Re: Satellite Z830 Ultrabook - blurred image on the vga output

Hello

I have a ultrabook Z830 i5 with 6 GB of ram. I run it on a double screen when I'm at work (computer laptop screen more VGA monitor). However, the VGA display is extremely poor and very "blurry".

I checked the graphics card intel card drivers and all seems up-to-date (correct driver version), I tested the monitor with other laptops and everything seems fine. I also checked to make sure that the refresh rate is successfully set.

On thing that I noticed is that since I rebuilt the laptop (to get rid of bloatware and maximize ssd space) the graphic score rose from 5.4 to 5.0. I wonder if I've left out a Toshiba key utility that provides the best VGA output?

Appreciate any help!

Thank you

Hello

In your case, I recommend you the native resolution of the external monitor and use this native resolution for external monitor. The use of wrong or not native resolution can cause blurry screen outings.

Of course you should also test this with different external monitors

  • Laptop HP 2000: portable HP 2000 passes not to the VGA output video

    Have used my laptop HP 2000 several times to connect to a TV screen using the VGA output jack and connect it to the VGA of my big screen input.  Now, for some reason, there is no video output on the big screen, I tried 3 different cords (VGA VGA) and get nothing on two and on the third, I get a video transfer but it flashes and both on the screen of the laptop and my big screen with only about 1/2 of a photo showing both.  When he does this, I tried the repositioning of the output on the computer output jack and he changed the picture a bit, but could never make it work.  Any ideas?

    Hi @badnarc,

    Thank you for visiting the Forums HP's Support and welcome. I looked into your problem on your laptop HP 2000 and connect a monitor or TV with a VGA cable. Here is a link to show you how do I connect a monitor. The last link in this document would be more useful.

    I'd be happy to help you if necessary. How can I find my model number or product number?

    Hope this helps you.

  • Satellite Z830-10J battery discharge when the system is shut down

    My new Toshiba Satellite Z830 10J ultrabook with Win7 64 bit. all updates, works fine and shows no anomaly, there is however a strange exception.

    When the battery is completely charded and I 'pull the plug', the system runs on the battery for sometimes more than 5 hours, so I guess that the cycle of the battery is ok.

    When the battery is now fully charged again and I SHUT down the system and not using it for a few days.
    Then the battery is completely DISCHARGED to 0%, and the system does not start, until I plug.

    This phenomenon occurs in less than a week. So: loading of the batrery 100%, turn the system off, pull the plug, want to re - use the system after 7 days, yields 0% battery charge.

    Is there a specific reason for this?

    > It appears that one of the BIOS settings (disabling the sleep_and_charge or disable WOL) solved the problem

    Great! Thanks for the comments!

  • Satellite A100-410 - no image on the internal display

    Dear readers, (also strange that Toshiba sells also in the Netherlands, and I do not use the Dutch language)

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-410
    I have problems after one year only (after warranty) where to plug an external monitor.
    The laptop displays not its own screen, without external screen is lighter, it starts but no picture.
    I did it with Fn + F5 but nothing

    Controlled parameters but no error detected.
    It would be nice if someone could send an email with a url so that the old setting back.
    It's a Windows XP MCE and the mechanic that all abducted and put Vista on.

    At the beginning, a lot of problems, but it was under warranty and after that install on a clean disk Vista had no problem just no image on the notebook and which isn't difficult if you use him in the hospital.

    So I hope that someone can send an email with a solution.

    Thank you
    Seggelinck

    (> also strange that Toshiba sells also in the Netherlands, and I do not use the Dutch language)

    Toshiba selling own products around the world... everyone here validate in the own language? Definitely bad idea...

    However, your question;
    Just to clarify your question; the internal screen does not work, but you can all see if you connect to the laptop to the external monitor. Is this good?

    Well, I doubt that this could be a software issue... maybe the internal screen is defective.
    What do you thing about this idea?

    Usually, you should see the start screen for Toshiba at the beginning of the startup procedure. If this screen is not visible on the screen of the laptop computers, so I guess that this problem could be linked to the failure of the display.

  • Satellite C660-2F7 - external display on TV via the VGA output

    Hello

    I try to view my laptop on an external device, but do not know if my laptop supports what I am trying to do. If anyone knows if I can do that or not, or if there is a work around, I would be very happy.
    I have a standard digital TV that I am trying to use it as an external display. I use the VGA out port on my C660 2f7.

    I have a VGA-to-AV/S-Video Converter (i.e. vga converts to yellow and S-video cables av red and black) and all ports are connected to the TV via a cable S-video to S-video and AV-to-AV cable. But the computer does not seem dectet anything. I tried 'Connect to a projector' and "Connect to an external device" on the Control Panel, as well as the equivielent keys shortcut, "duplicate them" and "extend". On 'Change the appearance of your displays' I put display to VGA. On "Graphics properties" Intel > General settings > display, I have only options "monitor" and "integrated display.

    And under "Graphics properties" > monitor/tv settings it says "monitor/tv settings are not supported." Does this mean that I can't do what I'm doing? and that my laptop only supports computer monitors and external display? If so, is there no work around that I can use with this or not?

    Thanks in advance.

    Your TV SCART port?
    In the past I ve tested some combinations using port s-video on my old laptop.

    What you can try is to find the cable VGA to SCART and check if it will help.

    Unfortunately, it's a little complicated.

  • Satellite M30 - LCD white but the VGA output is ok

    Hello

    I have a Satalite M30-832, I got second hand. There is no output LCD, alough the lites back works.
    VGA output connector works very well.
    I reinstalled the video drivers and I have replaced the LCD screen, but still no joy.

    My question is, if anyone can help,

    1: what is a hardware (graphics chip) or a software problem.

    2: Diagnistic tools are there on the disc support

    Scarub

    Hi Simon

    I have a question;
    You said that your VGA port is ok.
    You you connected the external monitor that laptop and have you checked if you can switch the display to the external monitor?
    Please check if your external monitor works fine and if something appears on the second screen.

    This procedure would be useful to know what's exactly wrong with your laptop.
    If you would be able to connect the external monitor to the computer and the external monitor works then your graphics card is not faulty and the problem could be related to a defective laptop internal TFT screen.

  • Satellite L650: Created new Image but the FN buttons do not work

    In the past, I created the image of my good installation with all updates and my installed programs.
    After that once again L650 began to play up, I rebooted it and now my fn keys do not work and Health monitor does not start, but displays an error message "unable to get the type of bios.

    Don't know what else does not work here.
    RELOADED according to factory instructions and everything is OK, but now I have to reinstall my programs and updates.
    What a pain. Anyone know why "my image" has problems?

    This machine had 2 hard drives replaced, has graphic problems with some 3d foot crossings and freezes at the first chance with the mouse not working not and then the black screen. Still under guarantee.
    What nonsense.

    I'll charge as directed by the plant and see when it will pack up again so I can get it repair.
    Unfortunately, problems are random and difficult to prove.
    This is computer/laptop worst I've ever had - very disappointed.

    Hello

    Fn keys are controlled by VAP and Flash memory card Support utility.

    In most cases, it allows to restart Flash Cards Support Utility tool.

    You can find it in the * all programs-> Toshiba-> restart Flash Card Support *.

    If this does not work, a reinstallation of VAP and Flash memory card Support utility should work

    Hi all

    When I start my computer I get a yellow exclamation at the bottom right saying hardware not found: VGA (video controller).

    Toshiba Satellite Pro M10
    Windows XP

    Pentium clocked at 1.3 GHz
    I also have a nVIDIA sticker on my laptop that I find to do with the video play stuff

  • the image to the final output size print

    Hello forumers.

    Ive been asked to do a poster A2 size 594 x 420 mm 300 dpi

    but when I enter those dimenstions my pc slows down unfortunately.

    What is the best way to get better performance?

    Thank you.

    Seems to me that your PC can be the source of the problem. Can you put the specifications, CPU, memory etc. While the size of the A2 (approximately 23.4 x 16.5 in French) - easier for me to work in inches is a good size, it's about the same size that a file directly from the D800 and without layers must be about 200 MB. While I have a pretty good system (16 GB of memory with a core i7) I can easily manage the sizes of files 5 x this size.

    I also have an old XP machine with 4 GB memory in the course of running CS3 that can, well a bit slow, to easily manage the files of 400 MB

    While 300 dpi will give a good impression, if you resampled to somewhere between 200-240 DPI, you will always get a decent print and reduce the size of the file. With a print at 300 ppi to 200 MB A2 format, resample to 240 ppi would bring the size of the file down to ~ 130 MB and 200 ppi would bring the size of the file down to ~ 92 MB

  • Satellite Z830 - 11 H, no options in the Recovery Wizard (seed F8 menu).

    Hello!

    I am trying to restore my Satellite Z830 - 11 H parameters using the F8 menu before starting.

    However, when I try to click on the Toshiba Recovery Wizard I get the window where I should be able to choose which process I want to (software factory or remove disk recovery) but instead, I have no choice.

    It's just empty. Do you have anyone encountered this problem before?
    If you have other strategies to restore factory settings, I will be happy!

    Did you change the HARD drive or do you remove some recovery files, the files from the HARD drive in the past?

    Usually, you should be able to start the recovery disc HARD pressing F8, then choosing fix my computer-> Toshiba HDD recovery (last option)

  • Battery for Satellite Z830-10U

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Z830-10U, I LOVE & have had no problems with since I bought it 4 years ago. Just today, I get a message that there is a problem with the battery & I would like to replace it. He's dead now completely - while still working with the power supply

    I searched online and cannot find a replacement. I called support of Toshiba who said I need a battery 8-cell 3200 Altair - & gave me the number for "" Topaz"technical support". They are now closed for the (big) weekend! I did a search online & Duracell sell one for the Satellite Z830 (but does not mention the 10U bit) - & description = Satellite Z830 hand 14.8V battery 8-cell 3060mAh.
    Is it totally different than Altair 3200?
    I have no idea?

    Why I find it so difficult to find a replacement? The guys at Toshiba said they should not have been made obsolete the again, because it's not so old?

    Any ideas please? Thank you
    Sara.

    Hello

    The information that you got is just. your laptop uses 8CELL battery 3200_ALTAIRU.
    In my opinion you should not ask why you can not find it so easily.

    As you probably know, the manufacturers of mobile offers two types of batteries. Batteries that can be redeemed by the owner of the laptop. For these batteries, you can get the part number and order almost anywhere.

    Problem is that your computer has a specific design and battery is placed under the lid. To be honest you are not allowed to remove the cover on your own as this will void your warranty.

    Believe me, that the best option for you is to make the exchange of the battery with the help of the authorized service provider. It can't be so problematic for you to wait a few days and clarify all this with Toshiba service, right?

    Do not remove the bottom cover on your own. Battery itself is also fixed with several screws and connected to the motherboard with low battery connector. Small mistake and you can damage something. Let the technicians to do it for you.
