A technical problem regarding screen replacement on a Satellite Pro

Hi there,
The original screen on my laptop is a glossy screen with the following reference: NTL154X3 (made by Samsung). Two weeks ago I replaced it with a matt screen with the following PL154W01 (made by LG_Philips).
The laptop is working fine since but the screen is just about half as bright as it should be.
Playing with FN+F6 increases the brightness and FN+F7 decreases it. The F6 and F7 works in a reverse order in comparison to what they use to be after replacing the screen. In addition I have to push those buttons twice to change the brightness one step up or one step down.
The first time I push those buttons the brightness wheel come on the screen and the watch moves one step but the brightness doesn't change. When I push them again the watch moves again one step up (or down) and this time the screen brighten up (or down).
The replacement screen is not at fault. I think I have to change the inverter on my laptop because it doesn't provide enough voltage for the matt screen.
I searched the web for days but couldn't find a reference for the inverter to be use with the matt screen.
Can any one help?
Thanks.

To be honest, I dont know if its an inverter issue or if you simply used and replaced the screen with a not compatible one. Who knows?
But fact is that all compatible parts and devices (also the FL inverter) can be ordered from the authorized service provider in your country.
The guys could order the parts directly from Toshiba.
Call the technicians and ask for a compatible inverter for this notebook. Furthermore you could ask if you have used a right LCD.
Good luck

Screen gone Dull on Satellite Pro A200

I have a Satellite Pro A200 that works fine on an external monitor, but is very dull on the laptop monitor.
Does anyone know if it is backlit, and if the lights are replaceable, or do I need a new screen?
Fn + F5/F6 doesn't do anything. Correcting the brightness with software works on the external monitor, but not on the laptop.
Thanks

Thats the problem on forum discussions. Nobody can say for sure what the problem is and we can just speculate what the problem can be.
If the display is completely dark and you cannot see anything problem can be cable (mainboard to display) or even display itself. On eBay you can get new one for pretty good price. Two years ago I bought for friends L300 new display for 70 Euros and exchange was not so complicated.
I can write now: obtain new display and check it but it costs you more money, so you must make decision what to do.

Blue screen error message on Satellite Pro A10

Hi,
I'm trying to help my inlaws with their Satellite Pro SPA10. I had set this up for them a few months ago and it was running really well.
Now it restarts about two seconds past the "use last good configuration" etc. screen, gets to this screen again then restarts immediately ad infinitum, never pausing on the error mesage for long enough to see what it says.
I managed to get it to boot from the windows XP home disc and got as far as the repair or continue with installation screen. When I asked the computer to do either it crashes to blue screen almost immediately. The error message is
*** STOP: 0x000000c5 (0x00000000, 0x00000002, 0x00000001, 0x8082B98B)
This is beyond my level of expertise, can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi Mike thank you for replying,
I am not able to start the computer in safe mode, safe mode with networking, last good known configuration etc, Each time it quickly blue screens and restarts about two secs into the process.
I was unable to try a clean OS install from the disk as it gave the blue screen error shown in the original post. The same thing happened when I tried to use the repair option on the XP home disc. So i can't get into the computer at all to start diagnosing the fault, the only clue I have is the error message, and after searching the internet I haven't found much enlightenment from that yet.
If you can help me out or suggest where to search it would be much appreciated.
Thx

How to fix iphone 4s (searching..) problem after screen replacement

I had a black iPhone 4S that had a cracked screen and I decided if I was going to change the screen i also want to change my iPhone white too but when I finished the whole process my iPhone kept saying (searching..) for signal no matter if there was a SIM card in or not. I also went back into the phone and checked if any cables or antenna cables were not put in and it seems like I put them in all right.. But I just need help how to fix my iPhone to read the SIM card..
PLEASE HELP..

An iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service may be eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service. For example, an iPhone that has failed due to damage or liquid damage is ineligible for warranty service but eligible for OOW service. However, certain damage is ineligible for OOW service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. Please see Apple's Repair Terms And Conditions for further details."
My emphases. Opening an iPhone is not necessarily a Good Thing.

Trying to deal with a recurrent problem regarding my one year old Macbook Pro

I have restored my hard drive three times and already took my Macbook Pro to a check up where it got supposedly repaired... What should I do? I don't download anything odd and I haven't the slightest idea of what's going on... Help would be appreciated.
But really, I freak out everytime it stops turning on and today it shut down on its own, those error reports aren't getting me any help either and I am a clueless sixteen year old girl that had less issues with her 2007 Windows... Or maybe I'm just freaking out and get too scared because this thing cost me and my parents quite a lot.
So, explain this to me like am 5.

Take the computer right back to the repair shop for them to fix it like they should have done in the first place. You should have gotten a case number. You should not be charged for the repair work under the same case number. Were the original repairs done under warranty? Do you have Apple Care? If yes to the above, call Apple Care and explain the situation to them. Or Call Apple Customer Relations (1-800) 275-2273. Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department.

"Consider replacing your battery" - Satellite Pro C650

Hi,
I recently sent an email to [email protected] to try and sort out a possible battery / battery reading problem on my Toshiba Satellite C650 that I have owned for under a year (is therefore covered under warranty).
Yesterday, I received a follow up call from the Toshiba computer technical support number and was asked to conduct a few tests to see whether they would resolve the problem:
1) Check whether the BIOS version was up to date, which it was (_BIOS version 2.00_) as confirmed by clicking F2 on start up.
2) Uninstall the old version of the program "Toshiba Value Added Package" then go to the mytoshiba.com.au site, enter the laptop model/part number and _download the latest Value Added Package_, followed by a reboot.
I was provided with a reference number to call back with in case these tests didn't fix the problem, however, I do not have a fixed phone where I am and rely on calling with a mobile phone (which is quite costly, especially when being put on hold). I was hoping to receive some sort of help on these forums.
*As the tests did not fix the problem I was encountering, where do I go from here?*
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Here are some of the finer details regarding the problem: {pasted from an email I sent to customer relations}
"From what I can tell, the AC adaptor (charger) works fine since it is able to charge the lithium-ion battery that the laptop came with and the orange light at the front of the laptop indicates that the adaptor is plugged in and is charging). However, recently whenever I unplugged the AC adaptor, I received a notice when I clicked on the battery meter icon on the desktop. It says: "Consider replacing your battery. There is a problem with your battery, so your computer might shut down suddenly." There is also a red cross that appears over the battery icon. Despite what the notification says, it appears that the problem may be more complex than that.
Today, I noticed that despite the AC adaptor not being plugged in and the battery meter reading "0%", the laptop did not shut down or hibernate - it remained working. Other times, the battery meter will warn me that there is little charge left and shuts down (sometimes only after 15 minutes). Before I received the notification of "Consider replacing your battery", the laptop battery would last at least 1½ hours without having the AC plugged in. I have also had this laptop less than a year and taken good care of the battery, allowing it to discharge every so often then recharging it after. It makes little sense that the battery now lasts 15 minutes or less.
Since the battery meter was apparently at 0% and did not shut down this evening, I suspect that the problem may have something to do with the Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Control Method Battery or at least the device that reads the battery charge. From my observations, it seems to be misjudging the % of charge and therefore sometimes shuts down prematurely, even though there is more charge remaining than estimated.
I have been following some of the Toshiba support forums (online) and other computer help forums and this ‘battery/battery reading' issue seems to be something a number of other laptop users have/are experiencing, especially when a user installs a Windows 7 operating system on a laptop that was bought with a preinstalled Windows XP operating system. I would like to emphasise that this laptop came with a preinstalled Windows 7 operating system and I have not changed operating systems at any time.
I have also read that users with this problem, in some cases attempted to fix the notification of "Consider replacing your battery" by following the notifications advice and buying a new battery fitted to their exact laptop model but apparently it did not resolve."

>I have also read that users with this problem, in some cases attempted to fix the notification of "Consider replacing your battery" by following the notifications advice and buying a new battery fitted to their exact laptop model but apparently it did not resolve."
Well, in my opinion you should definitely try a new battery.
If all the updates (BIOS, VAP, etc) didnt help then a new battery should be tested. Of course it would be better to test this before purchasing a new battery so maybe you have to get in contact with an ASP in your country and have to clear this in direct contact with agent.
You said that the warranty is valid therefore the notebook should be fixed free of charge. But you should consider that battery is covered by warranty one year long.

Screen not working of Satellite Pro A

My sattelite pro, not sure what model because the sticker has worn out, but I think its something like L18850
When I was using it today, it went into sleep, when I rebooted it the screen wouldn't come on.
I tried removing the battery, holding power button for 45 seconds etc.. That didn't work.
I have tried turning it on and off lots of times, it boots up the desktop, I can hear the sound of it logging in, but it seems to take longer for the sound to happen now and it seems to make the login sound twice, 10 mins apart.
One of the times i Turned it on it the screen worked and it loaded up system recovery, I chose to keep my existing files and partition the rest, the screen was working for the half an hour that it took to recover windows, then when it restarted the screen was no longer working again..
It is very frustrating as one week ago the laptop was with Toshiba repair, there were no previous problems with the screen, I sent it in with a cooling fan fault..
Any help would be appreciated , I need the laptop badly as I work online and need it to pay rent..

Sorry to hear that it very annoying if notebook / computer start to malfunctions.
From my point of view nobody here in the forum would be able to help fixing this issue since I think there is something wrong with the hardware.
You could connect the external monitor just to check if something would be visible on 2nd screen but of course this would not fix the notebook problem.
Maybe the issue is related to the last notebook repair??? You said the notebook was send to the service one week ago this is just an assumption but maybe the technician made some mistakes last time who knows I recommend you to get in contact with the guys again

Problems with the connection of my Satellite Pro L500 to my TV

Hi,
I am having problems in connecting my computer to my TV. I bought a VGA to component (red, green, blue) cable.
When I connect the computer to the TV and select "Connect to a projector" the image on the TV looks funny (kind of pink and green).
Am I doing anything wrong?
Do I need anything else?
Thanks!

Try a SMC reset. Any luck?

Regarding String Replacing ....

Hi Friends,

ex.
I have following string ::
=================================================
This is the java manager the main purpose for the jasper is used to create reports.
And the Java language is very extensible.
Is this the proper string functions provided by java isn't it ?
*================================================*
*i want to replace word "is" with "IS". but that word is not connected to word like Th{color:#ff00ff}is{color}*
*differ from simple separate "{color:#ff0000}is{color}" so Word should not be replaced in This only separate "is"*
*must be replaced. ?*
*Any Idea ?*
*{color}*
Edited by: Ghanshyam on Sep 14, 2007 4:27 PM

How about just searching for and replacing
" is "
instead of
"is"
So, using this code from the Java Developers Almanac 1.4 (2002 Addison-Wesley):-
static String replace(String str, String pattern, String replace) {> int s = 0;> int e = 0;> StringBuffer result = new StringBuffer();> > while ((e = str.indexOf(pattern, s)) >= 0) {> result.append(str.substring(s, e));> result.append(replace);> s = e+pattern.length();> result.append(str.substring(s));
return result.toString();
}Your would use:-
String newStr = replace(originalStr, " is "," IS ");

I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.

I was given a new phone because of a technical problem with my other. Everything was replaced because of iCloud but now it is telling me I do not have enough storage room on this phone to perform a back-up. Can I fix this?!

Why don't you call Apple tech support thru your provider. They will be able to help you in short order.
PS - If you want help here you need to provide a little more information i.e. how much memory does your iPhone -4- have and how much free memory do you have after restoring from the cloud?

IPhone Screen Replacement Problems

So I recently got my screen replaced by JetCity in Chicago for $140... two days later I dropped my phone and the screen shattered again. This time I was determined to change the screen myself. I ordered a new screen, took apart the phone without any kinks, replaced the screen, made sure everything was connected, and put the phone back together. I turned it on and all I saw was a blue vertical bar across the center of the screen, which stayed there for awhile, until the phone finished booting up and then the phone screen went into standby or whatever. I can connect the phone to the computer and it's recognized by iTunes, so everything else in the phone appears to be working except the output to the screen. Thinking it was a faulty replacement screen, I connected my old cracked screen back up, and the same blue bars appeared. I'm not sure what to do at this point. If anyone has any clue as to what the problem is, PLEASE tell me. I've had an iPhone since the original came out and I've been using a $4.99 att goPhone as a replacement and I'm slowly dying while attempting to use it day to day... I'll attach photos of what the phone now looks like when I press the home button to wake it up. Any ideas are MUCH appreciated.

I'll try the firmware restore now, I've tried reseting the connector onto the logic board a few times, and have already tried cleaning the connectors with isopropyll. I figured debris was probably the original cause but since cleaning it didn't work, I just figured the logic board somewhere during the replacement got messed up somehow. I'll probably just do the exchange if the firmware restore doesn't work. Any other soulutions still appreciated.. but I'm pretty sure theres not much else I can do at this point short of getting a replacement.

I bought several season of a tv series in the German Apple Store. Now they are gone due to technical problems (no backup). How do I get them back? ATTENTION: Meanwhile I moved to Switzerland and the Swiss Store doesn't offer tv series.

Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
I'll hit a few of your questions - others will have to do others since I'm not up on some of the issues you ask about
4) is there an easy way to review/delete items (in 6, i run a basic slideshow and delete on the fly -- is this still workable in 7?)?
Yes
5) Are there significant functionality benefits of 7 over 6 (e.g., does the noise function or shadow/highlight really offer significant benefits? The Events seems obvious, but I'm more interested in "under the hood" experience
Yes
Loseless editing - web galleries - events
a) Is import any faster? As my library is growing in size, the import is getting overly slow
It is fine for me (only you can compare to your current) - I have 20542 items using 26.3 GB in 271 events
7) Is there a full-screen edit mode?
yes
8) Can you configure events so that it's not just by day?
yes
9) Is 6's "roll" structure as mirrored in the file system still available in the Events approach, or is the database structure that once you've converted a library, there's no going back?
Events replace rolls (if your rolls are named - NOT the default rollxxx name - they will come across as is - to me events are rolls with much more capability and a new name - some people are VERY putoff by the change (but most love it) for reasons that I simply do not comprehend
10) What is the effective (or advised) maximum library size? I've probably got over 60GB of images in my libraries now, with 20,000 images or so. If 7 can readily digest them (and preserve all my albums, etc.), then I'd love to combine them into one, unless that will kill performance, make the database unstable, drive backups into interminable waits, etc.
The advertised max is 250,000 photos - I have about the same number of photos as you in about 1/3 the space - there are a few users here with libararies your size. With iPhoto Library Manager it is easy to maintain multiple libraries if you choose

Ipod touch 4th generation camera doesn't work after smashed screen replacement

I have an ipod touch 4th generation that i smashed to screen with a torch, i got the screen replaced however my camera shutter will NOT open at all, i can go into camera roll and everything BUT the shutter wont open and the slide to go from camera to video just blinks a few times. Ive tried everything from turning it off and on(note my off/top button doesn't work) I had problems with the camera before i had the screen replaced but now it doesn't work at all. And will resetting and/or restarting it through iTunes delete ANY of the conent i have on my Ipod?
Any help much appreciated as i can NOT afford to get it fixed at Apple!!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
In that case take it back to the people who replaced the screen. They likely messed something up unless what broke the screen and broke the camera.
