Tecra R10 - Unusual TFT screen problem

My Tecra has developed a problem where a column of pixels will appear to shimmer. Pressing on the bevel directly beneath the affected screen area fixes the problem but temporarily. Seems like something is loose - but what?
Some things I have noticed/tried:
- Happens in different OSes and even on the boot screen
- Does not appear on external monitor
- Is not heat related
- Happens in different parts of the screen (although one section is particularly prone to it)
- Typically affects a section of the screen abot 3-4cm wide and goes from bottom to top of the screen
Any ideas/thoughts?
Thanks...

I've had this issue, and it is definately something that is loose inside.
It started on the right hand side of the screen, annoying, but I lived with it for ages. Then one day I managed to accidentally kick my screen, and the problem completely disappeare.
Only to begin to reappear dead centre.
Its starts a small shimmer, and gets worse over time, - it seems like there is something that is sticking to a contact somewhere in the screen.
I've now just tried to fix the shimmer in the middle of the screen by applying a similar 'kick', but of course have made the shimmer significantly worse. And it's in the middle which is really not very helpful.
I'm going to investigate if I can take the screen apart and find the culprit, - if the problem can move around with a tap, it's definately something loose in there....

Toshiba 3G F3507G broadband appears three times in device manager (network card, modem, and com port)
However, When I start wireless manager, the 3G device doesn't get recognized!
Thanks For your help

Tecra R10-14C - Very slow start up

Hello All
I have Tecra R10-14C and with recover software Windows Vista business 32 bit all the time when I turn on the notebook it takes a long time (from 15m to 25m) to start Windows, just in turn on notebook. But when I restart the notebook from Windows is is normal startup.
I try to install Windows Vista through Toshiba HD Recovery software, and the same problem. The problem when turn on after shutdown, but in restart case is normal boot and very fast.
Please help me

The BIOS screen can be passed properly but it hangs on windows booting screen for 20min. But this does not happen while booting the notebook for a second time
Hmm strange
My first idea was that some background processes are running in the background or tries to load at the beginning of the booting process. But usually this should happen also while booting the notebook for a second time.
So its a little bit strange
Theoretically it could be also a HDD malfunction. Maybe some bad sectors on the HDD cause this
You could try to test the HDD using a Drive Fitness Test software.
Google for Drive Fitness Test and you should be able to download this tool.
Its a bootable disk which allows you to test the HDD.
If some error would be detected, then this means that HDD is not fully ok and maybe a HDD replacement would be needed.

Tecra R10-10W - Crashes with nVidia display driver

Dear Sirs,
I bought my new Tecra R10-10W two days ago. I used the Recovery Disc to set Windows XP.
However, I receive blue screens randomly. I turned on "Verifier" tool and I received: IO System Error in wmiaci.sys. Error 20e at B9B8752F. I suspected the nVidia driver and unistalled it. The problem dissappeared. But when I try to install from your site the appropriate driver: display-20081110130507.zip the system crashes blue with the same error.
Please help me.

Hi
Thats really strange, buddy
Hmm, I think before you install the display driver you should clean your system using CCleaner. This freeware tool removes old driver files and cleans the registry. Then restart the notebook install the newest driver from the official Toshiba website.
By the way, did you also update the BIOS? You can find it on the Toshiba website too. :)

TFT screen blinks strange at wake up

Hi folks,
since a few weeks I got strange problem with my TFT screen. My mini is setup to put the monitor to sleep after 20 minutes inactivity. This works flawless. However, every time the screen wakes up it starts with about one minute blinking of 'show proper image' and 'show blank screen'. It is more or less like each second switching on and off. The power LED stays on all the time, so I think it is not the power supply of the TFT.
Connection to the TFT is via DVI cable.
I tried the TFT on a laptop with VGA connection and could not find any issues. In fact I could wake up the screen and than switch back to DVI and the image stayed fine.
I tried the TFT now in my office also with DVI connection, so far no issues here.
This leads me to the assumption that something with my mini is broken. Could it be that the graphics card or the graphic card memory has problems? Is this something that lifetime warranty would cover?
Display is a Samsung Syncmaster 173T about 6 to 7 years old.
Any help appreciated.
Fogg

Quick update....
I exchanged the screen with a DELL 17" from work and this works flawless. No issues so far.
Strange enough, the Samsung works in the office with the same ease.
I will re-exchange on the weekend and see if the problems comes up again. If not than it was some kind of connection problem. If yes, .... no plan.

Update BIOS Failed on Tecra R10 with Windows7

Hello,
I have problems with updating the BIOS of my Tecra R10J. The current version is 1.4, and I want to update it to 3.0, so i have downloaded from Toshiba web site the correct file named "P006Cv300.exe" released from 11/04/2009. This is a BIOS update ONLINE into a real session of Windows 7. Simply, right click the compress exe, click run as admin and that's all but ......... for me it said :
*"[Error] The starting of service was aborted. User does not have administrator privileges"*
see below :
http://perso.orange.fr/100mo/bioserror.jpg
I've tried it with :
- closed AV, Firewall, etc ...
- disable UAC
- Run as administrator
- Tried with an another admin account
- Safe mode (bios update does not support safe mode)
- direct local administrator session
No change. Still the message "User does not have administrator privileges".
Need help please, found nothing on Google (similar Bios problem but not solved !!!!!)
Thank you

Hi and thanks for your reply.
Yes my Tecra was delivered with Vista and not 7 but the bios update i've downloaded is "os independant". I can't believe that i must reinstall Vista for successful upgrading BIOS !! It's a joke ?
When i download the bios update on Toshiba website i choose "Tecra R10" and "Windows 7 64 bits" and then donwloaded the corresponding file.
Now I 've installed VAP, reboot notebook and now i have always the same error *but i found these errors in the eventviewer immediately after executing bios update* :
+\SystemRoot\SysWow64\Drivers\Aspi32.SYS has been blocked from loading due to incompatibility with this system. Please contact your software vendor for a compatible version of the driver.+
and
+The Aspi32 service failed to start due to the following error: This driver has been blocked from loading+
and
+The NCHGBIOS2SVC service failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified.+
Any idea ?
Thank you ;)

How to How to install ATI Radeon HD2600 driver on bootcamp 3.0 windows 7 partition w/black screen problem

Ok....so i've posted this question in a different way, and i gotten several "scratch the surface" answers from people just saying to install "Ati catalyst", or insert the os x dvd and run set up.exe, and update to boot camp 3.1 or 3.2...while these all seem like great suggestions, I am finding myself needing more specific direction or "hand holding" so to speak.....here is the MAIN problem...
The Background/history
I used boot camp (3.0, and i found updates for 3.1 for imac and for windows, but can't find for mac pro, AND they all are ".exe" files which run on windows..which as you'll see is the big part of my problem...So I recently updated my mac pro (with the ATI Radeon HD2600 graphic PCIe card with 10.6.7 from 10.5.8. I created a single partitioned drive to install windows 7 professional 64 bit. The download software function didn't work (Thanks, APPLE for that poor level of support) so have to select the option that i have already downloaded, or have other media with the drivers already on it....i restarted with the windows 7 disk in....
The installation of Windows 7 Pro 64-bit
So the installation of windows 7 seemed to go flawlessly, was able to use my existing 23" hd apple cinema display (so somehow it has drivers that work with the graphics card, or maybe the motherboard's on board video components) and i select english, and install now, custom, blah, blah, blah...installation causes a few reboots, then restarts ultimately back in os x since that is the default boot os i use on this desk top and have to do the "opt" button to select booting in windows....so when i try restarting in windows, now using the actual boot drive on which i am installing it, it ran through another reboot or two, but then after that, my display goes black.... in the communities, the solution sounds super simple... "go download the ATI catalyst for the black screen problem....windows 7 doesn't have device drivers that work with the ATI radeon hd2600...no problem, just go download and install...."
The problem, re-emphasized : I cannot even finish the install for windows, because of this driver problem....i cannot see anything....I have tried to reboot in safe mode, and that then seems to invoke whatever basic drivers that do work, likely through the motherboards onboard video vs the actual graphic card, and the screen works and says that it's wanting to complete the installation, so i'm thinking awesome this is gonna work....and then.. "windows installation was not completed and cannot be completed in SAFE MODE, need to restart, blah, blah, blah" pops up...and forces reboot...so Safe Mode allows me to see, but won't allow me to finish the install of windows 7...and without completing the install i can't run (ranther I DONT KNOW HOW TO) any of the various .exe files everyone is telling me are the solutions to my problem...like update 3.1 and 3.2 bootcamp...they're all .exe files? not sure why, because bootcamp runs in 10.6.7 i thought, but whatever...it needs running Windows to execute...then the ATI radeon hd2600 driver for windows 7 that i downloaded from the site has an installation program that is an .exe file, which needs windows to run... Does this make sense, why i can't just use these fixes, that seem to be the only fixes out there....so can someone school me step by step here (not just the highlights) of how to update bootcamp, and how to install the ati radeon driver without having been able to complete the windows 7 installation because the monitor goes and stays black????
This is so very frustrating for the record...and any substantial help "not just go download this..." would be immensely appreciated.
Some other things i've been told to try that i've tried and nothing seems to happen as i'm told it will....
---I've been told to install the osx dvd and run "setup.exe" - AGAIN...it's an exe file...and 2 - when i put in the os x file it just wants to re install 10.6...so need more help if this is even a real solution to understand how to make it work...
---I've been told to update boot camp to 3.1 and/or 3.2 from 3.0, using Apple Software Update....Well, my software update is saying everything is up to date and there is nothing new to download at all, and when i reverify the bootcamp version it is still only 3.0.2...and again downloading the updates from www.apple.com/support/ for 3.1 and 3.2...all of those are .exe files...need windows to run them...again, refer to the problem described in detail above...
---I've been referred to the black screen on imac early 2011 thread saying it should fix my problem...and reading it it SEEMED like the most promising resolution...it involves creating a boot flash drive for windows 7 and an xml file that sets the imac drivers to auto install during the windows installation..and it got me farther than anything else..but still ultimately ended up in the darned black screen...my assumption is that it's because it's for imac and not mac pro so not ati-radeon specific drivers....ok....that's enough..please...anyone who thinks they can help...your help is desperately needed...thanks so much in advance!

hey Hatter, thanks so much for getting back...so just to be super clear...is there no way to install the drivers using an exe file given my current state? no way to do it with command prompt or something? if can make work with existing card, i'd prefer it...now when you say it's 'toast' how do you mean? it works well with the os x partitions and always has...so i'm not sure i follow, just want to be clear...
Now to your point of starting with only the one drive installed...so i would put that bootcamp drive in bay 1 and disconnect the rest...i'm not totally sure what you're suggesting the effect should be of doing this? just that i'm just installing windows without the bootcamp deal...but if windows 7 doesn't support the ati radeon hd2600, it still will go black screen no? or you're saying it will run video through the motherboard if it's the only bootdrive, and will run all the way through the windows install without trying to switch over to the hd2600? (slrry flr these questions..just really want to make sure i understand what you're telling me..thanks so much for your patience and help by the way...it's very greatly appreciated...your support is priceless!
So now, assuming none of the above is possible...referring now to the ati 5770 that you referred to...you mention it works with 10.6 well, and that windows 7 supports it ...2 questions on that
1) Windows 7 supports" meaning, out of the box windows 7 supports it? or will i have to install drivers still through some update, because again, if that's how i have to do it, then won't work, cuz can't start windows to see anything to install any drivers or run any thing at all...so it would have to just work with initial installation.
2)hardware wise for my Mac Pro 3,1...intel dual quad core xeon, blah blah....will this card work? it's a PCIe and should fit on my board no prob, etc?

Trying to update OS to fix White Screen problem.

Hello, I have had my Blackberry 8520 on a Virgin contract for about a year and a half now. Recently it has started randomly just changing to a black white screen that won't allow me to turn it off or perform any functions. The way I temporarily fix this is to plug it into the charger which acts like a reboot and brings it back to normal (pulling the battery to reboot it just restores the white screen after loading). In trying to find the resolve to this problem, which I haven't yet, I rang the Virgin helpline who told me to update my OS. I currently have the version 5.0 Bundle 1096 and I am trying to update it to the 5.0 Bundle 1168. I have been having increasing problems with trying to do this. I updated my desktop software for Blackberry but updating through this software always brings up the message at the install stage (after backing up my data) - "An error has occured while downloading software for your device. Please verify your internet connection or try again later, if the problem persists." My internet is working fine and I have tried many times to update through this way. I have also tried updating through the blackberry website "web based updates area" that brings up the same message. Looking through over message boards, I tried the attempt at updating through the LOADER.EXE way. However after trying to download the OS manually to my computer, which my internet explorer thought was dangerous, it came up after with another error message - "Error 1335. The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error from reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.' I am now out of ways to try and update my Blackberry and have no idea how to solve the white screen problem. Any help would be much appreciated. Karen x

Just to specify the final type of the updating I tried was following the instructions on this links - http://us.blackberry.com/support/apps-and-software/desktop-and-device-download-sites.html I choose Europe, Virgin Media, Blackberry curve 8520. I got the software on to my computer and the error message that came up, appeared after choosing language and agreeing to the terms and conditions and starting the installation. Sorry about the big clump of writing; the post removed all of my paragraphs when I posted it. New to this! And need help! Thanks x

Screen problem making iPad unusable

My iPad2 is 15 month old and has developed a strange screen problem. It seems to have developed a mind of its own, typing ahead with random characters, doing its own thing when scrolling and trying to select in apps. Two days ago Apple support said restore to factory settings which I did. Same problem came back. Yesterday Apple support said the same thing which again I did. Same problem came back Today Apple support say it's a hardware issue out of warranty. We had a polite discussion about EU legislation but to cut a long story short, they basically said "sorry about that, but there is nothing our policies will let us do, you're on your own"
Not exactly the response I hoped for. So I've now got an iPad that is basically useless, unless I want to use it as a door stopper.
My business made a strategic commitmnt to Apple in Mid 2011 and this iPad was part of our shift away from PC/Windows. It's the first time I have needed to deal with Apple Support, and while each of the people I have spoken to have been professional, understanding and helpful, they have been unable / not allowed to assist any further.
Yes, we could have taken out Apple Care Agreements. We chose not to on the basis of 2 year statutory warranty and Apple's reputatiuon for reliability. Seems I made a big mistake here and am left wondering if we made the right decision in going down the Apple route. Our investment in Apple hardware and software is massive for an SME and our workflow depends on iPads.
I'm left with a problem. Thanks Apple.
I'm still a fan but my blinkers have been removed. No longer will you be giveen the benefit of the doubt when you screw up - Maps, WiFi etc - as you have had a direct and negative impact on my business and missed a chance to keep a very happy customer on board.
Does it help to post this? Not really, but it's off my chest.

And you are within your "rights" to post this. But you do realize that we are not Apple employees - correct? We are just other users like yourself. If you feel that you have been treated unjustly, move up the Apple chain of command. Politely demand to speak to the next higher up and go from there.

Tecra 9100, a blue screen appears

When I start up Novell GroupWise on my Tecra 9100 a blue screen appears? Very weird. Can anyone help me to stop this.

ditto--happened on my machine too. I found out that this blue screen can appear if True Color (32 bit) is selected under Colors in Display Properties. Both of you will have to download the update for the Display Driver from the Toshiba support pages. There is a txt file provided for instruction

Screen problems with photoshop elements 10

I installed Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements.
Premiere Elements works allright, but Photoshop E 10 gives screen problems.
De menu's on the top roll out, but there is no text in them.
The screen in Organiser is distorted.
I reinstalled P E 10 but the same problem accurs.
I dit a computer reset to an earlier date and installed Ph.E. 10 again but the same problem. No text in the topmenus and a distorted screen in Organiser.
Letters become 6x larger than normal.
All my other programms work fine. I never had screenproblems.
I use Elements 8 now again and that works fine.
I use: Windows 7
Card: NVIDEA GeForce GT 220 resolution 1680x1050
Do I have to remove Elements 8 before installing Ellements 10? Is that perhaps the problem?

Ken, The problem is: The buttons don't work. So I cannot use Edit...
But:
I reïnstalled Adobe Elements 10 for the 4th time
Cleaned my register again.
restarted my computer
Did a computer reset to an earlier date
Installed Elements 10 again but .......not the try version of Premiere Elements.
Now Elements 10 has a normal screen.
This was a try and error sollution. I hope it will last.

I ended up calling Apple Support twice. After first time when we checked drives etc, the second time they said we had done everything and it must be a hardware issue. It had to have a logic board replaced.

Apple macbook pro with retina display is having yellow screen problems in which screen is not perfectly white and is yellowish. More over the service frm apple's part is ridiculous as they have faulty spare part. Does ne1 hv email of senior person?

Apple service centre employee told me that they do not have this 14 day offer in India.
And My mac book pro is taken in by Service centre people to run test etc and I will be informed the next day if they accept it as a fault or not ?
I feeling ridiculously bad.

IMac G5 Graphic Card Replacement for blue screen problem

When I turn on iMac, I only see blue screen, the apple technician said Need to replace graphic card, Nvidia Gforce 7600GT 256.
1, can it install in IMac? Seem like it work for PC?
2, I had blue screen problem several time, I think I turn on iMac too long, so it burn out graphic card.
3, I have 2007 G5 24" screen model, is any durable and afford graphic card you recommend?
Where to buy for cheaper price?
Do I need to change mother board?
4, can I replace it by myself? Any picture or video for graphic card replacement?
Thank you.

If you look around, you might be able to find someone who will replace just the chip on the graphics card, which is what usually fails. It will take someone highly skilled; they really have to know what they're doing--it's not an ordinary soldering job.
Here's someone who found a non-Apple service to do this, and it proved to be far less expensive than a full logic board replacement. But I think this was in the UK.
