• Satellite L500-1XL - new hardware upgrades

  Hi all
  I have the Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL and recently bought a new 500 GB internal HD and the upgrade went well. However, the internal transfer speeds aren't that fast. He is often out on 18mps level. Why? Affects of that? Use of the RAM, the use of the disk, the free storage space? The HD came with the laptop was 5400 with 8 MB, but my new is 7200 RPM with 16 MB with 11 seconds of access time. If that should not be much faster?

  Also, how can we get the support of USB 3.0? Only through new hardware? I know it goes into Windows 8 as this means there could be a few Windows 7 supports or who is still dependent on material?

  What are the most effective upgrade options to make my laptop run faster? He was modest. When I got it, but now use it for any need so get. Thus, upgrading to HD 160 GB to 500 GB (5400-7200), but it's unique processor with only 2 GB of RAM. I noticed on the Toshiba page so it says on a 64 bit system with 4 GB of RAM, the chart may use up to 1 800 MB of RAM upgrade RAM (not expensive) and then the processor? Even a single dual core would do the job? No need for a costly i3 and perhaps not compatible with the motherboard.

  Thank you!

  Hey Buddy,

  And what was your old HDD? HARD disk speed depends on different factors. You copy a large number of small files and a large single file?
  It s also useful to defragment the HARD drive from time to time. This can improve the speed. Also keep the system clean and use a registry cleaner like CCleaner that cleans up your registry.

  USB3.0 is a different interface. This new operating system wouldn t help you because it s material new feature/upgrade.

  Other improvements regarding: CPU and graphics card is not supported as you can read here:

  Your laptop has Intel GL40 chipset and the maximum RAM capacity is 4 GB. So you can install 2 GB DDR2-667 module in each memory location.

• Satellite L500-1XL - does boot and the screen stays black

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L500-1XL, when I turn it on the fan and lights and the hard drive light blinks several times then nothing, he's not going to the Toshiba screen remains black screen, tried ext monitor but still nothing.

  The fan always runs very quietly and the hard drive is running in, I put the hard drive in an another L500 and it is very good and can be accessed without problem, it has only 1 stick of 2 GB of RAM DDR3 and the other L500 I is DDR2 so I can't try to change the RAM. If I remove the ram should it beep or does only desktop computers do this? Mine does nothing when it is removed.

  Any help would be very useful, thank you!

  Hi gazzdowzell,

  If your laptop doesn t boot it seems to be a hardware bad working it could be everything, motherboard, BIOS, CPU, etc and it is difficult to say what exactly is the problem.

  First of all, I would like to try this:
  [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

  If it doesn t work, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.
  In addition if you remove the RAM and the beep of t n for laptop, it seems to be another problem. If you have removed the RAM module would be defective, the computer would have a beep.

  Good luck!

• Low RAM in Satellite L500-1XL

  When I ran a diagnostic on my laptop (Satellite L500-1XL) report he said that my RAM was low and to upgrade for better performance - it was very slow to start lately.
  However, I discovered that my model is no longer supported and I don't know what to do.
  Any suggestions?

  Keep in mind, I'm a total novice when it comes to computers so nothing too technical if you please!
  Thank you.

  With more RAM your laptop will have better performance.
  According to specification for laptop, your laptop comes with 2 GB of RAM, but it can be upgraded up to 4 GB.

  So buy second 2 GB of RAM and upgrade your laptop.

• Satellite L500-1XL - strange Windows 7 error - hardware failure or virus?

  Hi people,

  I am running windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL.

  About 6 weeks, Windows refuses to load.
  I would get the "Toshiba" screen, then on startup of Windows startup, but then nothing else than a black screen with an icon of the mouse (mobile).

  I could not in safe mode, and Toshiba built in recovery utility would not work.
  "Even using the Toshiba ' product recovery" DVD did nothing, even if the drive was some strange, repetitive clicks for this, so I suspected a faulty hard drive. (Possibly where the MBR has been OK, but the data weren't?)

  In any case, I put in a replacement HARD drive (backups are a wonderful thing BTW!) and DVD recovery charge perfectly and everything seemed fine.

  About 2 weeks later, I had the same problem
  ("Toshiba" Windows startup splash screen, but then nothing but a black screen with a mouse (mobile), no safe mode icon; no recovery utility)

  This time, however the product recovery DVDs worked fine first time.

  Another 2 weeks and the same problem will reoccur; This time, it took another HARD disk for the recovery media to work.

  So my question is, really, what could be causing this anomaly?

  Would it be a virus which is corrupt something that is preventing Windows from loading? And the 'prevention' so that I can not load even the recovery utilities?

  In this case might it also prevent the loading product recovery DVD?

  Or am I looking at an intermittent fault with the connector on the HARD drive that can be either physically damage the drive or at least prevent it from loading?

  I read about the so-called "Windows Black Screen of Death", but I'm sure this isn't that.

  All the advice accepted with gratitude...

  > So my question is really what could be causing this anomaly?
  I doubt it s a virus or something like that, but nothing is impossible.

  In my experience, the data on the HARD drive can be affected by different software.
  In my case, the data on the HARD drive was corrupted, because the 3rd party software changed some files and the master boot record is damaged.
  I formatted the HARD drive and created new partitions.

  I also use the CCleaner and I defragment the HARD disk several times in the week.
  Since the HARD drive and the data are ok and didn t notice such symptoms more.

  Maybe you should try this too

  > I've been using Toshiba, but they say that this laptop does not support Linux, is - it true?

  Well, saying Toshiba does not support Linux its meaning only there is no Linux drivers or tools on the page of the Toshiba driver.

  You can install Linux, but the point is that you have to use it without any special Toshiba Linux driver

• Satellite L500 - reset to factory default with 64 bit OS

  Hi all...

  First excuse my bad English...

  I have the Satellite L500 with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit), and I want to back without the factory, as how I bought it first.

  I know that this method: you have 0 just by turning on the laptop computer, you receive the warning, and then you choose (out of the box)... etc.

  But if I do this method yet will I receive 64-bit or 32-bit?

  Thanks in advance :)

  > I know this method: you have 0 just by turning on the laptop computer, you receive the warning, and then you choose (out of the box)... etc.

  This is not the method for laptops Toshiba bought in Europe.
  You power the unit and press F8
  Then choose fix my computer, then choose disk HARD recovery.

  It is the same for 32-bit and 64-bit

• Can satellite L500-1XL - I reduce drive D?

  I just bought a Satellite L500-XL with 160 GB HARD drive.

  It is partitioned into a c drive and a drive of equal sizes, and it seems that the D: drive is used only for recovery files. that leaves 67.4 Go unused. By default Windows 7 library folders are on the C: drive, so this drive will fill and let a user inexperienced, thinking that the disk is full.

  Is it necessary to devote half of the files recovery disk, and what can I do about it?

  See you soon

  Hi ernstk,

  First: create the Toshiba recovery disc. If something goes wrong, you can restore the factory settings every time and you can do what you want with your laptop. Just launch the Toshiba recovery disc creator and follow the instructions on the screen.

  In addition, you can change the partitions. Just use the Windows disk management tool.

  But let me give you a little advice: don't change the size of the partition. Just move your own files like photos, music, documents, etc. on the second partition. If you need to reinstall the laptop using the mode of recovery of HARD drive, these files will not be deleted (only the first partition). So that s pretty comfortable. :)

• This external modem will work with Satellite L500-1XL, running Windows 7

  Hello

  When in Spain, I need to use the dialing up to the internet through Telefónica.
  I guess that the L500-1XL is not an internal modem?

  This external modem will work with the L500-1XL running Windows 7?

  Thank you very much in advance for your help.

  Hello

  You re right Satellite L500 doesn t have an internal modem, so you need an external.

  I think you can buy every modem that is compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your favorite computer dealer or authorized service provider

• Re: Reseting Satellite L500-19Z to factory setting

  Hi all.

  I'm trying to restore my L500 laptop to factory settings. After trying the main solution to hold the value 0 (zero) key at startup, it is not display any warning messages. It just seems to stay on a black screen where it shows some information and asks me to press F2 or F12. If I let go of 0, it starts as usual after 15-20 seconds and F2 appears to open the menu of the BIOS.

  Is there another way to restore the factory settings?

  Why do you not use zero key? Where did you pick up information that you must use the zero key to enter the recovery of HARD drive option?
  See page 64 in the document s user manuals. It is described how you can begin installation of HARD drive recovery.

  Moreover, on this forum, we discussed several times how it works on the European laptop models.
