White screen after switching on the satellite A210-171

Today when I turn on my laptop, the screen remained blank?
I checked used - Sockets and connections etc but still nothing has changed.

I even closed my laptop to give him a chance to cool, even if I new that this was not the case because it had not been used since yesterday...

I was confused, so I phone my granddaughter who said * ' update turned off the laptop, unplug it and remove the battery then replace again - this should put it right! *

What I did and IT WORKED!

Question - what could have caused this make * and * I made the right choice?

Hi Grandma Sue

Yes, you did everything right!
I have no idea why the display didn't come in the first step, but it seems that your granddaughter has some experience with laptops.

It would also be my advice to the remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop. After a short period of time, you could connect the two parties and could power the laptop.

What you did and it helped

That s OK

  • Where to find maintenance manual to disassemble the satellite A210-171

    Hi guys.

    I'll have a bit of a dilemma with my computer laptop satellite A210-171.
    The CPU fan plays up and I need to replace.

    The problem is that I'm unable to strip this thing down.
    I already have some small studs plastic broken on the Strip above the keyboard, and I now know exactly how to remove the touchpad and the cover.

    I use the FRU guide for satellite A210 claiming to also apply to the satellite a210 series, but many of the screws indicated in the guide are not on this laptop.
    The position of some components also differ.

    I'm not familiar with working with computers and their components, but when it comes to laptops, I feel very uncomfortable when something does not move and I don't see why.

    If someone could direct me to the right guide FRU for my model or ome other material of appropriate reference, I would be very grateful.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Unfortunately, maintenance manuals don't are not downloadable did not find all pages that provide these manuals only manuals that are also pre-installed on Toshiba laptops can be downloaded.
    But as far as I know Satellite A210 is the same as Equium A210 so the two series are not very different.

  • White screen on startup of the satellite C850

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite C850 PSCBWA-05E001 so 18 months out of warranty now.
    I bought it for a few friends, I gave him to who are in the Philippines, so it is difficult for me to check and repair. My friends lack the funds to get it checked if any help would be appreciated.

    Some days he started to initiate a white screen. You can see the mouse, but that's all. They are unable to get the computer display anything. I read on several forums that it could be a video cable however I got them to hooked to an external monitor to work through the laptop's VGA output & restarted the laptop & the external monitor goes to white screen which are also seems to exclude a faulty video cable as this would affect the monitor to the laptop only I think.

    I'm concerned that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Very disappointed for my friends since the machine is just out of warranty.
    Someone at - it ideas?

    > I am afraid that does not the video card is a graphics chip of integregrated I guess that means to replace the whole motherboard I guess.

    Yes, I have fear of the motherboard must be replaced in case of malfunction of the graphics card of m.
    It would be the worst cases because the new motherboard is very expensive and in most cases it s not worth buying a new motherboard if isn t valid warranty more.

    I have no many solutions for you; It looks like a hardware problem and to resolve this problem, replace the defective part. But of course, it of a just a question of money :(

    I had a virus, could not even open in safe mode, had a tech working on the computer so I could connect.  After that, I tried again and reload Windows XP from CD.  All right, 9 discs to and forward to the end.  Now, the computer starts but stops with a black and white screen.

    Ideas?

    Hello

    1. don't you get the beep when you press the power button?
    2. installation launched successfully?
    3. do you get the BIOS screen?
     
    Method 1.
    I suggest to unplug all external devices such as printers, scanners, etc. of the system and then try to boot to the desktop and check.
     
    Method 2.
    Also I ask you to set the BIOS on default and check parameters. You can contact the manufacturer of the computer for these settings.
    Note:
    Change (CMOS) BIOS/complementary metal oxide semiconductor settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS/CMOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
     
    Method 3.

  • Battery discharge also if the Satellite A210-171 is disabled

    Hello

    I have an A210-171, but a small problam with the life of the battery on this subject. (di +-ns recon)

    If I leave the battery for a few days and do not use the laptop. He empty the battery after about 3 days, he died.
    But if I take the battery of the laptop, he holds it loads well.

    Any ideas how to stop it. I looked at the forum and checked that Wake on LAN is not enabled.

    Hmm, I thought that disabling the WOL option (Wake up on Lan) in the BIOS should help stop the discharge automatically

    This is the Toshiba doc that describes this problem:

    [Battery draining 15-20% when it is turned off during the night | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01N50013R01.htm]

    But as far as I know the BIOS contains other wake-up functions. So try disabling it too!

    In addition, you must disable the option "Wake up on LAN" in LAN and WLan card properties!
    You can find this setting in device-> LAN card Properties Manager > Advanced tab

  • White screen after you disable the primary monitor and secondary on Satellite

    Hello

    I tried to connect a LCD screen on my laptop, in the first place, I went to the Panneau--affichage--controle--avancees--controler--proprietes--device use settings: disable!

    This allowed secondary LCD screen but the most stupid thing, it is that when I wanted to return to the screen of my laptop that I followed the same procedure with the LCD.

    The result is that now the two are empty. Laptop screen turns white as soon as starts to load windows. Combination Fn + F5 didn't help. I also tried to get into windows in safe mode, but it has not been possible.
    Does anyone have any ideas?

    PLEASE, I BEG YOU.

    Thank you

    During startup in safe mode, the laptop charge only a current drivers and it should be able to see something on the screen.
    But if it is not possible and you are not able to deliver internal display on the screen, then I guess you need to start form the recovery CD and reinstall the OS :(

    The new facility is scheduled to replace all the display settings and the laptop should work.

  • Satellite L350 - white screen after switching on

    * HELP *.

    Just bought this weekend, stood it all together and everything worked fine. Everything off and then came back a few hours later powered on and now impossible to get anything on the screen at all, totally black.

    I tried the FN + F5 and it does nothing. Any thoughts?

    I'm a total novice so take that into account when they meet. Thank you very much.

    Hey

    You see an image on the external monitor? Perhaps the internal screen FL inverter is faulty and must be replaced

    If an image on the external monitor, you can see t too it appears to be a malfunction of the equipment. You must go to an authorized service provider and ask for help. Technicians can check the laptop for you.

  • Lack of screen after disassembly of the Satellite X 205 - s9349

    Well heres so what happened. My laptop was running very hot, so we took it apart and cleaned all the dust. Then, we put "artic silver 5" on the CPU and the gpu. When we got it all back together, the monitor had a tinge of purple to it.

    When we have shaken the monitor cable, the colour would change other colors like Blue tint and other shades.
    I took in this type of computer repair and it did something for her and now it looks like this:

    http://img294.imageshack.us/img294/9662/MonitorL.jpg

    I don't know what he was doing.
    Need help fixing. Thank you in advance,

    This type of repair is allowed for the Toshiba laptop repair?

    At first, I must say that laptop disassembly is not for everyone and it will be done by authorized personnel only. They do this maintenance manual step by step following with the exact description how to do this. Thermal compound/grease is not the same for all models of laptops and quantity used is also not the same. So what you did was very risky and now you have the problem. Who knows what's wrong there. In the worst cases, the graphics card is dead.

    Have you tried testing with external monitor? Please, do it and post the result.

  • Satellite A210-171 cannot find the printer wireless

    I have very recently the satellite A210-171 and I am trying to connect a Lexmark x 4580 wireless printer. I installed the disc from the printer and everything is fine but when I come to print wireless computer can't find the printer.

    I have to do something for the computer other than the installation of the disk of the printer.

    Any help would be good.

    Is your wireless network setup correctly? I mean is your wireless laptop printer and your router configured properly and that you have a connection to the internet router trough wireless?

    Please give a better description that you have, if you have a wireless network with a router etc... and how is your configuration if your network is configured with dynamic IP addresses etc...

  • Satellite P300 - white screen after waking from sleep state

    I'm having this problem:
    The LCD screen may be empty when the computer is "awakened" from the sleep state. Nothing is visible on the internal LCD or an external monitor.

    There seems to be a solution:
    An update of the firmware for a component in the main circuit of the computer solves this problem. This update must be performed by an authorized Toshiba (ASP) Service provider. Until arrangements are made for the update, restart the computer by pressing the power on button for a few seconds.

    If you check the Toshiba document you would see that your Satellite P300 is not related to this issue.

    In your case I would recommend upgrading the BIOS and graphics driver.
    In addition to keep your operating system up-to-date.

    I had this problem under Win XP and a MS patch and an update of the graphics card driver helped solve this problem.

  • Sansa Fuze stuck on the white screen after disconnecting.

    Once I unplugged my Sansa Fuze on my PS3, it got stuck on a white screen. None of the buttons worked and I couldn't turn it off. I decided that the only thing I could do was to let the battery die and charge it again. Finally, he died and I plugged it in, it loads to full is the same thing. So I tried again, except I only left it plugged in for a while and disconnected. My music has arisen and it seems to work, but it stops immediately by the lack of power. Now no matter what I have plug in, it lights at all. I connected it to my computer and installed the drivers for it, but the rocket itself did not come, and the computer says it has malfunctioned and pilots have not been recognized. So now I can't listen to my music or anything like that. Help?

    Drag the spring-loaded power switch in the highest position for 20-30 seconds. (note that in extreme cases it can sometimes it may take a minute). Release and see if it boots normally.

    Hi, after that I tried to load either a new or existing project into Adobe first Elements 9 I just get a grey white screen with any of the timeline, boxes etc. on the view. It happened suddenly, one day OK then not! At the top of the screen, I get the normal icon of pre, File, Edit, Clip, etc..

    I intend to have bought the first 13 items, it would be better if I bought a new program instead of downloading an upgrade, just in case the upgrade does not correctly load because of the error with my current program?

    If I have the deleted first Elements 9 on my PC would I lose all my existing videos that have been produced using Prime Elements 9 or would they be registered so that they can still be worked in first 13 items?

    First elements 13 works with Windows 7?

    Thank you

    Terry

    First 13 elements absolutely works with Windows 7!

    In fact, I highly recommend you download the free trial version and give it a test run.

    In the meantime, go to Windows Update and make sure you have all the updates of Windows, including those who do not automatically install it. Then go to the website of ATI / nVidia and ensure that you have the latest driver for your graphics card and go to Apple.com and ensure you have the latest version of Quicktime, by the requirements of the program.

  • How do I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210

    How can I uninstall the program "Utilities" since the Satellite A210. In Control Panel I can uninstall the program "Value Package" but not "utilities".

    With the A210 I can't work with the FN keys and on a German Toshiba support website I found this information:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB0402UR0000R01DE.htm

    So I'll try this installation sequence:

    -Chipset utility
    -Display driver
    -Toshiba value added package V1.2.40
    -Technical support utility Flash Cards for Satellite L500 (see this thread, why I want to do):
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46135&TSTART=7
    -V1.0.25.5C Toshiba-Utilities
    and no doubt
    -Installation of V2.00.09 equipment

    I hope that the FN keys will work after this installation sequence.
