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.

  • 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.

  • Connection between the monitor and the Studio 1458 laptop seems broken

    After happily using my Dell Studio 1458 for a little over a year, all of a sudden my laptop screen went completely blank (not black, but a sort of grey empty) when I started yesterday. I have reset several times, I let it run and I heard the sounds of standard Windows startup. Since I assumed the laptop worked again very well, and I plugged an external monitor. I am now using the laptop with this external monitor and everything except the monitor to the laptop works very well.

    I can still go to "change screen resolution" and see the laptop screen correctly detected by Windows. I can turn it on by selecting "extend these screens. I can also change the screen resolution on the laptop screen. It's the same kind of gray white whatever I do. Of all this I conclude, there is nothing wrong with the drivers: the more likely culprit seems to be the link between the laptop and the screen of the laptop. Unfortunately I ran out of warranty three weeks ago so I don't know what are my options here. I started to disassemble the laptop to see if maybe I could plug a cable loose once more, but I got cold feet at halfway when I remembered that I had saved not properly all my files.

    Any ideas on how should I proceed?

    Thank you

    Johannes

    This would mean it's time to start trying new parts - cable first.  If that does nothing, try a new inverter (if the screen is CCFL).  If it's backlit by LEDS, try a new screen.

  • 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.

  • 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! :)

    There are many differences between these models and also, there are different R700 and R630 models on the market.

  • Windows 8 to jump between Metro UI and the office at startup.

    This morning, I turn on my laptop HP ENVY-M6. Booted up fine, except he was stuck on the home screen when I connect. So I held the power button to stop it. I tried to start it again. He started, but when I proceed to log in the background color is different than the one I took. After leaving the Welcome screen, he jumped between the metro UI screen and a black screen with a bar gray at the bottom. The screen of the metro UI has also much lower tiles that I remember.

    Please help because I have to use the laptop of the future.
    Hello
     
    Follow the troubleshooting methods listed here.
     
    Method 1
     

    Step 1: Put the computer in safe mode with networking

    With the parameters of Windows startup screen (formerly advanced startup options), you can start Windows in different advanced troubleshooting modes, so you can find and fix problems on your PC. In previous versions of Windows, you might get to the screen by pressing F8 before Windows starts. 8PCs Windows start quickly so there is not enough time to press F8.

    Follow the steps in the link below.

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-in/Windows-8/Windows-startup-settings-including-safe-mode

    If the computer works properly, please perform the following step.

    Step 2: Put the computer to boot and search for the issue.

    Place the computer in a clean boot state, then check if it helps. You can start Windows by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: the Microsoft Safety Scanner expires 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: during the analysis of the disk hard if bad sectors are found, the parser attempts to repair this area, all available on which data may be lost.

    Step 2: analyze and run Windows Defender in offline mode.

    Windows Defender offline can help eliminate these hard to find malicious and potentially unwanted programs using definitions that recognize the threats. Definitions are files that provide an encyclopedia of potential software threats. Follow the steps in the link here. Download the appropriate file depending on the version of bits in your computer.


    What is Windows Defender in offline mode?

    This isn t possible.
    You can use an external and an internal display.

  • Problems with external monitor and the Satellite U200 - 10 d

    I have a Satellite U200 - 10 d running Vista Business Edition. When I attach an external display screen flickers (horizontal lines on the screen)... It's worse when you move the mouse on the screen. The monitor on the laptop is fine I just have problems with the external display.

    The screen that I is a model VG1930WM viewsonic (widescreen) here is the specs of res for this screen...

    PC VGA up to 1440 x 900 non-interlaced
    Analog analog/digital RGB (75 Ohm, 0.7 Vc - c) / DVI - D

    Anyone have any ideas? I checked the graphics driver for vista and this is the latest version...

    HM, it's a nice solution, I have a friend with a similar problem.

    We will try your suggestion, snipe and perhaps give feedback if it worked for us.

  • How to connect the external monitor to Satellite T130-C17?

    It has a HDMI port on my laptop and I would use it to connect to a monitor...
    The monitor supports DVI and VGA...
    So I thought that buying a VGA-HDMI would do the trick...

    Unfortunately, when I plug it almost doesn t do something...
    I want to use the monitor as my monitor 3rd btw. That's why I want it on the HDMI port.
    The resolution isn't really a problem for me because I put t want to do something great graphics on it anyway.

    For me, it makes sense to use the HDMI Cable DVI and not to use the VGA port.

    This third monitor is a little strange to me.
    You want to connect two external screens/monitors to your laptop satellite?

  • Difference between external tables and sql * loader

    Hello

    Could you please tell me the difference between
    tables external and sql * loader

    I have serached on the net but did ' get correct idea

    Please help me

    1 SQL LOADER can be run on the network (from any client computer), external tables can't

    2. return to the Oracle 9, external Tables could not load CLOB/BLOB (Oracle10 changed it)

    3 oracle 11 external tables have preprocessor, which is pretty dam characteristic cool - running essentially any OS command e.g. decompress before external table run. What's even better is the fact that the result of the operating system command is the source of the outer table, which means that there are no required temporary file (unzip the tracks and the output is the source of the external table). There are several ways to great use this - look at my blog for samples rare http://jiri.wordpress.com/2010/01/19/no-more-unix-scripts-in-11-2/

    4. as long as the 009 stressed, filed external load anything, they show just. Think of it more as load on request - it's great if you have old files archived and one or two users what to see content once a while

    5. external tables require no user access to the operating system, it is oracle environment pure - this may seem minor but for me it's huge. The fact that the ETL needs no special unix, no control file command and uses the simple SQL and DDL is nice and important

    6. external tables can load more text files, Oracle export dump files can be loaded, perhaps in the future more formats will be supported (hopefully all right excel format?)

    now the same thing to kill the myth - the TWO are EXACTLY the same when it comes to speed, I would actually drive of the external tables before will be faster because sql loader is old technology oracle doesn't really develops more
