Satellite A300 - disapperars video if I close the lid

Hello

I have a Toshiba Satellite a300 PSAGCC - 06:019 and I'm watching movies h264. I am running Vista Home premium SP1 with the latest ATI drivers and catalyst control center. I use the KMPlayer, as well as of the x 64 Media Player Classic version (the latest versions that I could find).

The problem is when I close the lid to see the movie on my tv (via the HDMI port), the video disappears. The sound is not yet, but my TV goes out. When I open the lid of the computer, I can see the movie I'm playing on the laptop screen. This is not conducive to effective viewing!

Can you get it someone please let me know how can I fix?

Thank you in advance.

Hello

Hmm, laptop s display backlight is turned OFF when the lid is closed.
But I put t understand why this affects the output HDMI port.

You can check the settings of Vista power management.
There is an option called (left) choose closing the cover
Here, you should choose disable everything so nothing would happen when lid is closed

PS: Did you choose TV by using the FN + F5?
Please check if only one TV has been chosen.

    This happens automatically, starting again, the screen saying "windows does not stop properly, start windows normally" is apperanig.

    I suspected virus infection, I tried full scan with nod 32, essential microsoft, kaspesky - 1 by 1 (previous uninstall and install the new), but all the antivirus intremediately scan stopped due to this power off.

    Watch movie also stopped in the Middle, attempted to convert the movie file format also was arrested several times because of this problem of automatic disconnection.

    can anyone identify the problem? can you please give me the solution?

    Hello

    I put t think it is s virus.
    En me it looks like overheating. Eventually the high internal temperature requires the laptop to close. This is done automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
    I'm not quite sure what could cause this exactly, but in most cases the dust inside the fans affects cooling performance and lead to a temperature higher than m.

    Higher temperatures could affect the RAM modules too, and perhaps that is the reason why some applications don't work properly.

    What to say; try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air and check out how the laptop would proceed

  • Satellite A100 - options to close the lid for the laptop are not available

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - it came with Vista - I carefully cleaned the HARD drive and installed XP - I deleted the partitions etc. and started with a HDD in a perfect state of cleanliness.

    Then, I downloaded all Toshiba drivers that are available for my model.

    When I close the lid it still fully powered - there is no option to go into sleep mode, Hibernate etc in the options of "close cover" - the only option is the "status quo".
    How can I get the standby extended/standby/power options back?

    Your help would be appreciated

  • External screen goes blank when I close the lid Satellite P100

    Hi all.
    I hope someone has an idea as to what is happening here.

    Sometimes I like to watch a dvd or use the center of the media on my HD TV. I use Windows Vista to make it.

    When I had XP installed, I close the lid of the laptop and watch them to my heart's content. Now with Vista, I need to have the lid open be able to watch on the external display. If I close to you then the external screen is empty, as if I unplugged the laptop.

    That makes me free! What worries me is burn-in screen, because the standby screen not turn on as I am watching video.

    Help! Someone! Anyone!

    AFAIK in Vista that you can use the same options as under WXp. check please supply option and you will find an option called when I close the lid. As option, choose no action.

    I think you should be able to close the lid while watching the movie on screen.

    You know it's very important to install drivers in the correct order.
    The installation of common modules at the beginning is important because some drivers of Tosh need this application to work properly.
    If the energy saver has been installed on the operating system windows power settings will not work.

    In addition, please check your BIOS preinstalled. Compare the version with the BIOS on the page. If your uses of the unit the old version, so try to update.

  • Satellite A200 AH3 stops instead of standby when I close the lid

    Hello

    I have a laptop Satellite A200 AH3. When I bought Windows Vista was preinstalled (I still drive recovery). When I closed the lid of the previous day (I mean the monitor turn off the HD, the cooling fan and all the rest). The light On / Off on the laptop turned to a flashing orange light.

    Then I opened the lid and Windows prompted me to the logon screen. This process occurred when the laptop starts on the battery, not when it is plugged. Everything was going fine.

    But I formatted the HD to install WIndows XP that I bought Windows vista seem to be too heavy for my laptop. So I installed Windows XP and the driver and the software available on the Toshiba site. Now when I close the lid, the Windows shut down very quickly (about5-6 seconds). However, it is a real firm. When I reopen it cover anything happen.

    Then I press the power button / stop and start Windows, normally (no screen saying that windows close annormally and no Safe Mode boot option). Even if I change the setting in the control panel/power Option or the Toshiba Power Saver, utility and I put them to sleep, he always make a stop down.

    How do I restore that?

    Hello!

    Have you downloaded the BIOS for Windows XP?
    For the Satellite A200, there are two versions available; one for XP and one for Vista.

    Also, make sure that you have the latest graphics card driver and keep your XP to date.

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro L10 begins to if auto close the lid

    I've got a L10 running windows xp profesional. The problem I have is after the laptop is off and I'm going to close the laptop top restarts.

    Hello

    What?
    Are your sure that you do not use the option "restart" your laptop?
    The Windows operating system contains the closing down, and then restart the option.

    The other possibility is that the parameters energy saver is defined to start the laptop.
    Please open the energy saver and check the option "when I close the lid.
    But it's very strange because you can configure this option only in sleep or Hibernate mode.
    However I recommend you this feature and if necessary set it to no action

  • Satellite C650 stops when I close the lid

    I recently got my laptop for Christmas, and a few weeks ago, I noticed that whenever I opened the cover, I had to turn it back on. He woul say the computer stops unexpectedly. Then you choose the security mode or regular. You hit one and we would send you to the Start Up repair.

    What should I do to get that normal back where I can close the lid and then open it again without having to reboot and wait more than seven minutes to start repair.
    Also, I got the blue screen.

  • Satellite L500 - external screen display after closing the lid?

    Hello
    I use the Satellite L500 - 120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7, the laptop has a function very uncomfortable, when I applied an external display.
    When I closed the lid of my laptop, Office was shown on my display (with the native resolution of the external display) external, so I had not to
    change anything on the control panel. In Windows 7, Miss me this feature. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there is no parameters, which fits
    with the previous ones. I can duplicate the screen in order to see my desktop screen on my external screen, but with the resolution of 1366 x 768 laptop.
    If I extend the views, then there is only the background image to the external screen, but this time with the native resolution.

    So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that I closed the lid, and the screen should be shown on my external screen?
    Or should I install applications Toshiba, that I had before, who visited account this function?

    Thanks for any help!

    Hello

    I m not a Windows 7 user because I want to wait until it will be released official, but I hope that I can help you a bit:

    First of all in power management, you can choose the action that happens if you close the lid (g. e. sleep, close, etc.). This action must be disabled because otherwise the laptop shuts down or something else.

    So I think that you need to install the display driver for your laptop. You can try the Vista driver because most of them are working on Windows 7.
    Then you should be able to define the correct screen resolution for external monitor.

    A working display driver is important to the clone or extends monitors to verify this!

  • Satellite L300-1FS - Wireless reconnect after closing the lid

    Hello

    My 2 month old son Toshiba laptop works very well in many ways, but an annoying problem, is that if we close the lid when you open it again it doesn't re connect to our router. If I click on the network connection, it just says: there is no everything!

    Sometimes the switching market re wireless switch will connect there, but more often than not, it's a reboot, which is annoying.

    Proves that the wireless card works but it would be nice to not have him harass me every time it does not connect.

    All ideas welcome.

    Hello

    First a question: what exactly happens if you close the lid?
    This laptop stops, or goes to stand-by or extended sleep?

    However, in your case, I would try to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS. Check the Toshiba website for updates:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    It would be interesting to know what operating system you have and if you are running the factory settings or you have installed another OS?

    A friend told Satellite L300 and he is very satisfied and can t notice any problem. :)

  • Satellite U300 will switch to standby when the lid is closed during shutdown

    My U300 is set to go in mode 'sleep' whenever I close the lid, as most of the laptops I use. But when I shut down this computer and close the lid, it goes to sleep Mid-stop!

    This means that when I want to stop, I have to wait until it finishes and then when I open it again I have to wait until it stops and starts then, often to see that the battery is almost dead too! Any fix for that?

    Hello

    To be honest, I don't see any problem there. The same thing happen on my Satellite P200 preinstalled Vista. The process of closing time and if you interrupt close laptop screen, it makes sense that, after you open the Vista will continue stop procedure.

    For you, it will be better to make the best configuration of the laptop. Just for example:
    -If you want to switch to sleep mode use FN + F3 key combination. After a few seconds, the laptop will be in standby mode and you can close the lid
    -Use the power option and choose the option STOP for when I close the lid

    On this way, you will have perfectly configured OS for your needs and no problem more. I use the same configuration.

  • Computer stops whenever I close the lid

    I have a 5510 accuracy is around the age of 2 months with 10 Windows installed on it.  In 2-3 weeks he started close subject when I close the lid.  Of course, I never close the lid and save open it immediately, it's usually hours later or the next day.

    My settings specify that when I close the lid it falls asleep on the two battery and plugged in, but now it's apparently close because when I re - open the cover later it's start.

    I saw another post that mentions trying several things like updating video drivers or do some diagnostics on the hard drive.  What should I check first?

    Hi KLIEMOHN,

    This happens with or without the adapter plugged? Is there the bluescreens / system breaks down? The pilot light and manual standby modes work fine? The system into hibernation and turn very well?

    Update the BIOS - http://dell.to/1U2Js3b

    Create a system restore point.

    Reinstall the chipset and video drivers from the same site above.

    Go to control panel-> options-> to modify the parameters of plan-> change advanced power-> sub sleep settings - disable hybrid sleep - under the power buttons and lid-> check lid close action settings - apply and ok

    Restart the system and check that it works very well.

    Create a new account admin and check - http://bit.ly/1JoFhcw

    If the problem is not resolved, restart the system and press f2 to enter the BIOS - close the lid and open again and check if the system stops, and it stays on in BIOS mode.

    Restart button f12 system and press on start - choose the diagnosis. Let run diagnostic tests and if you encounter errors - take note of the full error even report for us.

    If the system is under warranty, write me a private conversation with the service tag, your name and e-mail address.
