Re: Satellite A200-1GB - strange ripples on the external LCD screen

H,
when I try to connect my laptop to my Samsung 32" LCD with VGA, I have strange ripples on the screen.
I tried changing every settings in my computer and in my TV and it's still there.
How can I fix this?
It's almost impossible to watch like this.
Thanks.

Did you test the notebook with other external monitors?
You should do this to ensure that this is not a LCD issue
Furthermore I recommend checking if such ripples are visible using different screen resolutions!
Last but not least an graphic card driver update would be useful too.

  • Re: Satellite R630 -13F: Possible supported resolution of external LCD screen

    Hi there,
    I am planning to purchase a LCD screen for my editing work.
    My laptop is R630 -13F.
    I was wondering if I get the high resolution LCD screen (2560 x 1440), would my laptop support such screen? Many thanks.
    Tim

    Hi
    The external display resolution depends on the graphic card and the external monitor.
    As far as I know the Intel graphic chip which is used in this notebook is able to handle the max resolution of 2048x1536 at 32bit
    2560 x 1440 seems to be too high

  • Does Satellite A200-1GB(PSAE6E) supports 4GB of RAM

    I have a toshiba Satellite A200-1GB and I want to put 4GB of RAM on it.
    It came with 2GB of pc2-5300 RAM.
    Does it supports pc2-6400 RAM modules?
    Regards

    I called Toshiba about this after I bought a Satellite A205 with 2GB factory installed. The salesman where I bought it told me that if I boosted the RAM to 4GB it would run Photoshop even with Vista. yeah right. Vista soaks almost up a full GB just sunning its self. I literally bought this unit on the way to the airport leaving for China with the extra 2x2GB chips in a bag. Needless to say after I installed the 4GB it won't start.
    The Toshiba guys tell me that it is limited not by the OS but by the Motherboard.
    Has anyone tried changing the BIOS chip?
    When I asked why they would put such a limitation on the box they thought I was strange to want 4GB of RAM. Telling me that it isn't really considered the way to go for PSing. I guess they have never heard of Gamming. Or maybe they think someone would want to go bouncing around the 3rd world with a $3000 box to be lost.

  • Satellite Pro L450D - Slight ripple effect on external monitor

    I am hoping someone can help me. Have just bought a new Satellite Pro L450D and also bought a separate lcd screen (Viewsonic) to use with the laptop.
    When using the lcd screen there is a slight ripple effect across the background when you look at the screen which is not nice on the eyes. Its not the screen that has a problem as I have tried it on other pcs/laptops and its fine. Have also tried another screen on the laptop and the same problem occurs. However, this problem does not occur of the laptop screen itself.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can solve this problem.
    Thank you

    Hi
    It seems that the native resolution of this screen is 1920 x 1080.
    I use the same resolution on my external wide screen monitor.
    But I have connected the external screen to my notebook using the DVI cable.
    I tried a HDMI cable but the picture on the external screen was not clear usign1920 x 1080. I have no idea why.
    Anyway I have tried the external monitors DVI port and the picture was perfect!
    Seems your monitor supports only RGB analog port.
    In order to view real HD videos, picture you would need an HDMI or DVI port.
    Of course its possible to use an RGB analog port as well, but there are differences in picture quality.

  • How do I turn off the external display screen on my MBP even after I disconnect the second screen?

    I connected my MBP to my television via the HDMI port to watch a movie. Whenever I have a second display connected I have different wallpapers for each screen. After the movie was over I disconnected the cable and started surfing the web, and I always have safari full screen so I have to three finger swipe to go back to my desktop. After disconnecting the hdmi cable, the external display screen became part of the three finger swipe in full screen mode. I can swipe to go from safari to second display screen (not connected to anything) and then to my desktop.
    My question is how do I get rid of the dog-gone external display screen? I am getting tired of having to swipe more than once from full screen to my desktop.

    Disregard this question, I figured it out. I just had to go in a delete the other desktops that showed up, how they got there in the first place, I'm not sure but I will visit the apple store to ask some questions.
    Mods you can close and/or delete this whole convo.

  • Satellite A200-10X: How to partitioning the HDD

    Hi there guys!
    I have a pro with my satellite A200-10X, it has only one HDD volume, and i want to make them two... and everytime i use the product recovery CD, it formats the HDD... but i do not know how to partition the HDD two get two volume spaces...
    and whats worse is that when i keep on doing that over and over it eats the HDD free space... so how can i partition the HDD and recover the 200GB space the computer originally have?
    i appreciate your help ..
    thanx

    Hello Sherif
    If you use delivered recovery media you have follow options:
    1. the whole HDD capacity can be used for partition C
    2. the HDD capacity can be split and you can create two partitions
    When you use both options Vista will create 1,4 GB partition but this partition will not be visible when you use OS.
    If you want to have two partitions (C and D) start recovery procedure and after choosing the language use SETUP button on the right side. In the middle of the screen occurs small window and there you can set how much capacity should be reserved for partition C. when the recovery procedure is finished and Vista starts open Computer Management.
    On the left side choose Disk Management. After doing this on the left side you will see partition marked as black. This is second partition but still not visible. Click there with right mouse button and choose option to create logical drive. Follow the setup procedure.
    After few steps this partition will be set as logical drive and after formatting it will be visible in Vista Explorer.
    If you have more questions please post again.
    Bye

  • Satellite A200 - crackling sound comes from the HDD

    Hi
    I have Satellite A200. When I start my notebook the crackling sound comes from the hard disc.
    Does anyone know something about this?
    Thanks
    Vikas

    In my opinion its nothing wrong with your HDD.
    My HDD clicks everytime while accessing any data on the notebook and everything run ok since 3 years.
    But this doesnt mean that there is no hardware problem with your HDD. Generally its not easy to say when an HDD wound starts to malfunction. My first HDD died after 6 years of usage. But the other HDD died after 1.5 years. This damage was covered by warranty.
    Finally I would recommend backup your data always on an external HDD to prevent the data from damage.

  • Satellite A200-1GB: ATI HD2600 glitches and GPU failure

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba A200-1GB with Windows 7 x86.
    I tried every ATI drivers from toshiba website, new and older, and the screen becomes weird, ATIKMDAG fails and recovers until BSOD comes up, then when I restart the laptop screen keeps black,
    I can only see the screen by connecting external monitor, however the same glitches appear on that monitor, so I believe that it's not a screen problem.
    I'm running windows 7 now with built-in drivers only (from windows update), and I played a game for 1 hour with no problems, if I install catalyst with latest drivers it keeps doing the same, so basically I would like to know if this is a hardware problem or software problem. The GPU temperature does not pass from 47C.
    Please check the 2 videos that I recorded with fraps on dropbox. When the video becomes whole black, that's when the ATIKMDAG failed and got recovered.
    Videos link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/bmtm437o3rsost6/PkllwdMSNy

    I noticed that with windows 7 drivers the GPU temperature can be displayed, I installed the latest drivers from toshiba (2009) yesterday and the GPU temperature is no longer shown.
    I played a game for 1 hour and had no problems at all. It's really weird,
    I also did a RAM test with memtest86 and no erros were found. I believe that the GPU is starting to fail or there is a lack of power.
    Other thing:when the glitches and BSOD came up I had to turn off the laptop by pressing the power button, then when I restarted, the laptop screen didn't turn on but I could hear the windows logon sound, I could only see the display by connecting an external monitor.
    However if I unplug the power cord from the laptop for 10s and remove the battery and plug again the power cord, the laptop screen works fine with no need for an external monitor.

  • Strange Pixel Design on Replacement LCD Screen

    I just received, from a well-known Apple internet shop, a replacement LCD screen for my wife's Late 2008 MacBook Unibody. The screen was advertised and sold as new.
    I installed the screen only to discover an obviously intentional pixel pattern had somehow been embedded into the screen's lower left corner. You can see pictures here: <http://www.animedix.com/clinical/screen/strangepixelpattern.jpg>
    I'll request another screen as soon as the replacement parts retailer opens on Monday (it's currently Saturday evening), but I'm wondering if anyone has seen anything like this, and what could have caused that strange L-shaped pixel pattern?
    BTW, I'm refraining from mentioning the name of the retailer at this time, assuming they'll promptly correct the problem.
    Thanks,
    JC

    I have the exact same problem,
    ordered a replacement panel from a certain website
    when it arrived i noticed an identical pattern in the lower left corner of the LCD panel. it is slightly rotated compared to yours so I would hope I didn't just receive the panel which you have returned
    it was (barely) visible even when the panel wasn't installed in the computer so it would appear as if it is indeed printed or even drawn on the panel itself (or on one of the layers within). mine too had greasy blotches on it. i'll be emailing the company soon for a replacement and hopefully an explanation -__-

  • Dial UP Modem is not working properly in Satellite A200-1GB

    My A200 - 1 GB's modem is not working properly. It tries to connect but at last it says remote computer is not responding. As i noticed It has a "Agree" 56kpbs modem.
    It shown as Toshiba Software Modem.
    I tried so many times it doesn't work properly. I tried by changing the assigned COM ports to several other COM ports like COM1,COM10,COM 4 ext... same thing occurs.
    When I diagnose the modem via the modem properties no matters found.
    Same as when I'm dialing through the modem to a telephone (i mean as a call) it's working properly. I mean it can call to a mobile phone or land phone.
    But the same phone line is working properly with my desktop modem as same as another HP laptop modem.
    It seems there is some malfunction on my 56k modem.
    I tried even uninstalling and reinstalling but still the matter exists.
    Can anybody help me in this case?

  • I want to make three HDD partitions on Satellite A200-1GB

    Hi all,
    Yesterday night I noticed that there is a small sound comes out when Hard disk is being read. The sound same as the Desktop Hard disk sound. In desktop HDD's that's normal.
    I thought that Notebook's HDD doesn't sound like that even it has the same technology of Desktop HDDs.
    Is that also normal thing?
    The other thing is I thought to divide my second partition (D drive) in two partitions because I can have separate three partitions then.
    If I do it using Disk management will it give any matters?
    In desktop PC's I have done many operations on HDD's with Win XP but I have no experience on notebooks. is there any difference between desktops and notebooks running WXP?
    I hope to divide my second partition (93 GB) in two as 45GB & 45GB.
    Can anyone give idea about this and is any body have done this operation?

    My notebooks HDD makes a loud sound and since 2 years it has been running ok.
    I presume its nothing serious due to the fact that the A200 is not an old series and the HDD is new.
    >The other thing is I thought to divide my second partition (D drive) in two partitions because I can have separate three partitions then. If I do it using Disk management will it give any matters?
    No everything should works. But I think XP OS is not able to create an HDD partition. You will have to use an 3rd party program like Partitions Magic 8 for example.
    > In desktop PC's I have done many operations on HDD's with Win XP but I have no experience on notebooks. Is there any difference between desktops and notebooks running WXP?
    No feel free to create an partition.

    Use the Partitions magic 8

  • How to make a Recovery Image DVD for my Satellite A200-1GB?

    Hi Experts,
    As I have wrote before I divided my HDD 2nd partitions in to 2partitions.
    Now I want to make a recovery DVD except the manufacturer provided DVD.
    The reason I want that is the USER MANUAL says when we are restoring by the manufacturer Provided DVD it will FORMAT all the Partitions and revert the HDD to original state (When it come it has two partitions).
    So now I'm trying to make a Recovery DVD to recover the notebook with out FORMATTING the second partitions.
    I just want to format only the C drive and install the Vista OS and other manufacturer provided software.
    Then the other drives will be safe and the data on those partitions will be safe.
    I kindly request you to help me on this.
    It's better if anybody can give me the instructions for that operation.
    Thanks !!!! :8}
