Video Card problem?

I am not sure if this is a problem with the video card or the screen. When my computer is turned on, the screen only shows vertical lines. I can plug an external monitor in, and it displays everything just fine. If anybody has any ideas on how to fix this, I would be very happy.

    Only vertical lines appear when I turn it on, but I can connect it to an external computer. According to Circuit City, the video card & the monitor need to be replaced. The video card is only $15, but the monitor is over $500. I'm not sure how they are able to determine that I also need the monitor to be replaced. WIth labor & taxes, it will cost me $600 to repair, which means I should just buy another laptop.

What do I have to do to download from tablet to SD card

Insert SD card into your tab and make sure it is detected and accessible.

Download your files.

Open file manager on your tab and navigate to Download folder. Click to open.

Hold on the file(s) downloaded one after the other to select.

Top right of your screen or bottom right of your screen you will observe a set of 3 dots aligned on top of each other (i.e. if an options menu has not popped open); click on these.

Options to copy, share or a symbol like a Y turned on its side will become visible; select and navigate your way to SD card (still within file manager); click to open and then Paste/copy here.

A video tutorial would have been appropriate. Working on this please

My grandpa bought a RCA for me to put all his songs on it. And they are all on the computer and i dont know how to transfer them

There are two ways:
  • From computer. Use micro USB cable,connect it to tablet. Computer will detect the tablet as storage device. Open explorer. Copy your files from computer to tablet in the folder where you want to store/save.

  • Use micro SD card. Insert microSD card to computer/laptop. Copy your files to microSD card. Remove microSD card. Insert it on your tablet. Access the files. To access files on microSD card, you can see on this video :

Video is courtessy of Youtube - RCA.

You also can use flashdisk as a files transfer storage.
If using flashdisk,transfer procedur is same as for microSD.
If using flashdisk,you need miniUSB to USB adapter. See photo:25848604-tr0bbbe1g5ua2mps4ks3loyz-2-3.jpg

Can the touch screen or video card on a HP TC1100 be upgraded?

Hi, well I have found out that NO you cannot "Upgrade" either the screen, or the Video card. This is due to the BIOS, not being able to be upgraded to allow for this to happen. And HP do NOT support anything like this either :(

POST 1 long 2 short beeps and no other boot action. What does this post mean

This means that the BIOS was unable to access the video system in order to write any error messages on your screen. This problem is usually caused by the video card encountering hardware failure or the memory of the video card failing and/or sometimes the motherboard itself.

I wANT TO CONNET MY LAPTOP TO MY CRT TV

What you need:
This is hard to define initially as there are so many ways to achieve this depending on what type of television you have and what video outputs your computer offers. You may also find that you only want to attach the stereo, and leave the TV disconnected, or vice versa.

.HDMI - High Definition Multimedia Interface: Ideally we will all have an HDMI connection on both our television and video card, but most likely don’t have it on either. Many new LCD screen and Plasma displays offer this mother of connections. They are also becoming a little more popular on Video cards. This will give you the highest quality signal. This format can also carry audio. This is very easy to connect from one device to another. It offers the same video quality as a DVI.

here are some tips that will help
Computer has HDMI and TV has HDMI – Use HDMI
Computer has DVI and TV has DVI – Use DVI
Computer has DVI and TV has VGA – Use VGA + Adaptor
Computer has VGA and TV has VGA – Use VGA
Computer has S-Video and TV has S-Video – Use S-Video
Computer has RCA and TV has RCA – Use RCA
Computer has S-Video and TV has RCA – Use RCA with adaptor
Computer has RCA and TV has S-Video – Use RCA with adaptor

Hp tablet pc has a blank screen

You're first step should be to plug an external monitor to it to make sure the video card still works. In all likelyhood, the video inverter (located behind the bezel for the screen) went bad and needs to be replaced, but it's good to know whether or not the computer itself is still putting out video
