  * 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.

• 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.

• Tecra S1 - display problem, even on external monitor

  One day I was using the laptop, surfing the net normally, everything was fine and suddenly the screen went bad... (photo below). I tried using an external monitor and still the same, so I'm sure that my monitor is fine and it is probably a problem of display card?
  I tried to update my display card driver and no luck, so I decided to use the recovery CD to restore the system and no luck once again.

  Here is a screenshot after the system restore... y at - there a way to fix this without taking it to a service center?
  Thank you

  Hi borist,

  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! :)

• Tecra S1 - black screen even on external monitor

  Hello

  I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this, but here goes: I have a tecra s1 who was working fine then one day. I turned it on all I get a black screen. I suspect that it's the hard drive but not 100%.

  I tried to connect to an external monitor as the same just a black screen. My question is this laptop does not start if the hard drive is bad I think it would be at least got to the bios screen, but I get nothing but a black screen.

  any help would be appreciated thanks.

  Hi cracypcguy,

  For me, this looks like a hardware malfunction if on an external monitor, you can see a white screen also. In addition, I doubt it has something to do with the HARD drive. In this case you should see the screen of the BIOS at least.

  Anyway, in your case, I'll ask a maintainer approved assistance. Technicians can check your laptop parts and the exchange of defective material.

  I hope I could help you! :)

• Tecra A2: Question about DVI and external monitor

  Hello
  I am trying to get a DVI Signal of the Tecra A2 using the Advanced Port Replicator III but without success. The A2 does support DVI anyway?
  Another question: is it possible to set up the main display to the external monitor using "extended Desktop"?

  Thank you
  Ralph Menon

  Hello Ralph

  Your unit doesn t support DVI port and you can't use it. As far as I know just the ports that you can find on the device, you can use in Port Replicator because the signal is just loop through.

  The problem with the screen is that mobile has the main value and it cannot be changed (on my Tecra M1 nor). The windows will be implemented on an external but password box will always be displayed on the screen of the laptop.

  Good bye

• Can not do primary external monitor on Portege M700 & Dynadock

  It is impossible to make a screen Toshiba external 22 "the * primary * with the M700 Toshiba LCD screen as the * secondary * 'expanded '.
  The external monitor is connected to the Dynadock DVI. Runing Win XP SP3.

  The monitor works well as a display of volumes mirrored and extended with the M700 maintained as principal.
  Externally also works very well as the primary _WITHOUT_ display M700.

  When external is set as primary (and the M700 display is off), if I try to designate the internal display M700 such extended, the system reverts to the original with the M700 as main configuration and extended such externally.

  Any ideas why it does not work with externally as a main and the only extended such M700 screen with the Dynadock?

  Have you ever tried to test it, if you can define the secondary external primary and internal not using only not the dynadock?

  I would also recommend reinstall display drivers and dynadock too.

• What is the largest external monitor I can use with Portege M400?

  I have a Portege M400-s5032x tablet and a pa3680u docking station. I would get a larger external monitor for use with the docking station, which is the largest monitor I can use?

  I have a widescreen 18.5 on there now and that you would go up to 20 or 22 inch widescreen.

  As far as I know that there is no limitation. You can use what you want.
  The only thing that may be problematic is the resolution of the screen.

  At the docking port DVI?

• The two external monitors show the same screen

  original title: using 2 external monitors on a laptop using Dynadock U10 problems

  Hi guys,.

  I try to use two external monitors using my a Dynadock U10..., I bought because it says you can use two external monitors with it!

  I installed the drivers for Displaylink etc.

  I plugged both monitors to the Dynadock (one via the VGA input) and one through DVI. When I have my laptop open it using cell phone as main screen and extends the office to both monitors, but both monitors have the same screen. If I identify screens, the laptop screen is 1 'and the monitors are the two 3'.

  If I close the laptop (I put the settings to not do anything if the lid is closed) and select my monitor as the main screen, they still both have the same image and the settins wont let me go to another screen. If I identify the screens, the two screens are developed under the number "1".

  I use Windows Vista. My laptop graphics card is "ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics"

  Any help would be appreciated!

  See you soon,.

  Stu

  Your video card is not serious with this home solution 'USB '.

  Toshiba is your point of contact.

  However - to answer your question - as much as I know you cannot do what you are trying to do.  You can use both outputs monitor, but the results you see are what you would expect.

• Tecra A7 with port replicator - the bad external monitor resolution

  Hello

  I have a Tecra A7 (Mod.No. PTA71E) that I use with often an III advanced port replicator and an external 19 "monitor (1280 x 1024).

  Now Ichanged the monitor with a new LCD display 22 '' Samsung 223BW with a resolution of 1680 x 1050.

  Attached to the VGA, I have a lot of flicker problems drinking the reolution is OK.
  Attached to the DVI I have not flickering but the monitor get a resolution of 1280 x 1024 with a desktop computer to 1680 x 1050, that appear depending on the position of the mouse.

  How can I use the DVI and get good resolution (as in VGA mode) but without twinkle?

  Thank you
  Davide Rubbiani

  Hello

  I guess that the Toshiba ATI driver does not support the resolution of 1680 x 1050.
  The only way to get the 1680 x 1050 resolution is to install another driver.

  Maybe here you will find a working one.

• Tecra R840-111: external monitor continuously restarts

  Hi all!

  I have a problem when you use the vga of the Tecra R840-111 with my external monitor/TV (LG M237WDP).
  Restarts it continuously monitor (it seems to restart).

  This behavior does not occur with another external monitor or if I use another laptop with the monitor named above.
  I used a live CD of linux (ubuntu) and everything is ok. Isn't weird?

  Advice?

  My toshiba has a kind of hidden in the bios menu diagnosis?
  I know that some laptop requires the user to for example hit CTRL + V in the bios in order to enter the diagnostic menu. Is there something like this?

  Can you help me?

  Thank you.
  Marco.

  Hello

  I have exactly the same external monitor but I don't t notice any monitor emits as you described in the message.
  I have two laptops and the monitor is connected to using VGA cable and DVI cable for two laptops
  In both cases, the monitor does not restart so I m not quite sure what you are talking about

  With regard to the BIOS.
  It s don't know for me about the hidden in the BIOS menus.
  In addition, you said that this problem does not occur with Linux, so I would say that its certainly nothing wrong with the BIOS. Also this theory would confirm because the other external monitor works well.

  Maybe some sort of software preinstalled Windows OS cause this?

  Also in the BIOS, you can choose the detection of the external monitor option (or something similar). Usually its set to automatic, but I assign this internal display.

• Two external monitors can be connected to the docking station?

  Is it possible to connect two external monitors to a docking of HP 2740? If so, how it is with 1 single VGA port on the docking station. The tablet which is embodied is a HP Elitebook 2760P.

  Yes, you got that right.

  He landed again until what's available / condition on the 2nd external monitor. These days most of them VGA, HDMI and DVI while that few of them have display port too.

• Aero off when the external monitor is turned by Nvidia ControlPanel

  Please see subject
  Aero works perfectly when the office is developed for the 2nd monitor in normal mode.
  no work around?

  Post edited by: mhoffmann

  Sorry, I forgot to mention my hw: Satellite a100-02 b (geforce go 7600)

  .. and when I reboot Vista behaves a little bit strange.
  a few seconds, everything looks ok, but then it redefines the external monitor to 16-bit color and minimum Vfrequency (60 HZ)
  and a message appears that the 'Desktop Manager' was closed due to a problem.

  Maybe it's because...
  (1) it is an old CRT, not especially known (standard pnp driver)?
  (2) the ability of the graphics card vista is not sufficient in this configuration?

  I heard somewhere that there is a switch in the registry, which disables the dwm.exe test, if the material is
  able to support the aero technologies. What is a way to fix it?

  Hello

  I read about the registry hack that allows the function Aero Vista on graphics cards that are generally not able to manage the Aero feature.
  But I don t think that the modified registry key might help with this problem!

  In any case, I try to understand what you were doing on the laptop
  You have turned on the display on the second external monitor, then you have changed the position of the screen (you turn the display) and you tried to use the Aero on the external monitor.
  Am I wrong?

  Well, what to say, it s not easy to say if she s a problem or just a limitation of Vista Aero.
  I have never tested or used Aero after the display has been set at another position.

  I think you should test Aero on external monitor without rotation.
  Please also see this Toshiba knowledge base article on

  What are the requirements of Aero in Windows Vista?
