Dear Community,

the background seems correctly displayed.

GE60 2PE-003 External screen issues

Hello everyone. I recently purchased the GE60 which i have connected to an external display using the HDMI port.
I'm having issues that only affect it when the external monitor is connected, the first one; when windows starts for the first several seconds the screen flickers and artifacts all over the screen (looks kind of like lego blocks).
Then any time i start the game I play Final Fantasy XIV in full screen with the external monitor connected it clicks in and out (audibly) with the screen blanking randomly for the first minute or so.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be happening and how it could be resolved? I hope it is not a hardware issue.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion; I swapped out the cable earlier today and there was no change in the symptoms.
Just a moment ago the screen went blank and just stayed blank instead of switching back and forth.
This screen and cable never had any issues with my previous computer.
What's the graphics driver you're using? and which external monitor are you connecting with?
Try to update the version from MSI website. (both intel and NVIDIA)
http://www.msi.com/support/nb/GE60-2PE-Apache-Pro.html#down-driver&Win8.1 64
Also, which mode are you using for the external monitor? (clone/extend/secondary)
Do they all have the screen problem? Do you switch the display by using the Fn+F2 or the Win+P? (Does the problem happen under both situation?)
Does this only happen when you run the Final Fantasy XIV?
Are you still getting screen flickering, blinking or artifacts?

A brand new W540 and the Ultra Dock humms, black out external screen, won't recognize mouse and some

Just received a W540 and an Ultra Dock. Here is my first impressions.
During setup ... tried to connect my speakers directly onto the laptop.... HUMMMMM! (really loud humming sound, until Windows loads ...sounds like a short somewhere ...). Ok, obviously sound is not the main focus of W540.
After a little while... boink! ... and the external screen goes black accompanied with the "Windows detected something disconnect"-sound. No matter what I clicked on the keyboard, or how much a moved the mouse, the external screen wouldn't turn on again. I had to flip up the screen on the laptop, and tada, Windows reported that something connected again, and the external screen turned on again. Turns out that I need to keep the laptop screen open at all times now, and now and then both screens disconnect and connect again. Not completely a showstopper, but somewhat annoying. Ok, how to fix - enter "lenovo ultra dock black screen" in Google and see that a bunch of people have experienced the same thing. After some reading, I found this official support page "LENOVO THINKPAD PRO DOCK AND THINKPAD ULTRA DOCK ARE CAUSING DISPLAY ISSUES ON EXTERNAL MONITORS" (http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/documents/ht081248). Seems to fit my situation perfectly. Just download the fwdphb03.exe program and follow the instructions. But does fwdphb03.exe even start?!? NO!
Just a brief flicker and no application nor instructions to follow. In addition, I am Administrator on my machine. Please make applications that at least attempt to work....
I have an Aten mouse and keyboard switch (KVM) (CS-1784 to be precise), which have been working seamlessly for years on all other machines I have (VMWare images with different Windows versions, Raspberry Pi and Mac). Connecting the KVM with it's mouse and keyboard renders a working keyboard and a dead mouse (remember - switching to one of the other machines renders working keyboard and mouse instantly).... <rant on>pheeew, starting to get a bad feeling here. OBVIOUSLY we have a lot of cool hardware like USB 3 and DisplayPort and what not, but WHAT DOES THAT MATTER, when the Lenovo folks can't program this stuff properly?</rant off>
The W540 comes with a lot of Lenovo software. Much of it is really good and useful. But what happened when you try to log in to Windows? For some reason Lenovo want to inform you that the Num Lock is on when you see the standard login screen. The message something like "Num Lock is on - your password may be entered incorrectly". All in some black background, covering OVER the login field in Windows !!!! Hey, the laptop has a numeric keyboard, I don't need this message. Luckily others again have experience the same thing. At this page http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/New-T540p-numlock-warning-at-login/td-p/142... I get the tip that I need to rename the tpnumlk.exe to something else. Gone was the stupid message.
My advice to Lenovo - don't include stuff that harvest a lot of complaints and that obviously is going to annoy your customers. Even if the machine was one with a small keyboard and no separate numeric keyboard, I would NEVER EVER want to have some ugly black box covering over the standard login field… I can’t even imagine that the developer of this tool, use it (nor like it)! That is exactly why bloatware gets its reputation.
I would of course understand all this if I were talking about cheap machines and some wacko docking station. But I am not.... This is state-of-the-art, 2014, expensive-style laptop from the same manufacturer.
PS! At the end of this session, Lenovo tells me that there is a problem with the powersystem, and that it want to reduce power to sustainable levels....

can you connect the device in _*recovery mode*_ ?

The Windows 7 Black Screen Issue

I am putting in Bootcamp with a Windows 7 install. I checked these forums and made sure I had all my prep work done.
I referenced article TS3173 and downloaded the neccessary drivers for 7, formatted a 16GB SD Card as FAT Bootable and copied the drivers and autounattend.xml files onto the root of the drive.
THe installation as going as planned but at the end I'm still ending up with a black screen. Windows is installed ok but on the restart after" Preparing for FIrst Use" comes up the screen goes black.
Obviously, the drivers are not being installed from the SD card, I tried it on a USB External driver as well. Am I missing something here? I read every post I could find on it and I can't see where I am doing anything incorrectly.
Thanks
Tom

You don't need Paragon or another NTFS driver. That may work (I've used it, but I was using a full hard drive anyway to begin with).
Apple's method:

*My iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) displays a black screen during installation of Microsoft Windows 7 using the Boot Camp Assistant. How do I fix it?*
The Windows 7 installer does not include required graphics or Bluetooth drivers for this computer. To obtain the necessary drivers and resolve the issue, see this article (creating the SD card and drivers for the "black screen" issue).

MacBook Pro retina and external screens

I connect my recently arrived 15" MacBook Pro retina to one of three 24inch Led displays which I use at different work locations... On two occasions on start up the external screen did not turn on. Power is on, USB not, led display is off, System preferences Displays module finds it... but there's not way to turn the screen on. Next day the very same screen turned on without anything particular being changed. Today I've not been able to turn on another of these screens, yesterday the third screen functioned beautifully more than 12 hrs.
Any suggestions about why this may be happening?
Thank you

Eventually I got so annoyed I tried going back to a time machine backup when everything was still fine. (restoring Mac OSX to a time when the issue occured did not help). That worked, however it would be nice to know how to reset the display settings without losing progress.

External screen doesn't go into standby when putting MacBook Pro into sleep

I'm using a new MacBook Pro with an external monitor (DELL P2411H) through a Mini Displayport to DVI adapter.
When putting the Macbook into sleepmode, the external screen goes into standby but immediately wakes up, then goes back into standby and wakes up ... this cycle doesn't stop. The only option is to manually push the powerbutton on the display.
I'm having this issue too when using a MacBook Pro 13", so it's not a single issue.

I got similar Problem, my external monitor will go to standby mode and then switch on immediately, and the go to sleep , and the monitor will show no signal detect

EXTERNAL SCREEN ON 8220 PEARL NOT WORKING

Well, I lost my OS in the middle of December. Thanks to everybody's help I managed to get a generic OS reloaded and then I went back to the Blackberry Desktop Manager and reloaded my phone provider's (Orange) specific OS. I've also managed to reinstall my backup data and reloaded various apps. Hooray!
However the external screen is completely blank. The only time that it displays anything is when I turn off the phone and then it briefly displays the "T Mobile" logo. (it was originally a T Mobile phone)
How do I get the external screen to turn back on please?
Thanks,
Simon

Try backing up your device via the BlackBerry Desktop Software and performing a clean reload of your device software. http://bbry.lv/bpv7DT
Make sure to test for the issue before restoring any data from your backup file. Then do a selective restore as shown here: http://bbry.lv/bhaArf making sure to restore essential data only such as contacts and calendar.

Volume can't be adjusted when external screen is attached

After the OS update of Yosemite my volume on my macbook pro can't be adjusted when the external video by HDMI is attached.
It seems that the control of sound is transferred to the external screen, unfortunately my screen volume can only be set by changing the settings on the screen menu and this is not an friendly task. Also fast muting is than not possible
No ide to solve this!
Kind regards,
Luuk

Yosemite upgrade changes sound output from default to installed HDMI display speakers. But Mac does not control these speakers. So this issue might happened.
If you have any external device which is attached with speakers, Mac wants to make that output device.
Go to System Preferences -> Sound and change the output device to Internal speakers.

Firewire device looses connection when external screen is inserted into the thunderbolt port? HELP

HI
I am a recording studio engineer. Ive got a Firewire AD/DA Converter (Focusrite Saffire Pro 56) running from my Firewire port of my MacBook Pro, which is running OSX Mavericks. I've also got an external Screen I want to use as an extended display. I'm using a HDMI cable from the screen to a HDMI to Thunderbolt Converter which I then plug into my Thurderbolt Port.
As soon as I plug the screen in, the Firewire Port looses connection completely and I cant use or even choose the Saffire Pro 56 as audio driver. Another thing happens where the Thunderbolt port replaces the Saffire Pro 56 Driver with the screen as the audio output source.
Please help, there's nothing I can find to fix this.
Thanks Maurice

You don't mention which model you have, but this is from the M-Audio Firewire 410 Manual Troubleshooting section:
The FireWire 410 has been designed to give you high performance and professional quality audio. It has been tested under a wide range
of systems and operating conditions. In the real world, however, there is a nearly infinite number of possible operating scenarios, any of
which could affect your system’s performance. Much like owning an automobile, “your mileage may vary.” This section can not begin to
cover all possible issues you may encounter, however we want to give you some suggestions on common problems you may experience.
One thing to avoid is connecting too many devices. The FireWire bus is a dependable, high-speed, high-bandwidth protocol which is ideally
suited for digital audio. Nonetheless, it’s important to remember that audio and multimedia streaming places considerable demands on
your processor and the FireWire bus. Although it is theoretically possible to chain many multiple FireWire devices in series, doing so may
potentially degrade your audio performance.
I guess this degradation could also affect the Firewire HD. Maybe there is a simple fix, but it sounds like the M-Audio people have been down this road before.

RMBP - external screen turns black for a few seconds every once in a while

My external screen (Dell U2711) connected via Thunderbolt to Displayport cable turns black every once in a while. The rMBP is in clamshell mode. When it starts it randomly blackens the screen for 2 seconds with an interval of 10 seconds to 5 minutes. A restart usually fixes the issue but it keeps coming back after some time.
Has anybody here experienced something similar?
What can be the cause of that?
This really starts to annoy me, because it seems I have to do reboot everytime I connect my laptop to my screen.

Never had the sort of problem - but then I've an Apple Thunderbolt Display and it just 'works'.
Could be that you're adapter is shot. You could buy a (or some) new ones from Monoprice (much cheaper than what Apple's third-party solutions sell for) and see if that's the problem.
Sorry I can't offer a more helpful solution...

I need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

i need to connect my Imac 27'' (newest version) up to 3/4 monitors (all 40'' LCD tv's with VGA and HDMI connections) with extended display to all external screens, not duplicate images. Is this possible?

I would suggest you visit an Apple dealer, preferably an Apple Store if there's one in your city, and ask for assistance in determining what you need. The questions and issues you bring up are rather complex to address in a technical support forum and would be better addressed in person where you and the salesperson can ask questions back and forth to arrive at the optimal setup.

White screen issue on Compag

My Compaq is currently displaying only a white screen. The laptop boots up fine and displays fine on an external monitor.
I have taken it apart and reseated the connectors on both the screen and the motherboard with no effect. So I am sure it's not a loose connection.
Before I go and splash out on a new replacement screen, is this an issue that is usually seen when the screen itself is at fault. Could it be the cable? or the connection on the motherboard itself. Is there a way to be certain?
I don't want to buy a new screen and find it's not at fault.
Many thanks!

Hello, @Skyfox
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you have a white screen issue with the notebook. I will try to assist you.
With the steps you've taken and the fact it works correctly with an external, leaves only the display screen as the possible cause. That being said, there is no 100% way to know that it is not a cable causing the issue.
Typical steps for this issue:
Restart notebook
Hard reset notebook
Test with external monitor
Reconnect LCD cables and check all other display cables
Have notebook serviced.
You're at the point of service. This really limits the options, and a display replacement may not correct the issue.
I hope this adds any insight to the choice you need to make next.
Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

Can't optimize resolution for external screen

Hi,
I'm having a very frustrating issue with my Macbook Air running Yosemite. I want to use my 1080p external screen as the main one, but no matter what I try, my my mac optimizes for the built-in display resolution, not for the external one (which is therefore blurry). The weird thing is that when I close the macbook lid, the resolution is fixed. However I need to be able to use the built-in keyboard and touchpad, so need to keep it open.
Any ideas how to fix this?
My settings screenshot attached - with this I am not getting 1080p on my external display, but something blurry and scaled..
Thanks

Hello michalfromvimperk,
You may need to verify that your display arrangement is set for Extended Desktop rather than Mirroring.
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, then click Arrangement.
Open the Arrangement pane for me
Follow the onscreen instructions.

Connecting external Screen with Toshiba DynaDock U3

Hi,
I have the following issue:
Bought two external Screens (Dell U2412M)
Notebook: ASUS Zenbook
Dynadock Station U3
Now, I connected the first Screen with DVI to the DynaDock and it works perfectly.
The Dockstation has only 1 port for DVI, so i had to connect the second Screen through HDMI, but unfortunately my dell Screens do not have HDMI Connection, but displayPort. so I bought a cable which can connect Displayport to HDMI. And i connected the Screen displayport with HDMI to the DynaDock.
Unfortunately my device do not recognize the second external Screen.
I have no idea why it is so.
Hope some kindly Person can help me.
Kind Regards,
Alessandro

>I have no idea why it is so.
Possible its not Dynadock issue
You should firstly check if the cable you bought is OK and would work without the usage of Dynadock
Connect an external monitor to HDMI port using this cable and check if it would work properly.
and just to confirm: the Dynadock U3 can handle up to 2 external monitors simultaneously.

Shattered screen, external screen in standby with Satellite A10-S203

The screem of my Toshiba Satellite A10-S203 is shattered, it is all tripes, colors and black spaces. I connected the laptop with an external screen, but as soon as Windows starts the external screen goes on stand-by. How can I change this?

Hello,
I have had this issue as well before. After Windows starts the video is reset resetting the video output to LCD instead of external monitor. Once this happens try using Fn+F5. If this does not work, you might be able to boot up and press F8, once it gives you the windows selection menu go to safe mode. Once there go to video properties and change the default settings to external monitor, and try rebooting normally. Should work wonders. Hope this helps, if not let me know.
