Satellite M40X white screen appears
Hello,
I am an advanced pc user and have used this Toshiba as my main computer for about 1.5years now. Today while in Windows XP I was extracting some files for school and I looked up @ the tv (was watching tv at the time, had the laptop on my lap well ventilated) and back down to the laptop and all I saw was this white screen and the hard drive activity / processor light was on constantly.
I put the hard drive area up to my ear and I didn't hear it vigorously writing to the drive so I figured it was the cpu doing something weird or windows acting up. So I turned it off by holding the power button for 7 seconds. I waited about a minute and turned it back on. To my surprise the white screen stayed. It was as if it wasn't even posting (to the bios..).
I have a password on it to make it harder for anyone who would steal it to get in. I entered it and hit enter thinking it was just some malfunction that I would have to live with, waited a bit, nothing. I didn't even get to the grub loader.. The hard drive had no activity; the light wasn't on as it usually is when Ubuntu or Xp boot up...
I looked a diagram on Toshiba's Canadian site (couldn't find a canadian signup page here so I signed up as a uk user..) and it said to type FN+F5 which I knew wouldn't work because I couldn't get any output on an external screen.
It didn't. I have taken out the battery and plugged it directly in to the charger. No change, taken out the hard drive; no change there either. I am going to leave the battery out for the rest of the night, but I don't think it will make a difference... I just put the battery back in as its been out for a good 40minutes now and no change..
My only guess is the gfx card finally went. It's got the Intel GMA900 or 950 (can't remember).
Anyone have any other theories? If so is it worth spending the money to fix it or should I just get all my data off of it and move on?
Thanks in advance for your help, JoeM
Hey Joe..
They've changed the screen and the mother board... Now they tell me that my warranty has expired and I will have to pay for the repairs. I told them I bought this laptop under the good name of Toshiba, and that I hardly have used this product.
I asked them to refund or give me a discount on another product. I also said that I'm not going pay to repair it since they're repairs under warranty seem to be temporary at best. I know it doesn't hold much power to them but I belong to an organization that regularly purchases computers and laptops.

White screen appears when using AS3 wrapper file with Captivate 7
We had no problems with this in the past but now a white screen appears instead of the captivate running. The file is used when we use Captivate, streaming video, or HTML assessment. It triggers a complete signal to our LMS at the end. Is there anything that we are missing? The file is:

setChildIndex(main_HUD,numChildren-1);You'll have to do two things.. Elaborate on exactly what you mean by a white screen appears. What is turning white? Are you generating a SWF from captivate of a screen capture session, then trying to load that SWF with a wrapper and when you do so it turns white? (In that scenario, if Captivate was looking for external assets it can't find, that'd be why). Please include more details on that.
Second, code of this size pasted into the forum really doesn't help. You'll need to do the work to isolate exactly what part of the code you're seeing this white box appear. Run it in a debugger line by line until you witnesss it turn white and only share that small portion of code. And if you do choose to share a ton of code, please use a site like pastebin.com which will retain formatting and color coding, making it much easier to read, and then share that pastebin link. -
Hi can anyone help with a mac that had magnet put on it. I turned it on and then off but a white screen appears with a file with a question mark on it?
File icon with ? mark on it means it can't read from the hard drive. The hard drive is now wiped or bad. If just wiped then you will need to reinstall your operating system, OS X. If bad you will need to replace the drive.
Start with booting the computer from the OS X install DVD that came with your system. If the Mac came with Lion Pre-Installed then you use the Lion internet recovery system to reinstall (Hold down Command+r keys or Command+Option+r keys to boot the computer from over the internet to the Lion recovery HD system).
Good Luck. -

Satellite A350 - White Screen Of Death
Hi
I recently broke my screen in a temper tantrum and sent it in to Toshiba repair.
They replaced my screen. That was about a month ago.
I installed windows 7 3-4 days ago and it worked fine.
I opened my laptop one night to discover a blank white screen.
After turning it off and on, taking the battery out and in, the white screen still remained, then it randomly appeared with system restore options
I restored the system and applied a microsoft hotfix to counteract the supposed windows 7 error. it did not work.
The white screen appears when i put the laptop to sleep (shut the laptop) or shut it down.
The screen appeared again yesterday and i left it overnight hoping it would change.
My sister pulled out and put back in the battery and a screen appeared asking how you would like to start windows.
I started windows then reinstalled Windows Vista using a mirosoft setup disc.
After installing AVG antivirus it told me to restart.
I restarted the laptop and instead of the toshiba logo appearing the white screen of death appeared.
It stayed for 10-20 seconds then my laptop started.
I looked at this article (http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2008/04/13/laptop-lcd-screen-turned-white/) and it suggested the screen may have problems. Should i send it back in to Toshiba?
Can someone supply further diagnosis?
My specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450
2.13ghz
4.00GB RAM
32 bit OS
So basically i have a random white screen when i restart, turn on or bring the laptop back from sleeping. whether it recovers is a strange thing with many factors. i don't think its my OS because it happens on Vista and Windows 7
please help as much as you can. i don't wan't to take it in for repair as it may cost moneyThe screen has a 2 month warranty from the repair and the laptop still has half a year of general warranty. when the white screen appears i tried using HDMI to connect it to a TV and there was no change. Could it be due to the fact i upgraded to Windows 7? if so will they still charge me? is there any test i can do to check if it is a Hardware issue or a screen problem?
i shut the laptop for a while yesterday and my brother opened it to see the white screen. i grabbed the right side of the screen and pushed it back and the logon screen came up. what would that suggest?
thanks for the help -
Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?
Why does the apple icon come on then off then a white screen appears?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. -
my macair won't turn on. when I try to turn it on, the white screen appears. But instead of the apple logo, there is a flashing folder that has a question mark on it. how do i fix this?
Try this.
Erase and Reinstall OS X
Note: This will delete all data on the disk. Back up important files before continuing.
Erasing and then reinstalling OS X can give you a fresh start, making your computer exactly as it was whenever you received it from Apple. This can solve various problems such as corrupt system files.
Shut down the computer by going to Apple () > Shut Down…
Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter into a power source and then connect it to your Mac if you have not already done so.
Press the Power Button to turn on the computer.
Press and hold both the R and Command (⌘) keys on the keyboard until the Recovery partition loads.
Select Disk Utility and then choose Continue.
Select your startup disk (Macintosh HD by default) from the left.
Select the Erase tab.
Choose the Format pop-up menu and choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled), enter a name for your disk, and then click Erase.
After the disk is erased, choose Disk Utility > Quit Disk Utility.
Select Reinstall OS X and then choose Continue.
Follow the instructions.
I hope I solved your question.

And if you do choose to share a ton of code, please use a site like pastebin.com which will retain formatting and color coding, making it much easier to read, and then share that pastebin link. -
White screen appears while downloadaing data

Whenever I try to download the data a white screen appears before the pop up of download data. My users dont want to see the white screen before downloading any thing.

I'd be curious as to what the business need is for trying to eliminate this behavior.

Hello!
I have a MacBook Air. I have got a software update notification couple of days ago. I've clicked on it today, and it started installing updates.
But, I have got a notification telling that not all updates were installed successfully, then I have clicked on "Restart" from the notification box. Then my Mac restarted and the white screen with Apple logo and the update progress appeared (like what always happens during updates).
The problem that while the update progress reached around half the way, my Mac shutdown. I tried many times to turn it on, it turns and the same white screen appears and the update starts again and shuts down.
Please Help me!
MacBook Air (11-inch Mid 2009)Welcome to Apple Discussions
You did not state whether you installed the update while on battery (not mains) power. You are warned not to apply certain updates without being connected to a charger & mains power.
Also remove any attached peripherals.
Reboot in Repair mode (command-R at start) and use Disk Tools-Disk Utility-Disk First AId to repair your disk, and as long as you're there repair permissions. Next quit Disk Tools and reinstall the OS. After completing that successfully reboot, log in and do a combo update.
You must have more than enough (not just enough) empty (free) disk space for the update. -
