Lenovo G580 extra monitors

Hello all, I'm curious as to why my laptop refuses to accept my second additional monitor as one of it's own, it recognizes that it's plugged in and recognizes it's existance as a monitor. I've tried restarting my laptop and have tried going into screen resolution and manually enabling it but to no avail. Any help anyone can offer would be amazing.

Hi Sarahvestal,
Below is the link to download exact display drivers for the computer and while installing the driver right click on the downloaded file and select “Run as administrator” option to get it installed without any error.

Does the Lenovo G580 mother board supports three monitors?

Hi,
I have a Laptop Lenovo G580 and I would like to know if it supports 3 monitors. The graphich card is not the problem but when I connect the third monitor to the HDMI port it shows that something is connected but doesn't detect the monitor.
After eading the documentation regarding windows 8 I learned that the problem could be the motherboard.
Please advise.
Thank you

It does not depend on the board but the cpu (and it's integrated gpu) being used. The board just offers the connectors for it. Check Intel's Configuration 3-Displays FAQ: http://www.intel.com/support/graphics/sb/CS-033714.htm
It lists supported and unsupported configs as well as possible modes and required igpus. With the correct mode and proper cpu a three screen setup is possible.

Hello guys!
Sorry for my english.I have a problem.I want to buy an additional monitor 27"(2560 x 1600)and connect it to my laptop.Will it work?
My laptop-Lenovo G580 Core I7 Geforse 2gb.(Vga and Hdmi ports)Which version of HDMI?

Hi reiwp,
if our system is configured with NVIDIA® GeForce® GT630M 1GB/2GB graphics checking it with Nvidia it supports
Display Support:
Up to 2560x1600 Maximum Digital Resolution
Up to 2048x1536 Maximum VGA Resolution
so to answer your Question "Yes" your system will be able to support the display you're planning to purchase.
for HDMI you can get these as support for HDTV
Hoe this helps,
Cheers!

My New Lenovo G580 - Blue Screen Error

Hi,
I have bought a new lenovo G580 (Intel B950/2GB/500GB) with DOS (on Friday - 21 Spetember, 2012).
I have installed another 2GB RAM in the extra slot. So, I have a total of 2+2 GB RAM now.
I installed Windows7 in it. It has worked fine for 1 day, but when I installed the G580 bluetooth, wifi drivers, it started crashing with bluescreen creating a dump file. Now I am even unable to start the system. I have formatted the system twice by could not trace it out. I have seen other forums and found out that it is due to some dropbox issues etc., But I have not installed even 1 software. As soon as I installed windows7, I started with the drivers (Drivers DVD came along with my laptop)
Please help me.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sudheer,
If you are able to open windows go to
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Performance Information and Tools\Advanced Tools and select the last option to "generate system health report" .If something is wrong with the system or a service windows will flag it for you. If you are not able to open windows and try opening it in the safe mode(press F8 during startup) check for the same.
Also try opening windows in a clean state
In the System Configuration Utility dialog box, click Selective Startup on the General tab.
Click to clear the Load Startup Items check box.
Note The Use Original Boot.ini check box is unavailable.
Click the Services tab.
Click to select the Hide All Microsoft Services check box.
Click Disable All, and then click OK.
When you are prompted, click Restart.
If this does not cause a BSOD then I would suspect there is a driver conflict/compatiablity in your system.Can you provide the exact error in the BSOD which you see?
Hope this helps
Cheers and regards,

Lenovo G580 Screen becoming blurred sometimes

Hi Team,
I've bought a Lenovo G580 laptop this Saurday, 23rd March, 2013. On the second day, when I switched on the laptop the desktop screen had lines like cracks and the icons are not clear. The screen is displayed like blurred out and will be displayed with light blue dots. After some 10 to 15 mins, this will be clear and will be displayed clearly.
Can anyone pls help me on fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Hi sdinesh77,
Thanks for posting and welcome to the Lenovo Community,
I’d like to ask you about the lines that appear up on the screen are they even during the boot process?
And I’d like to ask you to connect external monitor during the boot process to check if the same lines appears on the external monitor?
Please share with us the windows version.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Soha

Lenovo G580 displays white screen when turned on

Hello Team,
My Lenovo G580 is turning white on start. It was working fine, suddenly it flashed a white screen.
In a particular spot a black patch is developing and gets heated up.
I did
-remove the battery, holded the power button for 30 secs and then turned on with battery.
But it did not help.
Please help me with the issue.
Thanks in advance.

hi Harsha_28,
Welcome to the Forums.
If the black patch is similar to the picture below then the issue is most likely with the LCD assembly - possibly dead pixels (you can verify this by connecting an external monitor via the VGA port).
If you're in India, I recommend you contact Lenovo and report the issue.
Telephone number:
1800-3000-5366
1800-419-7555
Hours of operation:
10AM - 7PM
Monday - Saturday
Except Holidays
Regards

Lenovo G580 Blue Screen With Dropbox

Dear Lenovo community,
I bought a new Lenovo G580 last week, but dropbox causes the system to crash (Blue Screen).
Windows gives the following error codes:
ffff8a00b9ffa0a
000000000000
ffff80003092be1
000000000000
I found a previous post on this forum with the problem (http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Lenovo-3000-and-Essential/Lenovo-G580-BSOD-problems-with-certain-applica... but there was no solution back then.
Any Ideas on how to solve this?
Kind Regards

Not sure if this helps, but I did a memtest with this program:

And it claims "Could not allocate 4095 MB".
This would imply mij memory chips are failing right? So this is a hardware problem?

Lenovo G580 boot menu is not working when pressing F2 and F12 key

QuestionI bought a new Lenovo G580 series laptop. After installation of Windows 7 Ultimate x64 bit edition, a problem revealed when Lenovo driver get installed.
When I installed Intel HD 3000 graphics driver and restarted laptop, the Window was unable to start normally. It displayed an error, so a recovery program started which was recommended. But this program failed to resolve the problem. Later, I tried again to load Windows normally but the blue screen fatal error showed up.
I attempted to reinstall Windows again, but after restarting window, the boot menu was not showing up after pressing F12 key. F2 key was also not working either.
I spoke to a Lenovo techincal assistance expert and they suggested me to remove battery and charger and press start key for 30 seconds.
My problem still remains the same, and I am unable to access boot menu.
The bios version is 62cn34ww. ls there a way I can get this running again?
AnswerPlease take note that the suggestion below is just a troubleshooting guide. If the steps could not fix the issue, you need to send you machine in for service for further assistance.
Try removing the hard disk , then press F2 button to enter BIOS
If you are successful in entering the bios, pleaes load set up defaults
Save setting by pressing F10 and shut the machine down
Connect the hard drive back and check if can enter BIOS via F2 and F12 to see boot menu

Error related to EFI system..unable to install windows 7 64-bit on lenovo g580..

Hi,
I have Lenovo g580 which had DOS preinstalled in it {i5, 500GB, 4GB} and initially I had installed Win 7 32-bit on it. At that time, it gave some problem while rebooting 1st time, but i ran repair windows option and everything ran smoothly.
But the problem came when I tried to install windows 7 64-bit on the laptop using a DVD, no matter which drive I select, it does not allow me to go ahead. When I checked the details, I got the error message which is attached here.
Link to image
There is no disk controller option in BIOS, nor is there anything related tto UEFI systems.
i did r&d on uefi systems, but i want to be sure of everything before i go ahead with anything.
Any help would be appreciated.

Go to Solution.

Thanks for no help guyz!
but i found a way..so for anybody else out there..here is the solution..
When installing at the partition screen hit Shift+F10.
At the prompt type diskpart and press Enter.
Type list disk (Not the number of the disk you want to use)
Type select disk X where is X is the number of the disk you want to use.
Type clean. This will erase all the data on your system.
Type convert gpt
Now reboot the system with the DVD/USB, and you will see only Unallocated Space. Use that to install the new windows.
Be warned though, this will clear out the partition table on the drive; make sure you have a backup before attempting this if you have important data

Can I use split screens on and extra monitor I have. I can get mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900.

Can I use split screens on an extra monitor I have? I can get a mirror image on both screens, but not a split screen. The monitor is 1600 x 900 AOC 20inch monitor. Hope I haven't wasted my money buying this £69 monitor. My 13" Macbook Pro is a little small for my ageing eyes. Thanks

In the display settings on your computer uncheck "mirrored". This will put the displays in "extended" mode. In extended mode you can set the external display to its native resolution as well as drag windows from your computer to the external monitor. I assume that is what you mean when you say "split screen".

Can you WIRELESSLY connect a macbook pro to a monitor to have extra work space on a separate screen from your macbook? (not mirror, extra monitor/workspace)

It needs to be wireless.
I am not asking about mirroring, but as a second screen.
Apple tv communties said the Apple tv cannot do this, but maybe another type device can?

My thunderbolt port stopped working on my late 2011 MacBook Pro rendering my external monitor useless--or so I thought.
Mac Genius suggested using the Apple TV via AirPlay Display as a $100 solution. Took me all of 6 minutes to figure this out as there are no directions in the Apple TV box supporting this. But, it does work and I am now back in business.
PS. Don't set up with bluetooth--seems logical but you want to use AirPlay Display under Settings > Displays.
Also, I originally thought my external monitor stopped working because I upgraded the OS. This time, it was definitely a hardware issue and not software. It also fixed a known sound issue my monitor had with Macs. First time in my 15 years I've ever had a ViewSonic have issues with an Apple product, too. Thanfully, it is now fixed.
Hope this helps.

Using a laptop as an extra monitor

I have a G5 desk top, and an old power mac G4 laptop. The laptop is pants now and reallly slow. What I would liek to do is use the laptop as an extra monitor, as I work a lot in final cut pro, and studio pro, so a separate screen woudl be very handy. Is there any way to connect the two so that the laptop is just a second monitor?

I don't know the answer to your question of whether there's Mac software to do this. I do know there is Windows XP software to do the same thing on Windows (one such program is http://www.maxivista.com), so I wouldn't be surprised if there is similar software for Mac. In fact, I might be disappointed if there is not similar software for Mac.
One other possible option is to use something like VNC. If there are any VNC servers for the Mac that allow you to set up a server as a second virtual display, then you could run a VNC client on your laptop. It wouldn't be fast, but might be good enough. But I'm a Mac newbie, and don't know what VNC servers exist for it.
