G70 screen resolution will not change

HP G70 - 257CL running Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family

Have this second hand with a broken screen. Until I could get a new screen, I used the HARD drive in another notebook successfully. Now reinstalled in the G70, have everything works fine except the screen resolution.

Reports adapter Device Manager works correctly. I uninstalled and reinstalled, updated the drivers. But no matter what resolution to choose for the screen, it remains the same.  I've currently set to 1440 X 900, 32-bit color, refresh rate of 60 Hz. But what I get is closer to 800 X 600. And it stays that way, no matter what I put it to.

To the best of my knowledge, I uninstalled all drivers associated with the other laptop, so there should not be anything interfere. Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

Hi Barnaby,.

It doesn't sound like an exorcism is necessary. From all I have seen and know the computers that he shouldn't do that. Before you call the Ghostbusters or a priest try connecting an external monitor to see if you have the same problems.

  • HP Pavilion 15z Touch: screen brightness will not change

    When I use the keyboard commands to adjust the brightness of the screen, it does not work. When I go into the control panel to set the brightness of the screen remains the same. The adjustment bar will move from dim to bright but the brightness of the display will not change. How can I fix it? I've only had this computer for 4 days, so everything is still at the factory.

    Hello @KayLeeM,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP Support! It's a good place to find the help you need, so many other users, the HP experts and other members of the support staff.

    I came across your post about the brightness of the display and wanted to help!

    Try searching for the Device Manager in the Start Menu.  Then expand the monitors section and see if you have an option for Generic PnP monitor.  If so, do a right-click on him and generic PnP monitor enable, if not already.  Now, check to see if you can adjust the brightness.  If you're still having problems, then try to see the following resource and let me know how it goes:

    True color is actually 24-bit.  32-bit is True Color + Alpha channel.

    But this process has not changed the lock screen.

    I deleted the uploaded image independent of photos and the lock screen still shows the wallpaper I'm changing.

    «.. . the dummies and bad start screen for Windows 7 is due to the locale entry in the startup folder, which could not be set when editing or rebuilding the BCD. When the locale is not found, Windows boot loader doesn't know what local startup folder to look for the animated bootscreen.

  • Satellite Pro L450D black screen and will not respond to any keys

    Hello

    My niece has used his Toshiba L450D for almost a year now and he really liked it, who was until last month. She turned on her laptop and when she presses the button of the mouse, the button cracked and he fell into the laptop.

    Now my brother contacted Toshiba and I was told because it is under warranty it might return for repair because it was a common fault. Then he he packed in loads of air bubbles and a box to make sure it was safe.

    A few weeks later he came back repaired but we were all shocked that the laptop was put in a very loose box and you could hear this rattling noise. When we turned on the battery was flat and we had a new boot menu.

    As she installed it Windows 7 laptop would boot directly into Windows 7, but now after the repair of the laptop shows a menu black screen with as follows:

    + Windows 7 +.
    + Recover Windows to Factory Settings [active EMS] +.

    So we started in Windows and everything went well, but now after 5 or 10 or even 20 minutes, laptop displays a black screen and will not respond to keys or mouse movement. There is nothing on the screen its just black.

    I started in SafeMode (which was more difficult with the new menu) and it does the same thing. I even managed to do a virus scan quick who took 3-4 minutes and was clean.

    I would like some advice on what my niece is very angry, and it's difficult to explain what is happening to a child in the primary school.

    Any help would be grateful.
