Laptop screen went black. Picture on external screen has pixelation.
by admin on Feb.17, 2009, under IT News
I have a Tosiba Satellite P100 17 inch laptop. It has Nvidia Geforce 7600 Go Video card. The LCD screen went black few days ago, but the laptop is in working condition, LED lights are working. Was able to connect to external monitor via VGA port, got the picture, but it’s somewhat corrupted, picture has a lot of pixelation. This is also repeated with another external LCD. I disassembled it to check connections, the video cable connection seems to be tight… What seems to be the problem? If this is screen , why I have pixelation on external monitor? Is it a video card? Is it a motherboard?
That description sounds like a problem with the video card and I’ve seen this happening with Satellite P100 laptops before. Most likely you will be able to fix the laptop if you replace the video card, which is located underneath the motherboard. You can follow this disassembly instructions for a Satellite P105, which is a similar laptop except it has a video card integrated into the motherboard. In your laptop the video card should be a discrete module which you can separate from the motherboard.
If you can give me the laptop model number from the sticker on the bottom, I can look up the video card part number for you so you can google it and find a replacement.
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt
by admin on Feb.17, 2009, under IT News
My computer won’t start and it says - the Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: windows\system32\config\system”. I have a ThinkPad T60 computer and I am currently studying abroad in a different country away from home and I do not have the original CD for Windows…Is there any way I can get this fixed or solve it without the CD? Please write back if you can, it’d be much appreciated!
Usually on ThinkPad laptops you can repair or reinstall window from the hidden recovery partition. Turn on the laptop and press on the blue Access IBM button to activate the recovery wizard. Press on the button as soon as Lenovo (IBM) logo appears on the screen. You’ll see a few different options in the recovery menu. First, try repairing Windows. If it doesn’t help, reimage the hard drive back to factory defaults.
The screen goes black or dim when I touch the lid or move the laptop
by admin on Feb.17, 2009, under IT News
When I touch the lid or move the laptop a certain way, the screen goes black or the contrast is really dim. The buttons on the laptop are still lit but everything else seems shut off.. but not really. I try everything I can to turn it on but it wont turn on. So I have to force it to shut down. I don’t know why it would do that.
I think there could be a problem with the screen cable. This cable connects the laptop LCD screen to the motherboard and apparently the cable is bad and has to be replaced. That would be my guess.
Here’s what you can do in order to narrow down the problem. Test your laptop with an external monitor attached to the VGA port. Set your laptop to output video to both, the internal screen and external monitor. Now touch the lid or move the laptop. If the laptop screen goes black or dim, but you still can use the laptop with the external monitor, most likely it’s related to the screen cable. Apparently it has damaged wires inside the harness and there is a short inside the harness when you move the lid. If that’s the case, the screen cable has to be replaced.
Screen on my Toshiba Satellite A25 falls down and will not stay up
by admin on Feb.17, 2009, under IT News
Toshiba Satellite A25-S207 laptop clutch in not holding up the screen. Screen falls down and will not stay up.
What parts do I need? Is it an easy fix?
That is a common problem with Toshiba Satellite A20/A25 laptops. Most likely the screen will not stay up because one or both display hinges are broken. In order to fix the problem, you’ll have to replace display hinges.
Replacing hinges is not an easy fix because you’ll have to disassemble the whole laptop. You’ll have to take apart both, the laptop base and display panel assembly as it shown in this repair guide.
If you have no laptop repair experience, I wouldn’t attempt this repair. It’s not an easy repair even for experienced technicians.
