• 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.

• Turn off the screen on Tecra and using external monitor/LCD TV

  I recently bought an LCD TV and was anxious to use it as a monitor for my Toshiba Tecra M2V. I ran into problems.

  I seem to be unable to 'disable' the laptop screen and ONLY use the LCD TV screen at cary, work, games etc. I seem to be rather only beable to COMBINE the LCD with my LCD screen, by creating a "two" screen I followed all the online help and I am still unable to have one screen.

  I just want some LCD TV as my screen!

  Any ideas on how to do this? It's really a pain!

  TIA

  Hello

  Usually, you should be able to do this by using the FN + F5 key combination. As far as I know if the device is connected to the TV, you have three options (maybe depends on the laptop model) LCD only, LCD and external, just the TV device.

  You can also try to switch using GeForce properties:
  Display properties > settings > advanced > GeForce tab > Device Settings > Select output device.

• Tecra S11 - 11G - external monitor flickers when the Wifi is enabled

  I have a similar problem on my brand new Tecra S11 - 11G. The only difference is that the problem is present only when I have my laptop plugged in and turned on WiFi radio.

  If I turn the Wifi radio off and keep the laptop connected to the power source, the external screen keeps flickering. If I keep the WiFi radio and disconnect it from the power source blinking stops, too.

  I reported this problem to Toshiba customer to the Portugal (where I bought it) and they gave me the ticket case #710008193. They said that they would not replace the defective unit and that I should leave for repair. It is absolutely amazing because the laptop is brand new. A customer still expects to have a well work product when needed out of the box without having to call the repair man. I think it is their obligation to replace the damaged aircraft. In addition, this laptop is part of a fleet of the company who buys only Toshiba laptops and we are talking about a Tecra and not a Satellite. We deserve more respect from Toshiba.

  In a year or two, I have a new laptop (company policy) and it surely won't be a Toshiba.

  > They said they would not replace the defective unit and that I should leave for repair. It is absolutely amazing because the laptop is brand new

  That is why amazing? A hardware malfunction can still happen and this happens not only in the world of the computer/laptop. Therefore, manufacturers provide a service to a client and failure may be fixed and covered by the warranty.

  > A customer still waiting to have a well work product when needed out of the box without having to call the repair man. I think it is their obligation to replace the damaged aircraft

  Of course you are right, but in the reality of things happening.
  My PS3 died after a short period of time. It has been fixed and replaced under warranty conditions, but this isn't a reason for me to say; I would not buy PS3 more because of this problem.
  My BMW had some engine problems, that it was fixed under warranty and I would buy this car again once because this car is great and I think other builders are no better, and I think this would also happen to other manufacturers

  That s my personal opinion in the opinion

• 5520 Inspiron 15R Core I7 6 GB RAM - Windows Pro 8.1 ataching problems external monitor.

  Hi all

  I have a Dell inspiron 15 R 5520 bought in December about 3 month and a half ago. Now, I tried to attach a HDMI Cable VGA for monitor or TV, but it does not work. It's as if the cable is not connected at all.

  I have the latest drivers, it seems to work, but somehow, it does not recognize the HDMI output: (.)

  If anyone knows something about to help I'll be very gratefull. I really need to work with 2 monitors: (.)

  You cannot change a VGA connection with just a cable HDMI - HDMI is digital.  VGA is analog.  You need a D/A converter to make this connection.  For example,.

• 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! :)

  Hello

  Maybe you should try a page Intel graphics card driver?
  I m not quote sure which version is the most recent but all of the details you will find on the Intel page.

  By the way; First remove the old graphics driver before you install the most recent update!

• 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)

  Hello

  It works with Tecra S4, too.

• 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:

  It's working now?

• Tecra M3: black screen on startup, the vertical lines on the external monitor

  Hi all

  I searched a lot on the Internet for a solution to this specific problem, I have, but did not find a thread
  with exactly the same problem. I have a Toshiba Tecra M3 with Windows XP SP 3. Two weeks ago, I encountered problems with the commissioning. After a couple of times to restart it would work. Then it became worse... When I try to run I see no splash... the screen remains black. If I press the power button, I hear the fan and CD player but no screen. It is totally black. I know its working because I can go (blindly) in the installation program. Press end, and then press Y and enter. The computer will restart but still no screen.

  I plugged it to an external monitor. Pressing Fn and F5 allows switching. The external monitor shows different
  vertical lines in multiple colors. They change if I go to settings or you try to start windows.

  Does anyone have a solution to these problems?

  I have fear of solution can be given by the service only.
  In my view, this question must be tested properly.

  I can't say for sure, but to me that sounds like a technical question. Without testing you will know for sure what is the problem.
  Here on the forum we can only speculate why this happen.

  As you can see on notebooka? s LCD problem. On external it doesnâ? t properly work as well. It may be a faulty graphics card.
  Try to contact the nearest authorized Toshiba service and speak with the technician.

• 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.

• Re: Tecra A9 keeps DΘmarrer on the external monitor

  I have a Tecra A9 running on XP, it has mobile Intel 965 Express integrated graphics. I use it with an external monitor, but whenever he starts it keeps or default in the screen even if I continue to put the laptop by default.

  Has anyone seen this problem and how to fix it so that the laptop is still the default monitor?

  Hello

  You have connected the monitor directly on the laptop or with a port replicator?

  On my Toshiba laptop, I can t view this problem so in your case, I would try to update the display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  Before update you the display driver, you must remove the old version and then restart the laptop.
  On the update of the BIOS, I can give you some tips: close all running applications as your antivirus and firewall. In addition, you must be logged in as an administrator and extract all the files from zip archive before you start the update.

  Good bye

• 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 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

• Tecra M2: No. 1400 x 1050 resolution graphics and an external monitor

  Hello.
  I use a Tecra M2, with GeForce FXGo5200, Win XP (patched), latest graphic driver 4.6.4.4.
  Problem:
  There is no possibility to standard resolution 1400 x 1050 to the external monitor.

  1600 x 1200 (and higher), 1280 x 1024 and many others are available in a long list, but the one I need for the Samsung 203 b is missing - even if "no longer view the resolutions not taken in charge" in the monitor display properties is disabled.
  According to the manual of T2, 1400 x 1050 is supported.

  Tested with 1600 x 1200 on a different monitor and it works perfectly.
  Interesting: If I uninstall the graphics driver, I can go to 1400 x 1050, so from a technical point of view, it should work.

  Work without graphics driver is no alternative.
  If anyone has had this problem or knows how to force the pilot to switch to 1400 x 1050?
  Thank you very much!

  You re right.
  Supported by this resolution, but it seems that this resolution was not in the graphics card drivers.
  I put t know why the factory doesn't graphics driver includes some resolutions to this software but if it s are not so I guess there's nothing to see. :(
