Display stopped working on Satellite A300

Hi Guys,
I have satellite a300 PSAg4a-02500m laptop. All of a sudden the display has stopped working on the laptop. I tried plugging an external display but that is also not working.
I cannot even see the bios screen. The laptops normally, I don't hear any beeps while booting, just the fact that there is no display.
This laptop has a ATI M86 512MB graphics card. Its out of warranty.
Has any had similar experience. Is there any way to find out what the problem might be.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
Thanks

Hi Tama
Im afraid there is an serious hardware problem with your notebook.
I looks like the graphic card problem.
Usually if the internal display would be faulty, you should see everything on the external display. Therefore I think you GPU is affected.

  • 17" MacBook Pro Display stopped working

    Hello,
    I have a 17" 2.6GHz Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro (purchased January 2008) and the display stopped working today. There is no light behind the Apple logo on the back or the display. The little white light by the latch works as normal, and I can hear the disk spin up when I power it off and on using the power button.
    When I connect to an external monitor, there is no signal. When the machine is powered on, I can see the drive on the network. I have also tried booting up using an install CD as well, but no luck.
    Yesterday, I updated all my software applications and did all the Apple software updates, everything worked fine. I am still on Snow Leopard, version 10.6.8.
    Any suggestions? Is it toast?

    Went to the Genius Bar yesterday. It's part of the NVIDIA issue.

    They had the part in stock should be able to repair it in 1-3 days.

  • 23" studio display stopped working

    My 23" studio display stopped working with my mac pro but works with MBP.
    It started by not waking up everytime my Mac Pro went to sleep, but if I unplugged it and plugged it all back it and restarted it would come on however now the screen will not even come on. The power light is on and when I plug it into my MBP it works fine.
    I'm not exactly a tech whiz but could it be the graphics card? Which is currently - ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB
    It's out of warranty so before I trek down to the Apple store I thought I'd see if I can fix it myself.
    Any help would be appreciated thanks!

    Same for me, after having installed SL and allowing the computer to go to sleep. When trying to wake it up, the computer boots (at least it sounds so), but the display stays black. If in system prefs/energysaving/ I set the computer to "never sleep" but allow the screen to go asleep it works OK. As soon as the computer goes to rest it is impossible to get the screen working again, have to do a physical reboot. Works fine then......., but I really would like to use the energy savings prefs!
    I've looked into other threads of similar topics, did not find any clues. Judging by the number of threads, this is a well-known issue, waiting for to be answered by Apple.
    Suggestions?

    Hi
    I don't know if this will help but try please following: perform complete shutdown - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
    Start notebook again and press F12. There you should find option to enter BIOS settings. Enter BIOS settings and try to enable keyboard backlight there.

  • External Display Stopped Working

    I've been using an external Dell 19" monitor with my beloved and faithful Macbook Pro for years.  All of a sudden, I was unable to select the propert setting for the external monitor.  Two days later the monitor stopped working altogether when plugged into the Mac.  The Mac screen acts like the other monitor is working, but there's nothing on the external screen.  The Dell monitor tries repeatedly to turn on, but the power button repeatedly changed from amber to blue while saying it's entering power save mode and never turns on.  I've tried changing screen savers as recommended on another forum to no avail.  I also ordered a new mini-DVI to AVG connector in the hopes that is the issue.  I've confirmed that the Dell monitor still works fine by connecting it to my old PC, so that's not the issue.  Any advice is appreciated.  I read copy for a living and really need the larger display.  Thanks!

    Try doing a Parameter RAM reset - hold down command/option/p/r keys at start up and wait for three chimes before releasing the keys.

  • My ipod display stopped working

    thanks,

    If the iPod is dry
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    -If you still have the problem that indicates that the water damaged the iPod.

  • Unibody mac book display stopped working!!!! please help

    Hello all,
    My display has stopped working, my 13 inch mac book still start up fine and I can see the desktop very very light if I place the display in sunlight. the keyboard still lights up. what could be the problem, no apple care. worse case scenario?
    thank you

    If your warranty hasn't expired, bring the computer in to an Apple store and have the folks there take a look.
    All Macs come with a one-year warranty, and even if you have the aluminum unibody MacBook (the one without a Firewire port), you still have a warranty till sometime in October, so take advantage of it!

  • Rebel Xsi display stopped working will not take photo

    I have had this camera for a few years.  I took it with me and left it covered in the car (hot day) and now the display will not light up and the camera will focus on an object but will not take photo.  
    Would heat cause the display to stop working?  What can be done to possibly correct this issue?

  • Functional key's don't work on Satellite A300 (PSAG4E)

    Hello!
    I have notebook Satellite A300-PSAG4E
    I had installed WinXPPro sp3 on it. All great, but some troubles with keys appeared.
    First - 6 functional keys above main keyboard (1 - light(?), 2 - media player (?), 3 - play/pause, 4 - stop, 5 - prev, 6 - next) just change light when they pressed, but in OS there is no any action.
    Second - pressing Fn button and, for ex. F2 cause no action
    All drivers and programms was downloaded and installed from toshiba's support center. What info must I provide to solve this problem?

    Hey,
    What you mean exactly if you write about changing the light if you press the illumination buttons? Will the color be changed or what happens exactly on the notebook?
    Normally for the illumination buttons and XP you need Toshiba Control, Controls Driver, Utilities, etc.
    Using the FN+F2 combination you can change between different power profiles. Therefore you need Toshiba Power Saver that can be downloaded on the Toshiba page. Its a really tool where you can adjust all power and cooling settings.

  • USB stopped working on Satellite T230

    Hellow,
    I'm using Satellite T230 (Windows 7 64 bits) for about a month.
    Once one of the USB ports stopped working. USB-drives are not recognized at all, a mouse - the note just makes a repeat beep. That USB port doen't see a USB drive during start up.
    Everything works with another port.
    I tryed system recovery, BIOS update. Nothing helped.
    I'm really upset and don't know what to do.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi Yu_1,
    > I tryed system recovery, BIOS update. Nothing helped.
    System recovery means you have already reinstalled Windows from Toshiba recovery disk or HDD recovery?
    If yes I think you have already tried everything what you can do and it looks like a hardware malfunction :(
    So as next step contact an authorized service provider in your country and ask the guys for help. They can fix your problem. I think its mainboard issue because the USB ports are fixed on it.
    If your notebook is under warranty, the repair would be for free :)

  • TouchPad has stopped working in Satellite L300

    Hi Xaxer, hi there,
    as I dont know how to post a new topic, I just reply (I apologize for that way).
    The touch pad on my L300 has stopped working. (Vista 32 bit). Fn and F9 does not change anything.
    USB-Mouse works fine. Downloaded new touch-pad driver.
    Touch pad is not shown in the device manager.
    What should I do?
    Any idea?
    How can I check whether the tp-driver is installed properly?
    Thanks in advance.
    Heinz

    > How can I check whether the tp-driver is installed properly?
    Go to control panel -> mouse -> last tab (Advanced or Pointing device) -> Advanced button
    There you should see all touchpad settings.

  • System Settings - Display stopped working

    Whats up with that? A fresh arch install with KDE. Display settings worked in the begininng but now nothing happens when I click it. All other settings work. Last thing I did in display settings was to set up dual monitors with nvidia tool.

    There is a bug report for this over at Kubuntu. Maybe they'll come up with something other than disabling xinerama. (Or maybe that's where you got the idea?)

  • Touchpad button LED stopped working on Satellite P series

    I run the ccleaner 2.17 in the log function has stopped working and led to the play, stop, rewind ... " keys, between the two speakers.
    Can someone help me?

    Seems the CCLeaner cleaned some registry entries or values which are responsible for the Toshiba button functionality
    As Akuma said you could reinstall the VAP to get this issue solved but you could also set the OS to the early time point using the Windows system restore tool.
    I think this would be a faster workaround
