• Satellite A505-S6973 - OS update

  Hi all

  I'm curious to find out no matter who tried to upgrade their laptop series satellite A505-S6973 with windows vista Home premium x 64 chipset for windows 7 ultimate x 64.

  I ask because I would like to know if any compatibility problems, can the system host installation and with utilities pvat and eco are not.

  I need to update my system, but I want to do a clean install and wipe my drive means I'll lose all the drivers so I hope it's done and drivers are easy to spot for re-setup.

  Thanks for all suggestions, much appreciated.

• Satellite A505-S6973 and the OS upgrade

  Users of computers laptop toshiba colleagues,.

  I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has touchpad buttons and quickplay and wondering if I should upgrade my pc to Windows 7 I was able to use all these features (more eco and pc health monitor utility).

  I ask this because currently my pc has, which is supposed to be a hard disk of 500 GB, 317 GB of available hard disk space, but I barely information or documents stored on my system. I understand I have programs installed, but still for this amount.

  So, long story short, if I had to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and I installed the toshibha value added utility programs package and eco, that would be all I need to dload and install because I love this pc.

  Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can smell it the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slowly and always higher, the temperature on my system is currently 90% and 64% CPU TEMPERATURE FAN SPEED and I HAV my system set up to use low power.

  I enjoyed all the comments, suggestions and advice...

  I don't have a US mobile phone model and can't answer your second question, but I know with certainty that Win7 works well on the Satellite A500.
  Two months ago, I had the Satellite A500 friends home. Initially, it was pre-installed with Vista.
  I did two experiments to see how it works with Win7. First I updated it with the Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
  With the new installation of the OS, everything was OK also.

  Before Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to make sure what version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64 bit is completely compatible.

• Satellite Pro C50 keyboard problems - A - 1 L 6

  Hello

  I just bought this new Satellite Pro.

  I have installed all the drivers and updated the bios to the latest version, but I still have the same problem: when I write, many times my keyboard writes double letters (for example, all ten words written keyboard a letter double, as "keybboard").

  I tried also to change the properties of the keypad on the control panel of Windows 8, but nothing has changed.

  I called support, but they just told me that I have to bring my laptop in a helpdesk: but I need my new computer to work, and I wouldn't be happy to lose at least 4 weeks!

  And, support told me that, if the laptop has no hardware problem, I would have to pay for assistance...
  .
  So, this is my first experience and unlucy in the world of Toshiba...
  Is there someone who can give me some advice to solve this problem?
  It may be a problem running on the new laptops, and someone knows how to fix this?

  Thank you very much!

  Hi guys,.

  As far as I know that these similar keyboard problems in the past could be resolved by the BIOS updated.
  I found the new BIOS for Satellite Pro C50 - A
  http://Support1.toshiba-tro.de/Tedd-files2/0/BIOS-20140912105436.zip
  Worth a try

  Another question: If someone has done to test a USB external keyboard?
  In the case where the external USB keyboard would work correctly, this issue isn't associated with BIOS or keyboard controller but probably his keyboard fault internal.

• Satellite A505-S6973 - no sound from my laptop speakers

  I have an A505-S6973 and today I lost volume on my speakers. When I took my headphones, I hear, but without the headset is plugged in, I have no sound from my laptop speakers.

  I checked the Manager of devices for software problems but everything is erased, also, my volume is completely on.

  I tried a restore, but in vain, as I tried to uninstall and reinstall the extra value package but when you try to run the software after extraction it an error [0x8146045B] reports itself.

  This morning, everything seemed to work fine, the only thing I can think, I removed my places of sharing network of windows media.

  If that's the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re - install. In addition, value added package question, is there something that can be done, because the buttong enable/disable touchpad when press nothing happens, but if I use the function with F9 key it activates / deactivates.

  I really hope someone can help me, apparently, that it is an unlucky weekend for me.

• Re: Satellite P200 (PSPB6E) - keyboard problem

  Hello

  I have a keyboard with Satellite P200, series PSPB6E problem.

  Keyboard seems to generate Press Page Down constantly, although nothing has been paid to this subject.
  It is even difficult to turn on laptop, because it produced consecutive beeps and prevents the computer from starting.

  Sometimes some keyboard characters do not work, and in the second time it works. Sometimes same PgDown works as expected.
  Œuvres for additional keyboard, but it also receives PgDown keyboard of the laptop.

  Now, I can't insert any sentence in this post, because PgDown will move the cursor down.
  Laptop is under warranty. Should I enable it?

  I note that no. LIQUID is poured on the keyboard.

  On the keyboard of the computer laptop not work keys A, B, N, LEFT SHIFT, INPUT, same brief moments where PgDown keys not dumping. Sometimes even these key works!

  Best regards
  Vladimir Stefanovic

  Great news, buddy! :)

  I also have good experience with my ASP. They fixed the laptop as soon as possible and the repair took only a few days. It's also free.

  So still I m happy with the service!

• Games on Satellite A505-S6973

  Gods of colleagues toshiba, good night.

  I would like to know if it is possible to play games on my toshiba satellie A505-S6973. A colleague of mine has a dell studio xps and it can that disgusted me because if he can do it why not can I and we all know toshiba is better.

  Is there something I'm missing, I think it is the graphics card being an edge or is it just some games I can play.

  If so can someone please direct me as to the types of games I can run. Would be nice to play some call of duty and... For the moment I tried to run fifa 2011 and it starts good then begins to freeze during play. Had the phone since August of last year, so I don't know if it's just the BONE that gives a question, if yes, then I'll have to upgrade to 7 but I hope this isn't the case.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  I played COD2 and COD4 on the laptop models much older, so I think you can try to play the two of them on your laptop.

  Maybe you shouldn't play newer games, but I think that your Toshiba must manage with games that have maybe one or two years.
  You just need to test.

• Strange problem with my Satellite A505-S6973

  Somehow when I put a CD in my player... He slip in my computer, but not in the drive and I can not find.

  So I don't know what my options are here, leave it there and hope, nothing happens try to remove my disk drive, which I have no idea how to do.
  Or send it, which im not sure if he would be paid under warranty...

  Anyway advice or ideas would be great.

  > Somehow when I put a CD in my player... He slip in my computer, but not in the drive and I can not find.

  You mean the disc is located inside the laptop and you can't find or remove it?
  I don't know how you managed to do something like that, but I think you need a help of a technician for laptop that I highly recommend contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

• On the Satellite U50T-A keyboard problem

  I have a U50T.-a Satellite.
  Control device (keyboard) shows the following error message:
  Windows cannot start this hardware device because its information of configuration (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)

  I tried to solve this problem, but I don't know what to do.

  Message was edited: assignment has been translated

  Are you abele to use the USB mouse or the touchpad?

  If Yes, then you should be able get the system back to point in time at the beginning.

  Restart the computer, go to the area of backup and system restore, then select the save point that has been created in the past.

  This restores the system and fix the registry.

  I think the keyboard should work after this procedure.

• Satellite L855 - 12N - keyboard problem after upgrade to Windows 10

  Greetings friends,
  the problem goes like this: I have a TOSHIBA satellite, L855-12N, Series notebook.

  After updrading to win 10, some of my keys (a, n, enter) did not work initially.
  If I wait for awhile, they start work later.
  I find that I continue to press a button, (for example the button "a") for a long time, I see that he started to answer, then stop again and then answer - stop, until finally it works OK.
  I tried to update the drivers, uninstall and then reinstall, but it doesn't seem to work.
  Anyone know what's going on, or have any suggestions?
  Thank you.

  You are 100% it's a matter of Windows 10?
  Looks more like a hardware problem, keyboard should replace.

  Go into the BIOS and test the keyboard in there.
  If it goes into the BIOS and then replace the keyboard.

  If it's a software problem, try uninstalling the driver for the touchpad Control Panel, then reinstall it via Windows Update.

• Re: Satellite A300D - strange keyboard problem

  Hello!

  I have a problem with my Satellite A300D: when I press on 'y' or '5', I get a "y5" and when I press "n" or "b", I get a "nb".
  If I hold down y or 5, it seems y5yyy... and with n and b I get nbnnn...

  What you think could be the problem? Keyboard? Or some other hardware controller?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  It is difficult to say why this happens, but in your case I would like to connect an external keyboard and check this. You may notice the same behavior?

  If not, I think the case is clear: your keyboard internal doesn t work properly and you need a new. Therefore, you can contact a service provider authorized in your country.

  By the way: have you checked the keyboard input language?

• Satellite Pro C660 - keyboard problems

  This issue is one for computer laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-1UX running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1.

  Some of the keys on Board (E, T, U, I, O, A, B, N, and the Enter key) fail to register.
  All keys tested so far seem to register normally.

  When you connect an external USB keyboard, all the keys work properly. When you use the integrated keyboard or external USB keyboard, however, pressed some key is selected for about 2-3 seconds so that his character register. This makes typing incredibly slow and is naturally unacceptable.

  I checked the Manager of devices looking for errors, but can't find one. The keyboard driver is classified properly installed and functional, and driver update indicates that the latest version is in already in service.

  I've also scanned for viruses using Spybot and Malware bytes and also with laptops own antivirus software pre-installed. All the analyses of the entire system refer a none found the message of threat.

  I read that the keyboards on these machines can sometimes be problematic, which could respond only to edge, some function keys. The fact that all the external USB keyboard keys work seems to confirm this. However, the fact that the keyboard both onboard and external is affected by the same slow pressure might also suggest a bios problem - but that this laptop computer is several years old and working perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  I visited the Toshiba site and based on this laptop with the part number: PSC0ME-02100SEN, I have concluded (rightly or wrongly) that the correct bios download version is 1, 70 - WIN, only when I read the following installation instructions http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm bios
  I became quite concerned, like installing the bios update seems far from simple.

  Does anyone know if it is possible to download and install the bios right through an update automated versus manual download and installation step by step, which, if not carried out as planned, could make the laptop completely unusable.

  Has anyone reading this post experienced similar problems with this make and model laptop and was able to return successfully to the good operating condition. If so, how?

  All constructive advice would be welcome.

  > When you connect an external USB keyboard, all keys work correctly.

  This means that the keyboard controller is OK and the internal keyboard is defective.
  To resolve this problem of keyboard, internal keyboard needs to be replaced.

  > However, the fact that the keyboard on board as external is affected by the same keypress slow could also suggest a bios problem - but this laptop computer is several years old and works perfectly, why bios suddenly would cause this problem.

  Hmm I n t think so
  The keyboard delay can be bound to parameters.
  You can check this in the control panel-> keyboard

  Hi Olbur

  I didn't find any official document on this subject, as you say, known issue. Can you please send a link?

  I have the Satellite L20 and there is not much difference for Satellite Pro L20 and I have no such problems, but I'm interesting about this. The L20 keyboard is not the best one, but all the characters are not displayed correctly. Maybe you type fast. ;)

• On Satellite C660-1J2 keyboard problems

  I have 2 laptops from Toshiba, type Satellite C660-1J2 used by 2 different people and we both have the same problem.
  The problem is with typing, many times it jumps a letter and sometimes a letter not to show, and then when you hit it again you get 2 letters and sometimes just get 2 letters to hit once.

  We tested it and it's a real big problem for us, because we use it for school...

  Help us please!

  Update the BIOS this will certainly solve!
  There are a lot of discussions on this issue and the update of the BIOS helped to address this problem.

  In addition, I found this article in the knowledge base:

• Satellite A505-S6980 - keyboard does not properly

  Hello, here is a brief description of this aweful problem I have on my 2 month old A505 S6980.

  As I tried to install Ubuntu, I was restarting windows 7 starts, a screen came to ask me to choose what operating system I want to start, everything seemed normal, but the keyboard was dead, I couldn't choose any.
  I used the power button to restart, but then it would start just after the BIOS loaded, a black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left for a few seconds, then a beep FORT comes out continuously (beep beep beep beep...) and nothing loads.

  I have attached a USB keyboard and it worked... after many attempts to boot from USB or CD, I managed today to see that the problem seems to come from the keyboard.

  In fact, when I press the letter 'r', he wrote "r4".
  y = y6 [backspace]
  / = /0

  The keypad is nuts, 5 active / disable the Numlock. When you press 2 twice he wrote 52.
  The arrows write numbers...
  Some Fkeys does not as well...

  I bought this laptop only 2 months ago of Lebanon and just now, I am in France. I like there is no people of Toshiba in France who can fix things, except in Paris, that will be quite a chore!

  Any ideas?

  Thank you!

  Hello
  Have you tried to pick the operating system with external keyboard? I think, there is a problem with windows mbr (master boot record) which has corrupted by Ubuntu. Try to make the recovery of the system from the hard drive, but I guess it's already gone
