Satellite Pro U200 - external VGA monitor shows no output

I bought this unit, such as used on ebay. It works fine except that the external VGA connection does not work. I'm on win 7 and I it does not recognize the external display properly and I can set it up as an expanded view. However the external display shows nothing. The external VGA display is fine because it works with other machines to laptop. I tried to use UBUNTU Live CD on this machine and tried to do the work of the external screen (and it also can recongize the external display and configure it) but there is no picture. I also connected the screen external vga port and then rebooted the machine, but still no picture. I tried to change the settings in the bios for both display, but all my actions point to a hardware failure.

I don't know if it's a manufacturing defect? Do you know if this problem has been reported earlier for you. Y at - it a recall issued for this?
Please advise I need to connect this external screen but am sure it's a fault of equipment with your device.

Hey Buddy,

Have you tried it with the factory settings? I mean the Windows preinstalled from Toshiba with all drivers and tools. If you have the Toshiba Recovery disk you boot from that disk and install Windows with all the drivers and tools.

In addition, you can switch between internal and external monitor by using the FN + F5 key combination. It work?

  • How to connect a macbook pro retina to an external VGA monitor

    I have a MacBook Pro of the retina on OS X El Capitan 10.11.3 running. Previously, I could connect a previous MacBook Pro (late 2009) to an external VGA monitor. I was told on the Apple store I could use the mini display in a Flash port dongle to connect to a VGA cable, but when I tried this, the monitor could not get a signal. Is there another dongle I should use? I have a HDMI cable which I assume will work with most modern projectors, but I really want to go to this old VGA monitor for editing in iMovie.

    If you go to  > System Preferences > displays made outside monitor to see the place? You want to make sure that the mirror/extension development is enabled. Also, how old is your MacBook Pro?

  • Satellite Pro U200: Display Resolution changed to 1024 x 768, after sleep (Vista)

    I have some problems with my Satellite Pro U200 (WinVista, BIOS 3.50, Display Driver 7.14.10.1217).

    After the exit mode standby, the display shows the correct resoluion of 1280 x 800 for a second and then goes to 1024 x 768. It's very annoying.

    I tried to uninstall / reinstall the display driver, but it did not help.

    Does anyone have an idea?

    Well, I remember a similar problem happened on U200 with Windows XP and Windows XP MCE.
    The update of the graphics to the version 6.14.10.4543 driver has solved this strange switching

    Maybe the next update of the graphics card driver will clear this issue

  • Satellite Pro U200: My safe file does not open

    Hello
    Running XP Pro on a computer Satellite Pro U200, I have installed Norton Ghost 10 (after a lot of difficulties that I had to uninstall Norton anti-siphoning I've ever used on the machine).

    Subsequently the 'My Safe' folder does not open. Normally when double clicking it asks a fingerprint or a backup password but now it shows just an hourglass for a millisecond and then's there!

    Can anyone tell what he might have to get this service running the settings?
    Best regards, Robert

    Hey Buddy,

    may I ask what 'secure record' this is? This file has been accidentally created by Norton Protection System?
    So you have this fingerprint software which manages your fingerprint and your access in the system, etc., etc... ; have you checked if something in this software changed?
    A trial might reconfigure these programs.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - hard drive upgrade

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro U200-128 and you want to upgrade the hard drive. I can't find detailed specifications to show me the compatibility, drive type and therefore the size of a disc that I can buy.
    I think that its SATA, but there is a lot of info on SATAII, not sure if it will work in my model?

    Any help appreciated

    Hi ollieg72,

    You re right. Satellite Pro U200 already uses the HARD drive with SATA interface if you need a HARD SATA 2.5. In addition, it should be possible to use every ability because on SATA interface, there is no capacity limit.

    Anyway, SATAII HDD is also working because they are compatible to the old interface of SATA1 downgrade. So it makes no difference if the HDD is SATAII interface or not. ;)

  • No sound after installing Windows 7 on Satellite Pro U200

    Hello

    I just installed Windows 7 Professional on my Satellite Pro U200 10 p.

    Available for XP Pro.

    Sound has stopped working since the new facility (which fromatting the drive - no partition) and can not find a solution. The v6.10.1.6000 of SoundMAX Integrated Digittal HD Audio Driver is installed. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times, but this doesn't seem to be the right driver. I can't find info to tell me what the correct driver can be either. The Toshiba site is a little sparse on Windows 7 drivers for this model and gives no indication that the driver may be is.

    Windows 7 does not think that there is a problem and some reports that "this device works properly." in speaker properties > Configuration information dialog box. However not coming out, the speakers or the 3.5 mm jack

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Thank you

    James

    Hello

    Go to Device Manager and check what sound chip you have exactly:

    Use this statement:
    [How to identify an unknown device? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78]

    Then you should be able to find a good pilot.
    I also recommend remove/delete the sound card in Device Manager.
    Just select the audio remove card and press on, and then restart the laptop

    PS: Are you sure that the sound is not muted? Please check this too!

  • Upgrade SSD on Satellite Pro U200

    Hello!

    I have a laptop (Satellite Pro U200-PLUA1E-00X007HU of the v3.70 win7 32-bit bios), I want to upgrade with a series of Samsung 830 64 GB SSD. I read that the SSD need AHCI mode. My laptop supports AHCI mode? What can I change in the bios before installing the new storage?

    Thanks for the help!

    Robert

    Hello

    I see you're confused
    First, he must know that the laptop supports the SATA controller.
    This means that you must use hard drives SATA or SATA SSD.

    Second: AHCI means SATA some BIOS supports only a SATA mode, and you can switch between compatible (IDE) mode and AHCI (SATA) mode.

    If this switch is not available in the BIOS mode is always set to AHCI.

    However, to SSD drive question:
    I put t really no problem using an SSD.
    It must function as the SATA controller support

  • Satellite Pro U200 - DC jack is broken

    I was wondering if you guys can help me because I broke the dc jack on my laptop, its load only when the pin of the charger is in it at a certain angle and I can actually feel the plug into my laptop so moving is not the charger. I tried searching on the internet but without success because I don't know the part number, and even if I put the serial number on the website of his not really give me the part number and may cause toshiba do more :(
    Now I'm looking for power supply for Satellite Pro U200-199

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. only thing, I had an experience at the hardware level, but not very good with soldering, should weld or not it comes with the wire that can be clicked into place.

    Thank you

    In the past, I found several threads where people have reported the same issue but on the different model of laptop. Obviously some of them have done a good job and repaired only.
    To find the DC jack is not a problem.

    You can find it on eBay and it is cheap. Put in google DC jack U200 and you will find it.

    Problem is that any computer laptop must be disassembled and new connector soldered to the right place.
    Can you do this?
    I want to say if you n t have experience with this stuff don t touch anything and ask for professional help.

  • Satellite Pro U200: unable to update BIOS to v.3.70 - WIN

    Model No.: Satellite Pro U200 PLUA1E
    OS: Vista Business SP2
    Current BIOS: v. 3.50

    Try to update the BIOS to v3.70

    When I run P0044v370, I get a Windows Script Host message:

    "Script:
    C:\ProgramData\Toshiba\Common\_cabBDF1.tmp\autoExe c.vbe
    Line: 2
    Char: 1
    Error: Failed to create object named 'WScript.Shell '.
    Code: 8007007E
    "Source: WScript.CreateObject".

    I want to update the BIOS before the upgrade from 1 GB to 4 GB of memory. Also my U200 Pro keeps crashing and whenever before it restarts, I get a message saying something like "try to install the latest version of the BIOS" (it is not on the screen very long sorry can't be more accurate).

    I don't have have the recovery CD, I'm trying to boost performance because it runs very slowly.

    Everything is - I am in your forum people good hands! Thanks in advance.

    You have what Windows OS installed.
    It is Win XP?

    Update the BIOS needs an installation of the common Modules, so don't forget not that the common Modules are installed or this software update.
    The CM is on the page of the European driver Toshiba

    In addition, the P0044v370.exe unpacks the package I recommend creating a folder on the desktop and to decompress the files in P0044v370.exe first. Then move to this new folder and run the exe file in the folder.

  • Need new battery for Satellite Pro U200-182

    Hello

    I m needing help on the purchase of new battery for Toshiba Satellite Pro U200 - 182
    No model origin. what I found on old battrey is PA3356U - 3BRS with parameters: DC10.8V - 4700mAh

    When I tried searching on the web I found that this trick
    http://smart-parts.NET/bsearch.php?brand=Toshiba&name=satellite%20PRO&SER ie = U200% 20Black & model = U200-182

    I would like to ask if I can buy it (if this battery will be compatible) and also if its possible to buy the battery longer "life."

    Thank you for the help

    I found the info that for your laptop model there are two types of battery only:
    PA3356U-3BAS
    PA3356U-3BRS

    So if you use Google and put these numbers, you should be able to find an online store where you can buy these compatible batteries.
    By the way: link you posted is OK and I don't see the reason why you shouldn't order of it. It is listed as compatible.

    To extend the life, you need battery with more cells and ability, but it is unfortunately not available for your laptop model.
