White screen on model Equium M50-216 SM57E problem

I'm having a strange problem with the computer screen... Start-up of the laptop... against the cold, the Toshiba logo flickers then the windows logo then flashes black... However, the screen is still backlit... The laptop works perfectly apart from that. I can connect to external monitors and it works very well, but here's the weird thing...

I connected on three different monitors it works in 2 4:3 monitors. It does not work in my wide screen... when he starts the Toshiba logo comes up then the windows logo then just prior to the Welcome screen of windows (that blue thing at the beginning) the monitor says no signal.

After a while the display on the laptop will appear and be fine until I stopped it (usually, sometimes the screen off, and without touching it's back in a minute).

The white screen comes generally from when the laptop is started after being off for a while; For example, suppose that during the night... I simply closed the lid last night, and no do not stop correctly then when I opened it this morning the screen worked perfectly. There is no other display weirdness... bad pixels, lines, anomalies of any other nature.

I recently reinstalled everything and the problem is still there. Please say it is (Hey! the screen comes back) a driver problem or something as simple

Help with this (or even a suggestion) would be greatly appreciated
See you soon
Dave

PS: everything works fine apart from this.

Hi mate

The story sounds very mysterious and my first thought is that it might be an unwanted material.

But usually it of not easy to provide a diagnosis exactly and we should first check if the software doesn't cause questions!

So first of all, it would be interesting to know if the same thing happens on laptop retrieved fresh. Using the recovery CD, you would get the factory settings!

A BIOS and update the graphics driver are the following options!

So check it out and let me know the results

See you soon

    Hi my Equium M50-216 has lines across the screen and low who go up and down the screen.
    There is no picture it s just white.

    If I plug it into an external monitor I get a fine display on the monitor is so the screen is defective or something else?
    I think that the inverter is ok because it of bright and not dull.

    See you soon

    I agree with Luke.

    If the image on the external monitor is ok then the graphics card should be ok.
    If an FL inverter would be defective then everything would be visible, but just a little more dark and as behind a fog

    In your case, it looks like a display problem

  • Equium M50-216: cannot save or use the microphone or "phone entries

    I have an Equium M50-216, with 1 GB of RAM & Centrino 1.7 GHz processor, running XP Home.

    Without apparent reason, I am suddenly unable to use my SKYPE USB ' phone to talk. Audio output is perfect, however.

    I also tried my helmet using the jack on the front of the laptop, with the same result.

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver for the sound card, which is a Realtek AC97. I tried the test equipment of Windows, but there is no evidence of entry he built in sound recorder, audio, or in windows.
    The device driver is properly enabled and reported no problems.

    Is it a hardware problem - as it seems card works OK for output?
    Is it a Windows problem - I can achieve a reformatting the drive & re-install of XP soon - it would help?

    Hello

    As far as I understand your problem, you are not able to use the external microphone. Am I wrong?
    You mean that it's a hardware problem, hmmm I n t think so.
    To me, it looks like a wrong setting

    Please check if the microphone is activated. This should be verified in the--> sound & audio devices Control Panel.
    On the volume tab, press the Advanced button.

    In the options settings, you can switch between the playback volume controls & record.
    Please check everything!

  • Screen on my Equium M50 problem

    Hello

    new here so please bear with me.

    I have an Equium M50, recently the screen has gradually turned white, then move you the angle and it goes back normal tro, this wasent a major problem, BUT it's not all white. IM guessig its probably a cable issue, but uncertain and help or advice would be appreciatted and wouldn't be a repair I could finish?

    Mark

    Hello

    It s not easy to say if he e only one loses the cable or a serious hardware problem.
    I don t think you have enough experience and tools to solve this problem yourself.

    I mean that you need to check if the Fl inverter is ok and that the laptop computer s screen is not affected. How do check you this?

    In my opinion it s advisable to ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.
    Therefore, it would be advisable to contact the ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.

  • Equium M50-216 - Question about the new facility

    Hello

    Recently rescued a laptop Equium M50 of my flat mate. Was a little out of adjustment. She said that I might have as could not get on the internet and it seems to be missing some vital files.

    Managed to get the wireless working again and little removed from the trash which was on it, but there are larger issues for example. Whatever it is USB I plug it will not install as there are no drivers on the HARD drive.

    I think that it probably needs to be formatted and have Windows XP Home Edition reinstalled but I did not all discs for her and do not want to spend hundreds of new software to purchase for it. Please let me know what are my best options.

    Best regards

    Ed

    > have Windows XP Home Edition reinstalled, but I did not all discs for her
    That s confusing you reinstalled Windows XP, but why you need the laptop drives? I mean if Windows XP is already reinstalled you can start with the installation of the driver. Everything can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba:

    Your laptop is an older model so you should look for in * Archives *.

  • Replacing the drive HARD on Equium M50-216

    Hello

    I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive in my M50-216, which currently has a MK4026GAX. The player that I am most interested is the MK8032GAX. Is this a suitable replacement, that is going to work?

    A few questions:

    1. I guess it's just a case of withdrawal of the current drive, mortising the new one and start using my Toshiba restore CD? This will reinstall the Norton junk as well?

    2. assuming I have remove the current without shape, i.e. I leave it as it is, I suppose that if I find the new drive does not work I'll be able to put the former back in and it will start like nothing happened? I'm not changing any other material.

    3. it will work as a trolley suitable for the old disk: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=414030

    4. the most important question will be affecting my current standard warranty, or assign an extension of warranty if I choose to buy a more this year?

    Thank you
    Baillie

    Old disk HARD 40 GB MK4026GAX

    The BIOS should recognize up to 100 GB HARD drive

    1.) Yes it should market. Also, it should be possible to install Norton ghost image files
    2.) Yes, it should be possible to put the old HDD and start the laptop.
    (3.) if the new HARD drive supports the IDE interface, it should be possible to use it in the external USB case
    4.) No, the upgrade of the HARD drive should t has no effect on the guarantee

  • Equium M50-164 - Touchpad problem if an AC/DC adapter is connected

    Hello

    Can anyone help? My Toshiba Equium M50-164 has intermittent problems with the touchpad. Sometimes its fine, sometimes the cursor will jump around the screen, out of control, then comes oneself, the problem goes away when I remove the power cable and returns when it is reconnected.

    Other times it is fine with the power cable plugged, it suggests maybe the power supply causing a problem for me, but I was hoping that someone with more experience could give me some advice.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    You are using an original from Toshiba AC adapter or to a 3rd party manufacturing?

    It's not easy to say what the reason is, it could be a problem of AC adapter or motherboard.
    I think the best way is to contact you nearest authorized service provider. Go to them with the laptop and the AC adapter and ask a technician for help. They can check the laptop and the material.

    Good luck! :)

  • Equium M50-192 - startup problem

    I have a recently purchased EQUIUM M50-192 who developed a problem starting, a week after the purchase. To try to put the following happens
    Press the button power
    Turn on the light appears
    H/D light access appears
    CD-ROM flashes twice
    Then cut the power

    It passes through this sequence also if I open the lid, which suggests that the pc is in standby, IE opening the lid starts above sequence, as if you press the power button / stop.

    The same happens to a power supply (shows, seeing attatched and battery charge indicator) or only to batteries, also tried with battery but running.
    Have tried boot boot from CD via the F12 key and power at the same time but no luck with that, as mentioned above, I think the computer think it is somehow sleep and does not need to access the restore normal startup sequence. Can't find anything in the documentation re this implies a fault. Currently may not resume as collateral as abroad with out the paperwork he's come up with, for the next 6 weeks.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, have you tried to remove the battery and then put back? Is also the adapter work correctly is the status light indicate a complete change?
    If you still not the laptop so that it starts then you don't have much choice but to the send it to Toshiba for investigation.

  • Equium M50-216 - need info on the login screen

    I had no problem with the system before, but a week ago I started to experience display problems.

    Basically, the display freezes sometimes or behaves strangely - cutting, interference, etc. This is related to move the screen - fiddling with it puts things right.

    My guess is that it is nothing more serious that a connection cable loose somewhere - because the problem does not spontaneously, but can be triggered if I move on the screen, open or close a little.

    Is there a simple way to get access to the cable connecting the Billboard of the graphics card (?)?

    Thank you very much

    Did you experience M50 laptop?
    I guess you don t have because you ask here in the forum. In this case you n t know exactly how do to disassemble the laptop and it is not very easy and very delicate!
    Using an order wrong can damage certain parts in the worst case that the display will not work.

    The warranty is valid? If yes then you shouldn't t try to disassemble the laptop by yourself, as this would negate the warranty.

    In addition, you are not 100% sure that the loose cable connection causes this problem. You guess that and in my opinion it s not enough to perform the disassembly laptop!

    I'll give you good advice; Contact a specialist of the laptop!

    In this case, you are on the right side

  • White screen on my Equium L10-300

    Hi all

    New on this site but I was wondering if someone can help me. I have an Equium L10-300 and the screen seems to start going white corners in until it becomes white. I found that by pushing on the top of the screen is the only why return to normal.

    This means that the screen is broken and it needs to be replaced completely or is it caused by another party? Anyone who can shed some light on this problem would be greatly appreciated.

    * coop thank you *.

    For me, it is definitely hardware problem. It may appear or may display cable (maybe some crack on cable or bad connection). Sorry, but I don't think there is something you can do alone. I recommend you contact the service.

    They allow to check the view feature.
