Satellite A300 - greyish colors on the screen

When playing games on my Satellite A300 (PSAGCA-02W010) and looking at pictures all the colors seem greyish and a bit dull. When I called them up they said it could be "limitations of the display" and I could have it looked at but I would be charged $120 if it was because of limitations just wondering if anyone else has had similar issues with displays.
It looks similar to my mates hewlett packard LCD screen which is really old.
Any advice would be helpful!

It is not easy to discuss this issue on this forum because none of us can see how it looks like.
Everyone of us has different opinion about the same thing.
I own Satellite A300-1LI and I am very satisfied with display brightness and colors.
From time to time I play COD4 (online) and last week I have installed Quantum of solace.
Simply great.
If you are not satisfied with display visit nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and switch your notebook in front of them and explain why you are not satisfied with display.
We can discuss here for days but at the end you can just read comments about changing display brightness and colour.
What else you can do about it?

  • Numbers of colors on the screen? Zen vs. Vision

    Hi
    I am thinking about getting either a Zen or Zen vision M player. I can see that the Zen has 6m colors on the screen and the Vision "only" has 262k colors can I see the difference?
    thanks for your help?
    Anders Lindhj

    Well, the difference IS significant when viewing pictures, as well as videos. It's like setting your TV color setting to 30% (Zen V M) and then to 00% (Zen).
    The ZEN is a huge improvement, as I have both the Zen and ZVM

    Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    If that doesn't work, reset the iPad. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    Last thing to try is quit the app and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit Safari by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

    Sounds like you'll have to bring it in and pay to have it repaired or replaced.

  • Satellite A300 - "Enter password" on startup screen

    Hello, I have a problem with my Satellite A300-14S PSAJ0E-00W00PSK.
    *Screen with input "Enter password" appears every time when I turn it on.* When I put wrong password 3 times, my laptop turns off. I had installed windows 7 with ubuntu for 2 years with no problems but I cannot boot any operating system now (even when I boot with inserted CD/DVD with windows/ubuntu).
    *When can I get correct password? Or it is another solution of this problem?*
    Thank You for any advice!

    I presume your notebook is locked with BIOS password.
    BIOS password cannot be set from alone but I dont understand your situation.
    Either you have blocked your notebook with BIOS password or someone have done it without your knowledge.
    Have you some explanation for this situation.
    Anyway, if BIOS password is not known to you, you must contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. They can remove it for you.

    Hello
    Im wondering that you want to upgrade to 8GB RAM... Normally 3 or 4GB should be more as enough for all applicaions at the moment.
    Anyway, as Jayjay said its not possible to upgrade to 8GB. A friend of me has a Satellite A300 and the user manual says that it can upgrade to 4GB or 2GB (depending on the chipset). So if you have a PM965/GM965/RS690M chipset you can upgrade it to 4GB. Otherwise you can only use up to 2GB.
    I have upgraded my Toshiba notebook with Kingston RAM. This is high quality RAM and has a good compatibility. I never had problems with such modules.
    Check this!!
    Bye

  • Satellite A300 - After BIOS update black screen

    Hello all,
    I just applied the BIOS update on my Satellite A300. After the update successful, the system does a reboot. Now when I try to power it up I get no display, I can hear the hear running, the CD Drive reading the DVD, led blinking.
    The Toshiba ASP tolled me (phone call) the mainboard should be replaced after a unsuccessful bios update, but it's very expensive for me, :(
    Please can you tell me if they are any way to fix it without mainboard replacement? The bios is a Insyde and according to the website the bios has bios [Recovery Technology|http://www.insydesw.com/press/2008/press_060308.htm]. I guess that the ASP doesn't know that.
    Please can you tell me how to start the recovery procedure if it's possible (key combination?),
    Any help about fixing the laptop without mainboard replacement will be much appreciated.

    There are cases when the chip that containes the bios is removed from the motherboard and with a memory writing device (special to do this) it is posible to rewrite the bios(in my country, Romania it is not possible at the Toshiba Service, they change the motherboard wich cost 400-500 euro, but there are guys in electronics who do things like this...).
    This is the happy case to rewrite, when this is possible. But there are exceptions when you can't do anything and you have to change the motherboard.(bad bios update coud burn your entire motherboard or several components /parts).
    In what I've read " For example, on other manufactures PC compatible systems with Award BIOS and AMI BIOS there is dedicated small area, often about 8 kiB or so, called bootblock which starts first" , if your bios si from award or ami they have lets say a small progam which starts first, checks if bios is oki then is booting normal , if not it tries to recover it and boot.
    In your case this is not possible even if you have the specific computer with that kind of bios because the screen doesn't start.
    *Your case is simillar to mine* so you could hope that your video card is broken and not your motherboard.
    My advice to you is to go to the service and diagnostic the problem and see what is the solution.

  • Satellite L300: How to make the screen less blue?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to make the screen less blue, not fully color managed, just a little warmer. TIA.

    Hey Zeb,
    Why you want to change the color management? Are not satisfied with the colors on your L300 screen? I have this notebook too and Im very satisfied with the color management. For me its all ok and I dont change anything on it.
    Anyway, you can change the colors in graphics driver menu. On Intel cards for example:
    Display properties > Settings > Advanced > Intel Graphics > Graphic Properties > Color Correction

  • Only 16 colors on the Screen

    Hello all together
    I am a new Mac user and I am very happy with it for a few weeks. Suddently, and I do not know what I have changed, the Screen only shows 16 colors (i guess).
    When the Macmini starts from Power of all seems to be ok, till the Dock comes up. I can see, that the colors of the Dock are ok for a Second. Then, when the Desktop ist build, the Display changes to that problem-screen and there are only very rare colors. It is hard ore impossible to read grey text.
    In system - settings - Disply the Resolution is set to 1280x1024, the colors to 16,7 Mio.
    The Display ia a BenQ T904.

  • When I am streaming videos there is a dark green tint to the darker colors on the screen.

    When I am streaming a video, there are dark green shades to some of the darker areas on the screen.  For instance if someone in the video has dark hair, there are green tints to the hair.  It almost looks like a color negative, but not quite.  This has just started happening.   I've had my mac book pro for about 2 months.

    Could you please give us a picture of what is going on. This is a picture of what the top of Safari looks like when I go to the Help menu. I typed in the word cache and a number of options appeared below. Is this not happening for you?

  • Why can't my pics match color of the screen when printed?

    Hi there.... Please help me with my frustation.  I am using LR 2.6 and printing on a HP Photosmart B8550 on a MacBook laptop.   I can't get the colors on the printer to match the screen.  I have tried several profiles in the Color Management section of the Print Module (including Manage by Printer).    The prints are all darker and not as vivid as the monitor shows.  Although the levels in the histogram are OK, in order to get 'decent' color prints I have to increase the levels distorting the screen image.

    so I have to assume its a basic flaw with lightroom
    Actually it is certainly possible to print correctly with Lightroom. Almost all printers will just work. If they don't, you are either not setting up the driver right with the correct settings for ink density and paper type and/or are not using the correct color profile, or you have a really badly written driver for your printer that does not conform to standards. You can hack your way around the latter if you know what you are doing and get reasonable prints, but a new printer might simply be in order. In its quest for the best print quality and 64-bit compatibility with the latest Apple and MS operating systems, the Lightroom folks had to dump some of the old ways of doing things. The same thing happened with PS CS4. This unfortunately leaves some older and consumer oriented printers at the wayside.
    Now all this is excacerbated by some bugs in the printing systems of both Apple's OS and Microsoft's, where printer drivers will often simply refuse to give up color managing prints, resulting in dark weird colors. I doubt this is your problem though as it mostly manifests itself when you are using your own printer profiles for different papers instead of the standard ones.

  • Satellite A105 - 1/3 of the screen is freezing periodically

    I have an Satellite A105 and the bottom 1/3 of the screen is freezing periodically, yet the top 2/3 of the screen is perfectly fine.
    After tapping the bottom part of the screen or the border around the bottom of the screen for a while it will go back to normal.
    After the slightest movement, it will begin to go haywire again.
    I was wondering if anyone knew whether or not this is a problem with the screen or could it be the inverter??

    The Inverter simply provides voltage to the backlight, it cannot knock out a 1/3 of the image.
    The problem is most likely to be the LCD Module, or LCD Cable.
