Satellite L750D/L755D - intermittent flashing line on screen

Hi
I have a Toshiba Satellite L750D/L755D its only 8 weeks old recently there been some flasing lines on the screen happens only a few seconds then goes
Have any one have any ideals please on this matter?

To be honest I dont know what this is. If this will happen very often I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. You have new notebook with valid warranty so best solution for you is to clarify this with Toshiba.
All you can do now is to test it with external display or with clean preinstalled OS.

Built in webcam on Satellite L750D/L755D to take snapshot photographs

I have one of the laptops named above, although admittedly I am unsure which one.
I was wondering if there was any way to use the webcam that's built in, to take snapshot photographs.
I've tried using Windows Movie Maker but it hasn't worked and I'm unable to use the webcam unless I'm in a video chat as there doesn't seem to be a way to access it 'on it's own' so to speak.
Is this possible?
Thank you

Hi
Of course you can use the built in webcam outside a video chat tool.
Usually an webcam software should be preinstalled on the notebook.
You should find it in All Programs -> Toshiba
Starting the webcam software, a webcam control bar should appear.
This bar is movable so it could appear in the upper, left, right or bottom area of the displaybut this will be visible only if you move the cursor over this area.

Appear flashing line on the screen during work

I bought Macbook Air since 1st July 14. I found the flash line appear on screen during work but it's just shot line at the first and It appears just few secs. So I thought it's not too serious to me. Till now the line is seem more longer and appear frequently. Then I decide to take it to Service centre. They said my screen is not in its position. It's just a bit, If you don't look at it exactly, you won't notice it. I don't know what happen. It's usually as it was on fist day I bought it, never be fallen it. It's still in the good condition. They fixed my problem by re-fit my screen but after I use it again I still found that flash line. what should I do? Now my air got the scratch on the screen edge from re-fitted it. I really disappoint.

I'm assuming by "flash line" you mean there's a horizontal or vertical line randomly appearing on your screen? If that's the case I've seen that on laptops before. If its an intermittent issue try to move the screen forwards and backwards on its hinge to see if you can find one spot where that line almost always appears. You should have an issue with the cable connection to the main logic board, or the cable itself could be malfunctioning.
Also what exactly did they do when they "re-fit" your screen? Did they simple check the connectors, or actually dissemble the computer and resemble it? Either way if a cable is bad then it wouldn't have made a difference. You may be looking at a warranty replacement solution on this one.

Black screen with white flashing line on startup

~computer info~
Mac OS X Version 10.6.7
2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
24 in. Montior
Startup disk: Macintosh HD
~Partition info~
FAT32 Windows XP
~issue~
Hello; I've recently encountered a problem with bootcamp that I can't find a solution to... Every time I start up the computer in boot camp, all I get is that black screen with the white flashing line. It comes up, goes to a plain black screen, then quickly comes up again. It never stops, either. I've let it run, and it won't finish.
I've had the partition for MONTHS now, and nothing like this has happened. I've had it since I upgraded to Snow Leopard awhile back, and needed to re-partition the drive. I literally had been using it the day before it happened, and the only thing that happened was that I got that "Windows Security 2011" malware, but I got rid of it fully (As I've gotten it 3 times this month). The other two times I got it, it didn't do anything. I fixed it, and went on with life. But is it possible that it broke something in the partitions inner files this time?
I ran disk utility, and it said the partition was broken. After verifying it and confirming this, I did "Repair Drive", as it allowed me to. It finished with no errors and said it completed, so I tried to go back into the partition, but it gave me the same results.
To be honest, most of my stuff is on my External Harddrive, so re-doing the partition is only going to be time used to me. But I still DO have things on there, and it'd be a pain to transfer them back and forth between the Mac and Windows partitions... I'd really like to know if there's anyway to fix this, or if it's just going to fall back to me re-partitioning the drive...
Thanks for the help in advance.

That blinking line is a "cursor." It's only supposed to show for a second or two as your iMac switches to and then starts Windows. But as you indicate here, it's not getting past the cursor..
Disk Utility can repair FAT volumes, but it cannot correct issues caused by corrupted items which, if the volume was repaired, there may be some.
Since we are dealing with a Windows boot partition, it's entirely possible that the repairs inadvertently corrupted the data Windows needs to start and run. It's also posible that Mac OS, in fixing the Boot Camp volume, overwrote the existing boot record in the Windows partition with a generic, though non-bootable version.
Windows' own CHKDSK should have been used to make the repairs rather than the OS X Disk Utility, which would have avoided this worst-case scenario in data recovery. CHKDSK has a special version of itself on the Windows disc, which may be accesed by using the Windiws Recovery Consile upon pressing R during the "Welcome to Setup" screen.
Though it appears ftom my position here that you will need to reinstall XP, it may yet be possible to recover data that hasn't been copied to the external HDD. For this task, I'd like to recommend that you start up in Mac OS for the time being, and pull any new or changed items from the Boot Camp volume except for installed software; the latter are nearly impossible to transport with reasonable accuracy, and should instead be reinstalled.
Once you have what you need, format your Boot Camp volume and reinstall Windows, this time selecting NTFS as your filesystem. NTFS is the preferred option for Windows in general, thiaks to its innate file access controls as well as the ability to compress or encrypt data "on the fly." NTFS can be read by Mac OS X, but not written from it, thus NTFS volumes cannot be altered except by Windows itself.. But it is also a requirement if you plan to upgrade your unit using Windows 7 in future.

Anyone else having plroblems with a red outter line flashing on their screen ramdomly since the latest upadate??

Since Verizon ran an update on my stellar couple days ago,My phone has been a little weird. Now it vibrates every time I get a message or anything for that matter. But the red flashing line around the screen is driving me crazy. Not sure what it is or if there is now something wrong with my phone. Anyone out there having this problem??

Check the development options in the phone settings. The red outline sounds like one of the options for developers was turned on.

Satellite L750D - Black screen with sound in media players

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L750D and running Windows 7. When I play a video file (any format) windows media player opens and starts to play but I only get sound, no picture its a black screen. I tried 2 other media players (VLC and Power DVD) and the same thing happens.
Can anyone help?
I've searched online but nothing has helped so far.
Thanks.

Thanks PauPau for your reply.
I have seen this fix in another online forum, however when i open Options in WMP, there is no Advanced button on the performance tab. I have been unable to locate any options for the Video Accelaration, and no options for 'overlays'.
This problem is not just with WMP, i've tried other players and get the same problem. When WMP is open on the video file, i can see the thumb nails with a picture of the video, but when i open them the picture is black but sound is ok. This is the same for the other media players as well.
Another suggestion i read was to turn off WMP in windows programs, then reboot and then turn WMP back on. This didn't work either. I have also checked the driver and there is no yellow flag on this to say there is a problem.
My last option at this point is to resotre back to factory settings, but i'll use this as a last resort.
Your suggestions are appreciated.

2010 Macbook pro freezes a lot, but mouse still moves. It unfreezes if you wait. It also hard crashes... Also, weird lines and screen flashes.

I have a 2010 Macbook pro running snow leopard (Mac OS 10.6.8). First off, this has been the worst computer I've ever owned or have heard of someone having, Mac or PC. There hasn't been a time where something hasn't been wrong. I'm going to list my specs, my current problems and maybe list previous problems after that. Any advice or suggestions would be great. My brother works for apple out in Cali and I've been sending him crash and bug reports and he can't seem to figure out what's going on.
Specs:
2010 Macbook Pro (Mac OSX 10.6.8)
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics Cards: Intel HD Graphics (288 VRAM) and a NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M (512 VRAM)
(if you want more info, just ask)
To start things off, my computer hard crashes at random points playing basically any game. StarCraft 2 (when I could play the game prior to Blizzard patching my OS out of the minimum requirements), League of Legends, MineCraft and others all crash while in use. My computer screen suddenly flashes white and then to black and whatever audio may have been playing in the past second of gameplay is thrown into a constant loop. The screen is solid black with no mouse and there is no keyboard functionality. The only thing I can do is hold down the power button. I first started noticing this problem back when StarCraft 2 Heart of the Swarm came out. I would crash every 4 or 5 games in this way. Since that was happening I resorted to playing other games such as League of Legends. I wasn't having any trouble at all, but gradually it started to have the hard crashing issues. Initially every handful of games, now it crashes in roughly 50% of the games I play. This happens while I have NO other applications open and this has happened even after a complete restart with only 2 things opening at startup. League started crashing in this way after I brought my computer in to have a fan replaced.
Another thing which has started happening since I had my fan replaced at the apple store: My computer has become very sluggish at times and my computer freezes in another way. Many times a day, I will find I click on something in an application and the entire computer locks up. There's no spinning beachball. There's no movement of any sort on the screen and there is no button functionality, but I can move the mouse. Clicking does nothing. This sort of freeze lasts for about 30 seconds up to 5 or 6 minutes or so. After that, it suddenly just decides to work again. I can tell when it unfreezes because the clock in the corner jumps to the correct time. This has happened frequently while using Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari. It also happened while trying to use Skype. It was freezing the most when facebook or youtube has been open, but it happens without that happening as well. One of the first times I noticed it, earlier this year, I was searching for work and tried to go to this website: http://www.nhab.org/ (looking for a job). It froze my computer as I described above (and I didn't know it would unfreeze after several minutes, so I thought my computer was completely frozen). I restarted, went to the same website and it froze again. I did this a third time and it froze again, so I restarted again. On the fourth try, it loaded. The frequency of this problem is ridiculous. I actually decided to delete Google Chrome from my computer (and its support files) since my computer would freeze the most often with Chrome (though I used Chrome mostly for youtube and watching tv shows online). Almost instantly after deleting Chrome, my computer was running significantly faster. things loaded quicker in other browsers and aplications loaded smoother. My text no longer lagged when typing in facebook... It hasn't solved the freezing, though the freezing tends to last less time now.
Another thing that happens, which I am not sure is normal: When my computer is booting, after the grey screen, it changes to light blue. During this light blue time, often times white horizontal centimeter to inch wide bars will flash across the screen near the top. This also happens on shutting down. I also noticed that when it shuts down the screen doesn't just shut off. The screen flickers quick for up to a second and then it is off. It doesn't just turn off.
My computer has also occassionally flashed for a brief fraction of a second, to the blue start up color and back to whatever I am doing.
Those are all issues I am having right now and I am beginning to wonder if this several thousand dollar computer is capable of doing much more than just writing text..
Prior issues I have had:
Right from the start, I have had major graphical issues which I showed to the people at the apple store and they reinstalled flash, but they really didn't know what was going on. These glitches would tiles previous graphical things I had done in an artistic mozaic across my desktop, replacing my background image with broken mozaics. It's hard to explain without showing, so here are 2 screenshots from it:
The people at the store thought it was just flash... but I don't understand how that could be flash. I would have to flip through different desktop backgrounds I used to make it go away. After it doing this for 2 years, it has only happened once since then and not very badly..
Another issue I had: The battery on my laptop just about exploded... I woke up one morning with my laptop sitting on my night stand as usual, but there was a small crack across part of my trackpad. I was scared because I thought I must have done something... I went to the bathroom, took a shower and when I came back the crack was farther across the trackpad. I had breakfast, came upstairs and my trackpad had 1 crack across the whole thing with multiple mini cracks going in every direction from it. After telling my brother what was going on, he quickly said that it was the battery and to take it to a store. I took it to the store and showed them what was happening and they very quickly took it out back and I quote "threw the battery in a firesafe immediately" because when they opened the laptop it started to quickly expand. This ended up cracking my trackpad as well as bending the bottom of the body on the laptop. All had to be replaced...
Then I had the fan sounding like a weedwacker, so I had it replaced a couple months ago and a couple months ago is when the freezing began, the computer started running slowly and all games crash the computer.
I have had a lot of things go wrong, not a lot of things go right and I'm really frustrated. Can anyone tell me how to get my computer to stop freezing or how to make it stop hard crashing during any of the games I play?
Basically, what I have done so far is reset the PRAM I think? I held command + option + P + R on start up and had it chime 3 or 4 times. Other than that, I don't know what to do.... suggestions?

I just wanted to follow this up by saying that you were entirely correct in your diagnosis of the situation. My computer did have the faulty part you linked to. I brought my laptop in and specifically told them to run that test, had it fail and then argued with the person at the genius bar and the manager. Eventually they offered to have it sent out and have everything replaced for free of charge. They did so mainly because I had complained about graphical issues almost every other time I had come in with problems and no one ran the test. They should have caught this problem during my warranty, but they didn't, even though I mentioned the problem.
Anyhow, after having the part replaced, I haven't had my computer crash a single time since, or had many of the issues mentioned above. I've never had this experience before. Even brand new, I got occasional crashes. Hopefully this new trend continues.
I do find that web browsing is still incredibly slow. Web browsers just chug along at a slow pace, even though I have great internet speed. Maybe I'll try just deleting my web browsers and reinstalling them...
Anyhow, thank you for your help and knowledge Clinton.

Very unusual behaviour of Satellite L750D-14R

One of my kids has a Satellite L750D-14R laptop and a couple of weeks ago were complaining that the laptop was running slowly. It *was* running slowly - it took 10 to 15 actual minutes just to load minecraft, and then the game was unplayable because it was so slow. It already had 6gb of RAM. To try to fix it, I reinstalled Windows 8 (when we purchased it, it came with windows 7, and I upgraded it to Windows 8.1), did all the system updates, then did the windows 8.1 update.
It seemed to be ok at this point, faster. But it started to blue-screen regularly, like every time it was used. I tried another reinstall, this time installing Windows 8.1 directly. I did all the system updates etc, and it started to blue screen again. By this time I'd already spent an inordinate amount of time trying to fix it. This time I went for the full-on nuclear option and completely formatted the drive including removing all the partitions. There were 3 partitions, a very small recovery partition, and the system and data partitions. I figured I wouldn't need recovery - if there were problems I could format and reinstall again. So I blew away all of the partitions and consolidated them into a single partition on the drive.
Now the laptop is completely unusable. With the original Toshiba HDD (freshly formatted) installed the laptop just boots directly to a blue screen that says:
"Recovery, your PC needs to be repaired. The application or operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors. File: \WINDOWS\System32\winload.exe
Error code: 0xc000000f
You'll need to use the recovery tools on your installation media. If you don't have the installation media contact your system administrator of manufacturer.
Press enter to try again
Press F8 for start up settings"
Pressing enter or F8 just makes the screen flicker for less than a second, then it goes back to the same message again. It doesn't try to boot, it doesn't show the BIOS or any normal start-up messages, or the Toshiba logo or anything.
With a brand new, freshly formatted HDD, the laptop does nothing when I switch it on - completely black screen just with a flashing cursor at the top left of the screen. It doesn't boot to BIOS, there are no system messages or logos, I can't type at the cursor, it just sits there blinking indefinitely.
It's like there was something on the 'recovery' partition that stops users from upgrading the HDD or something - any drive that doesn't have this 'special' recovery partition won't work, thus ensuring that consumers buy a new laptop when it grinds to a halt instead of upgrading. This may seem cynical, but I've seen similar hardware anti-upgrade solutions in the past - Compaq PCs used to have special plastic notches molded onto optical drives so that the drives could only be used in Compaq chassis.
Just to put this into context, I'm not a certified or qualified computer scientist or anything, *but* I was a desktop support engineer for a very large company for a long time a few years ago. I've built, repaired and upgraded hundreds of computers over a period of around 20 years, and in all that time, I've never seen a problem like this. What I mean is, I'm not a total computer novice! Usually a full format and reinstall fixes anything but broken hardware, and this doesn't feel like a broken hardware problem.
The laptop is between 1 and 2 years old. I'm pretty sure laptops should last longer than this. I don't really want to bin it yet. Is there anything I can do? Can I recreate this special anti-upgrade partition somehow?

Well, I was able to reinstall Windows 8 and 8.1 on the original Toshiba HDD, before I repartioned the drive. I've not been able to install anything on the new HDD, it doesn't give me the option to boot from disk (in order to install windows), or any other option at all.

Perfect, I didn't know this could be ordered by itself, I will try this. Although, the laptop won't let me boot from any normal CD/DVD - how will I use this recovery disc?
Thanks for the advice Joe

Satellite L750D - no HDMI video out on external TV

I have a Satellite L750D and a SyncMaster Smart TV
I want to hook up my laptop to the TV with a HDMI cable.
When connected, my laptop discovers the TV and can create an extended desktop but the TV says no signal.
I have tested the TV with another laptop and it works fine.
I deleted the display driver and was able to get some video on the television but the colour was bad and the option to extend was disabled. On top of this I was unable to change my screen resolution.
I installed the latest drivers provided by Toshiba which is dated 09/05/2011. Same issue, no signal.
Any suggestions on a fix?
Is there later video drivers I can download?
AMD suggest I go here for drivers.
All help appreciated.

Hi
I guess you installed Win 7. Right?
> I installed the latest drivers provided by Toshiba which is dated 09/05/2011
There is a newer display driver released at 04/13/12 [AMD display driver v8.911.6 Windows 7 - 64 Bit|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=178&selProduct=6463&selSh ortMod=null&language=13&selOS=30&selType=all&yearu pload=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=a llMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=al l&selectedLanguage=13&type=all&page=2&ID=81347&OSI D=30&driverLanguage=42]
Install this one.
Furthermore you should install other tools like Toshiba Value Added Package, AMD Display Tool, ATI Sound Driver as well as Conexant Sound driver and others.
Then you should be able to use FN + F5 in order to switch to the external video output

Scattered digital lines across screen

There are lines scattering across my screen. They look like lines that are broken up pieces of the picture flashing across the screen. Any ideas?

There are a small number of softwre issues that can cause this kind of problem, but before digging any further, there are two hardware resets that might help.
The first is resetting PRAM (the non-volatile memory where system settings are stored). To reset this, shut the system down, and then press the power button to the right above the keyboard to power on the MacBook Air. Immediately press and hold the "Command-Option-P-R" keys until you hear the startup tone twice.
In some situations that may resolve an issue of this kind. If it doesn't help, the next is a System Management Controller (SMC) reset. Again, shut the MacBook Air down, make sure the power adapter is plugged in, and then; On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time. Then release all the keys and the power button at the same time. Then press the power button to turn on the computer.
test it to see if that has resolved the problem. If not, post back with any further details you can, such as whether this issue happens when running any particular software, or under any predictable and repeatable circumstances.

HT1338 Green lines across screen

I was just using my mac as usual when suddenly bright green lines started flashing on my screen. It has done this a bit recently, but it would flash for about 2 seconds and then go back to normal, this time it has stayed! I am assuming it is a loose wire connection somewhere or something like that. Someone please help!

Reset PRAM. http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
Best.

Initial OS set-up interrupted on Satellite L750D

When i do this nothing happens other than this same message reappearing. I have no idea what to do now. How do I restart the intitial start up process? Please help!

Hi
Are you able to access the HDD recovery?
Press and hold the 0 (zero) key and at the same time, press the power button once to switch on your notebook.
When the machine starts beeping; release the 0 key.
When prompted by the warning screen; click Yes to continue with the system recovery.
Select Recovery of Factory Default Software; click Next.
Select Recover to out-of-box state; Click Next again. Click Next to start recovery
If this will not be possible that this means that the master boot record is damage and you will need to reinstall the windows again.
In such case you will need to order the recovery disk (I assume you are from Australian)
