  • Satellite M40: Errors graphics when you change the screen resolution

    Hello
    I have a Satellite M40 and a big problem.

    When a program changes the resolution of the screen, the screen is messed up.
    I see only scratches and only a reboot can run back (or suspend-to-disk).

    [edit]
    I plugged an external monitor to the laptop and it works,
    the laptop screen is full of lines and the 2nd monitor shows what the laptop screen should normally display also
    [/ Edit]

    This can be seen also at the change of the Xwindows mode in linux back to tty(1-6)

    It looks like a hardware problem, but would it be just a bad bios setting?

    Hello

    There may be something wrong with the screen of laptop computers.
    I guess that the graphics card is ok because the external screen works properly.

    But it s very interesting to know if you are using the graphics driver from Toshiba. If this isn't the case, please check if this problem also appears after installation of the graphics driver from the Toshiba driver page.

  • Brightness of the screen messed up

    I'm having a problem with the brightness of the screen. First of all, let me explain that I had a problem that caused me to lose my HD content, so I had to reinstall everything from scratch. I didn't have the recovery disks and also lost the recovery Partition, if she was really from scratch - I installed a new version of Windows 8 Pro. I, however, was installing all software and drivers page drivers & software for my model - SVE14A27CXH. I installed EVERYTHING - video drivers, Vaio care, everything.

    Almost everything works fine now, but I noticed and issue with the BRIGHTNESS. I have it configured in the energy settings for the brightness will be about 80% when connected and about 40% when running on the battery. However, I have noticed that if I go on battery power, then reconnect, brightness rise - in fact, it is often even LESS THAN 40%, something like 20% more.

    In addition, even when it is connected (and AS WELL a battery) brightness varies all the time. It is brilliant (like 80%), then it seems to go down a bit (maybe 60%), then rises to the top... I tried to find a function that automatically adjusts the brightness, but could not find - and even if it did exist, it should not change all the time that I am in a room that is lit evenly.

    In any case, it seems that there is some sort of automatic adjustment - I just tried to switch off the light and the brightness is down. The problem is that I can't find out how to turn it off.


  • The dust under the screen - repair or exchange of the conditions

    Hello Forum,

    I hope you all good.

    So, I'm new here and enough new to Apple and after about 6-8 months of use of the iPhone 6 s more, I noticed that the dust is entered in the upper left corner of the screen. This worsens a week and I suspect that's the strength of touch combined with the haptic function - I am very familiar with the key Force so I use it all the time.

    My question - as I live in Romania where it isn't an official Apple store, but I will make a few trips across Europe soon - I'll be able to have changed him into an Apple Store? I plan do iPhone 7A from there, but all I want to know is if they are going to change it without worrying. I should mention that I have not received for this phone as I bought it from someone who gave me the sealed box, including the General Apple warranty 1 year - so I activated the iPhone first. The phone still looks like new and never had a problem during use.

    As my trip to France will only modified for 4 days, do you think they will just change by another or I have to wait they repair it and all that? But above all, they have even considering, if I have not received? I ask because Android phones are a mess when it comes to security.

    You guys could help me with this?

    Thank you!
    Lucian

    If the phone was bought in a EU Member country, you can get it in any member country of the European Union.

    In other cases, the phone cannot be repaired in the country of purchase.

    If you have little time to get the phone repaired by Apple, see if you can make an appointment.

  • 15 "MacBook Pro early 2011 screen and use failure, horizontal lines, edges off the coast of the center of the screen

    Hi there-

    recently worked when all of a sudden my screen turned to a variety of 'snow '. After about 2 seconds, he stopped, but the screen was seriously messed up. Horizontal lines apart a few millimeters, but the lines look as if they were moving a little. In addition, the edge of the screen is now near the Center, rather than on the edge of the physical screen. So, there is a black bar halfway in the screen which cut into 2.

    It froze the computer as well, if I pressed the power to restart. It loaded very well through the screen of apple, but as soon as he hit the login screen, he returned to no usable lines. Cannot get back in.

    Anyone that prior experience, or know what I can do to get out of trouble? Looks different from most other 'horizontal' issues I found in searching.

    Photo attached.

    Thanks and best,

    Curt

    What is your question? Is your phone broken? folded? Does not work properly?

    If this isn't the case, don't worry about this. If so, make an appointment at the genius bar to your Apple store.

  • NB520, NB550D - how swich off the screen immediately?

    I can't find "function key" to switch off the screen immediately...
    Don't mess this with past to standby or hibernation state. I just need to swich off the screen during some computer work (to save battery life) or hide the view of someone who comes to me :)

    Hi communication,

    Such a combination of keys is not available to immediately turn off the screen.

    But what you can do to save the batteries setting screen brightness dimmed in Windows power options. There you can set the brightness of the screen dimmed to 10% for example and display dim after 2 or 3 minutes. :)

  • How can I move the bookmark icon to the left side of the screen in Firefox 8.0?

    I am left handed and after all this time I've lost the favorite icon as the icon home page at the far right of the screen. Why have you done this, look like Windows Explorer? If I wanted IE8.0 I would have used. And the default search engine is Bing? At least there is a work around to change that. You have really made a mess of this exceptional product.

  • Satellite Pro P100 can not get the screen to work again

    If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

    I bought a monitor to use when I am in the office (it's a LG Flatron L225WT), installed the software that came with it and plugged. Nothing seemed to happen, then in Toshiba HWSetup, I changed my power on the screen 'LCD + Analog RGB'.

    To cut a long story short, the external screen works perfectly now, but I cannot access the internal screen, even after changing the power supply on the display to 'Automatic Selection '. The Fn + F5 key does not appear to have any effect at all.

    I must have inadvertently done something to mess up the computer. Can anyone suggest how I could reset it back?

    TIA to all who can help you!

    -Laurence

    I put t know what laptop you have and don t know what OS you are using, but it seems that you have managed to set the external monitor as the main screen.
    You should change in display properties (right click on desktop-> properties)

    Somewhere in the settings, you should try to score the internal display (1) and should mark use this device as the primary monitor

    You won't find any similar settings or this will not help then set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning. In this case all settings will be reset!

  • Since the installation of version 4, on a 64-bit computer that is running Windows xp, I have a series of lines on the screen, and as I move the cursor, various parts of the screen are covered by black areas or colors randomly. Why?

    I gave you the basic information. My screen is messed up since I installed version 4. The location of the lines changes while I'm typing, or I change pages. And also the areas get blackened, as I move the cursor.

    Try turning off hardware acceleration. Click on the 'Tools' menu or the orange "Firefox" button, then select 'Options', go to 'Advanced' and uncheck the box next to "use hardware acceleration if available.

    If that solves the problem, it means that there is probably a bug in the graphics driver. Make sure that your Windows system is updated and the updates of your computer manufacturer driver.

  • Re: Toshiba L305 Satellite 1) screen is messed up and only start in safe mode

    * HELP! *

    Windows starts only in safe mode or safe mode with network. My screen is messed up (black and gray with horizontal lines and the screen looks like it scrolls continuously).

    I connected the laptop to an external monitor and it still does not start normally and I need to recover contacts from my iphone from itunes.

    Is there something I can do? I really don't want to lose all my contacts! I have to remove the hard drive and it burst in another machine and try to start windows normally to have access to my current drive with all the data that is on it, but I don't know if it works or if it's a bad idea.

    What could be causing the screen get all dirtied upwards and at the same time windows does not start normally? I have never had a virus before problems!

    Help! Thanks :)

    Hello

    > Windows will only start in safe mode or safe mode with networking

    It seems that the bootmanger is corrupt or something like this

    > I really don't want to lose all my contacts!

    I know, I Safe mode, you have access to all data on the hard drive. So, you can move all the important data on USB or on the partition (if available) 2 nd on your hard drive and you don't need to remove the hard drive
    Then you can reinstall Windows with a recovery disc or by using the disk copy of Win. This is the best solution in your case, try to fix windows can take a lot of time as a new installation.

  • Computer is humming, fan turns on and the screen is blank when I start computer

    This problem happens every 90 days. When I took the computer to the repair shop, he had no problem with him right there.  If the computer remains stationary, the problem persists, but once it is moved in a certain way, it will start normally. Specifically, I spilled on the computer and the problem stopped.  I have a hard time to explain a problem to the repair shop when it no longer exists at the time wherever I have it get there. Is there a more permanent solution that mess up the computer?

    When I tried to turn on my computer, I get a buzzing sound, then the fan came and the screen remained blank.  I tried to restart after an hour, but it's the same, what's the problem? >

    Hello DempseyBullock,

    Sorry, you experience this problem.  The first thing I would say is contact the manufacturer of your computer.  Also, I suggest to go to the manufacturer's Web site to confirm that there is no news updates for the drivers, firmware, or BIOS updates.

    If you are unable to start your Windows XP-based computer, try the steps in the below links:
