• Portege Z30 16 GB with high speed Port Replicator III and two monitors - resolution

  I have a Portege Z30 with 16 GB of Ram, connected to a Toshiba high speed Port Replicator III which is connected to two monitors running in mode extended.

  The monitor attached to the first section of the video is 1920 x 1200 running.
  However the second monitor is only show support for a maximum of 1280 x 1084.

  The monitors are identical, and both are connected by DisplayPort cables.

  I tried to lower the resolution and save the settings on the first monitor to see if it offered options on the second monitor, but the options remained the same.

  At this point, I have narrowed down to 1280 x 1024 so that it conforms to all the monitors but would like to a plus-res solution.

  Does anyone know if there is a fix/work-around for this?
  If this is a hardware limitation, has anyone tried a USB 3 to DisplayPort adapter in a similar configuration?

  Thank you!

  At the same time using two displayports?
  I wonder how it is possible, because of my knowledge it is not possible... as far as I know the Port Replicator III supports two DisplayPorts but you could choose and use one of them...

  In any case, you can use both with a lower resolution, I guess that this problem can be caused due to incompatible display drivers.
  I suggest you to uninstall reinstall or update the display drivers and check if it helps

• Portege Z30-A-12N with Port Replicator Port Hi-Speed USB III problems

  Hi all

  I have a big problem with my new Portege Z30-A-12N and Hi-Speed Port Replicator III.

  I connected the power, DVI, LAN, mouse and keyboard to the Port Replicator.
  Power, DVI and LAN are okay, but none will be found if I connect something to the USB Ports 2.0 or 3.0.
  No mouse, no keyboard, and no USB key.

  When I start my Portege I must enter a password after you press the power button.
  These password, I could enter with the external keyboard, but in windows, no keyboard has been found.

  If I connect the keyboard and mouse to the USB Ports of the Portege instead of Port Replicator, the two has been found.

  I ran Windows 7 Enterprise on the Portege.
  BIOS version is 3.30

  Do you have a solution for me?

  Hello

  The HI-SPEED PORT REPLICATOR III PA5116E-1PRP supports 2 x USB 2.0 and 4 x USB 3.0 ports.
  You n t special need Win 7 drivers in order to be able to use the USB ports or other interfaces such as VGA, DVI, audio, etc.

  Sound problems, make sure that the audio device has been selected in the right panel-> sound-> playback tab

  By the way: Win 7 needs USB driver 3.0 which is preinstalled when the laptop was equipped with USB 3.0 ports. My knowledge if your mobile phone does not support USB 3.0, you will be able to use the port replicator USB 3.0 ports.

  Finally and above all devices must be connected before you start the computer. The decision supported and compatible specifications: Portégé R30 - A, Tecra Z40 - A, Tecra Z50 - A, Portégé Z30-A/Z30t-A, Tecra A50 - has

• Tecra A11 & Express Port Replicator II - USB problems

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with a port replicator that I simple couldn't have resolved for months. I'll try to explain this as best I can.

  We have a Tecra A11, which seems to work fine running on Windows 7 Professional. When the Tecra A11 is pluged in an Express Port Replicator 2, not USB ports in the port replicator's work at all. Very good cell phone fees and the LAN switches on the replicator fine, but the USB ports simly does not work under any circumstances. It would also be interesting to note that the green light next to the "eject" button lights never really.

  I downloaded and installed the latest series driver for Windows 7 from the Toshiba support page which has no effect. We had 2 replacements for Toshiba because they also agreed that the previous, we had were not woring correctly, but this obviously was not the case because we still have the same problem with our 3rd unit. The Tecra A11 was sent back to Toshiba with case notes clearly describing the question, and he was sent to us "no fault found".

  Unfortunately, we don't have any other laptops to test on the port replicator. but I'm seriously suspect that the problem lies in the laptop, rather than the port replicator. For any idea or suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards

  Steve.

  Hello

  According to your message, you are not sure if the problem is related to the defective laptop Tecra or express port replicator.
  Hmm theoretically the problem might be related to defective express port replicator or Tecra.

  If found some information on the USB ports and the repliators port:

  + Make sure that the element of Legacy USB in the BIOS emulation is set to "Enabled". This feature only works for the keyboard and mouse. Also note that the keyboard and mouse must be connected before you start the computer. A USB mouse, keyboard or the floppy drive connected to the Port Replicator via any other connection that a hub of the first level, will not work until the operating system has started. +

  I also recommend to check the version of the BIOS; If the most recent BIOS is available, then you need to update this

• Latitude E7450 processor and controller, E - 2, unstable configuration port of the U2715H - two monitors-

  I have two monitors U2715H connected via a CDM-> DP cable each to a docking station E-Port Plus (in fact an Advanced Port Replicator EURO2) in which sits a laptop Latitude E7450 processor and controller. All items are brand new. E7450 processor and controller is equipped with 16 GB of RAM and two graphics cards: Intel HD 5500 Graphics and NVIDIA GeForce 840 M; selection is automatic, which usually means that the 5500 is running. It runs Windows 7 Enterprise SP1 (64-bit). The docking station has apparently DP 1.2 a capacity (for chaining) but DP 1.2 is disabled in both monitors.

  I have correctly configured the system to have Windows desktop space both monitors at 2560 x 1440 resolution, even with screen internal latitude as a third request for an extension to its full resolution (1920 x 1080). The main screen can be set to one of the two (or three) and I can successfully move the sequence of monitors around (left, middle, right).

  There is therefore no doubt about the ability of the system to support the planned configuration. However, when I dock the Latitude (most with the lid closed) and start, most of the time he is unable to restore the configuration of the two external monitors. Some of the symptoms are: one or two monitors go black, indicating the cable connected but no signal from the docking station. If there is a picture on one of the monitors at startup, it may or may not contain the login screen. (I can still log in because I know which keystrokes to send.) If the login screen is visible, it is usually in low resolution. If I have several active screens, but one is black, I can move the mouse pointer (or an entire window) on the screen black (in the middle or on the side), but it is not visible here.

  Both monitors come right out of the box and the only change I made is to move from the DP to the mDP as input channel. I reinstalled the cables and exchanged the cables between the two DPs on the docking station. I turned the market monitors. I ran the self-test the requirements on both monitors. The connection of the laptop on the docking station is a little wobbly, but I use the spacer provided for the E7450 processor and controller and making sure the connection is correct and stable. I've updated all the drivers and BIOS of processors E7450 and controller. I recently saw a reference to a BIOS for the docking station; I didn't know it existed, but I'm not.

  The installation instructions provided with the monitors were a note on consulting the CD provided for the use of the screen to maximum resolution. E7450 processor and controller is not an optical drive, but I read all of the documentation for the monitor to Support technical without finding what whatsoever to shed light on the situation (in addition to ensure that the graphics card and drivers are up to the task).

  Once I connected, I can manage to make it all in order by randomly (?) lower the resolution of the screen, change the position of the main screen (left-center-right), deselection reselection CDM as entry way and forcing other changes. Once the two or all three screens in operation, I can put them all to maximum resolution and beginning of work. However, it is rather annoying and I would like to have a stable configuration.

  The configuration seems to survive power cycling of the laptop / station but not if I also disconnect the laptop. I should mention that when I detach the E7450 processor and controller, I can use it in other configurations, with or without other external monitors through other ports, before turning it off and later re - anchor as described. However, for the first month I had two old non-moniteurs Dell of any resolution (on DVI and VGA ports) connected to the docking station and the configuration is stable, and for years I used for my older Latitude with a docking station that is older, remembering his device between different hardware configurations.

  Please, someone - and Dell support staff in particular?

• 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?

• External keyboard works only after the restart with Port Replicator III Plus

  The problem is that when I start the laptop, the external PS/2 keyboard does not work. When I reboot keyboard this one turns around and then I can use it.

  This problem occurs on a laptop Toshiba Tecra with an Advanced Port Replicator III Plus. I used several keyboards, so this isn't the problem. I changed a value in the bios which is used for devices USB (mouse/keyboard). I disabled the option, because I use a keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, but the problem is not resolved. I hope someone has an answer to this problem.

  Hello

  It will be interesting to know what model Tecra you use. Is it perhaps Tecra A6?

• 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.

• Tecra A9 - Express Port Replicator: DVI does not

  I recently bought a Toshiba Express Port Replicator for my laptop Toshiba Tecra A9 PTS52E because I need DVI to connect my external monitor to the laptop Tecra A9 has only a built-in VGA.

  After you connect the laptop to the monitor I get no output on the external monitor, however. Descriptions of Replicator Port Express said that it has a DVI - D, my monitor has a DVI - D and the cable is a cable DVI - D single link so everything * should * work.
  I don't get out Visual at any time, nor in the BIOS (I can't find any options BIOS based DVI as well) or the OS.

  What is the trick to get this working? I have tested the monitor on the other workstations and the VGA out of the docking station works with other monitors as well, but unfortunately not via DVI with that I want to use.

  Hello

  Like many I know the on some series laptop Port Replicator DVI port unusable if the laptop doesn't supports this port!

• Tecra S3 Advanced Port Replicator III more: video output, analog & digital

  I have a Tecra S3 in association with Advanced Port Replicator III.
  I can't get the two graphics cards to work together.

  The analog and digital video output should work together.

  It works on a Tecra S2, but not on the S3?
  Does anyone have an answer?

  Hello

  You want to use both outputs DVI and VGA on Advanced Port Replicator III graphics more simultaneously?

  Advanced Port Replicator III more supports the use only if the computer system unit laptop itself also supports the simultaneous use of RGB & DVI.

  So that would mean that the backs of Tecra S3 not supported this feature

• Tecra M5-compatible Port Replicator of Tecra 9100 is?

  I have a port replicator (model PA3082E-1PRP) for my old 3 years Tecra 9100 defective. I'll buy a Tecra M5. Do I need to get a new Port for the M5 Replicator or my old one is compatible with the new computer?

  Hello

  I think that it should be compatible.
  But on the Toshiba options and accessories site I found that these devices with M5 supported:
  Advanced Port Replicator III PA3314E-1PRP
  III Advanced Port Replicator more PA3474E-1PRP
  USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (Ethernet / EU Version) PX1173E-1PRP
  USB 2.0 Port Replicator II (Ethernet / UK Version) PX1173U-1PRP

  To my knowledge, these are the most recent port replicators which are available may be so old appliances are not listed.
  I think you could try carefully connect the laptop with your old port replicator.

• 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?

  Hello
  I have a Tablet m200 and the top mentioned dock/replication PA3314-1PRP port.
  As the M200 has no serial port (rs232), I want to use the one on the docking station, but it is not recognized as a device on my tablet.

  Thew network connections and usb ports all work fine and the lpt port is shown in Device Manager. I have restored the Tablet and it still does not recognize the serial port.
  How can I get this port recognized so that I can use it.

  Thank you very much

  Hello Lee

  I just, I can confirm that when you use the Replicator port advanced III with Portege M200 several ports do not work. Problem is that Portege M200 does not support these interfaces.

  This is a technical limitation and the port of mouse PS/2 port keyboard PS/2, serial port, I.Link (Firewire) port and DVI port will not be supported when Portege M200 is anchored on the Advanced Port Replicator III. :(
