3G modem internal with slot for Satellite A500-12W SIM?

I join this forumn in great frustration because I spent hours online looking for an answer.

I run a Satellite A500-12W with a USB 3G modem, but I do not have this fragile thing that comes out of the computer and occupying one of the only 3 USB ports. Under the battery, there is a slot that says SIM, but it seems to be empty, because it cannot contain a SIM in place.

I don't have a 3g internal modem, I have WIFI capabilities.
Surely, it must be possible to buy a card that goes inside and works the same way as a USB modem?

There is an empty slot next locations of memory which says 3 G/TV and something else, is that place and in that case, what should I buy?

I am eternally grateful for any help, it frustrates me a lot. Thanks in advance.

Hello

Satellite A500-12W does not support the 3G modem and was not equipped with an ability to use the sim card in order to connect to the internet.

The point is that there are different A500 in the market with different hardware configurations.
Perhaps the same notebook chassis has been used and, therefore, you can see this place to a sim card.

However, I'm not sure if you will be able to update this device with a mini-PCI 3 G map... If something like that would be possible, so you can order this part of premises Toshiba ASP...

    Hello

    The laptop has not been handed over with the recovery disk because there is a pre-installed tool called Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
    This software could create the recovery disk that allows the laptop to factory settings still.

    By the way; Satellite A500/02J is an Australian for Toshiba laptop model and drivers must be available on the Australian Toshiba page:

  • Problem with Windows7 upgrade - Satellite A500

    I bought a portable Satellite A500 with Vista 32 bit Home Premium.
    It came with an upgrade to Windows 7, which I completed the process of installation/uninstallation of upgrade Vista Home Premium 32 bit for Windows 7 32 bit on the Toshiba site, before the beginning of the DVD of windows 7 installation process.

    After restarting my computer in step 6, I have a message "new hardware found - base system device" I tried to search c: and I tried the Windows 7 DVD for the specific file searching and can't locate it.

    The installation/uninstallation deleted the drivers to connect to the internet.

    Can't seem to start installing Windows 7 from the DVD.

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Windows 7 ask the driver!
    It s not installed on the C or the DVD of Win 7.

    I assume that you have improved the Vista to Win 7 and installed not cleaning.
    I recommend a clean installation, because Windows 7 would reinstall and will not use the applications that were pre-installed on Vista.
    In many cases these apps are not entirely compatible with Win 7.

    After the clean install of Windows 7, you could install Windows 7 drivers you will find on the pages of Toshiba.

    But Win 7 drivers are not published on Toshiba page European right now
    If you could use a Toshiba page us to get drivers or should check the European page later

  • Is there an internal Bluetooth module for Satellite A300?

    I bought a laptop toshiba Satellite A300, it does not contain a bluetooth module.
    There are several types of modules bluetooth USB, but I don't think they are as practical as the interns.

    If Toshiba does not include internal bluetooth module for Toshiba Satellite A300?

    I know that for the Satellite * Pro * A300, which has the same shape, but is a business model, it is bluetooth module when you buy. Their modules should be compatible with my laptop. But how can I get a?

    : D Akuma asked the model number! Then maybe you should post it instead of the xxx-xxxx ;)

    Generally, it should be possible to upgrade the laptop with internal BT module but as told by Akuma, the laptop must contain the BT antenna in fog you can find it under the keyboard (Brown wire).

    But note; These updates can be done only by the technician of the ASP, because if you remove any parts for your laptop, would cancel you the warranty.

  • Some keys on the keyboard for Satellite A500-025 are strange

    My Toshiba Satellite A500-025 has a keyboard with strange symbols on it. The back key on the right side of the keyboard is also a vertical rectangular key with 2 keys between the key containing the semicolon and the return key which is too far.

    On other Toshiba keyboards I've seen in stores, the return key is a horizontal rectangular key with that one key between the semicolon and the return key. Anyone know why I have this strange configuration on my keyboard?

    Thank you

    To be honest I don't know on which keys you mean exactly, but I think you should consult your dealer and ask what it can be.
    If you want to discuss about it here please make the photo of your keyboard and mark them with red circle, what do you mean exactly.

    I don't know what other Toshiba keyboards you mean but fact is that the Satellite A500 is Toshiba the first laptop with screen 16 delivered with larger keyboard, including the numeric keypad.

  • Re: I spilled my drink on my keyboard for Satellite A500-1GL

    I accidentally spilled a drink on my keyboard of my Toshiba Satellite A500-1GL.
    I turned off the laptop immediately and it dried out.
    It is currently left until I have an answer.

    Note: I spilled the liquid about 1/4 of the keyboard.

    _thank you. _

    Hello

    You should turn the unit upside down and have to wait as the dry reel.
    In the best of cases that the unit should turns correctly but it could be possible that your motherboard or another party as a RAM module or keyboard could be affected.

    Something similar happened to my girlfriend s book. In my case the RAM module was dead and laptop could no longer starts up I have replaced the RAM and was happy to see the Toshiba homepage

  • Satellite A500-12W - turns off

    I have a problem at the moment. I'm playing a game on my A500-12W.

    The game is not not that demanding for this type of laptop, we are talking about the witcher in 2007. After 10 minutes my phone turns off. Looks like to me its overheating but can't really find a reason why. The fan speed is actually blocked about 80-90% all the time if there is almost no programs running. I have a dual core 2, 53GHz, 4 GB of RAM and 1 GB radeon mobility 4600hd in there so I did not thing that the game is too demanding.

    Can anyone help?

    Hello

    The typical recommendation in your case:

    1. clean your computer using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling module that can be clogged and stops the system due to overheating.
    2 Select the maximum Performance in the method of cooling in the high power plan performance.

    And the Bill, check out what the Gpu driver you ' ve installed. It should be a pre-tested Toshiba driver a few changes with protection against overheating.

  • Re: Need drivers Windows Xp for Satellite A500

    Hello

    I bought recently a series of laptop A500 and want to install Windows Xp as second operating system, but I couldn't get the drivers for it. Where can I get them?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Unfortunately. You cannot install Windows xp on your laptop because there is no drivers available for your model. Once, I wanted to also install Windows xp
    but could not find any drivers vga driver, Manager of storage, for example. I advise you to download and install the virtual machine.
    There are some programms for Virtualization:

    Shareware:

    1 Vmware workstation,
    2 Paralel workstation,

    Freeware:

    1 virtual Box
    2 virtual PC

    I love Vmware worksation 7, you can download:
    http://www.VMware.com/downloads/

    Then, you can use the Xp environment inside with Internet

  • Need drivers of Windows XP Home for Satellite A500-15N

    Hey, I got my A500 for almost a year now and I had to downgrade to windows XP, but I cannot find the drivers for it, is there anywhere that I can get them from?

    I checked Toshiba's support page and for this laptop model WXP drivers are not available. This model is not supported for Windows XP Home edition.

    Only chance for you is to use the drivers of models supported, but with the same or similar hardware configuration.
    It will be hard work for this knowledge. You will probably not be able to have full laptop configured but I sure that you will be able to make good hardware configuration with specific stuff missing from Toshiba, but I think that it is not so important to m.

    For example:

    -GM45 chipset driver > you can use THIS
    -display driver ATI M92XT > you can use THIS one
    -driver sound is Realtek ALC272

    If you need to see how find them all.

    Good bye

  • Problem with video card satellite A500-1GH (I think...)

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my A500-1GH. Randomly the screen goes black and then recovers by showing a message "display driver stopped responding and was retrieved successfully." My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 330. I read many things, but all reviews were old - since the beginning of the year and nobody has solved this problem then. Do you know if there is now a solution for this?

    The laptop is brand new (respectively the windows is brand new) and the drivers and bios are up-to-date.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Yes, it is a known problem with the vga driver in this forum. Already, you said it yourself, nobody has solved this problem :( I can just recommend you try to install a vga from nvidia.com driver. In my case, I have NVIDIA Gt 230 M, driver update has solved.
