  OS: Windows 7 64-bit [pre-installed]

  I think that its not big problem for Toshiba co.  :)

  Hi mate

  I think that it is a nuisance driver in most cases not entirely compatible graphics cards drivers are the reason why games dishes t working correctly.

  What to say; I think that the update of the driver is the key
  You will need to find a good driver version
  Toshiba pilot European page you can find the latest drivers published by Toshiba
  But this does not mean that these are the most recent drivers released by nVidia or ATI
  nVidia or ATI drivers are always different

  In order to check the drivers from nVidia page too.
  You can also try the version published on the Web site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com
  But note; These are not tested drivers and use is at your own risk!

  Hi Storm2005,

  A 64-bit Windows 7 preinstalled on this notebook or install it yourself?

  In my opinion, you should check the cooling options in Windows power management. Make sure that it s set for maximum Performance. This means that your laptop will be cooled as much as possible.

  I put t know how long you have this laptop already but maybe that cleaning is also an option.

• Satellite A500-19U - non-active multimedia keys

  I want readers to Satellite A500-19U. The page have error.
  The keys of the light by the media are not active

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think you should check the Toshiba page again. Maybe new drivers has been downloaded and so the page wasn't available for a few minutes.
  Check again!

  Furthermore, you shouldn't t choose a BONE, only the model number. For me it worked!

  About the light of multimedia keys, you need the added value package. Install it and then it should work.

• Why the fan of my Satellite A500-19W of bizarre acts?

  I bought this computer a week ago. I have Windows 7 64 bit. When I surf the net or watch a movie or listen to music the fan starts for 2 minutes, stop for 2 minutes again. It's a cycle that never ends, and the sound of it that bothers me, making me think that something is wrong. The computer is not hot with the exception of the evacuation zone. It cannot be filled with dust because it's brand new. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

  Hello

  My satellite that a500 is also like that, even if I surf the Internet, watch movie and CPU shows only 5%. I don't play all the games. It didn't because of the dust because I clean it regularly, installed all the drivers, BIOS updated. For the most part, I always run in energy saving mode but fact noise.
  The only way to make it quieter to run the fan at a constant speed as 54%, I simply load the CPU with some applications that keeps the fan runs almost everytime and no perceptible noise

  Any solution guys:(heures départ à me déteste:()

  Hey Buddy,

  This occurs only on the games or the windows too?

  Are you running the factory settings or did you do your own installation of Windows?

  Maybe that's a problem with the display driver. You must reinstall the latest driver from the Toshiba page. Don t use the nVidia drivers because they are not pre-tested:

• Satellite A500 - how to reinstall the original Windows 7?

  Hello

  I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500-19U and Windows 7. I tried to create a new partition, then I've done assets so he hid, after restarting the laptop, I had a black screen and massage (bootmgr is missing)

  So I installed another copy of Windows 7 just to connect to my computer. Then after the copy of Windows 7 installation I made inactive D if it appeared there is file recovery. So my question is: as long as I have this file I want to reinstall the original Windows 7 I have in the drive hard, but how?

  When I press F and repair, then it does not give the last option of HARD drive recovery! Why and I have the recovery file?

  Please help me

  Hello

  I guess you didn't read the manual user, first of all. I m right? ;)

  Well, normally HARD drive recovery you can start if you go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. After that, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.

  But I guess that this isn't possible anymore because you have installed another copy of Windows 7. If this menu isn't available anymore.

  The only option to restore factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Did you create it? This can be through with preinstalled creative drive recovery Toshiba but if you didn t create it, it s too late now, too.

  The only option now is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly. So take a look in your user manual.

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite A500-1E4 (PSAR9E) - noisy fan stops is never (BIOS version 1.60)

  Hello from the Czech Republic, I have also problem with noisy fan on my new Satellite A500-1E4 (PSAR9E) (i430M, GT330M) on 64-bit Windows 7 over Office Standard - see http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=46719&start=165&tstart=0.

  Today I have updated the bios to 1.60 (from 1.20) and there has been no change. When the laptop powered to the top of the adapter in all modes the fan is running at 60-70% (sometimes at 90% - my office is perhaps quieter :-(). What laptop power battery in normal fashion fan and high performance race to 60-70% (loud sound) and in the economy mode to 80% (very noisy). It's crazy that in economic mode produce more noise than mode high performance. The CPU temperature is cca. 37-43 C, GPU 48-57. Fans of course never stops and all it's standart office. No intensive work or games. I can't imagine in games.

  Can someone help me please, I'm really helpless. Or this fixes only bios 1.30 and next version not?

  Hey Buddy,

  I think that it of really difficult to say why this happens, but in my opinion you should provide more details about your operating system and drivers.
  Are you running the Toshiba factory settings or you have installed another OS?
  Fan sometimes high activity is due to a different display driver. Have you installed the latest display driver form Toshiba (NOT nvidia)?

  Old BIOS versions, you can get an authorized service provider

• Satellite A500 - 17 X - Fan has stopped working and the warning message

  As the title says.

  I turned on my laptop today to hear him roar, and then it is simply stopped. I get this warning on every 20-30 seconds:
  WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service.

  Instead of saying "then put it back in service," I can do to try to fix myself first?

  Thanks in advance

  Hey Buddy,

• Satellite A500 - fans never stops

  Hello

  I did some experiments with methods of cooling of vista...

  First of all, when I start my satellite A500, something like three minutes before the fan to start very quickly.
  When I opened the Toshiba PC Health monitor, temperatures never exceed 40 ° C, but the fan runs at 70%
  Then temperatures decline to something like 35 ° C, but the fan never cease!

  It's exactly the same with the two methods of cooling of the vista power management or the difference is really subtle.

  But a strange thing is when I change the method's cooling performance to economy of execution while the fan is running, then it stops! And it starts again only when the CPU start to become warmer. But again, it remains always under 40 ° C. I think that's not so hot... and the fan noise is annoying when I want to have quiet little.

  So in my opinion, there is a problem.
  If I could change the settings in the economy mode, I would reduce the speed of the fan and I would like to raise the temperature when the fan should start. And when the temperature decreases the fan should stop or slow down to become quieter...

  Thank you for your attention and sorry for my bad English ^^

  Hello

  You said that the fans run at 70%
  This would mean that the cooling modules run with maximum performance, if the temperature remains at the lower level. and that means that the cooling system control module working properly.

  Also you talk about the temperature of the CPU. But there are additional devices such as GPU and HDD that creates the heat dissipation.
  This means that the internal temperature would be different from the temperature of the CPU... possiby is higher...
  That could be one of the reasons why the cooling modules don't stop and run with lower performance.

  However, you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If the most recent version was released then it s recommended to update the BIOS.

  See you soon

• Dead by Satellite A500-1pj after involuntary Bios Update

  Hello world

  A friend of mine bought a new PC laptop toshiba Satellite A500-1pj a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64-bit pre-installed.
  Also preinstalled: support software toshiba who - correctly - configured search automatically and installs updates and critical fixes.

  Last Sunday this wonderful software recommended an update 'critical' to my friend - she's no expert but a user experienced who can make the difference between an update of the bios (and avoid this!) and a security patch, she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.

  Sure, she gave permission to an update of the bios being installed. During the process of updating the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely gone. Does not display without fan, simply nothing.

  Hotline support Toshiba told him that his cell two weeks old is not under warranty because this warranty does not cover software 'problems and the Bios updates are software upgrades.

  The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...

  My questions:

  (1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1pj (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) fitted to a phoenix UEFI bios (bios toshiba/phoenix, 1.1.26 update tool is pretty radical - no warning at all! he tried to update me my computer dell laptop, lucky!).
  I found some posts on older machines that can be reflashed using a usb disk, hot spare bios back and a combination of keys (Fn + B or Fn + F...). is it possible to do this with a UEFI bios too?

  (2) anyone out there have the same problem?

  (3) any chance of toshiba help us with that issue and prevent others from making the same mistake to understand at least a warning in their bios updates?

  Thanks for your help!

  Tony

  > The company repair says a repair will very probably equal to buy a new laptop so here we are...
  I doubt that
  I think that the module ROM BIOS was flashed incorrectly (don't know why) and therefore you can not start the laptop.
  This can happen for different reasons, maybe that the update process was interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc.

  In order to solve this problem, the ROM module must be flashed again using a special crisis disk BIOS... that's all.

  The update of the BIOS is always a sensitive procedure but if everything was done correctly, then update the BIOS must successfully complete.

  I found this very interesting and useful to Toshiba and HowTo doc correctly updated the BIOS!
