Screen keeps going blank on Satellite Pro 4270

I recently inherited a 4270 and keeps going blank screen, everything works in the background and the image comes back if I close and open the lid.

However, the screen may go blank after a minute or seconds.
Can someone advise?

It seems that you have a problem with your FL inverter (this is the part between the LCD and LCD-Tube cable).
You have two options: you can do it yourself and try a small workaround I did on a similar machine or you can give the phone to an authorized servicepartner or a technician who knows enough about toshiba´s so he can solve the problem.

Let me know if you want to try the workaround, but in this case, you need to open your machine TFT-cover.

  • Re: Screen keeps going blank even if Equim M70 is still running

    My screen keeps going blank even if the computer is still running.
    Last night, I managed to make it work again for 20 minutes while it was not plugged in, but as soon as it was plugged it erased.

    Today, even when he was not plugged in after 20 minutes the screen starts to Flash and then deleted again.

    Any help?

    > Today, even when he was not plugged in after 20 minutes the screen starts to Flash and then deleted again

    Hmmm... to me it looks really good mine a bit a hardware problem if the screen starts flashing, then erased.
    Maybe there's something wrong with the screen itself or with the other party as FL inverter.
    FL inverter is responsible for part of the screen backlight control.

    In my opinion, these two parts must be checked!
    But I doubt you can do that without additional aid by the ASP technician and so I recommend to ask a technician for assistance.

  • Screen keeps going black on Satellite C series

    This is my second toshiba, first of all it has been with me for years.
    I have a new a satellite now c series but every now and again the screen goes all black.
    I found the only way to recover from this is to turn off and wait 60 seconds before returning.

    I can't find anything in common between the situations when this happens.
    I googled the problem and there seems to be a problem connecting to the screen on some models.
    Is it my problem or is it something else?

    Could you provide some essential information first?
    It would be useful to know what model of laptop and what system you have exactly.

    Have you checked the laptop for external monitor?
    If this isn't it. It would be interesting to know if something would be visible on 2nd screen while the internal screen is black.

  • Satellite Pro 4270 LCD is slow.

    I Satellite Pro 4280 14 "and have no problem. I bought a second hand Satellite Pro 4270 13 "but the graphics on the screen appear to be slow. Tests using Direct X cube rotation is unclear. I've set up two screens mod with a CRT 17 '' monitor and two screens side by side, the CRT is icon perfect, but the 13 "laptop screen is too blurry. So I know that there is nothing wrong with the graphics card, just the screen. Is this normal for this model? or y at - it something wrong?

  • The program monitor keeps going black in first Pro CC

    PC - first Pro CC - AMD Fire Pro (13.101 - 130604 a - 158071E - ATI)

    I'm working on a project and the program monitor keeps going black in first Pro CC while I'm working on the script. I got like 28 GB of memory granted to the program and update the latest version of the driver for my graphics card. No idea why this continues to happen, but the only way I can get around it is to reboot. When I go to close the program hangs and I have to stop it in system preferences.

    Under a crazy period if you can help? Thank you

    Hi Jonathan,.

    We have not seen a response from you because you have created this thread. Please let us know if you have solved the problem completely. For others on this thread, a few things were useful to solve the problem of 'black screen '.

    1. If your computer is underpowered and outdated (especially your CPU and GPU), he will expose the problem of 'black screen '. Consider upgrading your components or by switching to a newer computer.
    2. If your computer is newer and has components that are well within spec (core i7, 2 + GB VRAM for your GPU, etc) and you get the problem of 'black screen', it is likely to do with your GPU drivers or you have two GPUS and the Control Panel has the GPU badly activated for high quality graphics features. Control Panel for your GPU is probably pointing to the GPU to lower power of two.
      • Note that even if you have a considerably amplified GPU, it may be an old one that does not support drivers for a new version of OS X or Windows
    3. The GPU is problematic, in general. Choose file > project settings > general and set the converter to Mercury Playback Engine Software only
    4. Avoid the update to OS X 10.11

    Other workaround solutions include:

    1. Open the reference monitor: window > reference monitor
    2. Turn off the track (eyeball) power off, then on again. (Note: this may take a few tries)
    3. If you have already updated to OS X 10.11, OS X update to the current version
    4. Restore previous versions of video drivers video drivers
    5. Rolling back to a previous operating system
    6. Restoration of an earlier version of Premiere Pro

    I will mark this message as the correct answer and will add that other solutions users can have about it. Send me a PM if you think that your solution should be listed.

    Hello

    Also, I wasn't able to find the drivers for Win XP for this device.
    However, if you want to install Windows XP you can do, but as said above some functions may not work.

    The last possibility is to check the other laptop computer series and try to install drivers other laptops that support the same features.
    Maybe you about success.

  • Satellite Pro 4270 and network problems

    I just got a laptop, Toshiba Satellite Pro 4270... I installed win 98 on it and it works beautifully.

    But then I added LAN PCMCIA card in computer and wanted to do some sufring. I encountered a problem.

    In the next devices, win98 reports error handler:
    The NDIS. VXD, NTKERN. VXD or Chargers device for this device could not load the device driver. (Code 2).

    The card is 3Com Fe575C and I downloaded the latest drivers from www.3Com.com/warranty, but that did not help. I also ran regclean and reinstalled the card after that. Always the same fault. With my own laptop (win2k pro), the card works perfectly with no additional drivers, so the map itself is not defective.

    In addition, the Win98 find PCI card when starting, but I have no driver for that... Where can I get that? It does not specify which card that is...

    Hello

    I guess it is Win 98 Second Edition You are using on the 4270.
    Please go to driver download site and download the INF-update to the PC Card controller. I think this should solve your problem.

    While you are at it download the other drivers you need more.

  • Lack of Win98SE PCI/Sound driver for Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello

    I have an old Satellite Pro 4270 with Win98SE license.
    I have no driver CD and only a Win98SE installation CD. So I installed Win98SE.
    From Toshiba Web site show me a lot of drivers for Win98SE which I installed.

    But I have not found a driver for the PCI card that has a yellow "?" in the Device Manager. I do not mean the PCMCIA slots.

    I installed the driver of his Yamaha DS - XG, but I can not here any sound.

    So where can I find the PCI driver and sound driver better.

    Great! :)

  • Satellite Pro 4270 - USB does not work

    Hello.

    I had this problem for a while, and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to solve this problem.

    I have more or less of work Satellite Pro 4270 (4200 Series) computer laptop with XP on it.

    The USB port does not work. I don't know why it does not work. I tried to replace the USB module on the motherboard that has not worked. I've updated the BIOS to the latest version, has not functioned. Removed and reinstalled the drivers in XP, not worked. I'm out of ideas.

    IrDA works very well.

    Some suggestions please. Thank you

    Hello!

    I understand, were you solder the module USB motherboard and then solder another module?

    I mean, what have you done with the module USB, replacing? Sorry, I don't remember exactly how the USB module is connected to my mobo SP4270 seen last about the half a year ago... If the welding, I don't wonder the problem... but if not, there may be a solution...

  • Need advice on the installation of WinXP/2000 on Satellite Pro 4270

    Hello!

    (Sorry for the redundancy of this topic on this forum, too.)

    Please, any suspicion on this strange problem will be appreciated.

    I bought a used Satellite Pro 4270, with totally empty 6 GB drive, a pretty neat and apparently well kept machine...

    But, trying to make a new clean Win2000Pro installed on it, as previously successfully dozens of times on other PC machines, installation will be ending in a minute after that is to start with the 4 on setupdd.sys error!

    On WinXPPro new clean install, that the procedure will be stuck in less than 10 seconds, without any error at all...

    So, it might be the reason the cause?

    I tried several different corrective actions on this machine and guess several reasons, the cause, for example

    -the hard drive works fine on other machines and has also been fully verified and updated in shape at low altitude
    -copies of CD installation I tried several all work fine on other machines
    -the BIOS has been upgrade v2.70 just some time ago
    -the CMOS was turned off, i.e. in default some time ago
    -the machine was torn off at the minumum on audio memory, PCI, USB, etc.
    -the machine must be somehow strangely, which on the BIOS or HDD?
    -are there some 'weird' IDE or other driver disappeared on this case?
    -tests with installing Win98SE and FAT32 will not lead to a better result, just somehow different...

    Best regards

    Pete v.

    Hello Pete

    It's a really bad situation. If you do clean install of the OS you na? t need any special drivers. Everything must be preinstalled when installing the OS is completed successfully.

    If you have a few HARD drive replacement, you should try to use it and see if the HARD drive is certainly not responsible for this. The fact is that W2000 and WXP can be installed successfully on many other old models of laptops and because of that I can't imagine that it is not possible to do the same on your device.

    Is it always that W2000 is supported for this device and you can find that page to download all the drivers of W2000 on Toshiba.

  • Satellite Pro 4270: after update BIOS CPU speed at 250 MHz

    Welcome.

    I have upgraded the BIOS to version 2.7 (downloaded on toshiba website) in Satellite Pro 4270 and after her, my bus speed decrease to 250 MHz, so now I have Celeron 250 MHz instead of 500 MHz. You have some suggestions? Where can I find the old version of the BIOS in v2.7?
    Thank you

    HI Artur,

    Unfortunately, it is not possible to download an older version of BIOS on yout laptop since the BIOS update procedure is written to test later versions pre-installed and not too write.

    You will need to take your laptop to a Service partner certified to have a previous version of the BIOS re-installed.

    Kind regards

  • Black screen on startup of the satellite Pro M30

    Hello

    Sometimes, I have the problem that my laptop starts up with a black screen. What will happen is that the Red Toshiba logo comes up first, but before you get the loading Windows screen screen will turn black and will cease any activity hard drive and cdrom. The laptop will then just stay there until I have manually turn it works again.

    I was not yet able to determine exactly in what circumstances sometimes, when starting, sometimes when you restart it.

    After that I restart the Windows laptop then tell me he could not start properly and ask me for the etc SafeMode. That's why I first concluded that it could be a Windows problem, but after using the recovery dvd twice I think I can exclude.

    One of my colleagues noticed something on what may be a problem with the video card do not load or commissioning, which doesn't seem likely?

    Any ideas?

    Hi robc,.

    very good and detailed describtion!

    In my opinion the graphics card work properly because otherwise the Toshiba logo have not been shown.

    So I think that failure is perhaps a bad connection of the IDE cable, but to know definitely you should bring a short verification to a Toshiba Service partner!

    I think that your M30 Satellite Pro is still under warranty

  • Battery 'empty' XP on Satellite Pro 4270

    Hi all

    Although the battery is quite new, it is displayed as 'empty' in my Satellite Pro XP 4270. When cross-checking with an another Satellite 4270 Win98 battery works well and indicated as '100% ' in the Toshiba power saver utility.

    Is there a special utility (such as electricity-saving) must be installed for XP? There is no given special driver vor 4270 / XP on the support pages of Toshiba and in view of the Act and so forth is recognized properly - except for the battery.

    Any suggestions or experiences wellcome,
