Satellite Pro L20 external monitor as the primary device?

Hello.

I want to configure my computer to use an external monitor, it works very well to extend the desktop on the external monitor as one long section.
But what I want is to use the external monitor as the primary device and the display on the laptop as secondary and extended desktop part. These choice is already in the prperties of the configuration screen in windows xp, but they does not work.
Is there som kind of updated driver or utility separated to resolve this problem?

RGS.

    The Toshiba recovery disc can t be downloaded. If you want a new drive, you must contact an authorized service provider. Maybe they can order a new one for you.

    Alternative you take Microsoft Windows disk and install the operating system for this disk. After that, you can download all the drivers and tools on the Toshiba site. It takes a little longer and it s not so uncomfortable.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - I can identify the right recovery disk?

    Hi all

    I wonder if there is a way to identify what recovery CD or DVD came with a particular laptop model?

    I have a number of Toshiba laptops and it is that recently that I started to write a note that's CD/DVD with a machine.
    for example
    GMR400788EN0 goes with Satellite Pro A200 PSAE4E-03U017EN

    I'm trying to figure out which CD is going with a Satellite Pro L20, PSL25E-00800CEN

    Thank you
    Ian

    Hello

    Sorry, but I think that there is no way to identify which CD belongs to what laptop.
    If your laptop comes with the recovery disk it should be a CD label or so on it.

    Anyway, it shouldn't be a problem, and you should test if it s the right recovery disk.
    Or you have so many Toshiba laptops? ;)

  • Satellite Pro A660 - extended monitor on the left?

    I have some trouble getting the extended screen (2) to be positioned on the left side of my laptop A660:

    I have my new Toshiba (thanks to his monitor, call Lap1) set to the right of my big external flat screen (Ext2).

    In the nVidia control panel, I have the options like in the screenshot, that allows the Ext2 sit to the right of the Lap1, which means that my mouse goes to the Ext2 on the other side (the right side) of the monitor Lap1...

    Is there a way to get the Ext2 and Lap1 monitors (see screenshot: http://i53.tinypic.com/i39myd.jpg) to the position of the switch for my Lap1 is extended to the LEFT with Ext2?

    Any help much appreciated!

    HL

    Hello

    > Is there a way to get the Ext2 and Lap1 monitors the position of the switch so my Lap1 by Ext2 is extended to the LEFT

    To be honest, I don't know if it's possible to m.
    I n t have a laptop but the A660 and the external monitor is also connected to this laptop. I use the extended so desktop but eat t n for this scope on the left side.
    But I have an Intel graphics card. Even if the GPU driver has been updated, the Office may be extended to the right only.

    But I managed to make my external monitor as the MAIN monitor and the laptop as secondary display monitor.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - how to activate the new device LAN card?

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 and I replaced the card with an Intel 5100 (512AN_MMW) wireless and it detects OK and installs the drivers etc, but it does not work because he says that the switch is turned off on the front of the laptop. The switch is on I also tried pressing fn + f8, but it still does not work.

    Kind regards.

    Hi evo8.

    What card WLAN have you had before and do the work of a former?
    I think that it of difficult to say why it doesn t work but maybe this card is not compatible.

    By the way: do other FN keys FN + F8 work or simply not?

  • Satellite Pro L300 - external monitor has a yellow tint to the screen

    I have connected a new external monitor to my Sat Pro L300 and the monitor of the station has a strong tinge of yellow to the display.
    I have tried with other monitors and cables and they do the same screen that is yellow.

    Can anyone suggest what I can do, I tried to change all the color settings, but they don't get rid of the yellow tint.
    Thank you.

    Well, maybe this problem is related to the failure of hardware since will have to show common colors without changing the settings in the color settings in the graphics card Control Panel

    In my opinion this s hardware problem
    However, before I ask a technician for advice I recommend updated the BIOS and reinstall the graphics driver.

  • Satellite Pro A60: External monitor Shimmers

    I use an A60 Pro of the Satellite with a second screen (tft) as a dual display configuration. There is a very sensitive landscape shimmer that moves on the screen when viewing images or the dark backgrounds on the second monitor.

    I tried the monitor on another machine and it is very good, so I can assume there is a problem with the laptop or the ATI graphics card.

    If anyone can help me solve this problem, I would be very grateful, because it gives me a headache (literally!).

    Looks like you need to change the frequency (refresh rate) with the display settings screen. The internal monitor has a 60 Hz frequency (refresh rate), more external monitors are 80 Hz or 100 Hz. Now if you have the wrong settings of the external monitor will refresh at the same pace as internally, which gives a brilliant image. You must go to the display settings, select the 2nd monitor, goto advanced settings, and then monitor and change the refresh rate to say 100 Hz, try this.

    I hope your problem

  • Toshiba R100: External monitor as the primary display device

    Hello

    I would like very much to have my 17 "external monitor (1280 x 1024) selected as main display device, unfortunately, the option is grayed out in the display settings.

    Moreover, I want to run 1280 x 1024 on the built-in-monitor and the external monitor and then turn off the built in monitor, but it does not seem possible either; the resolution changes again in 1024 x 768, when I try to turn the desktop on the external monitor.

    I've updated the display driver.

    I hope someone can help.

    Niels Grau

    Hello

    AFAIK the Portege R100 has only 1024 * 768 under more resolution. It is therefore impossible to put the two monitors to 1280 * 1024. Sorry!

    Tried FN + F5 keys to change the output screen?

    Download and update the display of the latest driver and check if it solves the problem or not.
    The display driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - right button on the touchpad does not work

    I have a Sat Pro L20.
    When I press the right button on the touchpad, nothing happens. The left button works fine.
    I checked the properties of the mouse left button is set as the main click with the right button, defined as the secondary click.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe the touchpad button has a physical malfunction.
    But first of all, you can try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad. Check if the resettlement will change something. But the truth; I don t think this will solve the problem. Anyway, try is free, you know.

    But if that does not help so I think you need to replace the touchpad.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - no sound from the front speakers

    I just bought the laptop L20. Everything works fine apart from the front speakers. I don't get all the sounds on their part. Sound works very well since the head phone jack. I ran that the Toshiba diagnostic test and has not made all the sounds either. In the volume control window each volume slider is up and the Mute check boxes are checked. The obvious problem only in the window volume control which is the "PC Speaker" section is grayed out and cannot be selected. I installed the latest version of BIOS and drivers audio Toshiba Web site but not joy. Am I missing something obvious here? Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello

    If the sound works fine through headphones so I guess we're all ok with the onboard sound.
    There may be a malfunction of the speaker. If the laptop is under warranty all replacements are performed free of charge.
    The speakers are not very expensive and you should ask the service to help him.

  • Satellite Pro L20 running Vista has the formidable problem code 12

    I try to get my L20 to use all cards PCMCIA with Vista, but I get the dreaded 12 code problem.
    Y at - it a patch for this problem? I know some Toshiba must have a Vista BIOS works correctly, but there doesn't seem to be one for the L20.

    P.S. cards will work perfectly under XP. Server 2008 also has the same problem.

    You should maybe contact the card manufacturer and ask for help. They are responsible for the functionality of the card and not the manufacturer of the laptop.
    They write clearly that it should work with Vista. So contact them and ask for help.
    They should have enough experience with the configuration and the use of own products.

    Also, I assume that they tested the functionality of the map before they we offered on the market.

  • Satellite Pro L20 charge query

    Hi, have a Satellite Pro L20. LED on the front of the laptop shows full battery (LED is green), "feed icon" on the screen shows the battery with virtually no load (16%), unit said "Recharge" but "%" battery does not increase.
    When I remove the charger, battery falls '&' as the battery discharges. All clever people out there with any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hey,.

    If you already tried different batteries, it appears to be a malfunction of the loading/control unit on the motherboard itself.

    I think this case you can do anything and you need professional help of an authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop and solve this problem.

  • Satellite Pro L20 - overheating of the power cable

    Hello

    For several months, I had problems with the keys suddenly works intermittently. Although brushing under the keys with a toothbrush relieved the problem for awhile it obviously was not the main cause. Each time, so not attributable to each of the keys of damaged to different keys.

    When unplugging the power cable from the metal part is very hot, and I worked on the problem of keys occurs only when the computer is running on a/c AND the battery is fully charged. In other words, no problem on the battery or recharging. The adapter is also hot, but guess that's 'normal '.

    The power cable has been tested directly from another outlet and not ongoing execution of the usual belkin surge protector, external sources seem so plotted on. I tried to find another cable/adapter to test but living very rural location of doubt this will be possible or practical.

    The fan seems to work OK, the air coming out of the side is very hot. It does not appear to be clogged with dust. Also, the area of the laptop above the fan heats up.

    Sometimes the computer crashes on black or blue screen (on iplayer lately, maybe other progs too) but the noise continues. I turned off by pressing the button for 5 seconds, but he still works for a while. I guess from overheating. But not some of it is always on a/c-do not charge, it may be on a/c-charge as well.

    Sometimes the computer seems confused if he is re-load, on a/c or battery. At least the icon switches and requires a session to unplug the device before doing things.

    Other times it is the machine of Angel since last two years! It's a Satellite Pro L20, the adapter's clover LiteOn 65W, 19V 3. 42 a. part PA3396E-1ACA (what I see is no longer available).

    Searched through but not found any similar problem, but hope someone can advise me what to do next!
    Thanks in advance

    Hello Robin

    It doesn't sound good. According to the specifications of the laptop, you have the right AC adapter. In my opinion you should contact the partner of service authorized in your country. Make a call and I hope they can help you how to handle this issue.

    It is also possible that they can send you new power adapter. Make a call and explain the situation. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

    Good luck!
