Satellite P300-13J - S-Video output shows no picture

Hi,
I need a little help here.
I have P300D-13J and I bought it with OS Vista HP 32-bit. I have tested S-Video output few times after time I bought my computer and it worked fine,no problems.
But,after a few months I needed S-Video output and I connected cable like any other time I did that(same cable,same TV),and it didn't worked!
I thought it was some software problem,and in that time my copy of Windows 7 HP came. I've installed Windows 7 HP 32-bit on my computer and everything is working super,but I still have the same problem with S-Video output. I need to say that with instalation of W7, I installed all newest drivers from Toshiba web page.
When I try to move screen on TV, I use FN+F5,and it has a button called TV. But if i chose TV,my FN shortcut key blocks and nothing happens.
When I go to Display Settings and connect TV on S-Video,I have second monitor (No.2) and it is called Non PnP Generic Monitor or something like that. I can not change any settings on that monitor,not even a resolution.
So,does anyone has this kind of problems or solution for this?

Hey Stevan,
I had the same issue that I couldnt see a picture on my external monitor that was connected via S-Video cable. The solution for this problem was very easy: I had to change the TV-standard from NTSC to PAL!
Of course its depending on your country where you life but you can find this option in display driver options.
Check this!!!

SATELLITE P300-13J
Tryed to download bios, and 30sc power button trick still nothing changes

> when i restart my laptop , first of all it says , plugged in not charging after a minute of 2 it says no accu detected
You should use the battery which was explicitly designed for this notebook model. Some retailers sells not genuine parts, also batteries and the mentioned problems can appear if you would use of not fully compatible battery pack.
At the other hand, if you purchased compatible battery, it may take some time to detect the empty battery. You should connect the AC adaptor and should charge the battery for a longer period of time.
If the battery would not be detected, even if the AC adaptor was connected for 2-4 hours, the battery should be replaced.

Satellite P300-13J doesn't wake up from Sleep or Hibernate

My laptop (Windows Vista 32 bit) is unable to wake up from sleep or hibernate.
Laptop is set to the Balanced Power Scheme.
However, once the display has turned off (after 10 minutes), I am unable to wake it up.
Unable to open Task Manager, Shut Down, nothing works, all I see is a black screen, the disk access light blinking and the fan running.
I end up holding the power button to switch off.
This is a recent development, it might have started when I installed Office 2010 on the laptop.
Any suggestions?

Hi
Since when did you notice this issue?
Was this issue present after clean system installation?
How about the BIOS? Is it up to date?
I read in some threads that BIOS update could helps to sort out such similar problems.
So BIOS update is definitely worth a try.
Also the display driver update would be recommended. Of course just in case you are not using the latest version.
By the way: is Win 7 an option for you? The Win 7 is much better and lot of different issues which appeared in Vista system, have been foxed in Win 7

External Video Monitor shows still picture but won't play

I have a sony minidv deck for external device control and a sony trinitron monitor. I am using FCP 6.0 and a imac intel core. It had been working fine, but now I can't get a playback. The monitor only shows the most recent still image of what was played. i'v replaced the firewire cord so that's not it. The deck palys dv tapes on the monitor fine. Any ideas what the problem could be?

Shane's Stock Answer #8: External Monitor Viewing
If you are working with DV, this is simple. First connect your computer to a camera or deck via firewire, Then connect the camera/deck to your TV/Monitor via RCA or S-Video.
Then start up your camera and tv, then open fcp.
Go to the View Menu, choose > External video > all frames
VIEW>Video playback should be Apple firewire NTSC (If you are using an NTSC set)
VIEW>Audio playback should be Audio follows Video
Techinially, this should send synched video to your TV
If for some reason you can't view your timeline on your external monitor, there are a few things to try:
1) Make sure that the camera/deck is connected and powered on BEFORE you open FCP.
2) In the Final Cut Pro menu select AUDIO/VIDEO Preferences and make sure your signal is being sent out thru Firewire DV.
3) Go to the menu and select VIEW>EXTERNAL>ALL FRAMES.
4) Click in the % box above the image and select FIT TO WINDOW.
5) Go to VIEW->refresh A/V devices
6) Make sure the Log & Capture window is closed
If you want it to play in both the canvas and the external monitor you need to go to the FINAL CUT PRO menu and select AUDIO/VIDIO settings and make sure MIRROR ON DESKTOP is selected under the PLAYBACK OUTPUT section.
If you are working with HDV footage, FCP 6 allows you to view this via firewire, but ONLY as downconverted DV. It won't look the best, but you can see it. To do this,
If you need to view any format other than DV at full resolution, then you need to look into capture cards. Several standard definition and high definition models are available from www.aja.com and www.decklink.com. With these options you'll need a proper monitor to view full broadcast colors, but all models allow for realtime standard definition downconvert, allowing you to view HD on an SD monitor.
The Matrox MXO is another option that is output only, but allows you to view your footage on an Apple Cinema Display at full broadcast quality.

The built-in iSight on my iMac no longer works on Skype an camera booth. Is that a software or hardware problem. the video screen shows no picture but just horizontal line. Any suggestions?

Hello,
The built-in iSight camera stopped working for Skype and Camera booth giving each screen the same horizontal lines. Is this a software or hardware problem. What insight and advicecan you give me. I would be greatful. Thanks

Is the little green light on?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying one of those Apps.

Satellite P300-18M - VGA to S-Video / RCA cable - No Picture on TV

Hi,
First of all, I am trying to use my other laptop (Dell Lattitude D630) I with my TV, however, this other laptop only has a VGA output.
So I bought a VGA to S-Video and RCA adapter from e-Bay: [Picture|http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/RCA%20To%20S-Video%20RCA.jpg]
However, this does not work, the laptop in question does have "TV Out through VGA", so it should work according to various websites, and the seller....
However, I then tried to test it with my Satellite P300-18M, and it does not work with this either, I have tried both the composite (yellow port) and S-video port, in three different TV's, and there is no picture.
I have tried changing the settings in the ATI Catalyst Controll Centre, eg, forcing TV detection, and it detects the TV, however there is no picture on the TV, only grey lines.
If I cange the resoution and Refresh rate I can sort of get an image: [TV Picture|http://members.lycos.co.uk/jtfearnley/Hosting/Images/TV.jpg]
But this is the best thing.
In the past I have used all three television sets with my P300 using direct S-Video, so I do not understand why it will not work with this adapter.
Also, I know that this isn't a Dell forum, but I am not a member there, and this question is also concerning my Toshiba notebook, as it would be useful to be able to use the adapter for RCA instead of S-Video.
Thanks

Hi
From my knowledge the VGA port can be used only in connection with an external monitor/LCD but not with the TV.
The point is that the common PAL TV (not LCD or plasma) supports a max resolution of 720 X 576px at 50Hz (NTSC 720 X 480 at 60Hz).
As far as I know only the s-video port provides such resolution.
The VGA port provides higher resolutions which are supprted by most external monitors.
However, I never connected the notebook to TV via VGA port so I can provide only some assumptions.
Of course it could be possible that the VGA to S-Video and RCA adapter is not fully compatible.
I read on different pages that cheap no-name adapters dont work as it should.

Satellite P300D - No picture through S-Video output

Hi!
I can't get picture through my S-video output on TV. VGA and HDMI works ok, but my TV is older and I don't have that kind of inputs on TV.
The laptop recognizes TV over the cable, but I can't switch between primary and secondary display.
(satellite P300D-12L)

Hi
Listen dude;
First of all you have to choose s-video channel on your TV.
Check the TV settings!
Before you would start any video application, you have to choose TV output pressing FN + F5
If video playback software like WinDVD is already running, then you would not be abele toggle between TV and notebook display so firstly switch to TV and then start the software.

Cannot find my Satellite L350-10H - external video full HD output

Hello Everybody.
I have a problem with my satellite L350-10H when I try to attach a second external monitor in full HD.
In fact Im only able to duplicate my Notebook Display with the same resolution (1440 x 900).
The System don't allow me to set a Full HD Resolution for my Samsung External Monitor.
I don't think can be a limitation of the Chipset because I can do that with all my oldest notebook I have at Home.
Now the strange thing is that when I try to search for a driver in the Toshiba website, my model just don't exist !!!
I put the serial number and the website don't recognize the model, then in the list this model don't exist.
It is: *TOSHIBA SATELLITE L350-10H* - OS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
Someone have also this model? How I can attach a full hd monitor?

Hi
First of all, if you would take a look on the Toshiab European driver page, then you will notice that the driver search form does not contain any sub model numbers but series numbers this means you have to check the model number and then could find the right drivers.
As far as I know the notebook Sat L350-10H belongs to PSLD0E series.
You can find the drivers for this notebook if you would choose L350 PSLD0E.
Easy. Isnt it?
Now back to your video output;
As far as I know there is a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset.
Ive got the same chipset and I can use the external monitor perfectly.
But I have installed the Intel graphic card driver in fact the preinstalled driver on my notebook didnt contain some resolutions
Therefore I recommend checking the Intel page and to download and install the driver for Mobile Intel GL960 chipset.
After new reboot you should check if you could choose the resolution.

Satellite P300-1FY - BSOD due video driver issue

Hi,
I've bought this laptop a good month ago to replace my old one that had crashed beyond repair and I've been having problems with the video drivers ever since. I initially hoped the problem would solve itself since I am in the middle of my exams and I really don't have time too much extra time to spend on mending it myself, and I also can't give it back to the store since I need certain software for my exams.
So the problem I think lies with the video drivers for the ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3470 graphic card. Whilst I am working on my laptop my screen all of a sudden turns black and my computer freezes (including very unpleasant sound when I'm playing music at the time) an after 5 seconds it flashes back into live and displays a message saying a beelschermstuurprogramma werkte niet perfect en is nu herstela. In English this would be something like s video drivers were not functioning correctly and have now been repaired.
This is of course hugely irritating but it became even more so a couple of weeks ago when I first got a blue screen because of a similar error. Leading me to lose half a hour of work on my laptop. (and as anyone who has ever had exams knows, half an hour is not something you can always afford to lose) I ran the wizard and it sent me to the ATI website to look for drivers.
The inconvenience is that I've been able to find a lot of drivers, but none for the 3400 series. After searching internet for a while I finally found some drivers for these series (or they claimed to be), however this installer was corrupt. I also searched the Toshiba website but I didn't find what I was looking for.
The laptop also freezes from time to time without the screen turning all black.
Could someone help me with this issue?
Louis-Philippe
P.S.: quality of the keyboard is really bad too

First of all you should post the exact BSOD code and what OS do you use. Then we can search on the Microsoft Knowledge Base for this issue and what is the reason for this.
So please post the BSOD code.
Furthermore I dont understand why you cant find a driver on the Toshiba website. The Satellite P300-1FY belongs to the PSPCCE series and therefore I can find a display driver for XP and Vista. So where is the problem? Maybe you should try to install this driver:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
But before you install the driver, remove the old driver first. Restart the notebook and clean your system with CCleaner. Restart the notebook again and then install the newest version from the Toshiba website.
The display driver on the manufactures website (ATI) doesnt work because its only for desktop cards and not for notebooks. So you cant install it and your notebook is only tested with the Toshiba drivers.
If the new driver doesnt work you should try to update the BIOS too. You can find on the Toshiba page.
Good luck!!

S-video output not working for Satellite A60

The s-video output on my laptop is not working. i have tried the Fn-F5 hotkey, but i don't get a damn output on the tv.

Hi
First:
Has it ever worked before?
Yes? then make sure that you don't have a second desktop activated. Go into the displaysettings and rightclick the second screen. Make sure it is not set to "attached".
If your machine also have a composite out, try using that instead.
Does it work?
If yes, your machine is at least software-wise able to output the picture to the TV.
If no, then there is probably something in the software that stops the picture from going out to TV.
It could of course also be a hardware related problem but it is less prabable that both the s-video and the composite-ports are defective.
Try checking the settings for your videodriver.
No?
If an s-video cable was delivered with your computer, make sure to use that one.
Check the s-video cable with a traditional DVD. This way see if the cable and in-port on your TV is ok.
If you are using the cable that came with your PC then you should defenitely check for settings in the videodriver.
If it is not the cable that came with your PC (or no cable was delivered with your PC) try check the manual for hints on a compatible cable.
Sorry for the quite messy respons - it is not easy to write a think-flowchart here.
Good luck

Re: Sometimes my Satellite P300 forgets to load video driver

My laptop (Satellite P300) sometimes "forgets" at startup to load the videodriver.
So the resolution is default in the startup screen of Windows.
Doesn't matter which Windows version I have and all the drivers are up-to-date.
When I restart mostly the problem is solved....

Indeed, its very strange issue but I think it should be possible to solve this driver problem by driver reinstallation even if the driver is already up to date.
I would recommend you to uninstall the GPU driver from device manager.
Reboot the unit and clean the system using 3rd party software called CCLeaner.
Then install the GPU driver again.
The package should be available on the Toshiba EU driver page.
Good luck

K9N2 SLI Platinum shows all green, but no video output

Ok, here goes - I hope you guys can help me...
I built a new setup last night, using the following components:
AMD Phenom 9850 Black Edition 2.5 Ghz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core
K9N2 SLI Platinum
OCZ Reaper HPC 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (2 x 2GB)
eVGA GeForce 9800 GTX (G92) 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI-Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready
Seagate IDE Hard Drive 120GB (not sure of model)
Windows XP Home Edition SP2 installed
Antec Earthwatts 650 - voltages follow:
Min Max
+5V 0.2A 25.0A ±5％
+12V1 0.5A 22.0A ±5％
+12V2 0.5A 22.0A ±5％
+12V3 0.5A 25.0A ±5％
-12V 0 A 0.5A ±10％
+5VSB 0 A 2.5A ±5％
+3.3V 0.1A 25.0A ±5％
I build the board, mount all components, then power on - board LEDs cycle through pattern, then land on all green. There is no video output at all during this process. I tried the PCI-E card, the onboard DVI, the onboard DVI without the video card installed.
During boot, I hear a beep that may be a long (sounds like a faint "power on" beep), and then two fainter beeps in quick succession. They don't seem to be in connection with one another.
During the boot, there is also little to no activity from the hard drive. The board reaches all green, then I hear the CPU fan spin faster, and the hard drive activates, then the board flashes to all red, and the reboot sequence begins again.
I've tried removing memory, seating just one stick, and swapping out for a second stick. The fact that the board reaches all green makes me think that everything is seated properly and functioning, but the fact that there is no video output (hence no way to access BIOS) is obviously troubling, plus the incapability of booting.
Questions - the 8-pin ATX power connection had a cover over four of the eight pins - why is that there? I connected an eight pin to the connector, should I have left the cover in place and just used a four?
I realize that using an older hard drive from a previous build is not the best idea, but I'm hoping it shouldn't be a factor this early in the boot process.
I have not flashed the CMOS yet - would that have any effect on the boot process? Again, getting to all green is promising, but the subsequent return to all red is... not.
I've looked through the forum as best I could, but didn't see any issue where the board got to all green, and then backtracked when starting up.
Any help you guys can provide would be greatly appreciated...

Hello!
Don't worry about the hard disk for now. You will need a new installation of Windows, but that would be next step.
9850 needs the latest BIOS version. http://global.msi.com.tw/index.php?func=prodcpu2&prod_no=1443&maincat_no=1
Use the MSI forum tool. https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=116721.0 Impossible of course! Ask the store to update BIOS for you, or find an earlier, simpler compatible processor friend.
The single beep is a power-good signal. The two fainter ones are probably USB things attached.

Satellite P300-19P - How to change from NTSC to PAL?

Everytime I want to display on my TV I have to change the TV from PAL to NTSC as I can't find how to change the S-Video output on the laptop from NTSC to PAL.
Does anyone know how to?
Cheers.

Hey,
Im not owner of Satellite P300 but either you can change this option in BIOS or in display driver. Normally there you have an option to change between PAL and NTSC on S-Video output.
Check this!!!

My new (2 weeks old) Macbook Pro, wont send video output signal to beamer... What can I do? I have the adapter to vga but it does not work...

Hi, I have a new MacBook Pro and I dont get video output to a beamer although I have the regular
Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter and it works fine with my older MacBook...
Thanks a lot for your tips...

That should work. When you first hook it up it will probably have the display set in Extended Desktop mode. The Menu Bar and Dock will be on the MacBook display and your background screen on the TV but you can move the cursor onto the TV screen.
In SystemPreferences>Display on the MacBook screen there should be an Arrangement tab when you have the MacBook hooked up to the TV and both screens working. When you click the Arrangement tab do you see two monitors side by side? One of them will have a Menu Bar at the top. Just click on the Menu Bar and drag it to the second monitor. That will make the second monitor your main screen. You can now use your MacBook in Clamshell Mode with a wired or Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3131 When you disconnect from the TV your Menu Bar will automatically change back to the MacBook.
Or if you want to work on the MacBook screen while showing it on a TV you can check the Mirror Display box on the lower left hand side of the Arrangement tab under the two monitors box.
If you also want audio you'll need audio cables to the TV using a 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to RCA sound plugs. You attach it from the headphone jack of your MacBook to the appropriate input plugs on your TV http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=min i-dvi&x=9&y=13#/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_19?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=macboo k+audio+cable&sprefix=macbook+audio+cable&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Amacbook+audio+cable
