The display is loose on my Portege R500 - how to tighten the hinges?

The display is loose on my portege r500.

Does anyone know how to tighten the hinges?

Hello

I think that this procedure is very delicate and in my opinion it s a job for a technician.
I m don't know if you can tighten the hinges if necessary he s need to replace the old hinges

Is it the hinges are hidden under the plastic around the screen frame.
The LCD mask is fixed with screws I m but not quite sure how much could be three screws. They are hidden under the mask of small cushions.
You will need to remove and the tightness of the extra mask.
Then you can remove the LCD mask. The hinges should be visible now

But there s more complicated as it may seem the R500 is a nice unit, and it would be a shame that you would damage the LCD screen. The LCD screen is an expensive part, and in my opinion it is worth to ask a professional for help

Then I insert the CD change once again, the sequence of boot on the CD, but now, the computer does not recognize the recovery CD. Now, the freezing of the PC after start.

    5. I believe that the solid state SSD laptop drive has failed.

    I opened my laptop to check what I need to buy the brand SSD. However, is the first time that I change a SSD drive and I don't know where he is and how to replace. So, if someone can answer with the steps of how to do to replace the SSD I will appreciate it.

    Thank you
    Nils.

    Hello!

    In my opinion, it could also be a problem with the CD/DVD drive. I mean you have tried another drive and the computer laptop doesn t read this disc too.
    So for me it sounds like this drive is also defective.

    But as Akuma said you should also check the SATA Mode in the BIOS.

    I think the best way would be to contact you nearest ASP. They can check a defective hardware for laptop parts and Exchange. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.
    The ASP s list that you can find here:

  • Portege R500 - how to activate Vista backlight function?

    Hello

    I installed Vista Ultimate x 86 on my R500. To enable all the features that I have downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba support pages - including value-added Pakage, who as far as I know should enable the backlight function. However, I was not able to turn on the backlight of the laptop features. If I press the button for backlight function nothing happens :-(

    Any ideas how to solve this problem?

    Kind regards

    Johannes

    Hello

    First of all he must know that sometimes it can happen that Toshiba VAP would not fully support Vista Ultimate.
    This means that some features unique VAP wouldn not like on preinstalled Vista Home Premium

    In any case, there are a few options that need to be verified;
    First go into the BIOS and check if the LED light is activated (some BIOSES contain this option). Second, you should check the Toshiba control utility buttons if LED lighting has been assigned to this button too.

    I m R500 not owner but I have are a U400 Sat and lighting such option in my Toshiba control utility.

    Since to resume the touchpad does not scroll.
    I checked the Control Panel, and it gives me only options for the number of lines per click of the scroll wheel down, so that it looks like, he thinks it's a normal mouse.

    In addition, it has no icon in the notification area on the taskbar to display when you press the key, which he was, and you can access a lot of parameters such as the size of the area of scroll etc...
    I checked the driver and it is the same as that available in the downloads section if it is not that, but I can find no trace of this another piece of software anywhere.

  • Portege R500 - configure the parser on the Port Replicator

    The system is Portege R500 with a port replicator Port MS Vista running. Port replicator has a Philips 19 "LCD monitor

    System has BEEN configured so that when the system was in the duplicator monitor 19 "inches would be active and system monitor is inactive.

    But, a few days before the following events occur, when the system is in the port replicator and its turned on screen (the one with the mobile progress indicator) Windows startup is displayed on the Port Replicator monitor, then the screen turns white and displays them on the screen on the monitor system, after entering the desktop on the monitor system.

    I live in a remote area, so I can't pop in the store of the local computer to ask for help.

    I would appreciate someone to give me some guidance as to where it configures the port replicator monitor configuration. I looked at the section Configuration screen Control Panel but it seems to be the performance of two monitors, it appears not to address the peculiarities of a laptop computer with a port replicator configuration

    Thank you

  • Toshiba Portege R500 - external display display problem

    At my work, we have a number of series laptops Toshiba Portege R500. All laptops are home in a Toshiba Slim Port Replicator II. Laptops are all running a version of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 applied (and of course a few customization business).

    The problem is with the display on the external monitor. The laptop starts according to the normal and connects to the fine. The Fn + F5 key and so we can switch between the external LCD screen and the laptop monitor. We can also extend the desktop on the external monitor without problem.

    The problem is that when the disconnection of the laptop computer to the port replicator, when the laptop is brought back, the display of the external monitor does not display anything. The monitor receives a signal that we don't get errors about "cable disconnected" etc. By bike by Fn + F5, the monitor will go to sleep (as the adjustment is only to be on the laptop screen). By pressing Fn + F5 again, the monitor seems to wake up but there is no display on the external monitor.

    The only resolution we have found because so far, it's to stop & restart the laptop and the external screen works again. However detach and the problem occurs again.

    Thought this might be a driver problem or a problem of Toshiba Utilities, so have updated the drivers accordingly. The drivers installed by default are the Intel 945 Express 6.14.10.4837 driver version. I tried to update the drivers for the next version (using drivers from the Web from Toshiba site) and changes to the version of the driver 6.14.10.4631. I also tried the Intel driver version 14324.

    I also installed the Toshiba screen utilities and shortcut keys to see if this may have an effect, but unfortunately not. I also tried to change the BIOS settings for the display of 'Automatic Selection' to LCD + CRT RGB, and once again it has no effect. I also tried several configurations in the "display settings" does not.

    Is this just a design problem? Is anyway to fix that?

    Hello

    I Portege R500 in front of me with the same port replicator and 21 "Toshiba TFT display (connected to the DVI port on the Port Replicator).

    Please open "Toshiba Mobile Extension" utility (you can find it in Control Panel), then click on the second tab > change of display service.
    If please activate this service and choose your preferred display output.

    I tested it 10 minutes ago and it works perfectly.

    Hello

    How have you tried to exit from display on an external monitor?
    Usually, you use the FN + F5 key combination.
    This allows you to switch between the two screens; laptop + external display.

    I had a problem to view a video on the external monitor because the video is already running. You must switch to the external display until you start the movie, etc.
