Impossible to use WLAN on my Satellite 5105-s501

Hello

I just bought this computer.

I don't know if the 5105 s501 is the L series - I can't find any information anywhere, maybe someone could push me in the right direction.

I can't get the wireless to work. I can connect to the internet via a cable, but nowhere in the control panel etc it says anything wireless. FN + f8 does nothing. The intel driver in Device Manager should say something wireless? There is a red light flashing when the wireless is turned on.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Colin

You have of old Satellite 5105-s501.

All you need to know about your old laptop you can find on Toshiba support page > HERE.

Was at first open the Device Manager and check under network adapters if the wireless network card is installed correctly.

    I broke my control key and would like to know where I can buy the key for a control.

    Hello

    Satellite 5105-S501 is a laptop computer to the United States.
    That's why you need to search for drivers on the Toshiba page we:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp?NAV=download

    On this page you can find the drivers for American books. Satellite 5105-S501 is an oldie and why you must choose the option Show all to display all models of laptops.

    Regarding the broken buttons:
    As far as I know it s not possible to buy only a single button. In most cases, you will need to replace the entire keyboard.
    But for more details, you should certainly ask the Toshiba ASP in your country.

    See you soon

  • Satellite 5105-S501 - Bad checksum (rom)

    Hi I have a Satellite 5105-S501.

    When I start it say bad checksum (rom), press F1 to the default settings.

    After I press F1 it says I have to insert systemdisc and press a key.

    What is a systemdisc?

    Can someone please help me solve this problem or I have to hand it get fixed?

    Sincerely

    Peter Hammarstrm

    "Checksum error/omission" may appear for different reasons.

    A question:
    You access the BIOS after pressing F1?

    Generally, this error appears if the CMOS battery is empty. In this case, you must connect to the AC adapter to the laptop and should leave it for about 20 to 48 hours connected to AC power.
    Then try again to access the BIOS and set the defaults.

  • Boot CD does not work with Satellite 5105-S501. What should I do?

    I have big problems with my 5105-S501

    The computer is totally screwed upward, with a little help from some virus evil. Well well, anyway; I thought it would be a good time to format the HD and reinstall the operating system.

    He liked the manual says, put the cd in recovery and applications started. When I choose install, I get the message "bad work". Even thought it was the cd that I got with the computer!

    Tried to format the hard drive manually in the comand prompt, did not work. The hard drive has been used and the computer could not force it out of use.

    Put a XP pro cd in the drive and tried to install that one. I have to choose to delete the current partition to format the HD, then I got the message "system unable to perform the operation requested on the selected partition. This partition contains files of temporary facility that is required to perform the instalation.

    Tried Fdisk, did not work. Same problem as above; the hard drive is in use, so forth and so!

    So guys, I really need help. What happened, and what can I do?

    Concerning

    Hi Peter,.

    I found something that may be interesting for you:

    When you run the recovery cd you get the error message 'bad machine '.

    The CD of Builder/Restore Configuration looks for a specific string of the DMI
    who identifies the model of the computer you are using and compare it
    information on the CD. If these two do not match error
    'machine wrongly' occurs. Your authorized Service provider can Toshiba
    Difficulty an incorrect bios corrupted or empty using a special diagnosis
    tool to rewrite the DMI string.

    If you are certain that you have the correct Configuration generator.
    CD recovery for your computer, then go to your most loved
    Toshiba authorised service provider.

    Maybe he can help you.

  • Impossible to use WLan on Satellite A10 PSA10A

    Hello. I can't get my wifi working. I look in Device Manager and that you have no c no matter what wireless network connection.

    does anyone know if

    Toshiba Satellite A10
    Model PSA10A-3V1KK number
    Serial number: 54059282

    even had a built-in wireless network card.

    There is nothing in the pc card slot. When I turn the communication wireless turn on, the light is not on.

    Hello

    The WLan card is not available or only as an option on some laptops Satellite A10.
    This means that the laptop has been delivered without WLan minPCI card but it could be possible to improve it with the internal wireless Mini-PCI network card!

    Due to your description, I assume that your laptop is ready WLan but the card is not installed, and therefore you cannot connect to any wireless LAN.

    Install the good minPCI card Wlan on this laptop and you will be able to use the WLan ;)

    Wireless network cards compatible minPCI are:
    PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802. 11b)
    -PA3273U-2MPC (802. 11a / b).

  • Impossible to use WLAN on the Qosmio X 300 with installed Win 8

    Hello

    guys I used Windows 8 for 2 months and using my wireless too, but yesterday I turned on my pc and my active Wi - Fi button, but it does not show me anything, that is to say that my Wi - Fi is disabled.

    Help, please

    WIN8 is not always supported, and it is not easy to help with these issues, in particular with specific to Toshiba and utility tools that control the F keys.

    Which Wi - Fi button as you talk? Mechanical WLAN switch or key combination FN + F8 that you must use to toggle WLAN card?

  • Impossible to use ODD on my Satellite A30

    Satellite A30 has lost it's d ' training cannot use drive recovery what I have to buy a new drive or is there a software I can download to get it back?

    Thank you very much

    If you are sure that the drive is faulty at 100% I recommend you exchange it with a new one. After doing this, you can set up your laptop with no problems.

    As much as I know there is no any software that allows you to install OS without using ODD. Recovery image can not be downloaded.

  • Impossible to use OS on my Satellite P10-304

    Hi - I wonder if anyone can help me. I know this is an old laptop, but it's my old favorite and my son use it. I turned it on this morning and it wouldn't load windows (XP) at all. I tried to start in safe mode to do a scan and he began, then everything has gone wrong again and continued to a black screen with white text. What I tried on and outside all day with no luck...

    I have nothing of any importance out there, so I thought I'd try and restore full back to factory settings. I put on disc no.: 1 and it gave me the opportunity to make a full recovery. I've selected this (option 1) and then "continue" after the warning that it will delete everything... then it goes to! " ERROR! "and I have to get out.

    Not too sure where to go from here...

    Any advice would be much appreciated... it has been working well so far, although slow to go.

    It seems that there is a problem with the HARD drive. It probably isn't visible to the BIOS. Can you please he check in the BIOS settings? I really hope that it's because of the defective HARD drive.

  • Satellite 5105-S501 keyboard problem

    After that I replaced my 40 GB hard drive with a 100 GB hard drive (the old frozen drive), I had a lot of problems with my keyboard.
    When I type, I find that the letters 'i' with tab back until a strange moment, the letter 'u' can tab forward, other letters will do other strange things.

    I tried to clean under the keys, but that has not worked. It is very frustrating. (While typing this, the cursor is passed to a word in the first sentence, jumped 3 characters to the left, but also jump at the beginning of the line, really weird).

    All ideas will be highly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you installed the Toshiba Recovery CD?
    This problem appears before replacing the HARD drive?
    Maybe the new HARD drive with the large size has a bad influence on the keyboard.
    I read some messages in the forum, and it seems that sometimes, a new update of the BIOS might resolve these issues.
    Please make sure you use the good BIOS and the correct procedure to upgrade the BIOS.

    The other possibility is that you did something wrong when replacing the HARD drive.

  • Satellite M40X-149: cannot use WLAN to internet connection

    Hi, does anyone have an idea why I can only connect to the internet using my ethernet cable and not the built in wirelless ability of this laptop? If I check the status on the connections Ethernet network that I still have packages sent and received, when I try the road wirless I get only packets sent and received zero. My other laptops do not have the same problem with the same router in the same room.

    Regards, Paul
    [email protected]

    Hi Paul

    In my opinion, you should first of all control the functionality of your wireless adapter. If you are able to see your local WLAN card works properly. In this case this problem may be due to wrong settings.

    Do you use WLAN WXP parameters or a WIFI client?

  • Satellite L500-19Z - cannot use WLan because the driver has been removed

    I accidentally uninstalled REALTEK WLAN driver and now I can't use the wireless installation.
    I tried to use system restore to recover before the uninstall, but the system restore won't restore (tells me that anti-virus prevents it probably, but I stopped my loading anti-virus, so this isn't the problem).

    I then allowed Windows 7 to find the material and it re-installed the driver, but I still can't use WLAN.
    Anyone got advice to help me get out of the mess I made for myself?

    Hello

    To my knowledge, this laptop supports the Realtek RTL8191SE WLan card 802.11bgn.
    You can find the Wlan driver here:

    I think that it shouldn't be a big problem to get this working again ;)

    Where to buy, to replace him.
    What should I do? What can I do? I got into the habit of my Toshiba already and can't get along without him.

    Need me an another 512 MB of RAM.
    Everything else - satisfies me.
    Really, truly yours, with kind regards and best wishes.
