Toshiba satellite pro p100 screen problem

The screen on my Toshiba Satellite P100 ( model PSPA1C-TM30XE) seems to be shot - first two milky white vertical lines about an inch wide each appeared, and now the screen display is over-saturated with colour and almost impossible to read. The unit was purchased in 2004. Can the screen be replaced or does the whole computer need to be replaced? Meanwhile, is it possible to view the screen only in black and white? If so how ?

The LCD can be replaced. The part is around $50-$75 I believe. It can be tricky to replace, but if you take your time, you can save money by doing it yourself. The screen sounds cracked or broken, and black & white will not work either.

good luck

    here is one vendor on ebay that carries the part, if you need it. It is a USA seller. http://www.ebay.com/itm/FOR-TOSHIBA-SATE...

SOURCE: where i can buy toshiba satellite p10-304 display

I generally use Ebay for most of these purchases, mainly because the purchase is protected through Paypal and the selection is huge...you are not confined generally to one supplier, so everyone bargains.

If the laptop appears to boot up and the hard disk LED flashes, then the problem could be a back light fault. This fault could be caused by a faulty inverter or a faulty CCFL lamp. Please clcik on this link and follow my instructions to determine the fault and fix :-

Not sure if you will find one... Process on toshibas is:

Pop top cover (sometimes also secured with a few screws on side or bottom of laptop) near monitor base above keyboard to access LCD cable and mount screws
Unplug cable and remove monitor mounting screws (Under plate, on back where cables plugin, and sometimes on bottom)
Take monitor (on flat surface) and remove screw covers with needle so you can put them back on later.
Remove all screws
Use plastic credit card and run around outside lip of screen case until removed
Remove LCD mounting screws
Remove LCD and inverter
Remove LCD brackets and inverter from panel
Replace panel and start working backwords.

Testimonial: "Thanks for the reply and the advice. I can probably figure out how to remove and disasemble the LCD display, and your input helped. "

Probably a failed AC adapter. Please try to charge the laptop with a good, working AC adapter & see if the problem disappears.

Toshiba satellite backlight

Mohammad,

Toshiba Satellite P100 screen Inverter replacement;

1) http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-P105-P100/remove-lcd-screen-inverter-1.htm

(You can click on any photo to enlarge it. At the top, and bottom of the page are the page numbers. They are in white; Page1 :: Page2 :: Find another model )

2) Primer:
An LCD screen cannot produce light. It needs an additional light source.
A Backlight is the additional light source.

A Backlight (Present technology) is a CCFL, or a series of LED lights.
The Toshiba Satellite P100 series of Notebook PC's uses a CCFL.

Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp.
Similar to Fluorescent lighting used in homes, and businesses, but on a MUCH smaller scale.

Average size is approximately 2mm Thick, and the length is close to the height of the LCD screen. 2mm is a little larger than 1/16th of an inch.

This means the CCFL can be broken quite easily, as it is fragile. (You also DO NOT want to be cut by a Fluorescent lamp )

http://www.laptoprepair101.com/laptop/2007/12/09/replace-laptop-backlight-ccfl-lamp/

A screen Inverter converts the power from the laptop, for the Backlight, and LCD screen.

As previously stated in a Clarification, 90 PERCENT OF THE TIME the fault is the screen Inverter.

LCD Screen turned opaque at two places, I see two white opaque lines 3 inches wide one on left side of screen and other in the middle

Yes you are correct. I would say 95% of the time, you will need a LCD screen replacement. Also be sure to disconnect and reconnect the lcd cables, at the motherboard and behind the lcd itself, just to make sure the cables aren't making bad connection.
I have provided you a link to MANY lcd screen for your laptop on EBAY.
