Dualview on 2 external displays Satellite P100

I just bought a Satellite P100 to replace my desktop computer expecting that since it has two external monitor outputs I could drive two external monitors simultaneously using DualView.
It would appear that I can have either:
Internal display + DVI connector display
or
Internal display + VGA connector display
Is it possible to have:
DVI connector display + VGA connector display?

Hi
In my knowledge its only possible to use one external output.
Therefore you should be able to use either the DVI output with the internal display or the RGB port (monitor port)
But its not possible to use both together DVI and RGB.

Satellite P100: Can I connect two external monitor to VGA & DVI port at the same time?

The Satellite P100 comes with two external monitor port. A VGA and a DVI. Can you have have two external monitor working at the same time? Can you have two external monitor as well as your internal display working at the same time (for a total of 3 display at the same time?
Here is what I have confirm:
Internal display + DVI connector display
OR
Internal display + VGA connector display
Is it possible to have:
DVI connector display + VGA connector display?
OR
DVI connector display + VGA connector display + Internal display?

As far as I know this is not possible and you can use either DVI or VGA port.
For signal output can be used only one port for external display.

Satellite L500 - How to show external display after closing lid?

Hi,
i`m using the Satellite L500-120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7 the laptop had a very comfortable function, when i applied an external display.
When i closed the lid of my notebook, the desktop was shown on my external display (with the native resolution of the external display), so i didn`t have to
switch anything at the Control Panel. In Windows 7, i`m missing this function. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there are no settings, which fits
with the earlier ones. I can duplicate the display, in order to see my desktop screen at my external display, but with the notebook resolution of 1366 x 768.
If i extend the displays, then there is only the background image at the external display, but this time with the native resolution.
So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that i closed the lid, and that the desktop screen has to be shown on my external display?
Or do i have to install one of the Toshiba applications, which i had before, that realized this function?
Thanks for any help!

Hi
Im not a Windows 7 user because I will wait until it will be released offical but I hope I can help you a little bit:
First of all in Power Management you can choose the action what happens if you close the Lid (e. g. sleep, turn off, etc.). This action should be disabled because otherwise the notebook will shut down or something else.
Then I think you have to install the display driver for your notebook. You can try the Vista driver because the most of them are work on Windows 7.
Then you should be able to set the correct screen resolution for external monitor.
A working display driver is important for clone or extends monitors so check this!!

Satellite L50-B-1P1 - external display is not working

I have just bought a satellite L50-B-1P1. When I tried to connect the RGB (VGA) port to a TV ( as a external monitor), the display screen of the laptop became smaller and the right part of the whole picture was missing, even when the external monitor was not switched on.
The laptop screen has left and right display a black background. The picture is located in the middle. Is this supposed to be normal or something is wrong with this laptop?
All answers are welcomed

As I understood the message, you have enabled the external display output and could see the picture on the TV.
The question is; what resolution the TV supported and what external output option did you choose?
The point is that you can switch to the external display choosing the option; extended desktop, clone display or you can switch off the internal display and show the picture only on external monitor TV.
In case you have cloned the display, both displays (internal + external) has to use the same resolution! In case the TV would support lower resolution, the internal notebook screen would lower the resolution too!
I would recommend you to read the user manual it provides some basic notebook knowledge

Satellite A300-202 - External display turned a strange color

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300-202 with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and after upgrade from vista to windows 7, my external display turned a strange color, seemed to lose the red color. Never show the white color, in which should show the white color shows the color blue.
I have uninstalled and installed again the graphic card drivers and update the new drivers but dont solved this trouble. My external monitor it's ok because I have tried with other laptop and don't have this trouble. I have also tried my laptop with other monitor and have the same trouble.
Anybody ever had this problem, someone who can help me?
Thanks,

Hi Xardas,
Yes I have problems only with the external monitor.
I tried both. Now I have the new beta version to the windows 7 64bits, downloaded from the amd/ati site, but I have tried also with the version available in the toshiba drivers page to my A300-202, and had the same problem.
Yes I have installed the new version of the BIOS too.
Thanks,

Satellite P100: USB/Fire-Wire ports not charging external device

When I plug my ipod into either my 4 pin fire-wire port or a USB port on my laptop (satellite P100) it fails to charge, even when plugged in to the mains/ A/C power. I think I have found where I need to go in 'control panel' but need help on how to allow my fire-wire and USB ports to give out power and charge my ipod when its connected.
Any help on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

Hi
The USB ports provide automatically the power. Usually every USB port provides about 500mA.
But please note; the notebook must run and the external USB device (iPod) must be recognized by Windows OS!
I dont know if the iPod was recognized by WinOS but I have read the many users have problems with the iPod installation on Windows OS. As far as I know the iTunes must be installed if you want to use the iPod.
Greetings

Where can I find new display drivers for Satellite P100

Hello,
i need new display drivers for my Notebook (Satellite P100), but it's only Version 84.0 to download.
I need version 162.0 or higher.
On Nvidia Web-Site is the new 167.0 beta, but does it work with my system?

The Toshiba graphic drivers on the Toshiba European driver page are not the same like the original graphic driver from the graphic card manufacturers.
Therefore you cannot compare the driver version numbers!
Generally the graphic driver which appears on the Toshiba page is the newest Toshiba driver.
Best regards

Displays switch around when using dual view on Satellite P100

I have a Satellite P100-434 (PSPADE). I am trying to use the laptop as the primary display and an LCD screen as a secondary monitor. I have found that no matter how I configure this, using either the Vista display properties or through the Nvidea control panel I am getting a problem where the monitors periodically swap over.
I am not bothered which device is the primary but getting the system to make it's mind up would be really usefull.
This seems to happen when I am typing, making me wonder if there is a keypress that I am inadvertantly triggering which is causing this to happen. Ideas anyone?

Hi,
you should do the following things:
- update your bios to the latest available version
- update your display drivers and any other remaining drivers in your system to the latest available version
- maybe, if the driver updates dont really help you out, recover your machine with the recovery media and check if the error re-appears.
IF all these steps didnt worked for you, then come back and we will discuss it further. :)

Satellite A200 external display is blurred

We have bought 5x satellite A200. After connecting it to any external display we get nothing but blurred picture.
It's impossible to work on it.
Our other notebooks P200 series work well on presented displays. We really do not know what to do with it. We tried to use Nvidia utility, WIndows utility, upgrading the drivers, switching the display via keyboard but we get the blurred picture in all cases.
We are very satisfied with A200 performance, but the external picture is unusable. Would you recommend us a solution?
Thank you!
Filippi

Hi
Could you please post exactly name of the Satellite A200.
Are these units delivered with an NVIDIA graphic card or with Intel card?
In the nVidia control panel you can change the brightness and the contrast of the display.
Im not 100% sure if you will be able to choose the external monitor but its worth a try.
Go to the control panel -> nVidia -> Display -> Adjust desktop colour settings
The new page should appear where you can adjust your colour settings.
Check if the external monitor appears and choose it. Then you could change the position of the brightness and contrast control.

Re: Satellite P100-160 - Display driver installation failed

Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, vista 32 bit,
Today Aero wasn't working and not available in graphics properties. Installed latest display driver from Toshiba UK site, Intel 15.0.1.1114. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe as it was the only one availabel that it must be correct.
The driver install failed with an error (no details just 'an error has occurred'). Now I have no aero and my display resolution cant be set above 1280x800 - should be 1440x900
To say I am pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? thanks

Hey,
If Aero is not available I dont think its display driver problem
Anyway, have you removed the old display driver before you installed the new one? Go to device manager > right click on graphic card > uninstall. After reboot the display driver should be uninstalled and you can start with display driver installation.
If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as Administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Restart once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
Check this!!!

Satellite M500 - Closing LID turns off external display

I just bought a new M500 today. I use a 46" TV as external display. When I close the lid the external display goes off and the laptop hibernates.
How do I stop this as I use the external display 95% of the time?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
This is only an option that you have to change in Windows Power Management. Go to power options and select the power profile that you are using. Edit the plan and scroll down until Power buttons and lid => Lid close action. Change this option to do nothing. With Apply and OK you save this settings.
Now you can try it again. I must say for me it did work because I also work with external monitor. :)

Can't use new external TV as a monitor for my Satellite P100-240

Hi
I have connected my Toshiba to a new Panasonic LCD 32" via a VGA cable.
When The computer boots up, I get the standard Toshiba opening page and then the Windows XP opening on the TV monitor, but then nothing while my laptop boots up.
When fully booted, I get the same desktop as the Toshiba on my TV BUT no icons etc, just the desktop.
If I change the screensave on the Toshiba, it changes on the TV so I am getting a connection.
Any advice or help greatly appreciated.
I have tried the usual things (e.g. checking box for extend my desktop onto this monitor)

Who knows why the FN keys dont work on the Satellite P100-240 PSPA3E.
Maybe the drivers and the utility were muddled up!
If you use the original Toshiba image on this notebook then everything should works ok!
You could try to refresh for example the Hotkey Utility which can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.
Furthermore the NVidia Geforce manager (you can find it in the control panel) provides different settings. Check this!

Satellite U500 - picture on external display appears yellow

I use to attach the external display to my laptop to expand my desktop.
All of sudden one da the external display turned yellow.
I can still use the screen but everything on external screen is yellowish.
I connected my laptop with other screen with my laptop and its still yellow, then I tried to connect other laptop to my screen and it worked fine.
It looks like there is some problem with hardware, I have upgrade drives and did all I can do with software but still not done :(
Regards
Sagar

> I connected my laptop with other screen with my laptop and its still yellow, then I tried to connect other laptop to my screen and it worked fine.
This means that this issue is related to notebook and not to the external monitor.
I think it could be a graphic card related issue since the display driver update or new installation didnt change the situation.
So what to say; the GPU needs to be checked and in my eyes this is a job for a Toshiba notebook technicians.
What do you think?

Satellite P100-119: display doesn`t work anymore

Hi all,
after resetting my notebook and installing the printer driver from the Epson homepage suddenly the graphic of my display was looking strange. I decided to start the laptop new. But then the display didn`t turn on either. Just the LED lights surrounding it were on but the display kept black.
Trying all to find a button for switching the display on and off brought the small result that the display worked again for a few days and then suddenly with a new start the same problem again. I decided to connect it with an external display and to open the BIOS. I managed to start the safe mode of windows and tried to renew all the drivers.
Suddenly the external display switched off and the laptop display switched on again. I restarted the laptop without external display and everything was ok - but just till the next day - now the problem is ongoing and I can just start with an external display in the safety mode.
Maybe one of you knows about the problem or can even help me. I would bring it to a service but at the moment I don`t have that much money for buying a new one or even repair it. At least it would be good to know in case what the repair costs might be...
Thx a lot to all who answer

no, not on the notebook screen, just on the external display which i connected to the notebook. but when i want to start the laptop normal without external the display keeps black with the light at the edge of the screen.
And when I want to start it normal with the external diyplay, the external display suddenly turns off. It just works with the safety mode.

Satellite P100-347: Blue screen appears on start up - unable to boot volume

Recently I left my 2 younger brothers playing NFS Carbon on my satellite P100-347, preinstalled with media centre 2005 edition, and now it fails to startup.
During the startup process eventually a blue screen is displayed for about a second and then it shutsdown (I manged to make out the words "unable to boot volume" from the blue screen).
I tried booting with an XP media centre DVD but it only gives me an option of reinstalling the OS with a price of losing all my very important data. Normally I would have recovered the system but I don't want to lose my data.
Is there anything i can do other than taking it to a technician?

Hi
Well, mostly the BSOD appears due to a hardware problem or serious software issue.
In your case the software problem is possible
Unfortunately, I think the new OS installation is the best way to get the notebook running correctly.
Now you want to know how to save the data and files well, I think you should remove the HDD from notebook and should try to connect the 2.5 HDD via external USB controller to another computer. Then you could save the files on the other HDD
I think, now you know that the regular backups are important and necessary!!!!
