Satellite Pro L550 - Cannot get 1920x1200 on external monitor

Hi all,
I cannot get nativ resolution (1920x1200) to my external monitor thrue HDMI conection.
Catalyst or windows XP settings monitor gives max res. only 1920x1080 - Why?
NB Satellite pro L550 (ATI 5165, hdmi ), LG L245WP (hdmi). Thanks for answer.

> I finaly founded specification of Grf.card 5165 at ATI web.
> Maximum output of HDMI is up to 1920x1080.
http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/ati-mobility-hd-5165/Pages/hd-5165-specs.aspx
HDMI output support all display resolutions up to 1920x1080
>So toshiba thinks, that is possible to use analog (D-SUB) with 2048x1536 !!!!!!!!
This chip support two integrated DVI display outputs 18-, 24-, and 30-bit digital displays at all resolutions up to 1920x1200 (single-link DVI) or 2560x1600 (dual-link DVI)
VGA output supports analog displays connected by VGA at all resolutions up to 2048x1536
Means that all these resolutions depend on the available display output!!!

  • Satellite Pro A120 - Cannot get the PCMCIA card to work

    OK i have a problem with my Satellite Pro A120's (xp service pack 2) cardbus.
    I use the cardbus slot to add firewire conections via a IEEE 1394 cardbus card and have been doing this a long time. The other night my comp went into hibernate with the card still in the slot and still in use and when i tried to use it the next day the card was not working at all.
    So i thought the had died on me and brought another one, this one to be exact [http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16839314003] .
    When i plug the new card into the slot windows starts the installation add new hardware thing but does not find the driver, there is none on the provided CD and it does not conect to windows update to find one ethier. So the new card does not work and does not get installed, it just shows up with ! next to pci device.
    I have looked everywhere on the internet to find the driver, read the manual etc.I even did a fresh install of windows so it might find the drivers but nope.
    The only thing i can think of is the slot does not except 32 bit cardbus but in my manual it says this:
    "The computer is equipted with a pc card slot that can accomedate a type II card. Any pc card that meets industry standards can be installed. The slot supports 16 bit pc cards, including pc cards 16 multifunction card and cardbus pc cards. Cardbus supports a new standard of 32 bit pc cards."
    Any help please
    Thanks

    Thanks for your help but i ahve already tried this including searching the net for the driver and no luck. I've also tried microsoft update but no luck.
    The reason i can't find the drivers is because the cardbus card is supposted to be plug and play but windows doesn't have them.
    The good news is i found out my old card was 32-bit just like the new one so my laptop is compatible. I don't want to just go and by another card incase that one won't work.

  • Satellite 1130-Z31: Cannot get 1600x900 on second monitor

    I have a Toshiba Satellite 1130-Z31 (old one, but still works well).
    Now i have attached a second monitor with a native resolution of 1600x900 pixels.
    I have set the resolution of the second monitor to 1600x900, this is accepted.
    However, the image on the second monitor looks ugly, and the external monitors OSD says it gets 1440x900 pixel signals from the laptop.
    It seems that the Toshiba sends an image with a lower resolution than set.
    I have installed the latest graphics driver - no change.
    Or could this be a problem with a poor quality VGA cable or so?
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Turtle

    Hi
    Unfortunately I was not able to find info which resolutions are supported for external displays but if you cannot get 1600x900 pixels that mean that this resolution is not supported by graphic card.
    Which video port do you use? VGA 15 pin port maybe?

  • 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
    Sam

    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.

  • Satellite Pro L550-13M - cannot run HD product recovery

    I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L550-13M running Windows 7 and I fired it up this morning and it said Windows could not start and went into startup repair.
    The last thing I did with it was last night, when I ran RegistryBooster2 and it cleaned up the registry. I've used this utility loads of times with this and previous notebooks and it's been fine. I guess it's caused the problem though. It backs up the registry, but I can't restore that because I can't boot up!
    So, after rebooting a few times, it eventually said "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically". If I view the diagnostic and repair details, the log lists all these tests, but says they have completed successfully. I'm on repair attempt 38. During one of them, startup repair said it was fixing a registry problem.
    If I try to view the advanced options for system recovery, and select a UK keyboard, I get this message:
    "You must log in to access System Recovery Options"
    and my only option is to click an OK button to restart.
    So, I'm stuck.
    I got a Windows 7 recover CD and running startup repair on that comes up with no errors!
    However, because the notebook is so new, I haven't created any restore points or recovery disks (didn't have any blank DVDs at the time).
    The notebook has a HDD recovery partition, but I can't run the recovery disk to access that option because of the "you must log in" thing above.
    I'm stuck!!!!! Anyone out there with any ideas?
    Extra details:
    Can't boot in safe mode. Last known good configuration doesn't work. All roads lead to startup repair.
    Attempt 38 has this in the startup repair log:
    Root cause found:
    Startup Repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem.
    I can use the Windows 7 recovery CD to get a command prompt and view C: and D: (where the HD recovery files are), but I don't know what to do from there.
    The CD isn't for a Toshiba, so it doesn't list HD recovery as an option. I can only use it to run startup repair (which reports no problems) or get a command prompt.

    I really don't understand what is wrong there.
    The fact is that your notebook model was delivered with Win7 and HDD recovery image.
    That means with factory settings this HDD recovery (as described in document) must work.
    Unfortunately you didn't explain to us what happen when you press F8 at boot-up.
    Can you enter Advanced boot options?
    Is repair my computer option available?
    This non-Toshiba recovery CD will not help you at all. HDD recovery option can be started just as described in the document.
    Do you still have Factory settings (preinstalled image you got with your notebook) or you have maybe installed own Win7 version?

  • Suggestions for new laptop - Maybe Satellite Pro L550-17U

    Wasn't sure where to ask this so it's here in the General category.
    I'm looking for a replacement laptop with a few specific requirements. I can get most of them but the last one is proving difficult. So the requirements are:
    17" screen with at least 1600 horizontal resolution.
    Minimum of 4Gb RAM (8 would be nice)
    Run 64-bit Windows 7
    Bluetooth
    and finally, the cruncher:
    Supports Intel VT (Virtualization Technology)
    I thought the Satellite Pro L550-17U would be OK, but looking at the Intel site, it doesn't seem that the T6570 processor supports VT. And it would have to be supported in the BIOS anyway, and nothing in the spec says it will.
    Anybody able to provide any help please? I'd like to stick with Toshiba, as I've had such great reliability from them, but would consider other makes (sorry Toshiba) if that's the only option.
    Roger

    Thanks for your reply.
    In answer to your first question, as little as I can get away with:). I'm expecting to pay over 600GBP, but certainly won't go over 1000.
    As to your 2nd question, general office plus development work, and occasionally connecting to external screens for presentations. My aim is to run Windows 7 Ultimate with the current versions of MS Office, Visual Studio and Expression Studio and then upgrade those versions when the repacements are out, I also need to run older versions of Windows (XP, Vista) and Office (XP, 2003), hence the VT requirement.
    Going back to your other comment, what isn't 'best' about the L model? I was looking at specs and not really considering the model.

  • Satellite Pro L550-17U PSLW9E - Win 7 64bit HDD recovery question

    Hi,
    Basically when I recieved the laptop it had the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
    I created the backup disks as requested but the first disk got scratched and gets stuck on the install, I can install the 32 bit version (the CD it came with) and I've tried to create a new recovery disk via the 32 bit system but this just creates a 32 bit recovery disk (which I already had the proper disk).
    Just seeing if there is any way to restore the 64 bit system without having to buy a new version of windows?
    Satellite Pro L550-17U
    Part Number : PSLW9E-01500MEN
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and
    Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD)

    Hi buddy,
    The recovery disk that was delivered with your notebook contains *only* Windows 7 32bit version. That means if you install this version, you are able to create 32bit recovery disk but not 64bit. Therefore you would need the 64bit recovery disk.
    In my opinion you can do nothing without ordering a 64bit recovery disk. Such disks can be ordered here:

    I hope I could help you a little bit. :)

  • Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the

    Hi! I've got CS3 Design Standard - the actual disks and Software License certificate. It was installed on my laptop which crashed and could therefore not be uninstalled. I have now installed it on my new MacBook Pro, but cannot get it registered with the serial number. Is it because it wasn't uninstalled on the previous laptop? What to do now?? Thx!

    Maybe this can help someone else...  I simply had to properly uninstall CS3 and reinstall it again after that.  I think that sorted it!  I also remember having a similar issue with Macs at work a couple of years back.  Not sure whether the same applies to CS5/CS6.  Here's a link on how to properly uninstall CS3 on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Mac OS.  I'm on OS X 10.9.2 but it worked just fine.  Remove Creative Suite 3 and CS3 products

    Windows 7 operating system....constantly pops up with a window that says I am not on the internet and can't register my product....obviously I am on the internet at this moment because I am posting on an online forum.   I downloaded the software four times now, after uninstalling it three times.  I downloaded XI Pro. 

  • Macbook pro(2008 later) can not recognise external monitor(NEC UXI2090) with mini-DP to DVI adapter with 9600GT

    I bought mini-DP to DVI frome Apple several monthes ago and it worked well in that time until yesterday the external monitor show me no signal sign. Other PCs were connected with the same cable and monitor and they are fine. I am wondering there is something wrong in the adaptor or macbook pro. Furthermore I found the external monitor can display nornally when I switched to 9400 graphic card and used mini-DP to VGA adapter. If I switch to 9600GT no signal again. If I switch 9400 using mini-DVI, it is shown on the external screening: Out of range... In a word, In the mode of 9600GT, mac can not recognise external monitor(I can not detect it in the systerm preference even I press detect display buttun) and 9400 works in VGA mode. However when I connect adapter to mac, the screen showed blue flash.
    I reseted SMC, no use; I created a new account or enter mac to safe mode, no use; so far I did not reseted PRAM beacuse of something wrong of my system. I am downlaoding Mountain Lion OS and will install it. Then I will reset PRAM and try again.
    I do not know whether I shoud change the adapter or the single-link DVI cable to dual-link. Someone said it is useful in their condition. I tried some methods from BBS, such as connected when devices were off and then open, and so on. I failed.
    Any suggestion for this problem?
    Addition: OS: 10.7.4(Lion)

    I turns out that the logic board of my MacBook Pro was faulty (despite being brand new).
    I took it to the Apple Store, presented the problem, and one of the Tech's came to the same conclusion that I had -- hardware failure.  Phone support was no help in the matter (and even told me that what I was trying to do wasn't a supported option, which is rediculous).  However, the Genius Bar did take care of the problem, and my MacBook Pro was back to me with a replaced logic board within a few days.
    Hope that htis helps.

  • HT1338 the Macbook Pro would not even detect the external monitor.

    My Macbook pro will not connect to an external monitor after moving it. It has been running on this same monitor for 8 months. I switched to a new Desk last night, after hooking it up, the Macbook Pro would not even detect the external monitor. It was only showing the Macs monitor in Display. It did not even have where you could "Detect Display" available. Is there an update that I may have missed. I have tested all the Monitor connections with another laptop they all work.

    finally I would like to know if my computer falls under

    If nothing displays but you hear normal startup sounds, then it's possible this is a video issue, and you should take it to an Apple store or AASP.

  • MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.

    MacBook Pro won't stay asleep with external monitor attached.  When sleep is selected from the Apple menu the computer will go to sleep only to continually wake up...go back to sleep...wake up...etc. every few seconds.  This only happens when using the external monitor. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Mine does that too. The worst thing is when it goes to sleep, then wakes up and keeps running while the lid is closed and it is wrapped up in a case. I am afraid when the hot weather comes it is going to burn up. I am hoping Apple fixes it in the software or they may have a melted MBP to replace.
    Then when I open the lid it is crashed running at fill tilt, pumping out heat to beat the band. I am forced to hold the button down and reboot.
    I wiped my hard disk and reinstalled my OS, but it didn't help. I reversed my OS to 10.5.0 and it solved the DVI problem but still won't sleep. This post will probably be deleted by Apple, they did it a few days ago. I just don't know what to do, and I consider myself a real Apple expert. Just hoping you realize you are not the only one.

  • Satellite Pro L360-14E - Cannot play videos on external monitor

    Toshiba Satellite Pro L360-14E
    Video files as avi, flv, mp4 are played with SM-player etc. on the screen of the notebook, but not on the attached external monitor.
    In a log there is the error message: MPlayer crashed by bath usage OF CPU/FPU/RAM.
    What can mean that?

    Did you switch already to the external monitor using the FN+F5 buttons?
    Do this.
    Furthermore you have to switch firstly to external screen and then you have to start the windows media player or other video player.
    I would recommend using the VLC player. Its fro free and plays most files
