T530 multiple display configuration

I have the T530 with NVIDIA Optimus option that should allow a triple (two external displays and laptop LCD) display configuration.

I was able to get a job with computer configuration portable LCD and two external displays on DisplayPort through the docking station.

I found on some startup programs, I'm either stuck with just the laptop LCD as the view-only or that I am able to turn on a single screen. Sometimes a reboot it will change, sometimes it won't.

What is strange, is that the NVIDIA Control Panel and the Windows display settings show all three screens LCD, I'm not able to turn on one or both of the external screens (even if I turn off the laptop LCD).

Someone at - he found a solution to this problem?

Thank you!

Hi, admarsha

There are available for your BIOS and Optimus updates that can help with this. The update of the BIOS can be found here and the Optimus update can be found here. Research on the file Readme for the Nvidia update, part of the update help issues related to several screens via a docking station, so it may be useful.

Best,

Adam

  • Multiple display on N500

    Thanks for your suggestions

    Normal laptop, you would hang on the second screen to the back of the unit. Then watch you F key. F5 usually has a top screen. Press f5 and must be changed. Again and you can end up with two screens to work.

    Good luck and may not be the f5 key, you see that we have monitors on it.

  • Vista will not recognize the projector connected for multiple display

    I'm under a system dual boot with Windows XP and Vista.  When running under XP, I doesn't hurt to connect a projector to my laptop and extend the desktop on the projector for meetings and others.

    When I am running Vista, it does not even recognize that the projector is connected.  However, once I have connected the projector, if I reboot the system, it will then display on the projector.  If I disconnect the projector, the screen does not reappear on the screen of the laptop, I have to restart, with the projector removed for office reappear on the screen of the laptop.  I'm hoping to get multiple monitors to work with Vista, as it does in my XP boot.

    For the purpose of the next presentation running in XP is not an option.

    Hi cptrigeek

    Try these steps and check if that helps:

    Method 1: We can try to perform a power cycle of the projector.

    Remove the cable from the power of the projector and this continues for 5-10 minutes. Also do the same for the laptop, Dungeon, it off. Then put back in place and start the projector. Now, start the laptop as well. Connect now. Now, you will need to install the driver for it (if there is one). After which, you need to configure the settings of the laptop.

    Method 2: Check the following steps:

    1. connect the projector to your Windows PC. NOTE: the following steps apply if you use your PC in MIRROR mode only.

    2. on the screen of the computer, right CLICK on the desktop and select Properties.

    3. click on the SETTINGS tab. If you want that your displays in mirror (what you see on laptop, it's what the public sees) you must make sure that the box "extend my desktop to this monitor" is DISABLED. If you see a box of "mirroring", remember to check it out.

    4. drag the slider to 1024 x 768 screen. As a general rule, the external monitor may limit this parameter. If your screen is higher, it might not display on the projector, then you want to test this until you're ready to take the floor. Drag the color to highest (32 bit) if available or medium (16 bit) quality if the first is not available.

    5. now select FN and press the function key. This key is usually given by a small screen icon, the CRT/LCDtext and is usually found on F8 or F5 even. Press the appropriate operation button ONCE and wait. After a few seconds, the second screen should light up. Be patient, it may take up to 5 seconds. On the projector, it may take up to 10 seconds for the projector to detect your system and switch. Note: a second press of this function (in general) will switch to monitor EXTERNAL only. A third press stop INTERNAL onlyand the circle for each push after that. Also note that some laptops can do this sequence in a different order, so learn your system so that you can quickly to the desired mode.

    6. click on the ADVANCED button. If 'apply the new settings to display without restarting' is not selected, select it. Under screen refresh rate, select 60 Hz. click APPLY and CONFIRM the choice. Click OK to close the ADVANCED options dialog. Close the display properties dialog box. You should now see a mirroring of your monitor on the second monitor.

    7. test: A test, disconnect the second monitor. put your mobile PC to sleep. He wakes up and let it fully come (login if necessary), and then reconnect the external monitor. On some machines, he needs to quickly display the screen in the last known state (you may need to wait up to 10 seconds). If it is not correctly displayed, press the switch function, ONCE. Yet once, note that it can take up to 10 seconds to view, so be patient. If only the projector display now, some pressure on the function switch key should provide for both screens again. If you can't get the projector to display, check all your connections and settings above.

    8 Note that when you use the projector, after pressing the function for changing the monitor button, it may take up to 10 seconds for the monitor find and block on your machine. Just wait. Pressing on the keys new fkey can simply ruin your settings or turn off the projector.

    9. not all laptops work the same way. Please make sure you learn how your work before you get to your presentation.

    (Not mirrored)

    1. If you do NOT want mirrored poster (display of different internal and external), CHECK the box next to the line that reads "extend my Windows desktop to this monitor." This SHOULD result in the external monitor display an image which is an EXTENSION of the current desktop.

    2. in the settings dialog box, the internal monitor appears as a '1' and externally as a '2 '. Click ONCE on the '2 '.

    3. with '2' selected, drag the Screen Resolution slider to the left or to the right until the resolution reads "1024 x 768". Also affect the quality of the highest (32-bit color) if available or average (16 bit) if the first is not available.

    4. click on the ADVANCED button. If 'apply the new display settings without restarting' is not selected, select it.

    5. Select the MONITOR tab. Under screen refresh rate, select 60 Hz. click APPLY and CONFIRM the choice. Click OK to close the ADVANCED dialog box. Your system is now set for an extended desktop. When it is connected to the screen, you may need to use the function switch key to turn once more on this option, but on systems that I tested, the extended desktop comes just when the monitor is connected. Yet once, I suggested some tests with this mode of knowing how your laptop will perform when connected to an external monitor before coming to speak.

    6. notes that, in this mode, items moved to the extended desktop can be "lost" it if the external monitor is disconnected because they live on the extended desktop is no longer available. Also note that if the extended desktop is turned on, this part of funds 'second' can continue to live, which means that the cursor and the object can be moved off the screen in this sector and not be visible on a single internal monitor. To resolve this problem, do a right-click on the desktop, select Properties, select settings, click on the '2' box and UNCHECK the extend option. Items left on the extended desktop should now align the right edge of the internal display.

  • Dual display configuration

    I think I have 2 monitors for my next PC. However, the question I have is that I want the primary monitor to be right and the second monitor to be on the left. That means I want the start menu and taskbar on the right screen. There is no way for me to test now if that goal is achievable. Is it possible to configure this in Windows 7?

    The main display has to get the taskbar - http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/10388-display-change-main-display.html

    Additional information - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/move-windows-between-multiple-monitors#1TC=windows-7

    But there seems to be a limit in certain circumstances - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2002029/en-us

    There are 3rd party apps (I have not tried) that can put a taskbar on each monitor if the worst happens. Applications like - http://www.howtogeek.com/94920/dual-monitor-taskbar-is-an-open-source-taskbar-extender-for-windows-7/ there are others. As I say I did not tried them so not say how good or bad they are.

  • Satellite Pro P100 - multiple display after Exchange screen problem

    My laptop: Toshiba Satellite Pro PSPA6A-028017 with Nvidia GeForce Go 7900GS

    OK, here's the story. I turned on my laptop about a week ago and the screen is blank. I plugged in a monitor external via AVI and tried Fn + F5, but nothing. When the computer reboots, the external screen worked. When I tried to turn on/off displays the external monitor is turned off and I found myself with an empty screen - I was obviously spent on screen of the laptop but working blind, I couldn't work out how to get the external monitor to start again. FN + F5 did nothing.

    At that point, I called Toshiba for the support of the warranty (on-site, next business day). They had a technician with new monitor/display on site the next day (after a few calls me to follow up). It has replaced the screen but struggled to lift the screen up and running. He finally managed to logon Windows safe mode and get running but only display on 800 x 600. It has updated the Bios and drivers. He could then up to the 1024 x 768 resolution. Highest and the screen would be left empty.

    At that time we plugged in an external monitor via VGA. It worked, but the technician couldn't get the each display to run on each resolution. He left him speechless and he acknowledged that things still are not good. Later, after that the technician had left, I managed to get views working so each to their own resolution. However, I could not always connect the external monitor via DVI (VGA only). I was at least temporarily to work!

    The next morning that I turned the laptop on to find that I was back was started. No display on the laptop and on the external monitor only low resolution. It seems that the external monitor is simply cloning which should show the computer screen.

    Under the display properties > settings the display shows:
    1. (multiple screens) on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS
    2 Dell G2410 (Analog) on NVIDIA GeForce Go 7900 GS

    I know that when everything is working properly, he said not many monitors. The only screen I see is the Dell external monitor. And when I identify the Dell screen is no 1, even if it's not listed number 2.

    I don't know anything about the cards video etc, but a theory I have is that adapter is defective and is only show the analog signal. That is why I think that the screen of the laptop and external monitor (connected via DVI) works not done the external monitor connected via VGA (but it seems to be imitating the screen of the computer, allowing only the laptop screens range of resolution). Is that possible?

    Someone at - it ideas? The problem is likely to be the video card? I'm puzzled. I'll have to get the technician on the spot back (which will probably still 2 days and several calls, follow-up) and I don't want to lose any time. I have a business to run and I have now lost a weeks work already. If I can offer some strong theories before the technician comes on the spot, sometimes we can get parts ordered in advance.

    My warranty expires in a few weeks, so obviously I want this fixed correctly in the shortest time. I don't want to wait 2 days for a technician to come and have to wait another day or two for parts.

    Help, please!

    Thank you
    Ghjghj

    It is not easy to offer the correct answer and explanation why this happens here on the forum. In laptop cases should be tested with diagnostic tools to ensure that what is the problem.
    OK, exchange of display was a step in the right direction but, of course, this question is more complicated and doesn t happen due to the defective screen only.

    I agree with Akuma and also thinking that there must be a hardware problem on the motherboard. Before the expiration of the warranty, you should contact the service again and let check portable equipment.
    The fact is, if there is that no book of hardware malfunction should work fine preinstalled with delivered recovery image (Toshiba CD/DVD recovery facilities).

    Please, don't wait too long and contact ASAP. They check your laptop. the warranty is still valid and your laptop needs to be repaired.

    Good luck!

  • How to lock the desktop icons in a multiple monitor configuration

    Original title: lock the desktop icons - and display

    Working with Windows 7 Home Premium has a problem processing 2 pieces: no matter how many times I said I want the display screen appears on the monitor, the screen of the computer, every day he arbitrarily returns to the computer screen only. That creates the 2nd problem: the desktop icons that I have arranged for the largest monitor rearrange themselves to adapt to the computer screen. Is there a way I can lock the icons in this position that I used to be able to do? Or is it possible that I can keep the display to go back to the computer screen? (I'm careful to apply the instructions to display before the specified seconds elapse).

  • Problem with the extended help display option for multiple displays.

    I have a laptop with an internal (#1) designated as my screen main screen. At work, I like to use the 'extended display' option for several screens to use the external desktop as #2 display monitor. However, at home I have the screen internal one on my laptop. So when I open an application like Excel at home, the window does not appear, but the application is running, as I confirmed with the Task Manager. So far, the only way I know to solve this problem at home is to change my display settings for multiple views to show on display #1 only. Is there a practical way to deal with this issue in addition to change the display settings whenever I move from work to home and vice versa?

  • Start bar begins on a bad office in a multiple monitor configuration.

    I have my Windows 7 Home Premium machine series upwards with two monitors extended desktop display. I'm having a problem where sometimes, when I restart the computer, the start menu begins on the secondary display even if the icons are correctly located on the main display. I have to disable the secondary display and reactivate to solve this problem. It's extremely annoying; y at - it a fix for this problem?

    Rather than the deactivation and reactivation of the secondary display, follow these steps:

    1 - Check that the second screen is defined as primary in the resolution options.

    2 - the next time you experience the misplaced taskbar, unlock the taskbar (by clicking on the right) and then dragging it to the correct location.  The taskbar will remember this post - that it cannot do when it is placed automatically during the installation of multiple monitors.

    I think to buy a new iMac to double as a work computer and a media center. Can I connect a 2nd monitor split screen and also the iMac hooked up to my TV to watch media. Also can the iMac screen turn off while the TV is the main screen?

    Audit of the new iMacs technical specification,

    21 "include at least:

    "Support simultaneous native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 x 2160 pixels on an external monitor.

    "Extended support to desktop and video mirroring modes.
