TOSHIBA LAPTOP REPAIR FAQ:
Toshiba
Satellite Pro A40 A100-514 Motherboard The computer won't switch on or will crash
intermittently. Some video problems also require a motherboard repair
as most video chips are soldered onto the system board. Our engineers
perform component level repairs on most Toshiba motherboards. We can
replace resistors, capacitors, transistors and also work on the major
chips, such as the video chip, within your system. Our engineers have many years of experience
and know how to fix most systemboard faults.

Satellite Pro A40 A100-514 VGA Video Graphics
faults The system starts up with dots or lines on the
bios or intro screen. At this level there is no other software loaded, so software problems are ruled out. Graphics are distorted, blocked or pixilated.
In some cases the system refuses to boot. Strange effects when
windows or mouse are moved on the screen. All these effects can be
caused by a faults related to the graphics chips. About 90% of
faults can be repaired, the rest are caused by damage to the
motherboard and impossible to repair. Our Advanced Video Repair
Technology enables us to restore full function to your laptop in
most cases. Manufacturers and their tech support may recommend

Power Jack Pin or Socket The laptop will not charge the battery. When
the battery power runs out the computer stops working. We repair or
replace power sockets where the power pin has broken or has become
disconnected from the motherboard. In some cases the power connector
makes a poor connection with the Satellite Pro A40 A100-514 jack. This causes arcing
which can generate enough heat to melt the Satellite Pro A40 A100-514 dc jack and the
power pin may become lose. It is best to get the Toshiba power socket repair before the battery is totally depleted as this can cause permanent
damage to the battery.

LCD Backlight & inverters The laptop switches on but the screen
remains dark. In some cases a faint image is visible on the Satellite Pro A40 A100-514
screen. This problem can be caused by a faulty Satellite Pro A40 A100-514 fluorescent light,
inverter, video cable or a problem on the motherboard.
Backlights use very high voltages and it is easy to cause damage to
the system if they are not correctly handled and installed. Our
engineers can replace the backlight lamps in most TFT/LCD screens
including the new xbrite panels. We also have access to most backlight
inverters and cables. We can perform repairs on some very rare
inverters.Our engineers are trained using broken
LCD panels before they can operate on a customer's LCD/TFT unit.

Secondhand
or Used TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A40 A100-514
Buying a used laptop is a risk. You may find that the battery
does not accept a full charge or the laptop is unstable. Most
secondhand sellers consider any laptop that boots into Windows as a
working machine, even if it keeps crashing every five minutes. We
strongly advise customers against buying used laptops with a
DOA warranty as some faults are not immediately apparent.
BIOS
update TOSHIBA Satellite Pro A40 A100-514
Many motherboards are destroyed by incomplete or corrupted BIOS
updates. A BIOS update should only be performed if it is critically
important. Don't do a BIOS update just for the sake of having the latest
version on your computer. Ensure that your computer is stable before
performing a BIOS update. Run diagnostics to check memory, hard
drive, keyboard and video graphics. In
99% of cases a failed bios update will make the computer totally unusable
so take a backup of your software and data too. Make sure that you
have a good connection to your mains adapter and that the battery is
fully charged.
