Satellite A200 - Display goes off for no reason

I've a Satellite A200-E530D running Windows Vista Home Premium. For the past month, i've had something strange happening to my computer, soon after boot up, the display goes off. for no good reason! the only option i have is to hard boot the system and everythings fine...though a couple of times after restarting it again went off.
I've tried updating to the latest display drivers (I have a Nvidia Geforce 7300 Go graphics with a 128 MB of VRAM)
Another strange thing, Vista SP1 doesn't install on my machine. tried uninstalling my Anti virus, but that hasnt helped either.
Can anybody shed some light on my dark display?

im hoping its not a failing inverter board. hardware support where i come from (India) costs a bomb, and for a laptop, its a hell of a lot more than a bomb.
i dont think its a failing inverter board though...shouldnt the board fail regularly while im using it then? the fact that my display switches off (and dude, it switches OFF completely, no backlight at all. my laptop responds only to a hard boot in the @$$) right after i switch on my computer points to a software malfunction. because, afterwards, my PC works just fine for the the next seven or eight hours that i use it for.
im guessing there something wrong with the way the drivers are loading up...or something.
maybe i should change the power options? i've configured the screen to switch off after a period of 1 min of no activity. and my laptops start up time (from the time i log in, to the time the little windows hourglass sign disappears) can be a little longer than a minute. is it possible that theres something wrong going on there?
like i said, im at my wits' end!

Iphone 5 sound goes off for no reason.

Problem with alarm, ringtone, keypad etc sound. Works ok & then sound goes, so nothing sounds when it rings or reminder or alarm goes off. This happens even though I haven't made any changes to the settings during the day. I have to switch off & on the phone to fix it. Also, when I press home button to unlock the phone, Siri is the first thing that appears instead of "Swipe to unlock" message. I have also recently noticed that when I am typing on the keypad, sometimes a sound is made and then it stops and then starts up again.
I updated the phone a few days ago but the problem is still occurring...

Double tap with THREE fingers to turn zoom off. Then go into Settings>General>Accessibility & turn it off for good.

Satellite Pro A100 shutting off for no reason

Hi
I have a pro a100 that i think is overheating.
It runs for about 30 minutes then switches of and reverts to the initial boot up screen "Toshiba" ect, tires to boot then repeats the above.
I have blown the dust from the fan intake and air outlet and this has improved things, now runs for about 90 minutes.
I want take the base off to clean it out properly but cannot find a service manual to tell me which screws to remove.
Would anyone here have a service manual for this laptop, if so would you be willing to e-mail me a copy.
As it is now "end of life" would this still be a problem?
I am competant as I repair Blu-ray players ECT.

> I have blown the dust from the fan intake and air outlet and this has improved things, now runs for about 90 minutes.
So I think that the notebook is affected by higher temperature.
Cleaning the fans inside the notebook and assigning new thermal grease might help.
I found really useful page which could help you to get some tips:

But of course everything you will do is your own risk.

Display goes off and comes back only when Satellite A210 is restarted

Hi,
Satellite A210 displays goes off now and then and comes back only when the machine is restarted.
Usual runtime runtime 30 or 45 mins
Please advice
# Is this a hardware problem or software?
# Does some one else faced same problem do advice?
Machine is year and a half old runs windows vista basic that comes with it.
I have reinstalled the display adapter drivers also the problem remains same

Hello
Have you tested an external monitor on the notebook?
If the external monitor works fine it seems to be an internal display issue and must be replaced.
Are you running the factory settings on your notebook or have you installed your own Windows version? Before you go to an authorized service provider you should restore the factory settings to determine if its a hardware or software problem. With the factory settings all should work properly and if not in my opinion its a hardware problem.
Check this!!!

IPhone 4 Buzzer going On and Off for no reason.

Has anyone had any problems of the iPhone Buzzer going on and off for no reason? I rebooted the iPhone but still doing the same thing. Help!

My wife has a 3gs and I have an iphone 4 and have no such issue.
Have you restored as new?
If it is still inside the one year warranty you can make an appointment at the local genius bar and they will replace it, if they cannot solve it.

Sattelite 1800-752S - the display goes off

Hi everybody.
I have a satellite 1800-752S.
SInce a ew months ithas a wierd problem: the display goes off. If i press and quickly release the lid button it comes back on, but after that goes off again. SOmetimes ot goes off immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. SOmetimes it keeps being on when I am running from battery, and annoys me on AC, sometimes the versus. It works quite well, after I turn it to standby or hibernate a few times, and after a restart it annoys me.I have updated its BIOS to the lates from this site, that wouldn't help. I assume it is a hardware problem, because it is the same problem under Linux, and I have tried to install different verisons of drivers and Windows (not only the one from the Recovery CD). Did anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks a lot
Roman

Hi,
I think you are right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try to connect an external monitor. If it works without problems while the notebooks display goes off, then it must be a hardware fault.
I assume it's a problem with the FL-inverter. You have to give your mashine to a Toshiba service partner for repair.

Quicksilver dual 1GHz 2002 powers off for no reason.

My Quicksilver dual 1GHz 2002 powers off for no reason. Could it be because of overheating? I can run it for an hour or 2 and then it simply powers off as if the electricity went off. No warning, no process. I can wait 30 min and power it up for maybe 10 min and the same thing. Does anyone know what may be causing this? There are some logic bd problems too. It will not shut down. I must hold the power button down until it goes off, and to start it up, I must unplug it f power then replug it into the wall to start it up. Yes it is time for a new one, but this one would be nice as a 2nd Mac.

Hello! Look in apps>utilities>console and see if it's throwing a crash log that might narrow down the problem. It could be a weak power supply that's failing when it gets warmed up or a fan that has quit. Tom

My display goes off when Battery being charged on Acer E5-511 after upgrading to Windows 10

I upgraded my window 8.1 to Window 10 on Acer E5-511 machine yesterday. I notice that when I switch on power to charge its battery, a beep sounds and display goes off. when power is again switched off the display comes back with a beep again. However, when the machine battery is allowed to charge for some time, either it goes to hibernation mode or stops working since display does not come back even after switching off the power supply. This peculiar problem did not existed when I had used this Notebook with windows 8.1 for past eight months. Can any one help me to solve this problem as i am being forced to charge the battery only when Notebook is not powered on.

My internet sound will turn off for no reason...

There are times I can play music on youtube for hours and be fine and other times the sound will just cut off for no reason. This happens whether the computer is plugged in or not. When I reboot the computer the sound will usually start working again but today the sound cut off again after just a few seconds. I'm using firefox and vista. Could it be an issue with one of those?

Display going off

My display goes off after starting the pc, sometimes after 5 mins and sometimes at the BIOS setup, and even during Windows startup repair. RAM and PSU are fine as I am using them on a different motherboard and they are working fine. Also when the display goes off, sound doesn't go off immediately, I can hear background music and then there is some noise and sound also goes off, HDD led stops blinking afterwards. Sometimes, HDD goes off along with display. So is the culprit graphics card or motherboard or something else( The other motherboard which I tried, (Nvidia 630i) had onboard VGA and it worked fine)
My specifications:
Motherboard: MSI P45 Neo-F (601-7519-010) no OC
RAM: 2X2GB Corsair DDR2
HDD: WD Caviar Green WS6400AACS, 640GB
PSU: Corsair VX450, 450W
GFX Card: ATI Radeon 4850, 512MB DDR3
Operating System: Windows 7
Processor: Intel E6750, 2.66Ghz

It is highly recommended to use identical modules. Using non-identical but similar modules either works properly or it doesn't. The answer depends highly on what specific memory combination is going to be used on what system. So, basically, if you can avoid mixed configurations, avoid them. If you already have the modules there in front of you, go ahead and simply test it. There is no risk of damaging anthing (well, at least not in general).

but since pc is booting properly, motherboard should be fine right?
Probably --> which means that I personally believe that a problem with the video card is more likely to be the cause. That is why it makes a lot of sense to start testing on that front first. However, the mainboard is not necessarely out of the equation. It is not very likely, but still not totally impossible that the mainboard is the cause for your problem.

It could have powered off. Try holding the sleep button down for a few seconds until the apple logo appears to restart it
