Sat M30-604: LCD doesnt work if external LCD is detached

I have been using a Samsung LCD monitor attached to my laptop and it has been working fine. However, when I disconnect the LCD monitor my laptop screen stays blank. I have tried to use Fn F5 but noting happens. I have re-booted and laptop just starts up with a blank screen.
Thanks
Amanda

Hello Amanda
Try to connect your LCD monitor again and start the unit. If you will be able to switch to notebook display again please switch to Notebook display only and disconnect the external LCD.
If you use FN+F5 key combination FN must be pressed down while you pres F5.

  • Macbook pro 15" mid 2010 i spilled water on keyboard now it wont power on if the battery is connected and the keys on keyboard doesnt work it works fine with no battery and external keyboard if i order a battery and new keyboard will every else work again

    If you have records that show that you've taken your MacBook Pro in for a year to fix the machine, I would escalate the problem to Apple Customer Relations - unfortunately I don't have a number for Spain.
    It would only seem logical to me that if you've been trying to have the machine repaired during the time that the 'recall' was in effect that you should be eligible for a new logic board. But only customer relations will be able to make that call.
    Good luck - take the issue as high up the food chain as you can and see what happens.

  • Ejecting external discs doesnt work properly, no spin down of disc. why?

    ejecting my external discs doesnt work properly anymore in 10.6, no spin down of disc happens, the finder unmounts the disc(s) and then the disc spins on and on. thats weird, because, in 10.5 i ejected discs and then they went spinning down the drive, as it has to be.
    when i unplug the disc, which is unmounted from desktop, and still spinning, it makes a terrible noise in the disc. like a high pitched short tone.
    any idea whats going wrong here?
    thanks!

    you probably mean "causing the fail to spindown"
    you maybe mean software like techtoolpro5 or drive genius3?
    yes i disabled these helper apps on the discs, but first i used it (like monitoring
    all discs if they are nearly full, or working s.m.a.r.t and so on. yes its useful,
    but obviously it causes problems. i must mention, that i tested my 4 external drives again,
    and i found out that i can eject all discs, like said before, but only 2 of the discs are spinning down, after ejecting, BUT only when i use the button "eject" in harddisctoolkit, they dont spin down, when ejecting from desktop (apple+E), and the other 2 of the 4 drives refuse to spin down, after ejecting, even with pressing eject in harddisctoolkit....
    i can also state, that these 2 discs, which refuse to spin down, are FW800/400 discs and connected via FW800. and the 2 discs which spin down succesfully are UBS2 discs, if thats worth mentioning...

  • Distorted sound on M30-604

    Hi,
    I have got a problem with the sound on my Satellite M30-604. If for instant I play a cd or an mp3 (doesnt matter with what program), the sound is distorted. It sounds a bit like back in the old days when my taperecorder got jammed. After a while the sound disappears completely and I get bad sound driver errors. When I restart the notebook, the sound again works fine for a while, but then the problem repeats itself. This temporary regeneration only happens when I restart and does happen when I put the notebook in sleeping mode or standby mode for a while. The sounddriver in my notebook is the SigmaTel C-Major Audio version 6.14.1.3835, it should be the latest version. Can anybody help me with this problem? At the moment I am not even shure whether it is a hardware or a software problem. Thanks,
    Steve

    Hi Steve
    I hope that there is some solution that will help you. Did you already try to make BIOS update? It will be interesting to know what you mean exactly under distorted sound. A friend of mine had a similar problem and the cause for that was modem. Sounds stupid but everything is possible.
    Like I said if the sound is slowed it can be some hardware mailfunction.

  • MSI GF4 Ti-4200 doesnt work with WindowsXP

    I can't get the MSI display tools to work - it crashes,
    the vbios.dll doesnt load, it also crashes.
    the tv in doesnt work ,it crashes
    the tv out doesnt work ,it crashes.
    all the supplied software also crashes "application has encountered an error and cannot continue. sorry for any inconvenience"
    the intervideo software (windvr, wincoder, winproducer) and MSI PVI software all crashes as well.
    what's the deal with this stuff?  ?(
    I have a Dual AMD athlon Tyan thunder k7 motherboard,
    MSI Ti-4200-VTD video card and MSI tv anywhere card.
    is there any resolution for this?

    I'm sorry gfilitti if I don't have my system listed, but I thought my question was pretty simple...
    Has ANYONE been able to make the InterVideo WinProducer 2 software, that comes with the retail version of the MSI G4Ti4200-VTD64 card, work successfully under the Windows XP Home or Pro operating system?
    If the answer is YES, then I will begin investigating why my system can't.
    If the answer is NO, then I only ask for other people's recommendations of what software WILL work in place of that. I NEED those functions to work. That's why I paid extra for the VIVO.
    All we've heard so far in this thread are NO votes. I would like to see just how widespread this is. If I can find ONE person who claims it works fine on his/her computer under Windows XP, then my NEXT question would be if they had to do anything different to make it run, or was it just a straight install? Did they add the program patch available from the MSI website? See where I'm going with this?
    If you would REALLY like my system details, here ya go...

    BTW, I would think when investigating a program's FLAT refusal to run, that the MOST important things aren't listed in these signature files. It has to do with what ELSE is running at the same time. Which services are running and which are NOT? What memory resident programs are loaded at boot-up? Any service packs installed? How about any security patches from Microsoft? Which anti-virus software (if any)? Which DirectX version? Personal firewall? Etc., etc.
    Granted, the hardware DOES have a factor, but I feel all of these are MORE important factors than the speed or brand of a persons hardware. I look at the signitures more as bragging rights than anything else.
    Now, this is just my opinion and may not reflect the feelings of the more sane people around me.

  • Satellite M30-604 - Hard disk mechanical failure

    My satellite M30-604 is within warranty (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hdd crashed out of the blue. The crash is probably mechanical so I can not use data recovery software (it makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD to some specialist who will open it in a "clean room" for something like 300 - 600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:
    -> Toshiba says that if I do that the warranty is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (+ 100 euros)
    -> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba gets the old disk and I lose my data forever!!!
    WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!!!
    a) this is my data, my work and you CAN NOT blackmail me with this "warranty void" stuff. I want my old crashed disk back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10-hours-a-day work is IN there!
    b) Moreover even if the heads of the disk crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are still in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How can toshiba (or any other company for that matter) ask me to hand it over to them?
    What should I do?
    What would you do?

    Hi there,
    I sympathise with your problem and can only suggest the following thoughts :
    1. Recovery of your data would seem the most important factor here. I would suggest removing the HDD yourself so that it can be sent to a specialist to recover what data is possible.
    2. Since removal of the HDD does not usually involve extensive dismantling of the notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HDD itself).
    3. A replacement HDD can usually be obtained quite cheaply from one of the internet sellers (check using GOOGLE for a suitable replacement). you can then re-install your operating system from the recovery CDs.
    4. I would suggest investing in a suitable backup software package (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I have had four replacement HDDs on my Satellite A30 in the last 12 months).

    You don't need to delete anything from your phone or you old computer.
    Copy the entire /Music/iTunes/ folder from old computer or backup to /Music/ on new computer.
    If you cannot use the old computer or don't have a backup...
    -> Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device
    Then immediately make a backup of your new computer.
    Get an external drive and plug it in and use -> Time Machine

  • Macbook and T220HD (22 display). 1680x1050 doesnt work anymore !

    Hi! I have a macbook with a 22 inches external display (samsung t220hd). It was working fine for 9 months but i have a problem now... Last week i get my adapter (minidvi to vga) to other display to see a movie... but when i plugged it again at home... it doesnt worked fine.
    The macbook doesnt detect the screen like "syncmaster", now it says "Screen" and i cant choose the optimal mode in resolution menu (1680x1050). I fully erased the hd and reinstalled OSX and nothing...
    I have the minidvi to dvi too, but it doesnt work in the dvi port or the hdmi port.
    Can someone help me?
    Thanks a lot !

    Maybe. Could be the heads bouncing against the platters - could be the optical drive. Best to take your machine to your local Apple Store and have them diagnose the problem. They can tell you if your data is salvageable.
    In the future - make certain that you have one, if not more, backups - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3045.

  • Fans going crazy, airport doesnt work and nor does iSight

    Hi
    I have a 13 inch Macbook Pro, late 2010 model, 2.4 ghz, 4gb ram, so on, so forth
    Just had the Logic board done as it died (intermittantly, then completely), and now the fans go crazy at most opportunities, sometimes Airport doesnt fire up (cures with a restart) and iSight doesnt work at all. It goes really slowly when the fans are going nuts. This is only using Chrome..
    Any ideas? I'm falling out of love with this computer.

    You have a real problem to deal with. I would recommend you download a utility like Snow Leopard Cache Cleaner and clear all user, system, and font caches. Then the following:
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. If you Quit the installer at this point the computer will restart.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Let's see if that helps you out.

  • HDD doesnt work

    i bought a toshiba external hard drive but doesnt work with my mac book air

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    What happens when you connect it? Note that the external drive doesn't appear in the desktop unless you have turned on that feature. After connecting the external drive, open a Finder window and tell me if it appears in the sidebar, under "Devices". If so, select it and copy files to it, or do whatever you want with the external drive.
    If it doesn't show up in Finder, open Disk Utility (in /Applications/Utilities) and tell me if it shows up in the sidebar

  • Ctrl alt delete doesnt work anymore

    Hi,
    We have an HP probook G0 where the combination ctrl alt delete doesnt work anymore.
    - The issue is only with the left ctrl Key. When we use the right ctrl key, ctrl alt delete works
    - When I check the onscreen keyboard in windows, the left ctrl key does react, so the key is'nt hardware defected.
    With external keyboard everything works also fine.
    Laptop has the latest HP updates.
    Any ideas how to solve this issue?
    thx!

    thx prob is solved just had to double-click on the window  , also performed a virus-scan, but no viruses were found, i do use pc-cilin 2002 (up to date) i hope it's sufficient, because norton is way much better, i know, but i just don't want to spend any money on a damn anti-virus prog...just used the one that came with my mobo

  • Mac OS 9 -  iTunes for iPod mini doesnt work,what do??

    last week i bought an iPod mini,but iTunes 4.7 which is on the iPod cd doesnt work (the iPod mini software also not),i think because my mac is too old.
    so were can i get iTunes plus the iPod mini software which runs on my macintosh?

    There is no version of iTunes for Mac OS 9 that will work with the iPod mini. The last version of iTunes for Mac OS 9 is version 2.04, and that will only work with first and second generation full-size iPods, plus third-generation full-size iPods which are running version 2.0x of the firmware. All third-generation iPods and iPod shuffles can be used as an external hard disk in the Finder. Mac OS 9's iPod updater will only work with first and second generation full-size iPods.

    My dvd drive doesnt work, and i want to format the HD, any ideas??? i have an external dvd drive but it doesnt recognice it when i want to install the OS,
    ... Maybe someone can tell me how. Thanks

    Time to take your disc and your computer to an Apple Store or an AASP, I'm afraid. They should be able to reinstall the OS, etc. Have no idea what they would charge but I'm sure that it would not be too expensive.

  • Seagate 1.5TB doesnt work with mac

    hi, i have a seagate external hard drive 1.5 TB, i generally use it for my windows laptop. now i bought a mac and it doesnt work with my mac. Am i doing some thing wrong..?

    Are you planning on using the drive with Windows? If no, then use Disk Utility in Applications/Utilities to reformat the drive. Formatting erases contents on a drive. Copy the data to another source before formatting.
    Format the external drive as Mac OS Extended (Journaled) - Partition Map Scheme: GUID
    Select Drive (top name) then click on Erase tab.
    Under Format select Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
    This should format as GUID when erasing but sometimes you need to click on an Advanced tab and select GUID.
    If you do plan on using the drive with Windows machine, format on Windows machine as exFAT.
