Qosmio G30 - black screen on external monitor

Qosmio G30 (PQG32E) under Vista Home Premium, driver NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, 7.15.10.9813

I can't get a picture on a monitor external (I tried two different monitors). More precisely:

"Windows Mobility Center" will recognize that a monitor is connected
"NVIDIA Control Panel - Display Change Configuration" will recognize the external monitor ('Select poster that you want to use' shows 'Display of the laptop + Sony SDM-HS73', which is the monitor plugged in ext)
but no matter what configuration I try using Fn + F5 or change of display Configuration, I can't do anything but a black (backlight) display on the external monitor.

The monitor is receiving a video signal correctly: when he is off in laptop only the setting Fn + F5, it displays a warning 'no signal', but when turned on again I just get black.

I tried to change the resolution for the external monitor settings. They exactly match the native resolution of the monitor. Still nothing.
I tried 'Clone' and 'Dual View' mode.
Tried various different orders to turn on the computer laptop and monitor, Plug and unplug the device, etc.

Having installed the latest driver for the Toshiba (see above) site. Have NOT tried to install any other driver from NVIDIA site, as she warns to use Toshiba - but that's worth a try?

The clean laptop screen and all other aspects of the video are very good.

It worked ok in the past (I think that before I did the upgrade to Vista when it was still on XP).
Should I just wait for another update of Toshiba driver and maybe Vista SP1?

I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, because the monitor is recognized etc...

What port you used?
The (analog) external monitor port or the output port D-video?

View as far as I know that if you used the external monitor (analog) port, then you should choose analog in the nVidia-> current view

Then, you can use the FN + F5 key to switch between the two views.

  • Qosmio G30 - black screen on startup

    Hello

    Having problems with my G30 at startup. I was watching TV using the media library (by pressing the shortcut of the TV next to the power button), but when I tried to reboot the system (by pressing the power button) all I get is a black screen! I hear the sounds of start and the hard disk icon flashes but I don't see anything. Suggestions welcome!

    Hello

    Have you tried to connect the laptop to the external monitor to check if something appears on the second screen?
    I think that you should do this. In addition, you can try to use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between the two views.

    If this is not enough and you still won't be able to see anything, I assume that there is a serious hardware problem.

    In this case you should always contact the ASP in your country because in my opinion the simply, common laptop user would not be able to know what's exactly wrong because of the lack of experience and the necessary tools.

    Good luck

    Hello

    I have several question for you:

    -What system was installed before? Windows Vista?
    -where you have downloaded the display driver? On the Toshiba site?
    -You can find all the necessary drivers in the section download the drivers on the Toshiba site-> http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
    Simply choose XP MCE as an operating system, the drivers are the same as XPPro/XP

  • Satellite A500 - 14 k black screen internal - external monitor is ok

    Hello

    I have some problems with my computer screen laptop toshiba satellite A500 - 14 k (p / n: PSAM3E - 02Q008FR)

    Initially, the display on the screen was blurry and not stable. I had to tilt the screen to get a picture.
    But recently, I have no display at all on the laptop screen.

    However, the display is on an external source using the VGA or HDMI output. I think that the problem is not in the motherboard or graphics card, but maybe in the screen, the lcd inverter or the video cable LVDS.

    Is my correct deduction or not?

    First I'll change the cable of the LCD, but I do find the model for my laptop (dc02000ud00 p/n K000080540) at a reasonable price.

    I checked on ebay and I want to know if the cable of the LCD for toshiba satellite A505 might fit my laptop as this product

    http://CGI.eBay.fr/Toshiba-A500-A505-video-cable-6017B0201901-V000190070-/120554876390

    It is said that the cable is for satellite A500 A505 their American model. Do you think this could be compatible with my french model?

    Another issue is on the cover of RAM. I lost mine and I would like to know the reference of a new (product number)?

    The shape is like on the Toshiba PC Satellite maintenance manual I found on this site (see page 25 of the manual)

    http://Tim.ID.au/laptops/Toshiba/Satellite%20a500%20PRO%20a500.PDF

    Thank you for your answers

    > However, the view is of course an external source using the VGA or HDMI output. I think that the problem is not in the motherboard or graphics card, but maybe in the screen, the lcd inverter or the video cable, LVDS
    > Is my correct deduction or not?

    I agree with you it s not related to the graphics chip on the motherboard.
    There must be something wrong with the LCD display or a tiny part as FL inverter or similar

    In your case, I recommend you ask the authorized Toshiba partner in your country for compatible parts.
    In this case, you are always on the right side and can be 100% sure that ordered parts would be fully compatible.

  • Compaq presario cq42 screen becomes black when the external monitor is unplugged

    Compaq presario cq42-137tu running windows 7 32 bit.

    I've been using a connected external display on the vga port and now every time I disconnect the monitor and restart the laptop the laptop LCD screen will display the original message of compaq and the black windows boot screen with the logo but then turns off. If I reconnect the extrnal monitor it will work fine (even if the external monitor is turned off)

    The screen of the laptop works fine without the external monitor connected in safe mode.

    I used both the HP support and the setting in the display panel to select single monitor and set the display on the screen of the laptop, but every time that the external monitor is not connected the screen turns off. The external screen does not need to be turned on, just to connect to the laptop monitor work. I also tried to download the graphics driver and put it back.

    If your laptop is a ComPaq base model then there is the (built-in) Intel UMA / GMA 4500 M - GL40 chipset with video memory sharing and you should consider downloading and installing the driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

  • Qosmio G30 white screen when you start Windows XP

    Hi everyone - first time poster here!

    Today I turned on my Qosmio Toshiba G30 as I normally do, except that this time, the screen remained blank. Normally, the start of Qosmio screen appears with the music of Qosmio, but only Qosmio music out... no image on the screen! The computer continues to boot properly, but nothing has been posted.

    I panicked and I thought I'd need to buy a new computer...

    While I was on the phone with a friend to a support, I pressed the "TV Out" button (found in the upper right corner). That's it - the screen turned on, but all my icons have been reorganized.

    I tried to reinstall the display driver, but this is still the case every time that I reboot. The problem occurs not when putting the computer to sleep and look upwards again.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Thank you...

    Hello

    Check if the video output has not been set for external monitor or TV.
    You can change this by using the FN + F5 key combination.

    I also recommend to connect an external monitor to the laptop.
    Maybe you have defined somehow (accidentally) the external display as the primary display?  :|

    However, you are using Win XP as I m wrong not the laptop has been pre-installed with Vista. (is it true?)
    Maybe you should take a recovery disk Toshiba and must be reinstalled the self-image of Toshiba.

  • Satellite U500 - black edges on external monitor

    Hello

    I have problems with the HDMI to the TV connection.
    FULL HD resolution is 42 "FULL HD TV about 4 cm of black borders all around the display.
    I tried with 3 different HDMI cables, 2 different FULL HD TV and a LCD display, but were all of the black edges. Black borders will appear when you start computer (to the first screen Toshiba and BIOS too).
    With the same cables and monitors but other laptop's picture with no edges.

    When I tried with one HDMI (stl. U500) who have had on the another DVI output (screen LCD FULL HD) side has been the picture without black edges. With normal VGA - VGA cable is FULL HD photo also without edges.
    Where could be a problem?
    The system is Windows 7 64 bit with the latest ATI display driver and the latest version of the BIOS (2.20).

    Greetings

    Hi Michael,

    I m not a Satellite U500 owner but I guess there must be something wrong with the settings. I've never had a problem with the HDMI connection on my external monitor or TV. It s still works fine.

    In any case, what screen resolution you are using the external monitor? You must use the native screen resolution on external monitor. Then, you should be able to use the full screen here.

  • Qosmio X 300-problem of external monitor

    Hi all!

    I am the proud owner of a 300-157 x, but I have a problem. I would use my laptop as a desktop workstation and use an external VGA monitor to the output.
    Everything is fine when the operating system (Vista or Ubuntu) is responsible, but I can't figure out how to make the external monitor to view BIOS and POST messages to completely get rid of the internal display.

    Any clue?

    >... I can't understand how the external monitor to view BIOS and POST messages to completely get rid of the internal display.
    AFAIK this option doesn't exist. In General, computer laptop Qosmio is designed as a multimedia mobile gear and games. Of course you can use it with external screen or a TV, but I think that it is not designed to be desktop replacement. For example, professional laptop computers Tecra and Portege that can be used with a docking station to have multiply and different options for use with external display.

    I had X 300 but I ve never used it with external monitor so I can't say with certainty how it works but if I m remembering well this option to disable the laptop computer's display is not available.

    Every time when you want to use your laptop as a desktop replacement you should open it, start it, wait that the OS is fully charged, switch to the external display (FN + F5), and then close the cover.
    I know it's a little annoying, but, more or less, in 2 minutes, you can use your laptop as a desktop replacement, especially if you use an external wireless keyboard.

  • How to activate the resolution wide screen to external monitor on Equium A60?

    Hello

    I had an Equium A60 with an ATI Radion 7000 mobility grahpics chip in it. Earlier the LCD is dead and has decided to use an external monitor rather than replace it. However, the external monitor is a monitor 22 '' widescreen computer does not provide a display suitable for resolution. Is it possible to update the graphics driver to provide the wide screen formats. I looked on the toshiba updates, but there is nothing new there, and ATI are not ready to support offer it on a laptop.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    You can't choose your preferred resolution because the graphics driver does not support.
    Eventually the 3rd party driver support your favorite display resolution, but to be honest I wouldn't use these drivers because it could cause serious difficulties for laptop.
    The point is that these 3 third-party drivers are untested and not certified by Toshiba.
    Therefore, the use is at your own risk.

    Good bye

  • Qosmio G30 - blue screen of death

    recently I had this error on a blue screen when starting my pc (I can't go in either safe mode) so I decided to start from the cd and repair the system, but the problem is I can't boot from the cd or a port USB of my laptop Qosmio g30... the problem is that I tested the cd on my friends pc and it booted from it mine shows the following message
    "During initialization and the link...".

    PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable
    "PXE - MOF: exit Intel Boot Agent.

    I really need help here and I don't like the data on my c drive, so if there is no solution I would appreciate

    Thanks in advance.

    Which CD you want to use for BONE repair?

    Akuma is right. This message occurs if the laptop can not boot from optical disc or HARD disk drive. Then automatically seek next boot device and it's LAN. This message is typical for the start of LAN (cable not connected).

  • Qosmio G30 - 102 screen completely disappeared

    I read a lot of messages about the green lines, white spot, and blue screens. However my laptop screen has taken a step beyond that and stopped working!

    I have a Qosmio G30 102. I was playing a game (use high amounts of graphics) when suddenly the screen went. I restarted the computer, but it came with the different colors of the Rainbow (green lines, would change to a completely white screen). The problem was once windows starts to load than the screen turns off. I used the function keys to review the settings of the screen (if you want it to be double screen, connected to the LCD tv), but nothing would work.

    I decided to restart the laptop, but it now came with windows not stopped correctly and gave me the options to start the computer and had pixels all messed up (some letters were missing), windows, put in place would not work after the reboot because the screen turns off.

    So now, the laptop is just left with a blank screen. I can't install windows and my warranty is now sold out (ironically just 1 month ago: S)

    Any help would be appreciated!
