My monitor is dim when undocked but nice and light when it is docked.

It is dim as I unplugged the power and went to the battery, but the cable is connected.  I wonder if my adapter is giving.  Any suggestions?

Hello

1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

2 do as soon as you turn on the laptop?

3. What is the number of brand and model of the laptop?

First check and make sure that the power settings are correct on the laptop.

Configure Windows XP power management

Also run the fixit available in the link below and check if it works.

If the steps above fail, then try the FN key and one of the F keys should set the LCD backlighting.

  • Screen is dimmed when not in service

    Hello

    I don't know if it can be changed, but it is possible to cancel the gradual of the brightness of the screen dimming when I'm not in touch with her?

    In other words: when I touch the screen it's brilliant, a few seconds later, instead of going instantly dark in one phase, TI DIMM gradually until it reaches a certain level of darkness. Then, on toched, is not instantly light once again, but once again, lightned in phases up to what indicates the maximum intensity.

    I have the brightness auto on, I don't know if it has anything to do with it.

    Thank you!

    What happens if you disable the auto brightness?  But I think it's normal, after being idle, the screen will gradually dim and turn off.

    Hey titanman78,

    I certainly understand where you come from. I am a player myself and it would be great to be able to use 3 monitors, but unfortunately, it is simply not cost-effective. The graphics chip of your laptop is soldered to the motherboard. To upgrade your graphics chip, you need to buy a new motherboard and I hope that it fits within the confines of the works and with other components such as the WiFi card, USB card, card reader SD and the power button. It would be difficult to find if it is available to all. The other option might be if you could find a repair business card mother who would be willing to guarantee their work enough to unsolder your old graphics chip and solder on a new graphics chip. There still no guarantees with that however, that he would work with the chipset, processor, and the HP Framework software.

    Generally for an 'Advanced' like that game, a customizable desktop computer is a better option. I had to break myself and save money to build my own recently. Carey Holzman has an excellent series of tutorials on creating your own gaming PC on Youtube. That's if you're an amateur. If not, look for pre-made desktop computers with AMD Eyefinity - what is AMD Eyefinity?

    When this form is connected to a new laptop think Pad W520, VGA connection, it displays full width without distortion, without adjustment by me.

    What should I do to the computer or the monitor to get full width display without distortion?

    Hello

    Back to the DVI cable.  Do not use adapters.

    Have you installed thelatest driver of monitor?  Make sure that Device Manager is grateful the x 2511 HP monitor.

    Look in the display control panel and make sure that the monitor is the value of the landscape and the recommended resolution.  That indicates the recommended display resolution control panle?

    Try a reset of the monitor. Unplug the power cord from the monitor and hold the power button of the monitor for 30 to 60 seconds. Plug the monitor back in and it lights up.

    Hi Aldo,.

    As directed by the PM, I sent you, I genericised the script a bit more, it should be easier to use (no need to the Standard.ps1 file).  Similarly the name of your Center virtual servers don't need to be put in a separate file CSV file is

    To avoid having to create credentials files, delete the following lines...

    # Load password credential from encrypted file
    $pass = Get-Content $PassFile | ConvertTo-SecureString
    $user = Get-Content $UserFile
    $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PsCredential($user, $pass)
    

    .. .and replace by (the script will prompt you for the user/pass)...

    $cred = Get-Credential
    

    Hope this gets you operational.

    Note that I found to NIC and driver versions HBA is quite unreliable using this script, that there is a lot of consistency in what is returned by ICM to hardware vendors.  More on the servers I tested with firmware HBA was never available.  A more reliable, but more complex method is to use PowerShell for SSH for your ESX, which has its own problems, but is another approach (when you do audits of system I tend to use both).  See below for more info...

  • Tecra A10 - how to disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked

    Hello

    I use a Tecra A10 with a 2 Express Port Replicator.
    How can I disable the fingerprint reader when it is docked and still use it when undocked?

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    As far as I know that something like this is not possible.
    Following this logic, it will be possible to have access to protected files when the laptop is on docking station.

    Either you use fingerprints or not.

  • Tecra 8000 TV out when it is docked

    The docking station for the doen't Tecra8000 replicate the TVout connector, but I have a cable to right angle that matches the TV normal port when connected and allows the cable out the host unit. TV connector normally output is disabled when it is docked and is there a setting in the registry or something in 98SE to re - activate?

    I connect my Tecra to a TV to watch DivX movies on the big screen, with the audio goes to my stereo, but I need to use the device with the Replicator, because the server containing my video files on a network, so I need the capacity of the network. I COULD use a network adapter, but then that beats the purpose of a docking station with the LAN!

    Retro Hi

    I'm a bit confused. As much as I know some Tecra 8000 have no LAN card. If your camera has card LAN and LAN port why you n t plug it directly into the TV and LAN without Port Replicator?

    I'm not sure if the port is disabled, but you can test if you can 100%. If there is no success, you must use the PCMCIA network adapter.

    Good bye

  • WiFi connected but browsers and mail stop working

    Here's the situation:

    iMac, 4 years, OS X 10.7.5

    WiFi connected but, browsers and mail stop working sometimes recently.

    Checked the wifi & browser settings.

    Do not remember something like what happens when connected online cat5.

    Curious to know what is happening.

    Say local store card is perhaps go wrong.

    The machine is only 8 ' of router.

    Another pc on the network does not appear to be a problem.

    Any help appreciated.

    You can connect an Ethernet cable to see if it works on Ethernet when you encounter problems easily?

    Try to use your own DNS server.  Because if the DNS server that you use currently is not translate www.company.com name to IP address nn.nn.nn.nn, it will look like you do not have internet access.

    System Preferences-> network-> advanced-> DNS-> [+]

    OpenDNS.org

    208.67.222.222

    208.67.220.220

    Google DNS

    8.8.8.8

    8.8.4.4

    You can remove them later if you want using the [---] button.

    If this does not work, it could mean that your router is having problems.  Most routers act as the local DNS server, make a cache and especially fair bet as a DNS server provided a front for the access provider.  If the router begins to act, it can often be cleared by power cycling the router.

    And once again, if you provide your own DNS server works, then it could be DNS servers of the ISP, but less likely that they would be getting a lot of complaints from their customers (assuming that customers thought it was DNS servers).

    You know, there are 2 sides to any path of communications.

    If it is technically possible for radio Wi - Fi of the iMac to fail, it's actually not very common.

    Hello KarenJudyOrdoyne,

    Thanks for the return of the response.  I've included the Dell Web site below for the latest drivers, firmware and BIOS updates.  I would like to confirm that you are the first on the updates.

    Dell support:

    http://support.Dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/KCS/document?docid=427825

    If you look in the support section, other users have reported this problem.  In some cases, replace the power supply cable has solved this problem and I show other update to the latest BIOS update and this has changed.

    Also, do you have the Dell Diagnostics on your computer?  This is usually installed by the manufacturer, but you can run a test to determine if there is a hardware problem.

    I hope this helps!
