Equium P200-178 - backlight on the display has failed

A friend of mine has an Equium P200-178 and the backlight on the display has failed.
Unfortunately, the machine is three weeks out of its warranty and we are very, very far from a Service Depot.
Googling the problem indicates that the inverter may have failed but how do you get to it?
I have removed every screw that I can see on the case but it still won't come apart. I don't want to risk breaking it.
Any help very gratefully received!
Cheers.

Hi
The FL inverter is a small part which controls the screens backlighting and its placed near the TFT screen.
Usually its not advisable to disassemble such hi-tech notebooks because such procedure is tricky and you could damage other parts.
However, it seems you are already on the task and the notebooks covers are already removed.
Well, I googled a little bit and found this page:
[Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P205 display panel and removing LCD screen and inverter.|http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p205/take-apart-display-panel-1.htm]
Its about P205 but its very similar to the P200 notebook model.
But note; everything what you do is your own risk!!!!

  • Equium P200-178: 17" lcd screen has gone funny colours

    My 17" screen on my equium p200-178 has gone funny colours as if when looking at any pictures there is far to much saturation on the screen.
    I have plugged in an external monitor and that screen works fine.
    So i am going th have to change the screen.
    I need to know is do any of the other 17" laptops or notebooks use the same 17.1" WXGA lcd glossy screen that is ccfl with one back light, if so which models? and does any one know what the part number(s) are...
    Thanks

    Thank you very much PauPau for your brilliant reply. I have a very good friend who is more than competant to perform the work it was just a case of the fact that after an extensive trawl of the net i have found the 17.1 " screens for most of the other models in the 17" of satalite range and even the 17.3" for the satalite L550 at one stockist at sensible prices but they just dont list them for the Equium P200, where as most other stockists had listings for all the ranges of what seemed to be the same screens. Cheers very much.

  • Re: Equium P200-178 - What CPU for an upgrade?

    Hi
    I have Equium P200-178 Part Number PSPB2E-001002AV at the moment with Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2080 1.73 GHz 533 MHz, Id like to upgrade it but which one I can safely go with?
    I believe im after the same socket as this one is Socket M but what speed can I go with i dont want to overheat it cause ill be using the same cooling system.

    Hey,
    It has nothing to do with warranty Even if your notebook is out of warranty Toshiba doesnt support such an upgrade. You can upgrade the CPU of course but *everything happens on your own risk*!!!
    Equium P200-178 belongs to PSPB2E series and according the specifications of other PSPB2E models they were delivered with the Intel Pentium T2080 CPU only so I doubt another CPU would work
    Anyway, maybe you can find another P200 owner here that has already upgraded the CPU ;)

    Hi, While writing an email online using Firefox 3.6.3, I was using one of the "CTRL+left or right arrow" to move the cursor along the text. I must have pressed some other key because the display has become huge - and I can't scroll vertically or horizontally, which makes using the Mail pages of Hotmail impossible. I have since logged in using MSFT Explorer and it works fine. This problem occurs only on the Mail page of Hotmail Live not on the home page or others.
    Could you please let me know if this is a problem with Firefox, or if you have any advice on how to reset the appearance of Hotmail in Firefox?
    == This happened ==
    Just once or twice

    Wow, lightning fast and absolutely right!
    Thank you so much!

    I keep trying to update my mail inbox but keep being told connection to the server has failed.

    Quit the maill app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Your email account >Mail>Off. Restart the iPad and go back to settings and turn mail on again and see if that works.
    Or try this as well ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    i just tried to install the 11.4 update (or whichever one is the most recent update as of 1/26/2014) and when it failed i tried to install manually and now whenever i try to use it, i get the following error: "The application has failed to start because MSVCR80.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem." Right after i click ok i then get this error: "Itunes was not installed correctly. Please reinstall Itunes. Error 7 (Windows error 126)." I tried to uninstall Itunes and then reinstall the 11.03 version but that didnt work either. I want to know if i copy all of the music in my itunes folder to an external without consolidating can i still transfer all my itunes music from my current windows xp pc to a brand new one and have my current itunes library in my new pc? Basically i just want to know 3 things: What exactly does consolidating the itunes library do? Can i copy, paste, and transfer my itunes library to an external and from there to a new pc? Will i be able to transfer my itunes library without consolidating the files?

    I have found a temporary solution, allowing the previous version of iTunes (v. 11.1.3 (x64) in my case) to be re-installed.  It will allow you to re-establish use of iTunes until the Apple software engineers fix the most recent disasterous upgrade (v. 11.1.4).  Please see and follow the procedure in the following article:http://smallbusiness.chron.com/reverting-previous-version-itunes-32590.html   The previous version works beautifully.

  • Java.sql.SQLException: The TCP/IP connection to the host  has failed.

    Hello. I hope you had a happy new year! Now its back to work.
    I am having a problem connecting to a remote SQL Server DB. I am using NetBeans 5.5 and the latest J2EE. I am able to see the tables in the IDE and bind objects to data. But when I run it it gets this:
    java.sql.SQLException: Error in allocating a connection. Cause: Connection could not be allocated because: The TCP/IP connection to the host has failed. java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: no further information
    at com.sun.gjc.spi.DataSource.getConnection(DataSource.java:100)
    at com.sun.sql.rowset.internal.CachedRowSetXReader.connect(CachedRowSetXReader.java:344)
    at com.sun.sql.rowset.internal.CachedRowSetXReader.readData(CachedRowSetXReader.java:126)

    at com.sun.sql.rowset.CachedRowSetXImpl.execute(CachedRowSetXImpl.java:1428)
    I checked the SQL Server Configuration manager on that machine and TCP/IP connections are allowed. What else could be wrong?
    Thank You.

    "Connection refused" means that the client sends a packet saying "I would like to connect to port number NNNN please" to the server computer, and the server computer's OS sends the reply "there is no process listening to that port on the network interface you are using".
    The database server is not running, or running but not listening to TCP/IP connections, or at a different port from what you think, or listening to only selected network interfaces (it is possible for a process to listen to a specific interface or a wildcard for all interfaces). A less likely scenario is that a firewall is sending the "connection refused" message.
    First aid check list for "connection refused":
    - Check host name in connect string.
    - Check port number in connect string.
    - Try numeric IP address of server host in connect string, in case name server is hosed.
    - Are there any firewalls between client and server blocking the port.
    - Check that the db server is running.
    - Check that the db server is listening to the port. On the server, try: "telnet localhost the-port-number". Or "netstat -an", there should be a listening entry for the port. You need to configure the database to accept TCP connections; the server documentation or google should explain how.
    - Try "telnet server-host-name the-port-number" from the client, to see if firewalls are blocking it.
    - If "telnet" fails: try telnet with the numeric ip address.
    - If "telnet" fails: does it fail immediately or after an obvious timeout? How long is the timeout?
    - Does the server respond to "ping serverhost" or "telnet serverhost" or "ssh serverhost"?

  • Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed!(pavilion 20)

    Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed!(pavilion 20-b014 .  The machine came originally with windows 8. I upgraded to windows 8.1 and put new hard disk. So the hard disk is fine.  
    However if I turn the machine off for a day and start the next day I get the "Error: no boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed".   
    I made the hard disk the first to boot the machine will boot and works.  Is there a way to upadate the BIOS on 
    HP pavilion 20-b014? my bios version is  12/4/2012  v.8.09.
    I do not understand why the intermittment above error showing on and off.
    Please help. Thanks

    Hello @Samya,
    Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
    I understand that your desktop computer is giving you an error message stating that the boot disk could not be detected, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    To ensure that your hard drive you computer is trying to boot from is in working order, I recommend following the steps in this document on Testing for Hardware Failures (Windows 8). This should help determine if there is a fault with the hard drive. 
    If the hard drive passes all of the required tests, I recommend returning the BIOS back to its default settings by following this document on Recovering the BIOS. 
    Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Help My Iphone 3GS the hotmail has stopped working and my contacts and the calendar no longer hook up to it  it keeps saying the connection to the server has failed and it running the latest 5ios

    Hi please help I have an Iphone 3 G S it is using the  5.1.1 ios upgrade which it has had for sometime although there was a minor update last evening ? My phone worked fine until arround 1 pm today then it stopped getting mail from my hotmail account along with the hotmail I am not longer able to see any updates to my calendar and most of my contacts have dissapeared. I have tried reconfiguring the hotmail account, deleating it, and putting it back on, and changing the password but none of these has worked. I know hotmail is working from my computer and it also working from another app I downloaded to the phone just now ( mail pro)  but it still says connection to the server has failed?
    Thanks so much

    Click on your Hotmail account in Settings, click on the blue arrow and Forget this Network and try signing in again.

  • Ricoh Aficio MP C2051 Scan to Folder - Windows Server 2012 Error: Authentication with the destination has failed check settings

    I have recently upgraded a clients servers to Windows Server 2012 & since doing so have lost the ability to scan to folder.
    Both servers are domain controllers and previously on a 2008 domain controller I would have had to make the following change to allow scan to folder:
     Administrative Tools
     Server Manager
     Features
     Group Policy Manager
     Forest: ...
     Default Domain Policy
    Computer configuration
     Policies
     Windows Settings
     Security Settings
     Local Policies
     Security Options
     Microsoft Network Server: Digitally Sign Communications (Always)
     - Define This Policy
     - Disabled
    However I have applied this to the Windows 2012 server but am still unable to scan, possibly due to added layers of security in server 2012. The error on the scanner is Authentication with the destination has failed check settings.
    I have also tried the following at the server:
    Policies -> Security Policies
    Change Network Security: LAN Manager authentication level to: Send LM & NTLM - Use NTLMv2 session security if negotiated.
    Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) clients and uncheck the require 128 bit.
    Network security: Minimum session security for NTLM SSP based (including secure RPC) servers and uncheck the require 128 bit
    I have created a user account on the server for the ricoh and set this in the settiings of the Ricoh and verified everything is correct.
    Are there any other things I have missed?
