• Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to the VGA & DVI port at the same time?

  Satellite P100 comes with two port external monitor. One VGA and one DVI. Can you have two external monitor works at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal screen working at the same time (for a total of 3 screen at the same time?

  Here's what I confirm:

  Internal display + display DVI connector
  OR
  Internal display + screen VGA connector

  Is it possible to have:

  Display connector DVI + VGA connector display?

  OR

  Display connector DVI + VGA connector screen + internal display?

  As far as I know, this is not possible and you can use a DVI or VGA port.
  Output signal can be used only a single port for external monitor.

• Cannot get T500 to display on the external monitor

  Hello
  I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad T500 (type 2082.BSG), and I'm having problems after have recently updated my display on the Lenovo site software (read the list of installed software, I think that the installation of the software that is the cause of the problem is "ThinkPad features video [AMD switchable Graphics (M8x)] for Windows 7 [32/64 bit] ') version 8.752.4 - 101022 a-107489C-Lenovo). Before the update my computer has guessed what display is active (laptop screen or external monitor) and used the active display. For example, when the laptop is docked and the cover closed he used the external monitor. After the update when the laptop is connected and the lid is closed, I can't display on the external monitor. I have to open the lid and use the Fn + F7 to get the display on the external monitor. Can anyone tell me please what settings should I use to get the old behavior.

  Kind regards

  The previous is an old post, but as there was no response, and I recently solved the problem, I write in case someone else runs into the same problem.

  After having encountered the problem I restored the factory default driver (which does not show the problem). However, lately I received another message to the effect that it is recommended to install Lenovo "Thinkpad video Features (AMD Switchable Graphics...). ...". I installed the software but the problem described in my original message reappeared. However, this time, the software of (the age AMD) had a "driver update" option and my video material is correctly recognized and the correct driver has been downloaded from the AMD website, after which the problem described in my original post disappeared.

  Kind regards

• My laptop (Dell Inspiron only 3 months old) is displayed on an external monitor, but not on the laptop screen. I am running Windows 7.

  My laptop (Dell Inspiron only 3 months old) is displayed on an external monitor, but not on the laptop screen. I am running Windows 7. It was running and display very well last night. When I turned on this morning the monitor lit up but show just a gray-white screen and no office. When I attached an external monitor, I could see desktop and all other programs and Windows 7 routines seem to work very well.

  MB

  Press the Windows logo key and the p key, and then set up the PC to display on the built-in monitor only cycle through with the arrow key.  You can make this Store if you want - key Windows-p, right arrow once, paused for a few seconds & the laptop monitor should then appear normally.

  You can do so at the end of each session using the external display while you are ready for the use of the laptop on its own later.

• Satellite A660-1FM - maximum resolution of the display of the external monitor

  Hi all

  Maybe it is (probably) an easy question to answer, but I have a Satellite A660-1FM and want to use it with my external screen Samsung Syncmaster (forgot model). I got a HDMI-> DVI - D adapter and everything is going well, but here's my question:

  The page of specifications of toshiba for my laptop (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A660-1FM/1096013/toshibaShop/false/) shows a capacity of external resolution of:
  Maximum resolution: 2 048 x 1 536
  Max refresh rate: 100 Hz
  Resolution No interlaced with the maximum refresh rate: 1920 x 1 200

  But I get what I call resolution HDMI standard (no wonder, I guess) when connected HDMI-> DVI - D to my external monitor. I have already run this monitor on my desk at highest resolution of 1080 p, so the monitor is capable.
  Wondering what I'm missing here, or is that a matter of graphics card specification is more than possible to the output of the laptop?

  Thanks for any help
  Andy

  Hi Khaled,

  What is the native screen resolution of your external display?
  Can you connect your laptop and monitor with HDMI cable only why you need an adapter?

  To be honest I don't understand your question. If you already have the Full HD screen resolution why do you need more?

• Satellite M30-S309 - certain proportions on external monitor not right

  Hello world.

  I have a Satellite M30-S309 that I just started to use it with an external monitor: a 191EW9 of Philips, which has a maximum resolution of 1368 x 768. The built-in monitor is 16 "; the new external monitor is 18.5 ".
  The computer has the driver for the new monitor, but with a few photos of the proportions are obviously not right.

  Anyone know of any way to solve this problem? Or it's an old computer like this all simply not up to handle this type of monitor?

  A solution would be much appreciated.

  Hello

  Can you please explain what you mean with certain proportions are not suitable?
  You can choose the native screen resolution of the external display or use another resolution of the screen?

  To me that sounds like this, you use a wrong setting. On the screen you can change the width, height and to this day. You should check these options.

• Equium A110-252: the display on the external monitor resolution

  When I connect my LCD TV screen to my new satellite A110-252 using the external monitor port does not fit the image of the (too big) TV screen.

  I've tried everything on orders for establishment of TV screen but no joy. Surely, there must be an option to fit to the screen on satellite? Can anyone help?

  Thank you Perry.

  Hi there, you are using the external monitor port or the S-Video? Unfortunately, if you use the S-video port you can hold all of Office on television because it is technically impossible (without deleting the lines).

  TV less than number of rows than a computer monitor: PAL = 576 visible lines, NTSC = 480 visible lines except if you can pass in 640 x 480 mode 800 x 600 is the best that you can use to display an image on the TV.

• Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

  Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

  Yesterday I did face the following problem:

  I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

  I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

  And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

  Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

  --
  Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

  I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

  > If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

  This sentence is very interesting.
  Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

  It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
  Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

  If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
  Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

• Satellite L500 - 152 Display driver Sims3 plus

  Hello. I use this thing = [Satellite L500-152 | http://nordic.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?LNG=18&service=ND#tab3;] .
  And it was fine, until I came out and me Sims3 and Sims3 World Adventures, after installing both (+ in order correct ofc +), when I tried to start them up, I can not for the game Launcher, because an error message blocks my way...
  "* There was an error during startup. "Check the log for details."
  No info for don't nabs like me, about the location journal. And when you press the button available only here, the frozen Launcher naturally also closes its doors with her.

  So I checked google and found that people who have had the same problem, just changed the display driver to one that is supported by the game, I discovered that mine was not, I have * "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series."

  _Sims3 taken in charge the radeon drivers are: _
  Series ATI Radeon 9500, 9600, 9800, X 300, X 600, X 700, X 800, X 850, X 1300, X 1600, X 1800, X 1900, X 1950, 2400, 2600, 2900, 3450, 3650, 3850, 3870, 4850, 4870, Â Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) GMA series 3 Series 4 GMA.

  If someone could help me, by discovering what driver of the foregoing (as appropriate), will work on this laptop and tell me where to download it, I would be very very very happy :)

  Those who changed the driver perhaps no laptop and desktop computers. There is a big difference.
  Support drivers is much better for desktop computers.

  Problem is that the drivers for laptops are slightly adapted and designed for optimal graphic operations.
  I'm afraid that this with updating the graphics driver will be not so easy.
  It is always recommended to use the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the laptop. With the help of some third part and untested graphics card driver may be forced to run on a maximum and there is risk of damage or surprise. So be careful with this stuff.

• Satellite A135-S4467 - LCD is dim - external monitor is fine

  I can see my desktop if I shine a screen have screen LCD flashlight and if I plug an external monitor everything works fine.
  Programs and everything works I just can not see the screen on the LCD screen.

  I am new to this so if someone can tell me what to check and how to check and fix if possible he greatly appreciated wioyuld.

  If anyone has had the probklem and what have you to do? Where can I find a repair manual or tips and tricks online.
  My warrentry is 2 weeks out of date.

  Thank you in advance.

  > I can see my desktop if I shine a flashlight on the screen LCD and if I plug an external monitor everything works fine.

  This problem resembles a failure of inverter FL.
  The FL inverter is part hidden somewhere close to the screen.
  It controls the backlight of the display.

  I think that this part needs to be replaced.

  In your case, I recommend you contact the ASP in your country. Why?
  Because first of all, you can order these parts to the authorized service partner and second guys could be very useful and may disassemble the laptop and replace the part.

• Dynadock U Display problems on external monitor.

  I have a U Dynadock docking station connected to a laptop of HP Elitebook. I have a 24 "FullHD Viewsonic external monitor connected to the DVI - D port on the Dynadock and a second monitor connected to the VGA port on the laptop. The second monitor works fine but the main monitor connected to the Dynadock is slow to update, I can't use AutoCAD or software playback such as display support will not regenerate properly, in other words each movement leaves a trace and screen ends up a mess, videos on the used media player are not working at all, however if I move the on the second monitor, they work fine.

  The primary monitor is set to the resolution 1920 x 1080.

  The second problem is whenever I restart to start the laptop the primary monitor is at a lower resolution I need to readjust every time. It didn't happen for the first days, I got the Dynadock, but now it happens every time. I downloaded the latest DisplayLink driver but did not help. I also tried to download the latest Dynadock driver but could not get the image of CD ROM to run.

  > The second monitor works fine but the main monitor connected to the Dynadock is slow to update, I can't use AutoCAD or software support of reading such as the display refresh correctly, in other words, each movement leaves a trace and the screen ends up a mess, videos on the used media player work not at all However if I move the on the second monitor, they work fine.

  The Dynadock is connected to the computer via a USB cable to the USB port.
  In my opinion the USB ports are not designed to transfer this large amount of data that are created by a video.

  You can use the Dynadock as part of some office applications, a software, but I doubt it would work properly I watch the video on the external monitor.

• HP Pavilion dv6-7029wm: BIOS display on an external monitor

  Hello

  The screen of my laptop has been broken for quite awhile now and I tried to find a way to be able to view the BIOS on an external monitor.

  I tried pressing f2 and f8, f10 or esc on startup and try using f4 to toggle the display without result.

  As a side note, when I press f10 if I try to press keys f later my computer makes a high-pitched beep, I don't know if this means anything but I feel like it is worth noting. I use an external keyboard, so I don't have a fn key, if all that matters.

  Finally, I tried to disconnect the front lcd screen but my attempts to disassemble my laptop in the past have not exactly well and I do not trust myself without ruining things more far.

  What I can do about it, or am I out of luck?

  I'm afraid you're out of luck when it comes to BIOS on external monitor display. The switch of the F4 does that once the computer is started. Same goes for making a recovery system - several have posted asking how to see recovery on external monitor... screens cannot be done.

  Your Service and Maintenance Guide should help with reeplacing lcd.

• Satellite A215-S7414 - no signal on external monitor

  I have the model A215-S7414 and the LCD screen is broken,
  So now I have a 2nd moniter "run the image" for my laptop

  The image is available by loading microsoft and F2, F8, F12 logos
  However, to start the laptop I always had disable driver signature enforcement to get to the point where I can access Windows

  I hear the laptop that windows has loaded, but the moniter automatically stops and says 'no signal '.
  the monitor is an Emachine E19T6W

  I ran a start-up repair, don't know if it's relevant, but he says
  "unspecified system configuration changes may have caused the problem.

  so, if you please help me.
  I would gladly appreciate it willingly

  Hi mate

  The only option that could be useful in your case is the use of the FN + F5 key combination.
  If this key combination function, you should be able to switch the video output to an external monitor.

  But if the FN + F5 combination doesn't function then I put t see no other workaround to the release of the video on the external monitor, how do you want to change something if you n t see anything on the screen?
