• Satellite P755-103 - cannot install the package of added value

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite P755-103. In order to maintain the updated drivers, I downloaded Toshiba Value Package added to the downloads section of the page Web of Toshiba. (2 times, I'm sure that the driver is for my 64-bit version of Windows 7).
  When I tried to install it, I got the repair and the options remove. Repair gave me this error: RegDBGetItem failed (1). So I removed completely the driver so that I can install it again. During the installation of the driver that I got the same error, so I couldn't install it, so now I'm unable to activate the shortcut keys PVAT gives me access.

  If anyone knows something that might help with this problem please say something, it would be very apreciated.
  Sorry for my English.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Value added package is still listed in the list of Windows software? If so, I would recommend removing it. Then restart your computer and try to reinstall the VAP.

  If it doesn t work I would try CCleaner. That is a nice freeware tool to clean the registry. You can find the tool using Google. Just run the registry cleaner and then you should be able to install VAP.

  Generally speaking, it s is not necessary to update the drivers if everything is ok. If you n t have any problems you can forget about these updates. ;)

• Satellite U940-103 with Linux - Touchpad does not & poorly programmed FN keys

  Hello

  I bought a toshiba Satellite U940-103, and I installed ubuntu 13,10 dual boot with windows 8.1.

  The problem is that the touchpad is not working and the fn are false (fn f2 key suspend the computer instead of the brightness control).

  I tried to install linux different sistem (Mint cinnamon 15, 13.04 ubuntu, ubuntu 12.04.3) but they still have the same problem, even in the live cd.

  I tried to ask the Italian Forum of ubuntu, but they have solutions do not work...

  Thanks for the help

  * PS.* sorry for my bad English. Is it normal that my laptop seems overheated and my battery life seems to be reduced when I use Linux?

  Hello

  Yes, you're right!
  In the direct (stable mode without having to install), the touchpad does not work.

  However, once installed, it will work.

  In regards to shortcut keys, yes they are mapped correctly.
  They are treated to the old-fashioned way (former Toshiba models had the mapping used by Linux on this model).
  If you want help, file a bug report on bugs to Ubuntu system.

  You can always change the brightness by using the GUI (Control Panel > brightness & Lock).

  Fun with Ubuntu on your device!

• Satellite U840T-103 - touch screen stopped working

  Hi, I have a Satellite, U840t-103.

  The touch screen has stopped working earlier.
  I don't know why.

  I think I have been juggling the project button, but I still can't get it to work again.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  Touch screen don't need any special driver of Toshiba.
  The driver is already part of Windows 8 / 8.1
  That is why I don't think there is a software problem, but of course, I would recommend you to retrieve the computer laptop back to factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc just to check if this procedure would allow the touchscreen feature once more.

  This is a first common procedure in case something bad would happen to the laptop or the system.

  But if the system recovery doesn't help, the laptop must be verified by the service provider allowed for possible hardware malfunction. But let's hope, the recovery procedure would solve your problem.

• Satellite P755 - cannot activate WLan using Fn + F8

  Hey

  I have a toshiba Satellite P755 and I don't know why, but my button WiFi by touch and pressing Fn + F8 doenst work more and I can't use WiFi now to enter the internet

  I tried to install the latest driver / wirless battery, display and others and the value of the entire too and still does not work

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  You use the Windows 7 system?
  Other FN keys work correctly?

  Please check first if the special function mode key does not affect the functionality of the FN button.
  In BIOS-> Advanced-> system configuration, you can find the special function key option mode. It allows you to use the function keys without pressing the FN key.

  Where this is not the problem, you must reinstall the Toshiba VAP for Win 7 as well as the utility of Support Flash Cards for Win 7

  After this reboot of the laptop.

• Is satellite U840t-103 - possible to downgrade to Win7?

  Hello

  does anyone know if it is possible to downgrade to win 8.1 for win 7 on my Satellite U840t-103?
  Need to use internet explorer 8...
  I'm a little worried that he will be absent drivers.

  Tobias cordially

  Hello

  I checked the download page of Toshiba on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp and there is no support for Win7.

  In General, Win7 installation should be possible, but if you find no drivers, tols and utilities it has no sense for me to do.

  By the way: don't forget to create a recovery (DVD or USB) media.

• Satellite 2400-103 - what is the maximum size of HARD drive?

  Hi all.
  New here.

  Nobody knows what the maximum hard disk size is for a Satellite 2400-103? This laptop has a 30GB HARD drive which is complete at the moment and I'm moving to a 160 GB unit.

  Used software - DiskCopy - clone Moose 30 GB of cloning to the new 160 GB drive. This creates a partition on the disk that is the same size as the original (about 28GB). If the new hard drive is installed on the laptop at this point, the laptop will be start OK. If I use a partition manager - Partition Magic - to resize the partition to the size of the new disc (about 150 GB) then the laptop does not start.

  Would it because there is a limit on the size of the hard disk supported by this laptop?
  If so, what is the limit?

  Thank you and best regards.

  Mike

  Hello!

  Satellite 2400 is very old notebook, so I think it has a limitation of LBA 28 bits. This means that you can only use up to 128 GB of free space so the maximum capacity of the disc HARD would be 120 GB. So I think that's the reason why the computer laptop can-t start successfully with the 160 GB model.

  In your case I bring back the 160 GB model to the computer store and ask one another 120 GB one. It should work normally

  Good bye

• Satellite P755 - 11G: Win 7 64 bit - cannot activate BT after replacement of the module

  Hello

  On my laptop Satellite P755, I had to replace the Wifi/Bluetooth PCI Express Mini card because the original Atheros was broken and was no longer working.

  So I decided to buy a new Intel® Wireless-Dualband-AC 7260 card to replace.
  Has successfully replaced by itself.
  WiFi now works again.

  Now, I'm dealing to get BT running. With the old Atheros card I could activate BT by pressing FN + F8 and choose Bluetooth from the menu of flashcard on top of the screen.

  After the replacement of the F8 full option in flash cards had disappeared.
  I managed to solve the problem for the WiFi by adding the ID of the new material of the card Intel (PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_08B1 & SUBSYS_40708086) in the registry in the following locations:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\ConfigFree--> InternalDevice176
  Hotkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\Wireless--> DevID_SupportRL175
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessAPL\BT WLANDP--> DevID_SupportRL176
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessDevice ID--> DevID_SupportRL176

  Now FN + F8 works very well for the WiFi, flash cards menu appeared again.
  But there is still no option to activate Bluetooth.

  Addition of the BT hardware in the registry (same locations as the WiFI) ID does not help.
  I can't get the point how the flash cards software manages to activate the bluetooth normally.

  Does anyone have an idea what it takes to get the Bluetooth in the menu flash cards?

  My system:
  Toshiba P755 - 11G
  Windows 7 64 bit

  See you soon,.
  Alex

  Hello

  You said that the original WLan module was to Atheros.
  As far as I know the module Atheros WLan additional needs for the installation of the filter for the Atheros BT driver package in order to use and activate Bluetooth.

  In the case of modules WLan Intel such package of filter is not necessary.

  I guess the Atheros BT filter driver package is always installed on this laptop and I think this might be the reason why the BT can not be activated properly.

  However, I recommend you to uninstall the filter BT mentioned driver package as well as Toshiba BT stack, driver Atheros WLan and the Toshiba value added package, and the Flash Cards Support utility. Clean the system using the CCleaner tool.

  Then install the Intel driver that would control the new Intel WLan card.
  Install the Toshiba BT stack and restart the device. Now follow with the installation of the Toshiba added value package and the Flash Cards Support utility. Reboot once again and check if you can use FN + F8 to activate WiFi and BT

• Satellite A110-103 - 2 GB RAM - gaming performance optimization - SOLUTION

  Hello

  For those of you who have 2 GB of RAM installed on the laptop and want to play games like f.e.a.r.2 PROJECT ORIGIN, it's performance that I have tested on my Toshiba Satellite A110-103!

  If you want to add 2 GB of RAM or more to your laptop please read [this post and my experience with upgrades RAM | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=153005#153005]! It could help you save money!

  Before you install the 2 GB of RAM, I used to have a paging file 4096 defined in Windows for drive C.
  After that I installed the 2 GB of RAM, I wanted to play f.e.a.r.2 Project Origin on low heat.
  However, the game played horrible with low display rate. So I wanted to know if there is a way to disable virtual memory (swap file) and only use real RAM.

  Most of the discussions about the paging files disabling said it there is no way or point by doing this!
  Well, I decided to give it a try!

  I disabled the paging file to * start-> Control Panel - > system-> advanced-> performance-> settings-> advanced-> virtual memory - > Exchange-> no paging file *. I restarted my laptop and after the reboot in my case I could see the big difference in speed!

  TEST: I opened FEAR2 - Project Origin started playing and my character's movement, where much more receptive and lag-free! : D

  Conclusion: In my case disable virtual memory (swap file) really boosted my gaming experience! And I play on an ATI X200M with 256 MB shared memory card!
  Try this and if you get good results please post them here! I have

  Best regards
  Marius Gigi

  Hi dude

  Thanks for this message
  Usually the pagefile should help you increase the performance of RAM
  USIN the page file, the data that must be stored in RAM would be transferred to the HARD disk and therefore a pieces of RAM would be free

  However, thank you for this return of experience and your comments!

• Problems starting on Satellite P755-S5382

  I recently bought a Satellite P755-S5382 (maybe a month ago), and until today it worked fine. I went to work leaving on, and when I got home it seems asleep. After checking, I saw it was off, and when I tried to put in operation the power button flashed about 5 times and it wouldn't start. I UN-plugged it and tried with just the battery and tried to take the battery out and put it back after a few minutes.

  So far, nothing I do not work. I don't know if the battery is dead and the power adapter does not work, but I would like to know if anyone has any other suggestions before I have spend $60 on a new adapter and/or battery.

  You can start laptop without battery and connected to the power supply current only?

• Cannot install utilities on Satellite L670D-103 with Win7 32-bit Toshiba

  Hello

  I have a problem with my brand new Satellite L670D-103. To install my design software (AutoCAD_32bit), I had to install a 32 bit OS. So, now, I'm running under Windows7 32 bit and my CAD software works great, perfect. The problem is that I can't find any TOSHIBA (utilities or added value or HotKey) software that runs on Windows7 32 bit for my type of computer. If the shortcut keys do not work and my WIFI is turned off! (I need to use the Fn + F8 keyboard shortcut to turn on!)

  I tried to install the other version of "Toshiba Value added package" of another type of computer SATELLITE but it never works...

  Someone has an idea? is there anyone from Toshiba support help me?

  Thank you
  Olivier

• How to change the Satellite L670D-103 using new SSD 80 GB HARD drive?

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L670D-103 with a 320 GB HARD drive running at 5400 RPM which is too slow for me.

  So I plan to change this factory by a new SSD HDD to increase the performance of the overall system :)

  But as the SSD are expensive, I have only a 80 GB SSD.

  I built the recovery on a USB media and I want to use it to restore my system to the new SSD (I previously did the space needed to ensure that all data can be stored on my new SSD 80 GB space; p)

  Retrieving SSD partitioning new procedure is done without error, but when copying image to restore data to freshly created the partition, one not enough space error stop the process!

  It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb).

  So, how can I restore mysystem on my new SSD?

  Thank you
  Stéphane.

  > It seems that the recovery procedure is possible on a hard drive that is equal or superior to the original size of the disk (320 gb)

  To my knowledge, you have different recovery options:

  (* 1) * recovery of factory default software

  (a) recovery to out of box state
  (b) recovery without changing the HARD drive partitions
  (c) recovery of a custom size partition

  (* 2) * "erase the HARD drive.

  I think that if you choose factory default software recovery of-> recovery to out of box state then the recovery would create exactly the same size of partition on the new SSD which were available on the 320 GB HARD drive.
  I think this might be the reason why you have received this message.

  Perhaps you need to choose the 3rd option Recovery on a custom size partition

  What do you think?

• Satellite L650D-103 - USB ports do not work

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L650D-103 with usb ports not working only (no mouse, no printer) of a windows update 7.
  I tried a system restore, but it has not solved the problem.

  When I check the generic system card realtek controller is disabled.

  What can I do?
  Thank you for your help

  + The message was edited: post has been translated.

  Hello

  I recommend you remove the hubs and USB controllers in Device Manager.
  Expand the domain controller USB (in Device Manager), choose the USB devices - root - hub USB enhanced host controller, and press DELETE. This must be done for all devices listed there.

  Satellite L650D-103 was equipped with an AMD chipset.
  The chipset driver is part of the ATI display driver and that's why I recommend you to reinstall the ATI display driver again.

  Finally, restart the laptop and test the functionality of USB port.
