Satellite A665-S6086 screen is blank

The keyboard got wet but not liquid appears to have gotten to the main board it all stayed in the keyboard. When I turn the PC on, I had a screen but now whenever I turn it on the screen is blank and nothing ever shows up. I have disconnected the battery and power plug, but that doesn't help. My question is, if the keyboard is toast, will the screen not turn on unless I replace the keyboard with a new one?

The keyboard and screen should not be related, except the spill could have done more damage than expected. Important things to do when you spill is to disconnect all power, including the AC power cord and the battery. Afterwards, tilt, turn and gently shake anything else off of the computer. Leave the computer in a warm room for a couple days and let it dry out.
The worst things to spill on your computer are soda, beer and those cappuccino/frappachino mocha grande things from those coffee shops.
Hook up an external monitor and keyboard to your computer and see if you can get video on the external monitor. You're going to need to replace the keyboard anyway, might as well let the tech see what's going on with the screen too. It might be something simple or something that will make you consider getting the computer replaced too. But you won't know if you don't get it checked out.

Satellite A665 - S6086 HDMI help needed

Hello, I have scoured the forums and attempted to upgrade drivers to no avail. My specs:
Satellite A665-S6086
Trying to connect to an HP ZR30w monitor
using a Cable Matters DisplayPort to HDMI cable
Some background, I recently had to replace the hard drive and re-install windows (windows 7 - 64bit) I have re-installed the Intel display driver and tried to re-install the HDMI control manager driver. I kind of get the feeling the control manager doesn't install properly, it doesn't gvie me a completion message the way the other drivers did.

The order of driver installation matters. Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 73 of the User's Guide.

Increasing Dedicated Video RAM? (Intel HD Graphics - Satellite A665-S6086)

My Satellite A665-S6086 Laptop uses Intel HD Graphics, and I wish to increase the dedicated video RAM.
Through dxdiag, it says I have 1696MB of Approximate Total Memory, but I only use 64Mb according to: http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/CYRI/analysis.aspx?name=The-Elder-Scrolls-V:-Skyrim&id=11231&se...
I went into the BIOS Setup -> Advanced, but was unable to find anything to alter the amount of Video RAM.
If anybody has a solution to this, please share it.
Thanks,
Chibichuba.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

...But you are not able to with the stock Toshiba motherboard....
Then you still cannot do it unless you replace the whole motherboard.

Satellite Pro P100 - Screen stays blank

Computer seems to be on, but the laptop screen stays blank.
Ok so right now the power light is on and HD and the back fan is not on, and when I press the power button, the HD and the back fan comes on and then the power light just flashes, but nothing is on the screen, and the the keyboard lights (capslock/numlock etc) do not flash like they would on a boot up. That leads me to assume that the laptop is hibernating or something, but it should come out of hibernation (if it was) on a press on the power button, but nothing happens when I do that.
also connected an external monitor to the back of the laptop, got nothing on the screen as well.
any ideas?

Hi
Hm, it could be a mainboard issue or something else. I doubt that its a problem of the internal display because tested an external display and there you can notice the same issue.
What you can do is this following workaround: Remove the battery and AC/DC adaptor and then wait one hour. Connect the AC/DC adaptor and battery again. Now you can try to start the notebook again.
If it doesnt work I would ask a notebook technician from an authorized service provider. Maybe its a hardware malfunction and the ASP can test your notebook.

White Screen on Satellite A665-S6086

I bought this laptop about a year ago. About a month ago, the laptop screen started turning white for no reason, randomly. It could be in the middle of the laptop being used or at boot.
Does anyone know what problem this is? Is this the driver, or the display chip itself? How do I fix this problem?
What so disappointing is how this happens while the laptop is still fairly new and not abused at all? I did a search and found out there are other people having the same issue. Is this a product quality issue?
I'm not going to spend hundreds of dollars sending it in to Toshiba repair center for repair, the warranty just expired a couple months ago. I'd rather go buy another laptop, and I'm sure not to buy another Toshiba again.
YQuy

I had the same problem IN November 2011. Toshiba had me reset to factory settings refusing to repair until December. I got it back right before the warranty expired. They repaired video wire. Two weeks after warranty was up it started again. Now the computer is just about useless. It is more whitescreen than functioning. Any videos white screen it. Startup, shut down, random.
I too must now either pay for something they supposedly fixed or buy a new computer which to me will also NOT be a Toshiba.

Satellite Pro S300 - Screen is blank and can't reboot

About a week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 on overnight (as usual). It was fine that night.
The next day, I had a black screen and a flashing amber light at the left side. I tried turning it off, rebooting, no dice. I have tried removing the battery and rebooting under just AC power, nothing, I have tried the opposite. Nothing. I have tried letting the battery run out and then recharge. No help. Very occasionally when I plug it back in, I will get a green light for a few seconds, but then back to the flashing amber light. Nothing EVER on the screen.
I have only had this Notebook since MAY!! what is wrong!!

This interests me, as I have three of these S series laptops and two have failed in similar manner so far.
It can be rectified temporarily by removing the battery, then pressing the start button for several seconds to discharge the capacitor (Toshiba told me to do this) and then using the power cable to start up again. It usually works.
Not very elegant to take out its guts though
My problems started in late August early September - is this significant?
Are you using XP or Vista?
Toshiba have not mended the problem despite two journeys for repair for one machine.
What does the blinking light sequence this orange light taps out mean? Nothing in the papers I have looked at.
My machines were bought in March

Satellite a665-s6086 problemw/ vid

Hello,
I'm having an issue w/ our Toshiba.A full restore fixed the issue for a while but it came back. I was updating various firefox plug-ins. After the problem started, I tried to uninstall the updates one by one, but nothing helped. Restoring it again as I type this...
Here are videos of the problem.
I did update the bios.

Laptop is just over one year old. Any help is appreciated.

Wild! The videos are *much better than trying to explain that, lol. Maybe it's the touchpad? That cursor looks like it's tabbing around the screen so maybe there's a keyboard issue? But take a look at this thread for touchpad issues. Toshiba probably uses the same parts in a variety of models. :-)

That procedure is described in the section Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method), which begins on p. 63 of the User's Guide.

Toshiba A665-S6086 Wi-Fi & Audio Problems

Hello,
I have a Toshiba A665-S6086 computer and I'm having issues with the Wi_Fi and Audio. When using the computer sometimes the Wi-Fi will randomly turn itself off, and I will get a message saying that that Hardware Radio Switch has been turned off. Well the problem is of course, it turning off by itself. Other times it will turn on and off in rapid succession and a loud ringing noise will follow until it has either shut itself off or the Wi-Fi reconnects. I have installed the latest drivers, checked for viruses/spyware. Cleaned the registry, and made sure it's not anything along those lines causing the problem. I have tried other fixes as well but I'm not the most tech savvy person around and nothing I do seems to work. Any insight or help with this matter would be appreciated.

....I have installed the latest drivers...
You've installed the the latest drivers from where? If it was from Windows Update, or directly from the chipmakers, this may well be the source of your problems. You should only use the hardware drivers from your model's Toshiba download page.
Click on 'Start', type in dev , click on 'Device Manager', click on the arrow beside 'Network adapters', what is the exact name of your WiFi/Wireless device? Also, click on the arrow beside 'Sound, video and game controllers', what is the exact name of your audio/sound device (not HDMI)?

Satellite Pro A300 crashes with blank screen

I have a Satellite Pro A300, AMD CPU, ATI graphics, Vista.
The system worked fine for a year but a few months ago it started crashing, the screen went blank, not blue, anything running, like music, stopped. This can happen after several hours or minutes, or even whilst it is re-booting. All my software is up-to-date, both from Microsoft and Toshiba. I have rebuilt my system from scratch and the symptoms came back.
At first I thought this might be a heat problem but I have monitored this but I don't think this is it. It has crashed seconds after leaving sleep mode when it has not had a chance to warm up.
Anybody got any ideas?
Simon

Hi buddy,
Theoretically it could be an overheating problem so the screen went blank due built in overheat protection...
You should try to clean your notebook using compressed air spray. This could blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators and therefore its not necessary to disassemble the notebook.
In your case I would recommend reading this article:

Satellite A100: Screen goes blank after a while of no action and can't be reactivated

Hi all
I am after a bit of advise/help. I have a satellite A100 & after its been on for an extended period with no keyboard input (like burning dvds), the screen goes blank. It doesn't matter which keys I press I can't make it come back on. The only way out of it that I have found is to restart the machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks
Gary

Hi,
normally this means the machine is in standby mode (power LED is blinking orange). To reactivate you have to push the power button. Then it should bring back all opened windows as before going into standby.
You can deactivate standby function in the power management. (Start -> control panel -> power management)

Re: Satellite P300 - POST screen blank on booting up and very slow start up

Hi,
I have a laptop Satellite P300. On booting up vista the microsoft logo comes up and then when the POST screen should be showing me what the bios is checking the screen is blank.
It remains blank for 5 to 10 mins then the pointer appears then it finally goes to the desktop.
I suspect the bios is hanging on something but I can't see cos the screen is blank. I suspect there is a setting somewhere. I can enter the bios but can't find anything in there.
Also regards to the extremely slow boot, I have disabled nearly all the start up programs but it has made no difference.
Has anyone any ideas?
Thanks

Hi
Everything runs slowly but finally the Windows OS boots up properly. Right?
Hmm. you can access the BIOS press F2 immediately after power button has been pressed.
This should allow you to access the BIOS. There you should press F9 to set the BIOS to default settings. Save the changes and reboot the unit again.
Additionally I would recommend checking the HDD. You could use a tool called Drive Fitness Test. This tool can be downloaded for free (google for that).
By the way; did you try to recover the notebook using recover disk?
Maybe you should try this but note; this would format the HDD so backup the date before starting recovery.

Satellite P30-133 - Internal screen is blank

Hello everyone.
I've got a Sattelite P30-133 with a blank screen, everything works ok.
When I plug it into the screen from my main computer but the laptop screen stays blank, any ideas ?
Thanks in advance. steve.

Hi, did you tried turning it on from the Fn+F5 (i think)? And does the display warks at all , or just when you boot the windows it goes off?
Somethink else is when you get into windows try reinstalling the drivers for the display, may be it is not set to the wright channel.

Sometimes the screen is blank!

I'm trying to repair a Satellite l305d-s59222. The hard drive partition somehow no longer has the partiton on it to factory reset, but I have ordered the Recovery CDs from Toshiba. Last night, I finally got the screen to turn back on (ie. it is no longer black on startup) and was able to do a factory restore. This morning, I turn the laptop on, and while resuming windows, it gets stuck on a black screen with a flashing white curser. I turn the laptop off, and now it won't boot again. The screen stays blank...no Toshiba screen or anything. I've checked all the cables and they seem to be working fine. Like I said, sometimes it comes on. Other times, it will remain blank. Any clue what is going on/ what to try next?

It's hard to know for sure. Have you tried using it with an external monitor?
