Blue flashing pixel on my M40-107

Next problem. Just got my Satellite back and they have replaced the motherboard. However the problem I had from day one isn't gone.
Everytime the laptop feels like it there is a blue flashing pixel somewhere in the middle of the screen. If you move the screen a bit from front to back and the other way the pixel is gone or it wil come back. If you can see it will be blue.
Is this really a dead pixel? But why does it work sometimes? Is it just a faulty cable?
:( I'm getting really depressed of this laptop

Hello
I can really understand that you are concerned about that. I assume that this pixel is really a dead one. I have also found an article about that. If you want you can check it under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/faq.jsp?service=EU&from=faq_selection&CFID=Display +-+Graphics&FID=TRO000000265d .
It is possible that this pixel changes depending on background color.
Good luck!

  • Blues "flashes" in .mov after rendering in iphoto 6

    I recently upgraded iphoto 6 when prompted, and have rendered the first .mov from a slideshow since the upgrade. Upon playback, there are blue flashes that appear randomly throughout. I have re-rendered, deleted and recreated the slideshow, run a disk utility, etc., but the blue flashes still appear. This never happened before I upgraded, and I have done many slideshows. I got a new monitor, which is the only other variable. What is the problem? Help!

  • IMovie mp4 problem - Video "flashes" pixels?

    Hi!
    After exporting, this mp4 file keeps "flashing pixels" time to time. Here is a sample of the problem:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnpqjaaKdz0

    That looks to me like bitrate starvation -- too low of a bitrate for something that vivid and detailed?
    What is this shot with? What's your original footage bitrate?
    When you export to Quicktime, did you choose H.264 and at best quality already?!?
    iMovie 11 H.264 is good, but can be a bit lacking in terms of quality compared to some of the best H.264 encoders out there.
    I personally don't use H.264 and prefer to export either uncompressed or DV stream and use the power of my Quad PC to encode to better quality H.264.

  • Nokia 6300 - Blue flashing side lights

    Hi All,
    This might sound like a really daft question, but I have had my phone now for under a week and all works fine with it even though I have read a number of post on this forum regarding this phone.
    The question that I would like to ask is as follows:
    I am sure that when I first got the phone two blue lights on the side of the phone would flash every 2 or 3 seconds. I don't know what I have changed and I have looked through the owners manual but now these lights have stopped flashing. Have I turned something off or is this a fault in the phone.
    Any help or information would be appriciated.
    Cheers,
    Fred:-)

    Hi there,
    dhkhan has give a very clear understanding of the Blue flashing side lights. Thanks khan. 
    I had the Light Effects turned OFF and was wondering why it didn't flash. I had been to the Nokia Care Point and they said it must be something to do with the software/hardware and it would cost a minimum of Rs.350. I had the phone back from them in amazement and only then the Nokia Discussion forum struck my mind.
    Thanks once again Khan.

  • Satellite M40-107: Can not re-install Powersaver - Code 0x7E

    Recently i had to re-install Windows Xp on my Satellite M40-107 DU (PSM40E). Everything went fine. At last I wanted to install the powersaver and I downloaded the latest version for my machine from the Toshiba web-site. Installing goes fine untill I press complete installation (voltooien).
    A pop-up screen appears withe the message: Fatal error, this program will be ended. Code 0x7E.
    After restarting the same message appears untill the powersaver is removed from the run tray.
    Who can help?
    regards
    @b

    Hi
    It seems that there is no generally solution for this issue.
    I have found and read some postings about the similar issue and it seems that the Toshiba recovery CD installation will eliminate the popup of this error message.

  • Red blue & green pixels stuck on in four coners of the iPhone 3G

    4-8 stuck red blue green pixels stuck on in each corner of the iPhone 3G. You can see them when you flip between icon pages & in photos, browser etc. In other words, as you slide from the springboard page one of apps to page two the pixels stay stuck on in the same place as the images drags across?
    Is that maybe from pressure, maybe sitting on the iPhone?

    Hi ciscomemorynet,
    You might be able to fix it with a web app like: http://www.apple.com/webapps/utilities/stuckpixelfix.html
    If the issue persists, the iPhone may need repair/replacement. This article: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#repair8 provides service options.

  • Quick blue flash during startup

    My macbook pro is making a quick blue flash during startup when it's at the apple logo. Not blue as in blue screen but a transparent type of blue I would say and it's just for a moment. Is that a symptom of something? It started a couple of months ago. I have no other problems with my macbook pro. I might add that this is not a real problem for me as a user, but I am a bit concerned about it, that's all. (I can look away if I want to and feel better about it)

    Hardware tests can only detect hardware problems that they are designed to detect. I think you may have a hardware problem that is not able to be detected by Tech Tool Deluxe. For example, a bad connection somewhere may not be detected.
    Here is a test that is supposed to be better at detecting RAM problems:
    http://www.kelleycomputing.net/rember/
    Check to see that your RAM is well seated and that all of it is recognized. Faulty RAM or poorly seated RAM can be a factor in kernel panics, and often RAM problems are not detected by hardware tests.
    Also, check the S.M.A.R.T. status of your drive with Disk Utility.
    Your difficulty doing a clean install of the OS does point to a hardware issue of some kind.
    Unfortunately, it's probably time to call Apple for a diagnosis and repair under warranty. If you have a hardware problem, which I think you do, there is really no way to fix it other than to turn it over to Apple or an AASP for a warranty repair.
    Good luck!

  • Screen problem - flashing pixels

    Hi,
    I upgraded to Mountain Loon a while ago, and a short while afterwards the screen started to misbehave. I have looked on the pages, but not found anything close to this problem.
    The attached image shows the type of thing I'm talking about, lots of flashing pixels which disappear for a while if I use the two finger right sweep to get to another area of video space.
    COmputer is 1.93 GHz Intel Core i7 iMac with 16GB RAM bought towards the end of 2010. Graphics are ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024MB running OS X 10.8.2(12C60).
    I have resinstalled the O/S keeping my original files, but  to no avail.
    Any suggestions????? (Please)

    HI,
    I've tried the Apple Hardware Test program, and run it through on normal and advanced testing a number of times (4 times at least  in each cycle). AHT wasn't on my system so I had to resort to the origial install disks, but that worked as described in the instructions so thanks for that :-)
    The AHT has shown no errors what so every (The actual statement was 'no trouble found' ). So I am at a loss as to what the problem is.
    However the screen whilst in the AHT showed no signs of the spurious random flashing pixels / characters on the screen at any stage, and so I am hopeful that it's not the graphics card or the screen itself. COuld it be an issue with the drivers within the O/S I wonder?
    Any suggestions
    Cheers

  • Blue/Purple pixelated apple logo followed by a white screen?

    After a system update I was checking some e-mail when my screen turned white.  Restarted via holding the powerbutton down for 10 seconds and when it restarted the Blue/Purple Pixelated  logo loaded up then the screen flickers black followed by a white screen. I have read over the forums about the matter but many of the white screens of death were of a different manner.  Im in a bit of a panic due to some deadlines has anyone else had this issue.   

    You can try SMC and PRAM resets:

    If no change, take your MBP to an Apple store genius bar and have the technicians perform a free diagnosis to determine what the issue(s) may be.

  • No Keyboard backlight and flashing Pixels New Yoga 2 Pro

    Picked up my new Yoga 2 Pro 13 from BB last night with the i7 and 8gig of ram. Ive been waiting months for this thing to come back in stock and Im getting sad.
    So far Ive noticed about 20 flashing pixels in various places in the screen. No bright or dead pixels, these guys are flickering. Some are single but I have some groups as well. They are super noticable in the LENOVO screen at boot, in GRUB while loading Ubuntu and In my black wall paper in Win8 so I dont think its a software issue. Also my Yellows are muddy as hell even with the rocket, but thats common I know.  
    Also I cannot get my keyboard backlight to come on. I have updated all my drivers, Im running the current bios, and Ive reloaded windows8 once already. No backlight in BIOS, Win8, or Ubuntu. Ive tried turning it on with Fn+Space, Ive tried disabling and reenabling hotkeys in the BIOS as well. 
    Im trying to avoid returing it as this was the last one availble in the state apparently and who knows when they will come back in stock but I wont keep a broken computer either. Any Help?

    I think your right. I was hoping there would be some solution in the community thats just like " oh yea run this utility and hold your tongue to the left while you press ctrl+alt+shift+~+esc and it will turn everything back on and refresh your pixels

  • Flashing Pixels (Bad Video) Apple please help!

    I read another topic about this (which has been archived without being answered) POST: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1174473
    I have these incessant flashing Green/blue pixels in windows through boot camp which makes it intolerable to use. It does this with the built in display but not with the extended display which I use on 270 degree orientation so I can't use that instead.
    Seems to be a huge number of people in that post with this complaint and my situation fits it exactly. It used to work fine and at some point (not sure which update exactly due to infrequent use at the time) it went bad. Nothing I do will fix it. I've even wiped the HD, repartitioned, reinstalled windows on boot camp and then restored my OSX with Time Machine... Allot of hassle for no results. Only saving grace was Time Machine with the OSX side of that effort.
    I want to know why apple refuse to even comment on this and maybe offer some thoughts on this? Maybe a fix even? Instead of locking the topic and shutting us up instead of working with us. What's next? A cover up to hide the fact? Maybe Apple should just delete the complaints from the support forums.
    Apple, please help, this is beyond tolerable and I need boot camp for a couple of Windows Only apps. If I had a choice I would defiantly use OSX versions.
    Just a side not. When I wiped the HD and went to reinstall form the backup the OSX installer recognized the destination and source but refused to run the restoration. I shut the whole thing down and started again and it worked fine.
    Apple please help!

    I'm having the same problem, I thought that Leopard's Boot Camp would fix it but it didn't work.

  • Has anyone seen the blue flashing screen on MBP running 10.6.8?  It looks like you are plugging in an external monitor and unplugging it over and over.

    So, I have called Apple twice about this issue.  Both times, I was on for almost an hour and could not get an answer.  In fact, the technicians said that they had never seen this issue before.  Here is how it goes.
    It has happened MacBook Pro laptops anywhere from 2010 to now.  I have seen it on new ones with Thunderbolt and ones a generation before.  In the environment I work in, we have many, thousands from ranging from all generations.  This specific issue seems to only be affecting 10.6.8.  When the computer boots, it starts to flash blue as if you just plugged in an external montior, except there is no monitor, and it keeps flashing blue about once every second.  I actually have a video of it on my phone that I can send to show you.
    Now, like I said, this is happening to multiple laptops, all running 10.6.8.  There isn't a particular action that causes it either.  I have seen laptops that have been running for hours just start doing it as well as a completely cold start up do it right at the login screen.  Upgrading to 10.7.x seems to solve the issue.  But you have to understand, the environment I work in has thousands of computers.  Upgrading many of them to Lion just for this is just not practical.  In some cases, there is software that will not function correctly beyond 10.6.8.
    I have scoured though Google searches for hours now looking for a similar issue and a resolution.  The answer I always seem to find is just upgrade.  I can't seem to find a discussion beyond 2011 that talks about it.
    Can someone help me?
    Chad

    By the way, I have tried shutting of the display switching in the power settings.  That was basically the only real answer I found anywhere.  It didn't work.

  • Flashing pixels below menu bar?

    After I updated to Mavericks I noticed that a strip of pixels will randomly flash at times right under the menu bar. The line is maybe 1/4 of the screen in the center. If I go into mission control or launch pad it goes away for a while but comes back eventually. Does anyone know what would cause this? I have tried rebooting/updating to 9.1 and it still happens.
