Hi,
I have a Toshiba M55-s139 running 7, one night everything was perfect. I turned off the unit and the next morning while booting I saw the Toshiba boot screen with a yellowish blueish color at the bottom of the screen as the boot proceeded it went to the windows boot screen with the same colors at the bottom of the screen then went black.

Thought I would try the reset routine with the battery out and power unplugged, I held the the power button for about a minute then with out the battery and just the power plugged in powered up the unit with the same results.

My question is:
Should I replace the CCFL tube or the inverter? if you think they are the problem in the first place.

Thanks for your reply
Bob

PeggyLo,

On my M55-S3292 the screen has gone very dim, in fact mostly black, unless you look very closely. I have pressed Fn+F3 & F4, and I can barely see the “sun” icon in the center of the screen when it is pressed, but it does not brighten up. I have tested the VGA port and it works. Do you have any idea what the issue might be?

Most likely it’s either bad inverter or failed backlight lamp.
1. Try replacing the inverter board.
2. If new inverter doesn’t help, replace the LCD screen.

Microbiosoft,

I not sure but I saw two very small black point in the lcd inveter maybe caused by short not sure

I doubt that your problem is related to the inverter board. The screen lights up so the inverter board works properly.
Most likely it’s one of the following:
1. Bad connection between the video cable and LCD or motherboard.
2. Damaged video cable.
3. Damaged LCD screen.

I cannot tell which one is causing the problem without testing the laptop.

kenneth geesey,

I have a toshiba satellite laptop when i open it up its lose the screen falls down? how can i fix it.

Sounds like both display hinges are broken. You’ll have to disassemble the display panel and replace both broken hinges.

Luke,

I have a satellite L20 101. It has the same diagnosis as most of the users. A vertical line appears on the right of the LCD. I have yet to try it out with an external monitor but I would like to know if it’s worth purchasing the screen online? My local Toshiba distributors charged 470euros for a replacement screen!

I think for 470euros you can buy a brand new laptop.
If you have nothing to lose, you can try replacing the LCD screen yourself. You can buy a brand new LCD screen on eBay for 110-120USD and replace it yourself.
