Why do screen of Satellite A100 flashes when switched off?

Hi,
I have a toshiba A100,Go 7600 Gpu, just bought it two weeks ago, and im very satisfied with the quality and performance so far :), just noticed one thing today, the room light was off and the laptop switched off with the screen in open position, i leave it open normally when at home, i noticed that the screen flashes like every 1 min in what seems like fixed interval of time, with or without AC plugged in, not a very bright flash though not easily noticed, but im sure it does flash, so my question is should i be worried about that? thanks in advance :)

> Now that Im not getting any feedback on this should I be worried?
Maybe nobody has noticed something similar on the A100.
Im an A100 owner and I have not noticed anything like this issue.
You write above:
>not a very bright flash though not easily noticed
I think nobody stare at the display and wait till something will flash while the OS shuts down
So please dont be mad at me because I think either you have some kind of hallucinations ;) and you are little bit paranoid or there is really something wrong and you need a help from the ASP.
So if you think this is an display fault then try to contact the ASP in your country and explain the guys this problem.
Good luck

  • Why is my ipad still using battery power when switched off & locked away with no one using it?

    Why is my IPad still discharging battery when switched off and locked away - with no one using it?  Charged it to 100% on holiday and locked in safe.  2 days later it was at 76%!

    How is it "switched off"? Are you pressing the button on the top so the screen goes black? If so, that isn't shut off, but put to sleep. I will still be doing things in the background and using battery power.
    To shut it fully off, press and hold the button on top, you will get a notification on the screen that says "Slide to power off". Slide the button and it will turn completly off.
    If this is how you switched it off, let us know and we will see what else we can figure out.

  • My ipod touch 4th gen froze! blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off, or connected to my laptop

    my ipod touch 4th gen froze! only blank white screen and doesn't respond when turned off or connected to my laptop!

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • Zen Micro lose Power when Switched OFF??

    Hello,
    I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem as me. I fully charged my Zen Micro last night and then left it and just switch it on for the first time now (8 hours later), and the battery indicator shows 2 bars left?
    Seems like the Zen Micro loses power even when switched off!?!
    Can anyone confirm that this is the case and whether I can do anything to stop it from happening? Is this normal with Hard Dri've MP3 player or only with the Zen Micro?
    Thanks.

    <EDIT: (April st, 2005):<<FONT color=#330000>JazzMC has taken the initiati've and written a sort of FAQ and put together a website with all the information to date gathered in one place regarding this power drain of the Zen Micro while off (in standby). It's a great read for those who want more information about the subject and probably easier than wading through this thread.<FONT color=#330000>You can view the document by clicking here: <Zen Micro Power Loss<. <FONT color=#330000>Thanks JazzMC!
    Ditto here. I did do a disk cleanup last week and the micro seems to be holding it's charge longer now. It's still draining the battery while sitting idle though according to the bar indicator, but slower (go figure?). This is my only real issue with the Zen Micro as I love it otherwise!
    One wierd thing I noticed was I charged it full then left it sit for about 3 days (checking it off and on) then on day 3 it was at one bar. So I plugged it into my home sterio and turned it on to see how long it would play for. I was really surprised to see it last a few minutes shy of 9 hours...
    Could this be a battery calibration thing instead of it just loosing charge? Like the meter misreads the batteries actual charge over time instead of it loosing power?
    Donno it's wacky, please fix Creative!

  • Black screen on Satellite A100-712 after Bios update

    I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and i did a bios upgrade, everything went well in windows and when the laptop got restarted it is stuck on the black toshiba screen which is displayed when we switch on the lapto.
    Any suggestions please, I would be very thankfull

    > i doubt toshiba didnt verify the drivers properly for all models
    Sorry but I do not agree with you. BIOS update is very sensitive part of notebook upgrade and exactly there Toshiba must be 100% sure that everything works well. As I said in my previous posting I have updated BIOS on two WXP delivered A100 notebooks. One with number PSAA9E and other one with number PSAA2E. BIOS update on both units was successfully finished and I can confirm that offered BIOS on Toshiba download page is the right one.
    Which model is your A100 (PSAxxx)? I have made BIOS update on PSAA9E because of VISTA OS installation. What is your reason for BIOS update on your A100?

  • Power Light flashes when switching on my Mac mini

    I recently experienced a strange behavior of my Intel Mac mini (Core solo CPU): After switching on the Mac I do not hear the music clip but instead the power light at the front flashes. It is a different kind of flashing than when the Mac mini is in sleep mode. It flashes with a frequency of about one period per second.
    After switching off the Mac mini pressing the power switch at the rear side for about 5 seconds and then switching on the Mac mini again the computer performed a completely normal boot process.
    I assume that the flashing of the power light does have some specific meaning. But I could not find any information about this behavior in the manual.
    Any ideas are welcome!
    Regards
    Adalbert.
    Intel Core solo Mac mini   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    I assume that there is a communication problem with
    any of the attached hardware (keyboard, maus,
    display). Are there specific light signals (flash
    sequences) for any of the peripherals not being
    detected?
    No. Logically, if the system doesn't detect a device, it would not know to give a warning that the device wasn't detected. The only indicators the system will give during startup, are the ones listed in the article to which Doug gave the link, and if your mini gives any startup warning which meets the description given in that article, then you have that specific problem with your system. The fact that the system also startup correctly at other times simply means the problem is an intermittent one. Clearly, intermittent or not, it still requires to be fixed.
    Since the mini is new (albeit from the refurb store), if you are not sure what the flashing light actually means, call Apple. The system is under warranty and if faulty, they will fix it. If you have an Apple store in reasonable reach, take the system in and talk the issue over with one of their service people.

    Is it possible to configure the M30 so that it automatically switches off the touchpad, when I plug in a usb mouse?

  • Satellite A200-1M8: monitor switches off and can't back to Vista

    Hello,
    I have Satellite A200-1M8 with original Vista. Sometimes I have some problems with dispaly (I have the newest drivers).
    The monitor switches off (not as usually but it is grey instead of black) every application run smoothly (I hear music of movie playing) but I can't back to windows.
    When I push button hibernation and I try to back to windows I see the blue screen then the computer resets.
    It happens really often and is really frustrating because my internet disconnects and downloads.
    I don't think that temperature is too high because I feel it is cool. How to repair this?
    Maybe some graphic settings or new BIOS?
    Please help me. I can't stand this!

  • 5800 unusual behaviour when switching off

    Recently I have noticed my 5800 appearing to cycle through different apps when I switch it off. For example, when I press the power button and select switch off it goes to the Vodafone welcome screen as normal but then it jumps back to the main home screen followed by a rapid cycle through contacts, messaging, calendar and even the alarm screen where it will stay for about 5 seconds and then switch itself off as normal. 
    More recently, and more of a concern was the phone attempting to connect to the internet without me wanting it to. I followed instructions on here about setting the packet data connection to "when needed" but this made no difference. So then I decided to reformat the software as suggested on here also. So I did the *#7370# trick and reformatted the software. This seems to have cured the connecting to the internet problem but the switch off problem still persists. 
    I should add that my Firmware version was up-to-date at version 21.0.025 according to PC Suite.   
    Any ideas what's up? 

    i dont know if it is unusual, but my n97 actually does the same thing. itsjust shutting down the apps as it is shutting down the phone. i would not be too alarmed with this issue if i were you. 
    You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

  • Power Mac G5 on start up it repetedly has white screen with circling icon then just switches off

    Power Mac G5... Pleas Help!!! i'm not sure if my hard drive is broken but on start up it repetedly has white screen with the circling (doing somthing) icon then just switches off. If i press alt when switching on i get a grey screen with 3 icons, 1st is like a refresh arrow button & last is a straight arrow button on pressing either of these mac just starts the white screen thing again, the middle icon is a picture of a hard drive with a blue cross in the corner & written under neath it says macintosh HD. Does this mean my hard drive has gone?

    Been there, done that.  Try a Safe Boot (holding down the shift key at boot) and see if it boots.  If it boots, then you may be having problems with either the power supply or the video card.  What video card is in the machine?
    If it does a safe boot OK, then we can troubleshoot using a verbose boot.  Verbose boot puts up a Unix Console screen and displays text output during the boot process.  When I had these symptoms, verbose boot showed me that the power supply was clicking off right after the kext to drive the GeForce 6800 card loaded.  I replaced the power supply and the problem went away.
    To initiate a verbose boot, hold down the  cmd-V combination until you see the console screen come up.  Watch the output and pay attention, because you need to remember what is being said when the machine shuts down.  You may need to repeat this two or three times.
    As an aside, often times power supplies exhibit this behavior when they have become choked with dust.  This is pretty universal after five or six years, requiring that the power supply be removed and the dust blown out with clean shop air.

  • Satellite R840-12C: cannot switch off the WiFi function manually

    I have recently purchased a brand new Toshiba Satellite R840-12C Notebook.
    The Wifi LED remains "on" and the function key does not work, in other words cannot switch off the WiFi function manually.
    Although the WiFi function remains 'on" I cannot connect to a wireless modem.
    When I go to device manager I find conflicts in "other devices" for
    1. Network Controller
    2. PCI Simple Communications Controller
    3. Unknown Device
    Tried updating drivers by connecting through ethernet cable to the modem but to no avail.
    Can someone help?

    Hi
    Did you install the WLan driver?
    The notebook seems to be equipped with the Atheros AR9285 Wlan card and in most cases the Fn + F8 button does not work because the Wlan driver is not installed or does not work properly.
    Recommend firstly deleting the WLan card from the device manager and then to reboot the notebook. After the new reboot install the new downloaded Atheros Wlan driver for this wlan card.
    Here you can find all the Wlan drivers published by Toshiba:
