Need opinions on very large external monitors and Satellite A100-02 b

Hi, people

I have a real fine Tosh Satellite A100-02 b (PSAAR) and use it now with an old 15 "CRT as desktop"
extension at a resolution of 1024 * 768 under Vista.

Now, I started to develop a language c#-software with Visual Studio Express and just need to 'space' on
My monitors for all Visual Studio itself, the VS-Help, not anchored windows for the software
I want 'interoperability', their documentation, object models etc. etc.

Then I would ask:

-My manual says that an external monitor max resolution is 2048 * 1536
Is it also possible as extension of office or is there a lower limit in this case?

Is there a limit on which Vista Aero off
(I don't want to, because I love it)

-My Tosh doesn't have a DVI output, is a real large external monitor limited by that
or are there constraints of display quality?

OK, a few very special questions, but before making such a costly investment :), I want to
get some opinions here in this beautiful forum...

Thanks in advance,
Matz

Hello

According to the specification of the notebook you should not have problems with screen resolution of 2048 x 1536.

I can't give you info on Vista Aero because I have no such external screen, but your priority is to use the external display correctly and do not have Vista Aero. Am I wrong? It is far more important to choose between these two options first.

You are right your laptop has no DVI output port, but you can use the RGB port with RGB-to-DVI converter. Talk to your local dealer. It can help you.

At the end: If you buy external display you can test a few days. If you are not satisfied you can bring it back. Generally you have 14 days to try the product. Find out on this subject.

  • Output VGA jumps between external monitor and Satellite L505

    I have a Satellite L505-144 related to an external VGA monitor via a KVM Aten 2-way switch.

    Intermittently on the screen of the external monitor black background, the image will transfer to the screen of the laptop for a second before returning to the external display. This does not seem to be triggered by any particular measure of keyboard or mouse and doesn't seem to be time bound.

    The keyboard and mouse connected to the KVM seem unaffected. I have the latest video bios motherboard and all the latest drivers Toshiba comes out loaded.
    To test the KVM I connected a Toshiba NB200 L505, stops problem instead, replace the L505, it comes back.

    The question is not performed by the presence of a second PC connected to the KVM. I have tried with a second PC on and outside, connected and unconnected, is still no change in the problem.

    I spent the autour KVM cables and the problem persists and follows the L505. If I connect the L505 directly to monitor the problem disappears!
    I find its a problem between the KVM and the L505.

    Is there a known fix or get around it?
    Is there a guarantee if I get a Belkin KVM say this question with the L505 will not happen with this material as well?

    At first, I have to say that I n t believes that Toshiba offers fix for this. Toshiba doesn't support the use of third-party products part so if there are a few possible correction or bypass ATEN ought to know this.

    Connect any external devices you use directly on your Satellite L505, try features and let us know f you have a problem similar or any other.

  • Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

    Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

    Yesterday I did face the following problem:

    I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

    I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

    And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

    Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

    --
    Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

    I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

    This sentence is very interesting.
    Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

    It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
    Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

    If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
    Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

    Greetings and good luck

  • Satellite L650-0ED - ports external monitor and turn off WiFi

    Hey,.

    1. I have a Satellite L650/0ED, I was wondering if the HDMI and the external monitor port start when starting and if they cause the start time of the laptop to be slower. If they do slow down the start how disable them you using Device Manager, since I looked, I tried to disable the Device Manager; but I can't find them anywhere on the list of devices.
    They have a special code name or something?

    2. based on my understanding, the manual of instruction/userguide Toshiba mentions if I press FN + F8 it turns off the wireless amber light but this is not the case, since the amber wireless is still or not. I have the wireless active or disabled.
    It say it's so I have the wireless off of amber or the - Orange must be turned off when I press FN + F8 and is not, why is this?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    1. No, they cause t a slower start. He doesn't know me and as long as I know it of not possible to disable the ports in the BIOS. Then n t you worry about this, even, you have connected external screens, boot time is the same.

    2. Yes, usually you can activate the WLAN functionality by using the FN + F8 key combination.
    I put t have the laptop in front of me, but normally if you don t have a hardware wireless switch, you can disable the wireless network adapter in the BIOS. Just put permits for disabled people and that should be all! :)

  • Problem with the electric guitar and Satellite A100-906

    Hello

    I get a strange sharp sound of my guitar amp speaker when I try to play starting from the monitor of my laptop. Is this normal? I used to play in front of a screen LCD LG and everything was nice and quiet.

    However a few minutes ago, I discovered the FL inverter, which exists in the monitor to my laptop and was not on my LCD. FL-ups would cause this noise to my guitar? I want to emphasize that I can not hear the sound of my monitor. I can only hear it through my guitar and the amplifier speaker microphones.

    I hope you understand my problem.
    Looking forward to a response!

    Thank you
    Nikos

    Hello

    I n t have guitar and can't be 100% sure about your question, but perhaps you need a sort of Notebook Surge Station and noise filter. Google a bit and look for info on this filter.

  • Need info on type of hard disk for Satellite A100

    I have a model of Satellite A100 (PSAA9E)

    It used to power up, but I need all the info on the hard drive, which models are compatible (plug-and-play style) so I can buy a 2nd hand laptop and use my old hard drive
    (assuming this is possible)

    Thank you

    In Satellite A100 a SATA interface HARD drive and if you want to use the data you can simply buy box USB HDD and connect it to any PC or laptop as external device.
    So you will have full access to all the data stored there.

  • How to connect external speakers to Satellite A100-451

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A100-451 (UK) running Vista. I want to connect external speakers. There is a "headphone" Jack on the front (3.5 mm jack I think), can I connect external speakers here? The speakers are "PC Line" with their own power supply and also have a 3.5 mm jack plug).

    Thank you

    KK

    You need the audio Line out put and the headset jack provides this output.
    In other words, you can use this Jack to connect external speakers

  • BT sending between Nokia 7373 and Satellite A100-207 does not work

    Hi everyone, I wonder if you could help me please.

    I have a laptop Satellite A100-207 with Windows XP Im trying to send a few things from my nokia 7373 to my computer and some stuff from my computer to my phone, but it won't work.

    I have the bluetooth Wizard thing on my computer, but it keeps telling me that it cannot find not all devices.
    My bluetooth is on and shown at all, so I don't know what im doing wrong.

    Do I have to download stuff?
    This computer no bluetooth in there?

    IM so confused so if you have ideas, please let me know.
    Ive tried to fix this for two days now and im starting to lose my patience.

    > This computer no Bluetooth in there?
    Your assumption is correct.

    This laptop does not support the BT module and so you cannot use it ;)
    If you can't find any BT label at the bottom of the unit and then the BT module has not been installed.

  • Need to buy a new battery for a satellite A100 - don't know which!

    Hello

    My Satellite A100 laptop battery is dead... He has for the last year showed signs of life slowly reduce.
    But I can't for the life of understand me which battery to buy on the section of devices of websites of Toshiba under Power Options.
    All Advisor, welcome.

    Also my laptop has started to become extraordinarily hot - who would have something to do with the life of the battery is reduced?

    Concerning
    RAM

    You can find the model number of your battery and buy the same model. My Toshiba A100-383 battery has this model number: PA3399U-2BRS, I don't know if yours has this number too.

    The heat is a big problem for Li - ion batteries. In any case, you should check if your laptop temperature is abnormal (maybe a fan does not work or it is dirty) because it can affect other components.
