Screen flickering on battery - Satellite A100-275

I have faced a problem last week when my laptop is plugged in and worked a while when I remove the power cable and run down the battery. Constantly the screen flickers. If I then plug back in it is well again.

If I reboot with power cable the problem disappears, but I used to know what is the cause of the problem is something to do with the power socket on the laptop where it attaches to the mobo? It is only the idea I had similar problem you are looking for or maybe could be the adapter itself?

Perhaps strange notebook to another mode of power and therefore the odd flicker appeared. Question may be an Fl inverter
But the flicker isn't appearing any more. Am I wrong?

  • Screen does not work, Satellite A100-632

    Dear guy who read this,

    After using my laptop for more information, then at 1 year, my screen today simply stopped working. Windows everything works fine, I can connect to the computer very well, but I don't see anything because the screen is black.

    Vista login screen I get the screen to work by pressing the FN and F5 several times, then it works. But it does not fill the screen, after I enterd my password it windows finally meet my full screen.

    You're probably thinking; how fixed you the problem right?

    Good for evil, no.. Because I have to do this every time I restart the laptop, and I can't get into the bios (so I can't uninstall windows if his bankruptcy, for example) and I want to leave my laptop works properly and I'm the only one in my house who knows how it works, and I'm not the only user...

    Sorry for my bad English, I hope you guys can understand the problem and fix it for me.

    Hello!

    Not sure about your problem. My A100 runs on Windows XP Home edition, so... But I think that, as you can see sth on the screen, it must have sth to do with software, like bios, drivers, OS. Why not try to reinstall Vista, download the latest version of the bios? You say that you are not in the bios, but maybe you don't need? I think that when you insert the Vista CD, it should automatically start the program. If you still don't see it, try borrowing an external monitor and connect it to your laptop. Maybe this would help somehow.

    My guess, some of the many users did sth bad :-). My mother-in-law never ceases to amaze me with his computer problems. Sometimes I don't know even how she was able to have done this to his new PC :-).

    Good luck!

  • Y40 screen flickering on battery

    It's my last chance to solve it before you take it to a service center and pay to have it sorted, sell and never buy a Lenovo product again...

    I have a Y40-70 who is aged 15 months and when I unplugged the power the screen starts flashing about 90% battery.

    I've seen this mentioned several times on the forum and did everything that was suggested. Updated all the drivers, etc. of energy saving modes and nothing does.

    Running Windows 10, back to 8.1 to see if it fixed it but didn't, so I think that it is a material and not a software problem. I also heard that it is a LCD screen and not a battery problem, unfortunately I have to pay a tax of diagnosis at the center of service anyway, really annoyed with all the experience of Lenovo to be honest.

    Hey.

    I bought a new screen, corrected the problem immediately, 100% a hardware problem. New screen looks great, much better than the workpiece.

    The process is really easy, here is one that I bought, moved within 5 minutes.

  • Blue screen error on the Satellite A100 - 920 (PSAA9)

    Hello

    I got a blue screen error during use normal and after reboot, Windows suggested updated the BIOS, so I've updated with the latest version (5.10). The next day, I got another blue screen and reboot, Windows has suggested that I update my display drivers, I did (to Ver. 8.241)... I have an ATI Radeon X 1400 GPUS. After that, the computer crashed every time that it loaded windows, with a popup on services.exe telling me the computer shuts off in 60 seconds.

    I assumed that this was linked to the display driver, so I replaced the drivers with a version earlier than day (8.241 - 034065C). Once I did, it seemed to work and I could use the computer very well for a bit, even play games like GTA, but I'm starting to take again the blue screens, usually just at the opening of the files, etc. and not when you run graphical applications with a lot. The problem disappeared when I turn off my display drivers, but which is not really a solution.
    I disabled the reboot on the parameter of the error and it is information of the blue screen of death:
    STOP: 0X0000008E (0XC0000005, 0XEE6DF5E9, 0XBAD2F99C, 0X00000000)
    System32:huy32.sys - address EE6DF5E9 base at EE6DD000, Datestamp 45abe717

    Anyone have an idea how I can solve this problem, it makes me crazy!
    I downloaded the map Omega drivers, but am slow to install that I heard that they can cause overheating and I think ATI/Toshiba should be able to provide me with a solution without having to use third-party drivers myself.

    Hello

    One question: do you use Antivirus applications and you did update the Windows operating system?
    You said something about services.exe you indicating the computer turns off in 60 seconds.

    For me, this looks like a virus! I also google for system32:huy32.sys some people said it s a malware!
    I m not 100% sure, but maybe you have some virus you OS!

    Now to the question of pilot you: Yes, Toshiba recommend that you use a clean graphics drivers on the Toshiba site. The use of original graphics drivers on the Web site of graphics card manufacturer is not recommended.
    But I read a lot of thread on the omega drivers and many users using the drivers and they have no problems.

  • Problems with the battery / Satellite A100 - 151 (PSAA9)

    Hello!

    My Toshiba laptop 3/4 years, has had problems with the battery. Battery does not charge properly and to start windows, the laptop down even when the battery is at 70%. Normal use without AC is not possible. The first 3 months, the laptop worked well with no battery problems.

    I hope to get help for my problem.

    Greetings

    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian

    Maybe is the problem on the battery itself. Without a lot of discussion, I recommend you contact the Service partner in your country. I hope you will get free new battery due to valid warranty.

  • Satellite A100-999 - screen flickers and goes black

    Hi, I have a problem with my Satellite A100-999.

    The screen flickers and then goes black. The works still laptop as I can connect to external monitors, but the laptop monitor are almost entirely black. It's happened before, but a reboot seemed to solve, however, Noah, as soon as the sign of the intel appears at startup, the screen turns off. It is not completely black - you can see the contours of some things on the screen, but it is almost completely black.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi xiuxiuejar_1,

    HM, if you can still see a picture on the laptop external monitor should be ok and it must be a problem with built-in LCD screen.

    Usually, if the display is it black malfunction in UPS s FL which controls the backlight of the screen, but if the screen flickers, it s the internal LCD display itself

    I guess that your laptop is not under warranty more so I would try exchanging the FL inverter it's a lot cheaper. You can order this FL inverter of an ASP or eBay but is not so easy to replace, because you have to disassemble the laptop monitor.

  • Flickering screen on Satellite A100

    First of all, I would like to say hello to everyone...

    My colleague at work came to me with his laptop, which is a Satellite A100 with a screen flicker problem.
    Its nothing major, but the screen flickers constantly randomly as it s refreshing.
    I tried an external monitor and it is very good, so I guess that the LCD, 'FL inverter Board' or connectors. There is no distortion of colors, no lines/ladies on the screen and no backlight problem.

    I'm not a genius in laptops, but I fixed mine with success.

    I disassembled the computer laptop and just had a glance, made sure no loose connections, dust etc put back together and still had the same problem with the screen flicker.

    Now, I have no idea of what a "FL inverter board" is, or if this could be the problem, so any information would be appreciated.
    It s is not prepared to buy a new LCD screen, only to find out that it is this UPS widget.

    Thanks in advance

    I think that the FL inverter converts high voltage to power the Tube FL. You must be careful with the ups because it can give you an electric shock.

    You say that there is no problem of backlight, so it would not be the inverter at fault.

    If this is the Image that flashes (while the backlight is always on), then there may be a bad connection behind the screen, or a part should be replaced (for example, the LCD, the cable or the graphics card).

  • Satellite P300D - screen flickers and the battery is unstable

    I bought the new Satellite P300d-h-13, I liked a lot, but from the first day I have problems with it.

    1. when on battery, the screen flickers - it will clear less brilliant, just like I'm shaking the laptop (I'm not :))
    2. battery is not stable: when I use the battery indication of remaining time power is going from little or a lot, I mean for example on 90 percent, it says 59 minutes and on 60 it says 1 hour and something when he is on 50 say 30 minutes and when it is at 25 percent It says 25 minutes then to 23 per cent arrives at 17 minutes.
    I guess the problems are linked, but I don't know what to do. Contact service, or do I have to install any software?

    3. a third problem is a small white spot on the screen - it's about a pixel or at most 5 pxls and it is too bright. I guess that's a dead pixel (s) but I am not happy when a new laptop has this problem (s)

    So if anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it a lot.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello Hio

    Do you always use factory settings or you have installed your own operating system?
    Have you noticed the number one and two on the first day?

    What about dead pixel? I know it's not nice, but I wonder you didn't react immediately after the first or second day and try to talk with your dealer and ask for replacement. Please check follow documents on dead pixel:

  • Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

    Hello!

    My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
    First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

    Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
    (The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

    What can be the problem?

    Thanks in advance!

    Maria

    Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

    1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

    2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

    3 > BALANCED > POWER SAVER > HIGH PERFORMANCE

    4 > THE PLAN OF POWER > CLICK ON CHANGE PLAN SETTINGS > WILL DISPLAY A SCREEN SHOWING YOUR PLAN!

    5 > GO TO > * CLICK * WHERE IT SAYS CHANGE ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS

    6 > IF YOU SCROLL THE BAR TO THE * SIGN + > BATTERY-CLICK * THE * SIGN.

    7 > YOU SHOULD HAVE: you will need to have play with these settings, or you can click on restore plan defaults to see if that will solve your problem

    Notes by clicking on the * + plus SIGN next to tany of these options below will allow you to change what event happens on your computer.

  • Satellite A100 - 510 PSAA2E cannot start - nothing on the screen

    Hello

    I had Satellite A100-510 (PSAA2E) since May 2006.
    2 weeks before, when I tried to switch the fans started spinning and the LED lit and after about 2 seconds, it restarts without showing anything on the screen.

    There is also no beeps or anything.

    I tried almost everything: remove the hard drive, screen, wireless card, dvd player, change the RAM between the slots...
    It makes no difference if.

    So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?

    > So I think it's a problem of memory or the motherboard is dead, what do you think?
    Yes, the mentioned parts could cause this problem

    But it would be the worst case and you must contact the Toshiba ASP for more details

    Before that you would get in contact with ASP, I recommend you try this:

    -Remove the battery, disconnect the adapter.
    -Wait 30-60 minutes
    -Bring the two parties together and try to turn on the laptop

  • Satellite A100-906 - black screen with a cursor

    Hi all

    There is a problem with my Satellite A100-906:

    After having lit - Toshiba page appears - that the loading Windows XP page - more than a black screen with a cursor (the touchpad moveable)... and nothing more.

    That's what I tried without success:

    Detach the battery for over an hour
    Start the computer with battery detached
    Change the default BIOS settings
    Start in Safe Mode - the same black screen with 'safe mode' legends in the 4 corners of the screen.

    Please help with this.

    Hello

    According to your message, the screen of the laptop BIOS is visible and also the Windows screen.
    I think that it s not a hardware problem but a software problem.
    Maybe your operating system is confusing until you think about using the Toshiba Recovery disk and to restore the system?
    I mean you already tried the passage without danger and she didn't so in my opinion, the next step should be the new installation of the OS

  • Satellite A100-796 screen suddenly flips & occasionally turns black.

    9 months ago, I bought my laptop (Satellite A100-796).
    Since a week ago, the screen flickers from time to time very fast (for like a second). What's worse, the screen came to turn completely black twice suddenly while he was studying. It seems that the computer was still active, but the screen went black still (on the power but in black only). The only solution was to press the power button for like 10 seconds to stop the computer laptop everything.

    I have installed new software, so I don't really know if it of a hardware problem or not? Everyone recognizes these symptoms, or you can give me any advice? I always had a pick-up-and-return-guarantee, do I have to use this right now or is there a quicker and better solution?

    I really hope that someone can guide me through this, given that the laptop is very precious to me.

    Kind regards

    Liem

    We should read about some facts. The fact is that this issue must be linked to a hardware malfunction.
    Kody said the FL inverter could be faulty, but I think that the internal display could also causes this issue

    There is only one real way of this knowledge. The parts must be checked!

    So contact the ASP in your country and ask for verification of the laptop.

    Best regards

  • Satellite A100 - screen power button stays black!

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite A100 (PSAANA-04E005) than just doesn t power up. The power button lights up, but the screen remains black, and you can hear things from fan.

    I tried to remove the battery and running only one AC, tried the recovery disk and everything I could find on troubleshooting, but it s just not work.
    More disappointing is I JUST realized out of warranty - timing is far from perfect...

    Can someone please help with some info so I can get my system back up and running?
    Not too concerned about what was on the hard drive - just that it works again!

    Any help would be greatly appreciated...

    See you soon,.
    L

    Hello

    I put t know if this will help, but in my case it worked in the past.
    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    -wait for about 30-40 min, also try a longer period
    -then reconnect the two parts to the laptop and try to turn on the machine

    If it helps then you are already lucky, if not well: (.) You will need to contact the ASP guy in your country for assistance

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - screen flickers power on and off

    Has anyone encountered a problem where the screen flickers power on and off? Mine will Dim to the point where you can't see whats happening and then back to normal.

    I tried a restore drivers, but the problem persisted. I did also check complete anti-virus (I realize that it was probably not the cause of the problem, but decided to be complete). I was thinking that it's purely a hardware problem, like when I use an external monitor connected through a HDMI cable I don't have this problem.

    I guess it must be a problem with the connection between the screen and the motherboard. Maybe a problem within the hinge where they cross connection.

    Anyone got any other suggestions until I sent it off for repair (only he got in March and I have a 2 year warranty, but who goes back to college soon and do not want to be without him).

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 k 9.

    Thanks in advance.

    I agree with you, Fraser and think it could be hardware related issue but I don't in any way you can fix it alone. Your laptop must be controlled by the Toshiba service provider.

    Contact the nearest service provider for Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Satellite X 200-252 screen flickers on desktop

    Hello
    I really want to upgrade my laptop to Windows 7, I tried RC front, x 64, and x 86. Now, I bought x 64 ultimate for my desktop so I decided to try it too on Toshiba Satellite X 200-252. Everything works perfectly, except for the video driver.
    PROBLEM: screen flickers on the desktop without reason. This happens even when I do nothing, all the seconds for example just to read a pdf file or watch the nice wallpaper I.
    -with the original preinstalled Vista Home Premium x 86 I try to update display driver is more recent than the 7.15.11.7605
    -with windows XP and drivers downloaded from nVidia
    -with windows 7 all versions, nVidia drivers, tried several
    -with windows 7 drivers of Toshiba U.S. site X 205 model (cost installation, no upgrade of Windowses)
    Glitter for me means one of the following:
    -for a fraction of a second, a part of the screen deforms
    -a few lines unexpectedly appear and disappear on and off screen for no reason
    -l' screen becomes black, in whole or in part and turns on OK once again, while a few milliseconds.

    What I tried to do:
    -the ONLY driver that works correctly under vista is the original and most recent 7.15.11.7605 of Toshiba, dated June 25, 2008. NO driver work correctly under Win 7 or XP.
    -Toshiba links to the nVidia site, where I can download newer drivers - supposedly I can, but screen flickers on all windows.
    -Model drivers Toshiba X 205 for Vista or Win 7 from the Web of Toshiba U.S. site also exhibit this behavior. This product is identical to mine both chipset and gpu.
    -Toshiba Software to install - (does not include video driver anyway, as far as I could tell)

    What I expect:
    -Si Toshiba could identify all they put tweak under their "last good"original driver, it would be good to know about this, although X 205 driver did not work.
    -Also if anyone successfully installed any driver newer than one mentioned display, please leave me a comment with a version or if they had need special tips AND if the display is stable.
    -A method to test the graphics card / memory on my computer to find errors, something in memtest 86 + flavor.

    Concerning
    Krzysztof

    Hello

    The Satellite X 200-252 was equipped with the graphics card or similar, as the Toshiba P200 of Satego European PSPBEE series.
    Try the display driver released for this series too.
    Maybe you could use a driver Vista Win 7 OS.

    The drivers are located on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    Good luck
