• Compaq presario cq42 screen becomes black when the external monitor is unplugged

  Compaq presario cq42-137tu running windows 7 32 bit.

  I've been using a connected external display on the vga port and now every time I disconnect the monitor and restart the laptop the laptop LCD screen will display the original message of compaq and the black windows boot screen with the logo but then turns off. If I reconnect the extrnal monitor it will work fine (even if the external monitor is turned off)

  The screen of the laptop works fine without the external monitor connected in safe mode.

  I used both the HP support and the setting in the display panel to select single monitor and set the display on the screen of the laptop, but every time that the external monitor is not connected the screen turns off. The external screen does not need to be turned on, just to connect to the laptop monitor work. I also tried to download the graphics driver and put it back.

  If your laptop is a ComPaq base model then there is the (built-in) Intel UMA / GMA 4500 M - GL40 chipset with video memory sharing and you should consider downloading and installing the driver Intel graphics high definition (HD).

• Satellite P300 - randomly turns off the power when connected to the external monitor

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P300, Intel Core 2 Duo T9400 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 512 MB, running Windows 7 ultimate x 64.

  Recently, I bought an AOC v22 led screen and connect my conputer via HDMI. Everything works fine, but sometimes my computer off just randomly. I might have something to do with my computer overheating, so I clean the fan, but this was not good.

  I think it has something to do with the LED screen because my computer was never off his own.

  Hello

  So this also happens if you n t connect laptop to external display? So, you can determine what is causing this problem.

  If the computer laptop doesn t turn off without external monitor, you should try to update the BIOS and the display driver. Two updates that you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  You close the lid if you have connected the external monitor?
  What operating system do you use?

  In addition, it would be interesting to know how you clean the laptop. That's why I use the jet of compressed air that can blow the dust from the cooling fans and you don't have to disassemble the laptop.

  Good bye

• Satellite P300 - display resolution incorrect if the external monitor is connected

  I wanted to use a monitor BENQ of WAP 2010 with my Satellite P300 laptop operating system is Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.

  When I connect it, the display resolution changes to an unusable.
  I installed the latest ATI drivers that I downloaded from the Toshiba site. Max screen resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.

  Also, I can't set the correct resolution for the LCD display of the laptop more.

  How set up the screen, so that the monitor displays a clone of the LCD screen for laptop and find the correct resolution?

  Hello

  > Max monitor resolution is 1680 x 1050. This resolution no longer exists after the connection of the monitor.
  Please understand that not all possible solutions are supported by a graphics card chip or a graphics card driver.
  If one of the parts mentioned would not support this resolution then you will not be able to choose and use the external monitor!

  In your case, I recommend the manual of your laptop.
  There you can find a list of available external resolutions and supported.

• Tecra A10 - 1LL - connection with the external monitor

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Tecra A10.

  When I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I have to manually switch the screens because external shows nothing. When I disconnect the monitor I have to pass the screens manually with FN + F5 because the internal display shows nothing.

  My old laptop (Tecra A9 (PTS52E-0E702NGR)) is the poster automatically whenever I connected or disconnected an external monitor.

  Anyone has an idea why the A10 light automatically as the old notebook? Maybe it's the only spot in the preferences of the display driver that I don't see right now. :-)

  Hi SilverWizard,

  What happens if you try to switch on the external monitor using the options of display driver, or that this combination of buttons don t work?

  As wrote Al - eX you must update tools from Toshiba to get the keys FN working again. Everything can be downloaded here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  It's working now?

• Shaking image on the external monitor when the Satellite A200 is running on AC

  Hello

  I have this problem that drives me crazy... I bought an external monitor for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A200-1 9 s, but the problem is that the image on the external monitor, shakes. I tried another monitor, the same, another cable, same problem; the only way to stop it is to unplug the AC of the laptop.

  I also tried to move the monitor further away from the laptop, but nothing.
  I can stop shaking so hard that if I switch to the profile AC from FULL POWER to save power... but even with this image is still shaking a little.

  So basically there is a magnetic field around here, probably in the portable, which makes my picture shaking like crazy... someone knows how to stop it?
  TX

  Hello

  Hmmm...
  I don't think it has to do something with magnetic fields.

  Cause she is related to the energy consumption of the computer, it seems that there is a problem with the AC adapter.
  If he needs to deliver all the 'juice', this is capacitors to keep absolutely stable voltage may be too low.
  These instabilities (with the frequency of 50 Hz supply) can parasitize the signal on the screen.

  A solution for this?... If you know how to solder some fat capacitors somehow between the two...

  Or:
  It is a grounding problem
  I have never heard of such problems with the LCD (VGA monitors?) monitors. Generally, this is the case when you use an analog video output,
  leading to no color on TV.
  You have an annoying hum when you connect the audio output to an amplifier? It would be a sign for it.
  I had such a problem and solved by plugging my laptop on the sector on another circuit in the House as my audio devices
  So experiment with it.
  First: unplug all the other stuff (printer, Poles, antennas, all) these are unpleasant problems with a lot of possible interference.

  Let me know!

• Problems with the external monitor W540 connection

  Hi, maybe someone can help me. I'm trying to connect a W540 (no external dock) to an external monitor Dell.

  I tried with two monitors, but none work.

  Connected via VGA port on the side of the W540

  (1) connected monitor and clogged up the resolution of the screen on laptop (lines icons tiny, black on each side of the screen). External monitor works fine. When unplugged, it went back to the previous screen resolution.

  (2) laptop registered resolution and icon size of the screen as a profile.

  (3) external monitor connected right click options graphics Intel, insured was custom display, main display plus external monitor, then had to go in a re - click on the name of the saved profile.

  (4) this worked ok until the next day, when turned on laptop and a blue screen. Managed to get this back hard by restarting and completed the steps in N3

  (5) cannot get the Nvidia Control Panel to display anything else than the 3D options, even if it make the default value (instead of the Intel graphic card)

  Can anyone offer some so that I can connect an external monitor without having to go through all this hassle every time? Why this affects the laptop so bad (and also, it runs very slowly after that)

  Running Windows 8 (but with the interface of Windows 7)

  Thank you very much

  Thank you. A quick update, I contacted Lenovo, and they sent the updated bios drivers. I also uninstalled some software Canon MP Navigator and Lenovo EMC Discovery (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081844?tabName=Solutions). One or all of them seem to have solved the problem, including the slow start.

• Satellite Pro L360-14F - cannot play videos on the external monitor

  Toshiba Satellite Pro L360-14F
  Video files as avi, flv, mp4 are played with SM-player etc on the screen of the laptop, but not on the external monitor attached.
  A newspaper there is the error message: MPlayer crashed by the bath OF CPU/FPU/RAM usage.

  Which may mean that?

  You already go to the external display by using the FN + F5 keys?
  To do this.

  In addition, you must go first to the external screen and then you need to start the windows media player or other video player.

  I advise to use the VLC Player. It s free fro and plays most of the files

• The laptop monitor goes black after the external vga connection screen

  Hey,.

  I have a Qosmio G50 - 10H, Windows 7 32-bit. After connecting to an external monitor, the internal laptop display becomes almost black. It is possible to see some items on the screen, but it is dark gray to work on. It does not much adjustment of color or brightness (black to very dark grey). The main problem is when disconnecting the external monitor monitor internal still is dark gray and still does not have many adjustments. It's so dark on the adjustments of brigthest that it is impossible to work. I downloaded the latest version of the driver for the support, but still the same problem.

  Any suggestions?

  It is somewhat strange.
  You can switch between LCD and external monitor by using the FN + F5 key combination?
  If you can switch to the LCD only again everything OK?

• Satellite M30X-111 screen does not display anything but the external monitor works

  My laptop just screen does not display anything (like when the computer is turned off), but when I connect the external monitor, then the desktop is displayed on this screen. I tried to recover the laptop using the recovery disk and it worked again, but today, it stopped working again.

  Again, I must plug the external monitor, and after I tried to restart, I continue to pressing F8 but the startup mode is not come, the noise of when you press a button for too long beeps, however, the monitor of the laptop working again.

  How can I solve this problem?

  What do you do? You want to recover the laptop?
  If Yes, you n press any F8 but you will need to boot from the recovery CD by pressing the C key immediately after starting the laptop.

  But this question seems that you have accidentally switched to external display.
  I recommend checking the Fn + F5 option. This combination allow you to switch between the display and the external monitor.

• How to find out the resolution of the external monitor max on Satellite Pro A100-02Y

  I have a Satellite Pro A100-02Y.

  I want to launch an external monitor but don't have any idea how big a monitor will deal graphics drivers. How will I know?

  Thanks for any help.

  Hello

  You should keep one fact in mind that the available screen resolution depends on the graphics card and the graphics card driver.
  If I'm not mistaken, you can find the max somewhere graphics card resolution information in the user manual.

  But note; If the graphics card driver does not support you favorite resolution then you will not be able to use and to choose!

  In the properties of the graphics card, you can find the available screen are supported by GPU driver resolutions.
  Usually these resolutions could be used on the external monitor, but only if the external monitor takes care of everything.

  Best regards

  Is there a question here?

  Read your manuals and find a way to use your laptop computer based on the instructions from Sony to connect external (including projectors) monitors for the laptop.  Usually a connection (as you said Windows XP where you have published, probably VGA) for the monitor and a few buttons to tell the laptop to mirror or extend the display to the second monitor.

• I can't enter the bios using the external monitor

  Hello, I use Dell Inspiron n4010 for the last 2.5 years. My laptop monitor stopped working that's why I bought an external Dell monitor... Its works fine but I need to install the windows now... Unfortunately, I cannot get into the BIOS of the external display and can not change the device to initialize DVD ROM.

  Please can someone tell how to enter the BIOS using the external monitor (I put it as a main monitor, but it still does not work)? The Monte screen after windows starts... Is it possible to get it back? Help, please...

  Yes - I know - it's what I'm trying to show you how!

  If you follow my instructions in my last post, you will see nothing for the "six seconds".but the startup process stops at the BIOS screen and FN & F1 or F1 key will rise from the dead internal to external monitor.

  Hi mate

  I recommend using the FN + F5 key combination
  You can use it to switch to output the external monitor or TV.
  This key combination supports several options:
  -screen internal + external display
  -external display only
  -TV out
  -etc...

  You have to press FN + F5 several times in order to get the right output.
