  Got a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 and it get hot in the left side of the touch pad.

  Can some help me?

  Hi atmo.

  Well, I think that some some areas on the laptop are always a bit warmer than other regions. I think that it s according to the hardware parts where is the cooling module and find CPU, graphics card, and chipset.

  You have problems? She is turned off without warning?

  What you can do is try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans:

  I find myself with 2 numbers:

  1. the watch still an "unknown device" Device Manager
  Details of the device shows hardware IDs of ACPI/ENE0200 and * ENE0200
  What is this and where can I find the driver?

  Have you checked the device ID and the unknown device provider? You can check in the properties of the device.
  Maybe it s Bluetooth adapter if your laptop is equipped with such a

  Regarding the WLAN tool, I think you mean ConfigFree. You can download it on the Toshiba site. Maybe the version of Vista also works on Windows 7.

• Black screen after hibernation - Satellite Pro A120 mode

  I have the following on my A120 problem:

  My Satellite Pro A 120 with professional vista crashes after I close the lid.
  The current settings in the power management standby is extended when the lid is closed, but I also tried with the sleep settings.

  After I opened my top once again, black screen appears and restart windows.
  Vista offers a solution online after the accident, but nothing appears as a result of the audit.

  Someone had this problem?
  I would appreciate any kind of advice.

  Hello

  I see you are using Vista on this laptop.
  This laptop has been pre-installed with Windows XP. Am I wrong?

  It would be very interesting to know if the same thing happens with the OS pre-installed Toshiba. Please check this!

  That say these issues can be caused by wrong or not entirely compatible graphics driver or lack of MS patches/fixes.

  I recommend checking out the various graphics and update the operating system drivers to the last State

  Best regards

• Satellite A500 - 138 (PSAM3E) - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello guys.

  I decided to upgrade the HARD drive in my Toshiba A500-138 1 - years, (PSAM3E). Now, I have 400 GB HARD drive and would like to have 1 TB - Toshiba MK1059GSM to be precise. The only thing that prevents me to order it now, is that this HARD drive is 12.5 mm high, while my old 400 GB is 9.5 mm (that you can consider as standard).

  Don't you think it would fit in the A500 chasis? Perhaps someone did a similar upgrade in the past?

  One last thing - Toshiba A500 will be same recognize the HARD drive? I think that 1 - year, laptop should not have a problem with it, but I could be wrong.

  Any help and suggestions would be very appreciated :)

  Kind regards.

  I had the same situation on my old Satellite A300 and I can say that you can use the two HDD. It doesn t matter what the hard top. You can use both of them.

  I assume that you are the first one here on this forum with these updates and it will be nice to hear your personal experience, but I think that the new HARD drive should be recognized correctly on this new model of laptop.

• Black screen on the Satellite A100-712, after Bios Update

  I bought a new Satellite A100-712 and I did a bios upgrade, everything was fine in windows and restart the laptop got it is pasted on the toshiba black screen that appears when you turn on the lapto.

  Any suggestions please, I would be very grateful

  It doesn't sound good. I did the BIOS update on two laptops A100 and everything was OK. Sorry, but I think that you will not be able to do anything alone. I recommend you contact the service authorized in your country as soon as possible.

• Satellite A500-138 - battery gets smaller when it is off

  Hello!

  I recently bought the A500-138 and I noticed that if the computer turns off for more than half a day the battery power is lower.
  For example, after 2 days when the computer does not work at all the battery starts to 88%.

  It it normal or there is a problem with the battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  I n t have any new Satellite A500, but on my Satellite A300, I got the same problem battery gets low when it was off.

  After searching a bit here in the forum, I founded that I disable the Wake-On-LAN feature in the BIOS. In addition, I recommend disabling the function USB Sleep & Charge you can find also in the BIOS.

  It works for you too?

  Good bye

  The same phenomenon occurs on battery or power.

  What model of laptop and operating system are you using?
  Unplug the power plug, remove the dough and press power for 20 seconds.
  After a few minutes only connect the power supply and try to restart your laptop.
  What happens when you do this?

• Black screen on the Satellite A350-122 using Linux Ubuntu

  Hi all

  I have a couple of months it has installed Ubuntu 9.04 (which completely replaces Windows XP) on my Toshiba A350-122 and this worked perfectly, until a recent day.

  One day, after having locked the computer, when I came back the screen was very dark and nothing was visible, except with the help of a powerful light behind. Reboot and remove the battery change nothing.

  * This is the case at the beginning of the boot, and even the Toshiba logo is not visible.
  * However, the system starts normally, and I can see in the darkness of my login prompt.
  * I can also select the BIOS Setup, but the screen is too dark.
  * I have no display on an external device.
  * It was not held after an update of the system.

  The first time it happened, I got it repaired.
  The guy has managed to make the display work and then restored Windows XP.
  They said: ' + Linux is responsible for + "... we cannot do anything more!

  I reinstalled Ubuntu, and it happened again the next day... :-(

  * My questions are :*
  # If it is software issue, don't you think it should work in installation mode?
  # Is it possible to reset the display or video card?
  # How can I find out the type of video and the reference (don't forget: my screen is black)?
  # Someone has an idea to advance?

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  I think it's certainly a Linux software problem because the laptop work correctly using Win XP or Vista preinstalled Toshiba I m right?

  The fact is that Linux is not supported by Toshiba:(et vous ne trouverez pas tous les pilotes compatibles sur la page de Toshiba)
  So you have to pick up on some pages of party 3 drivers needed

  On the black screen issue, I think you should check if you're used to that a graphics driver right maybe an update will help.

• Black screen after startup - Satellite A105-S4334

  It gives me black screen after the display of the logo just after the appearance of the cursor and nothing I can do except hold the button 'Disable' of windows, and then restart again, it shows the menu to make it start in safe mode... network mode... normally or lastest know good windows start...

  When he starts for the second time it works very well, he does it all the time and now I'm reinstalling windows for the 2nd time (factory State) any solution or explanation for that matter?

  Hello

  It is not easy to say why this is happening. Have you standing connected an external device, such as USB, printer or something similar?

• Black screen on startup Satellite A80

  I get a black screen at startup what is the problem and what is the solution for it? It might have something to do with the cold?

  Hi poly

  Please put more details on the problem, because it s not easy to say what has happened without any detailed information. You hear the operation of the HARD disk or fans?
  Switch you to other devices to display, before this problem occurs?
  Unfortunately it FN + F5 key combination doesn't work if the operating system has started so it could be a malfunction of the equipment. I don t think you can solve this problem by yourself. In this case, the only way is to contact the service.

• Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

  Hello.

  I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

  The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

  I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

  I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

  I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

  If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

  I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

  Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

  Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

  Hello

  He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
  I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
  Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

  I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
  You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

  Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
  I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
  So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|
