Hi.
Yes, you can use USB - HDMI adpater/converter such as:

No hdmi port with this laptop?

No hdmi port with this laptop?

Only some laptops HDMI ports - of current models, the MacBook Pros do and the Macbook Airs don't. You can get adaptors from Thunderbolt (or Displayport on an older laptop, the plug is physically the same) to HDMI: for example this one.

Can a laptop with VGA output use the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display?

I bought a 2011 Macbook Air and I'm thinking about upgrading my office monitor. The new Apple Thunderbolt 27" display comes to mind.
However, I also have a Lenovo X201 with VGA output, which I would also like to connect to the Apple Thunderbolt 27" display sporadically.
Will the VGA to mini-display port adapter work? If not, does there exist a VGA to mini-display port converter that will work and if so which one?

You are thinking of that adapter backwards. It is not VGA to MDP but is "Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter". This means it will take video out of a a MDP connection and convert it to a VGA connection. It will not go the other direction like you need.
Sorry but that Lenovo just doesn't have the ability to connect to the new display. If it had a HDMI video port like some other Lenovo models, you could adapt from that but I don't know of any VGA to Mini-DisplayPort/ThunderBolt adapters.
Even if you were to use such an adapter, the video card in that laptop couldn't drive a 27" display at the native resolution so it would look very bad.
One other option would be to use the Lenovo X200 docking station which has a full sized Display Port. You would have to use a Display Port to Mini Display port adapter then you could attach the TB cable to it. There is also a USB video replicator that has a DVI-I output then then yet another adapter to get to Mini-Display.
However, both of these options would still be limited by the graphics card at 1920x1080 so it still wouldn't look good.

Using a standard midi file, how do I get this to an output port for playing it via midi-cable on an extern keyboard?

Using a standard midi file, how do I get this to an output port for playing it on an extern midi-keyboard?

Hi
Create 1 or more External Instrument tracks as required.
You could send the MIDIFile to a track set to "All" MIDI channels, or if needed, you could split the file by channel and create indivisual tracks for each.

Cannot use VGA output on my Satellite A100

I have Satellite A100 laptop and when I use the VGA output my monitor informs their is NO signal. I have checked my monitor and it does work.
What I would like to know since their is no signal output from my VGA does this also mean that the *S-Video* will not have any signal either?
I dont have a S-Video >> VGA adapter as present trying to save the cost of buying one if it does not work...

I really don't know what are you doing wrong?
Is your notebook connected with VGA cable or with some adapter to the VGA port on your notebook?
When monitor is connected please use FN+F5 key combination to switch between LCD display and connected monitor.
Does this work?

Satellite A210 (PSAELE) - VGA output not working

Hello everybody,
i've got an A200 PSAELE and I am trying to connect it to an external Monitor via VGA.
The external Monitor is a Medion 19" Widescreen with a Resolution of 1440x900.
The problem is, that I am not able to get the external display to work.
I just get a "no signal" message on my external monitor.
I tried various things, tried another VGA cable, another monitor (Benq FP93G X) and another driver.
I am using Windows 7 Beta ans also tried to get it to work using Windows Vista Home Premium & Windows XP.
In the "resolution settings", I tried using the "recognize displays" button.
When i use it, there is a second image of a display displayed like a box.
In this box, there is the following text: "Antoher display couldn't be recognized".
Regardless of the settings I use (clone, span, ...) I can't get any image onto my second screen.
I tried changing some BIOS-Settings without success and made a BIOS-Upadte to Version 2.00, same problem.
I also tried switching to the external monitor via "Fn + F5", but nothing happens onto the second screen.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in advance,
StarGeneral

Hi,
I tested two more things:
-> I downgraded to the Toshiba Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit drive, which works on Windows 7 as well. There in the Catalyst Control Center I've got the "Displays Manager" section, which I don't have with the release drivers.
But even there, when I click on "dectect displays", nothing happens.
When I press the Windows-key and "P", a display opens, where I can select how to use the external VGA out, but when I e.g. select "clone", the resolution on the laptop-screen changes, but there still is no signal on the external monitor.
-> I tested the laptop with a real CRT analog monitor, but I didn't get any further.
But I have got the sneaking suspicion, that I've got a conflict with the HDMI / VGA version of the A210 laptop.
I know that there are a few laptops with an HDMI output and a few with a VGA output.
I checked my audi-devices and found an entry named "HDMI-Audio-Out".
Isn't that strange, because my laptop doesn't have HDMI connector?
Probably I've got a Mainboard/Graphics-card combo, which has got a HDMI port and no VGA output and which was designed for a HDMI-A210?
Could something like this be possible?
Thanks in advance,
StarGeneral

Notebook VGA output, has it a digital signal?

I have a Presario A900 (A961EM) with a VGA output. I want to connect it to my HDMI TV which has a HDMI socket. If I connect the laptop to my TV with a VGA to HDMI lead will it work with video and sound?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I am highly certain that it will not work, I'm afraid..
VGA is an analogue signal, HDMI is digital.
If you have a DVI port on the TV, you will be able to connect with a VGA to DVI cable.
Also, VGA does NOT carry sound data, so you would need to connect the sound elsewhere, via the headphone jack.
Hope this helps

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

Tearing on VGA output, LVDS OK on 950GMA with xf86-video-intel-2.6.10

I'm crossposting this message i sent on intel-graphics ml and xorg bugzilla, because maybe some of you can point me to a solution.
i own an asus eeepc1005ha, it uses intel gma 950.
Playing a video on the internal LVDS panel is very pleasing and tear
free, but as soon as i connect the vga output, i can notice tearing or
flickering on the picture.
I tried all possible configurations:
-Booting with the lid open (tty on LVDS) and then switching to xorg
with a VGA only output. (VGA tears)
-Booting with the lid closed (tty on VGA) and using xorg on VGA. (VGA tears)
-VGA+LVDS in clone mode (VGA and LVDS tears)
-VGA+LVDS in multihead mode (expanded desktop) (VGA and LVDS tears)
Using xv adaptor via mplayer results in a different tear effect, seems
more like a flickering, while the GL output definitely tears.
I couldn't try overlay adaptor because i don't have a 2.6.33 kernel yet
(believe it or not, i've seen overlay tearing too with an old intel
driver in the past, i think 2.7.1, in a cloned mode if lvds was at
60hz, while vga was at 70hz)
I'm using xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9
I used the framerate test videos available here:
http://spng.se/frame-rate-test/
Thanks for reading.

You're right, here's the references:
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/i … 06092.html
http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=26925
About your command, i'll try, but what it does is just picking the first port from first adaptor, right?
By now (xf86-video-intel 2.10.0 and kernel 2.6.32.9), we just have a single adaptor, the textured one;
why the first port should make a difference?
Maybe with your setup the overlay adaptor was picked, and in 99% of the cases that would certanly help.
As a side note, newer mplayer versions comes with an useful option: -vo xv:adaptor=#
What i think is that vblank interrupts generation is (and was) messed up in the drivers code.
see:

Satellite L300 - VGA output does not work

I am attempting to set up a media center via my Toshiba L300 laptop by connecting it to my VIZIO 37" LCD via the VGA (RGB) port to the component in the TV.
I connected it all up, but the TV consistantly says "no signal".
Is there something that I am not doing properly?
The control panel also says there is only one monitor installed on the laptop and I am told that there is supposed to be two installed as the TV serves as one of them.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?

I did however get it to work properly via a VGA (RGB) cable directly to the back of the TV. There is an input jack in the back of the television and it's working properly that way. I'd still like to use the component cables though if possible due to rendering better quality. Thanks again.

Satellite L300-055 - VGA output doesn't work on external TV

First I will give you my Laptop Specs: Toshiba Satellite L300-055 series laptop bought January 2009- 2GB RAM upgrade- Intel 4 Series Chipset Family
Okay, I recently purchased a wire/connector like Link: [This One|http://www.vista24.biz/ebay/tpschc/v2b27214c.jpg] and when I plug it in to my To my vga port and the other end to the tv (via RCA) and follow the instructions by turning off my laptop then turn on the tv then turn back on the laptop- but NOTHING shows on the tv.
The cable is working perfectly well. When I press fn+F5 it still only shows that no external monitor is plugged in. Do i need more drivers? Does my laptop not support tv-out. If not- is it possible to install a S-video port onto my laptop?
Thanks

Hello
Have you tested both connections possibilities? I mean the S-Video port and the Chinch?
If you have connected the laptop to the TV, shut down the notebook. If the notebook is powered off, switch on the TV and then notebook.
Then you can normally switch between the monitors by pressing FN+F5.
Furthermore its not possible to install an S-Video port on your laptop.

VGA output - no signal or image

So, I've had this machine for almost two years and I am having a problem that I simply should have discovered before now.
As you know from the heading, I have no signal at all from my VGA output. The adapter works. I know this because I've used my wife's iBook to check it and I have also tried the adapter that came with her computer, which also works on hers but not mine. My computer is recognizing that a monitor has been attached to it and even correctly identifies the monitor in the displays menu and in System Profiler. But no usable signal is getting sent to the external display. Any external display. I've tried about six by now, ranging from 15" CRTs to 22" LCDs. The monitors are all working properly.
Does anyone know if this is a common problem? Do I just have a bad mini-VGA port? Is there some kind of software troubleshoot I can try? I have some work coming up soon that I need to be able to view a lot of information all at once and an external display would make my life a great deal easier. Can anyone enlighten me?

Hi Frank
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply. I thought this thread had gone dead, like my projector connection!
Well, I've been running around doing all kinds of things and I found a solution - perhaps totally by chance.
I went to confer with a 'video guru' at my local Apple retailer. He reckoned that my PB was sending out the video signal 'too fast' (faster processor than previous iBook and PB) so the projector could not pick up the signal. He advised me to try to reduce the resolution to 800x600 and also use the lowest possible refresh rate. Well, that sounded plausible.
But on the way home, I stopped by at a computer accessories store to buy a replacement VGA-VGA cable to connect my PB to the projector; the original one is a little short. I was intrigued to find that this was labelled as a 'SVGA' cable, although externally it looks just like a common garden VGA cable.
When I got home and plugged it all together - without any thought about sequence of connection or resolution - it worked straight away.
So how do you answer that! Still, I'm keeping a record of your instructions, in case I had inadvertently done that. Well, see next time.
Cheers.

Note: the external monitor works fine with my desktop computer and with a T400 laptop.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Follow-up:
I have tried the latest "generic" Intel driver after completely uninstalling the device driver from device manager: without success.
I have tried another monitor from a different manufacturer: no luck.
To eliminate the device driver as a possible cause, I tried booting from an Unbuntu boot CD: no luck.
I have enabled boot display on the VGA port in the BIOS: screen remains black.
I am suspecting that the VGA port on my brand new Lenovo Thinkpad T420 is simply not working at all.
I have opened a call with my hardware support.

Problem with lenovo t60 and the vga output

I have a problem with the vga output and the lenovo t60
When i put the videoprojector connector in to the lenovo t 60, the projector reponde is:
Not supported
H: 48.20khz v: 143,10 hz
On my desktop pc the projector function on 1024x768 resolution and the 60 hz to refresh.
The same configurations are on my laptop and the projector doesn't function
Please help me.

I too have this problem. My T61 worked fine for about a year, and then suddenly would no longer project. I had made no changes to the settings for the external display, though since the problem started I've tried many combinations without success. Typically the projector reports that the frequency settings the laptop is sending are unsupported. In my case the vertical rate is usually correct (60 Hz) but the horizontal rate varies wildly.
I suspect a hardware problem, as this post suggests: http://www.edugeek.net/forums/av-multimedia-related/32128-laptop-wont-display-projector.html. (Note the message claiming that 6 out of 40 Lenovo laptops exhibited this problem.)
Since my system is still under warranty I guess I'll have to get it repaired, but I'd rather hear of a software fix...

No vga output port on this laptop
