White screen gone at startup - Satellite Pro P100

I'm running a Satellite P100 and have recently been see strange behavior.

When I restart, the screen remains completely black until windows xp has fully loaded up. This makes life very difficult for me at the moment because I am trying to reinstall windows by booting with the CD in the drive, and it does not seem possible to see what happens if I can't see what I'm doing.

Could someone suggest why the screen would display nothing when starting, but they display correctly when windows has finished loading? Is this a known issue?

Thank you

Can you please connect the external monitor to your laptop and try to start it again?
Please post the results.

Have you used external display last days?

I'm really confused you can't see same Toshiba welcome screen and the settings of the BIOS too.

  • Satellite Pro P100 PSPAEE guard screen goes white/black

    I have a Satellite Pro P100-PSPAEE running Vista Ultimate. Recently, the screen started going black and white during the day. It does not seem to be asleep like nothing refreshes the screen. All I can do is hold the power button and restart the laptop. Have tried rash, the compressed air fan and have re - configure the minimum processor power management to 100%. Am still getting the problem everyone else encountered this problem and have you found a solution, I would prefer not to have to open the laptop and play with the heat sink.

    Don't you think that this problem could be related to problems of overheating?
    Eventually it s only a software problem

    So try first update the graphics driver and BIOS!

    One question; have you noticed the same issue using the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

  • Broke the screen on Satellite Pro P100 - 1 1/2 "vertical white line

    Hello
    I have a Satellite Pro P100 which is only 21 months old and have recently acquired a white strip to the bottom of my screen which is located near Center. I looked into the possible solutions for this and followed the instructions carefully to see if it was a software problem which he seems not to be. The only possible solution seems to be to get the screen replaced. I would like to know if there are many of you who have had this same problem because I'm disgusted that I need to get this replaced so early in his life.

    I don't even use my phone as a laptop (IE it transport etc.) it is simply sitting on my desk at home. I just checked my warranty and apparently it was submitted only for 12 months! Just my luck!

    If anyone has any suggestions on how to best to argue my case with Toshiba in get this replaced for free then the answers are welcome.

    See you soon,.

    > Only possible solution seems to be to get the screen replaced

    Either it's a display or the fault of the graphics card!
    You can try to connect the external monitor to test if the same would appear on the second monitor.
    If the question seems not on the external monitor then it s not a graphics card issue but possible display of the laptop problem.
    In this case, the authorized service provider should be able to provide more details and how to fix it.

  • Satellite Pro P100-327 no visual don't screen the bios startup

    Hi guys,.

    I have a problem that I think has been there since I upgraded my Satellite Pro P100-327 XP to vista Business.
    At the start, I have more no Visual on the screen until I see the windows logo. Computer works fine otherwise.

    Now a year and a half later I want to load Windows 7 and I can't see the bios screen. F12, F2 or esc. do not help me even if the computer does not stall but I do not see on the screen. I have the latest version of the bios and the nvidia drivers as far as I know.

    The only thing that I did not understand everything is the 'value added package' I think it's the small "HW" program, I downloaded the latest version and clicked on load HW in the control panel. Windows has asked if I wanted to go forward and I saw nothing else after that.

    thaks a lot if anyone can help

    Hello

    For me, this looks like a problem of monitor settings but I don't know m.
    You are using an external monitor or have you changed the monitoring (from simple to double mode) mode?

    In your case, I could connect an external monitor and see what happens. Have you noticed the same problem on external monitor?

    In the worst case, there is something wrong with the internal display, but this should be verified by a technician of the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro P100-188: screen keeps blinking on and off at random intervals tension

    If anyone can help me with my computer so please PLEASE publish it because I have no idea of what is happening to her.

    I just bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 - 188 Dual Core and I'm having a problem with it. Sometimes (not all the time) if the computer is plugged in or not, the screen flashes and repeatedly and then will slow down and its suspicious home.

    I have no idea what's wrong with it, I sent it to the store where I bought to be fixed and they just he sent to me, but the problem persisted. They say they have done tests on the machine and can't find anything wrong with it, but if that were the case, then it only would not have messed up again.

    What is just a software problem? The screen seems to flicker on and off at intervals irregular or not I'm in the middle of using it or not. All the drivers are the latest drivers and I admit now that I'm at my wits end.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    Hello

    This seems very odd. However, you posted that this problem happens sometimes and not all the time.
    In my opinion I n t think that the software could be responsible for this issue.
    Perhaps one loses the connection cable? But believe me; It's not easy to say what's wrong without diagnostic tests.
    You have suggested that you have sent the unit to the store.

    I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Technicians must check the laptop.

  • Satellite Pro P100 - screen and sound problems after upgrade to Windows 7

    Hi all

    I got my Satellite Pro P100 (model number is PSPAEE-00C006EN and the second digit of the serial number is '7') upgraded from Vista to Windows 7, and since then, some bugs seem to have had place - can someone help me on the following:

    -L' screen DIMS increments, irrespective of the fact that I have saved my power settings to stay on FULL (battery or sector)

    -No sound. Once or twice, the sound card worked and settings to say this works correctly (and you can see the movement of the graphic equalizer).
    In terms of PC knowledge, I would be 5/10 (so not a dummy, but certainly not a pro! and we tried a lot of the more obvious things)

    Thank you all

    Hello

    1.) if the screen dim option doesn't properly work, I recommend you to reinstall Toshiba Value added Package. This package controls these functions, the keys FN and others. Visit the Toshiba page for an update!

    2.) did you check if the sound is muted if the equalizer work? In addition you can also try to update the audio driver might it work ;)

  • Behavior strange screen/video Satellite Pro P100-109

    I have a strange problem with my Satellite Pro (P100-109 model pspa3e 00n009du). I edge video card printing is letting me down, so if anyone has a solution so please help!

    Yesterday, while working properly since I bought the machine, I had a strange video behavior. Black icon arround windows not updated correctly etc.
    After a restart of the system, these problems seemed resolved, but it lasted just a view minutes.
    After awhile, I got a blue screen (BCCode: ea BCP1...) BCP4:00000001 SP: 2.0) learned Internet research that his had to do with the video driver.

    Symptoms of the display:
    -Vertical dotted lines shown on the screen of the bios toshiba (variety of colors)
    -Loading of Windows show a few vertical lines as well
    -After loading the clickable elements appear black (not titles of window - no buttons shown/rendering)
    -L' screen goes black every 4 seconds
    -System responds very slowly, but sometimes it seems that it works normally
    -mouse disappears
    -After awhile that I get a black screen, system does not answer more.
    -In windows safe mode (so do not using the nvidia drivers), the display seems to work normally

    DID the next trying to solve my problem in vain:

    -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the last on the toshiba site.
    -Deletion of original and installed drivers drivers Guru3D site (also used the Driverutility from the same site).
    -J' I uninstalled/removed the nvidia drivers and installed the original
    -Upgrade to SP3

    Uninstalling the driver (in safe mode) and so to use a generic driver only seem to work.

    Anyone know how this can be resolved or are these signs that the nVidia GeForce Go 7900 has been roasted.

    Hello

    Long story. short answer...

    It is really possible that your GPU chip malfunctions.

    I came to this conclusion because the laptop don t symptoms occur if the graphics driver is not installed.
    If the graphics card driver is installed the graphics card would go with the best performance and possibly graph questions would appear once again.

    I think that you can't do anything to what might solve this problem outside to contact the ASP in your country and ask for help.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro P100-124 starts upward, but nothing on the screen

    Hello world

    I'm a newbie here & laptop but my companion got a satellite Pro P100 (Toshiba Satellite Pro P100-124 PSPA4E-001001EN) & it is my asked for help. Here's the problem:

    Laptop starts to go through the procedure of starting with lights coming and cd player starts to work the rotation of fans, but nothing shows up on the screen

    I said it could be the graphics card but could do with a starting point, I'm PC savvy but on the desktop, it's my first attempt at a portable computer so please be nice...

    Hello

    Have you tried this thing?

    ->, remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the portable computer
    -> waiting for ~ 30 min 1 h
    -> connect the two parts again and try to turn on the device

    If this will not help, then it would mean that a hardware problem serious causes this problem and you will need to contact a Toshiba ASP technician to know exactly what s wrogn.

  • Blue boxes and Bluescreens when you feed up to Satellite Pro P100-438

    Hello

    I own a Pro Satellite P-100-438 (PSPAHE - 001001GR). Yesterday, I tried to start a game, and shortly after, he froze, showed strange bluish rectangles and then a screen blue, followed by a reset.

    Then the screen was full of blue shaded boxes in the nature of a grid as a layer of perfect finish. Even the start screen "Toshiba - contact tomorrow" has this box-grid layer.
    From the login screen Vistas should appear, there is an another bluescreen: 0 x 00000050 Page Fault In Non-Paged area.

    Now, I can only start the computer in safe mode.

    I tried to restore the last configuration of windows work but that did not help. I tried to remove the display so drivers and fiddled with the parameter of startup in msconfig and at one point, I was actually able to get Vista running as usual without the blue boxes, but after awhile, I got another blue screen and since then, they have remained.

    Sometimes, there is an another screenshot as well: 0 x 00000116. nvlddmkm.sys - address 8C8149A0 base at 8 808000, DateStamp 4a9cdd24

    And he said something 'Attempt to reset display driver and recover timeout failed.' as well.

    Hi again,

    last night I checked if the problem might be related to overheating. But now I think that's not the problem. I removed some dust, but it wasn't really much. Accidents still happen.

    Regarding the graphics bugs: this is the kind of a grid of blue boxes. But this isn't a perfect grid. Only a grid on the screen. I have a photo I will upload tomorrow. When I move the windows under the grate, it stays in place. Everything as it was somehow in the surface of the screen.

    Maybe if the graphics card is broken? It is not the RAM. I removed one at a time, and it is not related to it.

    Somehow check whether the graphics card? It's a Geforce Go 7900 GS.

    The laptop is a Satellite Pro P100-438 (PSPAHE - 001001GR).

    If I bought a replacement graphics card, might be able to buy a better? They're much cheaper than three years ago. Or which would mean too much consumption and amount of heat energy?

    What are the cards would work?

    Best regards

    Daniel

  • Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) crashed and Linux does not load

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro P100 - 11(d) which have worked well since 2007 both with preinstalled Windows and Ubuntu last.

    But... Yesterday, Firefox crashes, I thought, but after the restart it was not able to load Ubuntu desktop, comes from a command prompt.

    I tried to reinstall the driver and xserver with no luck.
    Tried to reinstall Ubuntu together, but it stops while loading of Ubuntu live.

    Thought maybe, a hard drive crash so I want to wipe the entire hard drive and so reinstalled Windows, which wouldn't load after installation. Changed the hard drive to a WD250GB, but always the same - stop loading live Ubuntu and Debian and Meego...

    Has a verified memory from the live USB of Ubuntu (before loading Ubuntu), no errors.
    I have an idea that maybe the graphics, but it has no errors or defects to display install screens - graphics.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Oh, I had Ubuntu while loading, try checking the hard drive and what makes some mistakes, why I thought it might be a hard drive problem.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    What about another system? Windows?
    Can you start and install Windows system using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say what has caused this problem
    It may be related to no hardware, a part even if the HARD drive or memory error was not detected, one of these parties may malfunction
    Worst case its something wrong with the motherboard but it s only a hypothesis.

  • Satellite Pro P100: losing picture on external monitor when using the DVI - D connection

    Guys,

    I have a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW LCD TV and a Satellite Pro P100 (Geforce Go 7600), recently I bought a DVI - D cable to link them together.

    Now the problem is that when I connected to 1400 x 900 LCD TV screen goes to a black screen several times (usually when there is a lot of activity or I'm resizing windows to the maximum to the minimum).

    Now, I would have thought it would be the LCD TV doesn't do not signal or refresh rate however I connected using a VGA cable and its fine - no problem just no matter how much I minimize my windows or put a lot of activity on the screen. To complicate matters even more, when I run the screens in "Dual screen" mode instead of "Clone" if I put one of them 1400 x 900 to 59hz in 16 bit it works fine...?

    Can someone help please that it made my head that I can't understand what the hell is the cause!

    I've included a list below all the different resolutions / screen modes I tried it and the result.

    Thanks for your time & help.

    Hello

    I hope that you have enabled user s manual supplied with your device. On page 148, you will find a very interesting picture on the supported display resolution.

    I have to be honest with you and say that I am no expert DVI because my LCD doesn't have this port, just HDMI but if I have understood you as soon as you have problem with a resolution of 1440 x 900 only. This resolution is not listed as supported, and I presume that it is not unusual to have a problem.

    Sorry, but I think that you should use maximum supported only resolution 1280 x 1024.

  • Satellite Pro P100: remote control does not not-> error ' cannot be read handle. ".

    Hello

    My Satellite Pro P100 began to show the error "Failed to read handle." at startup. I found a related post and removed from the area of registry Toshibarc.exe control startup programs. This does not prevent the pop-up dialog box, but now my remote does not work.

    Does anyone know if toshibarc.exe must run for the remote control work? And if so, how do I fix the error in the program (rather than simply removing from the register). Could this be a hardware problem?

    If I try to manually run the C:\WINDOWS\SMSC\CIRHID\V1_0_0000_0\toshibarc.exe, I get the same popup "Impossible to get read handle.".

    Thanks for any help or ideas
    Steve

    After a long period of investigation in the internet and visit many Web sites, I discovered that the ToshibaRC.exe file belongs to the Remote Application from Toshiba. It seems that the file is required to use the remote on the laptop...
    But I can't give you a reason why it causes an error.

  • Activation of keypad on the Satellite Pro P100

    I just got my laptop new Satellite pro P100 and cannot find how to set the number pad (integrated) to be enabled at power on.
    I checked in the Setup, the Toshiba HW setup... nothing

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Thanking you in advance

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no sense for me to have 'num-lock' enabled at startup on all laptops.
    As you know, all the keys the keypad uses are shared with the regular alpha keys. In order to avoid interpretation of the wrong password (on a reduced keyboard set), the "Numlock at startup" function has not been implemented in most (all?) notebook BIOS.

    You can hold the key while you tap on the "blue pad", but that's all you can get without activate "num lock" with the +.

    If you have an attached external keyboard, very probably the num-lock on the extra cushion will be "on" by default. Otherwise, if you do a lot of the use of the numbers, you can get a num - pad usb to your laptop. There are quite expensive "toshiba-made" on e - bay ;)
