Satellite L30 Vista screen not lit; extrnal monitor only works in Safe Mode
HI,
I have LS30-10S.
first the laptop screen would not light up though I could see a faint ghost of icons etc;
I tried unplugging and holding power button down (battery is long time dead) with intermittent and random success;
I borrowed an external LCD monitor (Lenovo Thinkvision) and that worked fine, and pressing Fn+F5 would actually sometimes bring the laptop screen to life too.
I changed the screen inverter and that seemed to restore the laptop screen, but the next time I rebooted +neither+ screen would work unless I chose safe mode.
Currently I can only use the external screen and only in safe mode.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Hi
Just few questions:
Has the external monitor worked properly before you disassembled the notebook and replaced the LCD inverter board?
What happens exactly if you boot the notebook in normal mode?
Did you try to boot the notebook using a Live CD (Win PE or Linux live CD)?
I would also recommend you to check if you new OS installation is possible.
The safe mode is just a test environment and the system does not access all hardware recourses using safe mode.
So theoretically the issue could be related to faulty hardware or system problems.

Monitor only works in safe mode
My monitor only works in safe mode. when restart in normal mode the monitor screen is blank. when I start in safe mode the monitor works fine.
Is there a reason you have not entered the menu as I have suggested and reset the monitor to factory default?
Your old school monitor needs a kick in the pants to remind it that it is plug n' play. That is essentially what the reset will do. It won't hurt anything.
Was the TV you had connected to the PC before using the monitor an HDTV one with 1080p resolution?
In order to reinstall the graphics driver you will need to be logged in as a user with elevated (admin) priveleges. A standard user cannot install drivers or programs. You do not heed to reinstall RAID drivers.
You might need to consider replacing the monitor with a modern LCD display. They are quite inexpensive these days and can evven be found in the second hand market.
If you don't want to do that then you can remove the video card and then connect the monitor VGA cable to the video output port on the rear of the desktop PC. Removing the card will enable the onboard video.

Late 2009 imac- Mavericks, Kernel Panics- checkerboard screen- only works in Safe Mode now.
Need help with Late 2009 imac- had HD and video card replaced under Apple Care last year. Upgraded to Mavericks and it froze up while on Yahoo looking at a slide show. Screen pixelated with checkerboard patterns and then eventually locks-up. Only way to get it to work now is in SAFE MODE.
Tried memory test, Resetting SMC, AHT, Zapping NVRAM, PRAM, only errors I can see are some permissions

New kernel panic is now as follows-
What's interesting is I had the video card replaced at Apple in the last year- it's a ATI Radeon HD 4850 512 MB
But I see that the log has it listed as
"com.apple.ATIRadeonX2000(8.2.4)"
wondering if that my be the problem as the issue is the screen is fragmented and flickers- checkerboard before it crashes when not in safe mode..

ITunes does not respond when opening, but works in safe mode
Hey there
So over the last two days or so, my ITunes (Latest version 11.1.4.) on MacBook Pro opens fine but then as soon as I click whatever, it gets stuck on the spinning wheel. I have now read that you can open it in Safe Mode by shift-option-command and click on iTunes on the desktop, which works fine, but is not the ultimate solution.
Would you please have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this?
Thank you very much already!
Kristin(It may be reacting badly with the new iTunes version, even though it's been okay with earlier ones.)
b noir, just to confirm - the "Quartz Composer Visualizer.bundle" is working very well on my Mavericks MBP with 11.1.4. Only the Music Visualizers bundles, that need iTunes to run 32bit mode, will no longer run in iTunes 11.1.4., e.g. the iVisualize bundle and the visualizers "Be Composed", etc.
Perhaps is something in the iTunes Visualizer folder, that uses quartz filters requiring advanced features of the graphics card, and therefore disabled in Safe Mode. -
Screen only works in safe mode.
I updated my software yesterday and restarted as usual, but after my laptop had booted up and passed the apple sign, the screen had 15 square blocks on it, as if the purple background on the login screen was put into 15 pixels.
When I boot using safe mode everything is fine. I have no idea what is causing the screen to behave in this waySafe Mode disables a number of things. One of with is third party kernel extensions. Do you know if you have any kernel extensions installed such as Pro Tools?

G4 iBook works in Safe Mode, but not in regular mode (stuck on blue screen)
14" iBook G4 1.2GHz with 1 gig of RAM.
I recently had an issue with this machine in that the image on the screen would freeze but the cursor would be able to move around. This was narrowed down to an issue with the logic board. I wanted something a little more permanent than a shim, so I sent the board in to have it reballed.
After installing the maching back into my iBook, it seemed to work fine until I applied a software update to the machine.
It was then that I got to experience the first of many kernel panics.
Restarting at different times always brought me to the dialog box which states that the machine needed to be restarted in multiple languages.
Running the Apple Hardware Test off my install disks yielded this error code: 2ATI/2/4:113-xxxxx-125
I have no idea what that means. I do know that just before I got the results of the test, the screen changed to all kinds of colors. It was only for a few seconds and then the results (with the error code) were displayed.
Still, not sure what to do next, I tried resetting the PRAM. I also tried resetting the NVRAM.
I also tried booting up into Safe Mode which actually worked. There were no issues with the machine and everything seemed to be working fine.
When I tried to restart the machine in regular mode, I'm taken to the infamous blue screen and the machine just stays there. When I let the machine stay off overnight, it booted up normal, but after applying the software update, the machine was in kernel panic again.
I've tried running fsck, but nothing changes.
I'm still not sure why it seems to work in Safe Mode but not in regular mode.
I'd appreciate any suggestions or ideas.Hi,
A couple of the things that are disabled in safe mode are AirPort and non Apple startup items. The easiest thing for you to test is the AirPort card. Shut down and remove the AE card under the keyboard. See if it starts. If it does your AE card is bad. If not, start in safe mode and go to System Preferences>Accounts>youraccount and disable all non Apple startup (LOgin) items by clicking on them and then the minus sign. Restart normally and see if it will start.

I have an older iMac G5 running OS 10.4.11. The other day I started playing with a bluetooth speaker (may or may not be related). Now I cannot get past the blue screen on startup.
I can get into safe mode. But no regular startup.
I tried disabling bluetooth, thinking that might be related. It didn't help.
I even tried using the install disc to run disc utility. That didn't work so I reloaded the OS.
But I still get hung on the blue screen when trying a normal startup.
All help would be appreciated.Try resetting the PMU/SMU and PRAM/NVRAM. You'd need to identify the mode of resetting depending on the model of your G5 iMac. The Apple support sites that would help you for this are –

Will not boot normally, but will boot into Safe Mode... what now?
Hey y'all, I've got an iBook G4—purchased in 2003—that's had its hard drive replaced (due to the OE one failing) and that's on its second battery (which will need replacing soon unless I can't get this resolved, then it's new computer time... ugh).
Last night I left it open and on and probably had a couple of sites open in tabs in Safari, as well as Mail and iChat open (Preview might've been open, too).
When I went back to it this morning it wouldn't come off the black screen (I don't have it set to sleep), and I thought it was because it's dry here and I must've discharged into it through the trackpad (though I've always felt it before), which freezes it, a problem that's happened before and that's normally resolved with a restart. Confirmed it was, indeed, frozen by turning the number lock on and off (which turns the light for it at the top of the keyboard on and off).
Powered it down by holding the power button. On restart it wouldn't go beyond the black screen. Tried it a couple of times, same problem. Things were pretty warm, so I let it sit for a while. Went back to it and it would freeze on the gray apple screen with the progress "gear" freezing after a few seconds of whirling about. Managed to get to the UN/PW screen once, but it froze after entering my UN and PW. Now it freezes on the apple/gear screen every time.
I used the Hardware Test CD to check things and all the hardware tests showed up fine. Booted it into Safe Mode and ran Cocktail. Rebooted, no joy.
Booted again into Safe Mode and backed it up onto an external HDD using CCC. I had done a clone a few weeks ago, but I wanted my most recent emails, etc.
Used Disk Utility to repair permissions. No change. Attempted to boot from my cloned disk image. No go. Repaired some permissions on that drive and tried again. No joy.
The thing "works" in Safe Mode, but I cannot get it to boot into things normally.
Seeing as it was online, is it possible that I picked up some corrupted font that's causing these problems? Got that idea from other stuff I've read online regarding iBook G4 start-up issues and this: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1564?viewlocale=en_US
Any other ideas?Gents, truly, thank you.
In safe mode I couldn't disable the Airport card as it was already off and the hardware was "not found". No biggy. I simply pulled it. Booted up normally without a problem several times.
I swapped in a known-good Airport card from another iBook G4 and put this one's in that iBook. That computer wouldn't start and this one started up no problem (and I'm posting from it).
Weird that it would go bad like that, but it did. It's nice to know what the problem is and that the fix is easy. I'm glad I didn't go through any restore or wipe and install procedures.
So, again... THANK YOU! -
i downloaded an adobe flash update and my computer after next logon got a blue screen. I could only start in safe mode and until uninstalling the flash player could i start in safe mode with networking. i cannot open any microsoft products now. I get a message saying adobe acrobat 10 is not designed to run on windows or uninstall and reinstall it ....but it will not let me uninstall it. What do i do? is this all an adobe issue or a windows problem?? thanks Tim
Hate to suggest this, but you need to ask in the Flash forum. This forum is for Acrobat.

Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source. What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
Some other information:
- Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
- If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
- The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
Here's what I did to test:
Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured. I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video. It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop). I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results. I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver. Very annoying. I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
I have 2 other things I can try:
1. Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
2. Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/). I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

Satellite A300-1BRS works in Safe Mode
Hi,
My laptop is:
Toshiba A300-1BRS
Windows 7
I bought it on 2008. The origianal OS is windows vista. Last May 2013, laptop doesn't work so the technician upgrade it to windows 7. I wasn't able to do the Toshiba recovery and I don't have the product key for the windows.
Here's the problem.
Now, it run windows normally ONLY with the battery BUT if I plug the charger it keep on restarting and restarting. I've tried to repair the computer pressing F8 then Repair the Computer but it shuts down.
The unit works in Safe Mode and I don't encounter the problem even if I plug or unplug the charger.
Please HELP...>Now, it run windows normally ONLY with the battery BUT if I plug the charger it keep on restarting and restarting.
In my opinion its an problem with motherboard.
Fact is that unit should work and run properly using AC adaptor or without connected AC adaptor (only battery). Also the battery could be removed while the AC adaptor is connected.
If this isnt possible, I guess the motherboard is affected. Probably the power supply electronic is faulty.
I guess only a detailed hardware check would provide the exact information about the affected part.
