Screen on Satellite C series is black with white writing

Hi,
I need help, I have only had laptop for a few weeks so still getting used to it.(first computer).
It was working fine but now I have a black screen and all the writing is white and yellow.
Either I or my kids have touched something we shouldn't have, it still works fine just the screen is annoying
and not all the icons show up.
Also need help regarding a printer to use with this laptop, which one is best to use.
Thanks for any help you can give me Jo.

Im not 100% sure but I presume someone has changed settings in Personalization.
Click with right mouse button on the desktop and choose option Personalization. There you can see options for High contrast Themes. I presume one of this option was changed.
If you want to have original design click on Toshiba theme listed under Installed Themes.
Test it please and let me know if this works.
> Also need help regarding a printer to use with this laptop, which one is best to use.
Offer is pretty big so I think you should visit nearest shop and pick up some info about offered printers. I can just recommend you to buy laser printer. Which one? Check the prices. I don't know how much you can pay for it. ;)

  • No Apple boot screen on new iMac - Just black with white writing on boot

    Hi All,
    I have just purchased a new 3.06Ghz iMac and whenever I turn it on, or shut down, I do not get the Apple boot screen, I just get a black screen with a long list of white writing on it. This appears for about 5 seconds and then the usual desktop loads.
    Is there a way that I can get the usual apple boot screen to return? I have not done anything to the machine as it is brand new out of the box and it has been doing this since first boot.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It was just a simple case of removing the verbose boot settings which I found a script for after searching on Google.

  • The screen on my ipod mini is black with small dots.  It looks like space.  Can I do anything to fix it?

    Hi,
    My screen on my ipod mini is black with small dots.  It looks like space.  Does anyone have any suggestions, please?
    Thank you. Cindy

    This is an iPod mini, not the iPod nano in your profile info?
    If you have not already, try doing a reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1320
    This restarts the iPod.  It is not erased.
    If that does not help, the next thing to try would be a Restore (as long as the iPod is still recognized by iTunes when connected.  The Restore button is in the iPod's Summary screen in iTunes.  This DOES erase the iPod, reinstall its software, and set it to default settings.  If a software problem on the iPod is the cause, a Restore should fix it.
    If the screen still has this problem after doing a Restore, it is likely to be a hardware problem on the iPod.

  • Black screen with white writing on boot - then nothing...

    Ok, this is a long story, but here's the abridged version;
    I have a mac mini - the old PPC version. It has just come back from being repaired - replacement logic board. However, repaired it is not. Every time i try to start it up, I get a brief white screen with grey apple logo as normal, and then a black screen with white writing on. The writing is exactly the same text as you can see in the console system log. It gets about a page-full through this, and then goes completely black. No video at all.
    However, the machine is still working in there - I know this because I'm typing on it now via VNC. It is perfectly happy and all. It just does this weirdness start up and then no video.
    My question is twofold:
    1. The company that repaired it claims that it booted fine before they gave it back to me; however, it hasn't since I've had it back. Could the boot behaviour be some kind of diagnostic thing they left on my machine, or a mode they left it in. If so, how do I get rid of it?
    2. Failing this, does it sound like my vidoe card packed up maybe?
    Thoughts, solutions, etc., most welcome!

    Have you
    tried to simply do a clean install of Mac OS X and
    your other software? I normally find that this fixes
    90%+ of all unexplained software related issues.
    I could, but (a) I'm not convinced it's not related to the replacement logic board and thus a hardware issue, and (b) I can't see to do a clean install because it has no video signal

  • Weird parts of screen and icons turning black with white bands?

    So I've been getting these weird flashes on my screen, mostly when using the internet, but also sometimes icons appear similar to the flashes as pictured below... it should be the calculator app icon but instead it's black with white streaks.
    Or here's the link for a better view:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4ldthLn49zAmGLhSypdgog?feat=directlink
    I see it mostly when loading a page on the internet... for a split second the whole frame turns black with white horizontal streaks. I tried to get a screen capture of it but it happens too fast. The whole monitor doesn't turn black, just the window I'm using.
    I did a little research and think it might be screen artifacts and maybe my graphics card is going bad... but can someone confirm or deny this? Does it sound like something else? It seems to be getting worse... so I want to get it taken care of.
    Any help would be great.
    Here's my graphics card info... *i think*
    GeForce FX 5200:
    Chipset Model: GeForce FX 5200
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 64 MB
    Vendor: NVIDIA (0x10de)
    Device ID: 0x0321
    Revision ID: 0x00a2
    ROM Revision: 2060

    Boot off your original G5 Install Disk while holding down Option/alt key to select AHT, then run the extended Apple Hardware Test.
    It sounds like the Video card, but you might also Get Temperature Monitor - 4.51 to see if it's heat related...

  • Why is the toolbar in safari now black with white text after upgrading ipad 2 to ios7?

    My (retired) mum downloaded ios7 onto her ipad 2 yesterday but is now complaining that when she launchez Safari and uses google, the toolbar at the top of the screen is black with white text. She remembers something popping up during upgrade in the left of her screen about Privacy (?) which she clicked. Is there any way to return the tool/menu bar to its standard white with black text? Thanks.

    Tap the blue + sign in the upper right part of the toolbar. That will open a new tab with Favorites on the screen, if she has favorites in Safari. In the lower left corner she will see the word Private. Tap that to return to normal viewing mode again.

  • When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background. i am on a Windows 7

    When I open a pdf in Adobe Acrobat xi pro it is not displaying correctly. If a file is all black with orange writing, I will see only the orange writing. Its not until i print it or open crop pages dialog box that i see the background.
    i am on a Windows 7 professional PC, 64-bit.

    If anyone is reading this still looking for what caused the issue and how to fix it here is what I discovered.
    The antivirus program our company uses, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus, was causing some of the PDF files not to open. After troubleshooting the different modules and settings the culprit was..
    Scan SSL in Privacy Control Settings. Turning it OFF solved the problem and all the PDF files that previously would not open now open just fine. This issue has been sent to Bitdefender for them to review. If you use a different antivirus program and are having this issue try locating the Scan SSL setting and see if turning it off solves the problem.

    You changed the proper preference, but you don't need to relaunch iTunes. You do, however, need to click the blue OK button at the bottom right of the preferences window. The change will happen then.

  • Black background/white writing

    Hi there,
    Just wondered if anyone knows of a phone that has a black background with white writing on all parts of the phone? Most phones at the moment have the facility to change it but the texts normally come up with white background/black writing.
    It's basically for someone who has trouble with their sight, and I'm just trying to find a suitable phone for them. If anyone knows of any downloads either, that would be great.
    Thank you for your help!
    Clara

    An S60 phone with the appropriate theme should do the trick.
    Take a look at http://www.forum.nokia.com/devices/matrix_all_1.html and filter on S60 devices, and you'll get a list of suitable phones.
    As for themes, there are loads of them to download. Some of the best are available from http://taiebthemes.com - another place is http://www.zedge.net where you can even design your own theme.

  • My black screen with white writing and is non responsive

    Since this morning, the screen on my iphone 4s randomly went black and the apple logo appeared, the some white writing on the top also appeared. I've tried pressing the lock and home button at the same time several times and charging it but I have had no luck. I've also tried connecting it to my itunes on my laptop but it doesn't respond at all and my laptop doesn't even recognise that its been plugged in.
    I've tried to chat online to apple but they need my serial number which i can't get as my phone isn't working properly, I can't open the sim holder and my laptop is new and for some reason itunes doesn't have my iphone info on it unless its plugged in.
