Satellite L500: cannot change display Multiple to play via the TV

After following the instructions to connect the computer to the TV via HDMI there is no signal. Followed the instructions in the user manual, but
User manual said to go to adjust properties/display resolution/advanced/GenericPnPMonitor/graphics properties, then click on "Display Multiple", but there is only a drop-down list option 'Single view' and 1 primary device in the laptop.

When I toggle FN + F5 to change the display it shows only the display LCD.

Is it something simple, I'm missing or suggests a flaw with the Toshiba display driver?
Thank you

Hello

Because I use the HDMI connection, I can recommend this:
First of all, connect the cable to your laptop and a TV or external monitor. Then turn on the TV and choose the right input channel. Finally turn on the laptop, and normally the HDMI connection will be recognized automatically.

If it doesn t work I recommend you to update the display driver and BIOS. Both can be based on the Toshiba site.

  • 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 L500 - cannot turn off the WiFi and network icon changing itself

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L500-1GL (comes with Win 32-bit =) and since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function. When I use the shortcut key to activate or disable the indicator led is turning on and off, but the wireless feature is always turned on and even the icon which shows the network connection, itself changes without doing something with it.

    A few times it shows Red Cross (as she has no connection), but says: connected. When I use wireless connecton always displays the cable connection icon. most of the time, when he should have been showing the strength of the signal.

    This is reaally annoing. Please help me solve this problem.

    Hi danihun,

    > since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function.
    The updates you have installed exactly?

    In your case, I would try a system restore to an earlier point.

  • Re: Satellite L500-1XJ - changed keyboard

    Bought a Satellite L500 - 1XJ 32-bit with Windows 7 second hand from a friend.
    It worked perfectly until the Toshiba files were accidentally deleted.
    Cannot find it anywhere, so I guess they have been permanently deleted.

    I tried the restore without success.
    Also the keyboard is now mixed up IE for the @ I have to use shift 2 instead of travel "."

    What can I do?

    What Toshiba files do you mean exactly?
    Maybe Toshiba image files?

    With regard to the problem of keyboard layout:
    I guess that the language of the keyboard has been changed.

    Usually, you can add and change the keyboard language in:
    Panel-> clock, language and region-> region and language-> keyboards and languages-> change keyboards.

  • Satellite A200 - cannot change the language on the CD OEM Toshiba

    Hoping to find help on how to change my Toshiba Satellite A200 language Spanish to English.

    I asked a friend to buy me this laptop to Spain, unknowing it OEM came Spanish language and the recovery CD is only as only Spanish but I do not understand Spanish and I was wrong to go on the laptop because I don't want to click on the wrong thing in Spanish.

    Even when I install programs, it automatically installs in Spanish and it's really frustrating.

    Someone HELP!

    Your laptop was purchased in Spain, and therefore the Vista operating system is also in the Spanish language.
    You cannot change it to English without buying a new drive for Microsoft Vista in English.

    In some cases, it would be possible to install a MUI (Multilanguage) package for Vista, but it works with Vista Edition full (and businesses?)

  • Satellite L500 - cannot flash BIOS

    Hi all

    Looking for help here - I have a series of Satellite L500 and the battery has recently stopped charging - from 3 hours to 0% - not charging not from one day to the next. Have you tried altering the eco of the settings button, by pressing power for 40 seconds and even a new power supply unit (we have these to my work), but nothing seems to work. The only thing I can do without buying a new battery is flashing the BIOS.

    Problem: I get an error saying that the BIOS cannot be flashed because it has less than 10% of its power. An idea for a workaround?

    I'm more inclined to buy a new laptop than to spend any money fix this one (CD drive and a USB port also stopped working) but try to maintain the old faithful.

    Any tips or advice?

    Thank you
    Bajar

    To Flash the BIOS by using the version focused on winning, the battery must be charged.
    If it s unloaded, the process of updating the BIOS would not start up.

    But why you want to update the BIOS?
    BIOS update does not resolve the problems with the drive CD/DVD or USB ports.

  • Satellite L500 - cannot run the DVD-ROM games

    I am currently having problems with my Toshiba Satellite L500 series. The problem is, I can run purchased audio CD, as well as DVDs of the films, but I can't run games DVDrom. Music CD will automatically start Media Player very well, as well as films in their corresponding players... Games (like Dragon Age Origins and Left 4 Dead) DVD - ROM cannot read, or be recognized. When I go to "Computer" and try to access the game, it says "no available disk. Please insert disc into drive D: ". So from what I understand, the CD/DVD-rom may not be completely broken if he reads all types, except for games to DVDrom.

    Can someone help me with this please! It is quite frustrating because my computer is just now to a year! I wouldn't think that all computer companies sell computers that fall apart after a year... I was hoping that it was different with Toshiba.

    Once more, the CD/DVD-ROM can read CD and DVD of the film, but NOT the games to DVDrom. Help, please! Thanks in advance!

    Hi adecker,.

    Maybe it s caused due the upper and lower filters in the registry. You should try to remove as you can read in this article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

    I had a similar problem that some discs can't be read more. And I went thorugh based forum to clean the CD/DVD drive lens with a microfibre cloth. Be careful if you do this and don't scratch the lens.

  • Satellite L500 - cannot install the Intel video driver

    Ok
    complete failure of the hard drive, no recovery cd was created, reloaded windows 7, looked up and downloaded the drivers from Toshiba, BUT there are only two video drivers listed, amd and Intel, both marked "for model only supported" its an Intel machine so I tried the Intel driver but it doesn't install, it just closes which I believe if the corresponding material is not found is the default action for these drivers.

    But I'm stuck with 'standard VGA graphics adapt' all other drivers loaded perfectly, (I installed the driver from chipset Intel first and rebooted, so it should be ok but it s not)

    Any ideas?

  • Satellite L500 - cannot activate the WLAN on FN + F8

    Hello to all users of Toshiba, Ii'm new to computers laptop Toshiba, this one beeing my 1st and iIhave a well-known problem, I read on the internet.

    I recently bought a Satellite L500-13W. It has Realtek Wifi and comes with Vista OS. I deleted Vista OS since I have the license to the retail of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 top intalled. All work well, Audio, video, everything outside the wireless card. I enabled from the BIOS and everything and yet when I press FN + F8 it does not activate. The drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings the upgrade of drivers. He said that the card works fine, but it does not turn on and search for Wifi signals. The Orange of the WIFI led does illuminate not.

    If anyone has a solution for this problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know what can be the problem, the software or the hardware.

    Advice me please. Thank you.

    Hi Darius1990,

    > Drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings upgrade drivers
    This means that you have installed the Windows update WIFI driver and no official site of Toshiba, right?
    Well, in this case, I would try the prétestées WLAN driver from Toshiba. So you can make sure that it s not a WLAN driver related problem. Just check the WLAN from Toshiba Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Have you tested other FN keys combination?
    If they don t work too you must install the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because these two tools to control the function FN key and are important to use them correctly.

  • Satellite L500 starts, allows me to connect, and then the screen goes black

    I just bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500.

    As I am a student in high school, it was a huge and very expensive purchase for me.
    I previously had a Toshiba that served me extremely well, so I was ready to buy a new one, but now I have a problem with it.
    I have a L5000 with operating system Windows 7 Professional.

    Notepad starts end, showing the Welcome screen and allowing me to enter my password, but once the password is accepted, and disappears from the Welcome screen, I find myself with a black screen showing only my mouse pointer.

    If I enter CTRL + ALT + DELETE, the Task Manager becomes visible, but I don't see nothing else UNLESS I select 'explorer' under the processes tab and end process, then re-run the Explorer - then only the home screen becomes visible.

    It's a new laptop - Needless to say I don't want to have to do this every time I turn it on. I should try to restore factory default?
    I'm usually very proficient with computers, but I don't have enough faith to tinker with it.

    Can anyone help?

    Hi Korosuhito,
    It sounds like an infection or a misconfiguration.

    You can try to start in safe mode and search for services that run maybe you can find the "bad guy".

    or (the fastest) is to restore the factory settings
    Make sure the bios is on the 'default' as well
