Satellite U500 - display has no brightness

Hi, I'm Ian
My laptop: Satellite U500
Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium

Question: My screen is very dark and the screen is visible, as if the brightness setting has been set to a minimum. I adjusted the many times of adjusting brightness and the brightness of the screen does not change when plugged in with or without batteries and the batteries only.

Question: Anyone know what the problem is and how it can it be fixed?

Thank you! :)

Hey Buddy,

Have you checked the image on an external monitor?
It works correctly?

In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it works
In addition, you can change the display drightness using the FN + F6 and F7 key combination.

Normally, if the screen is very very he dim s inverter malfunction a FL and must be replaced from an authorized service provider.

    How can I fix back to normal? brijoy1i

    Hi brijoy1,

    I agree with Akuma.

    I think that the easiest is when you check the properties of the display driver. In all drivers, you can change the orientation of the screen, so it should be no problem to get rid of it. ;)

  • Satellite U500 - 18L - can not update display driver

    I have a Satellite U500 - 18L running Windows 7 HP 64 - bit, which has a NVIDIA GeForce G210M GPU inside.
    The problem is that I can't install the latest 64-bit drivers for Win 7 for laptops from NVIDIA.
    I get an error message saying that no driver was found for your hardware configuration.

    Any suggestion would be appreciated.
    Olivier.

    It is well known that the drivers for laptops must be installed manufacturers support page only. Graphics manufacturer doesn't want to be responsible for possible damage and display drivers are modified by the manufacturers of cell phones.

    It has a few tips how to install them anyway, but I think this isn't the best idea.

    Hi Faze0924,

    > I downloaded the driver
    Where did you download the drivers?
    Page ATI drivers directly will not work if you use the drivers provided on the official website of Toshiba.

    And in general why you do a update display driver? Is this necessary?

    Hey Tama

    I'm afraid there is a problem of serious material with your laptop from m.
    I like the graphics card problem.
    Usually if the internal screen would be defective, you should see all the external display. This is why I think you GPU is affected.

  • Satellite U500 freeze after installing the Nvidia display driver

    I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my machine and tried to install the drivers from the Toshiba site. However, after the installation of the driver and restarted, the l' ordinateur computer seems to be ok for a few seconds and then the screen just hangs and I have to start cold in SafeMode so that it works.

    I tried to disable the Nvidia Driver Helper Service, but it does not at all help. The machine can only be started in safe mode. The laptop was originally with Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit and it worked well.

    Someone knows this, and what was your solution? Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    Have you installed other drivers on the Toshiba site, too? Such a question would normally be typical of 3rd third party drivers use
    Have you installed the drivers from the chipset first?

    Maybe you need to restore the factory settings. With these settings, everything is pretested and configured for more stable parameters.

  • Satellite A660-18 - screen too bright if the update to the BIOS?

    Hi guys, I need your help with this laptop because it gives me a lot of problems.

    I changed the screen of this Satellite A660-18 because one had been installed has been damaged. I installed and works fine but I have problems with the brightness. When I click - on brightness, it goes back and when I click on + it breaks down. It is much too bright and want to do something about it.

    Bios help to solve this problem and how Flash the BIOS on these laptops? I flashed the BIOS on desktop pc but on that I don't see any way to do it. Is it possible to fix the screen without changing the BIOS? Some have said that I have to Flash the BIOS as new screens do not work 100% with old BIOS.

    Help, please

    Thank you

    Hi sky blue,

    You have an original spare part of Toshiba (display) or is it a 3rd party screen? It is important to use the Toshiba spare parts only because they are tested and designed for your Toshiba laptop. If you use 3rd party parts, they may not work.

    The version of the BIOS has nothing to with the brightness of the display and the brightness of the display can be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination, but not in the BIOS.

  • Satellite U500-10z - dead pixel

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-10z comet.com, and while booting it I saw the brilliant green pixel.
    I had the front stuck pixels, but they were weak, so I lived with them - but it is very bright and causes problems when you look at the movies/i-player.

    I tried the unsticking of pixel programs, massaging him, tapping, pressing, everything - but nothing works.
    I can do, and although I believe need toshiba 8 stuck pixels for a return, the comet will be kinder.

    As well as the stuck pixel, there's a white bright light (think it is backlight problem) or an other pixel stuck.

    Any help/advice is welcome-thanks

    Hello

    I doubt that the ASP will replace the display under warranty.
    I found this FAQ from Toshiba:

    Information about the tolerance of failure of the technology and pixel of the screen for LCD screens
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9502LZ0000R01.htm

    The sum of dead pixel depends on the resolution of the screen.
    So you will need 8 dead for a replacement using a resolution of 1400 x 1050 pixels.

    But maybe the laptop dealer could replace Notepad ask the guy in the shop!

  • Satellite U500 - black edges on external monitor

    Hello

    I have problems with the HDMI to the TV connection.
    FULL HD resolution is 42 "FULL HD TV about 4 cm of black borders all around the display.
    I tried with 3 different HDMI cables, 2 different FULL HD TV and a LCD display, but were all of the black edges. Black borders will appear when you start computer (to the first screen Toshiba and BIOS too).
    With the same cables and monitors but other laptop's picture with no edges.

    When I tried with one HDMI (stl. U500) who have had on the another DVI output (screen LCD FULL HD) side has been the picture without black edges. With normal VGA - VGA cable is FULL HD photo also without edges.
    Where could be a problem?
    The system is Windows 7 64 bit with the latest ATI display driver and the latest version of the BIOS (2.20).

    Greetings

    Hi Michael,

    I m not a Satellite U500 owner but I guess there must be something wrong with the settings. I've never had a problem with the HDMI connection on my external monitor or TV. It s still works fine.

    In any case, what screen resolution you are using the external monitor? You must use the native screen resolution on external monitor. Then, you should be able to use the full screen here.

  • Equium A100-338 display has stopped working

    Hello

    I have exactly the same problem on my Equium A100-338 loaded with Vista.
    The display has stopped working (he went to a poorly lit black screen) after I had rebooted my machine even if the computer and the hard drive seems to work Ok with the lights on. I tried the usual elimination of power and the battery and restart it tricks, but after initial success it has stopped working after a few weeks.

    Once I had the computer operation that I only closed it down in the mode 'sleep', and he continued to work for a month until that he should be released after a windows update. I then plugged an external display and use of the Fn + F5 key got the external display running.
    Low and behold, the screen of the laptop started working again as if it had been "energised".

    I took what the laptop screen was OK and that he would not need replacement.
    The laptop worked OK until it needed to restart another when the unrest started again. The screens are gray on the monitor and the laptop now.

    These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    Now, I bought another laptop Toshiba Satellite to connect to the forums trying to find out if my original computer can be repaired
    These problems seem to be quite common on Toshiba computers.

    Any help members would be welcome.

    > These problems seem to point to a flaw in the display driver or VGA card, have you received updates or suggestions?
    For the most part a graphics card driver must be reinstalled or updated to a newer version it can also be a problem of OS which means that the new facility could help
    But try to update the display driver

  • Need new keyboard for Satellite U500-1F4

    Hello
    I was visiting my friend in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, it has a Toshiba Satellite U500 - 1F4 Laptop, the subtemplate is PSU9ME-OOCOOXAR

    She bought while working in Dubai, Saudi

    She spilled coffee on the keyboard, and of course, it now does not work correctly.
    I thought that it would be possible to remove and just wash it in hot water, perhaps to dissolve the coffee, but it does not work. There are six or seven key doesn't work is not on the keyboard.
    The rest of the laptop is great, no problem.

    I am now back in the United Kingdom, and I will try to find a keyboard for it. There is a lot on eBay and other places, but whenever I do a search for its model I get nothing.

    The numbers on the back of the keyboard are:-

    MP - 08H56A06528

    09K37200523M

    OKNO - VGIAR0209493000523

    I found various models U500 and U505 keyboards, so one of them would be?

    Thank you

    On eBay you can find so many keyboards. Just find one for U500 and it will fit for sure.
