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 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 A - external monitor swimming

    Hello

    I have connected my tecra to a 2242 W LG via VGA. Now my external screen is swimming. It is somewhat strange because the external monitor already worked before with three different phones. My settings are 1680 * 1050 at 60 Hz.

    Thank you

    Murat

    Hey,.

    What do you mean with swim? Do you mean that your monitor flickers?

    If so try another cable. I would recommend a high quality of Lindy for example cable.

    Otherwise, check the forum. You will find similar topics and it could be related to the AC adapter:

  • 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.

  • Re: Satellite A200-1IZ - external monitor problem

    Hello
    I recently bought an IPS monitor for photo editing. I configured the monitor in several ways, such as two monitors or monitors extended, but the image on the external monitor has a few little flicker and the image is not very pleasing to the eyes, a feeling like little refreshment on old monitor, very disturbing for the eyes.
    I plugged the monitor into another laptop and the image is much better.

    What could be the problem? I have Windows 7 32 bit and Ati Mobility Radeon HD 2600 adapter with the latest drivers.

    We do not know what monitor you have exactly, but what is the native screen resolution and what resolution is set to the external monitor when you use it with your laptop?

  • External monitor problem

    Let me start by saying that I had this work once.  Here is what happened.  I was watching Netflix on my laptop using my flat screen tv as a monitor. The monitor of the laptop was also.  When the video started to freeze intermittently, I thought that I might be able to decrease the load on the computer using only the tv for the monitor, but I couldn't find the dialog box to change the selection (please don't tell me where it is, I found it since.)  (Read more).  My son suggested by pressing Fn + F5.  The icon seemed sensitive so I tried.  I lost the image on my screen laptop and become blurred the image of the TV.  I pressed the keys again hoping to get back to what I had before, but it didn't work.

    Here is where I am now.  The laptop is fine as long as I do not connect the VGA cord.  As soon as I plug the VGA cord, the laptop monitor goes black.  The TV screen reads "signal not supported."

    Here is what I tried:

    Tested by VGA cable and laptop on another TV; This works.
    Tested another computer on the tv problem. This works.
    Changed my resolution of the laptop must match that on the other computer that worked: no change
    Found original (while connected to other tv) dialog box and check the mirror on the second monitor *: no change
    Looked in device under monitors for television Manager, hoping to remove it and start again, but it is not listed

    Oh and Yes, I have power all recycled several times and enabled their return in every possible order.

    My thoughts - Windows says that the info for each monitor is stored so that when you reconnect to it, the same settings are applied.  I think maybe somehow I need to purge these parameters or return to the default value. I can't understand how to do this.

    * I just can't reach this dialog box without a connected external monitor, and as soon as I connect the tv, that I am using, my laptop screen goes black, so I can't change this setting when you are connected to the tv I want to use.

    Connect and scroll with your hotkeys again.  These keys are distinguished by the laptop.

    Install the most recent/most great driver and software from the video device manufacturer (which is Microsoft.)  Likely to Intel, nVidia or ATI (AMD).

  • 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

    Hello, I have some problem with a Tecra A20 which is connected to a docking station. If I start the laptop with the lid down and you start Microsoft Outlook the left button of the mouse on the external mouse acts as a right mouse click (the right button of the mouse serves as a right-click). Only, the fault occurs in Office applications and does not appear when the laptop is started when the cover is opened. I tried to reinstall all drivers for mouse/touch pad, Toshiba software and office software. I've also been through all the power save and docking of parameters, but the problem persists.

    I tried to connect my NB200-10Z to my LCD TV using a VGA - DVI connector. Now, I have connected my DVI cable into the socket, then the TV.

    For some reason any TV is not recognized by the netbook. I tried the FN + F5 key and it only shows the lcd - associated with the netbook screen.

    I thought that maybe I need an update of the display driver, but it seems that I have the latest version (6.14.10.4926)

    Rebooted the system, no effect.

    I used to have my other laptop connected to the TV before, so the problem must be with this netbook.

    Thought I would let you know that, by chance, I came to find the fix on the Microsoft Community website.

    The issue might be related to display drivers and try again the steps to uninstall graphics cardin Device Manager, uninstall the drivers of device from the list of programs, and then download the latest drivers from the manufacturer's website.

    • Expand the section of the graphics card .
    • Find the Display card Driver.
    • Graphics Driver right click and choose Uninstall.
    • Select the check box delete the driver for this device.
    • Restart the computer after the uninstall is complete.

    • Now, click on programs and select programs and features.

    It s really great that you could post a picture of your problem. Thank you!
    In addition, you have already tried a lot of as the recovery facility and an external monitor.

    Unfortunately, it seems to be a hardware malfunction of graphics card. :(

    This means that you will need to swap the motherboard because the graphics card is fixed on it. Motherboard is a party quite expensive and Tecra S1 is old notebook then maybe you can get a second hand or laptop motherboard on eBay and swap it out.

    Good luck! :)
