vista, I went into msconfig and disabled the things I don't use and stuff that I think is not necessary, but it is still having to wait ages before that I can use the laptop. I have enough RAM and processor speed, so I don't think that the specifications of the laptop are a problem

    Is there something that can be done on this slow start, any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think slow start or laptop slow operations depend on good configuration of the OS. I played with this last month and I am now convinced that Vista starts and runs on my laptop.
    I wrote about this in another thread and if you have time look under http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=134947

  • Must be replaced to the right arrow for a Satellite U400-15B

    Anyone know where I can get a replacement key for a Satellite U400-15B right arrow?

    As far as I know you can't buy replacement for a single key.
    What you can try is to put cheap keyboard. I saw today new keyboard for Satellite A300 for only 15 euro.

    The replacement of keyboard is not so complicated and you can do it alone.

  • Satellite U400-15B hangs on the Internet and make multimedia keys touch

    Hi all

    Had two problems with my U400-15B which I hope to solve.

    (1) the first problem is that I noticed that my internet sometimes seems to weigh on Internet Explorer, when using the Web site who have a couple of images e.t.c.
    It freezes but the rest of the laptop works very well - I want to say you can go to the start menu and other programs very well. However, if you open Microsoft Word, while this is the case, it will take a little more time to load than normal upward. Anyone know what this might be or how I can fix this problem?

    I use Vista Home Premium 32-bit and the laptop has 4 GB of RAM / thus, Intel Centrino 2 P7350 - is powerful enough.

    (2) the second problem is that when I press the 'sound' button, the white lights and the white bar above the touchpad become informed. When I press on it again once the lights come back but he is not mute. Only when the laptop is put in standby mode and then woke up once again, the key work properly. All the others work fine. Does anyone know what is the cause?

    I exchanged this laptop 3 times now and each of them did question (2), but surely this isn't normal.

    Any help or advice to address these problems are very much appreciated.

    Thank you

    (1) have you tested a different internet browser? For example, Firefox.
    I use Firefox for years and never had any problems with it. I like Firefox over Internet Explorer, it s faster and you will get a lot of modules useful for her ScrapBook.

    (2) have tried to update the BIOS? Look on the Toshiba site to find a newer version:

    What version of Toshiba value added package have you tried to install?

    For the Satellite U400 normally you only the VAP for buttons of enlightenment. Check again the Web from Toshiba website and download the correct version of VAP:

    On the Toshiba page are 4 different U400 models listed in order to choose the one that suits before you download the VAP.
    And don t forget to delete the old version first, restart the computer and then install a new.

    What OS do you have? You use the factory settings?

    Hello!!

    Can someone help me please on a screen problem? I have a Toshiba Satellite A60-122 and when I turn it on the screen does not work. It remains black as if the power of the laptop was turned off. I tried to connect the laptop to an external monitor, but it still does not work. I have no more ideas of what can do to make it work.

    I already told to format the pc with the cd of restoration but without an image, it is impossible to do anything...
    Thank you

    Isabel

    Hello Isabel

    I'm not an expert, but if there is no image on LCD internal display and the external monitor, I assume that there is a problem with the graphics card. I think you should contact the customer Service of your country partner and let check the device.

    I also hope that the warranty is still valid and if something needs to be replaced they will do it for free.

    Bye and let us know if you have more information about it.

  • The screen on a monitor HP L1925 is not bright when I use a NVIDIA driver

    Windows XP; Monitor HP L1925; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT and driver card.

    When you're under the GeForce 9400 driver, HP L1925 screen is not as bright as could be. However, when I start mode safe mode, the screen is bright white. The monitor HP L1925 therefore has a problem with the NVIDIA GeForce 9400 driver. The driver is updated.

  • Satellite C850-1LK - screen does not work

    I got the c850-1lk for about 6 months and it is running Windows 8.1. I started it this afternoon and to navigate on the internet for half an hour when the screen turns off (power and wifi lights still on and could hear the fan running). I turned it and then turn on again, but the screen does not light even if I assume that the laptop itself starts well.

    The laptop was not struck and no physical damage has ever been done for her. The only previous problems were related to windows and the update 8.1 where he managed to remove the bootloader, but I managed to fix it with a bootable Linux disc then a complete reset of the system. Linux isn't there anymore.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It's really not easy to say what the problem is here. Remove the battery and press the power for 30 seconds. Connect the power supply only and start it again.

  • Satellite A100-225 screen does not load

    I have a toshiba A100-225 and whenever I start the laptop the screen will not load or show anything. Does anyone know what the problem with him?

    Hi Michael,

    The screen itself may be defective or the FL inverter has failed. Try to connect an external monitor to your laptop and see if you can get a good view. If the external monitor does not work then it is probably a problem with your graphics chip.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite M30X-111 screen does not display anything but the external monitor works

    My laptop just screen does not display anything (like when the computer is turned off), but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop is displayed on this screen. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.

    Again, I must plug the external monitor, and after I tried to restart, I continue to pressing F8 but the startup mode is not come, the noise of when you press a button for too long beeps, however, the monitor of the laptop working again.

    How can I solve this problem?

    What do you do? You want to recover the laptop?
    If Yes, you n press any F8 but you will need to boot from the recovery CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

    But this question seems that you have accidentally switched to external display.
    I recommend checking the Fn + F5 option. This combination allow you to switch between the display and the external monitor.

  • Satellite L650-11R: I can not disable the WiFi using Fn + F8 module

    Hello!

    I have a rather strange problem: I can not disable the WiFi using Fn + F8 module.

    It happens after reinstalling Windows. I installed Windows 7 Pro SP1 x 64 (MSDNAA). I installed the driver Broadcom WLAN, then Toshiba Value added package and Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba Web site.

    When I press Fn + F8 there is only a Bluetooth icon, I can enable and disable. And there is no WiFi icon.
    Wireless network card is listed in the Device Manager, it works.

    Before you reinstall Windows, when I had used pre-installed Windows 7 HP, it worked correctly: there were three icons, I could turn off/turn on WiFi, BT and the two WiFi + BT by pressing Fn + F8.

    Does anyone have a problem like this?
    Can someone help me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hmm generally the FN + F8 should switch on / off the Wlan correctly.
    Maybe the WLan driver must be installed again even if the wireless network adapter is already visible in Device Manager.
    Try it

  • Satellite A300D-15B webcam does not - black screen

    Hi, I would appreciate the help. I have a new L300D-15 ter and we have problems with the webcam. It's less than a week. We use MSN a lot and noticed that sometimes the webcam has become black while on a video call - when I say black you could see us like shadows of contour. Once we waved our hands on the webcam and it seemed to come back to life, but othertimes we had to stop the video call and re - call to retrieve the image of the webcam.

    We phoned to Toshiba and reinstalled the driver but it seems to have done worse. When we opened the independent software for the cam us are visible for a second and then black. We tried on MSN it happened once but we could clearly be seen after a few seconds, and he remained on for the duration of our short call. This has happened on and off on the power supply.

    Some ideas would be appreciated.
