  • Anonymous Feb 22, 2013

    Hi Harry YES but I do not know enough about it! I am hooking from one toshiba laptop to another! I had the problem before and somehow managed to get it up and running. Then I stopped a Microsoft Office Platform Service and rebooted with a disc in and the only lights that come on is the battery, ac, timer. I have taken the hard drive out and put it in another laptop! I am trying at the moment to make sure all the processess are restarted. I will take any help or suggestions I can try! Thanks

Fn and f5 will not switch pc screen to tv screen

The cause is likely the incorrect touchpad driver. Try downloading the most current driver.

My samsung r20 backlight keeps going off, if i press the Fn and F5 button it comes on for a second and then back off

If you can see the images on the screen very faintly when you shine a flashlight on the screen, then your problem more than likely is the LCD Inverter. The LCD Inverter costs less than $10, but you will have to disassemble the lcd screen to get to it.

I'm sure you know that you can attach an external monitor to your laptop and hit the FN key and hold it while you hit the correct F1 thru F8 key that will display the image on the external monitor? This could be a solution until you get the inverter fixed.

Now a dishonest repairman will take advantage of you if you take that laptop to them talking about the backlight is going bad. He'll simply bill you $300 and tell you he had to replace the LCD Screen which houses the back light an most times it's easier to replace the screen then fool with the backlight. And in your case all he would do is replace the lcd inverter that sits under the lcd screen and is covered by the strip at the bottom that goes around the lcd screen.

Aspire Notebook 5735-4774 won't display on external CRT monitor

If the video chip on the Aspire motherboard is OK then the image on the external monitor would be OK. If not then the video/motherboard is faulty.
To gain access to data on the hard disk, remove the hard disk and connect it to an USB hard drive adapter and plug it into a working computer's USB port. The computer will see this as an external hard drive.
Alternately -
You can put the hard drive in an USB hard drive adapter case and use it as an external USB hard drive.

Screen not working but other monitor work

Your "F"keys are multi function. Look for the one with a picture of a monitor. Press the FN key adt the appropriate F key at the same time. You are probably in remote monitor mode. The F key is usually F5 or F8.

I have an hp ze2000. I hooked it up to an external monitor. When I unhooked it and restarted it my laptop screen now stays blank. Who knows the answer to this?

I think you have to reset through setup F12 or is it F8 restart and push one or the other, then locate menu for screen click to enable.

Haven't come across this before. Best I can suggest?

Fn+f5 does not work. unable to switch between screens.

Thanks for your reply. I was working outside the house all day and we went out for dinner after to wind down.

I'll get back with you with a link if I can find a driver now that I know you have me and I have your model and series number.
