No Warranty for LCD Pixel dead for a new Laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-EZ152​3

Hey,
I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-EZ1523 Laptop in Oct 2009. In January 2010 My motherboard went dead so I have sent the laptop to the Toshiba Depot Center initially they said they will repair it and send it within 3 - 5 Business day but they took nearly 15 days to ship it back.
Once I have received there is the big surprise. One of the pixel on my screen is dead and I tired calling the Toshiba customer care at 1-800-457-7777 and the transfer the call to Depot center which takes nearly 40 to 50 mins to get an engineer on the call for which we need so much of patients.
Today I requested to transfer the call to the Case Manager and when I told her about the problem she again tells me to call the depot and file a case with them and the UPS for the damage and she also mentioned that there is no warranty covered for the LCD Screen.
But when I shipped the laptop to the Toshiba Depot I don't had any dead pixels. Im tired calling Toshiba can anyone help me out.
Regards,
Prem.

I got problem with my Toshiba tecra A9 laptop. There is thick black line at the corner of LCD, I contacted 2 toshiba service centers but they paased me to the Toshiba support. They said that Toshiba will not pay us for LCD repair and asked me to call toshiba support and ask for their autorisation. I also called toshiba support several times, but they just make me confused. They said randomly some bizzare phrases: the service centers should aks us for autorisation no., LCD did not coverd by warranty, You made a physical damage, contact another service center, we will contact you within this business day...
The reason I have bought Tecra model was that toshiba called it as bussiness class, and offered a 3 years limited warranty!!! But the warranty is a whole fake to cheat with the clients. They even do not care about business and dont understand how our professional life is depends to our laptop. such a shame for them.
They pay some employees to talk with you several hours, just to deny their warranty and don't give you a good service!
I wonder how they calculate the repaire cost of LCD. I already find wensite which offer the LCD just for 95$. There are lots of replacement guide all over internet. I will suggest toshiba that I can service them for LCD replacement for as low as 150$. That would be a good business for me and a big deal for toshiba! At least Toshiba will not loose their clients.
From my side, I will start to aware all student around me at university to never trust Toshiba quality and warranty services and do not risk their professional life with the toshiba product and services! It seems that Dell is going to be the leader in customer services and hence in future market!

  • Suggestions for new laptop - Maybe Satellite Pro L550-17U

    Wasn't sure where to ask this so it's here in the General category.
    I'm looking for a replacement laptop with a few specific requirements. I can get most of them but the last one is proving difficult. So the requirements are:
    17" screen with at least 1600 horizontal resolution.
    Minimum of 4Gb RAM (8 would be nice)
    Run 64-bit Windows 7
    Bluetooth
    and finally, the cruncher:
    Supports Intel VT (Virtualization Technology)
    I thought the Satellite Pro L550-17U would be OK, but looking at the Intel site, it doesn't seem that the T6570 processor supports VT. And it would have to be supported in the BIOS anyway, and nothing in the spec says it will.
    Anybody able to provide any help please? I'd like to stick with Toshiba, as I've had such great reliability from them, but would consider other makes (sorry Toshiba) if that's the only option.
    Roger

    Thanks for your reply.
    In answer to your first question, as little as I can get away with:). I'm expecting to pay over 600GBP, but certainly won't go over 1000.
    As to your 2nd question, general office plus development work, and occasionally connecting to external screens for presentations. My aim is to run Windows 7 Ultimate with the current versions of MS Office, Visual Studio and Expression Studio and then upgrade those versions when the repacements are out, I also need to run older versions of Windows (XP, Vista) and Office (XP, 2003), hence the VT requirement.
    Going back to your other comment, what isn't 'best' about the L model? I was looking at specs and not really considering the model.

  • Satellite Pro L300 -software-service says I need update for graphics driver

    I downloaded the DesignByMe software from http://designbyme.lego.com/en-us/default.aspx
    The installation run without problems, but when I want to start the program it restarts over and over again. The picture doesnt load fully, instead there are black spots. I cant click on anything nor close to programm .I thought maybe the installing process didnot finish properly so I downloaded the software again but the problem is still the same. Im using a new Satellite Pro L300 28w with Windows 7 and Mozilla Firefox 3.6
    I contacted the lego support and they answered: "You most likely need to update your graphics driver. Please contact your computer manufacturers customer service or website for a free upgrade"
    Is this likely and if so which upgrad edo I need?

    Hi
    I dont know if updating your display driver can solve this problem but if the manufacture of the software says that its worth a try!!! ;)
    The update is pretty easy: Firstly download the latest version here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
    If you have downloaded the latest version, remove the old one firstly. Check the software list in control panel and follow the screen instructions. I assume you have to make one restart and after this you can install the downloaded version.
    Good luck! :)

  • Satellite Pro L300 1AI LCD screen backlight not working

    Hi All,
    I have a Satellite Pro L300 1AI running Windows Vista the computer boots up and works fine but the backlight on the screen does not appear to be working.
    Are there any settings in Vista that can affect this (other than the Fn key command on the keyboard and the settings in Control Panel)? Strangely it only seems to have happened since i installed Skype but I can't see how that could possibly affect it.
    Any help is gratefully appriciated...

    Hi
    Whats wrong exactly? Is notebooks display brightness too low?
    Do you see everything on the screen like behind a thick fog?
    Well, usually the FL inverter controls the display backlight and if the FL inverter starts to malfunction then you would get the problem like this one.
    There is no other solution as to replace this FL inverter.
    Its a tiny part behind the display frame I think its a job for an ASP technician

  • Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9E) - need wireless drivers for Server 2003

    Hi all,
    I have put server 2003 on my new laptop for a university project. Ive got everything to work except for the wireless. Ive tired the latest drivers from the support site for this laptop but they have not worked.
    Does anyone know if there are any drivers for my wireless card so that it will work on server 2003? Or how can I find out exactly what wireless card I have in the machine as I have been told it may not be a Intel card it could be a Atheros card?
    Thanks

    Hello Jack
    Server 2003 is not supported on Toshiba notebooks and you must try to find it somewhere on the net.
    According the notebook specification your Satellite Pro has REALTEK 802.11(B/G) 13CH-RTL8187B WLAN card.

  • What is the process for reinstalling my product to a new laptop?

    Hello,
    I purchased  Adobe Acrobat Professional version 9 Win on Dec 2, 2011.It was installed in my old laptop and now want install it in my new laptop. How to go about this, just want to know the process for re installation. Is the installation restricted to only one laptop?
    Thanks.
    Honory

    Hi honorary2009_mangi,
    You need to deactivate the software from the older machine before installing it on the new machine else it will increase the activation count.
    To deactivate the software you need to launch Acrobat, go to 'Help' menu and select 'Deactivate'
    Please refer : Activation & Deactivation Help
    As per the End User License Agreement (EULA), a retail license is good to be installed on 2 computers.

  • Which graphics card is needed for CS3 to run on a new laptop?

    Hi - I'm shopping for a new laptop and would like to install my CS3 software onto it. At the moment I've decided on a customized HP 8570P with these specifications:
    1600x900 display
    700 GB disk drive
    2 main memory slots with one 8 MB SIMM for now with the option to increase to 16MB in the future.
    My question is: should I go with the Intel HD Graphics 4000 card or the AMD Radeon HD 7570M? I plan to upgrade to CS6 in about 6 months but would really like to get CS3 up and running on the new laptop before then. The programs I use most are illustrator and photoshop. Thanks in advance for your help

    I agree with Chris.
    While Intel makes good chips, their video driver support has been historically weak. Now, with greater concentration on the graphics chips, things might improve. However, until there are many reports of such support, I would stay away from embedded Intel graphics chips personally.
    ATI/AMD and nVidia do a very good job, with new drivers almost every month for current OS's and cards.
    Good luck,

  • Satellite Pro L300 - Cannot install software for USB 3.0 Expresscard

    I am trying to install an AKE USB 3.0 expresscard to a Toshiba Pro L300 running Windows 7. The laptop recognises the expresscard but the software does not install correctly so the unit will not work.
    Have tried the NEC & Fresco drivers supplied with the unit and also tried other drivers for AKE downloaded fron internet but still no joy.
    Has anyone ever loaded in software for a USB3.0 expresscard successfully? Will the laptop take USB 3.0?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    If the software doesnt install correctly try to contact card manufacturer and ask for help.

    Hi mate
    First of all thanks a lot
    Ive got a U400 and I have installed a Intel graphic card driver from the Intel page too.
    I didnt execute the exe file but I updated my driver in device manager.
    This worked fine.
    Also I read here in the forum that drivers from external pages can be used only at the own risk because such drivers are not tested and not certified by Toshiba
    However, my U400 run trouble free till now.

  • DVD for Satellite Pro 4600 ?

    I checked the forum and tech support for my satellite pro 4600. I remember in the past it was possible to upgrade the standard cdr with another (cdrw and/or dvd and/or dvdrw) Which dvd-rom must I look for to upgrade ?
    Thanx !
    Additional info:
    toshiba satellite pro 4600
    model no: ps460e-020s7-du
    ser. no: 61282447G SS460-0
    Barcode: I61282447GSS460-020s7DUK
    specs: PIII-700/384(128)/20G(10G)/14T/C/LM/W
    (between () is the original equipment)

    Update:
    Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 has 2 controllers:
    HD is Primary Master
    Teac CD224e (cdrom) is Secondary Master (right?)
    When I put in Nec ND6500a (which is obviously set to CS-Master) the bios says nothing attached to the Secondary Master (the 2-dary master-controller even disappears in bios/OS)
    I noticed reading several fora (and this thread) the ND6500 can bet set to:
    CS-Master
    CS-Slave
    Fixed Slave.
    Obviously I need Fixed Master (or am i wrong?)
    Is it possible or not to set the ND6500A to (secondary) Fixed Master or not ? Or should I return the drive ?
    Anyone any suggestions on altenative drives ?
    SD-R6572 ?
    SD-R6472 ?
    SD-C2612 ?
    SD-R2412 ?
    SD-C2302 ?
    SBW242U QSI ?
    Please help !
    Finally: Please consider drives that are also capable of reading DVD +/- R(W) disks, like the Toshiba SD-C2732 (but if it works on my sp4600:i'm not sure)

  • Top 5 best SOLID background colors for LCD?

    What are the top 5 best SOLID background colors for LCD?
    - Best for display ENDURANCE.
    - Best for lower ENERGY consumption.
    - Best for lower display TEMPERATURE.
    Black? Dark blue? Dark green? Dark red? White?
    Any Internet link supporting such claims?
    Thanks.

    1. In my experience, the white color wears out LCDs with time. For instance, the top main Finder menu of the Apple Cinema Displays shows white all the time with Mac OS X, and wears out with time (several years). You can see it when the Mac is booting and such area is shown darker. Actually, it has usually being recommended to use a full solid black background as the best screen saver to increase the LCD useful life.
    There can be image burn-in with LCDs, but Apple says it can be fixed
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=10639>
    <http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88343>
    (They recommend white for fixing it.)
    2. So, if your argument is correct, it seems that solid white is the best color for lower energy consumption,
    White won't reduce the energy consumption, but the display should run slightly cooler since it is radiation more light, instead of adsorbing it.
    but solid black or a dark color could be better to increase LCD useful life.
    It seems that it the black that burns-in (since they recommend a white screen to fix it), but not permanently.
    3. Last but not least, the "Apple/System Preferences/Displays/Brightness" set at 50% or lower will also increase the LCD useful life (the less brightness, the better).
    Don't forget to set display sleep in "Energy Save" system preference. Reduced brightness will make the backlight last longer, but won't affect burn-in Display sleep will help both.
