Laptop HP HDX16 - this morning only my external monitor was video

I have a laptop HP HDX16, Windows 7 64 bit.

It seems my computer updated automatically and restarts, only the external monitor work, when I choose to extend my screen, I get my monitor and a VGA, my laptop screen display is no longer an option for selection. I have plugged my monitor and rebooted the machine that sometimes these things is fixed by a reboot. To restart that my laptop came fine, as soon as I plugin my external monitor, the screen of the laptop stops working. I try selecting the screen externd utility in Windows, but it is not an option. If I unplug my monitor the screen of the laptop does not return, I have to put it to sleep then wake him up for the screen to go back to the laptop.

I'm sure that's not material related such as this worked yesterday, and I am able to see the screen, just not at the same time. I need to use my two screens, according to me, that I can't work without them both. Help, please.

Included are the screenshots when the screen is selected.

Thank you in advance,

Rick

Guys, I ran the update utility Fixit windowns and it ran for about 15 minutes, he pointed out that there are two errors with updates, although when I looked at the log of update, the newspaper didn't report any error.  So right after that the utility was done, I could see two screens.

Thank you for your time, and I hope that the post helps someone else who maybe expiriencing the same problem.

  • Portege Z830: I want to disable internal LCD and use only the external monitor

    I have a Toshiba Portege z830.
    I use my laptop in "Extended desktop", mode with an external monitor, which is the main display.
    In this mode, the two screens are still on, but I want the built-in LCD screen to be opened only when I use it.

    Is this possible?
    Thank you.

    Hello

    In my opinion, this is not possible.
    In extended mode, you use and display internal but extended and the long part is visible on the external monitor.
    In such a case its any that your external monitor is set as main display.

    Yes - hardware.  Could be really the screen itself or the video chipset on the card mother the power (or combination).

  • HP Elitebook/HP 2013 Docking: Elitebook will acknowledge only an external monitor at the same time

    I have a HP Elitebook that I anchor on a HP 2013 Ultra Slim Docking Station. I am trying to connect two external monitors (the two HP EliteDisplay E201) to the docking - one VGA and one DVI. The docking station is more than enough ports and screens both work if hooked up at once, but I can't bring it to be recognized at the same time. Is there something that I am missing? Do I need a splitter or how to make this work? Thank you!!

    No need to apologize.  If anything, I should apologize because I purge my frustrations with HP to someone also have problems with the HP hardware.  That makes no sense at all.

    Anyway, it seems that the Folio 9480 m will have HD Graphics 4400 * at least *.

    According to the Intel site, it supports up to 3 independent displays, so you're good so far.

    Intel page is very informative, in order to see if you can understand how to operate from here:

    http://www.Intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/graphics-drivers/000005556.html

    Before that, make sure that your port docking station display firmware is up-to-date.  I assume you are using HP 2013 Ultraslim Docking Station.  Look at the Firmware of this page section (find your way to the page "drivers & software" for your product, or use the software for HP do you still, even though I personally do not use them).

  • Help! Aspire 5735 laptop with broken screen does not recognize external monitor after the factory restore

    I have an ACER Aspire 5735, running horrible Vista that never worked from the beginning, always locked up, media player never worked, on, on, and after about a year my dog took in the power cord and threw out of the table and the broken screen. I used it with an external monitor for a while, but it was even worse after that and after that he take to get fixed yet has proceeded to run super slow, always locked up, refused to stop or start upward normally, and so he sat in a closet for about 3 years.

    I took it out a week ago to see if I could at least use it for my kids to friends to play on, but that she still had so many questions, I decided to do a factory restore. And of course the recovery disks that I did when I got it do not work and are not yet recognized by the computer. So I went online and has used a method that I found there by rebooting and hitting the keys ALT F10 until I was at the factory reset option. It worked GREAT! Except once the computer has restarted and opened up to windows deleted monitor and I can't do anything with the computer because apparently it does not recognize that it is hooked to an external monitor on the restore to factory settings! Help!

    She does not recognize the monitor as it has been restarted and was even the windows start the display of the icon, but as soon as it loads the screen becomes black with just the graphics "monitor is on but not connected to what either" floating around.

    Is it possible to access something in the BACK or other so he could recognize the external monitor?  What is finally toast?

    Connect the external monitor to the laptop.

    Hold down the FN key and press the F4 key. Check if you get a display on the external monitor.

  • Dynadock: set up for external monitors only in Windows XP

    We have a number of different laptops Toshiba dynadock DVI running Windows XP SP3 and dynadock 2.3 c with the video driver 4.5.14974.0.

    They all work very well, exactly as planned, except that the majority of users want to use with the external monitor only.

    We are currently their execution in mirror mode because the split screen extended mode is not necessary which requires the external monitor at the same resolution as the screen internal.

    All laptops have screens internal standard WXGA 1280 x 800, but find an external 19 "monitor that supports this resolution is a real problem with most being WXGA + 1440 x 900.

    I found a 22 "monitor is going to do, but the image is not very strong, probably because its native resolution is WSXGA + 1680 x 1050 and are also just a little more expensive.

    I found a document on the Web from Toshiba site we (Document ID: 98082393) that details how to display only the external monitor, probably with the help of whatever the external monitor can manage the resolution which would be perfect, except that it only works with Windows Vista.

    If someone has found a way to do this with Windows XP, I tried following the instructions of Vista, but I am unable to set the external monitor as primary display? Toshiba are working on a new video driver that will support this configuration?

    Sounds a little crazy for me because this is how the majority of the standard docking stations is used and many companies also have a significant deployment aspect 4:3 or 5:4 screens that obviously don't work well with laptops widescreen in mirror mode.

    Our users are currently using XGA 1024 x 768 in mirror mode which, on a big screen is stretched and defeats the main reason for having a large screen. We are the only ones having this problem or are we missing something obvious?

    Thanks to anyone with a useful suggestion.

  • How to reset the default monitor on Acer 2920, computer laptop think always connected to an external monitor

    Hello, I hope you can help me! I have a laptop Aspire 2920 with Windows Vista Home Edition O.S. It starts and works fine except that after I used it with an external monitor (a tv screen) on the possibility of using the external monitor, it only now starting to think that the monitor is the flat screen tv and doesn't recognize the normal screen of the laptop. The laptop screen is now "pixeled" and shows only like 2/3 of its total width. I checked in Control Panel and it has recorded as the 'normal' monitor flat screen, but I can't way a find to tell the computer that the monitor is the same as usual and not the flat screen tv. Thank you!!!

    Dear Lawrence,

    I ve solved the problem.

    Do you have your suggestion to reset and did not work, but keeping your idea, I hooked to an external monitor, mounted in Control Panel, remove the "non-existent" monitor in the device section.

    At this point, I had no image at all in the laptop and only the external monitor.

    Turn off the computer and then reset the power supply.

    Because the computer did not all other monitors, he then had to use the one by default with the default resolution, etc..

    Thanks, it was a great help!

    Asus K50IJ laptop

    Win 7 Home Premium 64 - Bit SP1

    Intel Core2Duo T6600

    4 GB OF RAM

    Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset Family

    Monitor is Samsung SC750_S24C750P connected with VGA cable (laptop doesn't have a HDMI output)

    I reinstalled the drivers for the graphics card; current driver is 8.15.10.2302 of 11/02/2011

    I reinstalled the drivers for the monitor; current driver is 1.0.0.0 11 13, 2012

    Monitor is currently appearing as "HDMI" in the Device Manager; I have chosen "Analogue" and had the same results. Now & then I see "Generic PnP monitor" in the Device Manager. whenever I see it I uninstall it.

    Bottom line is this: settings keep bouncing everywhere. On rare occasions, I saw the picture I want on the external monitor; When I close the lid on my computer (that's why I bought the external monitor - so I can get a bigger picture, not two), the resolution is 1024 x 768. When I disconnect the external monitor, I get the correct image and ratio 16:9 (1366 x 768) on my laptop screen. When I connect the external monitor I have two choices for the resolution: 800 x 600 or 1024 x 768.

    I went to the Intel graphics properties tool and set a resolution to 1920 x 1080 at 60 Hz - 32 bit - proposed by Samsung for their monitor. Result 7 choices of resolution, no '' recommended '' and the higher tag 1366 x 768. I can live with 1280 x 720; When I choose this resolution or anything higher, the laptop screen is superb, but the image on the external monitor covers 1/4 of the screen - the rest is black. Reset the external monitor doesn't change anything.  Computer restarting does not help. Monitor disconnect/reconnect does not help. I tried this routine dozens of times.

    I really need to use the external monitor, and I need the image proportional. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi, thanks for the response.

    I saw this on the Intel Web site so I tried mode extended without change.

    If I had 1366 x 768 on both screens, I would have been delighted - instead, I had two choices on my external monitor: 4:3, covering the entire screen with a distorted image, or 16:9 which covers about 40% of the screen.

    The most likely explanation I can think of is that the external monitor 4:3, I used in the past has left a kind of preference file in my computer which could not be changed, so he kept coming back to 4:3 instead of 16:9. I thought the problem might be the VGA - VGA cable, but this does not explain why I was unable to cover the entire screen on my external monitor with something other than a distorted picture.

    Using the past because I was forced to buy a new laptop. As soon as I plugged on the external monitor, everything was perfect.

    Thanks again for your help.
