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

  • Tecra S1: Screen starts flashing and is now black

    Hello. I have a Toshiba Tecra S1. Its 4 years.

    Last night my screen suddenly started flashing and my computer froze. I had to reboot my computer and then the screen starts sometimes, but mostly it stays black. If splash screens, I have only gently shake the computer until the screen flashes again and the computer crashes.

    Otherwise, it seems that the computer works as it should do.

    Could you please tell my computer can be repaired or should I think about buying a new computer.

    Best regards

    In my opinion there would be something wrong with the motherboard.
    Perhaps dysfunction of VGA chip maybe some covers may come into contact with the VGA chip and cause of could short-circuit.
    This could be an explanation why the screen flashes and the computer hangs after a shaking gently.

    But buddy note; Here are just a few suggestions and you should contact the ASP if you want to know what's wrong s and what causes this problem.

  • Satellite U400-131 crashed while the screen of the BIOS udpate - now black

    Bios Update crashed my laptop Satellite U400-131, now I got the black screen and don't know what to do?

    Someone knows how to fix this?

    Thank you

    Vries Matthijs

    This bad s Companion
    It was the worst case that could appear wile BIOS update.

    There is not a lot of things you could try
    In your case the ASP must be contacted in order to check the machine and the module ROM where the BIOS is stored

    If you're lucky, while the ROM module must be flashed again and the laptop should start again if the worst cases the motherboard must be replaced.

  • Satellite C660 - right of the screen will flash green

    Hey, I wonder if someone can help me - the screen on my satellite C660, only about two months old, started flashing green stripes a couple of days after I set the screen forward slightly. Nothing has got rid of him, and whenever the screen is moved it flickers more strongly or turns into a solid green Strip.

    I thought that this could be a problem where the screen connects to the computer, but I looked around the hinges and it seem not to be the son of cowards. I have not yet contacted Toshiba because I'll have to call their support number UK since France, which will cost a bomb, wonder if anyone here had any ideas first? If it happened to someone else?

    Thank you!

    In my opinion, it is not so important if someone else the bonnet or not and that you should not waste your time waiting for responses.

    I put t know where you bought this laptop but every laptop purchased in Europe has guaranteed EMEA then please call authorized Toshiba service provider in the country where you live now and ask for help. You have the new laptop and if there are some hardware related question lets fix that.

    Addresses and telephone numbers of aspic all you can find on Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

  • Satellite U400 will not usually start upward

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400-217 (PSU44E) running Windows 8.

    Worked fine until a week ago. Now, when I turn it on, the lights are, there is a memory hard drive spin (1 second) - and then nothing. Above the keyboard lights stay on, but the screen remains black.

    I read a use Reset where you take the battery and the power cable on and press and hold power for 30 seconds, then plug the power cable in, starting at the top, stop, reinsert the battery and start again.

    However, the machine still primer not after 30 seconds the hold button. I always get just the lights and nothing else.

    However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out all 30 or more.

    It's boring - ideas or suggestions very welcome.

    Thank you very much

    KaiBosh

    > However, the machine will start usually fine on an attempt to out every 30 or more.

    In my opinion, you should first check the HARD drive
    A friend of mine installed Win 8 on the new computer laptop from another manufacturer
    After a while that the laptop will not start I thought its something wrong with the card mother, but in the end it was just a HARD drive failure

    To be honest I n don't know if his only problem disk HARD but in my opinion, the HARD drive is one of the first pieces that need to be checked
    OK, in the worst case, it could be possible that dysfunction of this mobo.
