The plastic frame in front of the LCD screen is the Display Bezel.The screen Inverter is mounted at the bottom of the Screen Frame.[The LCD screen is an assembly of layers. There is a metal frame resembling a picture frame; which keeps these layers in the factory set alignment; the Screen Frame ]Therefore easy access. Just remove Display Bezel.To test a screen Inverter requires a sensitive multimeter; read fairly expensive,http://www.fonerbooks.com/test.htmDue to the above, ease of access to replace, and generally low cost; the screen Inverter is just replaced.Then on to the Backlight if this doesn't repair the problem.Which brings me to this;Safetyhttps://www.laptopscreen.com/English/model/Toshiba/SATELLITE~A100/The Toshiba Satellite A100-S8111TD Notebook PC, uses a single CCFL for a Backlight.A CCFL is a Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamp. (Bulb)Similar to it's larger 'cousins' used in homes, and businesses; but on a MUCH smaller scale.Average thickness is 2mm.

If your model has wireless, Page 57 of the user manual: http://static.tigerdirect.com/pdf/Toshiba_Satellite_Pro_A100_Notebook-UsersManual.pdf

Go find a small paperclip - straighten it out and make it as smooth as possible - next look at the CD drive and find the two small holes - place the clip into the left hole until it stops give it a slight push like pushing a thumbtack into cork the drive should pop open if it does not try the hole on the right. If that does not work go tot the control panel open up the CD drive and click the button that has an arrow facing up with a line under it

Is the computer fan, vents clean, getting sufficent air flow through the bottom to the side vents? Have you done ALL your updates? Windows? Toshiba? Has the laptop been dropped, jarred, fall over?

Check to see if fan area has does in it. You can either take apart and blow dust out or try blowing without taking apart. I would take it apart. Also, check for firmware update which may address overheating problems.

Hi there,

It sounds like your hdd. If you have access to another computer, download a program called SeaTools for DOS, from the Seagate website:
http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/support/downloads/seatools

This program will make a boot disc that will check ALL sectors on the drive. If bad sectors are found, you will be given the option to fix.

Let me know how you get on.

Are you trying to connect on a wired connection or wireless?If wireless get a hold of a RJ 45 patch cable and connect direct to the router or modem to see if you can get connected to the internet that way. If negative, your modem or router may need to be re-initialized by shutting it down for at least 30 - 60 seconds and then restarted. Try the wired connection after all the required lights have come on steady. If still no contact your service provider to determine if the issue is an area outage.My name is Ed Pinero I am a 10 year IT veteran and field service technician. Good Luck

Is the driver from Toshiba or Windows? Is the audio working?
