Satellite 5105 and 5205 exhibit bad video output (US)

The external video's good on the 5105.
The LCD image will not give a complete picture. The bottom third is either whited out or replicates the top third of the image. I most likely see a white or grey washout. This happened upon startup, too.
I replaced the LCD with another from a defunct 5205. This time, only the top third shows an image. The bottom 2/3 seem to be blacked out.
Also, the Toshiba Spalsh screen logo does not appear upon startup (perhaps that's because it's in the blackout area).
I haven't verified the condition of the 5205 LCD. I also neglected to connect this laptop to external video when I used the
5205 LCD.
I just want to confirm the video cable needs replacing.
I would like to know how to completely detach the palm rest from the bottom chassis. I've been reading the instruction provided by the sticky thread. I get stuck at the point where the palm rest has detached except for the "top" area around the speakers. Better yet, what cables should I detach before completely detaching the palm rest?
Once that's done, I plan to replace the video cable, but I also see what looks like a metal shield in the middle of the laptop. Any thoughts on addressing that, too?

Then the bottom got progressively worse: http://img29.imageshack.us/i/toshiba510502.jpg/
and kept going: http://img196.imageshack.us/i/toshiba510504.jpg/
and going: http://img262.imageshack.us/i/toshiba510503.jpg/
Then I rebooted the 5105: http://img196.imageshack.us/i/toshiba510505.jpg/
The 5205's even more colorful!

I'm afraid I neglected to test the external video on the 5205.
I also posted this on Notebook Review.
Thanks for reading!

Irisvista was the place where I obtained directions to extract the palm rest, but it did not address any particular issue with the back of the palm rest around the speakers. I'll check again to ensure that all screws have been removed, but if so, I'll still need more direction about how to completely remove that palm rest.
Chips soldered onto the motherboard can still be soldered in a ball-grid-array. This is important to me as the ball grid array has been the culprit of the XBox 360 RRoD, the iBook (G3) video problem, and some well documented problems with certain Sony Vaios. If these Toshibas also featured the BGA, then I maybe able to use methods and techniques to fix it, similar to those for the aforementioned products.
Thanks for replying!

  • Satellite P300D - No picture through S-Video output

    Hi!
    I can't get picture through my S-video output on TV. VGA and HDMI works ok, but my TV is older and I don't have that kind of inputs on TV.
    The laptop recognizes TV over the cable, but I can't switch between primary and secondary display.
    (satellite P300D-12L)

    Hi
    Listen dude;
    First of all you have to choose s-video channel on your TV.
    Check the TV settings!
    Before you would start any video application, you have to choose TV output pressing FN + F5
    If video playback software like WinDVD is already running, then you would not be abele toggle between TV and notebook display so firstly switch to TV and then start the software.

  • Bad Video Output -- with example

    I've seen several people complain about the poor quality of the video output from FCE and this is something I've experienced myself so I'd like to find a solution. When people make these posts about quality, the usual response is that there must be some sort of user error or bad input. If that's the case, then the "correct" way to convert video remains a mystery to many of us. Let's shine some light on that dark corner...
    To wit, here's a sample screen capture showing the original .MOV file from my camera on the left and the output of FCE on the right:
    http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=5215575
    Clearly something went awry in the conversion process, but it's nothing I've done explicitly. Perhaps you can help me identify what did go wrong, why it went wrong, and how to avoid it in the future.
    First some details.
    The original input file (on the left) came from a Canon SD700-IS camera and was put through a File|Save As process in Quicktime Pro to make it a proper .MOV file. Viewing the video clip within FCE, it looks just as good as the source version.
    But once I've exported the entire sequence to a file, the video looks kinda crappy -- like in the frame on the right. Part of the issue is stretching the source 640x480 to NTSC 720x480, but beyond that it looks like the compression was done very poorly. Things are just a LOT blurrier and there's very little contrast.
    The bottom line is -- what are some of us just simply not seeing.
    Cheers,
    ALF

    Hopefully this helps explain my understanding better...
    I'm familiar with MJPG, but the video is not MJPG when I put it into FCE. The picture on the left has already been converted by Quicktime.
    While MJPG is a series of JPG images and each individual JPG image is compressed slightly (I don't do lots of compression in the camera), the point I was making is that each of these frames is a key frame. When QT or FCE or anything else converts such a file it has a WEALTH of information to use and therefore image quality shouldn't degrade.
    One of the things I don't understand is the insistence that upsampling is occurring. While FCE may indeed be upsampling, it SHOULD NOT BE because I've centered the input video within the 720x480 DV frame. No scaling need occur.
    This is akin to making something smaller than 720x480 in After Effects, for example, and importing to FCE as an overlay for something. There should be no quality degradtion because that's not being scaled to 720x480 either -- it's just a small part of the screen.
    There also isn't an issue with frame rate because, as I mentioned, the source video is 30fps. Any suggestion otherwise is assuming 15fps for the source video, which is incorrect.
    The only thing that leaves as a factor is interlacing -- the source video is most certainly not interlaced. So as I understand things right now, the loss in video quality I've seen is due to artifacts introduced by interlacing and delta-compression. Because I've seen lots of example of delta compression which don't look this bad, I'm hoping there's some way I can tweak the amount of compression or something. Not much I can do about interlacing, though.
    As to the camcorder issue, the reason I said it's not germane is because it's the data that's important rather than where it came from. I could just as easily get a 640x480 Quicktime, AVI, or MPEG file as source and see the same type of degradation (I've done it).
    The problem is how FCE treats 640x480 (or anything less than 720x480) video. By default it does indeed upscale to fill the full DV frame. But it also provides the ability to drop smaller video onto part of the frame as well as the ability to scale video within the frame.
    So if FCE is putting my 640x480 video through a scaling process to place it as a centered 640x480 image in the 720x480 frame, and scaling that again for DVD out put, then yeah I can see where degradation would occur. I just don't believe it should be doing that first scaling.
    I also don't understand why interlacing would cause so much degradation, but as has been said it could be the combination of that and the (unnecessary) scaling.

  • Thin white and black lines on video output

    I loaded a packaged project to make some changes.  (The project was packaged with a different computer than my current. Everything looks clean within Premier.  I’m outputting standard Vimeo settings.  One of the GoPro clips exports with come-like white lines that cover the screen.  Cuts before and after are from the same camera, but do dot display any such problems.  The project originally outputted just fine.  I originally used neoscene to uncompress the footage.  I even ran the original footage through neoscene again, but not change.   Suggestions?   
    Windows 7  -  Premiere CS4 -  GoPro footage  -  Cineform Neoscene codec

    Thanks Jim.  I fixed the problem.  I'm not sure what the cause was, but when I re-uncompressed the file using GoPros free software, the files outputed clean again.  

  • How can I do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder which does not have firewire out/input? it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite RCA output?

    I need to do live streaming with a Mac Book Pro 2011, using a new model of Sony HD camcorder (http://store.sony.co...ber=HDRAX2000/H) ..this camcorder model does not have firewire out/input ..it comes only with a component video output, USB, HDMI and composite A/V video output..
    I wonder how can I plug this camcorder to the firewire port of my laptop? Browsing on internet I found that Grass Valley Company produces this converter http://www.amazon.co...=A17MC6HOH9AVE6 ..but I am not sure -not even after checking the amazon reviews- if this device will send the video signal through firewire to my laptop, in order to live streaming properly? ..anyone in this forum could help me please?
    Thanx

    I can't broadcast with the built in iSight webcam... how would I zoom in or zoom out? or how would I pan? I've seem people doing it walking with their laptops but that's not an option for me... there's nothing wrong with my USB ports but that's neither an option to stream video because as far as I know through USB you can't connect video in apple operating systems ..you can for sure plug any video cam or photo camera through usb but as a drive to transfer data not as a live video camera...  is by firewire an old interface developed by apple that you can connect all sorts of cameras to apple computers... unfortunately my new sony HDR-AX2000 camcorder doesn't have firewire output...

  • My new (2 weeks old) Macbook Pro, wont send video output signal to beamer... What can I do?  I have the adapter to vga but it does not work...

    Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro and I dont get video output to a beamer although I have the regular
    Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and it works fine with my older MacBook...
    Thanks a lot for your tips...

    That should work. When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
    In SystemPreferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
    Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
    If you also want audio you'll need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable

  • No video output to ext monitor in rehearsal mode

    (My whole presentation is made up of video and stills)
    Hi, when I'm in rehearsal mode (Keynote 6.5.2) i cannot get full screen video output to my ext monitor.  It is only a black screen. In 'play mode' the presentation plays fine and it will give me full screen video but then i have no control of the presentation as it just plays out to the length of the clips used in each slide. I managed to save as a Powerpoint presentation which allowed me to use the play function and control it manually but i could not see the current slide playing in the presenter display. It also wiped all my trimming settings of the videos i am using.
    Is there a way to run my presentation in rehearsal mode and have full screen video outputed to an external monitor and see my current slide playing on my presenter display.
    My whole presentation is video and stills.
    I am using an iMac, 2.9GHz i5, 8GB Ram, OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
    Thanks in advance
    Jason

    if i use an iPad to control it gives me full control to advance on click
    Please clarify;   you use the iPad remote control feature to advance manually a presentation on your Mac, or you are playing the presentation on your iPad.
    Did you create the presentation on the Mac yourself and what version of Keynote did you use?
    Try this test:
    create a new blank presentation then drag and drop (do not copy and paste) four slides on to the navigator panel in the blank presentation
    the Navigator panel is the view of slides in a column on the left hand side of the canvas.
    check the settings are set for manual play as I described before:
    Inspector  > Document > Document > Presentation Type:     change to Normal
    select all the slides in the navigator then;    Inspector > Animate > Start Transition:     change to On Click
    click the video on the slide then;     Inspector > Animate > Build In > build order button > change drop down menu to:  on click
    if the presentation plays manually, drag and drop the remaining slides over.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and CC with bad quality and incorrect colors in output video

    Hi everyone!
    I'm frustrated with my results after exporting a video with Adobe Premiere Pro (both CS6 and CC).
    The color of the video output is slightly different to the original file (i've checked if it was a problem with my video player, but no, i've tested the video with WMP and others with no success).
    Also the video quality is a little bad compared to the original file (i even tried to use frame blending once).

    I'm exporting the video using almost the same parameters from the original file.
    Here's a screen shot of my settings in Premiere:
    As you can see in the printscreen, the settings only differ from the original file parameters in the bit rate (which i raised a little),
    the TV standard (which i have no ideia what it changes), the level of H.264 (which i raised from 4.0 to 4.1, 5.0 and 5.1), and the bit rate encoding (which i've tried using CBR, VBR 1, and VBR 2).
    Just for my curiosity...why these numbers in orange are so extensive? I mean, the original video is only 01:35:30:06 in final output (which is correct).
    Notice that i do not use key frame distance (as i don't know what it does).
    If i'm doing something wrong, please tell me.

    Well if i do that, the video will raise up GBs larger (and that is really bad).
    Why is it really bad?
    Its a fact of digital  life. High datarate = quality.
    example ...even the Youtube preset is in the 8mpbs area.
    ...and you are exporting 1 hr 35mins of media.

  • Video Output from compressor is still fuzzy and delayed on my site

    My web video output is choppy and pixelated and I'm shooting on an excellent HD camera 1080i
    I setup compressor for HD 564X960 and the output is 78Mb (this is a 1 minute and 32 seconds video)
    I then us flash to convert it to a Flash 8 high quality flv
    the result is crap. Its blurred and choppy on my site. I just watched the HD presentation on the new SDK for iPhone and the window was huge and the quality was fantastic?
    What's the secret ?

    Ok, a number of problems here.
    First are you using Compressor to compress your video, then Flash to compress it again to a FLV? If so, that is causing a lot of your problems right there. You are double compressing a video (never a good idea). Take you uncompressed video file into Flash and create your FLV.
    Second, you are using Flash to compress your video. Flash is horrible at compression. Sorenson Squeeze will produce much better results. Or if you are creating H.264 files, just use Compressor to create a H.264 file and then change the extension to .flv
    Finally, if the quality is bad then you might need to increase the bitrate. What did you set your bitrate to?

  • Premiere Pro CS6 - Video Output (GPU) bad quality...

    Hi,
    I have a question about Adobe Premiere Pro CS6...
    I have installed the Trial-Version and use a BM Intensity Pro to output Full-HD 1080i (50, Interlace) trough HDMI Video-Output...
    The Video-Output works correctly, but if I enable the "GPU"-Acceleration (CUDA), and scale or transform a Video (for example a 3D-Transformation) the Quality of the transforming is very bad! (jerky, not "smooth", Interlace-Lines etc...)
    If I deactivate the GPU-Acceleration (Software only Mode), everything is smooth and looks good!
    Also if I render the Timeline, all tranformations are also smooth, only the Realtime GPU Rendering looks very bad....
    What can I do?

    Hi :-)
    I have tested it now with another Grafikcard!
    And it is exactly the same problem
    I have found out, that the GPU makes a delay, after a few seconds the Transformation looks smooth/bicubic!
    But on relatime-Playback its bad...
    My English isnt very good, so I have some problems to describe what I mean...
    If you stop the playback, it takes 2 Sekonds and then the image looks good!
    But dureing the playback its very bad quality, false Interlace-Lines etc...

  • S-video output not working for Satellite A60

    The s-video output on my laptop is not working. i have tried the Fn-F5 hotkey, but i don't get a damn output on the tv.

    Hi
    First:
    Has it ever worked before?
    Yes? then make sure that you don't have a second desktop activated. Go into the displaysettings and rightclick the second screen. Make sure it is not set to "attached".
    If your machine also have a composite out, try using that instead.
    Does it work?
    If yes, your machine is at least software-wise able to output the picture to the TV.
    If no, then there is probably something in the software that stops the picture from going out to TV.
    It could of course also be a hardware related problem but it is less prabable that both the s-video and the composite-ports are defective.
    Try checking the settings for your videodriver.
    No?
    If an s-video cable was delivered with your computer, make sure to use that one.
    Check the s-video cable with a traditional DVD. This way see if the cable and in-port on your TV is ok.
    If you are using the cable that came with your PC then you should defenitely check for settings in the videodriver.
    If it is not the cable that came with your PC (or no cable was delivered with your PC) try check the manual for hints on a compatible cable.
    Sorry for the quite messy respons - it is not easy to write a think-flowchart here.
    Good luck

  • Satellite P300-13J - S-Video output shows no picture

    Hi,
    I need a little help here.
    I have P300D-13J and I bought it with OS Vista HP 32-bit. I have tested S-Video output few times after time I bought my computer and it worked fine,no problems.
    But,after a few months I needed S-Video output and I connected cable like any other time I did that(same cable,same TV),and it didn't worked!
    I thought it was some software problem,and in that time my copy of Windows 7 HP came. I've installed Windows 7 HP 32-bit on my computer and everything is working super,but I still have the same problem with S-Video output. I need to say that with instalation of W7, I installed all newest drivers from Toshiba web page.
    When I try to move screen on TV, I use FN+F5,and it has a button called TV. But if i chose TV,my FN shortcut key blocks and nothing happens.
    When I go to Display Settings and connect TV on S-Video,I have second monitor (No.2) and it is called Non PnP Generic Monitor or something like that. I can not change any settings on that monitor,not even a resolution.
    So,does anyone has this kind of problems or solution for this?

    Hey Stevan,
    I had the same issue that I couldnt see a picture on my external monitor that was connected via S-Video cable. The solution for this problem was very easy: I had to change the TV-standard from NTSC to PAL!
    Of course its depending on your country where you life but you can find this option in display driver options.

  • Clips from Project bin to source monitor causing video output to go out of sync(CS6 and CC)

    Any footage I double-click or drag from the Project window to the Source monitor causes my video output to go out of sync. When I put the clips in the timeline, video goes back in sync and I'm able to view video output.  My monitors are connected to a Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle Thunderbolt(9.7.5) via component and HDMI. Is this normal behavior in Premiere or is there a setting to enable this? No issues doing this in FCP7(clips from Project window to Canvas).

  • One long repeating beep and no video output

    Sometimes when switching on a system build with KT6 Delta , I get one long repeating beep and no video output. The problem usually is solved if I unplug the monitor cable from the vga card and plug it in again. Still, I am thinking why does this happen since the cable seems to be connected fine?

    1 Beep: DRAM refresh failure
    Explanation: The system is having a problem accessing the system memory to refresh it. Refreshing is done on all system memory to keep its contents active.
    Diagnosis: This code usually means a problem either with the system memory or with the motherboard itself.
    Continuous Beeping: Memory or video problem
    Explanation: The system is producing constant beeping in no specific pattern, or a fast "ringing" sound.
    Diagnosis: This is usually caused by a problem with the system memory, or possibly the video card. The memory is more likely--the system complains long and loud if it can't find any usable memory, as there is no way to even start the boot process when this is the case. The motherboard itself could also be the problem.
