Satellite U500 - picture on external display appears yellow

I use to attach the external display to my laptop to expand my desktop.
All of sudden one da the external display turned yellow.
I can still use the screen but everything on external screen is yellowish.
I connected my laptop with other screen with my laptop and its still yellow, then I tried to connect other laptop to my screen and it worked fine.
It looks like there is some problem with hardware, I have upgrade drives and did all I can do with software but still not done :(

> I connected my laptop with other screen with my laptop and its still yellow, then I tried to connect other laptop to my screen and it worked fine.
This means that this issue is related to notebook and not to the external monitor.
I think it could be a graphic card related issue since the display driver update or new installation didnt change the situation.
So what to say; the GPU needs to be checked and in my eyes this is a job for a Toshiba notebook technicians.
What do you think?

Satellite L50-B-1P1 - external display is not working

I have just bought a satellite L50-B-1P1. When I tried to connect the RGB (VGA) port to a TV ( as a external monitor), the display screen of the laptop became smaller and the right part of the whole picture was missing, even when the external monitor was not switched on.
The laptop screen has left and right display a black background. The picture is located in the middle. Is this supposed to be normal or something is wrong with this laptop?
All answers are welcomed

As I understood the message, you have enabled the external display output and could see the picture on the TV.
The question is; what resolution the TV supported and what external output option did you choose?
The point is that you can switch to the external display choosing the option; extended desktop, clone display or you can switch off the internal display and show the picture only on external monitor TV.
In case you have cloned the display, both displays (internal + external) has to use the same resolution! In case the TV would support lower resolution, the internal notebook screen would lower the resolution too!
I would recommend you to read the user manual it provides some basic notebook knowledge

Satellite U500 - Black edges on external monitor

Hello,
I have problems with HDMI connection to TV.
At FULL HD resolution is in 42" FULL HD TV about 4 cm black edges all around display.
I tried with 3 different HDMI cables, 2 different FULL HD TV and one LCD screen, but everywhere were black edges. Black edges appears when you start computer (at first Toshiba screen and BIOS too).
With same cables and monitors but other laptop is picture without edges.
When I was tryed with HDMI cable (stl.U500) which have got on the other side DVI output (LCD FULL HD screen) was picture without black edges. With normal VGA - VGA cable is FULL HD picture also without edges.
Where could be a problem?
System is Windows 7 64bit with latest ATI display driver and latest BIOS (2.20).
Greetings

Hi Mathew,
Im not a Satellite U500 owner but I assume there must be something wrong with the settings. I never had any problem with the HDMI connection to my external monitor or TV. Its always working fine.
Anyway, what screen resolution you are using on external monitor? You should use the native screen resolution on external monitor. Then you should be able to use fullscreen mode there.
Check this!!!

Satellite A200 external display is blurred

We have bought 5x satellite A200. After connecting it to any external display we get nothing but blurred picture.
It's impossible to work on it.
Our other notebooks P200 series work well on presented displays. We really do not know what to do with it. We tried to use Nvidia utility, WIndows utility, upgrading the drivers, switching the display via keyboard but we get the blurred picture in all cases.
We are very satisfied with A200 performance, but the external picture is unusable. Would you recommend us a solution?
Thank you!
Filippi

Hi
Could you please post exactly name of the Satellite A200.
Are these units delivered with an NVIDIA graphic card or with Intel card?
In the nVidia control panel you can change the brightness and the contrast of the display.
Im not 100% sure if you will be able to choose the external monitor but its worth a try.
Go to the control panel -> nVidia -> Display -> Adjust desktop colour settings
The new page should appear where you can adjust your colour settings.
Check if the external monitor appears and choose it. Then you could change the position of the brightness and contrast control.

Satellite L500 - How to show external display after closing lid?

Hi,
i`m using the Satellite L500-120 Notebook, and before installing Windows 7 the laptop had a very comfortable function, when i applied an external display.
When i closed the lid of my notebook, the desktop was shown on my external display (with the native resolution of the external display), so i didn`t have to
switch anything at the Control Panel. In Windows 7, i`m missing this function. I already tried to use the Control Panel, but there are no settings, which fits
with the earlier ones. I can duplicate the display, in order to see my desktop screen at my external display, but with the notebook resolution of 1366 x 768.
If i extend the displays, then there is only the background image at the external display, but this time with the native resolution.
So my question is, how to conifgure Windows to recognize that i closed the lid, and that the desktop screen has to be shown on my external display?
Or do i have to install one of the Toshiba applications, which i had before, that realized this function?
Thanks for any help!

Hi
Im not a Windows 7 user because I will wait until it will be released offical but I hope I can help you a little bit:
First of all in Power Management you can choose the action what happens if you close the Lid (e. g. sleep, turn off, etc.). This action should be disabled because otherwise the notebook will shut down or something else.
Then I think you have to install the display driver for your notebook. You can try the Vista driver because the most of them are work on Windows 7.
Then you should be able to set the correct screen resolution for external monitor.
A working display driver is important for clone or extends monitors so check this!!

Satellite A300-202 - External display turned a strange color

Hi,
I have a Satellite A300-202 with a ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650, and after upgrade from vista to windows 7, my external display turned a strange color, seemed to lose the red color. Never show the white color, in which should show the white color shows the color blue.
I have uninstalled and installed again the graphic card drivers and update the new drivers but dont solved this trouble. My external monitor it's ok because I have tried with other laptop and don't have this trouble. I have also tried my laptop with other monitor and have the same trouble.
Anybody ever had this problem, someone who can help me?
Thanks,

Hi Xardas,
Yes I have problems only with the external monitor.
I tried both. Now I have the new beta version to the windows 7 64bits, downloaded from the amd/ati site, but I have tried also with the version available in the toshiba drivers page to my A300-202, and had the same problem.
Yes I have installed the new version of the BIOS too.
Thanks,

Satellite M55: Fn+F5 hot key cannot switch to external display

Hi,
I have tried to hook up a projector, however when i press fn + f5 I get no response. I know that the projector works as i have tried it on another pc.
I've had a look through the forums and on google and can see that this is an issue for other people as well, but have been unable to find an solution except that it appears to be a toshiba manufacturer setting which is stopping this from working.
Many thanks
Will

Hi Will
On my Satellite the Hotekey utility for display devices is responsible for the function of FN+F5 buttons. I suppose this tool was also installed on your notebook.
I think if this utility (driver) doesnt work and you cannot use these keys so you should try to reinstall this application.
The unit looks like a US notebook therefore you should check the Toshiba US website.
Check the driver download page and install the necessary drivers.

Is it ok to keep Satellite U500 closed while using external monitor?

Hello,
I have a Satellite U500.
When at home, I use an external monitor and a keyboard. So I would close the laptop while working at home.
Can I do this, or would it damage the screen, or otherwise hinder the laptop from correctly ventilating in any way ?
Thank you a lot for your answers.
Thierry

Hi mate
Of course you can close the lid when the notebook is connected to the external monitor.
I have a Satellite notebook as well and its connected to the external monitor.
I have also an USB keyboard.
I use external keyboard instead of internal notebook keyboard and lid is closed too
So dont worried its ok!

Hi, my iphone's display appears pale yellow in colour when compared wit my friends' iphones' display which looks bright white in colour. When I took it to the apple store, they said that the display of few the iphones differs. Is that true?

Hi, my iphone's display appears pale yellow in colour when compared wit my friends' iphones' display which looks bright white in colour. When I took it to the apple store, they said that the display of few the iphones differs. Is that true?

Thank you. Is there any way that I can check whether it is a duplicate display? I am asking this because I got this phone from my friend.

I get a dark screen on startup, but the result is ok. If an external display is also attached, the usual grey screen and gear appears. What is this?

When I boot my macbook pro (mid 2011) I have a blank screen until the log-on screen appears. Otherwise everything is fine. I am not used to that but rather the grey screen followed by apple logo and then the gear. If, however, I have an external display attached (projector), I get the usual screens at the external display's resolution. Is this a problem? Is there some setting to change? Thanks.

Satellite M500 - Closing LID turns off external display

I just bought a new M500 today. I use a 46" TV as external display. When I close the lid the external display goes off and the laptop hibernates.
How do I stop this as I use the external display 95% of the time?
Thanks in advance.

Hello
This is only an option that you have to change in Windows Power Management. Go to power options and select the power profile that you are using. Edit the plan and scroll down until Power buttons and lid => Lid close action. Change this option to do nothing. With Apply and OK you save this settings.
Now you can try it again. I must say for me it did work because I also work with external monitor. :)

Satellite U500 - Disabling signal which appears pressing Multimedia buttons

every time i touch the volume - or + on my Toshiba Satellite U500, a loud and irritating high pitched beep signals that the button has beem pressed.
how do I turn this sound effect off?

Hi
Im not sure if you can disable this.
From my knowledge its not related to Windows sounds.
Therefore I dont think that you could disable this in Win 7 sound personalization settings.
I think you should take a look into the BIOS for some options..

External Displays tinted Green/yellow after update

I had just installed the Java 5.0 and latest AirPort update to my powerbook and the next time I tried to plug in my TV the display was suddenly dark and had a green tint. I'm not sure the updates had anything to do with it, maybe something just shorted out when I plugged in the external adapter. I have been using an external monitor everyday for the past 2 years with this powerbook with no problems, now since this incident my external display is tinted green on all monitors and TVs. Color profiles don't help at all. Is there anything that I can do software-wise in attempt to fix this problem, or is it probable that something happened with my video card that will require it to be replaced? I have zapped the pram, but nothing. Has anyone else had this problem, I saw a few posts about external display abnormalities, but no solutions. I use my laptop as a desktop most of the time (external monitor, keyboard/mouse, clamshell) so this is a very big problem for me. Please help!!

I forgot to mention, this is a 12" powerbook, not a 15". I made the mistake of posting this in the wrong place, I dont see a way to move it, could a moderator? Anyway, I've also since tried resetting the open firmware, deleting all display prefs I could find and holding down "r" on startup. No results.

Question about using HD LCD TV 1080p as external display

When i connect my MacBook to my new Samsung LCD HD TV, it set the screen resolution correctly to 1080p. The picture seems very nice, but when I move some text to the big screen the text is not so clear.
Why not? Am I doing something wrong or can I do something to make the picture (text) nicer?

Screen resolution, in general, is a hard thing to explain to individuals who don't work in graphics manipulation, and for good reason. It seems backwards at times. How is it that a 36" 1080p TV can appear blurrier than a 24" 720p TV? Why is 720p better than 1080i?
As far as using a 1080p display with my computer, I've settled on a 24" Samsung 1080p monitor/tv. I find it's a good balance between pricing, ppi, readability and other factors that one might consider important when looking at external display options.
Frankly, modern computer OS GUIs are not designed to be used on a display that is upwards of 8 or 12 feet away from you, no matter how big it is, or how high its resolution is. They take advantage of high resolution displays so that sitting close to a screen is less taxing on your sight over time. There are alternatives, obviously, like Media Center and Apple's media software, which are designed for using a computer on a television.

Satellite U500 - Bluetooth issues BT Monitor vs. Bt Stack

Hello everyone,
My wife's machine is a Satellite U500-10L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with Vista pre-installed, later with W7Pro 32-bit.)
Now, I've always had various issues with Bluetooth on this machine, and it's the only machine I've ever had Bluetooth issues with, mostly having to do with internet connectivity via mobile phones.
Most usually, I connect to the internet using Sony Ericsson PC Suite and a Bluetooth-controlled Sony Ericsson mobile phone (currently and Elm, and occasionally a Hazel or a C702.) This setup has always worked flawlessly on every other machine I've used, such as my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710b given to me by my previous employer for a couple of years, and even my untrustworthy old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased), and my mother's ancient Macbook. With those machines, I've never had any trouble connecting to any of the phones or to the internet, with no drops, connection issues or any other issues.
Not so with this U500. I'm writing this while connected through PC Suite, with Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable, and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works flawlessly for days on end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. Generally, though, I get a connection more often than not, but the issue is annoying nevertheless.
Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT Stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack control panel and managed to dial the connection, so far so good. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it's actually connected, and so does the BT Stack control panel and the Windows 7 connectivity monitor in the system tray, but there's no actual access to the internet (I only get the little yellow triangle with the +no internet access+ message, but the phone is dialed in.)
So, I tried reinstalling PC Suite (with BT Stack present), and things got even worse: now the BT connection itself between PC Suite and the phone is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it just works well enough to actually get a connection (albeit an unreliable one.)
So now I've uninstalled the BT Stack, reinstalled BT Monitor and went back to using PC Suite for dialing, and the same issues I mentioned earlier still persist.
Now, my two questions are these: a. why didn't I get any internet access with BT Stack, even though the phone was actually dialed in to the connection? and b. assuming the internet access issue is resolved, would I possibly get a more reliable connection (i.e. one that doesn't suddenly decide to drop every so often) with BT Stack instead of the PC Suite/BT Monitor setup?
Thanks in advance.

Just an update: I've found that as long as there is a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, there would be no issues. The Bluetooth connectivity issue only starts to appear whenever there's something - anything - in the way between the two.
Let me clarify. Now I'm sitting at my desk, with the U500 right in front of me, while the mobile phone is hanging from a nail in the wall above me and to the left. Now that there's a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, I have no issues at all.
Now, let's say I take the U500 off the desk, put in on my lap, and turn my back to the phone. In this case, my head and torso would be in the way of a direct line of sight between the two, and the stability of the connection begins to deteriorate, and it becomes very unreliable - sometimes even dropping the Bluetooth connection altogether (Sony Ericsson PC Suites goes all gray on me!)
Here's another example: there's a printer sitting on the desk right to my left. Now, if I stack up a bunch of magazines on top of the printer, high enough to be within the line of sight, I will start having issues!
So, I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth connectivity issue, and has nothing to do with the internet connection or firewall. It's clearly a hardware quality issue.
By contrast, I never experienced any such issue with my B300, the HP Compaq 6710b I had earlier, or even with my now-deceased ThinkPad T42. Hell, I might as well have gone into a different room entirely and still maintained a Bluetooth connection with those three machines! With the Toshiba, though, as soon as I carry the thing out the door - which is about four feet from the phone - the connection is gone!
