Toshiba Projecting Fault A300/L450/C660

[PRicho]

We have purchased Toshiba Laptops for the last few years, A300 L450's and now C660's all seem to suffer from this same problem.

 

When you want to project via FN + F5 the clone option doesn't appear.. no options appear but the default LCD.. like it can't detect the projector. Rebooting always fixes the problem. And we also discovered that if you open PowerDVD or Powerpoint and then goto project it broke.. close the programs it worked! but now even that isn't guaranteed and they have to reboot.

 

Just wonder if anybody else has these laptops and have similar issues

 

Happens with varying model projectors too,

 

Cheers!

We have Dell laptops for the teachers here. All of them have to have the image sent to the projector before a video is played.
