White screen on Satellite M115

I have a laptop Satellite M115 with 5122 Mb of RAM and 80 GB of HD. I bought it in October 2006.
The screen started to go white with white horizontal lines at the start.

I turned off and swithced on and it was working fine. It was in November 2006.
It happened 6 - 7 times in a period of 4 months, I thought it was a software problem.

So I formatted the system and the problem did not repeat itself.
But in August 2007, the problem started again.
I reported it to TOshiba and was then out of country.

I came back in November 2007 and was again out of country.
The display is now completely empty with a separator.

It works very well with an external monitor.
Help, please.

> But this problem has been with all Toshiba Satellite M115 series?
I really don't understand how you came to it. Is that a question or maybe you have some info on a similar question on other Satellite M115 models?

  • White screen on Satellite Pro L300D

    The screen on my L300D is not empty, no idea why, I tried using another monitor and its blank again.

    1. is the screen fucked?
    2 or... would it be the graphics card?

    Need help as its working well for 5 years passed, and I can't afford to replace it. I have been informed that a new motherboard could cost NZ$ 600 more work, so its more viable to replace if that is the case.

    > The screen on my L300D went not empty, no idea why, I tried using another monitor and its blank again.
    It is very suspicious, and it is possible that this graphics card died. It's the worst case scenario, and in this case the motherboard needs to be replaced. Problem is that new motherboard is very expensive and best solution for you is to buy the new laptop.

    One last thing: start the laptop computer you hear sounds and y at - it a white screen of reaction exept?

    My Satellite 1110 is great until last night. I updated my Norton Antivirus and ran a scan. When she had finished I turned it off. Today, when he starts towards the top of the screen is totally blank. I can tell by the lights and the noise that the HD and everything is up and running, but the screen is blank. Can anyone help?

    No idea about the person on the phone to Toshiba for help?

  • White screen on Satellite Pro L30-101

    Hello

    I have a Pro Satellite L30-101 and the screen is blank. I got a new inverter, but it did not work. I activated the screen from another laptop the converter and the backlight is ok and I could see my office windows.

    I think so that either the cable is broke just the inverter cables (rest of the perfect screen) or that I do not get the tension you want the motherboard.

    So I have 2 questions.

    1. is there a schematic for the cable pinout, so that I can check the continuity (without blindly do)
    2. what pins and tension on the internal video connector the UPS is connected to

  • White screen on Satellite M40-129 with no BIOS access

    OK, I really tried a lot of things to find out what it may be.
    When I start the laptop it seems to start, but the rest black screen (AC + Power lights up, but no disk HARD-light).
    I tried several times, even with ESC + on and F2 + now and 50 only once I could see the splash screen.
    He was there for several minutes and nothing happened. So I decided to try it again... and Im yet to try.

    Support told me there is a problem with the bios, but since I can't access what it is, I can't update the bios.
    I tried with an external monitor, with or without battery, with and without the HARD drive (bios must be accessible without).
    Always with the same result.
    And as these things always happen after the expiration of the warranty.

    The hardware seems to work (ok once a lot) and for strange behavior, I wonder if anyone had a similar experience or has a tip for me.

    One of my friends has Satellite M40 and it's very nice for laptop. If possible try to connect your laptop to external monitor and just turn it on. It will be interesting to know if it works or not. If so, I assume that the display is faulty.

  • White screen on Satellite M35

    On my M35 initially bought in the United States (now in the UK) about 4 years ago the sreen instantly happened almost empty, we can barely distinguish the password otherwise nothing box

    Any ideas? help please

    Thank you

    Hello Colin

    If you want you can test it with an external monitor to see if the display is faulty. If you use the computer laptop and external monitor is the best proof that your computer laptop Satellite a defective display or FL inverter.

    Contact nearest authorized service partner to the United Kingdom and they can help you.

  • Satellite C855 - white screen after BIOS update

    Hello

    I am a beginner user,
    I have Satellite C855
    Yesterday, I downloaded a 'update BIOS"that was sent to my computer.
    Since that my screen is blank, there is a hum in the background.

    I have a recovery back up on my external hard drive, but of course, the screen is blank so I don't know how the product.

    I think I must have downloaded a model or the update was not compatible.

    Hello

    White screen do you mean that nothing appears on the screen?
    You see the start screen of Toshiba, or if you are able to access the BIOS?

    Where this is not possible, try this:
    Disconnect the power adapter, remove the battery.
    Press and hold the power button for about 30 seconds.
    Then connect the two parts (batteries and AC adapter) for the laptop and try to turn on the unit.

    In case this would not solve the problem of the laptop, I'm scared of m the BIOS update was not completed successfully and I think that only authorized Toshiba service provider would be able to help you.

  • White screen on my Satellite A300

    Hi all

    My laptop Satellite A300 has suddenly stopped with a white screen, but I did not understand everything that I have done is force shutdown and restart again.

    It is not easy to say what was wrong there.
    You can now use your laptop without problem or this problem occurs again and again?

  • Satellite A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

    When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
    After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

    There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
    Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

    Any suggestions?

    PS:

    also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

    Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
    Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
    In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

  • White screen and beeps when turn on Satellite 3000 X 11

    Can anyone help? A couple of times in recent weeks my Satellite 3000 X 11 itself has turned off. However, it then displays a white screen when I turn it on and 3 beeps followed by 3 beeps of x x. The power led & battery lights on and the hard drive flashes once - fan does not work - it happened to someone else? Or can someone suggust cause and remedy? Thank you
    Tim

    HI Edward,.

    Beep codes are indications that the unit doesn't have his POST processing. The exact cause can only be diagnosed by a qualified Toshiba service agent.

    In regards to your hard drive, will find it this located below your optical drive that must be removed first. Remove the screw (F5) the appliance and slide the optical drive before that. You will then be able to access the hard disk.

    Kind regards

  • 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 :(

  • White screen satellite C650 - no Boot Up

    Satellite C650 - no Boot Up - white screen

    This laptop is just over 1 year.

    Laptop screen suddenly went white, he is stopped even if the battery was half full.

    It will charge is no longer and the charging light does not illuminate.

    Does not respond when you press the power button, even using from the mains.

    Is it a common problem with this model?

    It is possible to address the question, what are the steps involved in the process?

    Laptop needs spare parts to fix this?

    Thank you.

    > Is it a common problem with this model?
    Certainly not and something like this can happen on every laptop.
    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what problem can be. All of a sudden switch OFF may be related to material high temperature and overheating.
    I put t know how I can you use your laptop on battery power, but I hope you don t use it in the lap or bed and the air vents are not blocked somehow.

    Place the laptop on the desktop and check if the same thing will happen again.

    When the laptop turns off and you leave it for a while, can you restart normally?

  • 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.

    described here: [white screen after awakening from fallback status | http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlView.jsp?soid=1642844&moid=1209152]

    In fact, I think I'm able to solve myself, and I don't like not my laptop to be gone for two weeks or more. I just need some advice on where to find a correct upgrade. Is - this driver BIOS or graphics? Which version should download, where... etcetera. More tips on how to solve the problem are also welcome.

    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.

  • Satellite M70-340 - white screen before windows loads

    I have istalled a new Windows XP on my laptop Satellite M70-340, and after having installed the drivers and the Quick Fix Engineering I restart the laptop...

    The laptop is the auto start and it stopped just before starting the loading (white screen and no disc HARD answer stopped - HDD led lighting-)
    I am able to get into the BIOS and change the boot order.

    I boot from the recovery cd, but it is is stopped with the same blank screen just before his screen should start.
    I boot from the Windows cd, but it is is stopped with the same blank screen just before the blue screen should start.

    I unplugged the battery and pluged in again and the problem continues to be.
    I have restored the defaults in the Bios, but it didn't work.

    Please help me

    You see the Toshiba start screen at the beginning of the boot process?

    I searched this forum for the same problem on M70 but I found nothing didn t.

    But I do remember that one of my friends had a similar question. If the adapter has been unplugged the system locked and the screen is dark.
    It has fixed in powerplay disable in the ATI graphics settings and it didn't put the CPU low speed in Toshiba Power saver mode fixed.

    But like I said this happened only together running the operating system without the AC adapter.
