Portege R500: What DVI port duplicator would be compatible

• Portege R500 - question of Port Replicator

  I just bought a PA3603U-1PRP (mainly) to connect an external monitor, a keyboard and mouse wireless to my Portege R-500.
  Once attached to the port replicator (after startup) the HARD drive password prompt appears on the external monitor.

  However, until I get the password for HARD drive on the laptop the wireless keyboard keyboard is frozen (can not enter anything).

  Once I get the password for HARD drive on the laptop itself the external monitor, keyboard, and mouse work fine.

  Is there a setting/reason when the port replicator is attached to the laptop that I can not enter the password HARD drive on the wireless keyboard?

  Thanks in advance for your comments.

  What is the wireless dongle attached to the laptop or the rep of port?

  Try updating the BIOS R500 and the display driver. Also try reinstalling the driver of the Extensions of the Mobile or Toshiba Value Package added.

• Portege R500 - configure the parser on the Port Replicator

  The system is Portege R500 with a port replicator Port MS Vista running. Port replicator has a Philips 19 "LCD monitor

  System has BEEN configured so that when the system was in the duplicator monitor 19 "inches would be active and system monitor is inactive.

  But, a few days before the following events occur, when the system is in the port replicator and its turned on screen (the one with the mobile progress indicator) Windows startup is displayed on the Port Replicator monitor, then the screen turns white and displays them on the screen on the monitor system, after entering the desktop on the monitor system.

  I live in a remote area, so I can't pop in the store of the local computer to ask for help.

  I would appreciate someone to give me some guidance as to where it configures the port replicator monitor configuration. I looked at the section Configuration screen Control Panel but it seems to be the performance of two monitors, it appears not to address the peculiarities of a laptop computer with a port replicator configuration

  Thank you

  Hello

  I have no Portege R500 but I ve used external monitor connected to my Tecra duplicator.
  Can you please tell me how you have configured previously?

  What is your external monitor set as primary monitor?

• Portege R500: external monitor does not work with the Port Replicator Port 2 and DVI

  I have a Portege R500 running Vista with a slim Port Replicator II and digital monitor Viewsonic.
  I connected the monitor to the DVI port on the port replicator and got it to work OK.
  Press fn + F5 would switch between the computer screen and the external monitor.

  Then it stopped working, and I can't make it work at all. F5 recognizes just the laptop screen.

  If I connect an analog display, it is fine, and I can pass between the two screens without difficulty.

  The strangest thing is that, if I reboot when the Portege R500 is docked, the digital monitor begins by displaying the boot sequence, but then the signal is lost as soon as the screen stops the display of the progress (in low resolution) bar.

  I spent an hour on the phone to support Friday, and he made me nowhere.
  They finished by saying that he should never have worked! So what is the DVI port because then?

  Any ideas?

  David

  Connect your monitor directly to your laptop and see if it is recognized and you can go through FN + F5 between the two views.
  If it works, then connect with port replicator, and then try again.

  It's probably best if you reinstall display drivers. Maybe there are new too on the download page.

• Portege R500 - anyone using the DVI Port Replicator II on WIndows 7 Beta?

  Hello
  I'm using the beta version of WIndows 7 on my R500 and runnig it's just well except the DVI Port (on the Port Replicator II Slim).
  I have installed this software Fingreprint, battery bluetooth (which are recommended as a solution by the Action Center) and the 'TOSHIBA value added together"which adds the management software of power supply, control over the 2 hardware buttons and gives the FN menu to the screen to control the functions FN1-9.
  I think I can say it's definatively a driver problem, because if I start the R500, the windows loading screen appears on my screen, but when he switches to the desktop, the external screen turns off and the desktop on the screen of the laptop. Also, no chance to activate via FN + F5.
  I tried with the driver Windows 7 buildin, the latest driver from intel (15.8.3) and the vista driver provided by toshiba (7.14.10.1244), but none of them work: (unlucky
  BTW: the vga output works, but only UNdocked :(
  Does anyone have a solution or a tip what to do or try?

  Hello!

  First of all, I have to say that Windows 7 Beta is as its name the indicates that a beta so there might be some problems and it s not sure that everything works fine with Windows 7 Beta.

  Your problem: you see the second monitor in the display settings? There you can active it and mark the option extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.

  Lastly but not the least you should do an update of the BIOS if you have n t the latest version.

  Good bye

• What is operation temperature of the processor on your Portege R500?

  I have a laptop Portege R500 in series with processor U7600 and would * like to know what other users average operating temperature is for normal office use * i.e. Word processing, watching DVD/youtube, surfing the net, etc.

  I ask because I recently bought a used dock (port replicator ii) and also upgraded the OS on the laptop. It seems to me that there may be a problem, because under heavy use (compilation of software) performance appears to deteriorate on the machine - only solution seems to be turning the device off and leave it for a few minutes.
  Even when I don't have something heavy - such as typing this message, the CPU temperature lingers in the 1980s high (Celsius).

  I've seen on the forums that other people have had on this model of laptop overheating problems. My machine is about three and a half years of age. I opened and cleaned the fan in the air compressed and checked that it actually turns when turned on. However, I don't think a lot of air if I put my hand next to the exhaust, when turned on.

  Is someone can confirm if the exhaust is supposed to s u c k or expel air? Can you confirm your time average CPU? Anyone having problems with dock causing overheating?

  Thanks in advance!

  Can you please tell us what OS you use and what application you use to check the temperature of the processor?

• Portege R500: unable to connect the remote DVI monitor via Dynadock

  Hello

  I just connected Dynadock (DVI) with my Portege R500. The cell would be supported - according to Toshiba - but my experience confirms that Dynadock is not able to access the DVI ports. This implies, that Dynadock is nothing more than the USB HUB.

  My setup: Vista 32 company b (CZE edition), the latest patches, Toshiba R500.

  Software: latest dynadock software 2.3 c.

  Symptom: I can't connect to the remote DVI monitor via the dynadock, there are only two external panels with 800 x 600, but Vista does not allow me to choose.

  More information: software Dynadock requires to run without Microsoft Defender, otherwise it blocks the service: DisplayLinkService; file:C:\Program Files\DisplayLink base Software\DisplayLinkService.exe
  If you turn off the MSDef, the "error 2738" message appears when you connect the dynadock and when Vista tries to install a missing drivers for you.
  Yes, I know the VBS question and the problem is not caused by VisualBasic - VBS "Hello World" runs.

  If you think always, Toshiba Dynadock is compatible with Toshiba R500, then press Fn + F5 and look at your logs and you should find something like:
  In English: igfxext.exe throws an exception 0xc000000d, offset 0x0000f9f8.

  I look forward to the comments, advice etc. If you are able to transmit this bug report to a responsible engineer, do please.

  Hello Leo

  As far as I know, Toshiba has not designed for laptops models own only Dynadock and it can be used on every laptop or fixed. Because of this, I think that this statement about model of care is not so important for this problem.

  Toshiba provides devices and software. To connect using the USB port, and these ports must each computer or laptop. I hope that you have installed the software by following the on-screen instructions (device of should not be connected to the start-up of the plant).

  Is your Portege docked the host or you have connected Dynadock directly in Portege s USB port?

• Re: Portege R500-125 - Vodafone 3 G SIM card - what to do!

  I recently bought a Portege R500 125. It is size excellent performance wise, wise, specs, weight, etc. But the most important feature for me was the 3G feature.

  Opening the box and instructions (guia rapido) there was no mention about the card 3 G slot at all, I got a quick glance around the laptop and could not find shelter. Then, I wondered if I had indeed bought the laptop, looked good the box and he defeinitely said 3G.

  So I came to the forum support and picked up a thread saying that the SIM card slot was behind the battery in the range Portege and Tecra. Hey presto, he was there. I thought, excellent put SIM card in and run the mobliink software. I started the mobilink software and he said Vodafone UK on the interface graph of the application user. Click on connect and it would start saying "connection" and then would just go back to "Ready".

  Next step was to call the Toshiba support, they told me that I had to download the update of the Novatel Wireless of the download site VER 10.9 driver I think. In addition, they said that YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE MOBILINK SOFTWARE TO CONNECT! I was told to use the Vodafone VISTA software to connect. Thus obtained on the Vodafone site and downloaded the 9.3.0 software, also reviewed the read me document (do not usually do this and guess what he mentioned that it supports Novatel V10.9), so I was well on my way, I thought! Not yet!

  Downloaded the Novatel Wireless driver and then install the Vodafone software. Pulled up the Vodafone software and he said "mobile deveice is detected" and that's all. It does not search for networks. So I thought lets try one more thing. I removed the SIM card from the laptop and put the SIM card in the original PC card. Once I put the PC data card in, it installed some drivers and then he said that it has been installed successfully. Then the times of crisis! , launcehed the Vodafone software and hey presto, we have a signal and a connection! SUCCESS.

  Now for the acid test. Put the SIM card in the laptop launched the software, the first message on the screen - 'mobile device detected' then 'search network', then to the last 'Vodafone 3 G', you press the button connect and we had a connection.

  It seemed a long drawn from the process, but arrived in the end. I think using the data card, it installs several structural factors that Vodafone and Portege software must have to operate successfully. I think it would be the same approach for the 3G SIM card Vodafone not only.
  _In summary_

  * Update of Novatel Wireless Drivers (V10.9) Portege downloads
  To install the Vodafone Vodafone (V9.3.0) Vista driver. co.UK
  * Insert data with 3G SIM card (wait drivers are installed and message that says "drivers installed successfully")
  Launch of software Vodafone and connect - wait for a successful connection
  * Remove the SIM and data card
  * Install the SIM card in the Portege (behind the battery, then lock it in position)
  Launch of Vodafone software and connect (DO NOT USE MOBILINK)

  I hope this helps.

  Wow. That s a great statement!
  Thanks for posting here in our small community ;)

• Portege R500: Slim Port Replicator II - headphones not working not

  Hello

  I have gor Portege R500 with Vista preinstalled Enterprise.
  It's maybe just me in dense (!) but I can't get the headphone jack to work when it is in the Replicator (and the Replicator does not have such a plug).
  The headphone jack works well when it is off the Replicator and the speakers connected it work very well also...

  I have played with the settings in vista and still can't make it work - any ideas?

  You must first check the Toshiba drivers for the last sounddrivers download page. Download and check if the problem occurs again. If not, everything is OK, but if not then come back and we'll talk more about your problem.

• Can Portege R500 - I use the Fn + F5 on the keyboard?

  On the laptop keyboard, you can use Fn + F5 to switch the video output to the screen of the laptop to one to connect to the outside.
  Is there a button that you can use with a USB keyboard connected to the laptop which would have the same effect as Fn + F5?

  We have a problem with one of our Portege R500.
  When the laptop is docked in the port replicator, we have a desktop extended on two screens - a 22 "on DVI and a 17" on VGA screen.
  When the user takes the laptop away and uses that off the port replicator, the display returns to the screen on the screen of the laptop so this means what they re - anchor their laptop in the port replicator, they have no display on a screen.

  The work around is to open the laptop, press Fn + F5, close the laptop, connect and set the view registered software intel.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you
  Steven

  Hello

  Message describe you exactly how the switch of the display function.
  Everything is OK.

  If you ask for FN + F5 function on the external keyboard so I must say that, as much as I know this FN feature is not available if the external keyboard does not support the FN keys.

  But you can also view the Mobile Extension of Toshiba (if you are using Win XP).
  In Mobile Extension-> display tab service change, you can activate the display changes service and could check how the display changes after the connection and disconnection of the R500.

• Portege R500 Toshiba 19AV505D TV LCD connection

  I want to connect my Portege R500 laptop to a Toshiba 19AV505D LCD TV.

  I tried to use a HDMI VGA cable and change the screen resolution of 800 x 600 and 16-bit color, but it does not recognize the tv.
  Any ideas?

  Device manual says use a DVI cable to HDMI and I tried this first with a VGA Converter (as there is no socket DVI on the R500) but that didn't work either.
  Would be a SCART to VGA cable work?

  What VGA-> HDMI adapter are you using?

  What version HDMI support?

  Maybe the TV requires HDMI v1.2 or v1.3 (see user manual)
