  • Need Connector VGA connect laptop and PS3

    Hello

    Can someone tell me what kind of connector VGA should I buy (show me the site pls), which to my Toshiba Satellite to connect to my Playstation 3. Then I can use my laptop to play the game and need not to use my camera set.

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    This means that you are looking for a cable that you can use the internal monitor to your laptop for the Playstation 3?

    Unfortunately that s is not possible. You can use the laptop as external display monitor. You can extend the laptop to an additional monitor screen, but that s all.

    Sorry, but this doesn t work!

  • If anyone can help with my connection laptop and projector?

    I have an old projector which I easily connected to portable precedents and to bring up the image was simple, i.e. the click function + F4, but has no effect on my new laptop Toshiba.
    Could someone tell me please how to bring the image to the top of the image with my Toshiba laptop please?

    It will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have now.
    I presume that you have not read user manuals because it's always desctibed how to pass the LCD for external device.

    On computers laptop toshiba, it can be done with FN + F5. FN + F4 is for hibernation. Check it please small symbols on FN 1-12 keys.

  • Re: Qosmio G30 - trying to connect laptop to normal TV (not HD tv)

    I have a model 161 G30 and tried to connect the laptop to the TV via s video output. But I have no image.
    Which options should I choose when I press FN + F5 and the other changes do I have to do.

    For TV, I use a SCART / adapter SCART to connect the s-video to the TV and also have the right audio cable coming out of the headphone on the laptop.

    I was told that by connecting the two and then turn them I, by pressing FN + f5, I would get a choice of display options, but I get the normal ones...

    I know that this subject has come up before but after reading everything I was not able to solve my problem
    Thanks to everyone for their help in advance

    Hello

    You use the FN + F5 key combination you must enable port on your TV. I do not know how old the TV is and whose parameters are there but do not forget that the port is enabled or the right channel is chosen (for external devices). I tested this with S-Video and Video cable adapter and it works well. Make sure that you also use proper adjustment of input/output.

    It should work somehow. Play with these settings.

  • Connection laptop new windows 8.1 HP DeskJet 3050

    I just bought a new laptop, and before that, I fell my routers make password for security issues. I was able to print with the USB cable but I can not figure out how to reconfigure the connection with Windows 8.1 I never did with Windows 7 by going to the start menu, all programs, and then through my HP printer. Although I don't know where to find these option on Windows 8.1... Can I get help?

    Hello

    Have you installed drivers and software on Windows 8.1 machie yet? Please install this important part first using the following package:

  • WiFi connections: Laptop HP cannot find the 5 GHz wireless signal?

    Hello, this is my first post I just bought my first laptop and my first wireless router and have been setting them up.

    Laptop: HP touch laptop Pavilion 15 15-n088ca with windows (fully updated) 8.1

    Router: D-Link Dual Band AC1000-band 2.5 GHz & 5 GHz DIR - 810L

    I configured the router and worked out the kinks and updated the software.  My laptop detects and connects with the 2.5 GHz Band anywhere in the House.  My laptop does not even find or see the 5 GHz Band.  However my Galaxy Tablet concludes the two bands and can connect at once, thought the 5 GHz seems weaker.

    I noticed that my Galaxy tablet is much more WiFi networks that my laptop (that are in the houses around the street).

    I have need help troubleshooting and problem solving.  I think that my laptop would find the 5 Ghz band and be able to connect. So I hope that it is a software or driver problem and just a setting that needs to be adjusted.  Any help would be appreciated.  I don't know much about the WiFi drivers, but I'm a survivor of Vista, so I should be able to solve this problem.

    I don't know even what kind of program is running the WiFi software on my laptop? Or where to find it?

    Thank you

    Hello:

    Welcome to the HP consumer's Support Forum.

    I'm sorry that I'll have to disappoint you on your first post, but according to the specifications of the product on the link below your laptop comes with a single wireless card band (2.4 GHz) with bluetooth.

    http://support.HP.com/us-en/document/c03940371

    I can tell this by the description of the WLAN card.

    He is listed as a 1 x 1 802.11b/g/n WLAN.

    Whenever you see a closed wlan b/g/n card, it's a map of the only band (2.4 GHz).

    A dual-band card would be qualified bird a/b/g/n or a/g/n.

    When I look at the parts list for your laptop on the link below, the last listed item is the wireless card there.

    Atheros AR9485 wireless 802.11b/g/n 1 x 1 adapter

    http://PartSurfer.HP.com/search.aspx?SearchText=F0Q62UA

    Googling the specifications of the card, I found that will confirm what I wrote above.

    http://reviews.CNET.com/adapters-NICs/Atheros-ar9485-802-11/4507-3380_7-35558446.html

    So there is nothing wrong with the wireless card or router.
