Satellite L500-13F (PSLJ0E) - wrong screen resolution

I have a problem with resolution in my new laptop Satellite.

This model has monitor 15.6 "and resolution 1366 x 768. In my book since the resolution is 1280 x 800, which means that on my screen, I see a black box on the right side, and I can't see the bottom of the screen. There is no possibility to change the resolution in the graphics options (all available modes are for a 4:3 display and are lower 1280 x 800) - which is strange - the refreshing rate monitor is 58Hz (?).

More strange is that from time to time (for 3 weeks, it happens twice) after the opening of my laptop, the resolution is correct (1366 x 768, 60 Hz and availble are all the other modes), but after the reboot, the resolution is wrong once again - even when starting.

I tried to Flash the BIOS, install new drivers, but the problem remains.

Prayer for all the advice (and sorry for my English)

Hello

As you say the laptop supports the 15.6 screen "(HD) with 16:9 aspect ratio and native resolution should be 1366 x 768."

I have no idea why your resolution change but eventually it s just a graphics driver issue

As far as I know that the laptop uses the INTEL GL40 graphics chip is it normal?
In your case I would recommend GPU driver from the Intel page
Then, you need to install or update the driver in Device Manager
Simply mark the graphic card and use the Advanced installation, then pointing the driver files

In the Intel driver for mobility (in Control Panel) settings, you can also change the image format options
There are 3 different options: maintain the proportions; full screen (without borders); Center Office check all the

  • Satellite A - wrong screen resolution in games

    Hello

    I change the operating system from Windows Vista to Windows 7 64 bit home and I download the driver for Windows but when I play games, it seems 1024 * 768 pixels and my laptop has 1366 * 768 pixels.

    So anyone who has a solution to this problem please help

    Hello

    Unfortunately, I think you have to offer more details on your problem as the number of exact model laptop and all the games that you play.

    Important point is that the game must support the native screen resolution of your screen, otherwise, you are not able to use 1366 * 768 pixels. You should check this first!

    Also make sure that this new Toshiba display driver is installed and update your DirectX version.

  • Satellite L500 - flicker and black screen turns green

    Toshiba Satellite L500-screen color problem; White and black green turn turn pink. When the laptop is turned on after a while, the screen back to normal, but just for a second. Then he turns his back to the Green and Pink for black and white color again. The display also flashes.

    Anyone, please help me.

    Hello

    Theoretically the two parties may be affected: Notebok display or graphic card itself.

    Way simpler to check that connects to an external monitor. If the external monitor is ok, the graphics card is affected. Otherwise, the screen of the laptop must be exchanged.

    Is your laptop still under warranty?

    I activated the FAST Boot in the BIOS on my Satellite L500-1UU.

    Hello

    Why you n t set the BIOS back to default settings?
    Turn on the device, press F2, and then choose the default settings in the BIOS (I think you need to press F9).

  • Satellite A500: Can not change screen resolution

    I have an A500 - 15 M with a 16 "display, which is more than a year.
    He worked always very happy with a resolution of 1366 * 768, which is the size of the screen (a little unusual).

    No reason apparent, this morning, it starts with a screen resolution of 1280 * 800 and does not anyway to get back to its normal resolution.
    The result is a screen that is not full width of the screen, but which covers the bottom.

    Vista option display settings will not allow anything beyond the amount of 1280 * 800 and no fiddling with the graphics settings (Intel) will fix the problem.
    OS is Vista32 but the problem is still there after a relocation in 64-bit mode.

    I have this terrible feeling that I did something really stupid, but I am at a loss now - any suggestions or help would be very appreciated

    Hello

    You have an Intel graphics card?
    I think that first you need to update the graphics driver.
    To be honest, I never had no problem changing the screen resolution, but I would like to reinstall the driver first.

    I think you could try the latest driver for graphics card in the Intel page.
    These drivers should be up to date so try it out and then try to change the resolution again.

  • Satellite C70 - A - 16 L - screen resolution problem

    Hello

    I recently had a screen resolution problem with my laptop (C70 - A - 16 L).
    The max screen resolution which is imparted to me is 1366 x 768, whereas before I think he used 1600 x 900.

    I tried the latest drivers, Bios, etc. and have also restored the operating system to a previous backup, as well as a new installation.
    I also tried to roll back to Windows 7 (with proper drivers). They all offer the same problem.

    This new maximum resolution display correctly - as if the LCD does not deal with the timings of 1366 x 768.
    I believe that the Panel is OK and the problem he reports the EDID information properly - to force windows to use the new resolution.

    Is there a download monitor.inf file that can be used to bypass the EDID reported by the Panel?

    Kind regards

    If the right to display drver is usually installed everything should be OK.

  • Satellite L500 verticle lines on screen

    There is something seriously wrong with my laptop. I bought this toshiba L500 satellite for my sister a few months ago, and this problem happened since it was purchased. I never discovered the problem until I recently got the laptop for myself. Initially I thought it was something to do with the battery (recently the battery warning came up saying that I needed to replace. He has since disappeared).

    For some reason, the screen randomly between wobbly then turn into colored vertical lines. It happens at random intervals so I can't say when it will happen then and it is not serious what I'm doing on the laptop, it is and the only way I can get rid of it is to force the reboot.

    The thing I want to know is if it's a major problem or something that can easily be fixed? Warranty will cover it or should I start saving for a new?

    > The thing I want to know is if it's a major problem or something that can easily be fixed?
    This could be a serious hardware problem.
    Have you noticed the same vein on the external monitor.
    If so, these lines could be linked to a faulty graphics chip.
    In this case the motherboard must be replaced.

    > Warranty will cover it or should I start saving for a new?
    Well, if the warranty is valid, then the laptop must be fixed free of charge.
    Generally, the standard warranty is valid 12 months from the date of purchase of long

  • Satellite L500-1XD - why my screen flashes after fashion watches?

    Hello

    After the start from standby mode, the screen is fine for 3 or 4 minutes, and then I notice a fast blink. This becomes worse and worse until I got then to restart the laptop, or put into hibernation and power up again. I tried to gently move the screen to see if the connection is loose, but the screen just keeps blinking like before. The flashing is random, it's like watching the CPU flash light but its my going fullscreen. It seems to happen after the mode 'sleep', it happens every time, but I would say more than 50 percent.

    This happened to someone else? I wonder what I should do next, or the contact person. I've only had the laptop in July!

    Thank you very much in advance for any advice you can offer.
    Anna

    Hello Anna

    Have you noticed this behavior from the first day?
    You know, sometimes some Microsoft updates can have a negative influence on the standard functions. For a few months, I noticed a strange situation on my laptop satellite. After sleep, I get a stupid error and mouse is dead. I don't have it in the past.

    What you can try is to install the new OS by using the HDD recovery procedure and to test the feature with the factory settings. I am sure that with its own OS preinstalled, everything will be OK. If the problem persists perhaps you should contact the closest service Toshiba.

  • Satellite L500-1XD - why the screen jump when running on batteries?

    I recently bought my L500 and it works very well when it is connected to the electric network, but when I running on battery the screen jumps and flickers.
    I was told to look at the BIOS but that seems fine.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Jumps and flickers?
    The same happens when you use different power management?

  • Satellite L500 - 20 X black screen problem

    Hello!

    I have problems with my laptop. My screen was casuing problems for awhile. I had black lines and white and grounds all over the screen and always had to change the angle of the screen. Once, I opened the laptop and magically, the situation has changed for the better without me doing much. He stayed like that for about a year.

    Well, recently, it got worse again and one day my screen stayed black when I tried to boot up the laptop. I tried an external monitor using the windows + P and Fn + F5 key, but none worked. Then I tried closing the laptop right after pressing the power button. It worked. I got a clear image on the external monitor. Then, I opened my laptop and - as if by magic for me - had a picture on the internal display, too. It worked until - after several hours - I had to restart the laptop. Now I'm back with the same question that I had before, and even the once-successful tactics seems to no longer work.

    Long story short: I thought, I might as well try a power cycle hard (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFehLaJP6fQ) before you open Notepad again. And anyway, I don't know if opening it will do me any good.

    My questions are:

    (1) is that someone has an idea what might be going on here?

    (2) a hard power cycle will leave my data intact hard disk? It is not the same as a factory reset, is it? (In fact it is much more data, then the laptop. I would rather sacrifice laptop data.)

    Thanks in advance!

    So, can someone at least tell me, if my data is safe, if I do a hard power cycle?
