Tecra A3: display noise

Hello

I have a new Tecra A3, Centrino 1.6 760 MB of RAM, Win XP Pro SP2.
A few days ago a weird problem started, where I started to see grains in the display. White flicker i.e. small spots all over the screen, similar to the TV noise when there is no station tuned. In addition, all fonts are thick/serrated, double-edged, color gradations are not at all normal.

I thought it was a driver issue screen, not so used, uninstall, install the latest drivers from Toshiba, Intel, but nothing is. Previously it was intermittent. Sometimes it starts with a normal display, sometimes the problem.
Now, every time, it starts with the noise.

I also noticed a when I turn on the laptop, I turned off the logo in the bios, so I don't see the memory check during POST. All these policies, at this point is are shredded.
If an operating system problem is excluded. Even the XP windows logo during boot a whitish flickering.
As a last resort, I tried upgrading the BIOS v 2.10. but no use.

Can someone please say or I might have to turn in controls of the Toshiba svc Center, which would take a few days.

Hello

Well well, in my opinion it s a hardware malfunction. I guess this problem may be the FL inverter but I m not 100% sure. The FL inverter is a spare low cost part and very easy to replace.
You must contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. They have more practical knowledge in this case.

Good bye

  • Tecra R850 - display driver problem - BSOD

    Hello

    I have a Tecra R850 with the ATI HD 6450 M and every now and again it crashes and BSOD appears.
    I have observed that mainly happens when playing flash videos.
    After reviewing the events system, I discovered that there is a problem with the display adapter driver.

    The said event system is perhaps a solution [here: http://wer.microsoft.com/Responses/Response.aspx/21682/en/5.1.2600.0.00000000.9.9?SGD=13feb1cd-4c8b-4c3a-aeee-ca4ca2c99729]

    This Web page indicates that it is a bug in the driver and I need to upgrade to the latest driver to solve problem, and it provides a link to the ATI Web page.

    I downloaded the drivers from ATI Web page and the installation program indicates that it is not compatible with Toshiba laptops.
    I checked the Web from Toshiba site and I already have the last (and only) driver for my graphics card.

    As it appears on the Web page, there is a bug in the driver, but Toshiba seems not having published an update of the pilot despite Ati...

    Can anyone help?

    Thank you
    Jose.

    Hi Jose

    Are you using the original Toshiba pre-installed Windows or your own version?
    Display driver original included in the original recovery image is tested, so you shouldn't have trouble with basic stuff like flash video playback.

    Since when did you notice this problem? Can you give us an example when this happens?
    You have installed updates?
    To be honest, I can't imagine that this issue is on the first day of use.

  • Tecra 8100: display suddenly will Dim

    Hello

    during normal operation of the Tecra 8100, suddenly the screen darkens. The display still works, only the backlight is dark. By pressing the small pin, which is turn off the backlight when you close the screen, light reappeares. Sometimes for hours, sometimes for a few minutes, but especially the second. A restart of the computer solves the problem for at least half an hour. What can I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Kai

    Hello

    When the screen will Dim can you get by pressing any key on the keyboard or move the mouse?

  • Tecra A4 - audio noise. URGENT!

    Hello
    last week, I bought my new tecra a4-168
    but there is audio noise when I play the audio CD, mp3, midi...
    I tried the helmet and it's the same problem (which means that it is not the fault of speakers)
    I tested all the files on other PCs and they were very good.
    I tried to disable powermanagment but the problem remains the same, I also updated the bios.

    the audio driver version is 5.12.1.5240

    Hello

    I can't imagine that this problem is on the first day. You did notice since when this noise persists? On this path, it is not easy to say why this sound produced what may be the reason.

    I put t believe that noise occur because of the sound card. If there is no success, change audio settings don't try to reinstall the unit with recovery CD. If the problem persists it is definitely a hardware failure and the unit can be checked by the service partner. The warranty will cover all costs.

  • Tecra A4: fan noise

    Hello
    I have a new laptop Tecra A4 with a processor P740 and am concerned enough by the noise of the fan.

    I have tried many operations to cool the laptop, including:
    -clock down to 800 Mhz processor
    v down the processor 0, 732V
    -clock to the bottom of the ATI graphics card.

    However, even with these restrictions, the fan works regularly in order to cool the CPU.

    I have not found any fan monitoring software that works with this Tecra.
    I've seen some users Dell face the same issues and that Dell developed a specific BIOS to resolve this (in mode AC, the fan can run constantly, but at a very low speed).
    I hope Toshiba works too on this topic...

    Hello

    I didn't see the new Tecra A4, but you can try to use the properties of standby power settings. Here you can change the method of cooling. Try to set it to the lower level.

  • Tecra M2 - strange noise abnormal notebook

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    I received my new Tecra M2 two days ago. As I started using it, I noticed a strange noise coming from the laptop. I'm QUITE sure that's NOT the hard drive or fan, as it seems odd and it's a constant noise. Noise is also quite noisy and annoying, it sounds like a mobile phone signal! Could you tell me what could be the problem and how to solve?

    Thank you very much

    Hello
    I also had a problem with noise if my M2 has been linked to a portreplicator. The solution was the number of Microsoft Hotfix KB822603. I hope this will help you.

  • Tecra M7 - display will not be repeated after 10 minutes of inactivity

    Hello everyone, I'm new here so please be patient with me! :-)

    I've had my new Tecra M7 for about a week now, and while everything else seems to work perfectly, there is a problem with the LCD screen. By default, it is configured to turn off after being idle for 10 minutes. The problem is that it won't resume from this State.

    I see that the laptop itself is working (he reacts to pressure on keys etc.) but I had to Hibernate and resume the screen lights up. The touchpad and keyboard activity doing nothing, only hibernate.

    At the office, I use the laptop dual-view mode with external 19 "LCD screen connected as secondary display. In this case, the external LCD display will resume after moving the mouse or touch the touchpad, but the primary laptop LCD screen will remain inactive until hibernation.

    My question is: do you have someone running into the same question, or that someone has any ideas?

    I thought to upgrade drivers Quadro NVS, but discovered that the pre-installed ForceWare drivers (version 84.52) accompanying are actually more recent than those displayed on the nVidia site (84,26 - confusion)! Also he reports (everywhere in the system), it has 256 MB of video RAM, so the specification Tecra M7 on the box says 128 MB so I don't know which is correct?

    Thanks for all the ideas in advance!
    RADO

    Hello

    Certainly, the nVIDIA Quadro NVS 110 M on the Tecra M7 graphics card supports 128 MB of video RAM.
    Graphics drivers from Toshiba are not the same thing as the manufacturers of original cards drivers. Toshiba drivers are a bit changed.
    You must use the drivers from the site of nVidia, but especially on the site of Toshiba.

    If there is a newer version of the graphics card driver, then remove the old and install the driver from the website of Tosh.
    Additional if the new BIOS have been published, you can try to update. But be careful. Be sure to use the good BIOS and the correct procedure for updating the BIOS.

    Good luck..

  • Tecra S1 - display problem, even on external monitor

    One day I was using the laptop, surfing the net normally, everything was fine and suddenly the screen went bad... (photo below). I tried using an external monitor and still the same, so I'm sure that my monitor is fine and it is probably a problem of display card?
    I tried to update my display card driver and no luck, so I decided to use the recovery CD to restore the system and no luck once again.

    Here is a screenshot after the system restore... y at - there a way to fix this without taking it to a service center?
    Thank you

    Hi borist,

    It s really great that you could post a picture of your problem. Thank you!
    In addition, you have already tried a lot of as the recovery facility and an external monitor.

    Unfortunately, it seems to be a hardware malfunction of graphics card. :(

    This means that you will need to swap the motherboard because the graphics card is fixed on it. Motherboard is a party quite expensive and Tecra S1 is old notebook then maybe you can get a second hand or laptop motherboard on eBay and swap it out.

    Good luck! :)

  • Tecra 9000 display driver

    Hello

    I recently acquired a Toshiba Tecra 9000. I added a new 40 GB hard drive and installed Windows XP. The standard display driver does not allow me to connect an external monitor to extend my Windows desktop on 2 screens, so I downloaded the latest driver on this site. However, when I try to install the driver (S3 Graphics SuperSavage/IXC 1179) a hardware setup error appears saying this driver has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify the compatibility with XP. There is no other driver to select on the Toshiba site, so I installed the driver. At first, everything seemed ok, but today my laptop has projected Blue 6 times within the last hour. I've now uninstalled the driver and have not had any problems. However, because I have everything installed display drivers display is basic at best.

    No one else has this problem with the display driver for a Tecra 9000 with XP? Or anyone knows other drivers compatible with my model?

    Thank you

    It's very strange! All the drivers on the Toshiba download page are the same as the CD Utility & Tools.
    Is your TECRA 9000 a European model?
    Try using the driver CD tools & utilities. On this way, you'll be sure to use a right.

  • Tecra 8000: Display driver

    Hi all, I hope someone can help with my problem. I have a Tecra 8000 and just reformat and installed Windows 98 Second edition, the problem is that I have a small window in the middle of the screen with a black border completely round. I don't have the original disks that came with it and said that I need to install the display driver, as I can change the resolution, is does anyone know where I can download this driver from, or can someone provide me with it. I tried the download from toshiba site, but its not available.
    I also tried to change the resolution, but because there is only the installed base driver I can't change it. If anyone can help.
    Thank you
    Mick

    [Edited by: admin on 3 July 05 13:21]

    Hello Mick

    The problem is that this device is not supported for W98SE and that is a reason why you can not find a driver on the Toshiba site. The graphics card in your unit is NeoMagic NM2200 (MagicMedia 256av).

    Please check on the net if you can find a driver on the site of producer of graphics card. There is no guarantee that it will work, but I'm sure that there should be no problem. Please also check the BIOS settings if there is an option called display stretching or something like that. If so he set to active.
