Activating 8.1 win on a Satellite C55-A-1N8 pre-installed does not work

December 24th, 2013 I bought the laptop with Win 8.1 pre-installed.

Yesterday, I had to use the recovery procedure to reinstall the laptop (long story on apps not working do not)...
Since yesterday, Microsoft constantly asking me to activate Windows 8.1.

When I want to do this in "PC settings", I get the message that this is not possible.
When I click on 'details' to see what the problem is, I get a screen message empty.

Can someone please help?

Thanks in advance,

Rookie.

> Yesterday, I had to use the recovery procedure to reinstall the laptop
How do recover you the laptop?
Did you use HARD drive recovery (reset the PC) or have you used the recovery (disk or memory stick flash) media

Generally it system must be activated by starting the portable system.
Where this is not possible, you can consult this FAQ Toshiba how to do this.

This article describes the procedure to win 8 but his should be similar to Win 8.1
Sometimes the question could be related to a lack of internet connection.

  • Satellite C55-A-16Z - graphics card does not work after BIOS update

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite C55-A-16Z with windows 8 and a Nvidia geforce 740M graphics card.

    Last week he asked me to update the version of the bios at 1.30.
    The bios update was successful.

    However when I restarted my laptop I started having a BSOD dgxkrnl.sys.
    Correction of the error and restarted for an another BSOD Windows, and after the second solution, I stopped making BSOD.
    But now, I noticed its games running, if not use the dedicated card, but use the 4000 Intel.

    In the settings Nvidia dedicated card is configured to be always on.
    It seems that my card is missing, but it appears in Device Manager.
    I tried to delete, update the drivers and the default factory reset, but nothing helped.

    Also, when I go into Options power the Intel card is listed and when I disable the card intel in the Device Manager it starts to use the graphic viewer for windows.

    How can I get my Nvidia card to work again?
    Any help is appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    After the BIOS update the BIOS should be set to default settings.
    You can do it in the BIOS.

    In addition, you mentioned that Windows 8 is still installed on your laptop.
    8.1 to win has already been published by Microsoft and I highly recommend that update you the system of 8 to 8.1 Win Win.

    Before you start the upgrade to 8.1 win, you should check and read the instructions step by step for Toshiba: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    I guess that after the Win 8.1, nVidia graphics card upgrade works well also.

    Your comments would be greatly appreciated.

  • Satellite C55 - Has: F brightness key does not work

    I installed Windows 7 32 bit one (initially OS-free) satellite A-C55-1J9 phone and I can not change the brightness of the screen.
    I installed different versions of the required package value added, but none of them worked.
    Some have not even map the Fn keys correctly on my keypad to the control panel of this utility.

    The latest version I have is the vap-20130916115251. The Fn keys are in the correct order, but do not work F2 - F3.

    What can I do?

    See you soon,.

    > The Fn keys are in the correct order but F2 - F3 do not work.
    Does this mean that ONLY FN + F2 and Fn + F3 don t work but other keys?

    I think that the case that I think that this problem is not related to Windows 7 added value Package
    Have you installed the essential nVidia and the card drivers Intel graphics available for the satellite C55-A-1J9 PSCGCE series?

  • Satellite C55 - Has - 1 L 0 does not start in Windows 8

    Hey guys.
    I hope you can help me a bit.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 - has - 1 L 0 here and it does not start in Windows 8.

    I turn it on, the Toshiba start screen appears, and then I get a message on a black screen saying "media control" (failure) and after a little while "no boot device. Please restart.

    I checked the BiOS and it does not see the hard drive (said HARD drive - no) and even in the boot order list, I don't get a list with the DVD drive with the exact name, but for the HARD drive.
    I tried to do a recocery with the F12 key and get the list to choosw where I want to start but by selecting the disk hard does not work.

    So I thought I'd try a live distribution of linux to see where is my hard drive and back up my data (after some settings in the BIOS - boot CMS mode) but I can't find there too. (I have a file fstab and mtab, it would help if I posted it here?)
    Is my HARD drive broken? Can I try something else?

    Thank you very much!

    You are right. This issue should be fixed by the authorized service provider.
    Furthermore, why do some risk steps to check this problem, if the warranty is valid.
    Warranty will cover the repair costs.

  • Satellite P105 carpet * a dvd player does not work with Win 7

    Greetings,

    I need an upgrade on my dvd to my vintage Satellite P105.
    I want the possible fastest dvd burner right now because I'm a fan of film and keep them in digital memory.

    (1) first should I get an external drive or can I get the best performance with an internal dvd replacement of a reseller of parts or Toshiba?

    The problem is when I've upgraded to windows 7 things have changed. I lost my sound, but that solved using a driver inherited Visa as apparently the sound 'Council' on the laptop is for Vista only. Then I found the dvd player which is a mitsu * an internal UJ-450 does not or is extremely slow in saving films, records or files. The available recording software seems also planned for Vista performance was acceptable. Even the dvd burning software does not work.

    (2) so my question for multimedia specialists is: what should be my next move?

    (3) should I go outside and confront the neck of the bottle USB or

    (4) to make the speed of the bus on the internal dvd?

    (5) given an internal dvd is preferable, because it's exactly a dvd-ram/IDE as it is currently, or some other configuration of bus.

    (6) most importantly, what dvd burner would give me 18 x speed with current programs like ConvertXtoDVD and did as a symbol external or - better - as an internal dvd replacement or my slow drive currently?

    Of course, if you could give me a model number and direct me to the sales it would be much appreciated.

    Thank you in advance.

    > 1) first of all I should go for an external drive or can I get optimal performance with a dvd replacement internal to a coin dealer or Toshiba?

    You should know that not all internal STRANGE machines are compatible. You will need to use a not compatible and supported and such device could be ordered in a local ASP.
    But it s more expensive as an external CD/DVD device so you could also choose an external that would be compatible with all computers and laptops available.

    (> 2) so, my question for multimedia specialists is: what should be my next move?
    As mentioned. Good option would be to buy an external burner drive ODD

    (> 3) should I go outside and confront the neck of the bottle USB or
    External device are compatible with all computers and are less expensive

    (> 4) go to the speed of the bus on the internal dvd?
    If you have the money for an internal device and want to use it with P105 only then you can also choose an internal burner.

    (> 5) because a dvd internal is preferable, because it is exactly a dvd-ram/IDE as it is currently, or some other configuration of bus.
    As far as I know it s an IDE interface, but the device would support setting master or slave or c - salt. As mentioned, you can buy a Toshiba a recommended.

    (> 6) especially, what dvd burner would give me 18 x speed with current programs like ConvertXtoDVD and did as a symbol external or - better - as an internal dvd replacement or my slow drive currently?

  • Satellite A505-s6970: Toshiba Service Station does not work on Windows 7

    Hey guys I need your help,

    I installed windows 7 ultimate on my toshiba Satellite A505 s6970 and I downloaded all the drivers from http://www.csd.toshiba.com/ and I installed all.

    When I open the Device Manager, 3 devices are not installed (Base-2 system device / / 1-Unknown device).
    Then I installed toshiba service station (Windows Vista / 7 32-64 bit because my windows is 64) it will search for and automatically download all necessary devices, but it does not work on windows 7, it worked perfectly in windows vista.

    Also the eco utility does not work, and the media touch buttons work just fine, but without giving that voice tone.

    Thanks for your help

    Hello

    To be honest I have no experience with this tool.
    I m using Tempro.

    However, I guess that Toshiba service station was not tested and not designed for Win 7 at the moment.
    You may need to wait for the next update that works correctly with Windows 7.

    You must understand that the Windows 7 drivers have been released in Beta version, it would mean that the final version would be released in the near future
    In my opinion, you should take a look from time to time on the Toshiba page we.
    I noticed that each new day pilot is released and released.

  • Satellite A350-13 a - function keys does not work

    I have the Satellite A350-13. I installed Windows 7 for 2 weeks.

    The function keys does not work although I have installed the Toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys.

    What the solution to this problem?

    > Function keys does not work although I have installed the toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys

    Next to the VAP (value added package) you need to install the Flash Utility card support!
    Card Flash utility support controls the keys FN and not the VAP! But VAP is also needed.

  • Satellite X 200-219 - the touchpad does not work as it should

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite x 200-219. Had some problems with it that I have overcome now, except one... The touchpad does not work as it should. I think that the cable has been damaged at some point.

    So I'm wondering if I should use the same ribbon cable to connect the keyboard to the motherboard or can I get one of a different model of PC Toshiba laptop?

    I tried searching on the net for advice but have resulted in nothing so thought I would try the forums.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lee

    I think you can use the items to the satellite X 205 series since this seems to be the same series as X 200:
    Found some related parts the touchpad:
    Satellite X 205 / X 200 touchpad Board with cable: reference number: K000047950
    Satellite part number for the TOUCH PAD FFC X 205 / X 200: K000047980

    But why you n t come into contact with a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and order the part necessary and compatible?

  • Satellite Pro R50 - brightness control F3 does not work

    Hello

    I have a R50 Pro Satellite - bought just 1 month ago.

    Suddenly the order of function F3 to control light intensity has stopped working.

    The brightness can down with F2 function but F3 does not work

    F3 in the software and the operating system back to research, but do not work by pulling the brightness setting.

    So I'm stuck with my brightness down as low as it goes.

    I downloaded the latest driver for the feature key and installed, so it isn't that.

    Anyone got any help they can give?

    See you soon

    As a temporary solution, you can change the brightness in the power settings.

  • Satellite NB10T-A-101 - mouse pad does not work

    I have a touch screen for Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A-101, the touch screen works very well but I use mostly the mouse pad I find using the slider easier.

    But recently my guarded cursor freezing for a second or two and then to spend once again, but now the mouse pad seems not working with the left and right click buttons work but not the touchpad.

    I made sure the touchpad is enabled in the mouse settings, so I don't really know what to do now.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
    Thank you

    Hello

    Have Hmm you also checked the FN + F5 key combination?
    This would enable and disable the touchpad as well.

    But from my point of view, it would be possible that the touchpad module is malfunctioning.
    I m thinking about the hardware malfunction because the touchpad buttons work and just touch the touch work area module doesn't correctly.

    Usually, if the touchpad would be handicapped by any software, both; as well as the touch buttons does not work.

  • Satellite A660 - 11 M - brightness adjustment does not work after hibernate

    Sometimes, I find that you use F6, F7 to control brightness does not work. This only seems to happen after a fresh reboot, but after being out of hibernation.

    I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64-bit and using the latest NVidia driver (obtained from toshiba yesterday Web site): 8.16.11.8988

    A way to solve this problem?

    Hello

    From my own experience, I can say that all the FN buttons work perfectly after hibernation, standby, restart, etc.. No problem at all!

    I put t know what is the problem, but in your case would be to reinstall the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards. Two tools to control the FN key functions and can be downloaded from the official page of Toshiba.

    But before you reinstall it, remove older versions first. Then install VAP, restart and finally Flash Cards Support utility.
