Satellite L655-S5150 display turns off

Hello, I have used this laptop over a year and everything worked fine. A month ago, while I was using it , suddenly, the display went black, like in sort of sleep mode ( but the programs keep running). I just have to move the cursor and it turns up again, like nothing happened. But it is not only once, it keeps happpening again and again in the same day (just after a while it goes black again,and I have to move the cursor again).
Since then, it happens randomly, some days it works fine for hours, others, just after minutes, it starts doing the same thing.
What can I do?
Thanks.

Hi Try going into safe mode (F8) see it you have the same problem. If you made a system repair disc, boot with it and do a repair or restore to a earlier time before your trouble began. Are you using your PC with the battery in or out??Check your power setting. If you need help with these things please ask.
Dokie!!

  • Display Driver Issues on Satellite L655-S5150 with Win10

    I upgraded my Toshiba satellite (L655-S5150) to Windows 10 last week.  Upgrade appeared successfully initially however shortly after the Win10 interface loads the computer will shut itself off.  After exploring a number of possibilities it turns out the computer runs fine in safe mode or in low resolution mode selected from the mainteanance menu.  So I feel quite certain like other issues I have seen with Win10 that have similarities to this one the issue is with the display driver.  I tries updating the driver through device manager but it said I had the latest.  Tried the Toshiba support pages and seem to be nothing new there for the "Intel HD Graphics" display driver.  So seems at the moment I am stuck at low res mode if I want to have a functioning computer.  Any ideas if there might be an updated driver out there, or can I change to something a little more generic that at least might allow me to boot in to normal mode and stay running?

    Yes, have tried "update drivers" option and Windows Update option.  No luck yet.  Also searched manually for an updated driver on the Toshiba site and Intel site (Intel HD Graphics display adapter).  I wish I could just load a generic display driver but every time I remove the Intel display driver and reboot it comes back after boot.  Really a fix to the problem would be nice by anyone..... Microsoft, Toshiba, Intel, anyone...... 

  • Satellite L655-S5150 Poor connection to wireless on Battery after BIOS update.

    Hi Folks, New to the Forum. Sorry if this was previously covered; however need help.
    Brand new Satellite L655-S5150. Updated BIOS and Eco via Toshiba Bulletin board a few days ago and have experienced wireless connection cutting in and out. Noticed it only happens while on battery power. Tried changing driver power options with no luck(I did not restart after making this change) and then changed back to default. Is there a fix for this? Should I roll back BIOS? Should I return for another PC?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Alex
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I am not sure what is going on? I have the same laptop. I have flashed my BIOS twice. I am not sure what to say. I have never had any kind of problems with anything. I bought a Cissco ethernet router that handles all bands. I hooked the router up to comcast turned the laptop on and all was done. Get this, then I bought a LexMark 3 all in one printer. Set it up turned it on and started printing with no cables used, wireless. Deal is I have been working with computers for 20 years. The other deal, if I am not infront of the computer that is having problems it is hard for me to tell what is going on. I just don't get it. You should be able to plug it in and go for it. If you have questions I will do my best to answer them. Maybe if I can talk one through it it can be passed on.

  • Yoga display turns off after 1 minute

    I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?

    This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time. See http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-us/ace4085a-b0ba-4a98-898d-cd92d9e88e13/window... for some detail.

  • W520 - now changes to "projector only" whenever display turns off in power save mode

    I have my W520 in a dock with an external monitor. The display is configured to Extend - the external monitor is primary, and the desktop extends onto the W520 screen. I don't have a screen saver. I turn off the display after 30 minutes of inactivity. Until recently both the laptop and monitor screens would turn off after 30 minutes, and then both resume when I moved the mouse or pressed a key.
    Recently, the system has started changing to "Projector Only" when the display turns off. After resuming from power save mode, only the external monitor activates, and the W520 screen is disabled. I have to use Fn-F6 to switch back to "Extend" to re-activate the laptop screen.
    I have rebooted and re-saved the power plan.
    Why has this happened, and how do I fix it?

    Hi, timg11
    I have a few questions so that I may gain a better grasp of this issue:
    1) What is your machine type and model? You can find this information on the bottom of your machine. It should be in format XXXX-XXX.
    2) What is your operating system?
    3) Does this issue occur is the computer is not in the docking station? (Please try if you haven't already).
    Thanks in advance,
    Adam

    When did you get this firmware version?  My TBD is at 22.2 and the TBD bus is at 23.4.  I thought I had the latest firmware.

  • White Stripes/Display Turning Off

    Last night I noticed a bunch of white stripes flicker for about a quarter of a second on my display. This happened multiple times. I shut it down with no problems.
    Today I had no problems until everything froze. I could move the mouse, but it would not change from a text cursor. I manually shut it down.
    I turned it back on, after a few minutes I had the same issue.
    I turned it off manually, unplugged the power for about a minute, plugged it back in and turned it on. After a few minutes the white stripes flickered. I decided to back up everything. After about 10 minutes, during the backup process, the screen went black. I could feel that the computer was still on, but the display was black. I manually turned it off.
    I have now been on for about 30 minutes with no problems. The computer was very hot when the display went black. Is it possible that this is an overheating problem?
    Any suggestions?

    The iBook has a seperate display dimming (display turns off) and sleep mode timers. Go into the system preferences>energy saver to set these preferences. When your display turns off you should be able to reawaken it by pressing a key on the keyboard. Turning it off is not the best solution. If the problem happens while you are still using it or it doesn't awaken when you hit a key then you may need to post here again.

  • L305D-S5935 Unresponsive After Display Turns Off

    I have a L305D-S5935 running Windows Vista and it becomes unresponsive after the display turns off as set to do so in the power settings.  I cannot push any key or button or move around on the mouse pad to get it to turn back on.  This is very frustrating and the only way to get it to come back on is to to a hard restart.

    Turn off your laptop, unplug all wires, remove the battery, and hold the power button for thirty seconds. Afterwards, reattach the battery and connections.
    Then reinstall TVAP.

  • Satellite L655-S5150 Mic problem.

    Waiting for a response - ray
    When I try to record video / sound with my lap, the first pieces of sound comes clear but after 5 seconds or so, the sound goes down, when I want to record myself playing guitar, I can only hear the first 10 seconds, after that the mic "adapts" to the sound or something and lowers itself down, so the sound of the recording starts going down until it mutes and only lets very hard sounds get in the recording.
    Sorry for my English,

    Reinstalling your Toshiba supplied sound driver is a good place to start and should not hurt anything. Download this file to your desktop and double click to install it.
    Conexant Audio Driver(v4.119.0.60)
    But, the proper method is really going to depend on the sound recording software you are using. What software are you using to record yourself playing guitar?  Are you only recording through a microphone?  Are you using the computer's built-in microphone?

  • Satellite A75-S229 often turns off without any reason

    Satellite A75-S229 often turns off without any reason, everything ok with the AC power, the battery is allways remaining 100%. What's wrong? maybe the battery is too old (about 2 years) and need to be changed?
    THANX!

    Hi
    Was the AC adaptor connected to the notebook during the automatically shut downs?
    If yes then I dont think the old battery is a reason for the shut downs.
    I presume this is a simply overheating issue. Did you ever clean the cooling modules in this notebook?
    The notebook is about two years old and maybe a dust and debris inside the notebook could have a bad influence on the air circulation.
    I think the professional fan cleaning will help to avoid the random automatically shut downs.

  • TS3700 My ipod stills pauses when the display turns off, even though, my headphones are correctly attached (or flushed)

    My ipod stills pauses when the display turns off, even though, my headphones are correctly attached (or flushed)

    Does this happen still when you use another set of headphones? Have you check to make sure the headphone jack is clean and clear of debris?  If so, the jack may be faulty or damaged meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service/repair.

  • Windows 8.1 Screen Locking at Display Turn Off (instead of only at Sleep)

    Hi All,
    I am having this issue with clients running Windows 8.1 Enterprise, which we are planning to deploy later on this summer.
    We currently have a GPO setup for managing the power settings on our staff computers:
    This GPO sets computers to sleep after 1 hour, but turn off the monitor after 5 minutes of inactivity
    On our Windows 7 systems, the policy applies correctly and if our staff uses their computer before 60 minutes of inactvity (before they go to sleep),
    the screens will just turn back on without prompting for login.
    I have noticed however on our Windows 8.1 test computers, in the same OU, which receive this policy, that after 5 minutes when the screen goes off, if a staff member attempts to use their computer they will be prompted for a password even though the
    unit was not in sleep mode.
    Further more, I've noticed that on the Windows 8.1 Systems, I am able to override the "Require a Password on Wakeup" setting using the metro interface, as pictured below (the setting does change in power options as seen below), and does stay in
    the No setting even if I run gupdate and reboot.
    Any idea how to keep the Require Password for waking up, but not just for computer with the screen powered down?
    (I should also not screen savers are not being used)

    Hi,
    You can tried also set the item Sleep: After 60 min to see what's going on.
    On my laptop, once I configure this, the display turns off without lock the computer.

  • Macbook pro 15" and 17" display turns off whilst working then.......

    I have 2 macbook pros. One 17" and the other 15" both are the non unibody ones. The 15" had this problem a while ago but my 17" never did it until today and then it did about 5 mins ago.
    Whilst I am working (never seems to happen when I am not using it) the display turns off whilst working. The power light remains constant (ie:- not fading in and out when asleep). But here is the strangest thing. The mac repetitively makes the same noise as if it was ejecting a disk. Has anybody else had this? Know a cure? I recently upgraded to snow leopard but don't think this is a software issue.

    I got the same problem with mine, 15". I bought it refurbished from apple store. I had this problem when i bought it then nothing happened for 4 months. But now my MBP has started doing it again. And i don't think it's a software issue. My display switch on after few sec, or 1-2 mins it's depends, and it's pretty random. i'm a bit of worry

  • Mac display turns off?

    Hello everyone,
    I don't understand why my Mac display turns of automatically when another electronic device is brought near it. The system is still running but the display just goes black and Mac logs the user out. The other day I got off the phone while working and I put the phone on the left side of the Mac just above the speakers and display went black. I pressed the keys but in vain. I removed the phone and put it back in the dock. The display comes back to life with me logged out.
    The happened many times after it and before the incident but the thing I observed it, the display turns off when an electronic device is brought near it. The weird thing, it turned off when I put the Mag Safe pin on the speaker noticing that the power is full. Is it due to some kind of interference of the Mag Safe's(other devices) magnetic field with Mac's power ciruits? I also noticed that this happens only when the device in context is on or plugged in. I just want to make sure that thats the reason or my Mac has some problem!!

    You should call Apple service number they will surely help you. You should find it in your computer's documentation. Good luck!
