• Satellite P200 - external monitor

  Hi all

  I bought an external monitor (Samsung SyncMaster 2333HD) to expand one of my laptop (Toshiba Satellite P200 - 1 K 9, ATI Readon 2600HD).

  When the monitor is connected with VGA, all is well for the first two hours. Later, a message saying: 'the driver has stopped working and restarted' watch. Immediately after that, Vista restarts. When I connect the HDMI monitor, the image quality is very poor. I installed the latest drivers for the graphics card and the monitor.

  Any ideas?.

  Thank you

  Hello Nikola

  A friend of mine bought 23 external screen but not Samsung. He uses it with Satellite U400. Satellite U400 has HDMI port as your Satellite P200.
  He tested it with HDMI-HDMI cable and the picture was not so perfect.
  Later he bought a HDMI-DVI cable and the image on the external screen is now perfect. HDMI is connected to the computer laptop and DVI to display.

  If possible, try the same thing. I really hope that you will have a good result too.
  Please note that with this cable just video signal will be sent to the screen. For audio you need separate cable.

• Satellite C650 - external monitor turns on for about 2 seconds

  Hey

  I want to connect a digital diamond (I think Acer) external moniter for my Toshiba Satalite C650 and it lights up for about 2 seconds then black flshes again. I tried to lower the resolution and 12 pins cable is tight it flashes just black. He never does on my TV...

  Guys do you have an idea what could be wrong?

  Hello

  What cable connection/use exactly to connect the external monitor?

  I would recommend the first connection cable before you turn on both devices. Then turn on the external monitor first, and then for laptop. Normally it automatically detects the external display. If this isn't the case, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to move from a monitor.

• Satellite 5200 + external monitor

  I have a higher resolution monitor external 17 '' flat screen connected to my laptop and I really just want to know is possible to make it the "primary monitor? -This option is grayed out in the property control complete panel box.

  I can "extend my desktop to this monitor" and my external monitor becomes display number 2 with only the wallpaper, icons no windows is visible.

  If I deselect the option "extend my desktop to this monitor" both views becomes numbers 1, but then I can't use a higher resolution because I think that the external is really just a clone of the Mobile Panel?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  As far as I know it of not possible to set the external monitor as the primary monitor.
  In addition, if you use the extended desktop resolution of the screen is the same as on the screen of the laptop. Usually, you can change the screen resolution if the external monitor is defined as a second monitor. In this case, you must use the FN + F5 key combination to change the display devices.

• Satellite Pro6100 - external monitor not showing movies

  I searched but couldn't find anything related. I wanted to watch a movie through the external monitor port connected to a projector. I could see all the big screen except the movie itself.
  I checked the laptop screen and the film on this subject but it is not cloned - I just get the border of media player and the buttons but it shows only a black screen, not the film.

  I tried a friend's Tecra 9000 and it shows the film perfectly. What gives?
  Updated the BIOS and I have the latest drivers Toshiba provided and followed all the guides for TV out, monitor, cloning, setting resolution etc, just have not found the magic combination.

  > I checked the laptop screen and the film on this subject but it is not cloned - I just get the border of media player and the buttons but it shows only a black screen, not the film.
  The settings collection can be all problems as suggested by Akuma.
  In addition it is very important that you switch the display on external monitor first before you start the movie!

• External monitor closes on my Satellite A30

  Hello

  I have a problem with the Intel extreme graphics double display driver. Whenever I have attach an external monitor (projector, screen...), it works very well for a while and then quits. Usually, but not always, restart computer help (laptop Satellite A 30 404) for a period of time, i.e., to get a picture again.

  This laptop has been to Toshiba twice and each time a new motherboard was installed. I called the service Tech of the last week and I was the first to present such a problem. My guess is that there is something wrong with the display drivers, although I tried the (most recent) drivers on the intel.com site and they showed the same problem.
  In addition, these drivers have not the option of dual display clone the Toshiba version has.

  Anyone encountered this problem?

  Thank you

  LEEN

  Hello Leen

  It's really not easy to say what can be the problem. Drivers installed on your device are designed by Toshiba and you should use just them and not a driver provided by the producer of the graphic card.

  Unfortunately, I am without proper explanation, but in my opinion, you should backup your data and preinstall the unit with recovery CD. On this way the unit will be clean installed and there should not be any problem. Recovery CD images are tested and avoid all wrong driver.

  If you try it please let me know what happens after the reinstallation of the operating system.

  By the way: how long is the cable between the laptop and data projector?

  Good luck!

• Satellite A30 714: external monitor displays in 640 x 480 only

  I am trying to connect to an external LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1280 x 1024. When I plugged the screen plug-and-play Windows XP installed, now when I switch to the screen of the laptop to this screen (or running dual screen) it will be the only display at 640 x 480 and does all of the options in the graphic properties to change the resolution.
  But, if I use the external display as extended desktop, then I'm able to put any resolution I want upward and above 1280 x 1024.
  I am running XP Home and I have installed the latest graphics drivers from Toshiba.

  Can anyone offer advice please?

  Hi Derek

  It's very strange. If the correct driver is pre-installed to avoid any problems. If you want to use just external monitor using FN + F5 to change the Office externally and then change the resolution (the number of screen 1 must be enabled).

• Satellite Pro U200 - projector as external monitor

  I try to connect a projector as external monitor. I use a HDMI adapter, VGA, because the entry in the projector.

  If I use an old laptop, it works OK.
  If I use my Satellite Pro U200, Modelo PLUA1E-02301RSP, the display shows only the initial screen,

  I mean the landscape with the TOSHIBA logo, but it doesn't change.
  If, for example, I look at some photos as I have both monitors running, the portable computer I see the photo, but the projector doesn't change, it shows only the landscape and logo.

  What can I do?

  Thank you and best regards,

  Vicente

  I put t know if I understand you right but perhaps extended desktop enabled. You must disable this option in screen resolution settings.

  Can move you the open Office Windows laptops to the pic you is on the projector?

• Satellite Pro S300 - cannot extend the desktop to an external monitor

  Hello
  I have a Satellite Pro S300 and it won't extend the desktop to an external monitor / projector, but it will clone the desktop?

  so far I have tried:
  2 instructors and 1 projector all do the same thing, will clone but not extend.
  Reinstall the latest drivers to display on the Toshiba site.
  Reinstall the latest drivers of change on the Toshiba site.

  But nothing worked, I even checked my S300 colleagues to make sure that I use the same parameters and their (of 2 other s300) extend and clone office.

  Has anyone seen this before and how solve you the problem?

  Paul

  Did you first remove the old driver before you install the new driver? If this is not the case, try to reinstall the driver again. Therefore, to remove the old driver, restart the computer, use CCleaner to clean the registry and install the new version you can find on the Toshiba site.

  More I would try updating the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

  I hope it works for you.

• External monitor gives strange aspect ration with Satellite P20 XP

  I have a P20-552 (PSP26E-025E9-S4), who is four years and works well with XP Home SP3. For more screen space while editing video I recently bought an external monitor - an Acer X193w. It shows everything what is shown crashed down a little bit, that is to say, but it should show., a circle has a distinctive oval to it.

  It is plugged into my Toshiba with analog cable and the only resolutions that it will give me are 1280 x 1024, 1024 x 768 and 800 x 600 which none do actually correspond to the 1440 x 900 on my Toshiba.

  I tried all the settings that I could find, made sure my BIOS and nVidia are up-to-date and I exchanged a few e-mails with Acer support on the subject. Their support staff is now leading me round in a circle ("it is plug and play," "oh yes, that's sounds wrong", "here is the pilot", "no, we don't give installation instructions" and so on) and still no joy. The screen plug and play perfectly with an another Vista laptop that I have, but I really like to use with my Toshiba faithful.

  Suggestions, please?

  Thank you, Brian.

  Hello Brian

  Sorry, but I believe that there is not a lot, you can do it. It is 19 wide TFT screen and your laptop s video card does not offer good resolution for it. Display modes Satellite P20 cannot offer the resolution 1440 x 900 for external displays.

  * All you can do is try to change the driver display, but on your own risk.*

• Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

  Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
  Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
  Have you tried the following:
  Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
  It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
  It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
  I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
  I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
  I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
  I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
  I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  > It turns on but not at all to see clear
  This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

  It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

  In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro A60: External monitor Shimmers

  I use an A60 Pro of the Satellite with a second screen (tft) as a dual display configuration. There is a very sensitive landscape shimmer that moves on the screen when viewing images or the dark backgrounds on the second monitor.

  I tried the monitor on another machine and it is very good, so I can assume there is a problem with the laptop or the ATI graphics card.

  If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful, because it gives me a headache (literally!).

  Looks like you need to change the frequency (refresh rate) with the display settings screen. The internal monitor has a 60 Hz frequency (refresh rate), more external monitors are 80 Hz or 100 Hz. Now if you have the wrong settings of the external monitor will refresh at the same pace as internally, which gives a brilliant image. You must go to the display settings, select the 2nd monitor, goto advanced settings, and then monitor and change the refresh rate to say 100 Hz, try this.

  I hope your problem

• Satellite Pro A120: How to set a resolution of 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050 on external monitor

  Hello

  I'm considering buying an external to use with my Satellite Pro A120 monitor. The laptop has a Mobile Intel 945GM chipset and it doesn't seem as if I can choose the resolution that I would need a widescreen (1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050), with its menu of graphic properties.

  Is it possible to put one of these resolutions so that I could use an external display, or is simply not an option?

  The drivers supplied with the monitor would be likely to help him?

  Hello Thom

  Unfortunately when you have factory settings you probably won't be able to use these resolutions. I put t know if it's because of preinstalled driver or limitation technique graphics card.

  You can try to install the driver from the manufacturer of the graphics card and see if it will work (Intel or ATI). Just testing everything.
