IBM R31 ThinkPad connecting to VISIO flat screen TV

Lower the screen resolution to 720 dpi.

Another issue is the reference to RGB. Is it the 3 cable (YPBPR) or the standard 15 pin VGA? You may need a converter.

Theres no function key lock, just the blue Fn button on the lower left corner of the keyboard.

If you cant get any of the function keys to work and the keyboard just thinks that you are pressing the standard button without pressing Fn, then this could be a fault with the contacts in the Fn key.

To help you troubleshoot your keyboard. I think you need to get a diagnostic utility running to be sure the key is faulty.

 

 

I'm sorry but this is not a warez site...We do not give out activation keys or access codes.

No, that shouldn't be related.

The problem is most likely between the software and the video card and much less likely between the computer and the TV.

Hi,

try connect it with wire, than update. maybe problem is with adapter in thinkpad.

there could be a lose wire to you display card mine gets red lines some times and if i hit the right side a few times it goes away and it works fin after so idk if it will work 4 you but it does for me.

im sure somebody would, if you post the problem first!

Maintenance manuals for both systems are on www.lenovo.com/support, under the publications section. But without looking at it, I would say no, the cables will not work.

Hi,
I don't mean to disagree with my associate, but DVD players for R series (or T, A, etc) can be found for less than 20.00 US (Ebay is a good example)
For that matter, we've got at least a dozen at our shop which we sell for 25.00
Installation is very simple as well, just pop the old drive out, put the new drive in.
Good luck
