Glass cleaner inside screen Satellite L755=5246

I was cleaning my laptop screen and some of the cleaner got inside my screen......should I just let it be and dry out? it is staining a bit of my bottom left corner

I would make sure that it is COMPLETELY Dry prior to turning the power back on. I have seen the backlight fail prematurely from having glass cleaner sprayed directly on a screen. Always ensure that you spray the RAG first and only use enough glass cleaner to get it clean.

Toshiba Satellite L755-S5306 Blue Screen of Death BSOD

If you are having “The Blue Screen Of Death” (BSOD) with a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5306 you are not alone. Please leave a comment in hopes enough of us can find each other and come up with a more permanent solution than the work around I present here. As of the day this was posted there was nothing index into Google or Toshiba’s forums regarding a Toshiba Satellite L755-S5306 having a BSOD problem.
Unfortunately I don't have an answer or solution so much as a troubleshooting alternative and that is to install Ubuntu 11+. I would rather use windows7 but the fact that Ubuntu runs without crashes indicates that my problem is a Windows 7 software issue. Windows7 is conflicting with either the hardware within my computer or some pre-installed factory software.
This laptop is new (it has only been out of the box for 3 months), has an i3 processor, 4GB of RAM and is still under warranty; until Sept. 10, 2012. I have yet to contact Toshiba but will. Within the last month (Feb. 2012) I started to get multiple BSODs out of no where. These were the following error messages:
1. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Caused By Driver : luafv.sys
2. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Caused By Driver : Ntfs.sys
3. SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
Caused By Driver : ntoskrnl.exe
4. PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA
Caused By Driver : ntoskrnl.exe
5. KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED
Caused By Driver : partmgr.sys
You can see my full BSOD error reports here: CLICK HERE
I have done all of the following hoping to solve this issue with no luck:
1. Re-formated computer with factory shipped disk. Five Minutes after I did this I got the BSOD. That definitely eliminated the idea that it was something I had installed or that it was a windows update conflict.
2. Got all window updates. That didn’t help.
3. Checked all drivers manually one by one through the device manager for updates; according to the Device Manager there was no updates.
*However, this is the only area of hope that I have. I downloaded the program Drive Max and it list several drivers as outdated. I can only download two a day and install them. After I have them all installed I will report back as to whether or not I have a BSOD.
4. Updated BIOS. Toshiba did have a BIOS update available but the update did not fix my BSOD problems. I have seen on this forum many people have had problems with the BIOS but I have not.
5. Ran window's memory diagnostic tool. It reported no errors.
60 I also ran Ubuntus memory test and passed.
7. Check Disk with no errors
After all those failed attempts I took to the Internet. That is when I ran across a post online where a person stated they had the same problem with a similar Toshiba laptop and switched to Ubuntu. After doing so they had no problems. I did the same and agree I have no issues after one week. So I hope this helps for now. If anyone has this problem or finds a windows based solution please leave a comment.

Thank you all for your help.
Since I reformatted every time I have booted up I have turned on the Windows memory diagnostic too. I did this in hopes that if a BSOD occurred it would catch something when it rebooted and today it did after an extended memory test.
I got the standard message, “Hardware problems were detected...Test results will be displayed again after you log on”, however no test results were ever displayed. Does anyone know if there is a way to manually find the results of the test? Also, I ran the test again to see if I could get the results and the second time it said there were no problems detected.
At this point I am suspecting it to be a faulty stick of RAM. Windows 7 utilizes about 1.25GB of ram when booted and Ubuntu 200MB. This very well could be why Ubuntu works without problems.
I have to write a business plan in the next few weeks and cannot send my laptop in until that is done. So I will continue to use Ubuntu until done with my plan and then contact Toshiba. I will post back with any information I get in regards to the problem and once again thank you all for your help.

I sprayed glass cleaner directly on my mac book pro screen. Will the screen be permanently 'spotted'????

Sprayed glass cleaner directly on my mac book pro screen - will the screen be permanently 'spotted'????

No chemicals should ever be sprayed on the screen of a Mac - they have coatings that can be damaged. Only use plain water, on a clean cloth that is only slightly damp and do not wipe over the edges of the glass.
How much damage was done depends on what kind of cleaner was used and how much was sprayed on.

I cleaned my screen with method glass and surface cleaner and now the color is off. What can i do?

I cleaned my screen with methid galss and surface cleaner and now the color is off on my screen...What can I do?

Clean it again, very carefully with a cloth dampened with water only (NOT WET), if it will not come back to normal you can have the screen replaced by Apple, this will not be under warranty.
From now on just use a damp (NOT WET) cloth and a lot of care.
Never spray on the screen, always have the iMac off when cleaning with any kind of conductive fluids (water)

Dust / lint inside screen. How do I get it removed?

I keep my phone in my pocket and after about a half a year there is lint inside the screen. There is no cracks in the screen or casing but some how lint seemed to work it's way between the glass and LCD screen. This isn't affecting the performance it's just annoying. Any solutions or estimates on what it would cost to be cleaned?

You can't clean it. If the phone is still under warranty, you can make an appointment at the Genius Bar and they may replace the phone.

Satellite L755-S5255 display problems

Hello everyone.
I have a problem with my laptop - Satellite L755-S5255, which is less than one year old.
The display sometimes randomly shuts off and there is no other way to revive the computer except for turning it off and then on again. I should mention that the whole computer becomes dead. When I watch a movie and the display shuts off, the movie stops playing and all I can hear "bzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz" (or something similar). After I restart it, sometimes I get pink dots all over the screen, which won't disappear until the next restart. After the problem appears and I turn the laptop off, I often have to restart it several times to resume working on it - the display shuts off again and again before the "Log In" screen. After 3 or 4 restarts everything is OK again. It boots fine into safe mode.
I have tried reinstalling videocard drivers (clean install from safe mode), and an upgrade from Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate also didn't help (not that I was trying to fix the problem with that, I just got a chance to install it). I thought that this is just a hardcore version of the BSOD, but no, the Event Viewer doesn't show anything (except for "The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.)
I don't know if the problem is in hardware or software. Would please help me to solve it? Thank you.

Hi and thank you for your answer.
When I don't use it all, it works without problems.
It doesn't happen every time I actively use it. Sometimes I will open a browser and it will shut off. Sometimes I wil try to lauch a movie and it will shut off. Most often this happens when I use a flash-based mp3 player (but it doesn't appear to be a problem with the plugin itself, because as I said it doesn't have to be launched for the computer to shut off).
When I tried safe mode, it worked without problems. But then again, I didn't work in the safe mode for a long time and the screen shuts off so randomly.
Thanks.

Dust inside Screen, any experiences (and my story)?

I have a late 06 17" MBP that has exhibited dust inside the screen for about 6 months now. I haven't had a good time to take it into the apple store until yesterday (since I knew it would have to be sent off and I'd be without for a week or so). I know its dust and not dead pixels because of the fact that when it first happened, if I closed the screen and walked around with it in my bag, the spots would have moved when I reopened, some would appear farther up the screen, some closer to the bottom, and maybe sometimes 1 or 2 of them would disappear. All in all when I took it in, I had about 20 or so spots that make looking for dust in my Canon 1Ds pics, a frustrating practice at best.
So anyway, I make an appointment and speak to a Genius, he sees the issue clearly, and of course says he'll have to send it off, but tells me that they may not cover this and call me with a quote to replace the screen, but he'll write it up as if its covered and see if they come back with something different.
What I don't get is how this could not be covered. I've owned several laptops, for years, 2 dells, an IBM, a 17" sony vaio, 2 gateways, a toshiba, etc, etc, etc, pretty much all laptops for the past 10 years in my house. NONE of these have ever done this, all obviously in the same environment. How could this not be a defect thats covered under my apple care agreement (expires 1 year from this December)? But I'm getting ahead of myself, as far as I know at this time, it will be covered, but I will keep this thread up to date.
Here is what the Genius wrote down for my order:
A. Customer Issue(s): Small dark spots at the bottom middle of screen
B. Steps to Reproduce: Verified at the bar
C. Troubleshooting: N/A
D. Time to failure: N/A
E. Unsuccessful Fixes Attempted: N/A
F. Cosmetic Condition at Genius Bar: Slight dent on back left corner and screen does not sit flush
G. CS Code Number: N/A
H. Configuration: MBPRO 17/2.33/2G/160/256VRAM/SD-DL (even though I have 3gb in it, but not from the store that way)
I. Password: N/A
J. UserName: N/A
K. Known Liquid Damage(Y/N): None evident
L. Other Notes: N/A
I know I've seen other posts about this dust inside screen issue, has anyone ever been denied a repair for this while under warranty?
And one more question, apparently these LCD units are not factory sealed? If this dust came from my environment, and did not originate from within the panel (thus not covered), is there anyway (if it comes back not fixed) that this could be cleaned out? I mean if it gets in there, there has to be a way to get it out right? I hope to write back soon with good news that its all covered, but just in case I might as well start looking at options, (geeze I'm such a pessimist)
I'd love to hear if anyone has any similar stories.
Thanks!

That seems logical. If there is some small opening in the bottom to allow air to get inbetween the top and a lower layer inside the lcd panel, then it might not be possible to open it up to clean it out. I'm hoping that if its not fixed by apple, that there might be a way to do just that, regardless or risk of breaking the display. If I did break the display, I'd have to buy a new one, and if they don't fix it I'll have to buy a new one, so either way... I might just have to be the first to try such a thing, who knows, might be able to fix it myself...
And as far as being negative, no worries, I'm negative enough for all of us, or should I say scared my favorite laptop ever (and most expensive) won't be fixed...

Satellite L755-16J - Trouble with sound card

I currently own a Toshiba *Satellite L755-16J* and it is having some sort of trouble with the sound card, i think.
When i bought it, it came with windows 7, i changed the windows to windows 8 and since then the audio has been troubling me.
The internal speakers work for a minute or two when i play an audio file but then stop working.
i had been using an external usb soundcard and external speakers for some time but decided to switchback to windows 7 for the sound to work properly again. even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
I am quite sure that the problem is not in the internal speakers because they do work, although just for a brief moment but they work, so i am guessing the problem is in the software instead of the hardware.
i tried updating the sound drivers but they seem to be up to date, according to windows the drivers "seem to be working properly"
Can anyone help?

> even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
How did you do that?
Did you use the Toshiba Recovery Disk in order to install Win 7 or did you install the Win 7 using fresh and clean Windows 7 disk?
The notebook supports Conexant sound chip. The sound driver is available on the Toshiba EU driver page and in case the sound chip is already recognized in device manager after the sound driver installation, I assume the driver has been installed properly.
In such case I would recommend you to connect the headphones.
In case the headphones would function properly, the speakers might be affected. I mean the hardware. But of course its only an idea.
Beside the headphone check, you could check also the settings within the control panel -> sound -> playback tab.
Usually the speakers should be set as default device.
Check this option too.

What is an effective but safe way to clean the screen of my TouchSmart 610?

Need to get the fingerprints and smudges off!

Regular glass cleaner will be fine, just spray it on to a soft cloth and then use the soft cloth on the screen.

If you haven't burned a Windows 7 System Repair disc, download one by scrolling down to the link Windows 7 System Repair Disc 64-bit here.
Create a Windows 7 System Repair Disc
Then try a Startup Repair and a System Restore from the Windows Recovery Environment.
What are the system recovery options in Windows 7?
Let us know how it goes.

Clean the Screen with alcohol???

Does anyone know if it is safe to clean the screen with an alcohol prep pad? I'm a bit of a germ freak. I've cleaned all my other phones and they have been fine. I just wasn't sure about the touch screen.
Message was edited by: r41pi

i have a great way to clean the screen. have had my phone for 4 months and it looks as good as new. every evening i take a regular handtowel, wet the corner with water, squeeze out the excess, and rub the screen. then i take a dry part of the towl and rub it again. it cleans it completely and perfectlyly. as i said, my screen looks as good as new.
i also use one of the leatherette eyeglass holders, slipsleeve style to hold my ohone when not in use. i cut off about two inches of the top, re-sewed it and it works great as protection when the phone is not in use. the inside is a felt type material and protects the screen nicely.

Clean the screen !!!

TIP THe touch screen was slow-sluggish I cleaned the glass and it made an immediate difference lol didn't think it would.... so try it and see... the top screen is glass so you can use optical glass cleaner or the like... it really did make a big difference ... my stylus went missing on day one so I have been using my fingers , so the screen got dirty./smeared it didn't look dirty but obviously it was....

Hello,
Thank you for your post.
Great tip, thank you for sharing.

Virus damaged Satellite L755-17Q - now can not load

Satellite L755-17Q
I accidentally downloaded a virus, this virus I believe then turned off my computer, and now once I try to load it, the Toshiba screen appears, but then the screen goes black with just a small bar flashing in the top left corner. I gave this program administrator rights as I thought it was safe. Now I cannot use my laptop, what should I do?
All help is appreciated.
PS I am rubbish with computers.

I've misplaced my recovery disk for that laptop, but will a recovery disk for a Satellite L500-19X be sufficient? I've used it before on that laptop however, windows was not genuine, along with there being no network driver thing, so I couldn't connect to the internet.
The only real difference that I could detect between the two was 32bit and 64bit which of course I don't have a clue what they are.
If you can, could you please give me a link to where I can download the necessary network driver along with the instructions on how to download it onto my computer. All help appreciated.
PS I would have given you the helpful/correct answer thing, but I am unaware of how to give you it.

What to clean the screen with?

I just got a new Imac..first time having a MAC Computer...what do I use to clean the screen with?
Thank you for all the help.

See How to clean Mac products for information about cleaning your Mac, display, keyboard, mouse, and more:
iMac
To clean the display on your iMac, first shut down your iMac and unplug the power cord along with other connected devices. Next, dampen the cloth that came with your iMac—or another clean, soft, lint-free cloth—with water only, and then wipe the screen. Do not spray liquid directly on the screen.
Displays
Don’t use window cleaners, household cleaners, aerosol sprays, solvents, alcohol, ammonia, or abrasives to clean the display.
Warning: Don’t clean the screen with a cleaner containing alcohol or acetone. Use a cleaner intended for use with a screen or display. Never spray cleaner directly on the screen. It may drip inside the display and cause damage.
