Satellite P500-12D cannot connect to external VGA display

Hello

I have a Toshiba P500-12D and I managed to add VGA lcd screen to watch 2 screens:
The laptop screen & another external LCD screen that I connect to the VGA output.

What should I do? Please help me.

Thank you very much in advance!

Best wishes to you all!
Eli

Hello

The laptop supports a HDMI port and a VGA (RGB) output port.
If you are using VGA output port, then he must connect the two machines (laptop and external monitor) using a VGA cable like this:

After that, it takes to put on the external screen, press FN + F5.
Notes; you have to press FN + F5 until the monitor screen and the external laptop would be chosen.

  • Re: Satellite P500-12F - cannot install the new nVidia display driver

    Good evening

    I'm sorry for stupid question, but I don't know what to do. I have the Satellite P500-12F.

    I tried to download the new graphics drivers for the NVidia card, I went to the site of NVidia and downloaded a new driver, which dates back to December 2009, instead of mine, which is July 2009, however, when I try to install it, the system indicates that Joana does no hardware that is compatible with the new driver.

    Could you tell me, what am I doing wrong? I could use any guidance as well. Thank you very much!

    Hello

    Why you try to use the nVidia display driver? These drivers are not pre-tested on the laptop and installation is at your own risk! In the worst case, you could destroy the graphics chip.

    As Akuma written already using the latest drivers Toshiba because they are pre-tested.

    Why you want to update the display driver? You are not satisfied?
    Remember: never change a running system! ;)

    Hello

    May I ask if you have checked the system requirements for Civilization 4 first? Before you try to play a game, you should check the system requirments. Is the laptop fast enough and very important: the graphics card is compatible with this game?
    Check this box!

    If you meet the system requirements make sure that the latest Toshiba display driver is installed. Don t use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesn t have a protection against overheating.

    And you have installed the latest version of DirectX?

  • Satellite P500-12D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

    Hi there everyone,

    I bought a Satellite P500-12D, which was a return of retail. When I start it up it runs a few minutes and then it appears on the screen:
    WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service.

    Follow the health of toshiba CPU is less than 50% temp and if it goes much higher that the cooling fan turns on and it lowers down and the fan stops again, I noticed that only the fan works r/h to cool the cpu, both should come together? What is a software problem?

    TThe unit is new without even the plastic off the surround screen or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be much appreciated, gary

    Hello

    Which program gives you this error message about the cooling system?

    Before contacting a service partner, as you can read in the error message, you must clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. Maybe dust blocking the fan or something else. Of more to clean up it of not necessary to disassemble.
    Here is an article on this topic: [how to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

    If it doesn't help, contact the nearest service partner.

  • Satellite P500-12D - keyboard backlight?

    Hi there recently bought by Satellite P500-12D and thought he had a backlit keyboard.

    I know that the touch screen on the left turns, but on all comments, images, and videos I've seen of this laptop keyboard has the function to be light from below with the same white color as the other witnesses on the laptop.

    Unfortunately, I do not know how to turn it on?
    So either I am wrong and it doesn't have a backlit keyboard or im just unable to find.

    Could someone tell me please how to activate this feature.
    Any help is very appreciated,

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Not all laptops the keyboard backlight feature supported.

    If your keyboard would support the backlight then you should see a tiny keyboard sign Z button.

    Then you may activate it using the FN + Z button.

    But if there is no keyboard icon and then the keyboard does not support the backlight.

    Hello

    Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

    Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

    Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

  • 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.

  • Satellite Pro A200 cannot connect to the wireless network

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 and Tuesday night I was able to connect to a wireless network. I received an update, rebooted and now it doesn t seem to work.

    I can see the wireless networks available via the Toshiba Radar but cannot connect to my usual wireless network.
    Also, the wireless network icon disappeared from my system tray and if I go to Control Panel/network connections, I can't even view available networks because there is no option to do so.

    Any ideas?
    the FN/F8 will work?
    Help! Please, I beg you!

    Have you tried using System Restore and restore the operating system on time earlier?
    Maybe this will remove the update installed, and you can again use the WLAN.

  • Satellite P500-12D adding 2nd HARD drive

    Toshiba UK say it is not possible to install a second drive in a P500-12D.
    The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    I was also told that the second drive Bay could not be used "on the model" but the sata connection is there and inserts brass threaded in the case of the scree of the carrier are present.

    The Bay is deeper than 1 Bay (for the thicker > 500 GB drives and, therefore, the support unit for the 1st Bay can be used - entire centres are also different.)

    Ideas for a work around?

    Sorry for the spelling mistakes - my original message would not be accepted "your message contains profanity or inappropriate language.
    In the interest of your fellow forum users, we ask you to change your message.
    "but no indication as to where." Maybe it's that the things happening in the threaded inserts are not allowed

    Peter K

    > The reason seems to be that the "bowl" for the second disk drive carrier is not sold.
    The reason is that there are different configurations of P500
    The P500 and other series of Toshiba laptops are equipped with different motherboards.
    Not all motherboards support 2 HARD drive controllers.

    This can be a bit confusing for someone buying a laptop and see the second HARD drive Bay, but if you would remove the 2nd HARD drive Bay cover, then you will see that there is no HARD drive connector.
    This means that you will not be able to use the second HARD drive.

  • Satellite C660D - Windows cannot connect WIFI

    Model C660D with Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC versio = 1005.24.712.2011 is not able to connect to the Wlan router. It is said after giving the WEP key that "Windows cannot connect. Clearly the wireless network card is on, it is visible in Device Manager ("works"), power for Win7 options do not play any role, the connection cable for the same router works, other computers as well as mobile phones are able to connect, reset the router does not help, Wlan driver is just updated (see the above version number).

    The router is Cellpipe 7130 RG and works well with other computers.

    The problem seems to be in communication with the router, but where and how to solve?

    Can you connect if you disable WLAN encryption in your router?

  • Satellite C660-1CZ cannot connect to my wireless router

    Hello comrades,.

    I have a problem to connect to my wireless router.
    We have 3 notebooks here at home, and all are able to connect.
    But my Toshiba laptop cannot connect. I don't know why...
    The latest drivers are installed for RTL8188CE.
    I'm sure it's the latest driver from 2011.

    My operating system is Windows7.
    I bought yesterday and tried everthing to connect with my easybox 802.
    I also changed some settings on the router.
    Can someone help me pls?

    On other laptops, the SSID of the router's Easybox-D77327, but my Toshiba shows just Easybox-D57327.
    Its not the same SSID but the router is good.
    In my view, the problem is that my laptop shows me a bad SSID of the router, but how to solve the problem...?

    You have the same problem when using the AC power mode and battery as well?
    Can you connect to the router if WLAN is not secure?

  • 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
