  • The screen is divided into 4

    Hi, can anyone help?
    Suddenly, my screen is divided into 4, which means there are now 4 miniature versions of everything I do. Everybody met it before and there at - it a way to back to normal?
    Thank you very much.

    Hi, Luce,.

    Right now this looks like a harware problem - probably your video card or monitor. First of all lets check to make sure that it is not not a parameter.

    1.), right click on your desktop and click Customize. Then go to display settings. In this window, set your resolution to a lower setting by moving the slider to the left.

    2.) If you have a trial office, have disconnected and reconnected the connection to the monitor. If that does nothing, try connecting a different monitor and make sure you use another cable. If this does not work, you must have a tech look at your video card.

  • Satellite C855-1QC screen is divided into two parts after the mode 'sleep'

    Hi guys,.

    I have the following problem. When I put my C855 1QC Satellite in sleep mode (sometimes also after a reboot). The logo at the beginning, when the system back to the top is fine, but the home screen becomes divided vertically into two parts. Good content is there, but flashes on the display.

    I've found a workaround: I open a session, press Fn + F4 and click on dual screen. A normal screen appears, but does not cover the full size of the actual display. Then I click Fn + F4 and return to the initial display again and all is well. It's really annoying, so any suggestion is welcome. Oh, BTW my OS is 64-bit Wk8.

    Second question relates to the brightness of the screen. I can't find a way how the brightness to adjust automatically according to the ambient light conditions.

    Third and last one relates to the Radeon VGA, config tool at the launch said, there is nothing to configure.

    Thanks for your suggestions,

    Martin

    Hi Martin

    Described display problem is definitely not normal so I would know since when have you noticed it. I put t know what can be the reason for this, but I can't imagine there is a simple trick to fix this, so I recommend you to reinstall the OS using recovery media and test with the factory settings.
    It will be interesting to know if the same thing will happen again and again.
    In general all the drivers are included in the recovery image are tested and I can't imagine display driver may be responsible for this. Try please test with the pos and comments factory settings.
    > I can't find a way how the brightness to adjust automatically according to the ambient light conditions.
    As much as I know something like this is not automatically due to lack of light sensor. The display brightness must be changed manually.

  • Compaq dv6000 - screen divided into 4

    Compaq DV6000 with processor intel core duo and 950 GMA intel card, whenever I start the computer, as soon as it starts, the screen is divided into 4 identical screens, and remains in the same way even after check-in. on vista home premium, looked at the properties to all the graphics, portable restored to factory settings, still problem persists. interesting, however, that display the same laptop to display extended is fine.

    Picture attached in the following post: http://forum.notebookreview.com/hp-compaq/690743-hp-dv6000-screen-split-into-4-please-help.html

    Help, please!

    Thanks for the p/n

    This means that the problem is hardware related. An integrated video chip of your laptop system board has problems.

    If your laptop is still under warranty that HP can be replaced under warranty. Check the status of the guarantee

    You should also check to see if your laptop battery falls under the recall program

    If is no longer in warranty, you need to decide when you replace the motherboard of the laptop or possibly having sewn video chip (it is cheaper) is worth the expense. There are online companies who specialize in this type of repair.

    What are the chipset and the video chip to the system board from your laptop?

    Use CPU-z and GPU-z at the end of this information.

  • Satellite C660 - 2 EV screen divided into three sections

    Hi, please someone can help me?

    My Satellite C660 - 2 EV has developed a display problem where the screen is divided into three equal sections or parts, with the section of the Middle standing in the middle of the screen, but the left side is now on the right side of the screen and the right side is now on the left.

    Ive searched the forums and found nothing on the Toshiba site, which just closed, but found that many sites say that it could be a hardware failure, with either the graphics card or the Ribbon that feeds on the screen that runs through the hinges.

    Can anyone plaese shed some light on this?

    > found many sites say that it could be a hardware failure, with either the graphics card or the Ribbon that feeds on the screen that runs through the hinges.

    The same question is displayed on the external screen/monitor?
    If so, this means that your graphics card chip (maybe the motherboard) is the troublemaker.

  • HP Pavilion e17 - 148 ca: [URGENT] need response on the laptop screen went blank question

    Hello there, this is the Prince of the heavenly Crown of Canada here.

    I've been a loyal user of HP consumer level laptop for 2 years.

    It seems that there is a problem with my laptop screen display.

    For my part, this is the first time this kind of problem has occurred.

    For some reason, in my current (well, now its my last) session, my screen became totally blank on me and turned black, as if the laptop was in a sort out of power status, however, the power of the laptop was always and until the issue has suddenly decided to occur before my eyes , I had been using the laptop and was even working on a coding operating... some of you may know me as the creator of the heavenly System.ini Crown Configuration file.

    Apparently, it is a known issue with HP Laptop, and I don't know if HP is actively focusing on the question of setting so that it does not become an inconvenience to other users of HP laptops or buyers.

    Is there a known solution as to how to fix this kind of problem? This is very critical and I was in the middle of the tent to save the rest of my code in Notepad on my desk, but I would speculate that asides from the 2 files I could save, the rest would have gone unless I would be able to resume my last session which I highly doubt at this stage.

    If someone could please let me know as soon as possible, I would appreciate it a lot.

  • computer laptop screen divided to 6 screens!

    Hi guys

    I have a big problem with my laptop screen.

    my notebook is HP G60-120US when the laptop starts up the screen divided to 6 screens like this

    I have now, it is the feature of hp or my screen problem

    Thank you guys.

    I read on other threads that it is the result of cracks forming in welding under the video chip.  If the laptop is still under warranty, contact HP customer support.  If not, call a few computer shops and ask a quote your video chip reflow.

    This is the thread that I found it:

  • Why the hard disk is divided into partitions of two data (C:Vista and E: Data)?

    I just started a new A200-1V0 and found that disk space is divided into two partitions of sizes equal 'C:Vista' and ' E: Data "(and a small one EISA).

    WHY? What is the logic and purpose? It's not even as if the C:Vista partition is smaller and intended only to the tricks of the 'system' as the root 'Users' (user Documents) is on it also.

    This is the default for Vista (my first use of it), if not, who said that Toshiba could do this without asking me?

    How can I move the root 'Users' in Vista (in the data partition) - if I have two partitions that I might as well use it?

    I can resize partitions in Vista without a utility 3 rd-party (or a complete backup/restore)?

    Thank you

    Hello just YOU

    Please don't be offended because there is no reason for this. You bought the new product with the factory settings. Toshiba and other hardware manufacturer do not know every customer personally and, unfortunately, it was not possible to ask YOU how to set up YOUR laptop.

    Because of this, there is a recovery of product support that allows to configure the HARD disk according to your wishes and needs.

    Please use this DVD and install OS how you want it to be. What recovery procedure starts, you will see CONFIGURATION option on the right side. Click on it and choose the right option.

    Reinstall the OS and enjoy your life. Really, I don't have the time to write on the floors of two partitions, because this is basic stuff and you probably don't want to waste your time to read this.

    Bye and good luck!

  • Notebook15-r110na Energy Saver: my laptop screen has suddenly started to go black when I need to plug the power adapter

    Laptop screen has just started to go black when I need to plug the power adapter to recharge, if I get screen back to normal.  I have not downloaded anything new recently.  I have download the free 10 Windows but that was months ago.  Any help would be appreciated, but please not too technical as I'm not an expert on computers.

    Maybe the powerplan battery is changed or not properly configured. You can see the current powerplan thanks the battery status bar icon.
    Please check if the powerplan options are correct.
    More specific:
    Brightness updates when it is plugged into the charger OK?

    Also: If the screen goes black, can still use you the shortcut keyboard keys to adjust the brightness?

  • Computer laptop screen flashes

    Hello. My laptop screen started blinking last night and it jumps between desktop screens and start. Also, the icons on the taskbar disappear and reappear when it flashes. I see that others have had this problem on another thread, but it does not resemble a solution posted after the first response.

    So far I used F8 to access Advanced Boot Options to run a system restore. I did the last update of HP using as reference. The restore went very well, but does not solve the problem. I tried to go back to the previous update and run another restore, but then I got the message that the restoration has failed, and my c drive could be damaged. I can't run a check on this record that the laptop doesn't let me log on as an administrator on the application of the control panel when I right click on it.

    II have worked on this problem for the last 2 hours and don't know what to try next and would like some ideas. I'm not very techno then simple instructions work best. Thank you.

    Hi AndreaJJ,

    Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the Forums of HP, I would like to draw your attention to the Guide of the Forums HP first time here? Learn how to publish and more.

    I saw your post about your laptop flashes between the desktop and the start menu. I'll be happy to help you. I did some research into your solution and found very little information but I found some promising information. Let's look at disabling the Windows Error Reporting Service. To do that you need to access the Services that third link will show you how to get to Services and how to disable a service. In the list you will be looking for Windows Error Reporting Service and disable it. Give that a try and let me know how it goes.

    Thank you

    Try the following steps to extend the monitor on the second screen.

    1. In the settings of the display properties dialog box tab, click the icon of the monitor that represents the monitor you want to use in addition to your primary monitor.
    2. Click to select the checkbox extend my desktop on this monitor . After enabling this feature, you can drag items across your screen on alternative screens. Or, you can resize a window to stretch it on several monitors.
