Problems with the external monitor W540 connection

Hi, maybe someone can help me. I'm trying to connect a W540 (no external dock) to an external monitor Dell.

I tried with two monitors, but none work.

Connected via VGA port on the side of the W540

(1) connected monitor and clogged up the resolution of the screen on laptop (lines icons tiny, black on each side of the screen). External monitor works fine. When unplugged, it went back to the previous screen resolution.

(2) laptop registered resolution and icon size of the screen as a profile.

(3) external monitor connected right click options graphics Intel, insured was custom display, main display plus external monitor, then had to go in a re - click on the name of the saved profile.

(4) this worked ok until the next day, when turned on laptop and a blue screen. Managed to get this back hard by restarting and completed the steps in N3

(5) cannot get the Nvidia Control Panel to display anything else than the 3D options, even if it make the default value (instead of the Intel graphic card)

Can anyone offer some so that I can connect an external monitor without having to go through all this hassle every time? Why this affects the laptop so bad (and also, it runs very slowly after that)

Running Windows 8 (but with the interface of Windows 7)

Thank you very much

Thank you. A quick update, I contacted Lenovo, and they sent the updated bios drivers. I also uninstalled some software Canon MP Navigator and Lenovo EMC Discovery (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081844?tabName=Solutions). One or all of them seem to have solved the problem, including the slow start.

  • Tecra A10 - 1LL - connection with the external monitor

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop Tecra A10.

    When I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I have to manually switch the screens because external shows nothing. When I disconnect the monitor I have to pass the screens manually with FN + F5 because the internal display shows nothing.

    My old laptop (Tecra A9 (PTS52E-0E702NGR)) is the poster automatically whenever I connected or disconnected an external monitor.

    Anyone has an idea why the A10 light automatically as the old notebook? Maybe it's the only spot in the preferences of the display driver that I don't see right now. :-)

    Hi SilverWizard,

    What happens if you try to switch on the external monitor using the options of display driver, or that this combination of buttons don t work?

    As wrote Al - eX you must update tools from Toshiba to get the keys FN working again. Everything can be downloaded here:

    It's working now?

  • Satellite P300 - display resolution incorrect if the external monitor is connected

    I wanted to use a monitor BENQ of WAP 2010 with my Satellite P300 laptop operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

    When I connect it, the display resolution changes to an unusable.
    I installed the latest ATI drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site. Max screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.

    Also, I can't set the correct resolution for the LCD display of the laptop more.

    How set up the screen, so that the monitor displays a clone of the LCD screen for laptop and find the correct resolution?

    Hello

    > Max monitor resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.
    Please understand that not all possible solutions are supported by a graphics card chip or a graphics card driver.
    If one of the parts mentioned would not support this resolution then you will not be able to choose and use the external monitor!

    In your case, I recommend the manual of your laptop.
    There you can find a list of available external resolutions and supported.

  • Anyone having problems with the new iPhone LTE connection 7 on Verizon?

    I am now on my iPhone second 7 with Verizon. I had four phones for me and my family. I have now had issues where I have no signal in the same areas where my signal allows to be strong. I can't solve the problem with the activation/deactivation of the airplane and then mode again in normal mode. My phone will rest with no signal for 5 minutes, then going to LTE with three bars. I also had the problem where I had only 1 x signal, while my son standing right next to me has LTE. And he had the same questions, where I'm on LTE and it gets no signal. I use to have LTE where I live and work all the time, now it's spotty at best. Apple has replaced me and my sons iPhones but not luck. Still do. Any ideas or an any other suffering?

    (1) go to settings/cell phone/cellular data Options/enable LTE and select ONLY the DATA. This seems to solve the problem (as a temporary solution) for most of the people affected by this problem. The bad part is your request might not be as clear (since they cannot use the highest LTE signals) and you can make calls and data at the same time. But it does not solve the issue.

    (2) there are rumors (but you didn't hear that from me that we only are not supposed to discuss beta software program Apple in this forum) that the new version of Apple Beta for iOS (which also includes an update of the software carrier Verizon to 26.0) seems to solve this problem. So, there's a light at the end of the tunnel.

  • Connection problem with the second monitor, macbook pro 2014, OSX El Capitan

    There are a few threads describing problems with two monitors, but I have not found a match.

    I like for the operating system ask login password once the lid is closed, no matter how much time has passed (even for a moment). Also, I work with a dual monitor. However, when my macbook is plugged into the monitor and I close the lid, the macbook don't disconnect but spends just primary monitors. Understand that this could be a feature and not a bug, I tried to unplug the monitor before closing the lid. But the OS seems not to realize that the monitor has been disconnected, and when I close the lid he didn't ask me for my password once that I reopen it. Does it also if I wait a bit (i.e. one minute) after disconnecting the monitor, but not if I wait a while (or 15 minutes), well that I've not enough highlighted how long is necessary so that it starts locking on my closing the lid. He does it with different monitors, so I doubt that it depends on the particular monitor. In both cases, I used the HDMI port.

    This is quite annoying, because I need to be able to disconnect safely in a short period of time, and I was not able to find a workaround on mine. Everyone knows this? Thank you for any help or advice.

  • HP Pavilion dv6-black screen only works with the external monitor

    I discovered that my screen was not turn on yesterday when I tried to turn on my laptop. Fortunately I was able to plug it into an external monitor with a VGA cable and I have a monitor in my office, but I can not really be restricted to my living room or office to use my laptop.  Y at - it easy fixes to this, or is my only option to take it to someone with experience that replace the monitor for me?

    Hello

    Given the external screen display there are so few opportunities...

    -Sun display-project is a flashlight on the screen and check if you can see the bottom - if background is visible while it is the backlight in the LCD screen that needs to be replaced.

    - Display dark: if it is completely black and nothing is visible when you Flash light on the screen, then it is due to the LCD screen itself might be a broken screen (a cable that connects to the motherboard screen) or could be inverter LCD.

    If the laptop is still under warranty so I recommend you call HP tech support and they will be able to get it fixed for you.

  • Problem with the resolution when you connect to a projector

    I regularly used my laptop connected to a projector via a cable VGA for PowerPoint and video clips view in Windows Media Player.   It is automatically detected and adjusted for different sizes of screen of the laptop screen (1366 x 768) and projector (1024 x 768) and projected with success.   Recently I connected the laptop to a second monitor - also 1024 x 768 - instead, and even once, it fits perfectly.

    It suddenly stopped setting for the resolution of the projector; When I go to the resolution of the screen, the option to set the resolution of the second screen is grayed out.   No matter if I use extend or duplicate, he insists that the two screens are 1366 x 768.   This has happened with two projectors, all two used to work properly.   I also tried different VGA cables.  The end result is that the image of the projector is hurry to tray.

    I can connect fine to the second monitor via the VGA port and sometimes with different resolutions for both screens.   I can also connect to a TV via an HDMI cable.   I can't try a HDMI cable for the spotlight as it is ceiling mounted, and the other is old and is not an HDMI connection.

    I checked the drivers and they seem to be up to date.

    My laptop is a Dell Latitude running Windows 7.   The graphics card is an Intel HD Graphics 3000.   I tried many suggestions already given on these forums without success.   The real puzzle is that it was working fine and nothing I can draw has changed except that I connected on the other monitor.

    Hi Tony,.

    Hi Rizwan

    Unfortunately, I do not have a restore point old enough until the problem occurred.   I have not found any that was relevant in hidden devices, but in normal Device Manager mode when I clicked on "monitor" it opened a "Generic PnP" entry even when there was no extra monitor or projector fixed.   When an additional monitor has been attached, there were two of these entries.   I disabled them both, and I found that I can now adjust the resolution of a second monitor to a different setting of the laptop screen.

    Thanks for your help.

  • Inspiron One 2320 - All In One No Image displayed. Works with the external monitor.

    System works properly when connected to an external monitor. I use it for this type. Built in touch screen does not display any image, but turns on and stays on. That's all just white. I took it to a guy from the local computer that has not been able to diagnose. He changed the LCD cable I think, he said. I have updated the video drivers.

    Is the monitor shot?

    If I need to replace the screen could I just buy a nontouch screen that is much more affordable and replace it with that?

    In fact, I give you a link to the manual in my last post, but had broken in this post then try this link.

    Instructions to remove the touch control panel, screen Assembly and then the display panel begins on page 105.

  • Problems with the program monitor for 20 to 90 seconds with project started in first CC2014 using CC2015

    I'm just finishing an important project for first Pro CC2015 and it tests my patience. Whenever I do an edit simple ripple and transitions program window to view side-by-side, CC2015 PP becomes somewhat insensitive for anywhere between 20 and 90 seconds. Sometimes it does not recover at all. When I say it's a bit insensitive, I mean I can always move clips, remove clips, or manipulate the clips in any way I want on the timeline. But the program monitor just sits on that same side-by-side view. The side-by-side never displayed the images while ripple editing is performed. The source window, audio mixer and lumetri litters all stop working. But they recover before the window of the program.

    This project was launched in 2014 CC and we should never have improved while in the middle of this project, but now it's too late to go back. It does this on two PCs at work and my PC at home. I started a new project, and no problem with changes to the ripple. Although there are minor, other performance issues, more generally I'm not happy about this day with first CC 2015. I also found a CC2014 project that will not export the correct proportions using CC2015, but just, we returned to the 2014 project to continue working on it.

    Number for ripple editing, eventually everything comes back and still works, but only once so far. Only once, however, my PC completely frozen and had to be returned. I built this PC at hand and never charge anything on what I have needed for my work. This is the first time that this PC has frozen more than 3 years that I used it. Sometimes, a program crashes, but never the entire system.

    Did anyone else out there having this problem?

    MY ADVICE: Finish the projects of CC2014 on CC2014! Stick with new projects with CC2015. or just hold off on upgrading.

    Hi Lisa,

    Disable "Composite overview for Trim" in the timeline view settings and see if that helps to run.

    Your Advisor not to switch versions of the programs in the middle of a project is the RIGHT HAND RULE of THUMB of video editing. + 1 for your advice.

    Thank you

  • Problems with the web interface of connection vcenter 5.1

    Guys,

    What don't understand me, I've set up a new virtual appliance version of vcenter test 5.1, I can connect just fine using vsphere client and console, but the web interface refuses to agree with the same identifiers. What is happening with this single sign? I really do not understand.

    You guys could help me please?

    I stumbled upon this same question.  5.1 with the search service is completely different than 5.0, this is why the others are not working.

    Here's what I did to solve the problem.  I turned on the regeneration of SSL certificate:

    1. Navigate to https://[IP]: 5480 and connect
    2. Go to the Admin tab and press the button "Toggle the setting of certification" until activated regeneration 'certificate' displays Yes
    3. Go to the network tab and change the host name.  This will trigger a regeneration of SSL (or you can change the ip address).  I don't know if change 'localhost' to something else helped, but it can't hurt.
    4. Restart the box (restart System tab button.)

    At this point, you can look at the start-up of the machine of vcenter console messages.  You will notice some messages about detection of a new hostname or IP and regenerate a new certificate.  You will see all the services to import it again SSL ceritifcates so.

    At the end of the reset, I was able to connect to the web client to vCenter!
