Setting default monitor on Satellite Pro 6070

Hi
I have a sat pro6070 and I was wondering how you change the default monitor in settings, for example:- when I right click on the screen and choose properties, then go to settings, it is showing I have 2 monitors installed, No1 and No2
I want to have the No2 as my default/primary monitor but I am unable to figure out how to change the default monitor.
Also when I go into system properties it is showing I have THREE monitors installed, 2 x default monitors and 1 plug and play. I dont understand it at all
any help appreciated
thanks

On my notebook this option is greyed out therefore Im agree with the Ivan.
Mostly its not possible to set the external monitor to default display!
As far as I know you can connect the external monitor and then you can switch the display to the second, external monitor using the FN+F5 key combination.
But this option is not the same like default display it allows you to use both displays at the same time..

  • Set default monitor at boot before X?

    Hi,
    I have a plasma tv and a normal 24" monitor plugged into a Nvidia GTX 960 both are DVI.
    When I boot up the TV is the default and the monitor doesnt display anything.
    Both work fine in X but how can I set the monitor to be the default monitor on boot?
    Thanks.

    Honestly the DVI ports are two different types DVI-D and DVI-I. Only one is able to covert DVI to old VGA with an adaptor. So the TV has to be lugged into that port as it's VGA.
    Here's a picture of my actual card http://www.gigabyte.com/fileupload/prod … 44_big.png
    Those extra 4 holes in the port on the left are what allow the analogue conversion. I think manufactures are starting to phase out the old DVI-D like they did for VGA.

  • Connecting additional Flatron L1515S LG Monitor to Satellite Pro P100

    How do I do it?
    We have a Sat.Pro P100 on our boat for navigation (and films on night watch) with the above monitor on deck. I have connected the 15 pin cable, turned on the external monitor, powered the P100 on and no signal. I understand that the sresolution on the LG Monitor is only 1045 etc, but can anyone give me a clue what else I can do.
    And exactly what should Fn + F5 achieve? Some answers as soon as posssible as we supposedly sail tomorrow. Thanks Sue

    Hi there,
    the maximum resolution of your screen is 1024x768, so when connecting the screen to your machine and powering it up then you should get a picture on the external screen.
    Maybe you have to push that auto setup button on your screen when powering up. And if you cannot get any picture at startup, then you should be at least be able to switch the screen with that FN-F5 combination when reaching the windows desktop (this key-combination is for switching between internal/external screen). Otherwise you can also try to switch to the screen by righ-clicking on your desktop, then left-click on "properties", choosing the "settings" tab and activating there the external screen.
    Please try it and give a feedback if it worked.

  • Satellite Pro 6070 Slim Select Bay Drive won't regonize CDs

    I have a problem with my Slim Select Bay DVD drive. The disc motor is running and the laser unit is moving, but it won't recognize any disc until I flip the whole notebook on the right side.
    Then after a few attempts with opening and closing the drive, the drive reads the disc at most times. So i think it's a problem with the contacts inside the notebook because windows does recognize it everytime.
    Has anyone here any idea how to solve it?
    Many thanks

    Sorry but I don't understood your question. Obviously there is contact problem and how you think that you can solve it.
    If someone write here that you should disassemble whole notebook and check or maybe clean contacts do your really want to do this?

  • DC power light flash yellow - Satellite Pro 6070

    I have a Toshiba laptop that I got from a mate, when I push the power button it flashes a green light as if it is going to go on but then on the DC power light starts to flash yellow. I have looked this up but wanted to make sure it was right...
    I got told that there were 3 batteries on the laptop the main one the bios one and another one. I have looked at other logs on here and tried gettin it to work just off the mains but the same thing happens.
    How would I go about gettin it fixed or what could be the problem?

    Hi
    It dose not sounds very optimistically The DC IN indicator glows usually green when the DC power is supplied from the AC power adaptor.
    But if the adaptors output voltage is abnormal or if the power supply malfunctions, this indicator flashes orange.
    Either there is something wrong with power supply electronic on the motherboard or the AC adaptor malfunctions.
    In my opinion its the first possibility and in such case I dont think that you will be able to fix it yourself.
    Im afraid the technician advice and help is needed :(

  • Satellite Pro A60: External monitor shimmers

    I use a Satellite Pro A60 with a second (tft) monitor as a dual display setup. When displaying dark backgrounds or images on the second monitor there is a very noticable horizontal shimmer that moves around on the screen.
    I have tested the monitor on another machine and it is fine, so I can only assume there is a problem with the notebook or the ATI graphics card.
    If anyone can help me solve this problem I would be very grateful, as it is giving me a headache (literally!).

    Hello andy
    I use external TFT at home with my Tecra and it works fine. The screen refresh rate for external TFT monitor must be set to 60 Hz. If the problem still persists there must be some other reason for this.
    I am pretty sure that non-Toshiba display driver can also be responsible for this issue but I hope that you use Toshiba designed driver for graphic card. You should also try to connect some other TFT or even CRT monitor and check if the same problem persists. If yes it is caused by graphic card and you should contact service partner. It is possible that graphic card must be exchanged.
    In my opinion this can not be solved by BIOS or other kind of update.
    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro P100: losing picture on external monitor when I use DVI-D connection

    Guys,
    I've got a Samsung SyncMaster 940MW LCD TV and a Satellite Pro P100 (Geforce Go 7600), so recently I bought a DVI-D cable to connect them together.
    Now the problem is that when I've got it connected at 1400x900 the LCD TV screen switches to a black screen repeatedly (usually when there is alot of activity or I'm resizing windows from maximum to mimimum).
    Now, I would have thought it would be the LCD TV not liking the signal or refresh rate however I've connected it using a VGA cable and its fine - no problem all no matter how much I mimimise my windows or put alot of activity on screen. To complicate things even more, when I'm running the screens in "Dual Screen" mode rather than "Clone" if I set one of them 1400x900 @ 59hz in 16bit it works fine....??
    Can someone please help as this is doing my head in as I can't figure out what the hell is causing it!
    I've included a list below of all the different resolutions / screen modes I've tried it in and the outcome.
    Thanks for your time & help.
    Regards
    Craig.

    Hello
    I hope you have checked Users manuals delivered with your unit. On the page 148 you can find very interesting table about supported display resolution.
    I must be honest with you and say that I am not DVI expert because my LCD has no this port, just HDMI but if I am understood you right you have problem with 1440x900 resolution only. This resolution is not listed as supported and I presume it is not unusual that you have problem.
    Sorry but I believe you must use maximum supported 1280x1024 resolution only.

  • 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 can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    How can I set default printer options on an iMac for an HP pro 8500 printer to print in draft mode?

    When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

  • 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

    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.

    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!!!

    I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
    My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.

    I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
    Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.
