Satellite A665 no display - external screen does not work

I help my brother in law with his laptop Satellite A665, who developed a very strange display issue.

As his wife has poor vision, he uses an external VGA Westinghouse flat screen display with the LCD screen on the laptop.

Now, however, when the external monitor is disconnected it also loses the LCD.
I tried to go to the LCD by using only the display of control Fn/F5, but when LCD only is selected, it remains empty.

Then, I went the Toshiba HW config utility and disabled monitor automatic selection at startup and selects the display LCD only at startup.

Reboot in this way also translates into a blank display, until the external monitor is reconnected, date at which both displays are active.

Bottom line, it of that I find no obvious for the laptop LCD display without also the connected external monitor and displays. Thanks in advance for any thoughts on this embarrassing problem.

Does this mean that internal displays only works if the external monitor is connected to the laptop?

It's really strange. As you say, usually, you should be able to switch between the internal display and the external monitor by pressing FN + F5.

It would be interesting to know if change BIOS defaults might restore the internal display. I guess that it will not solve your problem, but it s worth a try.

I guess that it is hardware problem (motherboard), and it won't be easy to fix

  • Satellite L300 - 1-5 - the screen does not work

    Recently, I encountered a problem with my laptop, the screen does not work.
    I tested my inverter of the screen and my backlight lamp to see that if that was the problem, but they both worked perfectly, I then tried the entire screen with the parts and that worked too. (I tried in my friends Toshiba Satellite L300 - 217)

    Then I looked around online and got told to try to connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either. So now I'm stuck, I have tried everything even made sure all connections aren't loose etc but it still does not.

    Anyone know what the problem with my laptop?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hey Buddy,

    > connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either.
    This means that the internal monitor is ok and the reason must be the graphics card or card mother herself.

    I guess for now, you get only a screen empty and nothing happens on your laptop?

    In this case, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Just get in touch with the guys and ask for help. They can check the cell phone and fix it! ;)

  • Satellite L50-B916 - recording external Microphone does not work

    Hello

    Connect an external microphone to * Headphone\Microphone combo socket *, still records through portable microphone instead of externally. Registration of external Microphone does not work.

    What Miss me? Please notify.

    Model: L50-B916
    Screenshot: http://s12.postimg.org/j8h3v5k4d/laptop.jpg

    I can't say with certainty what may be wrong here, but two things confuse me:
    -somehow your external MIC is obviously not detected because in the case when the external microphone is connected laptop switches automatically to it
    -I don't understand why there are two identical entries under recording devices.

    When I connect my headphone it is always a single entry (Conexant SmartAudio HD default unit), but my machine automatically goes to the external microphone only.

    Have you tested the feature with some applications like Skype?

  • External screen does not work after update of El Capitan

    Hi all

    I hope someone can help out me with this. I have a MBP 2011 (i7, 4 GB ram, 330 M) and since I've updated to El Capitan (now 10.11.2) my external screen no longer works. I use a HDMI Cable MiniPort who worked before the upgrade. I am trying to connect to a 720 p TV and tried to connect it to my 28 '' ASUS monitor 1080 p that I normally use for my Windows desktop. None worked. My MacBook display blinks for a while when I connect it and then nothing. I was not able to connect it to my projector via VGA USB adapter until I've found the last update on the Web site of the adapter, then at least the display has been resolved. I tried the 'View to detect' button in the preferences system, no luck.

    I had the same problems. I installed El Capitan in MacBook Air early 2015. My external monitor is Dell P2314H. After installation, the MacBook Air is no longer detected the monitor, and the monitor does not save any video input to the computer.

    I chatted with Apple Support, but they don't give me satisfactory answers.

    Then I came across this answer on another thread of discussion the similar question:

    Re: El Capitan does not detect my external display

    And the solution that works for me is proving to be as simple as changing the cable. So I stopped using official mini Apple displayport to HDMI/DisplayPort/DVI connector. Instead now I use a cable (mini displayport to displayport in my Dell of MacBook Air) I bought locally (I live in Jakarta, Indonesia). It works like magic.

    I hope this helps you.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 1 P 1 - external screen does not work

    I just bought a satellite P L50-B-1 1. When I tried to connect the port RGB (VGA) to a TV (as an external monitor), the laptop screen became smaller and the right part of the whole picture was absent, even when the external monitor is not turned on.

    The screen of the laptop on the left and right show a black background. The image is in the middle. It's supposed to be normal or something is wrong with this laptop?

    All the answers are welcome

    As I understood the message, you have activated the external display output and can see the image on the TV.
    The question is; What resolution the TV taken in charge and which external output option selected?

    The point is that you can switch to the external display by choosing the option; Extended desktop, display clone or you can turn off the internal display and broadcast the image on the external monitor TV.

    In case you cloned display, two screens (internal + external) must use the same resolution! Where the TV would be favourable to a lower resolution, the internal laptop screen would reduce the resolution too!

    I recommend you read the user manual it provides some basic knowledge of laptop

  • Satellite A300D-11 t - external microphone does not work

    Hello.

    I have the Satellite A300D-11 t, Windows Vista HP 32 bit SP1.
    After almost a year of functioning of the system, Vista decided to fail. So I reinstalled it.

    I downloaded all the necessary drivers and forgive me - no unnecessary waste, such as + help +, + acoustic silencer +, + Config Free + and so now (surprisingly fan slowed down and all the computer is colder).

    Now. When I plug the headphones with built-in microphone system does not automatically switch on this one.
    In + Control Panel / sounds + I can see that I plugged it, I can do a test and the test itself works perfectly with a helmet but + recognition + however receives sound from microphone.

    Also when music plays of any player, plug the headphones does not switch anything - music plays again from built-in speakers. The same situation with + Skype + and change any setting does not help.

    Initially, I forgot to install the audio drivers because Windows has done it for me, but adding it did not improve the situation.

    I'm starting to think that maybe I didn't install anything. Here's what I have so far:
    -lan drv - 20080715144843
    -modem drv - 20080403094119

    Can someone help me with this?

    Hello

    As far as I know that the laptop supports the audio chipset Conexant CX20561 then you must install the Conexant audio driver!

    Please install the SP3 of XP Win first before install you the audio driver.

    PS: If the newer BIOS version has been released then update also!

  • Re: Satellite A300D - 15 c - external microphone does not work

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300D - 15 c with Vista 32 bit.
    My microphone works fine, but I can't get the external microphone to work.

    I would really appreciate help with this problem.

    Thank you!

    Edit: The microphone is enabled of course, it is not cut and the level is set to max.

    Hello

    It looks more like a hardware problem, I mean a problem of external microphone jack what you think?

    Just a question;
    It is perhaps a silly question, but are you sure you used a right sleeve to 100%? Maybe you mixed the headphones with mic jack

  • Satellite A60-122: screen does not work - rest black

    Hello!!

    Can someone help me please on a screen problem? I have a Toshiba Satellite A60-122 and when I turn it on the screen does not work. It remains black as if the power of the laptop was turned off. I tried to connect the laptop to an external monitor, but it still does not work. I have no more ideas of what can do to make it work.

    I already told to format the pc with the cd of restoration but without an image, it is impossible to do anything...
    Thank you

    Isabel

    Hello Isabel

    I'm not an expert, but if there is no image on LCD internal display and the external monitor, I assume that there is a problem with the graphics card. I think you should contact the customer Service of your country partner and let check the device.

    I also hope that the warranty is still valid and if something needs to be replaced they will do it for free.

    Bye and let us know if you have more information about it.

  • Screen does not work on Satellite L775-10F

    I turn on the computer and the screen does not work. Everything seems fine but the screen is all black.

    Nothings happening. I tried turning market and its still does not.
    I also tried to connect to my TV with an hdmi cable.

    What should I do?

    Connect it to the TV and wait until Windows 7 is fully loaded (you will hear sound Win) than trying to use FN + F5 several times. It may happen on the TV Office. Be sure you use the right settings on the TV (HDMI port must be enabled on the right).

    F nothing helps I presume the display can be defective then contact the closest service Toshiba and let them check your laptop.

  • Qosmio DX730 and Win8 - touch screen does not work

    Hello

    My wife's parents bought a Toshiba Qosmio DX730 (model PQQ11A). They have recently upgraded to Windows 8 and the touch screen does not work now.

    The problem is lack of drivers (the monitor driver reports as a generic PnP monitor).

    I have went on the Toshiba site and selected downloads driver for the appropriate model and installed a number of drivers, including recommended NVidia display drivers. There is no drivers on the site that seem to install support for Toshiba touchscreen.

    Are there no drivers available for this model Windows 8? If not, is there another solution? If Yes, where can I find them. Any help very appreciated because they have nice and bought computer Windows 8 so they could use the touch functions.

    Thank you.

  • EliteBook 1020: External keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker

    We had a few HP 1020 and 1040: models recently, and all have the same question. When the laptop is connected, the external keyboard does not work in the form of Bitlocker. It works in the BIOS and in Windows itself, but not in Bitlocker. This means that we must open the laptop screen to enter the Bitlocker pin, then let it open and GPO that dictates the computer into hibernation when the lid is closed. We have twisted the GPO, but in vain. Anyone else seen elsewhere or a solution?

    If the bios is up to date, I would look at the BIOS settings. I think that Fast Boot is enabled in your case, this may cause usb devices not to see in the stadium that BitLocker requires
