Twist S230U maximum connected displays

Can I connect 2 external monitors at the same time to my twist? I already have the displayport to a vga monitor. Can I hook up an HDMI TV at the same time as th VGA through the minihdmi port?

Yes, you can connect two external monitors at the same time. The easiest and perhaps only way to do this is with the Displayport to Displayport splitter. This will enable you to have the internal LCD + 2 external LCD (both connected to the DP splitter) on at the same time. For this to work the two external monitors must both natively support DP and have the same resolution and refresh rate.

  • Thinkpad Twist s230U no internal display, works on HDMI and mini display port

    Hi,
    My Thinkpad Twist does not display anything when turned on except on external monitors. The Device manager shows a greyed out internal display icon, says it is not connected.
    1. Could this be the power connect ribbon cable p/n DC002C003W00 have a fractured wire(s)? I have tested for open circuit between PWR1 and PWR2 connectors and there are 4 sequential pins which are open circuit. Is this normal?
    2. The touch screen works
    3. There appears to be absolutely no LED backlighting working
    4. Is there a possible fix for this and if so is it the power cables or some physical problem with the ribbon cables OR is it definitely a new display that is needed using existing cables?
    Thanks in advance
    Andrew

    The last 4 pins on the connector are unused I have determined so it is not the power ribbon cable connector.
    I found two wires fractured in the LCD ribbon cable right at the point where it feeds through the twist mount. I expect this could be a common problem after use. After repairing these two wires it did not fix the screen problem. I have ordered a replacement LDVS ribbon cable and will report back once I have replaced that.

  • Twist s230u second display bad resolution

    Hi I just bought a ThinkPad Twist S230U (3347-6LU)  with Intyel HD 4000 graphics adapter and I try to connect my external 22" LCD monitor (1680x1050) using the miniHDMI to HDMI cable, but when I extend the desktop to the second display only have the 1920x1080,1280x720 and 1024x768 choices.
    How can i add the correct resolution (1680x1050)?
    Regards,
    Alejandro Castrejon

    I'm having a similar problem. When I plug the HDMI cable into the laptop, the screen does a quick flash to black like normal, but there's no signal to the external monitor. After a few seconds, the monitor goes into "HDMI power saving mode." I've tried multiple cables, multiple adapters, and even tried hooking it up to an HDMI projection system at my office. Same result with everything--laptop acts like an external display has been connected, but there' s no picture at the destination.
    This used to work without a problem, so I don't know what's changed. I tried updating the display driver and even went back to Windows 8 and up to 8.1 again. Nothing. It's a huge problem because I travel and present for a living and some of the venues only have HDMI. I bought a minidisplay to HDMI adapter, but it would be nice to use the native port.

  • Thinkpad Twist s230u: Can no Longer Connect to the Internet

    Hello,
    Several days ago my Lenovo Thinkpad Twist suddenly stopped connecting to the internet. I was at the cafe using my phone hotspot and everything was fine, but then when I got back home, it could not detect any wireless networks in my house. I thought it may have just been my wi-fi but my phone could connect to the wi-fi just fine. I tried plugging in my phone again for personal hotpot and it could detect my phone, but no longer connect to the internet (it'd say that it's connected, but no pages would load). I tried rebooting my computer, but the wireless networks still could not be found and my phone's hotspot could no longer help it connect to the internet. I tried a Malwarebytes Scan but that didn't detect anything, and my McAfee virus scanner is not gonna help me find anymore viruses (long story as to why I don't have a better virus protection).
    Can't really install any updates since I can't connect to the internet at all...rebooted several times to no avail...
    Any sort of help or ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you so much!
    Sincerely,
    Ingrid

    I just started to have similar problem. I cannot connect to interent via ethernet or wifi. Both connections show I am connected, but cannot acces any web pages. It is like it is not connected. I would like to know how to restore back to when I bought it, 12/20/13, and then re-load the Windows 8 pro that is somewhere on the partition HD. Any help out there?????? All my other devices/laptops/computers work fine on the internet.

  • Cannot Disable Auto-Rotat​e on Twist s230u

    I want to completely disable the screen auto-rotation on my Twist s230u and prevent it from re-enabling at all.  The only modes I use it in are tablet mode or laptop mode, so I have no use for this.  Is there a way to do this?
    The checkbox under the Screen Resolution section of Display Properties doesn't seem to do jack.  The screen still rotates when this is unchecked.  I've also rolled back the driver of the Lenovo PM Device from 1.67 to 1.66 as per this thread.  Can't say I've noticed a difference after this either.
    Any other ideas?  Thanks.

    Dear Redv
    Welcome in lenovo forums
    All what you need to Disable the auto Rotate Screen is to press on the highlighted button as shows below :-
    - There is anotification massage will be dispayed to confirming that the auto rotate disabled
    Let me know

    ... anybody have idea to solve this. In the client add code to keep track of how many connections are open
    and display this and a stacktrace when you get Maximum Connections Reached Exception.
    Even if you were using connection pooling
    the database can still reject connections above a certain number of concurrent connections.

  • TS5148 When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".

    When I try to play a movie on Netflix from my IPad, I get a pop up saying: Cannot play video. "The connected display is not supported".  I have updated my Apple TV, tried restarting it, and have tried using my IPod Touch all without any luck. This display has worked in the past. This just happen a couple days ago.
    Any ideas out there?

    I have been successfully using my Apple TV with my iPad2 to access Netflix through airplay (mirroring) and suddenly it won't work.  It says "the connected display is not supported"  What's up?
    Also when I try to stream Netflix through my Apple TV menu on my television it says "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later.  But trying again later doesn't work any better.
    Now the only way I can watch Netflix is using my small iPad screen.  It appears the problem is with streaming Netflix through my Apple TV

  • "Cannot play video - The Connected display is not supported" error message using Netflix 5.0.2 on my iPad

    I'm running iOS 7.0.3 on my iPhone 4S and iPad (3rd gen) and have just upgraded to the current version of the Neflix app available in the Canadian App Store (5.0.2).
    Although all other apps I've tried (e.g. Podcast, VLC) are able to properly output video & audio directly to my TV using the HDMI adapter (i.e. NOT via an Apple TV), the Netflix app pops up the error message "Cannot play video - The connected display is not supported".  If I start a video and then plug the HDMI cable in, it will play for a few seconds and then halt with the same error message.
    Netflix & Apple were supposed to have been working together to fix the previous issue with this scenario which was causing audio to be output but no video.  The current Netflix app update was released yesterday and seems to have taken a step backward.
    When I contacted Netflix support, they indicated that they have done whatever can be done from their side and this is now Apple's issue.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hello all,
    I have an iPad 2 16GB with iOS 7.0.3 and Netflix version 5.0.2. I cannot watch netflix on an External LCD monitor that I have through VGA out. I use bluetooth speakers, so the AirPlay is going to that for Audio. Before this update, this combo worked without an issue.
    So as of Friday Nov. 8/2013, I contacted Netflix support, and they said they fixed the problem on their end, and the fix is on the Apple side of things, and to contact Apple support.
    So, I contacted Apple support, and the first person I spoke to said I would have to agree to pay a $35 fee for 30 days of support to this problem since my unit is out of warranty. I said this isn't a hardware issue, it's a software issue, and I'm not willing to pay to fix a problem you created. So I got a Senior Level advisor on the line, and she was helpful, and she's looking into the issue for me and said she'll contact me sometime on Tuesday or Wednesday (Nov. 12 or 13) to let me know of the issue.
    Here's the thing: this is a combination of Netflix and iOS not working correctly with any of the Apple Authorized Dongles. This is truly a code error that some hot shot programmer had major oversight on, and their management didn't catch it either. There was no reason for Netflix to rush to get this Netflix update going until Apple sorted out the bugs in iOS 7.
    Anyway, if I hear anything from Donna (the advisor), I'll post it and let you guys know. In the mean time, good luck!

  • My camera in twist s230U after upgrade to win 8.1 show a diagonal cross line

    After windows 8.1 update I am unable to use my camera for skype in my twist S230U and take a snap.It shows a diagonal cross line in the camera image but the camera light shows up,.getting click sound but camera could not take a picture or use video in skype.Any solution please/
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I also had this problem and could not find the detailed solution but this thread did help me get the camera going. I tried uninstalling the camera device, downloading the latest driver and re-installing, rebooting and no change.
    What did work immediately for me was to go to the "Lock Screen" settings then “Swipe down on the lock screen to use the camera” setting,  turn it off, then back on, (it was already on) and the camera was back to normal once again.
    My suggestion is to do this first, before anything else, and see if it works for you?

    I have new IPad ...can't watch rented downloaded movie on my tv..error message is " The connected display is not authorized to play protected movies"... What is up with that???

    I had exact same problem and I have found a way to get round out!!!! Easy!
    So the reason it doesn't allow it to play is for security to stop piracy etc.
    Plug in the cable and VGA and aux cable and get everything set up so you are looking at the home screen.
    1) select Videos
    2) selected the film you want to watch
    3) click the little play button
    4) it will then come up with the message saying it can't play protected films blah blah blah
    5) WITHOUT clicking ok double tap the home button to bring up the multitasking bar and swipe left to reveal the control panel
    6) hold fast forward for a second or two and the movie with continue to play!
    Stay in the multi tasking bar with the control panel, The message will stay there but don't worry. Kick back and enjoy your iPad movie on the big screen:)
    I'm sure your saying thanks:) it was my pleasure realising I've outsmarted apples little security protection thing lol

  • ASA5510 - Maximum connect time

    Quick question.  I have configured the "Maximum Connect Time" as unlimited in my group policy but when a connection is established it shows a "Conn Time Out: 120 minutes".
    The connection does get dropped with this timer.  Any idea how to actually make it unlimited and why it get sets to 120?
    I having a problem with SSL phone clients dropping throughout the day and think this may be the cause.
    Thanks

    I ended up rebooting the ASA this morning and it fixed the issue.  Right away the timeout changed to what I had configured it to be and I was also able to make changes.
    Here's the response from TAC.  Thanks for helping with this.  Much appreciated.
    "I am glad that the issue was resolved on a reboot. Might be that svc sessions were stuck in the memory for some reason and the same sessions would be invoked every time you connected rather than tearing it down and creating a new svc session.
    Once rebooted I believe the sessions stuck in memory were cleared and new sessions came up as a result the issue vanished. I shall surely update you as I have an update from the devs on this."
