• Portege R600 - the noise of the FAN

  The system is a Portege R600-102.

  When it was new, it was already noted that the CPU fan was unusually noisy when he started.
  Loaded with the latest drivers and BIOS, system becomes louder, especially now when its warmer outside.
  Fan and fan duct has been cleaned, no problem of dust.

  Does anyone else have this problem or noticed this behavior?

  Thanks in advance for any advice.

  You can reduce the activity fan and noise by changing the settings in energy of Toshiba.
  Please open and edit the parameters of the method of cooling. Upgrade the lowest.

  I do the same on my laptop and now runs a lot quieter.

  BTW: what operating system do you use?

• Portege R600 - white noise problem

  My Toshiba Portege R600-102 a constant white noise (as you can hear on http://bit.ly/7HaRfn), which becomes apparent when the computer is used with headphones or connected to a speaker.

  This happens with the latest audio drivers under Windows XP and Windows 7.

  The noise does not disappear when I turn off the microphone or disable the onboard sound of the Device Manager.

  In fact, when I connect the laptop to a PA system pro (Edirol UA-101 with Yamaha MSP5) via USB, I get the same noise from Yamaha! That tells me that there is probably a fundamental problem with the motherboard.

  Someone has a similar problem? Or ideas?

  Does this happen with and without mains?

• Portege R600 - Windows 7 switch backlight does not

  I have a new Portege R600, comes with Windows 7 32 bit and the switch on / off for the backlight does not work.
  I installed the new VFR package, until I uninstalled the old. Also the latest version of the Bios.

  Use the support Toshiba button and placed in the file backlight.exe, still does not work. If I tap the backlight.exe file manually, it works.
  It is not a problem of material, as told in the hard drive of my old R600 with XP Professional and works of button.

  What can I do?
  Toshiba support is not able to help, to talk about the new facility, but is the original unchanged.
  Maybe in the button holder, I put in an option in the empty file?

  > Switch on / off the backlight does not work.
  AFAIK some BIOS versions contains the additional option to enable and disable the lighting.
  Please check if the lighting is not disabled in the BIOS.

  I also searched this forum for some tips and found this thread:

• Portege R600-13Z - Toshiba utility SMS - slow / stop when the SIM is in!

  Hello

  Portege R600-13Z running XP Pro.

  Recently updated the firmware and the Wireless Manager to try to get 3g / GPRS comms to work at all. Updated worked a treat and have now great comms.

  Utility of SMS does not work too well if. Very, very slow or crashes.

  Wierdness: out the SIM card to use the phone to send a few texts and with the SIM on SMS utility works very well (!) starts, allows composition, everything except the real /sending/ of the text, which is of course not possible because the SIM card is somewhere else.

  Anyone encountered this problem, and is there a solution?

  Thank you very much

  > took out the SIM card to use the phone to send a few texts and with the card SIM SMS utility works great
  If you noticed delays in using DMD utility only with the inserted SIM card?

  Hmm I m not very well why this happens, but I know it s not recommended to insert the SIM card if the system is already running.
  You must shut down the laptop, must insert the SIM card and then you should power the device in place.
  Then you could test this once more.

• Portege R600 of fingerprint problem: error: could not open the specified database

  Hello

  I am trying to give the registration of fingerprints for my Toshiba Portege R600-101 and I get the above error.
  I tried also on windows XP and Vista.

  Has anyone with the same problem or anyone suggesting a solution?

  I uninstalled the truesuite Access Manager but still the same problem.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  I noticed a new update for software fingerprinting for protected R600.
  Remove the old application of fingerprints, restart the laptop, clean the registry and the system using a 3rd party too (CCLeaner is free and not bad).
  Then reboot again.

  Download the fingerprint on the page of the European driver Toshiba Software and install again.

• Portege R600 - performance SSD limited by SATA 1.0

  Hello

  I have improved my Portege R600 - 13 X replace SSD HARD drive (Sandisk Ultra Plus / SATA 3.0)
  This laptop has the Intel® GS45 Express chipset supporting should SATA 2.0, but I can't reach 1.5 Gb/s transfer rate. I've updated everything as I could, including the BIOS - that does not show even any option that would for example switching between modes SATA...

  Is there anyone with a SSD R600 and get better results?
  I only failed to update the chipset installation ends with an error and suggests that there is something not quite right

  Hello

  Have you checked the BIOS for the SATA mode option settings?

  Some BIOS supports a SATA mode: AHCI and compatible.
  In case you want to use the SATA performance, you must use the AHCI parameter.

  AFAIK the external eSATA port supports the 300 MB/s and in the BIOS must be set to serial ATA (default) port4.

  The interface of the host load max 300 MB/s but sustained data read would be max 100 MB/s and 40 MB/s max sustained data write

• Portege R600 - issue of SSD upgrade

  I have a R600 10 q and I am interested to put an SSD in to replace aging / slow HDD have had a look at what others have said and there seems to be some compatibility issues.

  We know if these have been fixed with the new BIOS updates? or is there a list of compatible drives?
  Have a been a success with a particular model?

  Thanks for the help
  Tim

  I agree with Akuma.
  The use of SSD drive should not be a big problem.
  If something does not work, try to update the firmware of SSD drive for the last s.
  In most cases, this action has resolved most of the problems

  Since the Portege R600 supports a SATA controller, the SSD drive should support the same standard of controller.

  Good luck and thanks for sharing your experience after upgrading the SSD drive

• Portege R600-11b - screen is very low

  Hello

  The screen on my Portege R600-11b disappeared suddenly extremely dim. There is no problem with him coming back to life after hibernation - but he remains coems back extremely dim. Light blinks until when I press the button in the upper right corner with a symbol of the Sun.

  I think I might need a FL inverter? Do you know how do I know which I need and instructions on how to fit it?

  Also I had problems with Windows 7 Professional turning very slowly. I'm assuming that the two problems are not related.

  Hope you can help, thanks.

  Hello

  I recommend connecting an external monitor.
  If the image on the external monitor would be perfect, then your internal screen or inverter maybe FL needs to be replaced.
  You ask how to check this?
  Well, I'm afraid of each part should be checked using another good part tested m.

  In your case I would ask a support specialist
  Guarantee is valid? If yes then I recommend to contact Toshiba service in your country.

• Portege R600: try to get the external Radeon HD4650 graphics to work

  I have a Portege R600 with an ExpressCard interface and I'm trying to get this working with a Radeon HD4650 through a NetStor Turbobox without success

  It is impossible to detail more that I thought that the language is inappropriate, but everything I am captures the messages displayed by the laptop

  Hope it works at first

  Hello

  The laptop supports a simple slot ExpressCard.
  Usually, you should get an ExpressCard compatible all work.
  But I ve never used the NetStor Turbobox, so I can't say exactly if its compatible or not with this ExpressCard slot.

  Have you checked the page of the manufacturer of the NetStor Turbobox support?
  Maybe you'll get more details on this unit that maybe some special requirements are needed to use this

  Please post some info so you'll get some.

• Portege R600-12Z long delay of start & does not recognize DVD dirve

  I have been using my Portege R600 running windows XP for about 14 months now and recently FOUND that he began to take 1 to 2 minute wait before starting the sequence start or resumption after hibernation. Now, I have discovered that the DVD drive (5100 DVD - RW supermulti drive) does not work: in the Device Manager it shows as unable to start; If I try to boot from the drive of CD/DVD (F8 at first upward, or the definition of the boot priority) it does not take into account the CD and eventually get to the start of the HARD drive in any case. At the same time, the reader is actually superimposed a disc (it will open and close and will try to read any disc inserted). I've updated the bios (3.20) and all the drivers concerned I can find (although none seems to be specific for this drive). Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  I should also mention that this replaced R600 actually an another R600 (one of the earlier and more fragile versions) on which I had exactly the same problem after about 10 months. I just unluckly, or is this a weakness of the R600 line?

  PMR thanks for your comments.

• Portege R600-11b - cannot install Adobe Acrobat 9 - ActiveX problem

  I recently bought a Portege R600-11b and have tried to install Adobe Acrobat 9 on it by downloading it from the Adobe site.
  I spent many fruitless hours talk to Adobe to try to solve this problem.

  They concluded that my laptop is not compatible with the software.
  This isn't the case, that this laptop exceeds the specification of systems required in all aspects.

  The problem seems to be that it won't work ActiveX even after all the firewalls and anti-virus in disabled - I don't know hardly what to do - anyone has any suggestions please?

  > They concluded that my laptop is not compatible with the software.
  That s just absurd

  The Adobe Acrobat Reader software is a small application and can be installed on almost all computers and systems so that s certainly not a reason why you are not able to install this software.

  If this problem is related to the ActiveX, then you can change this in the settings of your internet browser.
  For example, using the IE7 you could modify this here:
  Tools-> Internet Options-> areas-> {}-> ActiveX controls and plug - ins area-> allow unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt

  You can also try to clean the operating system and the registry because the problem might be related to faulty registry entries.
  To do this, I would recommend using the free CCleaner tool.

  Finally and above all it s always advisable to consult the homepage of support from software manufacturers. Here you will find some documents on installation with the Adobe Acrobat Reader software problems.

• Portege R600 - display problem device change Utility

  We started to use computers laptop Toshiba Portege R600 series on my place of work. All laptops are home in a Toshiba Slim Port Replicator II. Laptops are all running a version of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 applied (and of course a few customization business).

  The problem is with the display on the external monitor. The laptop starts according to the normal and connects to the fine. The Fn + F5 key and so we can switch between the external LCD screen and the laptop monitor. We can also extend the desktop on the external monitor without problem.

  The problem occurs when the laptop is not docked since the Replicator. After having similar problems with R500 series laptops, Toshiba following applications have been installed:

  (1) common modules (version 6.06.01)
  (2) controls Toshiba (version 3.31.3800)
  (3) button ON / OFF (version 2.5.1.0_IS115)
  (4) Toshiba utility (version 4.30.18)
  (5) Toshiba screen device change Utility (version 2.5.0.0)
  (6) Toshiba Hotkey utility for display device (version 3.4.5.5)
  (7) Toshiba Mobile extension 3 for XP (version 3.87.00)

  We now have the following symptoms:

  (1) detach, the "gear" icon appears and then the error "TOSHIBA Display Device change Utility is not installed correctly. Please install TOSHIBA screen utility unit of change. "
  (2) for the mooring of the laptop again, we get the "home" icon, and then the same error.
  (3) after that, the external monitor does not become active once again, until what you press Fn + F5.

  I have tried uninstalling / reinstalling the TOSHIBA screen device change utility. Have tried to remove the Mobile Extensions and install the software, tried a number of different things to make it work. Rebuilt 1 stop working and everything was installed in the order above without success. In fact, noted that during the installation of the TOSHIBA utility screen device Change the Setup screen starts and runs, but the window does not uninstall.

  This seems to be a driver problem with those from Toshiba, but I'm not sure. Someone at - it suggestions regarding this? The drivers that I use are on the site of Toshiba Australia (even if they are the same drivers found on the main website of Toshiba). The link below.
