| 1243282 | 2011-11-13 09:42:00 | On the 6th Nov 2009 I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 PSAR3A-1K002 laptop At the time of purchase I took just the standard warranty of 12 months. Then on the 18 September 2011 after working with my computer for about 10 minutes the screen went black, but could see a faint image of the desktop on the screen. The following morning I took the Laptop to my my local computer shop for repairs. Please see attachments for a description of work done. Basically they thought it may be the inverter, and then narrowed it down to the LCD panel. They did not have a lcd panel and I had to wait for one to be brought into the country. When it finally turned up and fitted it, the problem still existed. They have now narrowed down to a motherboard issue. And are saying it would now be uneconomical to repair. it and has only lasted a total of about 22 months. Does anyone have any ideas about how to get it going. The computer its self works good, Will work if plugged into a separate monitor. Has any one else struck this problem? Please see attachments for details of work done 33713370 |

| 1243286 | 2011-11-14 02:34:00 | Very odd. If they swapped cables, LCD and inverter, it seems to make sense the motherboard is probably the problem. Although they don't say if they tested with a cable exactly the same as the old one... |
