• Tecra M5 - external monitor detected but not image

  Hello

  I just bought Tecra M5 for use with my external NEC monitor. However, regardless of the configuration, I try I get no image on the monitor. The LED on the monitor indicates that it receives the signal from the laptop but the monitor remains black pitch. The monitor works obviously very well, I just disconnected from another laptop.

  I tried all possible settings in the nVidia control panel, but without success. I also changed "Power On Display" in the BIOS "Screen LCD + Analog RGB" but no luck either.

  I have v.3.70 of BIOS and graphics card drivers v.7.15.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you
  Mike

  PS When I press Fn + F5, I have no options to choose from, unlike the other FN +... combinations. I don't know that it should be everything, but it is perhaps worth mentioning.

  Also when I select only 'use a view' of the nVidia control panel and select my NEC monitor in the list, the monitor turns on and the light turns green, but the screen is still black. Like I can't accept changes the output switches to the computer screen after a few seconds.

  Hello

  I think you should test with the preinstalled Toshiba operating system.
  After that the laptop was recovered, connect the external monitor and use the FN + F5 in order to detect the external display.

• Tecra A9 - external monitor black after closing lid

  Greetings, I looked for answers to this but can't find so far.

  I have a Tecra A9.

  My problem: I have an external display connected. Sometimes, when I get to work in the morning and open the lid of my laptop the monitor to the laptop and external monitor are black. I can restore the laptop using the shortcut key screen, but no matter what I can not do the external monitor to view anything until I restart. I tried turning power off and then on, by disconnecting and then reconnecting the data cable.

  I leave my machine all the time, do not turn off during the night. I have the ability to shut down/hibernate/suspend on closing the lid off.
  I have disabled all the management of the power supply for the monitor so that it turns off by windows.

  I am running Vista 32 bit Ultimate Business and have a Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family. I checked Toshiba site for the latest version of the video driver Vista and have the latest installed. By checking on the Intel site, I learned that I have a custom Setup and you me advised to go to the provider's site for the latest version of the driver.

  This problem occurs only occasionally and I failed to pin what make it even except what happens sometimes all night, maybe after I have use connection remote desktop to access the remote machine.

  I think I might have a problem with the video card hardware, but of course I can't prove anything.

  Does anyone have any ideas as to how I test more?
  Thank you.

  Try to update to other drivers, such as the package added Toshiba.

  Updated the BIOS and try a new installation of Windows (run recovery) if possible.

• Tecra A9 - external monitor shows scratches during the use of the computer laptop pluged.

  Hello

  I heard at least Tecras A9 product witch scratches on the external display only 3 when the laptop is pluged. When you use the laptop with the battery, the monitor works fine. they tried to divide the monitor and power cables as far as possible, but still the same problem. When you use the laptop with a non-toshiba-AC adapter, the external monitor works fine.

  Hello

  In my opinion, you should visit the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. They can plug in your Tecra external monitors and test. If the result is the same, I am sure that you will get free AC adapter replacement.

  Do not wait and discuss the days here. Contact with them and I hope they help you.

• Tecra M5: External monitor flickers - grounded question?

  Hello

  I just bought a new Acer Full HD LCD Monitor (P244W) and have tried to connect on my Tecra M5 VGA port.
  It works, but there is a noticeable and more annoying flicker. I tried with XP (SP3) and now Vista (SP1) and it happens for both. I have the latest BIOS and NVidia drivers. The actual laptop LCD screen still works fine, it's just the external screen that flickers.

  To make sure that there is nothing wrong with the monitor, I plugged the ATI video card VGA port on my desktop pc and it displays fine without flickering.

  After completing the web for people with similar problems, I narrowed down it to her being caused by my power adapter with a grounding problem as the flicker disappears as soon as I unplug the AC adapter and just run the battery. It seems the solutons common to this problem are:

  (1) try some different VGA cables with better shielding against interference.
  I tried this and it made no difference. I tried cables with or without the magnet ferrite/Starter thing at both ends of the cable and the flicker remained.

  (2) try the different screen resolutions and refresh rate.
  Tried to adjust some lower resolutions, but the twinkle remained (not to mention that I prefer to keep the native resolution of 1920 x 1080 for my monitor). The NVidia driver allows only 60 Hz refresh rate at 1920 x 1080, so I couldn't change that.

  (3) make sure that the computer laptop AC adapter / CC and the monitor are connected to the same wall jack and are on the same power expansion card.
  Tried, but it does not solve.

  (4) run an extension cord to another circuit of power supply in my house and to the AC adapter and the monitor of this to see if its something wrong with the wall socket using im.
  I tried connecting to a wall in my laundry, but does not resolve it.

  (5) try using a different power expansion card and nothing else is connected on the power adapter and the monitor.
  Tried, but it does not solve.

  (6) get a pin 3 to 2-prong adapter, so the power adapter is connected to the Earth is no longer.
  Most of the people on the web seem to say this corrects the problem, but I don't know how it is safe to leave this way long term. Especially, when stories of mobile phones capture the fire are multiplying.

  (7) get an adapter to generic brand as they sometimes solve the problem better than the Toshiba power adapter grounding.
  Yet once again, I would avoid this option rather than even the most generic brands cost dear.

  (8) remove the battery and run its own from the AC adapter.
  Tried, but it does not solve.

  9) play with the settings of monitors.
  Tried, but none of the settings fixed it.

  So, what are my options?
  Is there a known cause and the solution to this problem?
  If my laptop is still under warranty, can I get a replacement AC adapter / CC or something to work around this problem?

  Thank you

• Tecra A2 external monitor problems

  Recently, I broke the screen on my A2 and until I can afford to get it fixed, want to use a monitor tft external that I have. I use fn and f5 to enable vga but the resolution is all wrong, and when I try to change the tft screen is disabled and it is up to the laptop broken screen I can't see.

  Anyone have any ideas on how to solve this problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t know why you suggest that your resolution is fake because I checked the resolution display information and it seems that the max resolution is 1024 x 768.

  In addition, FN + F5 key combination doesn't change the screen resolution but display devices. You can use this function to switch from an extended desktop, external display and two screens.
  If you want to change the display resolution, so you should go to the display properties. Here, you can change the settings.

• Tecra M5 - external monitor (TV) graphics in black and white

  Hello

  I have my M5 connected to a TV via a SCART (s - video-> adapter SCART).
  Everything works very well (including sound), except that the image is the B & W.
  Whatever I do, I can't get it color.

  When I S - video-> s-video color (in projector) is fine.

  The clues as to what I could do to get a color picture on my TV?
  (M5 2Gb, Xp Sp2)

  TFAI

  Just answer. We're not the assignment of the cable pins SCART. I had the same problem with my TV. There was a black and white photo and I don't know why.
  I checked the contacts and moved the cable up and down and for some reason, the colour appeared. Then I tired 3 cables SCART different and to have worked.

  Maybe it helps.

• Tecra Z50 - need to connect two external monitors

  I think to buy Tecra Z50, but one of the features that I need is the ability to connect two external monitors.

  Is it possible to have a monitor connected to the HDMI and a VGA (with computer laptop lid closed)?

  * Hi-speed III Port Replicator is not an option, because it is not available in my country (Croatia).

  Hello

  I don t think you will be able to connect two external monitors to this laptop using HDMI and RGB port at the same time because of different types of signals.

  The RGB/VGA port supports analog signal.

  The HDMI port provides the digital video output and when the external monitor is connected to the HDMI port the device is set to HDMI.

  > * Hi-speed III port replicator is not an option because it is not available in my country (Croatia).
  What of the Dynadock? Its an external device connected to the s for computer laptop USB port.
  It supports own graphic unit and you can connect to another external monitor such Dynadock 2nd.

• Tecra A10 - BSOD with Port Replicator Port and external monitor

  Hello

  I have a Tecra A10 PTSB0A 05C023 with XP SP3 on an Express Port Replicator, running to an external monitor (1280 x 1024) on VGA. Works fine for a while then seems BSOD spontaneously when not in service - possibly when screensaver or powersaver comes into play.

  BSOD is a STOP 0x0000007E in igxpmp32.sys

  I downloaded and installed the latest video drivers intel from the Web from Toshiba - 6.14.10.4953 site

  Any help or advice by eliminating the BSOD would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Rhys.

  Hi mate,

  I asked Google to igxpmp32.sys and this file belongs to the Intel display driver. In your case, I recommend the page Intel searching for the latest display drivers.
  [www.intel.com]

  Also have a look on the Toshiba site for a BIOS update, or you have already installed the latest version of the BIOS?

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what Port Replicator you use exactly. Can you post the model number?

• Tecra S4: cannot switch automatically to an external monitor with APR 3 +.

  Hello

  I used a Tecra S4 (with Windows XP Prof.) with monitor 3 + and with an external 19 "Advanced Port Replicator. If I connect my laptop with the Port Replicator, it will automatically switch to the external display. I have to use the function "FN" to move."

  I signed up the external monitor with "use this device as the primary monitor.
  I don't have this problem with my other laptop Toshiba Tecra A3.

  Now, I think the problem is the geforce graphics card.

  Does anyone have the same problem?
  Thanks for the help and sorry for my bad English; (o)

• Tecra S3: Driver needed to activate the resolution to 1680 x 1050 on external monitor

  I am looking for a driver for Windows XP that supports an external monitor to 1680 x 1050 on a Tecra S3.
  So far with the Toshiba drivers I can only use 1440 x 900.
  The monitor can be detected through its resolution.

  Is it possible to use two different external monitors?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  1. There is no official driver of Toshiba or Nvidia with this resolution.
  I tested the driver 165.01 http://www.laptopvideo2go.com/drivers with the external resolution 1680 x 1050 and it works very well.
  Download the driver and updated the inf file.

  2. even if you are using the docker, there is no way to use two external monitors connected VGA and DVI simultaneously. This is not supported.
  Only of external solutions with a separate adapter grafics provide (for example Toshiba Dynadock, a usb solution). But from my point of view, all are not very satisfactory.

• Tecra A10 - 1LL - connection with the external monitor

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop Tecra A10.

  When I connect to an external monitor to the laptop I have to manually switch the screens because external shows nothing. When I disconnect the monitor I have to pass the screens manually with FN + F5 because the internal display shows nothing.

  My old laptop (Tecra A9 (PTS52E-0E702NGR)) is the poster automatically whenever I connected or disconnected an external monitor.

  Anyone has an idea why the A10 light automatically as the old notebook? Maybe it's the only spot in the preferences of the display driver that I don't see right now. :-)

  Hi SilverWizard,

  What happens if you try to switch on the external monitor using the options of display driver, or that this combination of buttons don t work?

  As wrote Al - eX you must update tools from Toshiba to get the keys FN working again. Everything can be downloaded here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  It's working now?

• TECRA M1 problem - external monitor ressolution

  I have Toshiba tecra m1 laptop and I plugged in the vga cable external monitor LG W2252TE. The ressolution fixed by the graphics card on the external monitor's maximum: 1280 X 1024, I wanto ressolution on 1680 x 1050 pourdefinir, because it is an optimal ressolutin through my monitor. My vga display the 4:3 format, but my monior is 16:9. How I can change this ressolution, it is possible to rewrite the friv graphics card and ressolutin added?, my graphics card: Trident XP4m32

  Hello

  First of all, you must check if the graphics card chip allows and support your favorite external resolution.
  According to the information in the user manual (which can be downloaded from the Toshiba page) this resolution are supported by a graphics chip:

  640 x 480
  800 x 600
  1024 x 768
  1280 x 1024
  1600 x 1200
  1920 x 1440
  2048 x 1534

  Unfortunately 1680 x 1050 is not mentioned and I doubt you had the choice.
  Also very important is the graphics card driver. If the driver doesn't include such a resolution then it will appear in the graphics card settings and you might not choose it.

• Tecra M11-LaTeX runs slow on external monitor using Express Port Replicator

  Hi all

  I am having trouble with my Tecra M11 with an external monitor, through an Express Port Replicator II.

  It is very accurate, but I am running texlive 2010 on my laptop to write a thesis. Whenever I use my laptop screen feature is very good, and it works very fast, no lag when I compile my document. As soon as docking it into my docking station at work to use it on a big screen, whenever I use the same program, it slows down a lot, finally causing the crash program. Its frustrating to lose a lot of your thesis like this! When I connect the external monitor directly to the laptop, it works fine again.

  Something goes wrong in the docking station. Anyone know how I can fix this? Im a little confused and ideas. Maybe I pilot or something im unaware of. My docking station is maybe defective?

  Thank you

  Jake

  Port replicator port on which do you use? VGA or DVI?

  It won't be easy to provide the answer to your question. It is not possible to test all the software available with docking station and research solutions.
  I would say: bad luck.
