Inspiron 530 s displays only half screen via HDMI or DVI

I have a strange problem that I'm seeing with an Inspiron 530 s that I'm trying to get up and running again.  It seems to work fine if I use the default VGA port, but if I try to connect it to a TV via HDMI or DVI, it only appears on half of the screen.  The left side of the screen looks normal (be it screens start Dell or actually in Windows).  The right side of the screen is a series of vertical lines.

I checked the video card isn't the issue.  I swapped another video card in and it does the same thing.  Both cards work fine in another machine.  I also checked the TV working properly.

I hung the 530 s on a normal 17 "monitor via the VGA port and I see the entire screen.

The version of the BIOS is 1.0.0.18 that I understand to be the latest version.

I really want to get this working, but I'm not sure what to look at this point.

Other tests established that the 530 s as well as the 531 s (which I could test on both) must have problems with some video cards.  Once I established that the question could be reproduced on both models, I decided that this must be an incompatibility problem rather than a problem with the motherboard.

I decided to try to get Windows installed despite the half of the screen.  Once I had Windows installed, I changed the resolution to the native resolution of the TV (1366 x 768) and the damaged screen went away.  Somehow, it was fixed even if I rebooted the machine, at this time there and I was able to navigate through the BIOS with a normal screen.  In fact, I was not able to reproduce the problem again until completely stop the machine and remove the power completely.  After that, the machine would still start with display messed up, which would remain until when you start Windows, it changed the resolution of the screen at native resolution and there again it would be "fixed".

The video card is not really new, but I think that it may have been written in a more recent specification of the standard PCI-E that this motherboard can be expected.  If I were so inclined, I could probably find a video card that does not have this problem, but instead, I think I'll just this weird issue.

  • Satellite A105-4094 display - only half screen problem

    So my screen is showing half, it is a compressed version of the full screen.
    The right of the screen is turned on, but all black and just after the point halfway on the left side is a bunch of image then a strip of black before you see the compressed image.

    The output works very well for an external. I know that this is not the video card. I reinstalled the Bios updated, and I tried to use powerstrip.
    I'm sure it's a software problem as in system devices that my screen appears as flat digital display with a maximum of 1024 x 768 resolution, but the native is 1200 x 800 and it used to describe something else as internal computer monitor toshiba laptop.

    No driver hasn't solved the problem and I can't find a similar problem anywhere!

  • Windows that display only half of the disk capacity

    I have a new laptop HP EliteBook with Windows 7 SP1 is installed. SSD has 500 GB, but the system is only half of the disk capacity show.

    What can we do?  Thank you.

    CHKDSK discovered...  0 KB in bad sectors. 719099 KB in use by the system. 65536 KB occupied by the log file. 89854676 KB available on disk. 4 096 bytes in each allocation units total 60636159 the disk allocation unit. 22463669 allocation units available on disk.

    Coincidentally reduce then extend the volume again?

    CHKDSK is essentially a tool of file system and the capacity of the disc that you see in the Explorer disc property is actually the size of the file system rather than the physical size of the volume, the physical size of the volume is based on the head of sector, while the size of the file system is based on the number of clusters (allocation units).  The file system has a total of clusters 60636159 x 4096 bytes = 248,365,707,264 bytes.

    Different size according to the different tools are both correct, but the file system is not using the entire partition, you need to extend the file system with the Diskpart tool.

    At a command prompt, enter the following commands:

    C:\ > DISKPART
    DISKPART > list Volume
    DISKPART > select volume c (here, you can use the figures given by the Volume of the order list or use the actual letter of the volume, in your case 'c')

    DISKPART > extend filesystem
    DISKPART > exit (exit Diskpart)

    Here is a screenshot of the procedure:

    The file system extension is relatively safe, but as always you should ensure that you have a good backup of your files before doing any kind of work of system disk/partition or file.

  • Displays only half a page and screen reads "Document cannot be printed."

    Hello

    I use the printer HP K5400 on a Windows XP PC. I have problems consistent when I print documents from any software I use for example Word, PDF and images. When I try to print, the printer prints half a page, then spits out another page with weird symbols on top. After a few seconds it then prints a test to white, followed by the original document, I tried to print in its entirety. When I start to print, a bubble on the screen tells me that the document cannot print. This problem applies only to this PC the printer works perfectly with other laptops. I tried to uninstall and reinstall the printer and the usual in him reconnecting and resetting the computer, but none worked. How can I solve this problem?

    Your comments would be appreciated

    Hello iloveprinters14,

    Welcome to the Forums of HP's Support.

    I would like to help with the problem you posted on the HP K5400 is not printing Windows XP complete documents. It is good to know that it will work from other laptops.

    I wish you first download and run this critical update to correct a PC Printer Communication issue. After the end I want you to run the print HP and Scan Dr. let me know if everything goes, if something breaks down or if something is set during printing and scanning Dr.

    Thank you

  • Displays only half a page.

    I have a HP Deskjet 2540 printer all in one and I have constant problems with it!

    First of all if I send more than one page to the printer, it prints a page and half of the other. I then return the last page of the printer. I had this problem from the beginning with this printer. The amount of paper and ink that I lost because of this I am starts to think that it is a ploy used by HP to get as much money on ink cartridges as they can!

    Second, most of the time I send a document to print I get an error message saying that the printer is offline. However, the printer is online! I have to keep passing the printer then turn it on again.

    Really, I can't stand this printer and have only had about 3 months and it has never worked properly!

    What's worse, is that you can never contact HP for cat or!

    Hi all

    We have worked on this problem with printing partial and missing.

    To resolve this problem, we have a workaround solution that should help you with people who are facing this problem.

    There are some steps to follow to make this workaround works.

    (1) set a fixed IP address on the wireless printer, this is to stop printing problems if Exchange wireless printers IP address.

    For help setting this up, see this document (it is a wireless connectivity generic document which covers setting up the fixed IP address on HP printers)

    Printer keeps no connection Wi - Fi

    Please open the Windows Section and scroll down to Solution 3 (it contains Instructions and a video)

    (2) add another printer using add printer in the control panel and set it to the default value

    (3) change of the driver on this newly added print for the provided HP, one rather than the OS printer driver

    Instructions for help with these two steps are attached in PDF format

  • Satellite A300 - can use only stereo receiver via HDMI

    I was wondering if someone could help me with my audio problems. I have a PSAGCC Satellite A300 - 06 h 019 current running Vista home premium 64 bit SO1, and I can't hang with my receiver. I have attached my computer to the receiver via the HDMI port, and only 2 channels (stereo) is available to be selected.

    I have the latest Realtek drivers, the radeon ATI drivers newer, but I can't select the surround speakers in the audio, stereo settings only. Is there some sort of registry patch or update or something that will allow me to select more than 2 channels of output through my HDMI? I have a very nice surround sound Setup and I want to maximize my value of entertainment.

    Also, when I go into the HDMI audio settings, there is a box to check, dolby digital and dts, when I test the dts and dolby digital, he spends in surround sound and plays test tones, but I can't get 5.1 or 7.1 speakers for watching movies.

    Thank you in advance if anyone can help me with this.

    Hello

    As far as I know, you can change the sound of digital output.
    In many cases, this option is not visible in sound options.

    To do this, go to control panel of-> sound-> the Read tab
    Here, you will need to right click and should mark the options see the disabled devices and show disconnected devices.
    Now you should see the option called Digitalaudio (HDMI) and this should be retained.

    But I m not very good if you get more options like stereo only

    Dell is not offering Win7 drivers for this model. I suggest you go here and read some of the links on the upgrade to Windows 7. Run the Win 7 Upgrade Advisor first to see what it says on your system.

    Without knowing what equipment you have (for example, video card, sound card, network adapter, etc.), it is impossible for anyone to tell you exactly what drivers you need. In some cases, but not all cases, Vista 64-bit drivers can work. The Vista 64 drivers are here. (Confirms that he says again Vista 64-bit upstairs when you load the page!) And if you use your Service tag (do not post here!) you can find a list of drivers installed Dell, so at least you will know what hardware you have, but keep in mind these drivers for Vista 32 bit.

    You can also go here for links to the hardware and instructions to install Win 7. And you can search these forums for discussions on installing Win 7 on the Inspiron 530 to see which other users may have met problems.

  • Sound is more output via HDMI

    Hello

    I have a desktop HP m9300t with Vista 64 Bit SP2. It has a video card Nvidia GeForce 9300 256 MB with a HDMI output (and DVI).

    I've always been able to play the video and sound through an HDMI cable connected to my TV. A few weeks ago, I ran a few updates and uninstall several programs I do not use or need. I installed the Vista SP2 and updated my nvidia driver for the last available on the nvidia website. Now, I can only video output via HDMI, but no sound.

    I have the Realtek HDMI output defined as the default device under sound-> read (and it shows like 'work'). When I test it, I can see the volume up and down bar, but there is no sound on my TV. I also tried many different programs (WMP, Winamp, Media Player classic, Firefox, but still no sound.)

    Sound works fine in my computer speakers when I put as device by default.

    I tried two different HDMI cables, which I know work because they took out his other devices.

    I've updated my audio driver for the last available.

    I installed an older video driver without success.

    I scoured the internet for hours, but nothing I can find solves my problem.

    Hello

    Check the device settings in device that receives the stream of video and audio HDMI.

    What camera brand and model has no sound via HDMI?

    What is plugged into the SPDIF Jack on the back of your PC, no matter what?

    Go to www.realtek.com and download and install the latest audio driver.

    Go to www.nvidia.com and download and install the latest video driver.

    You could also try to uncheck HDMI and check digtial output and see if that produces sounds.

    These "how-to" HP articles can also provide assistance.

    Even the latest drivers and updates may cause the problem.  I have run into a problem of sound with Realtek and had to fall back to the original audio driver supplied with the PC to get his job.  Five months later, Realtek audio driver problem fixed.  You need to maybe do this or maybe go back to the last good Windows restore point known. Of course if it does not then you would have to depend on your image less hard drive backup.

    It is also possible that your HDMI audio circuits are bad.

  • How can I display only a part of the screen?

    My screen contains a title and simple 5 LayoutManagers.

    (but it's not complicated, we could simplify to only three LayoutManagers: upper, middle and lower).

    I want only one of them to be scrollable (one named "_fieldManagerMiddle"), since it will contain long text, others must stay fix, since they contain graphics and Menu. In particular, the last Director downstairs (_fieldManagerBottom) must remain where it is.

    (1) my problem is:

    When the_fieldManagerMiddle contains a long text (by clicking a button in the menu of the _fieldManagerMenu above) he is floating, but it means that the entire screen becomes scrollable.

    I tried to add Manager.NO_VERTICAL_SCROLL to other managers, but it did not help.

    It's pretty simple.

    How can I get that only the mid-level becomes scrolls and the rest does not move?

    It's code; What is missing? What's wrong?

      super();
        setTitle(new LabelField("results"));
    
            /* add the five layout managers */
        _fieldManagerTop = new HorizontalFieldManager();
        _fieldManagerMenu = new HorizontalFieldManager();
        _fieldManagerMiddle =  new VerticalFieldManager(Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLL |
                    Manager.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR){
            protected void sublayout( int maxWidth, int maxHeight )
            {
                int remainingplace = Display.getHeight()-_fieldManagerTop.getPreferredHeight() -_fieldManagerMenu.getPreferredHeight() - _fieldManagerBottom.getPreferredHeight() - title.getPreferredHeight() ;
                super.sublayout( Display.getWidth(), remainingplace);
                setExtent( Display.getWidth(), remainingplace);
                }
            };
            _fieldManagerBottom = new HorizontalFieldManager(HorizontalFieldManager.FIELD_RIGHT)
            {
                public void paint(Graphics graphics)
                {
                    graphics.setBackgroundColor(Color.NAVY);
                    graphics.setColor(Color.WHITE); // foreground color
                    graphics.clear();
                    super.paint(graphics);
                }
                protected void sublayout( int maxWidth, int maxHeight )
                {
                    int displayWidth = Display.getWidth();
                    int displayHeight = 25;
                    super.sublayout( displayWidth, displayHeight);
                    setExtent( displayWidth, displayHeight);
                }
            };
    

    I would be very grateful if you could help me with that!

    (2) I also have a second question (but less important): the Middle Manager has to take all the remaining space of the screen, so I subtracted the other Manager height and the height of this Manager at the result of this subtraction:

    int remainingplace = Display.getHeight()-_fieldManagerTop.getPreferredHeight() -_fieldManagerMenu.getPreferredHeight() - _fieldManagerBottom.getPreferredHeight() - title.getPreferredHeight() ;
                super.sublayout( Display.getWidth(), remainingplace);
                setExtent( Display.getWidth(), remainingplace);
    

    This seems not to be correct: if I, the last Director downstairs doesn't have enough room.

    Any ideas?

    The best way to do it, is to use the screen, which is already divided into 3 sections, superior, medium and low, of which only half is scrolling.

    The top depends on what you add to setTitle (who may be a Manager), the background is determined by what you add using setStatus (even once, you can add a handler), and just use the normal add to add the scrolling of the Middle component.

  • Presenter PowerPoint on Mac mini mode displayed on the screen and the projector when using HDMI splitter

    We have a Mac mini connected to a screen and a projector via HDMI using a HDMI splitter.

    It works fine for most applications, but during presentations PowerPoint, presenter is displayed on the monitor and the projector.

    When I disconnected the mini Mac's HDMI cable and put it in a MacBook, the presenter appeared on the MacBook screen (as it should) and only the slide appears on the screen and on the projection screen.

    Of course if we have to use the MacBook for presentations instead of the Mac mini, you would need to have seen the presenter on both the screen and on the screen of the MacBook.

    In the Mac mini display preferences there is no button to "Gather Windows" when the Mac mini is attached to the screen and the projector via HDMI splitter is a tab "setting."

    But these two things appear on the MacBook when it is connected.
