Lenovo M92P 2992E5U Monitor problem

Just recently bought a Lenovo M92P 2992EU from amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-2992E5U-M92p-Desktop/dp/B00A2V3SV0/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1375841434&sr...
When i plug my monitor to the motherboard VGA port, there's no display on the monitor.  However, when i plug my monitor into the Video card's VGA port, there's display. 
What's wrong with it? This is my second lenovo with the same problem. I didnt do anything to it. It is my first day using it.  Also, i called Lenovo Tech Support, they remotely helped me do all of the driver update....

You must enable multi-monitor support if you wish to use the internal graphics when a graphics card is installed.

  • M93p dual monitor problems; monitor turns off and cannot be turned on again

    Hi,
    we have multiple M93p tiny computers causing problems in dual monitor setup (VGA / Displayport->DVI). Our users (already >5)  keep telling us, they leave their workplace, return, then DVI attached monitor if off and they do not find a way to turn it on. This is true; the only workaround that has been found by our users is to bring Win7/32bit into standby mode and awaking it again.
    Needless to say, we turned all windows energy saving options off (computer standby/hibernate, monitor turn off). Still the problem appears.
    Maybe there is something wrong with DVI power/DVI signal?
    - Monitor independent, as far as I can see
    - Independent from Windows energy saving modes
    - BIOS updates did not help
    [todo]: Try Intel/(AMD?) drivers, let users test.
    I haven't seen exactly when the monitor turns off because it is reported by users. I had a testing machine, but was not able to reproduce.

    Anyone?
    Thx

    Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
    Back up all data on the internal drive(s) before you hand over your computer to anyone. If privacy is a concern, erase the data partition(s) with the option to write zeros* (do this only if you have at least two complete, independent backups, and you know how to restore to an empty drive from any of them.) Don’t erase the recovery partition, if present.

  • Cant Get Optimal Resolution with Lenovo L192 LCD Monitor after GeForce video driver upgrade

    Hello,
    I just upgraded my GeForce video drivers for the integrated GeForce 6100 video chipset in my Lenovo 3000 series desktop.  My monitor is a Lenovo L192 LCD.  It has been working fine but I decided to upgrade the video drivers.  After installation and reboot, I can no longer get the optimal resolution of 1440 x 900 for this monitor.  The highest resolution offered is 1360 x 768.  I had this same problem the last time I upgraded the video drivers but somehow I manged or someone told me how to get the higher resolution.  I reverted back to the old driver that was working fine and now I can't get the higher resolution with that driver either.  I think I have the latest driver provided by Lenovo for the monitor.
    I am running Windows XP SP3.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Could you fix it or does anyone else have a solution?

  • Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

    Hi,
    I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
    I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
    My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
    Thanks if you can help!
    Jack

    You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
    Joy joy hallelujah.
    Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
    Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
    Hope that helps.

  • Anybody using M83 with Win 8/8.1 and a non-Lenovo touch screen monitor?

    Colleagues,
    My first post, thinking of buying a couple of custom ThinkCentre M83 and wanted to make sure they work well with Windows 8/8.1 and a non-Lenovo touch screen monitor.
    Thanks in advance.

    That is a very good question.  The reason I am asking this is because Lenovo also said that the AIO C325 were touch screen and I bought 3 of them for a small business I have.  None of the 3 screens work as touch screens and, of course, they are already out of warranty.
    In this case, I plan to purchase 2 M83's which will not be particularly cheap once I add all the components I need and I will not be very happy with Lenovo if a third party touch screen didn't work.
    So, I am looking for forum users who have M83's with third party touch screens to make sure I won't get into trouble again.
    Regards.

  • Photoshop CS3 doesn't like "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" color management profile

    When launching Photoshop CS3 Extended, I get a warning:
    The monitor profile "Lenovo ThinkPad LCD Monitor" appears to be defective. Please rerun your monitor calibration software.
    [Ignore Profile] [Use Anyway]
    If this can be confirmed, could it please be the target of a minor update/patch?
    This recent T61p 15.4" WSXGA+ notbook's monitor is honestly pretty bad in terms of color accuracy. The overall sense is very blue; yellows show up orange. Is this normal? But that's really a side issue. I do most of my work on an external monitor anyway.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you very kindly, Erik; my searches hadn't found that. However, my T61p appears to already have that software -- not surprising as that was released in December and this notebook was built about a month ago.
    I tried the instructions given, but Windows said my computer was already up-to-date. I suppose I could try uninstalling what the computer came with and reinstalling the download...
    [Edit 1]
    Ah, wait... I retried it from the device manager instead of display properties -- here, I could be sure I was picking the proper "monitor" (the display properties showed only my external monitor). It did instal... said I had version 4.0 and v 4.1 has the "fix" according to the readme.
    It wants me to reboot. I'll post again if somehow that didn't do it.

    [Edit 2]
    Yes, indeed... Photoshop no longer complains. So, I wonder why this isn't in the software build or at least in the updates I've been faithfully downloading. But thanks again, Erik.

  • Lenovo doesn't solve problems in Warranty

    S/N: CBxxxxxxxx
    Ticket: 7020288989
    Model: G570
    Phone support in Romania, Service in Poland
    First times in service they changed hdd and motherboard.
    Now, when the issues are clearly visible they do not find anything. I am thinking that they do not want to refund since this is the third time in service and the last time.
    Problem Description:
    At a simple touch in different places the laptop is freezing or reset. Also the bios clock got to the default time: 01/01/2010

    Conclusion:
    1. Phone support - I know more things than they do (I work with computers)
    2. Service - unable to find a simple problem
    3. Communication problem between phone support in Romania and service in Poland

    Moderator Note; s/n edited for member's own protection

    Patternflyer,
    I've very sorry to hear that this wound up being such an ordeal for you! 
    The way it is supposed to work, is that models sold through distribution (whether Best Buy, CDW, etc) have the 12 months plus a couple of months of "padding" added to make up for time spent in inventory in distribution.   Usually a customer will have at least 12 months of time that way.  The warranty starts from date of manufacture.
    In some cases, it took more time to sell through than expected and the customer might have less than 12 months by the time they get it.  This can be reset, as you note, with a proof of purchase showing the type and serial number of the unit.
    Custom configured systems ordered direct through Lenovo are shipped directly from manufacturing, and so the warranty starts then.
    I agree with many of your points and we are working toward more chat services to be available, and also more integrations when you register your system.   With a direct sale, we know the customer, while in a retail scenario, we won't.   Ideally the registration process will update records.
    I am also optimistic that we will have greater account integration in the not too distant future - where your account registered could have credentials connected with our support site, sales, the forum and other Lenovo properties.
    Best regards,

  • Activity Monitor problems increase CPU and power burn

    Migration Assistant worked very nicely, transferring from a Powerbook G4 with 30GB of files and data in about 45min via Firewire.
    However, after 2 days of usage, the CPU was still running at 80% and applications were incredibly sluggish. My battery calibration at full charge only showed a little over 1 hour. Activity Monitor also would not show any processes -- the list was completely blank.
    The solution was to rename the Preferences folder, allowing programs to create a new Preferences folder. I then selectively populated the new folder with the main old preferences for mail, Safari, etc. This not only solved the Activity Monitor problem, but immediately drove down the CPU usage to about 10% where I'd expect it. Now the battery shows over 2.5 hrs on a full charge with the screen on full brightness (and it's BRIGHT!)
    Also, Microsoft Word/Powerpoint/Excel/Entourage: trial software on the MacBookPro will mess up your migration, so delete the trial software BEFORE MIGRATION ASSISTANT.
    Hope this helps some of you out there!

    Another thing users who run Migration Assistant should know is that many of your background processes and helpers may slow down the Macbook.
    For example, I notice that a bunch of PowerPC menu items running under Rosetta slowed things down. Also, the Microsoft Office Autoupdate background process, which is started from System Preferences > Accounts > Login Items constituted one Rosetta process running all of the time.
    When I remove/disabled these background processes, I noticed a significant difference.

  • M92p HELP!!! About to return 6 new M92p due to Problems with two monitors.

    Hope someone can help. Just unpacked last week six (6) brand new M92p with dual 24" monitors. Unfortunatelly the monitors are NOT from Lenovo since Lenovo does not sell color calibrated monitors.
    The problem we are having is that we have tried connecting the two monitors using different conbinations of the 3 or 4 available video connectors on the back of the machine.
    only ONE monitor works at 1920x1200, the other defaults to 640x480.
    All the machines have a video card with 2GB. The video card has a DVI and a VGA port. The motherboard has VGA and DisplayPort. We tried one cable to DVI on video card the other on VGAon video card. Then we tried One cable on video card another on motherboard.
    I also disable the motherboard video in BIOS; that did not work either.
    NOTHING works!!! I am about to repack all these equipment and send them back.
    If anyone has any solution to this issue, please let me know.
    Thanks!

    Possible driver issue. Have you run Windows Update and Lenovo System Update?

(It works in this resolution fine with my desktop and my other laptop a sony Vaio). When I set the monitor to 1600X1200,  the screen is displayed compressed with black bars on either side of the monitor.I tried updating with the latest driver for the monitor but still the same results.I'm copy-pasting the information below from the Intel graphics settings tool below.

  • Lenovo L192 ThinkVision Monitor 6920-AB1 Windows 7 Drivers

    Hello there. My first post ever. I pride myself on being able to nut out most problems on my own, but this one has me baffled... I'd really appreciate some advice.
    So... I bought a Lenovo L192 monitor second hand, thinking that the maximum 1440x900 pixels would easily compensate for the loss of my ancient Dell monitor (nothing so permanent as a temporary fix, right?).
    And it did. So long as I was running Linux. Then the maximum resolution worked a treat. Out of the box. No config required.
    Then I needed Windows 7, so I installed it (a major personal achievement I won't go into) and activated successfully - so it's legit, 100%, Windows 7 Ultimate, single licence, single use, no problems there.
    Now, when the Windows 7 installs, it gives me three options for screen resolution, two of which work, the other not. When I installed the Vista drivers it gives me the first two options, and I lose the third (which didn't work anyway, so no great loss). The problem being that the max resolution available to me is 1024x768 either way.
    Now, before I lose you altogether, I've tried everything I can think of. I've tried searching (and upgrading every official driver along the way from) the ibm website, this lenovo website, support.lenovo.com, microsoft, ati (who do the video card), I have googled till the cows come home, everything, but I just cannot get the maximum resolution out of this monitor on Windows 7...
    Is this an XGA limitation thing (and if so, how do I fix it)? Is this a driver thing? Is it a video card thing? Is it a Windows 7 thing? Have I wasted time and money barking up the wrong tree and it just downright isn't possible?!
    I find it hard to believe that 'upgrading' my OS could give me less support for my monitor rather than more. Is this the case here?
    Thanks for reading this far,
    Phil.
    Solved!

    according to the above, the graphics card is not supported in your windows 7, which is why you can't get a resolution above xga.
    Maybe it is time to consider a graphics card upgrade in the server.

  • HELP : T500, External LCD monitor problems, after upgrading GMA4500MHD display driver!

    I have upgraded my display driver for GMA 4500MHD from version 7.15.10 to version 8.15.10.1968 (Vista 32bit).
    After the installation and rebooting of the T500, my brand new Samsung SyncMaster2233BW cannot show correct display image.
    Only image I can see is white screen with few blue shapes. I'm using VGA output for connection. I have tested the monitor by connecting to my other laptop (Dell D620) and everything works fine.
    Can somebody help with this strange problem? How can I make my external monitor work again with
    T500? Is it possible to find and download display driver version 7.15.10.xxxx somewhere and revert back?
    T500 configuration: 15", 3GBRAM, 320GB HDD, Vista 32bit (Home Premium, SP2)
    HELP, HELP, HELP

    Hi sehu,
    Can't you just ask Windows to roll back to previous installed driver? Additionally, have you tried going back to the point where previous version of driver was installed through Windows System restore?
    Also check in c:\swtools\drivers\video folder to see whether or not the desired driver resides there.
    Hope it helps.

  • Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

    I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
    I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
    When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
    Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

    The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
    So here goes;
    Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
    I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
    -1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
    -1440 x 900 (on the right)
    With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
    This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
    Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

  • Monitor Problem-T61

    I am attempting to use a V7-Model 700P monitor with my T61 Think Pad.  This monitor works with a Dell Laptop but not with the Lenovo- Why Not ???? Thanks in advance.

    I'm assuming you're talking about not getting video when you boot the machine, but you hear the fan and HDD running as normal. And you connected an external monitor and the unit still runs. Correct?
    If I understood you correctly, the problem is with the LCD panel itself. The inverter card in your LCD is dying, and that is why you have a black image on your screen. Get your LCD replaced and it should fix the problem.
    Hope this helps.

  • Lenovo X201, Xorg, modesetting problem

    This is a new model Lenovo X201 http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Category:X201Type 3626 (Core i5).
    Did a fresh installation from 2010.05-core-i686 CD with x86_64. I had the dreaded "dark screen" problem caused by kernel mode setting switching off the backlight! I can boot only with the 'nomodeset' kernel boot parameter.
    The problem persists after 'pacman -Syu' 2.6.34-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMT Sat Jun 19 00:07:49 CEST 2010 x86_64. As a result I can't startx, the log says - using xf86-video-intel driver, no xorg.conf:
    (II) VESA: driver for VESA chipsets: vesa
    (--) using VT number 7
    (II) Primary Device is: PCI 00@00:02:0
    (WW) Falling back to old probe method for vesa
    (EE) intel(0): no kernel modesetting driver detected
    (II) UnloadModule: "intel"
    (EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration
    Fatal server error:
    no screens found
    Obviously, I have to boot without the 'nomodeset' parameter.
    How should I progress? Compiling a more recent kernel? Which version? What configuration parameters are needed?

    I have an X61T, and I had a dark screen problem for the longest time. I had to guess at when the login prompt showed up and enter my username and password 'blind'. The monitor turned off halfway through the boot sequence and turned on again after I started X. Trying to turn KMS off gave the same kind of error that you got about usable configurations. Perhaps we had the same problem? If not, maybe this will help somebody else with a dysfunctional screen.
    I fixed it by leaving vga=xxx out of the kernel line of my menu.lst and keeping KMS on (I think it's on by default in the default arch linux kernel). Yes, I compiled my own kernel with i915 and intel_agp, but that didn't fix the problem for me. Here's the relevant line:
    kernel /vmlinuz26-x61t root=/dev/sda5 ro
