• FN + F5 has suddenly stopped working on Satellite a series

  A week ago my Fn + F5 shortcut suddenly stopped showing any alternative display. Now all I have is an option: LCD screen.
  Since then, I tried everything I can think of: Boot with S-video cable connected
  Updated to the latest NVidia Go drivers
  Update Bios
  (always fully patched on windows update)
  There is no settings BIOS for S-video.

  I tried to force the external display in the NVidia control panel with no luck.
  I noticed about a week there is a update from Toshiba came via windows update - update of the ACPI. I tried to roll back the driver and that didn't make any difference either. There is no option to uninstall this update, that I had to go into system and search for the item under system devices and reduce.

  I can only think that windows this or another day it was fact, that there are no other relevant updates. Just malicious tool updated.

  This leads me around the bend. If anyone has had this problem or knows how to solve? I can't watch anything on my TV more and I'd rather not a factory re - install.

  Hello

  Without clean OS install, it will be problematic to find out why this happen. We can only speculate here, but it's not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem. AFAIK more switch options are available if mobile recognizes that some external device is connected.
  Obviously external peripheral is not recognized correctly.

  It will be interesting to know what model of laptop you have. Have you tried FN + F5 option and an external monitor connected to the VGA port?

• Microphone has stopped working - HELP, please!

  Hello.

  My plug-in headset and regular lapel microphone suddenly stopped working.  It was working before and I know that my helmet or conventional microphone are not broken.

  I noticed this problem when I would go to a Voice Chat room and trying to talk into the microphone, the volume bar would move only a little bit and not much.

  I checked all my settings of volume and nothing is low in the volume bar of the Realtek High Definition Audio, or the DD Realtek Audio Manager.  Everything is fine and when I lifted up the microphone, he is selected by default and indicates that it works correctly, but the sound does not come through.

  I am running Windows Vista Home Premium, my helmet is called Dynex, my plug in microphones are called Plantronics and the other on my Logitech webcam.  Help, please.

  ~ Marynonimous

  P.S. I also went to my menu of BIOS and changed my setting audio on-board car Enabled to disabled, and then back to Enabled, and this still does not work.

  P.P.S. My speakers work fine.  I hear people speaking from the voice chat rooms and hear the sounds of my computer.  I hear them on my helmet and my speakers when I unplug my headphones, so my speakers are absolutely perfect.

  Well, I don't have the connected headset on the helmet correctly.  I fixed it.  Thank you.  I'm sorry.  Thank you.  God bless you all.  Love and prayers to Jesus.

• Satellite L300 - Built In webcam suddenly stopped working

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 with a built-in USB 2.0 camera and a windows operating system 7, the camera suddenly stopped working for about 2-3 weeks ago with unknown reason!

  I tried the system restore, uninstall and reinstall the camera driver, preformed a complete analysis by kaspersky internet antivirus 2012 (updated) and I also ran a complete system and drivers troubleshooting... and the problem persists...

  When I use windows live movie maker it gives me an error saying: can t record audio or video of the selected camera. Make sure that the device you are trying to use is properly installed and not currently in use by another program.

  The microphone works well on Skype, but the camera does not open!
  Please tell me how to solve this problem, what missing am me?

  Some users here in the forum have reported a webcam problem and the reason for this was a loser between the cam module and the motherboard connection.
  The webcam is connected to a USB controller on the motherboard.

• Satellite NB10T-to-10F - webcam suddenly stopped working

  Hello
  I got the laptop TOSHIBA SATELLITE NB10T-A-10F
  The web cam has suddenly stopped working
  I tried
  Updated bios even without result
  Here is the picture of Device Manager

  In various cases, the webcam can be enabled and disabled in the BIOS
  This option would typically appear in the BIOS under: Advanced-> System Configuration
  Please check this box.

  Otherwise, you need to know also that the webcam driver installation isn't necessary if you use the system Win 8 or 8.1 win because such driver is already part of the system.

  If the BIOS does not have the power option webcam (Advanced-> System Configuration) I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to the factory to check settings if possible hardware malfunction would be responsible for this issue.

• Internal speakers Satellite C640 suddenly stopped working

  Hi friends,

  My satellite c640, internal speakers suddenly stopped working but works fine when the headphones or external sources are connected
  Is this a hardware problem?

  I m using win 7 64 bit and I tried to install the drivers but seems to be a hardware problem

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I don't know if it is a hardware issue of m.
  You may need to check certain settings.

  In Control Panel-> sound-> the Read tab.
  You should see the speakers selected as the default device.
  You can also click these speakers to the right and you should see a few options:
  Speaker Setup
  test
  Disable
  and so on.

  Test the speaker first. In my case, a short tone is displayed. You can also mark the speaker and click the properties button. You will see a second window with tabs. Check the second tab called LEVEL. Here, you can change the sound level.

  What happen exactly when you try to reinstall the sound driver? You get errors?

• Satellite Pro L870 - Touch-pad suddenly stopped working

  Hi - the touchpad on my Satellite Pro L870 - 18G (Windows 8) has suddenly stopped working (after less than 2 months use of)-which makes the phone rather difficult to use. There is nothing wrong with the driver - according to the Device Manager, but I tried to reinstall when even (did not help).
  These things are not normally suddenly?

  Why device manager says that there is no problem when there is a very clear?

  Maybe the touchpad is disabled. Is there a any reaction when you use the FN + F5 key combination?

• Satellite L50Dt - A - touchpad suddenly stopped working

  Hello
  I'm not a part of L50Dt-A Satellite. PSKM2A. It is running Windows 8.1.

  Last night the touchpad suddenly stopped not working, no cursor on the screen.
  The little mouse on the touchpad indicator has not been and is not yet lit.
  So I pressed the Fn + F5 key so many times, but that didn't work back.

  I went to the mouse properties in Control Panel, and under the hardware, it is listed.
  In Device Manager, there is nothing under the mouse either.
  I went to the site of Toshiba and downloaded the driver for the touchpad.

  However, on installation, it says that this is impossible because the computer already has one.
  I need to uninstall and reinstall.
  However, I don't find the touchpad synaptics original anywhere to uninstall driver.

  Everything is updated via windows update and I ran the troubleshooting tools and that you have restarted, and so far, nothing has worked.

  I plugged in an external mouse so I can use it.
  But I'd like my touchpad mouse works again.

  Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  > Yesterday the touch pad suddenly stopped working...
  I ve never been faced with this problem, but try first to make back the OS to an earlier time using system restore just to see what will happen.

  In this whole thing that it is confusing that touchpad isn't listed in the Manager under the mouse devices and other pointing devices.

• Satellite A350-20s - built-in microphone has stopped working

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me? My mic has suddenly stopped working. I was away for two weeks and when I tried to use the microphone it no longer works. It was working perfectly before.

  When I go into Control Panel and watch settings for the microphone, he said his assets. I also installed the volume on the microphone and checked if everything is muted. But as far as I could see everything fine.

  If I test the microphone the sound bar still gray and the microphone is not any sound recording. I tried a few of the instructions I found online, but nothing helped.
  I mainly use the microphone on web with Skype calls.

  It is a very frustrating problem. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  The built-in microphone is the webcam and is a part of it. Which means it would be recommended to reinstall the driver for the webcam. You can download the driver for the webcam on Toshiba website for your laptop.

  Can send you additional information about your operating system? You use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba or did you do your own installation of Windows?

• Satellite L850 - webcam suddenly stopped working

  The web cam on my Satellite L850 has suddenly stopped working.

  It does not appear in Device Manager;
  I downloaded the latest driver on the Toshiba site;
  I checked the BIOS and the web cam is turned on;
  Always when I open the web cam application I get the following message:

  "webcam initialization failed Please restart request and camera control.

  I scoured the advice forum and short of a return to the top and reboot disk HARD, I find no reasonable answer. I can't back up as I am away from home is out of the question. I need web conference call cam / call my family to the United Kingdom back.

  Tired of going round in circles and getting nowhere.

  Any suggestions?

  Even if you have not changed the settings in the BIOS, you must Access the BIOS to make sure that the webcam is turned on it!

  I also recommend the suite of this workaround:
  Uninstall the webcam software
  Uninstall the VAP
  Uninstall all software needed the webcam (Skype, etc...)
  Now, restart and install CCLeaner (cleaning of freeware software)
  Reboot once more.
  Run CCleaner and clean the system and the registry.
  Reset
  Now follow with installation of VAP
  Reset
  Install the webcam software
  Reset
  Test webcam.

  Good luck

• Satellite C650 - sound suddenly stopped working

  Hello.

  I bought this laptop the month last November.
  in any case, around a week or two ago, the noise suddenly would not work.

  He started making strange noises when I put in the headphones and speakers just made no noise at all never.
  I did a lot of weird things - like system restore, reinstall audio drivers but nothing worked until I updated the bios, then everything went well and the sound worked again.

  However, today, the sound suddenly stopped working again. I tried to re - install the current bios but InsydeFlash says: "the version of the ROM file is the same BIOS version" and just closes.

  I searched the internet for an older version of the bios, but when I try to install it, InsydeFlash said: 'the version of the ROM file is not newer than the version of the BIOS' and of course, I know that but then it closes too!

  I'm not really good at computers or anything, any help at all would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I recommend checking some options first;
  -check if mute is not activated
  -check if all the volume controls are set to a higher value
  -check if the sound using headphones

  If this is not successful, you must reinstall the audio driver.
  First go to Device Manager and uninstall the audio driver. Restart the device
  Download the audio driver from the Toshiba page, then reinstall it. Reboot once again and test the sound.

• Satellite L300 suddenly stopped working - new motherboard needed

  My L300 Sat suddenly stopped working the other day.

  It kept freezing, then nothing. So I kill disked the HARD drive and tried to re - install Windows (XP).
  During the installation, he threw a message that some internal components had been installed incorrectly and has to be reinstalled.
  I was told to remove the memory cards and reposition the.

  It does not work. I thought that maybe the HARD drive was damaged, so I set up a new and started to reinstall Windows.
  Once again, same message. One of my colleagues at work suggested that the motherboard was probably U/S.

  So I've been trawling .net to find a replacement. Laptop computer out of warranty! I am told that some other mothers numbered series will work with this laptop. I really want to get a motherboard to find sound never go to work! My unit has a number of SPS to: V000138330.
  I am one with an SPS of offered: V000138390.

  Any ideas? This one will work?
  And if this is the case, it will give me the feature I used to enjoy?
  Sorry for the long history of sobbing.

  All the advice accepted with gratitude.

  ANDY-N

  Hello Andy

  Sorry, but can you tell us more about your laptop? What model do you have exactly (L300-xxx)?
  You have the European model?
  At your warranty valid for laptop?
  Maybe I've misunderstood something, but why you want to swap motherboard if the warranty is probably still valid?

• Satellite L40 - 12K - BIOS update failure

  Hi people,

  It is the second Toshiba laptop, I've managed to screw up. I don't know why, but it seems that Toshiba is especially prone to spectacular failure of BIOS.

  This laptop (Satellite L40 - 12K, short model PSL40E) has a bios made by FRIEND and Toshiba has an update on its Web site for windows that uses the tool of WinFlash.exe made by ASUS.

  The tool only works for 32-bit operating systems, and I had installed a 64-bit version of Windows, I could not pass the laptop.

  Then I thought: we will try to update the bios from MS-DOS, using a bootable flash drive!

  I went to the ASUS ftp site and downloaded the latest AFUDOS (2.41). This is a special version of the afudos FRIEND tool, specially designed for ASUS.

  I ran the tool under MS-DOS, and it will make sure the BIOS automatically confirmed that the binary file was compatible with the laptop model and automatically starts the process of flashing.

  But it crash in the phase of "flash erase". He was stuck there for HOURS, so I turned off the computer and tried to turn it back on.

  Not at all, the laptop won't turn. It does not even ANY SOUND. NO LIGHTS, NO NOISE, NO FAN, NOTHING.

  ABSOLUTELY AND COMPLETELY DEAD.

  So, there you have it. I have flashed dozens of computers (servers, laptops, workstations, etc.) in my life, and I've only had TWO failures.

  TWO of them were with Toshiba laptops. Geez, Toshiba is really the King of the failures of BIOS flashing!

  Hello

  I would never try update the Toshiba BIOS with a BIOS from other support pages for computer laptop manufacturer
  What to say; I found one from Toshiba victory of the BIOS and traditional BIOS Toshiba U.S. driver page:

  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com

  Maybe you could try to Flash the BIOS using this version of BIOS
  If this is not possible, then only a service provider authorized Toshiba would be able to help you.

  By the way: I've had three different Toshiba notebooks: A210, U400, and now Tecra A11.
  The BIOS update has worked perfect for all series...

• Webcam & microphone will not work on Satellite C660

  My webcam and microphone have recently stopped working. Satellite C660-1F1 model.

  If someone could help me sort what would be great.

  After reading this description of problem a single sentence, it is not easy to tell when he is the problem.
  We don t know what can be the reason for this.

  Have you done all that can be responsible for this problem?

  Try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore option. Maybe this will help.
