Why do Satellite A100 screen flashes when turned off?

Hello
I have a toshiba A100, Go 7600 Gpu, just bought there is two weeks and im very pleased with the quality and performance far :), just noticed one thing today, the room was turned off and the laptop turns off with the screen in open position, I leave it open normally when at home, I noticed that the screen flashes as fixed every 1 min in what appears to be an interval of time with or without AC connected, not a flash very bright but not easy to notice, but I'm sure the flash, so my question is should I worry about this? Thanks in advance :)

Hello

What do you mean with the screen? The LCD internal? Maybe you didn t stop the machine itself.

I also suggest you update your bios and your drivers, maybe it s just a software related issue...

Here´s a link to find the bios and latest drivers for your computer:

Give some information about this case, could be interesting, what problem is.

See you soon

  • Satellite A100 - PSAA5U SP2022 sometimes turns off randomly

    Hello

    I have a toshiba Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U-02G00G portable satellite and sometimes turns off the coast at random.
    The battery and charger are OK.

    I saw a bulletin saying a word on an update of the BIOS for A100 series for that matter.

    The problem is: I can't find my model or my BIOS to the toshiba support site.

    Thank you

    Hello

    I put t think that this could be linked to the BIOS
    In my opinion the reason for this problem could be a high temperature.

    You said that the laptop stops automatically?
    Usually, this occurs if the temperature reaches a critical threshold and the laptop stops to prevent the equipment from damage

    In most cases, the vents are clogged and air cannot circulate properly.

    Therefore, it would be desirable to check and clean the ventilation openings with a professional air spray.
    This could help them to get rid of dust and debris.

  • HP 2509 m screen flashes and turns off using a HDMI Cable entry

    I have problems with my new HP2509m monitor. When I connect to my cable box using the HDMI connection the screen image flashes for a few seconds and then goes black for a few seconds and continues to do so. The time interval varies from May 3 to 6 seconds in each phase.

    It's the second monitor I got that this behavior. When I bought my system in October I ordered the 23 "monitor and it worked fine with the HDMI input, but I had trouble with the PC and he traded. The 2509 was introduced at the same time so I decided to share my monitor 23 "to 25", but now I'm regretting this decision. The main reason I bought the extra monitor should have the opportunity to move to the HDMI input for TV viewing, save space in my office.

    I tried the monitor using the same HDMI cable plug into the HDMI from my computer and the light is very good, so it seems to be a problem with the signal from the cable, but everything worked with the 23 "monitor leaving I think there is an issue with tuner HDMI monitor 2509.

    I searched the documentation on the HP site and google search but have found nothing of the sort. Someone has seen this and is there a solution for this? I like to keep the monitor. Thank you.

    Apparently, I was early to the part of the questions of this monitor.

    It turns out that the monitor is not compatible with the decoder I've had. The box is made by the Asian Development Bank and is capable of displaying 1080I content. 1080I is not the issue but because I can use a HDMI to DVI adapter and connect to the monitor and it works OK; It is, so I don't have the computer plugged into the DVI connector as I wanted.

    My cable provider was kind enough to take the monitor and test. They discovered that one of their old version of (amino) cable boxes works very well with the monitor. They swapped the box and it worked well since.

    I use my cable provider HDMI cable, so I don't know the spec version that is.

    My advice to anyone affected by the flashing HDMI display is to get a HDMI/DVI adapter and try it. They are supplied with a certain monitors so that they are fairly easy to find if you know someone who works in a computer SCIENCE Department. If the monitor displays the signal correctly then the question is probably the cable box or as another poster suggested, the cable can be out of spec.

    It is convenient to have the double monitor as a TV. The image quality is superb, but the sound is not. I do not understand why manufacturers monitor for skimping on the speakers. A monitor with its 'premium quality' would be a point of sale, and buyers would be happy to pay for the upgrade. I don't know about a lot of people like me it's simplify - remove the clutter and cables of our offices. HP are you listening?

  • Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off. I have to shut my computer down several times a day to turn off the monitor.

    Light (switch) on my screen does not turn off.  So, I shut down my computer and restart several times a day, because when I put it in mode 'sleep', he wakes to the top in a few minutes and will not fall asleep.  I could put a blanket on my screen when not in use, but I'd rather find a way to make it stay asleep when I tell him.

    Light (switch) had already done once before and I was so worried that once I turned off the monitor that I would never get it new on... a bit short of money here, to buy a new monitor, but the next day, I pressed the power button with an additional downward pressure and I could so he could start working again (able to turn the market monitor).  It was about 3 weeks ago.  Now, the light stays green, unless I stop the whole computer.

    Maybe my main problem is sleep mode, which removes the screen for like 2 minutes and then he wakes up to the top and is so rude when I myself and try to sleep, I just turn off the monitor everytime I put the computer to sleep.

    Now, I can't turn off the monitor, except by turning off the computer.

  • Screen of C850 - 1 H 8 satellite flashes and turns off using SSD and win 8

    Hello, I bought a C850 - 1 H 8 of Ebuyer and I removed the hard drive installed windows 8 on it and installed my SSD, and then a clean installed Windows 7.

    The laptop was working perfectly, and then after a little more than a month, the headphone jack has become defective intermittently. I contacted Toshiba, they picked up the computer laptop, fixed and returned.

    When the returned laptop, I still pulled the hard drive provided with Windows 8 and replaced by my SSD with Windows 7 top.

    The laptop screen started flashing on and outside. So I thought ok, they must have changed the material. Using the SSD even I formatted it and then reinstalled Windows 7.

    I find that contrary to front - that my laptop according to the system information for Windows - is manufactured by LG and not Toshiba.
    I also find that the desktop screen and startup splash turned into a screen LG and not an a Toshiba.

    I contacted Toshiba and they gave me, told me to ask for a replacement from Ebuyer. I was passed between the two companies constantly. Then I took the hard line with Toshiba and said that they have damaged my computer and I want a replacement or I will not buy another Toshiba product.

    I then return a petulant response from Toshiba, actually insinuating that aside from the faulty earphone Jack, it was my fault. Incredible.

    I had not used my new laptop at all really after all of this, because I'm sick of all this. But today I started to use it again, and after some time of use, the screen flashes again. Even after using a new installation of Windows 7 and the clean use of Toshiba Windows 7 64 bit drivers for the right model.

    What can I do?

    See you soon

    + The message was edited summer - subject wire +.

    > When the laptop returned, I still pulled out the hard disk provided with Windows 8 and replaced by my SSD with Windows 7 top.

    It was not good because headphones is part of the motherboard and I think they replaced the motherboard. In such cases, the bulk of the material is changed and do not use the same system pre-installed due to the compatibility of the driver. This can lead to physical problems.

    But the screen flashes at the beginning with 8 win preinstalled?
    Have you seen the LG sign turn on/off the unit after replacing the mobo?

    Maybe service guy (ASP authorized service provider isn't Toshiba but independent company) I forgot to update the DMI and therefore LG sign appears on the screen.
    But in my opinion this should not affect the screen but this should be verified using Toshiba original image (Windows 8)

  • Satellite A100: Screen turns off after a while of no action and cannot be reactivated

    Hi all
    I'm after a bit of advice/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on during an extended period with no keyboard (like DVD burning), the screen is empty. It does not matter the keys on which I support on I can't get it back. The only way to get out of what I've found is to reboot the machine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    Hello Gary

    Try please install the latest display driver, you can find on the download page of Toshiba. It is also recommended that you update the BIOS with the latest version available.

  • Satellite A100 - 383 PSAARE - screen flashes on then off

    Dear all,

    I have a problem with my pc (a PSAARE 100 383 Satellite).
    I've updated to Windows 7 recently. A few days after the screen started blinking and turning off after the connection.
    There is no way of next turn (not Fn + F5). The problem has worsened and I could not display at all.
    I managed to connect the pc to the TV and I did the following:

    1 reinstalled Windows 7. + It seemed to improve but a few hours after you reinstall the problem reappeared.
    2. retrograde to Vista. + Same as before but it seems to be more stable.

    I use a cooling for pc support. I don't know what do.
    Can someone give me a hint on what to do to fix this?
    If it's a hardware problem would be to fix?

    Thank you all in advance for your help.

    Kind regards!

    Hello

    You mean that the works display for a while and then it goes black?
    Have you tried a different display driver?

    Have you noticed a higher temperature while this problem appear?
    Higher temperatures could affect the GPU.
    You can try to clean the modules of cooling using a jet of compressed air.
    This would keep going down.

  • Satellite M300 - screen flashes white

    Toshiba Satellite M300 on 18 months old (using Windows 7). Display has had intermittent problems. Screen flashes to a white screen. Now if the lid is moved while he was working, "white" screen completely and returns to normal when returned to 'the sweet spot '!

    Have not yet tried another monitor. Driver is up-to-date. Assuming that maybe it's a "bad connection". Use turned off with the closure of the lid that changed tonight.

    Any ideas? :)

    Hi KezRev,

    Theoretically, it could be a problem of connecting cable or internal problem display but you should test another monitor first. Just connect an external monitor to check the image here.

    If the external monitor works properly it s the LCD cable internal or visualize a malfunction. So, contact a service provider and allow technicians to check your laptop. They can fix this problem and order new parts. :)

  • Satellite A100 screen backlight works, but no display

    Just in the process of establishing a Satellite A100 that works very well through the connection of the external monitor but when switched over to using Fn + F5 LCD screen, the backlight turns on but there is no display at all, just a black screen lit.

    I suspect it is the screen that is past and not on the cord (have a screen on order) so will update here but I just thought that I would keep you updated on the progress.

    Has anyone else had this error?

    Steve

    Hello Steve

    The fact is that your laptop is a malfunction of the equipment, and it must be fixed by replacement. To ask if anyone has had this fault won't help you a lot. You need to fix it anyway.

    My question is: might want to fix you alone?

  • Satellite A100 screen had a few scratches

    Hi all, I hope I'm posting in the right section...

    My problem is that for a long time, when my laptop was my offbeat system idle and froze. When I forced a reboot the screen has some scratches.

    Once the program loaded grub (double ubuntu/win7), he had a few random weird letters instead of the correct letters.
    After the Boot animation windows, the screen remains blank. I rebooted and tried to log in to ubuntu.

    Ubuntu was telling me something about some error and told me to go under the low resolution.
    Using sure start in windows, I was finally able to enter windows system too. I disabled the driver (?) graphics in the Device Manager, and since then he has been able to start normally, in low resolution, what is.

    The question is, if my graphics card is broken? Because sometimes, the display looks good again. (I see that because there are no weird scratches and I'm able to start with a high resolution). But there again it is broken once again):

    I tried to reinstall the graphics driver many times, but it did not help. And it should be the newest!

    On my system:
    Satellite A100
    nVidia GeForce Go 7600

    Any help/tips/advice much appreciated! Thank you

    > The question is, if my graphics card is broken? Because sometimes, the display looks good again. (I see that because there are no weird scratches and I'm able to start with a high resolution). But there again it is broken once again):

    I'm scared, Yes. It looks like a faulty graphics card.
    You can try to connect the external monitor to the laptop and could check if the same would be visible on the second monitor
    In most cases if the GPU is affected, the stripes are visible on the screen, internal and external.

    Well, in this case you would need a new motherboard. :(

  • Satellite A100 - BIOS flash not finished

    If the BIOS update was not properly finished, I fear you have real problem now and authorized service provider can help with this.
    I guess that you do not start your laptop. Am I right about that?

    Sorry but there is nothing that you can do it alone. Traditional BIOS update (diskette) doesn't exist for this model of laptop. Sorry :(

  • Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

    Hello

    Is it possible to disable the bios beep when the battery is empty or the laptop's Hibernate?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

    Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

    Thank you!

    Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

    Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

    Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
    Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.
