Connection of external monitor to a compaq Presario V3000 to S Dell S1909WX

While connecting the laptop to the external display, nothing seems to happen. Even if I just stop and then plugged in, the laptop is no detect the monitor. How should I go about to connect the monitor?

Hi Pandit_Maharaj,

1. what happens after that you connect the monitor?

2. what port you connect to?

3. the monitor is detected in Device Manager?

New monitors data Identification EDID (Extended Display), a standard video data format that contains basic information about the capabilities of the screen, including maximum screen size, resolution of screen of support, refresh rate, color depth, and orientation.

If a screen is enabled EDID, Windows automatically identifies the display and applies the appropriate display settings.

If Windows can't identify the additional display, you can manually open the dialog boxnew display detected using one of the following steps:

Step 1

First of all, check if the monitor is getting detected in Device Manager.

A. Click Start, type devmgmt.msc in the start search box and press on enter

B. check if the second screen is getting detected.

Then press the hotkey on your mobile PC that turns on an additional display. The function (FN) FN + F5 keyboard shortcut is used for this purpose on many laptops. To determine what keyboard shortcut turns on another view, see the documentation that came with your mobile PC or go to the manufacturer's Web site.

Step 2

Opening Windows Mobility Center by clickingStart , clicking Control Panel, clicking Mobile PC, and then click Windows Mobility Center.

Then, on theexternal display tile, click Connect display.

    Hello

    I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

    The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

    The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

Before that, they said that I needed to press the feature key followed by the key with the monitor symbol F on it, it doesn't work anymore!

    Hello

    There is no way to connect an external cable monitor such that HDMI port is entered only.

    Your only solution would be to use the wireless display option in the settings, but you would need a monitor/TV/adapter that would work as a Miracast receiver.  I'm not sure specific screens that function as receptors, but I used adapters are the PTV3000 Netgear and Actiontec SBWD100A01,.

    I hope this helps.

    Is there a question here?

    Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.

    I'm trying to connect an external Dell montitor via the VGA port with a VGA cable. The monitor has power, but my laptop does not detect recognize them / it. However, when I plugged in the first time in, my laptop screen has shrunk in a square (vs the entire screen) so he acknowledged something... but nothing happened on the external monitor.

    I tried to detect through my display settings, but I have accidentally changed some display setting until the reception desk shows only 1 monitor, but not selected my real laptop screen or something or changed to be Monitor 2 (even if there is no monitor 1), so when I plug the cable into my laptop suddenly my desktop disappears and it's just a white background screen - and I cannot access the screen of the computer settings or whatever whatever... when the cable is disconnected this setting seems to be normal, so I can not understand how to fix it.

    Click Customize

    Click on display

    Click on change display settings

    You can see the TWO laptop screen and external monitor in there, as shown in the following image:

    For the test, I put my Dell monitor is my main screen. If I can't see 2 monitors, you need its driver first and then check the cable.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with my Compaq Presario CQ5500F after a clean install of Win 7 64 bit

    Hello

    I recently did a clean install on my Compaq Presario CQ5500F desktop, but when I finished, I realized that I could not connect to wireless internet almost anything. To clarify, my internet worked before the clean install. I know exactly of what readers have been installed, but I do not know the network controller has a yellow question mark on it now. (See attached image)

    In addition, it seems that the computer does not have a wireless card although I was previously using an omnidirectional antenna external wireless connected to my wifi.

    I have already visited the HP/Compaq site here http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=4063&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=4209... to install the drivers, but it seems that the network controller, it does not install correctly.

    Can someone help me please? I am very frustrated.

    In fact, I just solved it!

    I looked up the material ID I had just posted on Google and found that someone had the driver on his Skydrivefiles. Then I followed their instructions and went into the Device Manager and selected Update driver the driver of your properties of network adapters tab and pointed on the expanded files.

    Turns out I need files for Ralink RT61 Turbo Wireless LAN Card.

    Everything works again!

    Thanks for me direction in the right way, Paul!

  • How to connect the external monitor to Satellite T130-C17?

    It has a HDMI port on my laptop and I would use it to connect to a monitor...
    The monitor supports DVI and VGA...
    So I thought that buying a VGA-HDMI would do the trick...

    Unfortunately, when I plug it almost doesn t do something...
    I want to use the monitor as my monitor 3rd btw. That's why I want it on the HDMI port.
    The resolution isn't really a problem for me because I put t want to do something great graphics on it anyway.

    For me, it makes sense to use the HDMI Cable DVI and not to use the VGA port.

  • Unable to connect 2 external monitors via the Port Replicator using Portege Z30 - 16U

    Hi all

    I need hell, I just moved from another laptop for Portege Z30 - 16U, I spent hours trying to connect my 2 external monitors to my Replicator Port Hi-Speed III 120W, but my laptop will see a monitor.

    I used 2 external monitors with my laptop for years because I do a lot or reading and I don't want to use the one and the laptop screen.

    I tried the mixture of a VGA and a HDMI and VGA cables, but nothing works.

    Can anyone tell me how I can connect and discover 2 external monitors with this laptop and port replicator, I can't believe that this is not possible, it makes no sense that Toshiba would then technilogically behind other laptop manufacturers.

    Thank you

    Liga

    Hello

    I'm not familiar with the Z30 Portreplicator, but the general behavior of the replicators of the double-displayconnector, is that 1 can be used.
    Not 2 simultaneously.

    I could be wrong, and you should easily be able to check it out - use only 1 at a time.
    First, then the other.
    If the two works when used alone, then my suspicion is right.

    I hope this helps!

  • Satellite L650 - HDMI connection for external monitor

    I've linked the laptop to my Sony LCD TV via HDMI, no problem. I have a (Acer, 24-inch) LCD monitor that has a HDMI port also. I used it to play ps3 and xbox360 via HDMI connection, no problem. I have two lines HDMI 1.3. The two lines are working without any problems.

    However, when I connect my laptop to my LCD Acer just external LCD monitor can t work properly. I can barely see what is display on the monitor, very snowy. It's hard to describe. I took a photo but don't know where to download it here.

    I tried both HDMI lines, but both failed. I tried to change a few settings in the laptop, but nothing makes any difference. I'm looking for the driver for video card on the Web from Toshiba website and found that my current license is updated.

    I'm not a tech geek, but I think that I don't know something on the computer. Am I missing something here?

    Guys (and girls), please throw in an idea (tooth tell me to check if the connection is good, I don't already).
    Thank you

    Hey,.

    If you connect your laptop to external monitor and press the FN + F5 key combination what happens exactly? Pressing the FN + F5 key combination shows different options and you should test with external monitor only (not the clone image). If you work on external monitor doesn't do this work?

    In addition, you must connect the devices before starting their.

    Also, take a look in the BIOS and try to load the default settings. Make sure that that the HDMI cable is connected before starting Windows and check the status again.

    By the way: what operating system are you using exactly?
