A WiFi just stopped working on my Satellite A300

I bought a Toshiba Satellite A300 (Vista) and it all started very well. The second day my wifi only stop while I was online... just after does not do anything and now I can't turn it on. The touch wifi and FN + F8 is running. Configfree even can see if the wifi button is on or off, but I do not see the wireless connections (theres allows to be 5 - 6 of them where I live... so theres nothing wrong with the router).

I can add that there's no conflict in the wireless card and all drivers are up to date. Is this a hardware problem? What are my opptions here?

It could just be a software problem. Have you recently installed a firewall or Internet Security program? Try to disable them.

If this does not help, run recovery to reinstall Windows to its factory condition, and then try again. If it still does not work, then it might be a problem with the hardware. First, try a BIOS update and the update of the Wifi pilot before you send the laptop to an ASP for repairs.

  • Two small buttons on the side of the switch just stop working - Tecra M5

    I had this problem before too many and I was told that the way to resolve the issue was a recovery CD, which means losing all my DATA and blabla... The problem is that the two very small buttons on the side of the switch just stop working.

    Just as that. They are always connected as when the laptop is on in standby or hibernation mode if you click on them it restart the machine. We tried something with Toshiba technician before and also their repair without success Center (change the purpose of the button, reinstall the program etc...) The only remedy was still a lot of recovery CD and a replacement of the machine, thank you for that. The sentence is still started. It could be a problem as cookies, just a wild guess or anything else.

    Now, nobody knows how to solve this problem, or had the same problem?
    Thank you. Olivier

    You talk about the presentation of Toshiba and Toshiba Assist buttons. Am I wrong?
    It seems that there might be corrupted registry keys or the common modules stopped working.
    Why? I put t know but perhaps I got a solution
    Try reinstalling the common modules.
    First remove it from the Add & Remove programs. Then restart the laptop and install the downloaded again common modules.

    Roll on Notepad and check the label at the bottom of the unit. You will find the name of the laptop!

    > Speakers have stopped working on the Satellite a series
    Open the Device Manager and check if no yellow exclamation point appears. If you can see this yellow sigh perhaps the sound card driver is not installed correctly.

    In addition, please plug the headphones to your laptop and check if you can hear anything through the headphones.

    My printer was working fine yesterday for about half of the day, then all suddenly it just stopped working. After hours of trying to understand this point, I think it may have something to do with the spooler printer not stay and "started"... Tips for troubleshooting or ideas would be appreciated!

    My wireless mouse just stopped working.  I can still use the mousepad however.  I changed the batteries does not.  Then I tried another mouse wireless, and it didn't work either.  What can I do next?

    Buy an inexpensive wired USB mouse for less than $5 and see if it works.  As far as I'm concerned wireless mice are more trouble than they are worth.  YMMV :-)

    Good luck.

    I wanted to say thanks for trying to help figure this point. Believe it or not, it turns out that the culprit was the keyboard itself. Option key was fried. Go figure.

    Hi hope someone can help? I have acrobat pro, 6 have worked well for the past two years but then just stopped working. Have reinstalled but still won't open, ronning windows 7. Help please!  Janice

    Hey janicem42177174,

    Adobe does most support the installation and use of Acrobat 6 because it is a very old version that is not compatible with Windows 7.

    I suggest you to please use the latest version of Acrobat 11.0.10 is perfectly compatible with your operating system with its functions and improved functions.

    You can download a free trial version of 30 days of Acrobat from here:

    Download Adobe Acrobat free trial | Acrobat Professional XI

    Let me know how it goes

    I read a few threads.

    3. uninstall/reinstall "Realtek Wlan adapter"

    Please tell me more.

    Hello

    Before you begin to uninstall or reinstall some Toshiba firmware, I would like to know what Satellite L550D-xxx you exactly.

    The point is that different L550D models were equipped with a different wireless network cards.
    Not quite sure if your have a Realtek Wlan card. It looks like a Realtek LAN card.

    However, you must first check if the wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager.
    In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, you should see LAN and WLan card.
    In the case where the card WLan display correctly (no yellow exclamation) WLan driver installation is not necessary.

    In this case, you should go to the next step: check if you can enable / disable the wireless network adapter using the FN + F8 key combination.
    Where this is not possible, check if other keys FN function.
    Where other keys FN don t work, you must reinstall the software mentioned (Toshiba Value Package added, Flash cards).

    This can be done in the control panel-> programs & features
    After that the two software can be removed, clean the system using CCLeaner.
    Now, you can check the EU Toshiba driver page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp to download the software deleted.
    Installation is easy; Unzip the package and run the installation exe file

    Then you should be able to use the FN + F8
    After that the WiFi network has been successfully activated, go to the network & sharing Center-> manage wireless (left) and click Add to configure the new wireless network

  • Satellite L305-S5919 - keys just stop working

    I have a Satellite L305 - S5919 & first my ESC, Q, 4 keys stopped working.
    I've only had it for 4 months what has happened. Does anyone know why these keys would simply stop working all of a sudden & I could do about it?

    I called Toshiba support & they want back me, but I do not do without my computer so would like to fix it on my own. My keys do not hold or seems broken or anything. They are similar to those of others. OK yesterday my little boys spilled my Mtn dew on my keyboard, where is my space bar. My space bar is stiff so ive been told I can jump off keys & clean under it but looked that up & read you can possibably break if you put a lot of pressure. I can't afford to break it because I don't have any other insurance when I bought in July so I did the 1 year warranty for whats wrong cannot be the way I took it my fault or I have to pay to hget fixed it. Can I jump the SPACEBAR off? & If so, what are the chances of breaking? If I can pop off is their a certain direction, I need to pull up?

    Thanks for reading and any help you can give!

    Hello!

    I can t tell you why this happens with your keys, but don t forget that the keyboard is a mechanical part of the laptop such things can happen at any time. I guess you're not the first person who had such a problem. ;)

    In addition, you can t return only unique keys. If certain keys n t work more, need to replace the entire keyboard. Of course you can do it yourself if you want to go to an ASP but if replace you that you pay for a new keyboard.
    I think that the repair shouldn't t take a lot of time. Normally, the keyboard is replaced in a few minutes. Just talk to the technicians.
