• 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

  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:

• External monitor flickers always on Satellite Pro U400 - 13G

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro U400 - 13G that connects external monitors with VGA port.

  I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit with the latest graphics drivers from intel, I also tried the drivers from the Toshiba download site.

  Anyway... I tried 3 different external screens to connect a LG with resolution 1280 x 1024, an acer projector with resolution 1024 x 768 and a Samsung SyncMaster 226BW running 1680 x 1050.

  All these monitors simply sparkles... a higher resolution = more flicker. It seems to be worse with gray background.

  I tried the system Windows 7 RC1, same problem.

  When I unplug my diet, Twinkle seems to be... a little reduced, there is still a lot of flicker.

  Someone knows how to fix this?

• 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.

• External monitor flickers and send the display to the laptop screen

  I'm running Windows 7 on a ThinkPad. I have an external monitor from ViewSonic VX2433wm I connect and use scope display mode. This all worked fine for many months, and then a few months ago I started having a problem where, after several minutes, the ViewSonic and the computer screen will be time twinkle a few times and then just what is on the ViewSonic flies to the computer screen. I have updated the monitor display drivers and the laptop, but still have the problem. In addition, I discovered by chance yesterday that, even if the external monitor is turned off but connected to the laptop, the screen of the computer, still wobbles. It's driving me crazy!

  Hello

  I suggest you try the following steps:

  Step 1: change display settings also change color depth then test

  Try using the display quality problems to solve the problem. It ensures that your video card driver is compatible Windows 7, and checks to see if your color grading, video effects and display settings are correct.

• External monitor flickering Macbook 2016

  I have a Macbook 2016 and an Apple USB - C for Multi AV-HDMI adapter and a LogiLink USB - C for adpater DisplayPort.

  I am using a Dell 3008WFP as an external display monitor (maximum resolution 2560 x 1600 @60 Hz) with my MacBook, but it doesn't seem to work well.

  The monitor will often empty after a short time ('economy' mode) or only occasionally displays a picture and then turns off again. Using a LogiLink USB - C for Displayport is a bit more stable then the adapter Apple, but also often suffers the same problem.

  On a small monitor Samsung 1920 x 1080, the Apple Multi AV adapter seems to work perfectly well, but on the Dell, it is not stable (via HDMI to a resolution of 1920 x 1200, as the Dell only supports supported resolutions higher on DVI or DisplayPort).

  The map is updated latest firmware 2.33. Is there a problem with my MacBook (again)? Or is it a software problem? Is there a work around? Does anyone have a good experience with the MacBook to 2560x1600@60Hz on an external display?

  Hello Schendstok,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  If I understand your message you are trying to use an external monitor with your MacBook, but the monitor shows a white screen. I like to use external screens with my Mac too. I recommend the revision of this article to check if everything fits to the requirements and for some additional troubleshooting steps:

• Satellite A100-784 - external monitor flickers with AC adapter

  Hello

  I have problem with external monitor on Toshiba Satellite A100-784.

  _Problem 1: _
  External monitor blinks as a flag up and down when the adapter is connected to the laptop.
  What laptop works on this medication batery is ok. What is the problem of my od my laptop power adapter (graphics card) od something else?

  _Problem 2: _
  When I use samsung 22 "on batery then monitor does not Flash as a flag but pixels moves randomly left or right. I try to find new drivers for my graphics 945GM card, but on the toshiba support page there is an old drivers which was already instaled on my laptop.

  Hello!

  For your first problem, I think that the AC/DC adapter is faulty or it s a motherboard problem.
  This should be checked by a technician for laptop.
  I put t know what OS you use, but you can try to use the driver from the Intel Web site.
  There should be a more recent version available:

• 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

• 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 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 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 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.
