Elitebook 8460p and external monitor/projector does not work

[RubAnADUB]

the fix above is for intel graphics drivers. please give it a shot and test yours to confirm. I just happen to work in a company with about 60k + employees and the contract company that gives us their lease machines happen to have a LOT of 8460p laptops in their pool. So this issue has come up for us a lot.

I dont understand how HP could release newer drivers that cause the problem. I am thinking of testing the LATEST ones from intel instead of whats aval on the hp site. Maybe its just an HP issue.

I´ll try it and see what the result will be. I just have to confirm if this is one of those that has any problems. The driver installed is Intel HD Graphics 8.15.10.2342  from 2011.03.25, quite old ones. Don´t know what´s in the current image yet.

Can confirm that we still use the drivers from 2011 and on this PC, it works. So problem solved? I don´t really know.

I work where we have about 80 of these.  I constantly have issues with the projecting to a screen.  Even though the HP site says FN + F4, this DOES NOT work for the ones I have.  We use the 8560w models.  So, the only thing that works for us here - make sure the projector is on, make sure the laptop is off.  Then plug in the VGA cord to the laptop from the projector, or however you are connecting the two.  So,  your projector is on, your laptop is off, but plugged in to the projector through whatever source you have where you are.  Once these steps are completed, then turn on your laptop.  So far, this has NEVER FAILED.  It has always worked for me here.

Thank you RubAnADUB!

Your solution fixed my problem where I tried to use DisplayPort to connect to my ASUS PA279q. With the old Intel Graphics Driver from 2011 this was not working at all! And with this one from 2013 it's working like a charm 🙂

my experience is: put the 15 pin connector in, press windows symbol and p at the same time, (windos is connecting to projejctor) then select duplicate , enter. take out the 15 pin and put it back in, 99 out of a 100 times i see the monitor of the laptop change: it shows black bars at each side of the screen, but the connection to the projector works!
