Garbled Screen & not consistent colours on Equium M40X-230

Hi, I have a M40X-230, a couple weeks ago I started to see a garbled screen where the colours were not consistent and the screen looked as if it was vertically chopped in 3 and all three parts were blending in and out of each other.
This lasted about 10-15 minutes and it persisted through reboot. However, this would not happen everytime the machine was used. After another week or so when the machine was started even the Toshiba splash screen is broken up as described above, this persists when in BIOS config (hit F12 at startup).
The machine is able to boot in safe mode but the same problem occurs and when an external monitor is attached the problem is seen on the attached screen as well.
Has anyone seen this before? Any advice, I am thinking it is my graphics adapter or maybe the LCD but really not certain.

Hi mate,
this sounds cleary like a hardware malfunction. If you have already the symptoms at the toshiba logo, then I would recommend you to contact urgently a ASP for a hardware checkup because this error cannot be resolved with an bios/software update.
Check this link for the nearest availabel ASP in your country:

Good luck and nice weekend

User manual for a Equium M40X-230?

Hi there,
The screen needs replacing on my Toshiba Equium M40X-230, and I've been looking for a online version (pdf) of the user manual for it (As it's second hand so I don't own any of the toshiba documents) I basically need it mainly for a insight of how the laptops screen is fitted, I was wondering if anyone can link me to it if they know of it's where abouts as I've checked the Toshiba website and my model isn't listed when I come to try and obtain it.
Thanks!
James

Thanks for the reply however, when it comes to selecting my model it is not listed. I can select the product series as M, but after that it doesn't have my model number listed.
Does this mean Toshiba do not have the user manual for my equium in a pdf format?
Thanks,
James

Equium M40x 230: display issue

My 2 week old equium M40x-230 with ATI x600 SE display adaptor has screen corruption problems at various times, in various programs. The screen will get 'snow'. It will redraw most of the time but sometimes freezes and will give BSOD pointing the finger at an infinite loop in ati2dvag.
I've reinstalled the display drivers which were the latest in any case and the BIOS is the latest 1.60 version.
Any ideas? Is this a case for warranty return?
Thanks
Ken

Hello Ken
It is really not easy to give you right advice but in my opinion you should back upr your data and reinstall the unit with recovery DVD. Please test the unit without installation of other applications. If the snow issue occurs again contact the service partner and let them check the unit.
If the problem occurs because of hardware malfunction the warranty will cover repair costs.

Equium M40x-230 - Lost dispaly driver

Hi, I'm new here.
I have had this Toshiba laptop model Equium M40x-230 for about 4-5 years now. The hard drive is getting full so I thought I'd delete some unwanted files. I did 2 things
1) uninstall some programs which I don't use any more
2) use disk clean-up to remove unused files.
I thought I knew exactly what I was deleting, but when I was done, I found the display had gone weird.
When I checked, i found it was showing only a default driver. Even worse, when I went to the Recycle bin to try and undo what I had done, there were no files in it.
I have tried doing a system restore, but that doesn't work.
I went to the Toshiba website and searched for drivers for my laptop. It found 2 options. I downloaded each of these and tried to install them. The first one (Intel) said my system did not meet the minimum requirements for installing the software. The other one (ATI) said the length of the specified directory path plus the installation folder name exceeds 88 characters and to shorten it?
Please can anyone help me get my display back to how it was. This is useable but looks awful and basic.
I know I'm a dummy so please be gentle with me.

Hi AnnieD,
Thats a typcial example that you should always know what you uninstall and which disk cleanup software you using. Such special software isnt always recommendable.
Anyway, it seems that your notebook is equipped with ATI card and therefore you need the ATI driver that you can download here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
Before you install the newest version, make sure that you have removed the old one. Have a look in control panel > Add/Remove programs. Remove the ATI driver/software and restart your notebook. Now you should be able to install the driver again. :)

Equium M40x-230 - Vidoes doesn't play continous

Since purchasing the Equium M40x-230 in 2005, it has never been able to play online or offline video continously, the video stops to load for a few seconds to a minute at roughly 10 to 20 second intervals. This occurs whether using itunes, windows media player, or winamp.
I have downloaded the latest version of Adobe flash, but I am uncertain that this is a fault with the notebook itself. The operating system has been re-installed a few times but the problem remains. I have not this problem on a newer toshiba netbook.
The System information is:
OS windows XP SP3,
Intel (R) Pentium (R) M Processor - 1.86GHz,
512 of RAM.
Graphic Card - unknown
I would appreciate any information that might lead to a solution for this.
regards,
je6543

Hi
I dont know which videos you are watching but maybe you have to install a new codec pack. Just use Google to find such codec packs.
Furthermore I recommend VLC media player. Its a freeware player that can play the most audio and video files. Its freeware! :)

2010 MBP i7 High Res - Video garbling, screen not refreshing

I'm having a problem with my 4 month old 15" MPB Core i7 High Res display. Sometimes when I am surfing in Safari, I'll navigate to a new page, but the center 1/3 of the last page I was on will remain on the new page, covering up the new page content with the old page.
Also, sometimes some images appear as blocks of garbled mess, especially when I quit safari and go back to the desktop such as the screen shot below. Graphics card issue? Often, I'll close Safari, and a chunk of the web page is still on my desktop, and it's all garbled up...it's like the graphics card isn't refreshing that area of the screen.
See example screen shot:
http://i53.tinypic.com/2dux4i.jpg

I am having the same problem with my i7 anti glare...it seems when I use safari and it has flash in the web page this problem occasionally occurs. If I turn automatic graphic switching off and then on it seems to work okay. I posted here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=12204904#12204904
Did you return the computer?

Frequent WLan disconnections on Equium M40X-230

My laptop suffers frequent disconnections from the internet and it is getting very annoying. Situation is the laptop connects wirelessly to the net via a Belkin router. The router is working ok, and I use Aol for ISP.
Our second laptop, also a Toshiba but a Sattelite A30-203 does not suffer the problems despite using the same router.
Both laptops have service pack 2 on and the M40 is mobile centrino whilst the Sattelite has a wireless adaptor card installed (also Belkin).
If I watch the connection speed it varies between 54mbps and 1mbps and still says that the signal strength is excellent no matter what the speed is.Does this mean the problem lies with the laptop or its settings, or does it need chipset drivers to be upgraded?
Any help would be appreciated as the slow performance especially when loading pages on the net is driving me daft.

Hi
You should know that there are different WLan standards which supports different properties.
The standards are 802.11 A, B or G. At this time the wireless 802.11 G standard supports the fastest connection.
The best combination is the using of the router and Wlan card which supports the same standard.
You have suggested that the Satellite A30 uses the Belkin WLan adapter. I assume there is the best compatibility between Belkin router and Belkin WLan card. Therefore you will get the best performance.
However, on your Equium you should check the WLan card properties. There you should find some options which could increases the card and connectivity performance.
Important: The power saving option should be disabled in the card properties. Try also to set the WLan range to the highest level.
Additionally its advisable checking the WLan card driver updates. If you use a Intel WLan card check the Intel page for updates.

Is this a video card problem on my Equium M40x-230?

I've come to turn on my laptop one morning and I get this nice screen:
http://img10.imageshack.us/img10/4330/image0026d.jpg
Something hardware related is up, im sure of it. Funnily enough I can still use the laptop with a external screen plugged in.
Any suggestions?

> I can still use the laptop with a external screen plugged in.
Then it sounds like an internal display failure.
But do you have this issue only on Windows or on BIOS too?
I think you should go to the nearest authorized service provider. The technicians can order a new internal display and exchange it for.
On the Toshiba website you can search for the nearest:

Equium M40x screen: warranty question

Hi,
I've only had my Equium M40x for a week or so and there is a very small fly that has managed to crawl under the display and die in the middle of the screen. It's not huge but it's very annoying, especially because I haven't been using it outside and I've only had it for such a short period of time.
Is this sort of thing covered under waranty? Any help appreciated.
[Edited by: admin on 17-Jul-05 20:11]

Hi Kevin,
I very much doubt if this will be covered by your warranty, since this is not a component malfunction or failure.
I would recommend contacting your original supplier and explaining the situation to them as a first course of action. They may well be happy to exchange the notebook for you.
Failing that, call you nearest Toshiba Service Agent and ask them to quote you for removing the dead insect. Obviously this can only be done by an authorised repairer or you will invalidate your warranty.
Best of luck

Colour Swatches not Consistent

I've been experiencing weird result when I copy a pattern from a illustrator file to another: the pattern would change the colours itself! Even when I save the original swatches of the colours and open them in the second file, the colours changed too!
Does anyone know why? Sometimes the colours are find but sometimes not...it seems the colour swatches are not consistent between the files...
Thanks!

Some colours of the pattern adopted the colours(swatches) of the other pattern I pasted previously.
The colours are "linked" to the swatches so I could change the colour just by adjusting the swatches. Placing the second pattern should create another complete set of swatches but it didn't. The problem is that the swatches were changed when placed in the second file and became complete different colours.
As you can see in the images I attached, the yellow stripes in the first image became white in the second one.
These patterns are imported from a disc of a pattern book I bought. They came as eps files. I wonder if that's related...
Thanks!

Equium M40X - Can not open IE7 or sent email

I am using WXP home SP3 and the latest Atheros AR5005GS Wireless Network Adapter on my Equium M40X, and have no problem with creating wireless
connections .
But when I connected on to my Wi-Fi, and try to open IE7 or sent email from my office 2007 outlook the *"Connect To"* window appears but as it only as my dial up connections are displayed I cannot open my IE7 etc, however I can connect to my firefox browser as it not the default
As I need to use both my dial-up & wifi can anyone help me sort out as to why I am having this problem.

Hi!
This is strange but have you installed all updates for your Windows?
Maybe you should reinstall the notebook with the Toshiba recovery disk or you have a virus or something else on your computer. Update your antivirus program and let it scan for viruses.

Metadata of Controller EMPTYVIEW Is Not Consistent.

Hi,
After upgrading NW04s from SP07 to SP11, one of my web dynpro for ABAP application gives the following error on execution.
I am also getting a system dump. I have checked all the necessary services in SICF & most of the required services are active. Does any one have some idea of how I can resolve this error.

[solved]Garbled screen with QT apps in Xfce/Gnome

After a big upgrade a few days ago I get a garbled screen whenever I focus a window with a Qt app in Xfce, like VLC or VirtualBox. If I focus (by clicking on titlebar/ or select from taskbar) a non-Qt app the screen returns to normal. I could not capture the screen corruption with scrot so I used a very crappy cam:
normal:
garbled:
I see no error messages in Xorg.0.log (or any other log). I don't know which configs /packages are relevant to post here.
update 1:
Someone with Gnome seems to have the same problem
update 2:
After restarting X VLC works without the problem, but when I start VirtualBox (archlinuxfr/virtualbox_bin 3.0.2-2) the problem reappears for both VirtualBox and VLC.
update 3:
Compositing seems to be involved. If I turn it off the problem disappears, not a real solution, but at least I can use my apps.
xorg.conf
Section "Extensions"
Option "Composite" "0"
EndSection
update 4:
Workaround is to downgrade both libgl and ati-dri to version 7.4.4-1 .
(see: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Downgrade_packages)

Might be an idea, but there are so many packages involved that could be the cause. B.t.w. I tried the aur/x86-video-radeonhd-git driver but that didn't help.
These were the upgrades after which the problem appeared. There are some packages that obviously have nothing to do with xorg but it must be one of these:

Equium M40X-189: How to connect RGB port to RS232 port?

Hi,
as you know the Equium M40X-189 P-M 730/XP has an RGP monitor port and does not have RS232 port.
Im working with Auto-titration device which require RS232 port for connection!
Any idea of how i can connect my notebook to this device!
pls help
thanks
Omrankl

Hi
As far as I know the RS-232 port is a serial port and I dont think that its possible to connect the RGB port to the RS232 port.
But I have found the useful website:
http://www.ontrak.net/usb.htm
There you will find a description how to connect the USB port to a RS-232 port.
You need a ADU interface.
Check the link.

How to get consistent colour prints from different Macs?

Hello Forum,
we are unable to get consistent colour prints from the various Macs in our office. There is only one printer, and for the sake of this discussion only one PDF file to be printed. The Macs have various OSes, from 10.4.11 up to 10.9.5; most are Minis of one vintage or another.
The printed results *should* IMHO be identical no matter which computer issues the "print" command, but they are far from that. Some computers print with a reddish tint, others with too little saturation or too much brightness (to put it in Photoshop terms).
What exactly must we do to get identical results no matter which computer does the printing?
Thanks in advance
John
p.s. May I just say what a ridiculous pain in the neck it is to have to choose from that list of purchasable Apple products aka communities? Some questions, like this one, do not belong in a single community or at least there is no community whose title describes our problem. I am uneasy filing it under "Mac Mini" because there is absolutely no reason to believe that the problem is a misbehaviour of *one* of our Minis. In the old days, when help was geared to users rather than to pushing the sale of further Apple products, there used to be forums with titles like "Printing problems".

Thanks for the suggest, which didn't solve the problem — because it wasn't a Mac problem at all. Acrobat Reader was getting the colours wrong! Setting "Print as image" in the Print dialog extensions solved it.
Resolved, case closed.
