Satellite C850 - how to prevent breaking easily the VGA port

Hello

Our school has recently made 20 portable Toshiba L850 and computers C850. As most of the staff allows to connect to his projector VGA port, VGA The port must be strong.

In recent days, we have 3 laptops with the Port VGA brought away from the laptop! just one thumb on the cable when connected breaks this port, and we cannot get a Toshiba repair, because it's our fault. Fixing this problem will cost us an entirely new Mobo that will most likely cost to buy a new laptop.

All solutions on how we can prevent the VGA port to stop so easily? There are no screws to screw the VGA port, unlike all of our older laptops that do not break and lasted much longer than 7 days...

It is not easy to write something about it, except to say when you remove or disconnect VGA cable do slowly, gently and may move slightly left/right.
I put t know if this is a design flaw. I think that everything is tested until it goes to production.

  • Satellite P750 - unable to connect an external display via the VGA port

    Hi all

    My problem is the following:

    I tried to connect my P750 (running on W7 x-64) an external display using the VGA cable port. Unfortunately, these devices recognize my phone. Laptop does not recognize the external display, you can see in the graphics settings as additional display, but the screen shows "no signal".

    The computer always identifies the screen correctly, so it seems that there is communication from the screen to the PC, but not the reverse.

    This has been verified with 3 separate screens and television - still the same. All the screens work properly with the other PC.

    I already have:

    -try to play with FN + F5 / "windows" + buttons P - no change
    -install the latest drivers BIOS and video site Web from Toshiba - no change

    Suggestions how to operate? Is it possible that the VGA port is faulty?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a HDMI output port?
    Usually, you don't need to change anything to get the external monitor works.
    Press Fn + F5 several times until the monitor RGB (VGA) was selected
    Since you can choose an HDMI output too, you should pay attention to this option.

    Have you tried to change the resolution before using the Fn + F5?
    It s worth a try

    Last but not least, you could set the default BIOS (press F9 BIOS and save the changes by pressing F10). But I don't very well if the BIOS contains some parameters of port RGB (VGA) m

    When you connect the laptop to the TV, the first thing you need to do is to allow certain port on your TV.
    When the VGA port is combination of keys specific use of TV from laptop desk to the external device.

    I don't know what laptop do you have but on most computers Toshiba laptop is FN + F5 key combination. Of course it won't work if the external device is recognized properly.
    Somehow, I think that your TV is not recognized correctly.

    Can you see options to toggle between your laptop and the TV on your laptop?

  • Connect external monitor via the VGA port > > BSOD

    Hi all

    I have a laptop Acer Aspire V3-772 and I had an (obvious) problem. When I connect an externel to my VGA port my laptop freezes. After that I restarted my laptop (still connected to the monitor via the VGA input) I get the following BSOD:

    video_tdr_failure igdkmd64.sys

    This error I've read on the internet has nothing to do with the video card intel. On this laptop, there intel 4600 internal videocard. There is also a second video card which is geforce gtx 760 m.

    I updated my system completely and everything works fine. Except the VGA port.

    I tested my HDMI port that works correctly, open the same screen/monitor connected via the VGA input it freezes / BSOD.

    One give me advice on what could be the cause?

    is this hardware or software really? I think that the software. In any case I'll try to install the older version of the video card driver intel. I'll post if it works.

    I would like to have some advice on this issue.

    Thank you!

    Thanks for your reply. I tried already. HDMI works very well but even VGA displayport monitor (so double male vga cable) causes system hang still > BSOD.

    I did a factory reset. Same result.

    Conclusion... Its a hardware problem.
    I'll contact support so they can pick up my laptop for repair.
    I lost my weekend for this problem.

    I'll change this topic as resolved since it's associated mobo (intel grappics card).

  • Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

    However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
    In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
    This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

    My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

    Hello

    The power button led cannot be disabled.
    It s there if the laptop is turned on.
    The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...

  • Satellite L650 - no signal on TV via the HDMI port

    Hello

    I have a problem with the HDMI port. I am not able to connect the L650 to my TV. There will be no incoming television signal. The TV port is correct because I can connect my digital camera without any problems. The HDMI port is not displayed in the hardware Manager. I don't use the version of windows 7 that has been installed originally. I formatted the disk and have reinstalled a different version of windows.

    Do I need a special driver to activate the HDMI port? I just installed the ATI catalyst driver. If you would like more information, I'll try to give them as soon as possible.

    Thank you very much for your help

    Hi song2.

    > have reinstalled a different version of windows.
    And what version of Windows you have right now?
    You have yellow exclamation points in the Manager of devices or unknown devices?

    In general there is no driver special HDMI port. If you connect your laptop to TV/monitor external, you must press the FN + F5 key combination to switch between monitors.

    Hello

    Virtualization technology depends on the CPU!
    It is available only if the CPU supports it.

    Are you sure that the processor in your Satellite U500 supports VT?
    If it does not support this function so that could be one of the reasons why the VT is not available in the BIOS
