Continuous P20W to stop satellite touchpad

First post, really disappointed with the Satellite P20W. Barry is mediocre compared to advertising and the resolution means that some applications are blurred.

Anyway, my biggest annoyance and my concern is that the touchpad intermittently stops working no reason what so ever. another user posted the same failure on the US forums by mistake so never found a resolution. He had tried all the drivers and updated bios etc and even returned the first device in the PC world.

I would like to than this to be sorted and keep the laptop, but at this rate I rather just return it and get a brand like ASUS or HP.

Anyone had this problem and found a solution? Have to start touching the screen is not an acceptable solution.

Thank you!

I updated the BIOS from 1,2 to 1,5 and for 5 minutes, so far, the mouse has not frozen. Potentially a solution but time will tell. I will update the forum if something changes. I also realize it is the Satellite RADIUS P20W therefore may be in the wrong category. If an admin can move it, it would be great.

  • Bookmarking without popup "continue where you stopped last time.

    Hey,.

    I've been searching the forums and play with Captivate for a few days to try to find a solution to my problem, but I'm not come with all of the relevant answers.

    I am very little inspired by the look of the Captivate default dialogue window that appears when I return to a lesson. Is the one who asks to "continue where you stopped last time.

    I have seen proposals on how to change the captions and the colors, but I can't find a way to simply turn it off and do the lesson taken from the place where the user left off. I tried to turn off autocontrolee learning, but this disables bookmarking all together.

    I use the latest version of Captivate 9.

    Any help would be grateful.

    Thank you

    They will access via an LMS System. After many hours messing around I think the only options available for me should use the TOC frame that comes with the annoying dialog box, or do not use the table of contents and this should enable the LMS to manipulate the bookmarking and auto recovery here where the user left off.

    Is that what everybody is watching?

    Yes, the touchpad seems sensative v and zoom in and out as and when it feels like it while I'm on the touchpad.

  • My Satellite touchpad does not work

    Hi all

    I bought my Toshiba satellite i5 on 2010-12-26. Unfortunately, he was arrested while working on 02/05/11.
    I went to the repair center and they checked my laptop and said hard drive has been corrupted.
    They took 12 days to fix my laptop.

    I got my phone on Friday and Saturday, its mouse pad does not work.

    Could you please tell what should I do now?

    Thank you
    Concerning

    Mehdi

    Hello

    The touchpad is probably just disabled and so he doesn t work

    Have you tried FN + F9 key combination? With this combination of keys you can enable/disable the touchpad, so I would like to test this.

    If this is not the case, try to reinstall the driver for the touchpad. You can download it from the Web from Toshiba site :)

  • L830 satellite - Touchpad does not work

    Hello

    I have a 16W L830 I bought less than a month ago. Meanwhile, I had a catalog of problems (it crashes 3 - 4 times a day; it took 2 days to install MS Office; etc.).

    For now I'll stick to the more immediately pressing problem: the touchpad stopped working - again. This happened twice before; both times I did a restore of the system for the next day, and that solved the problem.

    Today, however, the restoration of the system did nothing to help with the problem of touch pad. I also tried to repair/upgrade to update driver, but my device manager make sure the driver is up to date and works very well. I tried to re - download the driver from Synaptics site and restart my computer, but it does not work either. It is on the edge of my technical knowledge, so now I'm stumped.

    As you can probably hear I'm pretty fed up with the machine in general and seriously plans to return. It would be good to set the touchpad, at least, I can use it for the next two days, until I have the chance to take in the store.

    Any help you can give would be really appreciated! Thank you
    C

    Hello

    Before the recovery of the laptop, check if the touchpad isn't disabled.
    This should be verified by using the function Fn + F5 (or only F5) button
    In addition you should go to BIOS (F2) and must check if the pointing device is enabled (BIOS-> Advanced-> system-> pointing device Configuration)

    In the case where it would not help, recover the laptop

  • C50-B-140 satellite - touchpad is almost unusable

    We got a c50-b-140 satellite, and the touchpad is almost unusable.

    It keeps freezing sporadically. and is very frustrating to use.
    machine to win 8.

    Someone can advise if this is a known issue, or is there a solution for this?

    Hello

    I m not very well what kind of touchpad of your laptop supports because there are two modules different touchpad: Synaptics and MOMENTUM.

    However, you can check this detail in the Panel? mouse? last tab (button settings)

    If you would like to know what your laptop touchpad supports, visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver download a driver from the touchpad to the touchpad module.

    New pilots Synaptics and MOMENTUM were released a few weeks ago, so its advisable to check the new version of the driver.

  • problem with is msn email to continue to work on the touchpad

    My emails from my msn account sync fine when I first add the account to the touchpad email client. After I close the program and go back to it though it stops syncing new emails. The refresh icon constantly is revolving as well. I tried setting up the account through the auto setup and also through the microsoft exchange and the same thing happens either way. New msn emails show up on my iphone and then I wait and check the touchpad. They never show up. Any ideas?
    

    What is a hotmail.com or live.com account? If so, you must configure the account as account exchange with the settings of the thesis:

    Account type: Exchange

    Name of the server: m.hotmail.com

    User name: your e-mail address

    Password: your password

    Under accounts, choose the items you want to synchronize: Mail, calendar, Contacts, GAL (search for addresses). I delete the account and re-create it fresh.

  • How to stop Satellite L40 - 14N connect to non-preferred networks?

    I'll put up a Satellite L40 - 14N notebook and only want it to be able to connect to a designated wireless LAN router. The network adapter is a Realtek RTL8187B and the laptop runs Windows Vista Edition home premium (v6.0.6000). The machine is currently working on a WLAN with WPA pre-shared key.

    I have read a number of Web pages such as:

    http://ask-Leo.com/how_can_i_block_neighboring_wireless_networks.html

    At halfway on this page, it displays the setting "Automatically connect to non preferred networks" in one of the boxes of properties. In the property fields I see on this machine the I can't find this setting and I don't have a list of options to change the priority of connection or preferred networks.

    Does anyone know if the automatic connection to other networks can be disabled on this computer and if so... How?

    I need the machine for details of a unique WLAN connection and if the network is not present then do not access anything else.

    I noticed the "Connect to a more preferred network if available" parameter in one of the other properties boxes, is this similar?

    Any help much appreciated! :-)

    Pete

    Hello

    "As explained on the website of the 3rd party you should uncheck the option to automatically connect to the non preferred networks.
    You must mark the neighbours WLan and press the properties button.
    Then a new window should open and on the Connections tab, you should * uncheck * the option called + Connect then this network is in range.

  • How to disable the clicking sound on the Satellite touchpad

    I have a problem with the volume of mouse - whenever I hit the key it's like I'm clicking on the mouse and its very noisey.

    How do I turn it off?

    Thank you

    Hello

    Usually, the touchpad does not all sounds.
    I guess you have a USB mouse and sound appears due to the use of this mouse.

    I have no idea what mouse software, it is, but I think you should check the settings within this tool.
    Otherwise, you will need to check the control panel-> mouse
    There are a few options that are available for the mouse and touchpad.

    See you soon

  • Never stop satellite A500D - 11 c - Fan

    Hello
    Sorry for my English, I'm French

    I have a problem with my computer. The fan never cease, and when I go to pc monitor healt, in my view, that is 70% or more, when I do nothing. If I try to play or wath a movie the computer off. I looked for a solution, but I can't find anything for the A500D. I have windows 7 64 bit and the bios is V1.10 and I can't find a new version.

    I need help

    Hi mrlat,

    Are you using preinstalled version Windows from Toshiba or did you do your own installation?

    You should check the BIOS and load the defaults (F9 key)

    In addition, in Windows power management, you can choose between methods of cooling. Choose battery optimized rather maximum Performance. It should work. :)

  • Satellite C660 - 2d 7 continuous fan start-up and stop - is this normal?

    Hello! I have a 'newbie' question, if anyone can help, I would be very grateful :)

    I got a refurbished c660 - 2d 7 Currys yesterday and the fan will continue turning and stopping. Usually too much worry (it's not particularly strong or whatever it is), but as it's a refurb. and I don't know what he was returned for before, I want to make sure it's healthy! It does not warm at all, it is stone-cold to the touch and I don't do anything too tender (a couple of tabs open in google chrome and sometimes a solitaire game), but maybe that's not hot because the fan does its job, hehe! It gives a little quiet snoring then stops every few minutes, what is normal and OK?

    This is my first time owning a computer windows laptop and from what I've seen other people, the fan is usually noisy or not altogether (will not compare to the MacBook since they like mini cookers and little need to operate the fan at the maximum all the time), so I wondered if he was trying to start the fan/fans maximum and default? Is there a utility on it anywhere which will check if the fans are okay? (It came with many Toshiba apps, they have not checked this yet).

    If this is normal, and they do that, that's fine, I just want to fix it as soon as possible if she is sick or must replace fan/fans. Thanks for any advice you can give!

    Edit: Also the hard disk is divided into two equal partitions, is it possible to cancel this easily? It seems unnecessary to have shared it this way when he uses only 8 GB for data recovery!

    Hello

    Yes, it's nothing unusual, that the fan continues to go if a certain level of temperature was approached.
    Alternatively, you can control this behavior a little fan.

    You can change the power of Win 7 to friendly State management settings battery.
    In this case the CPU wouldn't create too much heat, and cooling modules would not go too often.

  • Satellite S50T - How to get rid of the light on the touchpad?

    Hello
    On the topleft of the touchpad light has recently come - I must have hit a button by mistake. I can't find a way to turn it off.

    It's annoying and it also seems to stop the touchpad to work.

    Thank you very much.

    Newbie

    Toshiba Satellite model S50t-A fitted Win8, linking 8.1 win upgrade.

    I assume that you write on the touchpad power witness. It turns white when the touchpad is disabled.
    Double tab on this indicator will allow new touchpad and small light turns off.
