Blank screen on Toshiba NB200 10Z setup

I have turned on my new netbook and the screen lights up, I hear music but nothing happens and the screen remains blank. The power is working and the indicator buttons are all green. Any idea what I can do to set this up?

Hi
Maybe the screen has been switched to external monitor?
Try the FN +F5 key combination.
This allows switching between external and internal display.
If this does not help then I would recommend removing battery and disconnect the AC adaptor for a while wait about 1hour and connect both parts.
Check it.

Toshiba NB200-10z - recovery disc creator.lnk isn't available

Hello, I have a problem with my netbook Toshiba NB200-10z, when I run Toshiba recovery disc creator I get the window with:
The unit or network connection to which the link refers "recovery disc creator.lnk isn't available.
Make sure that the disk is properly inserted or the network resource is available and try again
How can I fix it?

Since this is an English language forum you should post the message in English language.
I assume you are not able to start the Recovery disk creator software
Why?? Who knows.
Try to recover the notebook using HDD recovery option:
Press F8, choose Repair my Computer, and HDD recovery.
If this would not be available or possiblewell you will need to try to order a recovery disk from Toshiba or would try to install the system using another disk

My NB200-10Z will not boot

I have a Toshiba nb200-10Z PLL20E-00200JEN
and it keep refusing to boot all what happens is when you press the power button no display flashes and the hd lite flickers once then nothing the power button lite stays on and the little power lite,
then leave it and 1 in twenty time it will boots normally and works normally till I switch it off
I have just had it twelve months on two weeks but this is something which has been happening for a couple of months but on now got very bad I thought it was a virus and spent weeks trying to solve it, but no it definitely the computer

Hi, i'm a new member who happens to have same problem before, but i was helped by this post from another tech-
forum. hope this will help you too, if you still have the problem.
this is from a friend with screen name, trowboyd:
I have found a fix for this. I do computer repair for a living and have now repaired two nb200's with this fault. Here's how:
1) Get the computer to post and boot. There's a few ways to do this if it will NEVER post. You can leave the computer off for around 2 months. I had one which never posted no matter what I tried. After leaving it sit around for about 2 months, I tried again and it posted and booted, but once it warmed up again it wouldn't post again. You can also try putting it in your car overnight to cool it down, or lastly you can try the freezer trick. Once you have it booted to windows, DON'T restart or power down as it may not post again.
2) Download the latest BIOS update for your NB200 which is v2.1. Make sure it's for the correct part number which can be found on the back of your nb200.
3) Connect your power lead and make sure the nb200 has at least 50% charge.
4) Install the v2.1 BIOS update.
Both nb200's I have repaired like this would only post intermittently before this v2.1 BIOS update. As I mentioned, 1 of them wouldn't post at all for two months. Both nb200's were initially running the v1.2 BIOS. Immediately after this v2.1 update, both nb200's post and boot every time, even when i have left them running near a heater in a hot room. Basically fixed.
You can find out what BIOS version you have on the main page of the BIOS setup screen.
So, get it to boot, and flash to the latest bios update. hope this helps.

How can I install new windows on NB200-10z without a CD drive?

Hi,
I have a mini laptop "Toshiba nb200-10z" and it doesnt startup anymore.
I would like to do a recovery, but it also doesnt work.
I know there is a shortcut like press the 0 button when the laptop is starting up.
With this shortcut you can start the recovery to reset the software.
But when I press the 0 button it gives me an error.
So I think the recovery drive/partition is lost.
How can I install new windows on this minilaptop without a CD drive?

I have found a much easier way to install Windows 7 from a USB Flash drive. Unlike other methods where you have to write complicated commands, this method can be completed even by those who have very little computer background.
The whole process takes only two steps, run UNetbootin, load the Windows 7 ISO file, and finally restart your computer.
Before you begin, you will require the following:
USB Flash Drive (4GB minimum)
Windows 7 ISO Image file
UNetbootin
Note: If UNetbootin doesnt work, try out the Microsofts official tool called Windows 7 USB/DVD Tool.
Now insert the USB drive, run UNetbootin, and select Disk Image as ISO. Browse your local drive for Windows 7 ISO that you downloaded and click Open. Now Select Type as USB and choose the drive. Once done, it will look like a bit similar to the screenshot shown below.
Click OK and it will begin extracting all installation files to the USB drive. The whole process will take some time (10-15 minutes), so have patience.
Once the installation is complete, reboot your computer. Now while your system is starting up press the appropriate button (usually F1, F2, F12, ESC, Backspace, or Escape) to bring up Bios Boot Menu.
Change the startup order to boot USB by default, usually you will have to press F6 to move the selected USB device on top. Once done, save changes and restart the system.

Toshiba NB200 Touchpad Not Smooth?

I bought a Toshiba NB200-10Z this week and I'm pleased with my purchase, very stylish. The only thing is if my fingers are dry the touchpad feels a bit rough in smoothness when gliding your finger across it. But if my fingers have a bit of moisture on its fine and smooth to use. Does anyone else experience this problem? I don't think this is a problem with mine individually I think its the texture of the touchpad.
Thanks,
Ben.

In my opinion NB200 is not some special notebook with special developed hardware and touchpad is not different as on other notebook models from different manufacturers.
At the moment I have three different notebooks in front of me and tochpads on all of them work well and properly.
Try to change settings in mouse properties, especially for sensitivity. Maybe this will help.

NB200-10Z powers up but the screen is blank

Hi
i have a Toshiba netbook NB200-10Z.
It powers up but the screen is blank.
Can anyone help me coz i don't know the cause to it

Hi
Try this:
Remove the battery and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Then wait a little bit (1 hour should be enough)
Then connect both parts again and try to power up your NB200.
If its not a serious issue, then your NB200 should power up properly.
Otherwise its a serious issue and you will need an professional help from an ASP technician.

I get nothing, tried hard off, new memory, new hard drives, no battery, battery, new battery, new a/c adapter, etc. Only one is still under warrenty, a HDX-16t, the other two, an HDX 16 and a Pavilion -1135nr

NB200-10Z: Can't make recovery disk using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator

Hi Folks,
I finally got round to buying a USB DVD drive in order to create recovery discs for my NB200-10Z. I got the following:
* Samsung SE-S084C, External USB 2.0 Slimline 8X DVD Writer, Black
I have twice tried to create a recovery disc and am now left with two trashed DVDs. The error codes in the error window are:
Error Code: 0E01B5-26-2A040803
Error code: 02016F-3C-00000000
The first time the burning was stopped, the second time the verify failed.
Can anyone shed light on this?

*Short version:*
Thank you to everybody who replied.
I decided to try out the USB DVD drive on another laptop to perform a HDD backup operation...and it failed as well. Grrrr. Same DVD media (I just hadn't got round to getting new media to try).
I think I shall discount the possiblility of the NB200 being at fault, and therefore shall consider this question answered on this forum.
*Long version:*
Well, I ended up using Virtual CD to "burn" an ISO file to HDD, and then copied that to another laptop to burn to DVD (not using the USB DVD drive, but the same DVD media type). Being the curious type I decided to perform a restore using the USB DVD drive. It got part way through installation then informs me that a CRC check had failed...argggg.
So, to cut a long story even shorter, I ended up slipstreaming the Intel storage drivers into a Win XP ISO (created from a Win XP CD I had from another previous laptop) and creating a bootable USB drive. Now I have a clean install with all the NB200 driver installed. Phew.
Actually, to think a bit more about it, I could have attempted to put the Toshiba recovery ISO onto the bootable USB drive, but I've done the clean install now anyway.
For whatever reason, I had such trouble getting the NB200 BIOS to recognise the USB DVD drive in order to change the boot order (it wasn't in the option list). This was with the DVD in the tray, and without the DVD in the tray. Some investigation required on my part, I think, to determine exactly what is going on.

Toshiba L355 Boot up Blank Screen

My laptop top boots up to a blank screen. The following lights are visible battery and power. I can hear the fan going but the screen is completely blank. I've tried taking the battery out pressing the power button etc. with it plugged in without battery all that still nothing. I have let it sit for almost a few days nothing, I'm not sure what the issue is can someone please give me a little insight. Thanks

ok, I tried to recreate the issue using my new L355 that I just picked up. I wasn't able to get the same LEDs to light up, mine always showed AC input, Power, and Battery Charging. When you plug in your power cable, does the AC input LED light up, and your battery light come on either amber or green? Does the fan come on high speed? If your AC input LED does not light, then that would indicate that either your power brick is bad, the internal jack is bad, or there is an issue with the motherboard.
I pulled the RAM out of my L355 to simulate RAM that isn't recognized. When I did, the 3 LEDs mentioned above lit up, the screen did flicker, but did not turn on. The CPU fan was running at high speed.
My first suggestion would be to try reseating the hard drive. Always unplug the cord and remove the battery prior to opening any of the panels. There is a panel on the bottom front of the laptop with 2 screws. Unscrew those screws, and the panel will hinge open(they are capture screws, so they wont fall out). There is a black cloth band on the hard drive caddy. Pull back to pop the hard drive out. Then push it back in firmly to reseat it. Power it up and see if it comes back to life. If not, remove the hard drive completely, and power it up. If it comes up with the hard drive removed, then the hard drive is the issue. If the issue remains, then put the hard drive back in, and put the cover back in place.
Next, unscrew the capture screw in the center panel. Pull the panel off, to access the RAM. The RAM is removed by pushing the silver tabs outward away from the RAM. The RAM stick will hinge upward. Remove and reseat both sticks. Try to power it up. If it still does not power up, then try just installing 1 RAM stick. If that does not work, swap it out for the other stick. This will check to see if you have an individual stick of RAM that is bad. It's highly unlikely that they both would go bad at the same time.
If none of the above suggestions point to the issue, then the issue is internal, and would require service.

NB200-10Z - Freezes after turning on

Hi, I've used my NB200-10z for 6 months without any problems.
But today I couldn't turn it on right away. I have to turn on and off power button several times to get it working. The battery is charged and there is power supply.
After I press turn on button, the cooler swiches on, the HDD indicator is green and the picture "Toshiba Leading Innovation" appears. Then the HDD indicator turns down and the picture freezes. And then nothing happends. The notebook doesn't respond on the "F2" or "F12" keys. I turn it off and try to turn it again. After several times the OS starts and the notebook works perfectly.
This sutiation repeated again - I have to turn on and off power button several times to get it working.
Please, help me, what should I do that the notebook starts properly?

Hi
I am having the same kind problem, even worse!
I bought my NB200 Aug 2009, it has been working very well for me till about 2 weeks ago.
One day, I turned it off normally, second day morning, I tried to trun on, I only see power light, plugin light, battery charging light up., the HDD light flashed once for maybe 2-3 seconds, then fade away. And the screan remains blank all the way.
I tried remove battery, unplug, wait up to 3 hours, put everything back, it still not starting up.
Also I tried with different RAM, but result remains the same.
And the situation getting worse and worse. About 2 weeks ago, when it first started, after about 10 tries, I could get it start. This morning I had to try over an hour, and finally got lucky once.
So, anyone is having the same problem? Any suggestions?

Toshiba NB200 booting erratically

My NB200 turned moody exactly 10 days after the warranty expired. Initially it did not reboot, I had to turn it off and back on. Now is not always turning on when I press the power button, actually it shows green lights for the power button but nothing more, it just freezes there.
Does anyone has experience the same, any solutions? I went through the self-diagnosis in the Toshiba site and it recommended me to take it to a service shop. In practical terms. Being this NB200 a $350 unit, shall I better get a new computer? maybe a more reliable one this time? suggestions will be appreciated.

Advice from Toshiba - their solution didn't help me, but someone might find it useful:
+The problem you report could be consistent with the laptop being stuck in a corrupted hibernation state. The typical symptom of this is the system starting to a blank screen with F2 and F12 not being available.(...) If the battery goes completely flat when the laptop is left in a hibernation state this can cause such corruption.+
+Power cycle instructions are as follows:+
+Make sure machine is switched off+
+Remove the mains power lead+
+Remove the battery from the bottom of the machine+
+Press and hold the 'Power On' switch for 20 seconds (this ensures there is no residual charge on the system keeping it in a hibernation state).+
+Reconnect to mains power+
+Check mains power indicator light is lit (if it isn't then the ac adapter may be faulty)+
+Switch machine on+
+If it now starts to a Windows Error Recovery screen then select Start Normally.+
+Put the battery back in+
+This process ensures that the laptop starts from cold rather than attempting to resume from a previous hibernation state.+
+There are Power Options that can be changed to alter the way the system behaves on actions such as shutting the lid. To investigate these Power Options use these instructions for Windows XP.+
+Click on Start button and select Control Panel+
+If Control Panel is in Category View (you will see Pick a category in a large font) then click on the link on the left had side to Switch to Classic View.+
+Now double click on Power Options+
+On the Power Schemes tab you can select the Power scheme from a drop down list. It is possible to change to the scheme Always On which will prevent hibernation (click on Apply to select) - this would not normally be selected on a laptop as the battery life will be shorter if laptop is left on unused. Alternatively individual options can be changed from here. For example - 'System Standby' whilst 'Running on batteries' can be switched to Never.+
+On the Advanced tab you can alter the behaviour of the computer when the lid is closed - to 'Stand by', 'Hibernate' or 'Do nothing'.+
+On the Hibernate tab you can turn off hibernation altogether. Clear the tick in the Enable Hibernation Checkbox.+

NB 200, blank screen at start up

hello fellow toshibans!
i have been using a toshiba nb200 for about a year now. its been fine, i take very good care of it, yet when i tried to turn it on the other day...the computer fails to boot.
i get the toshiba logo... then the screen goes blank with a little cursor flashing in the top left corner. WHY??
my warranty is two weeks past its date....i have taken it to a specilist who took 40. to tell me everything seems fine!!... the hard drive is working and is recognised in the bios.
i have changed the order of the bios etc...but i get a "check cable" message during the boot.
now i understand that there are bios upgrades available...??
1) WHAT BIOS UPGRADE PACKAGE DO I USE AS I SEE MANY?
2) HOW ON EARTH DO I ADD THIS UPGRADE WHEN MY COMPUTER DOESNT TURN ON???? - iv tried adding the most recent bios upgrade to my usb stick.. but on start up..it says "error"
i hope someone can help as i have a months work on it, my deadline is thursday and this is very serious for me.
i thank you for your time and effort and look forward to hearing from you very soon.
Mr Aymen I
null

thank you very much akuma!
so its a windows problem.....thats new...shouldnt the person i took it too know that?? weird.
ok so iv checked through my box the laptop came in and there is no recovery disk.
does that mean i have to download it onto my usb stick.
how will the computer know the recovery disk is in the usb......would i have to wipe/format the disk first so the recovery file is the only one in it?????
basically this means weve lost our work right? grrrrrrrrr.
im border line suicidal at the moment....further assistance would be greatly appreciated?
once again i thank you for your time and effort
Aymen

New Install - startx results in blank screen with mouse cursor

I installed Arch on my desktop last week with no issues, so I wanted to install it on an old THinkpad R31. Everything with the installation went smooth, but when I try to 'startx' all I get is a blank screen with a mouse cursor that I can move around. I've installed xorg-xinit, xorg-twm, xorg-xclock, and xterm.
I'm not getting any significant errors in the logs, or even the terminal I issue 'startx' in.
I'm not sure what the problem could be...
Here is my output from 'startx'

I do indeed.
I went ahead and installed LXDE anyways, just to see what would happen. Exact same thing, it looks like everything is about to load but only the mouse cursor shows up. My Xorg.0.log is the same, so I won't post it again.
I do get an error in the console about the openbox menu.xml file missing but I doubt that's related.

Tablet Only Showing Blank Screen

My tablet is not showing anything on the screen. Only the backlight is on, so the screen gets power. Pressing Windows button is vibrates the tablet. Holding the power button for 10 seconds shuts it off. A short press (like waking it up) lights the blank screen, sometimes the Front Camera blue LED light blinks like it probably should. No Audio.
I am scared. I saved money for two years, then two months ago I bought this tablet now It's just a brick. Bought outside the country. I knew it was a mistake for buying Toshiba as one year ago my Toshiba laptop motherboard died. Should have bought Dell Venue Pro.

Same happens to me.
The first time, I let the battery drain and when it was totally discharged, I plugged the tablet and it worked just fine.
And now it happened again! bad thing that now it is fully charge and I have to wait again to use it again... I hope.
Someone had a simmilar issue?

HELP with Satellite Series - P305-S8837; displaying blank screen with cursor

Help! I have a the P305-S8837 laptop in the Toshiba Satellite Series. I have had the laptop for several months now and it's been working fine until now. I was using it this morning (on the internet) and it started freezing up and so I hit Crtl + Alt + delete and selected the option to restart. It restarted and asked which mode I wanted to start it up in (safe mode, safe mode w/networking, etc.) and I selected the normal option. It started out fine - little windows logo came on with the sound and then went into the Welcome Windows Home Vista premium page (that's like bluish greenish) and then afterwards the screen just goes blank with the exception of the mouse cursor. I let it sit for about an hour and there was no change. I have tried pressing the Crtl + Alt + delete and that has had NO affect. So i manually turned it off and then back on using the power button and tried starting it up in Safe mode w/networking and then just safe mode - both are able to get to the welcome screen but after that it's just a blank screen with cursor and it says safe mode and stuff on the border. Crtl + Alt + delete does not work in the safe mode w/networking but in just the regular safe mode it will go to that same screen that is the welcome and ask if I want to lock the computer, change users, start task manager or restart / shut down. I have selected the restart option and nothing happens and then the Crtl + Alt + delete option no longer works. I have tried manually starting the laptop with the battery unattached and just using the AC Adapter and that has had no impact. I have tried just using the laptop's battery only with no AC Adapter and that has had no impact.
As you can see, I am in desperate need of some assistance! Please tell me what to do!
Thanks

Turn the computer on and immediately press and hold the F8 key.
On the Advanced Boot Options menu, choose Repair Your Computer.
When you reach the System Recovery Options menu, choose Startup Repair.
If that doesn't do the trick, go back to the System Recovery Options menu and do a System Restore.
If that doesn't fix things either, go back to the System Recovery Options menu, choose Command Prompt, and follow the directions here
How to use the Bootrec.exe tool in the Windows Recovery Environment to troubleshoot and repair start...
Good luck!
