Hi,

Try lowering your laptop's screen resolution and refresh rates to the lowest possible.

Additionally, you need to press Fn + F? keys on the laptop to cycle on laptop display, laptop display + external; display, external display.

Hope this be of initial help/idea. Pls post back how things turned up or should you need additional information.

Good luck and kind regards.

Thank you for using FixYa.

Open the file and cick save as. In the window that opens, select the external drive in the list.
or, right click the file and click copy. Open the external drive in my computer and click paste.

Check external monitor settings on Fijitsu.

Most Windows versions:
Go to the diskmanagement (run compmgmt.msc) option Disk management.
Locate the drive and add a driveletter.
If the drive is not shown in the list, you need to check your USB drivers or connectors.

It the problem that it doesn't connect or that you can connect it but you get no display on your Samsung LCD? Assuming it's the latter, adjust your screen resolution down to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 on your laptop. It's possible that your laptop resolution settings are too high for the LCD to interpret. Also, don't forget that you have to TELL the laptop to redirect it's video output to the LCD. There are usually three options on any laptop, 1. is laptop screen only, 2. is the external device (in your case the LCD), 3. is both the laptop and external device. These output is usually directed by pressing a function key (Fn) and a number key on the laptop. Look for the icon that shows two monitor screens with a ' as a separator.

If the device doesn't show up in Mac System Profiler at all or as an unknown device:
The symptoms indicate there is a problem with the drive, how it is connected, or with the computer used for troubleshooting. The next best step is to change physical variables, and find a simpler problem than a broken product.

• Change the data cable (USB, FireWire, Ethernet, etc.) A failure in the cable can cause this issue.
• Change the external power supply or cable. If possible, obtain another power cabling to see if the problem is in that component. On drives that are powered via USB or Firewire, try using the included power sharing cable and connect it to another port.
• Change the computer you are using. Computer problems can manifest themselves in many ways. Even if the computer appears to be working properly, this is a worthwhile test. Try it on a friend's computer and see if it works fine.

If the tests above don't help, it's possible that the drive was either dropped while running, had a hard drive 'head crash' or the circuitry inside the drive is fried.
Hope this helps!

Hello,

Connect the external drive to another computer and observe if it's going to work perfectly on that computer.

Which ever the case may be, here is what you need to do on your computer;

Insert the external drive into your computer

Go to device manager.

Go to the name of the external drive.

Right click on the external drive and click 'Uninstall"

Allow the external drive uninstall from your computer.

If possible uninstall every other device under the "Universal serial bus controller (usb).

Once this is done, disconnect/remove the external drive from your computer.

Restart your computer.

Wait a while for the computer to boot computer. Also whatever you have uninstalled from the device manager, might install automatically. Which ever the case maybe, make sure your computer has finished booting or installing any device before you attempt to insert the external drive into the usb.

Now insert the external drive and wait for the computer to install the external drive, then observe if it will open this time around.

By now it should open. But if it doesn't open, please let me know so that I may direct you further on what next to do.

I wish you good luck.

Regards.

Hi ludovicungur,


If your device is blinking fast then it means the problem could be that your are using an incorrect mode of connection for e.g. a USB extension cord , or a USB hub to connect your external HDD.

I would suggests you to remove any external cable or USB hub and then connect the hdd directly to the port on *********** board ,if possible try changing ports and it should work.

Hope this helps ..:)

as far as the monitor goes you can try to connect an external monitor to the laptop to see if the pix comes up...if so bad monitor in the laptop...if not then the video driver may be bad or need update...the battery should have 2 tabs that you can slide(they may have a lock symbol on them) and they are underneath the unit...after you unlock the slides then the battery should just slide out
