External monitor flickers always on Satellite Pro U400 - 13G

Hello

I have a Satellite Pro U400 - 13G that connects external monitors with VGA port.

I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with the latest graphics drivers from intel, I also tried the drivers from the Toshiba download site.

Anyway... I tried 3 different external screens to connect a LG with resolution 1280 x 1024, an acer projector with resolution 1024 x 768 and a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW running 1680 x 1050.

All these monitors simply sparkles... a higher resolution = more flicker. It seems to be worse with gray background.

I tried the system Windows 7 RC1, same problem.

When I unplug my diet, Twinkle seems to be... a little reduced, there is still a lot of flicker.

Someone knows how to fix this?

Hello

I think she might be grounded question in this case it is recommended to use a power adapter 2 cords.

I also found this thread on U400:

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 - 13G: software uninstalled - FN keys do not work

    The other day I uninstalled many programs standard of his Toshiba Satellite U400 - 13G, because it has been very slow in implementing.
    But now I realized that his FN hotskeys does not work.

    I tried to look in the support forum and the list of drivers, but I can't find the answer.

    So the question is what program/driver should I install to get the keyboard shortcuts to work again. It is running vista 32 bit.

    Hello

    Well buddy. For the future I'll give you a tip ;)
    Never remove any parts/software if you n t know what they are for ;)

    The Satellite Pro U400 - 13G seems belongs to the PSU45E series.
    Choose this model number to download driver form Toshiba Europe.
    Then download the package of value added.

    To reinstall this PPV you will need to remove the preinstalled old VAP.
    Do it and after rebooting again to install the new downloaded package added value.

    In my view, that the FN buttons should then work.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - How can I get the native screen resolution for external monitor?

    I have a samsung syncmaster external screen connected to a Satellite Pro U400.

    The resolution of the screen goes up to 1280 etc. but the minimum samsung is 1440 x 920 (ish I forgot).
    How can I get the samsung to display full screen expanded to save my eyes of the realativively small screen internal?

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.

  • Dynadock and Satellite Pro U400-135 - external monitor question

    Hello.
    We have a serious problem on the 26 dynadock vga e Satellite Pro U400-135 unit

    The problem is:
    If set to host as a single external monitor during startup frequent windows loses resolution external monitor.

    Example of resolution monitor post seting like 1280 x 1024, start with connected dyndaock, frequent resolution 1280 x 800 not correct and external monitor image not correct.

    Operating system is Vista 32 bit, driver dynadock is 2.3 update and dynadock displaylink displaylink site 4.6.16208 site.
    Same problem with Windows Xp 32 bit.

    How can I solve the problem?

    Hello

    If I understand the first message, external monitor resolution automatically goes to 1280 x 800 even if you set it to 1280 x 1024.
    I guess that your external monitor is connected to the dynadock.
    Is this good?

    AFAIK, you can customize the video settings of the dynodock.
    It provides a video output in two modes: Mode and extended Mode of mirror.

    Mirror mode creates an identical display of your computer to the external monitor screen. In mirror Mode, the dynadock automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality and discount rates) for the external monitor that will allow the best resolution based on your computer's settings.

    Maybe you use the mirror mode and therefore the dynadock the resolution automatically because it of the best for the external monitor.

    I recommend checking the Dynadock manual for more details.
    There are two modes are described there.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - 150 - display has stopped working

    Hello guys,.

    yesterday I used to turn on my laptop (Satellite Pro U400 - 14) and it worked fine but after 1 minute my screen stopped working. I tried to restart the PC, and it worked OK again. But I turn on my laptop today and it didn t work at all. Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.

    I Don t know what happened with my laptop. :/

    Is there anyone who knows the answer to this problem?

    Thanks for all your answers.

    > Everything is OK, PC works fine, everything is good, but only the display is black.
    Of course, this isn't all right if nothing appears on the screen

    Connect an external monitor to check if you would be able to see something on the screen?
    Do this! Usually you should use the FN + F5 to alternate between the monitor internal and external.
    If this is not possible and nothing could be seen on the 2nd monitor, the graphics card problem can cause this.

  • Satellite Pro U400-11V: possible to increase the 60 Hz screen refresh rate

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11v.
    I just realized that my screen refresh rate is 60 Hz (resolution 1280 x 800).
    Even I decrease the resolution. It won t be another option 60 Hertz.
    Is it possible to increase it?
    My monitor is indicated under the generic name of the PnP in the system.

    You cannot increase the internal laptop display refresh rate and it of not necessary to go higher, because all the internal laptop screens are running at 60 Hz.
    If you would like to connect an external monitor, you will probably see higher available for the external monitor refresh rates.

  • Satellite Pro U400 Win 7: flashing projector connected to Dynadock U10

    I have a number of Dynadocks U10 and Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 laptops.

    They are used to allow our teachers to move from one room to the other without having to connect and disconnect several cables. We use a vga connection to a projector for the external monitor.
    Everything worked pretty well until we put Win 7 on laptops.

    Now, at random intervals, the external monitor will blink.
    I tried the most up to date drivers and software found elsewhere in these forums.
    If I plug the projector directly into the laptop, the flashing stops.

    Can someone please help avoid losing me my mind completely.

    Thank you.

    > If I plug the projector directly into the laptop, the flashing stops.

    I think it means that the VGA of Dynadock pilot must be upgraded to Win 7 compatible version.
    There is nothing wrong in using a direct connection to the laptop, so I think there must be a problem with the driver Dynadock.

    The latest Dynadock graphics card drivers can be found here:

  • Satellite Pro U400-130 - Conexant and 'Stereo Mix' in question

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 (downgraded from Vista to XP) with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 "audio card" installed.

    Although this seems to support HD audio, I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows console. I tried a few settings to registry and some different drivers, but so far, the option remained absent.

    I know this forum and other comments on the net that Conexant audio cards do not support the stereo mix, but I was wondering if someone could confirm that this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

    Similarly, anyone know of another method to record the sound 'as heard' on the computer? So Far, the options appear to be a) buy an external sound card, or b) connect the plug headphone mini-jack on the mic with a cable jack.

    After using a p3500 old Portege of 8 quite happy with this function (actually pretty basic), it is very disappointing to find that this card cannot support it.

    See you soon,.
    Select this option.

    > I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows mixer
    > I know this forum and other reviews on the net that the Conexant sound cards may not support stereo > Mix, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

    I can confirm this because I have a laptop (NOT from Toshiba one) that was equipped with the Conexant audio chip and the other laptop (Toshiba Satellite a series has) that supports the Realtek audio chip.

    The machine with Realtek audio chip contains stereo mix and the other non-Toshiba unit that supports the audio chip Conexant does not support the stereo mix

    As far as I know the update of the driver won't help you because it looks like a hardware limitation of chip Conexant!

    However, thanks for the info about the Virtual Audio Cable tool.
    I think I'll try it next time

  • Satellite Pro U400 - audio quality is not good

    OK this problem has been plaging me for years. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 windows 8.1.

    The sound quality is terrible.
    I can remember it's bad in windows 7.

    Contextant driver is bad, and so is the generic driver windows 8.1.

    Help, please

    To be honest, I have no idea what you mean exactly by the quality is terrible.
    I've owned a notebook Satellite U400 happened and I have to say that the sound quality was quite good.

    Satellite U400 is a small portable 13.3 and the speakers have been adjusted to the dimensions of the laptop.
    The Conexant audio chip is part of the motherboard and you will not be able to replace it.

    If you want to use another sound card, you can try to use an external USB audio interface.
    I use this external sound solution for my home recording studio.

    The audio interface is connected to the USB port of the laptop s and the external speakers are initiated for the external audio interface.

    By the way: isn't Satellite U400 is the list of the supported 8.1 notebooks... Win so you won't find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this unit on the Toshiba driver website.

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400-160 - freezes when copying larger files or videos

    Hello:

    I have a Satellite Pro U400-160 and a VERBATIM external hard drive USB eSATA combo.

    If I turn on AHCI mode recognizes the drive, but when copying the video files or large file size, the system is frozen. However if I remove the mode AHCI works correctly. I have the version 9.8.9.1023 Intel (r) Matrix Storage Manager and my laptop BIOS v4.0 and Windows Vista Business.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Normally the AHCI mode has nothing to do with an external HARD drive. It is only important for the internal HARD disk if you install Windows.

    Anyway, you have installed all the updates of Windows for Vista?
    In addition, you should test another external HARD disk or with another cable.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - micro reception problem after installing xp sp3

    I had Vista, then I recently installed windows XP SP3 from scratch (not downgraded). I downloaded the latest drivers from Toshiba and install. Now, I have a problem with the microphone. Speakers audio playback is fine, but the built-in microphone reception level is very low and often unrecognizable. I use a voip program. In Vista, micro worked better.

    Now in Windows XP Home edition, I told myself that they cannot hear me or my voice is very weak and difficult to recognize. I also tried to sound recorder in windows. My voice is as if I am talking about ten meters.
    I have an external microphone, so I can't say if line microphone. works well.

    In messages previous people mention a fix for xp download his questions but I'm not sure if applies to my situation.
