  It is not a flash. The laptop is supposed to turn off for a second. It is quite normal with laptop with switchable graphics as they react to the change in power source.

• Why do Satellite A100 screen flashes when turned off?

  Hello

Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  What do you mean with the screen? The LCD internal? Maybe you didn t stop the machine itself.

  I also suggest you update your bios and your drivers, maybe it s just a software related issue...

  Here´s a link to find the bios and latest drivers for your computer:

• T400s display flashes when the power cord disconnected - how to fix?

  Just got my T400s a few days previously and very happy with it!  But one thing that bothers me is when I unplug ac power chords, screen goes white, then back on. The same thing when I plug ac power chord back in.  I posted this question in another forum (NBR) and someone replied that this problem has disappeared after a clean install of the operating system without Thinkpad utils.  So, it has something to do with one of the utils.  BUT I can't find anywhere how to disable this behavior.  Please advice!

  Binaryspiral solution worked for me - thanks.

• Monitor external flicker on Satellite U400-157

  Hi all

  Since last week, I bought laptop Satellite U400-157. When I connect to the external moniter laptop with charger plugged the external monitor is flickering (see a horizontal line). When I unplugged the charger the flicker is disappear.

  I tried the following solution:

  1. connect the laptop to different monitors (BENQ 20 "", ViewSonic 17 "and former VGA monitor)
  2. using the power cable of 3 and 2 connectors for labtop and the monitor.
  3. with the help of thick VGA cable.
  4. with the help of another charger.
  5. Finally, I went to the seller and ask him to try another laptop with the same model and the shock was that he has the same problem.

  So I can consider it as a FAILURE of this model, or there is a solution for this problem?

  Help, please

  Hello

  Hmm I doubt that this problem could be linked to the U400
  I use the U400 too and I ve plugged on the external LCD Samsung monitor via HDMI port and the display does not Flash.

  I also found this thread on the similar problem with Tecra M5
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=146910

  The guy means that this could be also a problem of laptop but after several tastings, he founded the power cable supplied with the external monitor was questionable.

  However, maybe your ASP must check the laptop and the material

• Screen starts flashing on Satellite U400

  (Satellite U400 laptop purchased in June 2009)

  Today the screen started to Flash, I unplugged it and it stopped, and it worked when I plugged it in.
  I checked the refresh rate of the screen and it is to 60 Hertz

  Is there an underlying problem?
  He is currently, I should check anyway get?

  Just a question; Do you mean the external monitor?

  > I unplugged and it stopped, and it worked when I plugged it in.
  Do you mean that you have disconnected from the laptop AC adapter?

  This sounds like the problem known to me
  I read many similar discussions in various forums
  Generally, this is question of ground loop which can cause a blink that you can solve the problem by using an adapter 2-pin

• Power light is on when the Satellite U400/T5800 is off - is this normal?

  We have a Satellite U400 T5800/new, just bought yesterday and have completed the configuration of the software.
  Everything seems to work very well.

  However, I noticed that the orange power LED is turned on (solid, and not not not flashing), even when the laptop is off and there is no connected AC.
  I couldn't find an explanation in the manuals or online. This behavior is normal?

  Normally, I would expect a laptop can be completely powered down - is it normal for the LED light to be even on (continuously when laptop is turned off).

  When the laptop is turned on, the light turns white as expected.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have a Satellite U400 too and if I close my laptop and unplug the AC adaptor all lights are off.
  Are you sure you did stop your laptop and not hibernate or stand-by? Check it!

  You can try to update the BIOS. Check the Toshiba site for an update.

• Can I use Intel Wireless Display - Netgear PTV1000 on Satellite U400-157

  I want to use the NETGEAR PTV 1000 wireless display device. The hammer on the Net says I should be able to use it if I change the operating system to Windows 7. I see that I need http://www.intel.com/support/wireless/wtech/iwd/sb/CS-031059.htm Intel Wireless Display to use.

  The Intel Wireless WifI Link 5100 wireless on the Satellite U400-157 is. Seems that it is not one that is required to run the PTV 1000? So an operating system for Win 7 can not allow me to use the PTV 1000?

  Found a similar thread about the use of the Intel Wireless Display

  Hello

  This means that your mobile doesn t boot with AC/DC adapter and AC/DC adapter too?

  Have you tried to remove the battery and the AC adapter? If you remove the two you should an hour and then reconnect the two. Maybe it will work.

  If this isn't the case, it seems to be a hardware problem. You must contact an authorized service provider, you can give them a call to speak to a technician.

• Satellite S50-B-15N - display flashes on an online game

  I installed the AMD video drivers for my Satellite S50-B-15N, but the display flashes on an online game (java-based).

• Satellite U400 - Multimedia LED stay lit when computer is OFF

  6 LED multimedia keys above the keyboard stay bright even when the computer is off and power is disconnected. I looked at the forum and tried the suggestions without success.
  I disabled the Illumination using F2 at startup, but there is no change, the LEDs remained after that computer was arrested and taken out of SERVICE.

  Also the HWSetup solution does not work because my system does not have a tab of enlightenment.
  Suggestions more please.

  I have a laptop U400-138, with Win Vista. I installed XP prof. and downloaded the drivers on the Toshiba site. I tried to install the display driver, but still give me that this driver cannot be installed on this PC.

  Please can someone help or advise if something is wrong.

  Satellite U400 belongs to the series of PSU44E and that's why you can find all the drivers on the Toshiba site:

  If you can t install the driver with the setup.exe file you should try to install it manually. Go to Device Manager and select the graphics card. Then choose set to update driver and advanced installation routine to choose the driver yourself.

• Satellite U400 won't turn on & when we will not sleep mode

  I have a Satellite U400 and is a year and a few months.

  In the last few it was in place, and it started when the computer goes to sleep and goes to the black white screen, it will not fall.
  The only way to do anything is held in the power up to what it turns off and then back on. This brings me to the warning screen that I turned off my computer incorrectly. It was actions also for a few weeks and randomly started unexpectedly.

  Then just today it does at all, I was pressing the power button and the key itself would be lit up and on the right side of the small lights would light up but don't turn on, I kept pressing it again and again and again and finally it turn on. Once on, I used only for a few minutes before turning off again and then do the same thing, I kept pressing the bottom until it works. Its been on now and has not extinguished again.

  There not in the newspaper I had to reformat my computer because I forget my password and had put me out of the computer. About a week after that is when the problems started. I'm not all that clever computer, to be honest, I do not understand something of things, I can follow step by step to do something.

  I really want to pay to have it fix I just want myself and as soon as its in great shape and never had any problems before.

  Does anyone have any idea what this might be, or why it might be?

  I think about reformatting again because I'm worried that didn't work right the 1st time or something.

  Or if it's something that needs fixing someone have any idea on the cost of it?

  Thanks ^_^

  Hi aev270,
  sounds like a serious problem for me.
  Try the following: take out the battery, cd-rom, hard disk, and then try again.
  If it starts without this items - you lucky!
  This means that it is probably a software problem (but I think not - sorry)
  you see the toshiba logo / messages from the bios? No - the you're in trouble.
  This strange behavior may depend on many things: defektive components such as ram, grafics... nor (badest) motherboard...
  If you have still warranty on this subject, you should go to a having servicepartner check installation.
