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 S1 - black screen even on external monitor

    Hello

    I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but here goes: I have a tecra s1 who was working fine then one day. I turned it on all I get a black screen. I suspect that it's the hard drive but not 100%.

    I tried to connect to an external monitor as the same just a black screen. My question is this laptop does not start if the hard drive is bad I think it would be at least got to the bios screen, but I get nothing but a black screen.

    any help would be appreciated thanks.

    Hi cracypcguy,

    For me, this looks like a hardware malfunction if on an external monitor, you can see a white screen also. In addition, I doubt it has something to do with the HARD drive. In this case you should see the screen of the BIOS at least.

    Anyway, in your case, I'll ask a maintainer approved assistance. Technicians can check your laptop parts and the exchange of defective material.

    I hope I could help you! :)

  • Tecra A10 - 1LL - connection with the external monitor

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop Tecra A10.

    When I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I have to manually switch the screens because external shows nothing. When I disconnect the monitor I have to pass the screens manually with FN + F5 because the internal display shows nothing.

    My old laptop (Tecra A9 (PTS52E-0E702NGR)) is the poster automatically whenever I connected or disconnected an external monitor.

    Anyone has an idea why the A10 light automatically as the old notebook? Maybe it's the only spot in the preferences of the display driver that I don't see right now. :-)

    Hi SilverWizard,

    What happens if you try to switch on the external monitor using the options of display driver, or that this combination of buttons don t work?

    As wrote Al - eX you must update tools from Toshiba to get the keys FN working again. Everything can be downloaded here:

  • Tecra A2: Question about DVI and external monitor

    Hello
    I am trying to get a DVI Signal of the Tecra A2 using the Advanced Port Replicator III but without success. The A2 does support DVI anyway?
    Another question: is it possible to set up the main display to the external monitor using "extended Desktop"?

    Thank you
    Ralph Menon

    Hello Ralph

    Your unit doesn t support DVI port and you can't use it. As far as I know just the ports that you can find on the device, you can use in Port Replicator because the signal is just loop through.

    The problem with the screen is that mobile has the main value and it cannot be changed (on my Tecra M1 nor). The windows will be implemented on an external but password box will always be displayed on the screen of the laptop.

    Good bye

  • Problems with the external monitor W540 connection

    Hi, maybe someone can help me. I'm trying to connect a W540 (no external dock) to an external monitor Dell.

    I tried with two monitors, but none work.

    Connected via VGA port on the side of the W540

    (1) connected monitor and clogged up the resolution of the screen on laptop (lines icons tiny, black on each side of the screen). External monitor works fine. When unplugged, it went back to the previous screen resolution.

    (2) laptop registered resolution and icon size of the screen as a profile.

    (3) external monitor connected right click options graphics Intel, insured was custom display, main display plus external monitor, then had to go in a re - click on the name of the saved profile.

    (4) this worked ok until the next day, when turned on laptop and a blue screen. Managed to get this back hard by restarting and completed the steps in N3

    (5) cannot get the Nvidia Control Panel to display anything else than the 3D options, even if it make the default value (instead of the Intel graphic card)

    Can anyone offer some so that I can connect an external monitor without having to go through all this hassle every time? Why this affects the laptop so bad (and also, it runs very slowly after that)

    Running Windows 8 (but with the interface of Windows 7)

    Thank you very much

    Thank you. A quick update, I contacted Lenovo, and they sent the updated bios drivers. I also uninstalled some software Canon MP Navigator and Lenovo EMC Discovery (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081844?tabName=Solutions). One or all of them seem to have solved the problem, including the slow start.

  • Display headaches! My external monitor is labeled as default, 1 and primary.

    Hi I am using Windows Vista Home Edition. I use an external CRT monitor with my laptop for several months without problems. To connect the monitor external, all I do is check the button "to extend to this monitor" and then 'apply '. I can then move windows external monitor and watch movies.
    However, since yesterday my laptop does not display images. I put on the external monitor and noticed that my desktop, icons, etc. were all on the external monitor. Even worse I have when I go to display settings, I see that the external monitor is labeled "default monitor." On the Nvidia Control Panel, it is presented as 'primary monitor' and has the number 1. When I try to set my laptop as primary on the Nvidia Control Panel it displays a dialog box won't let me change.
    To my surprise, I now have to check the button "to extend to this monitor" to see the images on my laptop, which is an empty office with a blurred image and color. I also have to move the mouse to the left of the CRT monitor to my laptop screen, the complete opposite. When I click on "identification of instructors" it shows my 1 CRT and my laptop 2!
    It's crazy! I need my laptop to stay on the screen by default, number 1 and primary. But it now appears that the CRT has taken over as my main screen.
    When I power off, unplug the CRT and powered, the display reverts to my laptop. But as soon as I connect the CRT to my laptop, my laptop screen turns off and the CRT takes over.
    I would really appreciate a help of a guru of computing or a person who has had a similar problem but has overcome.
    Thank you very much.

  • Equium A100: Nothing on the internal display, but on the external monitor

    For some reason, my laptop has forgotten that he has a screen attached to it.
    I can see everything if I attach an external monitor, but there is nothing on my LCD screen, even if it is on and lit. It is only black.

    I tried to update the display drivers and even the BIOS, but neither one of those who helped.

    And it's not my screen brightness, either - which does not at all. It's as if my screen has just been removed from the system. Help, please!

    Are you sure that the display is not faulty? As far as I know if your laptop is not connected to the external display the home screen Toshiba must be indicated on the screen of the laptop.

    Start the laptop without external screen and wait a few minutes. If you think that the operating system is running correctly, try to use the combination of keys FN + F5 several times to see if you get the image on the screen of the laptop.

  • Tecra A2, making it the primary external monitor

    I connected an external flat display of 1280 x 1024 on my A2, the extended value desktop and the native resolutions, everything looks "sharp."

    But whenever I click on the 'do this (external) monitor the primary monitor' box (then apply...); the external screen goes black and the laptop screen goes back to 640 x 480 resolution...

    Before I was perfectly able to do my external screen in primary, but since the 1.30--> 1.40 firmware update it seems more possible... Yet, in my preferences-monitor the appropriate box is clickable. I've also updated the graphics card drivers, but no result better here.

    All I can do to make this work as it did before? Which means that all the screens native resolution and the external display being the main with the Windows bar at the bottom? Any help appreciated :-)

    Greetings from Holland!

  • Tecra S1 display problem

    Unfortnately my tecra s1 hit the table of coffee on the ground, the screen immediately turned white. When I rebooted there was no display at all (black only)
    The computer works as I plugged on a screen external and that was very good. I tried to follow various troubleshooting guides online showing how to disassemble the laptop and reinstall the connector of the display on the motherboard, but this did not remedy the problem.

    I noticed coming from the display was a big bunch of wires going into a connector that I reinstalled, on the right hand side of the screen is a white and black wire to a connector and a pink wire that seemed to just float, I couldn't not whence he came. Does anyone have ideas on the subject of this thread or other tips that can help me.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    Unfortunately, mate, you won't find any manual disassembly here on the pages of Toshiba. These manuals are not for use public and designed only for the FSA.
    But I think you could google a bit and you should find a few details.

    I think that it is a display problem that I doubt that some loose cables could cause this problem
    In my view, the screen is broken and needs to be replaced
    To do this, you should get in touch with your technician ASP.

    Good luck

  • Satellite M30X-111 screen does not display anything but the external monitor works

    My laptop just screen does not display anything (like when the computer is turned off), but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop is displayed on this screen. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.

    Again, I must plug the external monitor, and after I tried to restart, I continue to pressing F8 but the startup mode is not come, the noise of when you press a button for too long beeps, however, the monitor of the laptop working again.

    How can I solve this problem?

    What do you do? You want to recover the laptop?
    If Yes, you n press any F8 but you will need to boot from the recovery CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

    But this question seems that you have accidentally switched to external display.
    I recommend checking the Fn + F5 option. This combination allow you to switch between the display and the external monitor.

    * Hi-speed III Port Replicator is not an option, because it is not available in my country (Croatia).

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

  • Tecra M11-LaTeX runs slow on external monitor using Express Port Replicator

    Hi all

    I am having trouble with my Tecra M11 with an external monitor, through an Express Port Replicator II.

    It is very accurate, but I am running texlive 2010 on my laptop to write a thesis. Whenever I use my laptop screen feature is very good, and it works very fast, no lag when I compile my document. As soon as docking it into my docking station at work to use it on a big screen, whenever I use the same program, it slows down a lot, finally causing the crash program. Its frustrating to lose a lot of your thesis like this! When I connect the external monitor directly to the laptop, it works fine again.

    Something goes wrong in the docking station. Anyone know how I can fix this? Im a little confused and ideas. Maybe I pilot or something im unaware of. My docking station is maybe defective?

    Thank you

    Jake

    Port replicator port on which do you use? VGA or DVI?

    It won't be easy to provide the answer to your question. It is not possible to test all the software available with docking station and research solutions.
    I would say: bad luck.

    One of my clients gave me an Acer Aspire 6930. He said that he was looking at internet porn and he got a message that he had to pay $300.00 to unlock his PC and it stopped on him (see the ice virus?). When I tried to bring up the laptop I have nothing on the screen to indicate to all life. But the disks rotate. I tried to boot from a Windows XP disk and still nothing on the screen. I tried FN + F3 and FN + F5, FN + F6 to no vail. I tried video routing using a HDMI cable and by repeating steps and received a 'no signal' on the external monitor and I tried the same process using a VGA cable for the external monitor and still "no signal". I tried to Flash the bios with a modded one since I don't know how to seprate the exe of the bios with insertng hex editor the usb flash drive and pressing the FN + ESC, and then press the power button and now the keys FN + ESC 5 additional seconds. I am now completely at a loss and could use very little help.

  • Tecra A2 - display problems

    My Tecra A2 has suddenly decided to stop displaying graphics correctly, after you restart it the other day. The first thing I noticed is that the text of the labels for the icons on my desktop are more transparent, that is, the image of the desktop background is no longer visible behind text - the text is surrounded by a blue background. http://www.thelangton.org.UK/icons.gif

    In addition, the web pages are not displayed properly... I can't work quite exactly, what is and does not work, but are not background images, and some tables are not either. A copy of Θcran of how this page is looking here: http://www.thelangton.org.uk/tecra.gif

    Another strange thing I noticed is that the icons in some programs (e.g. media player) are not displayed correctly: http://www.edludlow.co.uk/wmp.gif but it IS full screen http://www.edludlow.co.uk/wmpfull.gif

    Any ideas what's happening? I tried a system files and no luck. Also I tried change screen res, color depth etc, still nothing. Also tried to start in safe mode, and the problems are the same.

    Very annoying!

    Thanks in advance,

    Hello

    Well, it s very strange question. I had never heard of this issue.
    He s strange that the OS recovery doesn't completely solve this problem.
    In this case I suggest that it s something wrong with the hardware. Maybe the FL inverter has a failure.
    Sorry I put t has another idea.

  • Problems with an external monitor with the Port Replicator III and M100

    Hey all.

    I just returned from a trip where I took my laptop. Plugged into the Port Replicator port, started and everything was fine. Then after an hour or two, the monitor stopped receiving a signal. I repositioned the laptop and everything was good again. He then loses signal once again, and I was not able to get a signal via the port replicator since.

    The monitor works fine through the hole at the rear of the M100.

    I checked the pins on the Port Replicator port and portable, none folded and tried to clean any dust etc. Still no signal to the monitor.

    Someone has ideas of how to do to solve this problem?
