T61 screen flickered for awhile, now no backlight
Hi all
My T61 widescreen began flashing a few weeks back, then a few minutes after the start, the backlight is out. I went to restart, but it came again dark. However, a light tap on the side of the cover has the backlight to the top, but it was released again in a few minutes, also rotating top down the lid caused the light only flashes on briefly, but not permanently. Tapping and turning is no longer effects. I can easily see the desltop with a flashlight and it all just seems like it should.
There is no "pink screen," I read here is a symptom of a bad backlight.
Thinking it may be mechanical, a bad connection (which is what the manul says check first), I removed the bezel cover and back of the front monitor, checked the main connection in the computer, but hesitate to sink into the side of the monitor in addition, because of all these "do not touch" stickers.
Any speculation on what is happening? Bad inverters causing flicker?
I am considering a new outboard monitor, something more grand, because I use the machine for graphics and 1440 x 900 is really a bit small.
Is there a type of big fight to connect my T61 to a second monitor? No constraint on the size or other specifications?

Screen flickers for Windows 7 Service Pack 1
I just installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and immediately noticed screen flickers every 1-2 seconds.
Have you noticed the same thing?
I have a T410 with NVS 3100 M, using a HD TV for monitor via a DVI-HDMI cable.
Answering my own question... changed the resolution under the NVIDIA control panel update settings in HD, 1080 p, 1920 x 1080 (recommended) at 50 Hz SD and it seems to fix the problem. Previously it was set at PC 1920 x 1080 (native) at 60 Hz refresh.

Re: Satellite P870 - screen flickers for a while after the Toshiba homepage
My new Toshiba Satellite P870 starts with screen blinking 1, 2 or 3 times with each start, exactly AFTER. Toshiba, Leading Innovation Logo starts.
Can anyone help?
Thank you in advance!
I put t know what it looks like, but as something like this shouldn't happen. If you have any new laptop contact your dealer as soon as possible, explain the situation and ask for replacement.
If you are not satisfied with your product, you can get replacement. In my client countries have 14 days to do so.

Toshiba 32AV615DB screen flickers offshore for a split second every few seconds
Hello
I got my toshiba TV to the end of 2009 and have not had any problems until recently.
While watching my Virgin + box and while on the game console, the screen flickers offshore for a fraction of a second every few seconds.
At first I thought it was me flashing, it happens that fast until someone else noticed it as well.
This does not happen all by using the TV for a monitor for my PC.Anyone know what the problem is and if I am able to fix it or not?
I bought the TV RicherSOunds with a guarantee 5 years so if it is something bad I can resume and they will fix it or give me a new free.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hello
If the warranty is still valid, I recommend you contact the technician (point of service) in your country to control the TV.
All you can do is check some settings and connection cable, but that's it.
Troubleshooting TV is limited and in most cases, these issues need an audit by experts. -

If the problem is related to a corrupted catalog, try to open the organizer with a new empty catalog.
Hold down the SHIFT key at the launch of the Organizer. You get a dialog box with the choice to start with a new catalog, or start with a different catalog and even to 'fix' the current catalog. If your organizer starts with an empty catalog, use the option 'fix' on your corrupt catalog.

I downloaded creative cloud - it worked for awhile, a few applications downloaded, but now it doesn't open at all. When I double-click the icon of cloud creation, nothing happens. (As mentioned earlier it worked, and I downloaded the four apps.) Any suggestions?
Please, try the following steps:
- Uninstall Adobe CC (Creative Cloud help |) Uninstall the creative Office Cloud app)
- Reboot the computer.
- Install the latest Adobe Creative cloud version from the link: CC help | Creative cloud desktop

Never had CS6 so had not yet installed on my system (as part of the first installation) - had CC for awhile and just realized there is not yet - someone knows a way to still get on the road with CC Prime Minister? I looked for days now and the best advice seems to apply to CC 2014 and has to do with installoing a previous version (CS6) of the Prime Minister - but seems not to apply to the CC 2015... HELP - I have plans to burn and don't want to go to third-party software (if I do I'll ditch CC because it won't let me complete my work on a DVD!) @.
Hi Matt,
I found this link corresponding to your query, please see if it helps: CS6 still not installed with creative cloud

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
KrzysztofHello
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

Hi, I bought my laptop about two years ago. A few days ago the screen suddenly dies, and at startup, it flashes several times with the correct display, but then turns off. The backlight seems to stay on. When I use an external monitor with HDMI port, the external monitor works fine, however, the laptop screen remains empty. Here's a video of what it looks like when I first boot the laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmro4P1NmyY & feature = youtu.be , how can I do to fix this problem? Thanks, Wes
Hello and thanks for the display on the HP support forum. It is somewhat a problem when it comes to laptops that comes up from time to time.
The reason is there is a cable connected to the motherboard that goes back through the hinge area and connects to an inverter that powers the monitor.
Once the cable wears out, but more often just to move General around get you a loos to the inverter or the motherboard connection.
Here is a link to your Maintenance and service guide. You can use this to help pull the cable and inspect the connections.
Here is a video that will show you how essentially happen to things as well to test and check the cable.

Screen flickering on Satellite X 200 - 21 k
Hello!
I bought by Satellite X 200 - 21 k about 2 months ago and I don't have any problems with it so far. Yesterday, while I was doing some work on my laptop and I noticed that the screen started flickering. With twinkle, the screen brightness was going lower and lower, and at one point, it was really dark. I plugged in and out the power cable and the screen changed its brightness while I was doing that. At one point, my left side of the screen was completely black, while the right one was very dark. I restarted computer 3 times and it happened again and again and again. After another reboot, the screen went well. Now, while I write this everything is normal, but I'm still worried about it.
Do you have any tips for me? You may know the reason why this is happening? Could this be a virus? What is a power cable? Graphics card? :(
Kind regards
User of satellite X 200-21 k
Hello
> You may know the reason why this is happening? Could this be a virus? What is a power cable? Graphics card?
-Problem of virus-> don t think that this issue could be caused by a virus or malware
-Power cable-> maybe, but I would tend to the issue of the monitor.There is a simple procedure to test if the graphics card is malfunctioning or not.
You can try to connect the laptop to the external display and could test whether the same question appears on the screen external, second.
If the same appear on the external monitor, then chances are that the GPU is defective.But if the question doesn't appear on the external monitor, then the portable computers internal display is faulty or the small part as the FL inverter begins to malfunction.
However, it looks like a hardware problem and a hardware problem should be always checked by a SPA who is responsible for your country.
Bye good luck

CPU hit 100% + screen flickering/flashing
Hi people, I wanted to help with a problem, that I started having recently!
My CPU seems to be hitting 100% on 5secs or until this particular file with .mp4 files charges completely upwards (when I access .mp4 files), but when I convert them, the screen just flashes / flickers, before the end of conversion.
I installed need for speed undercover on my laptop 2 months back, ive played and now I try to play the screen flickers once, twice, and soon, it minimizes that I start to play the game, when I click on the tab again he'll come for about a minute of my time to game and then same problem once again It loads well, only sometimes when it loads what's going on, but most of the time is when I start to play the game, because I can't just play this game either, until I get this fixed a problem.The system remains calm, but the success of CPU 100% and then the problem starts.
What could be the problem?
I would be grateful for any help.
Thank you
For you advise adequately requires more information, if you please.
1. which model Qosmio & OS?
2. Toshiba provided video drivers or if not from what source?
3. can you connect an externalmonitor and describe what is happening?
4. what happens if you run the application conversion 640 x 480?It; s a case of trying to diagnose the card video driver or guilty TFT.

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.

My Windows is updated, and I have the latest version of the driver installed on the system from ATI.
It is very annoying. Any help is appreciated.
