Toshiba e740 Pocket PC Logo

I dropped my Toshiba e755 and the battery came off. I re-installed the battery but now it doesn't work. It will power up and display the "powered by Compal..." screen but then the display is just blank with the "backlights"(?) on. I've tried the reset button and get the same results. Any solution?

My suggestion would be to hook it up to an external monitor and see what happens during the boot, if you get a screen showing up there then your screen is damaged, if not then you may have other problems, for instance if the power cable was in at the time, then the power connector is easily broken. When dropping a laptop, many problems can be created, including damaged hard drive to name one. You need a repair centre that has the correct diagnostic tools to find the problem. Keeping in mind the fix may not be worth the cost as these are so cheap these days.

SOURCE: Toshiba e800 perform hard reset after changing battery

At first you should assure that the backup battery is definitely charged. I suggest to charge the PDA a hole day without using.

SOURCE: toshiba e755 pda

Hello I'm sorry to say but this looks like a corrupted ROM issue. The ROM memory stores your operating system and some parts of the firmware. If it becomes corrupted (various reasons) the PDA can't boot up the operating system, resulting in the strage situation you are experiencing. You can't connect it via active sync because it can't be detected as it can't boot anymore. It is very weird that this occured because of running an oficial upgrade. This leads me to suspect that there is something phisically rong with the wi-fi module on the pda's mainboard. You will need to take it to a service center to have it examined first. They will also put a specially made bootable sd card to reinstall the operating system is a way similar with computer windows instalation by booting from a cd. Most logically the wi-fi module has a problem and when trying to acces it by rewriting it's firmware (part of ROM) this resulted in the corruption of some ROM sectors. I'm sorry that this isn't a do-it-yourself type of fix, but it would be safest to ask a service center to examine your PDA's mainboard.

The reason it's saying unknown device is that your computer doesn't have a driver that matches the e755. The USB drivers for it are here:

http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=210707&moid=375738&rpn=&BV_SessionID=@@@@1002594918.1204866790@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccfadedhjmmidlcgfkceghdgngdgmn.0&ct=DL&all_docs=false

Install those, and it should identify the device, and hopefully sync up fine. Let me know if you encounter additional errors.

You can get the manual here - http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_docTOC.jsp?moid=375738&rpn=&ct=UG&soid=509539&BV_SessionID=@@@@1002594918.1204866790@@@@&BV_EngineID=cccfadedhjmmidlcgfkceghdgngdgmn.0

Though following the link in ser71's solution and clicking on product manual gets you to the same place.

SOURCE: We just purcased Toshiba 26AV502U, now the screen is blank

Heard back from Toshiba. They said to unplug the TV, wait at least 3 minutes, and then plug it back in. This should allow it to reset itself. Sounded too simple, but after doing just that the tv has worked fine for the last three days! Toshiba noted that if this didn't resolve the problem we should contact them to have a Toshiba Authorized service person come check out the tv. It worked for us, hopefully it'll work for you too. Good Luck

Toshiba m100 my hand trying to have a power LED and battery LED fan works but I can not display the image signal.

Hi,

If you see power lights but nothing appears on the screen, it could be a "POST" (Power-on Self Test) problem or simply LCD problem.

Here are some steps that you can try.

1. Remove the battery and the ac adapter then press the power button for at least 20 seconds to drain electric charges left from the system. (You may need to repeat this step to get it work.)

2. If above step doesn't work, try to plug in an external monitor and see if you get display from the external monitor. You may need to press the Fn + F10 or F6, depends on the key designed on the keyboard to toggle between displays.

3. If you get display from the external monitor, I'm sure your having problem with the LCD components. In this case, check and replace faulty LCD backlight, LCD cable or LCD inverter. The LCD inverter is often a culprit.

4. Try to reinsert the memory module/s (RAM) of the unit, try using one RAM at a time to see if it works. A faulty RAM will cause the issue not to POST.

5. If reinserting the RAM doesn't help, most likely your motherboard needs to be replaced.

Hope this helps.

Screen does not respond to touch. Can it be replaced? Is it worth replacing?

Elroy, Before you try to replace the screen, get the firmware re installed. It could very well be a software problem. If that does not work then you think on the original lines.

Wireless Lan: I hadn't used my e755 in a very

You did not say what wireless you are using. The e755 is the PDA and it is having trouble with the connection to the wireless lan. There have been a lot of updates to the wireless devices because of security issues. IT could be that the PDA can not talk to the wireless because the wireless is updated. You may have to reset the PDA and have it discover the wireless connection all over again.
