Thin blue line on the display on Satellite Pro U200

My laptop screen has suddenly started to show a thin blue line that goes up and down the screen, so that it does not interfere with the details of the screen it is very annoying and I d rather try to get rid of it.

Has anyone seen this happen before?

My first idea was a display problem, but this problem could be linked to the fault of the graphics card too.

So how can I test?
Well, you can connect an external monitor to the laptop.
If the same thin line will appear on the external display, a graphics card problem may be possible.

In both cases, the hardware must be replaced. I think that it s time for the guy to ASP.

  • Upgrade can not display drivers - Satellite Pro U200-10J

    Hi all

    I recently received a Satellite Pro U200, which I am very satisfied so far.

    My current display drivers are the 7.14.10.1147 of the 945GM Express chipset Intel. The new drivers that have been added to the drivers on the Toshiba site list 17 and are the 7.14.10.1227. Unfortunately, they install! I get a message just after the initialization of configuration that these drivers are not the most appropriate for this laptop and it closed facility. When I try to update the Device Manager, it simply tells me that I already have the latest drivers for my machine.

    Please notify; p

    Hello

    Before you start installing the new driver remove the old. You can do this in the properties of the device in Device Manager.

    I did it with my Vista preinstalled Satellite A200 (also with the Intel graphics card).

  • Brightness of the display on Satellite Pro 4300 very dark

    Hello
    I have an old Satellite 4300 Pro that I've updated for my daughter last summer.
    I spent some time just right, put the upgrade of memory maximum and the installation of Windows 2000.

    She just gave it me as she has a new model... and I need the laptop.
    In any case, although it starts, the screen is very dark... totally unusable.
    Oddly, the display is dark during the part of the BIOS of the start-up routine as well.

    I tried many combinations of keys F nothing helps.
    Any suggestions?
    Phil

    Hello Phil

    Pleae note that use of the combination of keys for brightness settings work, just at the moment where OS is started and if some Toshiba designed tools are pre-installed. If this happens when starting laptop too and the BIOS settings are not visible properly I assume the inverter FL (backlight) is defective and must be replaced.

  • Update of the BIOS for Satellite Pro U200 work do not

    BIOS 3.50 update does not work. This is for VISTA or WIN XP PRO?

    One of the users has the same problem expericenced. replys appreciated.

    [Edited by: admin on April 22, 2007 20:40]

    Hello

    The BIOS 3, 50-VICTORY on the Toshiba page is OS independent.
    I guess that the XP and Vista OS are available for this unit, so that the update should work on both s BONES.
    By the way; You should check the Description of the Toshiba BIOS update before upgrading the BIOS.

    But why you want to update the BIOS? If everything works correctly, then I recommend not updated the BIOS

  • Installation operating system using the recovery disc - Satellite Pro U200

    I bought just a U200 and took to rebuild so I understand how it works.

    I have to reinstall from the recovery disk, I was wondering when the recover, there is a question on partitioning, I would partition a drive C and D, machine is when I would do, the question is asked to the amount of space to be allocated to the partition, if allotted jemti 20 GB I'd get a 20 GB C drive and a D drive on the 40 GB remaining?

    Hello

    You are right. If you choose to 20 GB, it will create a 20 GB partition and this partition will be installed the operating system. When you start the second partition (40GB) preinstalled OS will be not visible and you must create a logical partition.

    You can do if you start Computer Management click Disk Management. Click with the right button of the mouse on the partition marked black and choose the option to create the logical drive. Follow the instructions and the D partition will be created.

    If you have any other questions, please write again.

  • Long blue line of the axis on the display of the Satellite A100-207

    Hi guys

    During the few days a thin blue line appeared in the center of the screen-it disappears and reappears on the change of the angle of the screen of the laptop open. Anyone have any ideas as to the cause and possible solutions?

    See you soon

    April

    There is a very simple method to find out what might be wrong.
    Connect the laptop to an external monitor and see if the same thin blue line appears on the second monitor.

    If the same line will be available on the external monitor, I assume that there is something wrong with the cell phones of the GPU (graphics chip).
    This could be a case value because the graphics card is attached to the motherboard and the entire motherboard must be replaced to solve this problem.

    But if the line does not appear on the second monitor or there is a problem with the LCD itself, or with a small part as FL-ups for example.

    In any case, it seems to be a hardware problem, and in this case he must contact the ASP!
    Try to contact the technician and ask for later handling.

    Good luck

  • the presentation of the screen on my monitor is slightly off center with a thin black line on the left hand side. Ho can I fix this. I am running Windows 7 with a monitor Samsung SyncMaster SA10

    The presentation of the screen on my new monitor is slightly biased with a thin black line on the right hand side which makes it awkward hitting the back button on the upper left side of the screen. How can I adjust this?  I am running Windows 7 on a new Compaq PC with AMD Vision and monitor Samsung SyncMaster SA10.

    Any suggestions to adjust welcome.

    Thank you.

    The monitor must have menu on the side or the bottom buttons - in the find menu where you can adjust the horizontal position of the image.

    Increasing or decreasing the horizontal value will move the image left or right. When it is centered properly, you can exit the monitors.

  • Satellite Pro U200: Display Resolution changed to 1024 x 768, after sleep (Vista)

    I have some problems with my Satellite Pro U200 (WinVista, BIOS 3.50, Display Driver 7.14.10.1217).

    After the exit mode standby, the display shows the correct resoluion of 1280 x 800 for a second and then goes to 1024 x 768. It's very annoying.

    I tried to uninstall / reinstall the display driver, but it did not help.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Well, I remember a similar problem happened on U200 with Windows XP and Windows XP MCE.
    The update of the graphics to the version 6.14.10.4543 driver has solved this strange switching

    Maybe the next update of the graphics card driver will clear this issue
