Portege M800 wireless issue

I go Portege M800 from here in Australia, with Vista 32. I'm really getting sick of the Windows wireless software.

On my old (not the Toshiba laptop) I usually use Intel PROSET Wireless Utility. Is it possible to use it with my laptop M800?
I tried to download and install something on the site of toshiba, called: SP300-IntelProset-120004-Vis32
However (for me) that installs only the following:
WiFi, advanced statistics
WiFi manual Diagnostics

No sign of the real PROSET Wireless connection utility from Intel.

Thank you

Check out this page of Intel:
http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-025792.htm

There you can download this tool.

And here you can find the whole directive and how to use it:

See you soon

  • Portege M800-107 - weak WiFi signal

    You have a Portege M800 wireless problem? I have weak signal problem. This problem is specific or?

    Hello!

    To be honest, I think that you are off of the router if you have a weak signal.
    Have the latest driver WLAN and the BIOS?

    Check if the laptop and the router use the same WLAN standards and disable all security features in the router like encryption, the hidden SSID, MAC address filtering settings, firewall, etc.

    You have security software on your laptop? Disable it and test it again.

    Good bye

  • Re: Portege M800-10Z - WiFi does not work

    Hello.
    I have a problem. I recently bought Toshiba Portege M800-10Z and downgraded Windovs Vista to XP service pack 3. All right, but the WiFi does not work.

    I tried to upgrade the wireless Lan driver, but it still does not work...
    I have Intel Wireles WiFi Link 5100 and system is Windovs XP service pack 3
    Is there someone who could help me with this issue?

    I would be very grateful for advice.

    Thank you very much

    Hello!

    That you say with the WiFi does not work?
    Can you connect to the router?
    The WLAN card is recognized in Device Manager?

    To solve this problem make sure that you have the latest version of the BIOS. Check on the Toshiba site.

    Also disable features of security as a hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far away.
    Check if an update of the firmware on your router available.

  • Portege M800 - the system hangs after connecting to fingerprint

    I just got my Portege M800 weeks ago and frankly speaking, this model has been giving me a lot of trouble. Earlier, it's heat problem in the palm rest and there is no solution for it.

    Now I am facing another problem with the connection of fingerprints. I'm running on Windows XP. I put the system must be locked after 5 minutes of inactivity. So normally after 5 minutes of inactivity, the system will have to be me to scan my fingerprint to open the windows. But there are moments which, after analysis of my fingerprints and put in correspondence with success, the screen will be just white (only show the desktop wallpaper). Not the desktop icons, no taskbar windows and nothing. Press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to bring up nothing and no answer even not a button. I tried to put the system to Hibernate by press the power button once as no response.

    So I have to finally press and hold the power button to reset the laptop.

    No matter which can help or give any idea of what was going on? Thank you!

    Hello

    I believe that these issues are in the past fixed with the new version of the fingerprint reader. Have you tried to install the latest version or you already have?

  • Defective screen on Portege M800

    I bought a PORTEGE (M800-107) in 2009 and before the expiration of the 3-year-old warranty (2012), the screen went black all the time.
    I sent it to the official service of TOSHIBA in Greece (called "IDEAL his '), who fixed it in about a month (and after two attempts).
    A year and a half later, the screen went black again. Now they ask me 500 euros for the replacement of the screen. Of course I won't give all these money.
    Portege was the 3rd Toshiba laptop, I used. I chose it because I wanted something powerful and professional. The irony is that the more expensive model has exploded sooner than the cheapest.
    However, it was the LAST ONE on your part.

    PS: in order to take my laptop (without attachment), I have to pay 30 euros for check technicians!
    Really, you know someone who goes to the service for fun? Or I am responsible for the failure of your model?

    Hello

    To be honest I m was really asking you this display problem. Portege and Tecra are the best notebooks of Toshiba business line and for years, they are known as products of high quality with the best material.

    Anyway, sometimes the best products have problems and be in trouble. Similar things happen with all technical products. I know that's enough damage and angry, especially in the time when you need your laptop.

    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but maybe you can buy view on your own and find someone who can exchange it for you. I did it for my friend a few years ago. We purchased watch on eBay and we exchanged it alone. Of course on our own risk.

    Bye and good luck

  • Portege M800 - Touchpad light extinguishes, and comp slows

    I have a Portege M800, model PPM81C-05C020.

    My problem is that the light above my touchpad dims and then gradually turns off completely. When this happens, I can't use the touchpad. Fortunately, I have an external mouse plugged in, but when the Synaptics mouse turns off, it also slows down my computer. I type this post very slowly and it still takes forever for words on the screen to catch up as I type. I thought that maybe the driver was somehow defective, so I went on the Toshiba site and tried to download the driver for this series of laptop and then restarted, but it did not help. I ran various programs to ensure there is no registry errors, but they all come back clean.

    I don't know what to do. I brought to a place of computer before and they managed to fix it, but 2 months later, the problem is recurring. Help! : S

    Hello

    This driver you downloaded from the official website of Toshiba?

    I would recommend a driver update from the official website of Toshiba touchpad:

    And interesting to know what OS you have.

  • Is possible to use the second HDD in PPM81E Portege M800-105

    Hello!

    Does anyone know, if it is possible to extend a Portege M800 - 105 model No. PPM81E with a second HDD?
    Is there a MediaBay for the DVD player to install a second hard drive?

    My goal is to use a Solid State Disk (64GByte) as the first disc (System only) and store all user data on the second drive.

    Best regards

    Hello

    To my knowledge it is not possible to use a second HDD Portege M800.

    The laptop supports eSATA connection so you can connect an external HARD drive.

  • Portege M800-103 - Bluetooth not working not not Linux

    Hello.

    I have a Toshiba Portege M800-103 (PPM81A) and a system to dual-boot with Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.1 x86_64 (recently installed).
    Almost everything works well under Ubuntu except bluetooth, which is not yet recognized.

    I also tried the omnibook and the toshset (with unbearable = 12) drivers. I have had no success at all.

    Little help would be greatly appreciated!

    Thank you

    Have you checked OS support for this model of laptop computer?
    As much as I know this Portege is not Linux supported and Toshiba doesn't offer BT stack for Linux.

    Have you checked some Ubuntu forum? Maybe you can find some useful information there. I imagine that a lot of people have the same problem with the different laptop models.

  • Portege M800 - noise and HWSetup does not start

    Hello

    I use a Portege M800-116 under XP - SP3.

    Problem 1:
    Connection Line-Out to a stereo system and play music with Winamp or WinMediaPlayer works fine on battery.
    As soon as I connect the power adapter, a whistle loud high frequency and UM static disrupts the experience.

    Problem 2:
    Files WAV or MP3 recording with internal or external microphone produce mediocre results.
    The resulting files include a high level of high frequency noise and hum static.
    Connect the power supply increases the problem.

    Comparing the quality of the recording and playback with my old confidence Portege M100:
    My M800 is one not only of poor quality - it's plain unusable.

    Problem 3:
    Toshiba HWSetup does not start from the control panel.
    Have you tried the ONU - and re - installing nothing helps.

    Thank you for guiding me towards a solution.

    Hi, fly,

    I m not Portege M800 owner so I can t he test for you, but I think that if the problem occurs only when the AC adapter is connected, it s a grounding problem

    You have 3-pin or 2-pin AC/DC adapter?
    As far as I know in this case you need 3-pin AC/DC adapter and power cord.

    You should ask an ASP in your country. Guys can order a new AC/DC adapter and check your laptop to what the problem is exactly.

  • Portege M800 - how to disable Intel SpeedStep?

    Hi all

    can anyone tell me please where to disable Intel SpeedStep in BIOS of my Portege M800? I have already updated to the latest version 4.80 but I can't yet find a related Intel SpeedStep option.

    Best regards

    Dante

    Hello

    Why you want to disable SpeedStep? I mean that's a feature and not a bug ;)
    SpeedStep can improve the performance of your laptop, because the CPU will be a little more overclocked card motherboard/BIOS if you run programs of high CPU usage. So that s nice

    If you want to disable, you must do in Windows power management if you can find t such an option in the BIOS.

  • Portege M800: The fan is almost always on

    Hello!

    I have a Portege M800 M105 with Vista 64 bit. The fan is almost always on despite the fact that the temperature of the CPU is about 43 to 46 Grad Celsius and the CPU has nothing to do. I used the program Speedfan (http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php) to display the temperature. I find that the noise of the fan is very noisy.
    Is there a possibility to control the fan, so that it will be only noisy when the temperature is high?

    Hello

    You are right. The Toshiba Power Saver for Win XP looks completely different as the Vista energy saver.
    But you can also change many settings in Vista energy saver that contribute to the use of the battery power decreases.

    The power settings are a bit hidden in the Vista energy saver but check this thread posted by Jayjay:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=38906&TSTART=0

    You will find a link to the doc of Toshiba:

    How to manage power settings in Vista there are has many useful tips.

  • Portege M800-106 - bad quality by using the external monitor

    I use an external monitor LG Flatron L1811S on my Portege M800 and find that the image is not rock solid when I use the display on my desktop or screen of the M800.
    It is particularly visible on the big patches of color block where I can see shimmering light. I noticed that it's especially bad if I recently reconnected the laptop to the network after using on battery power until the battery is fully charged.

    This makes me think that the PSU interferes with the VGA output?
    Any ideas?

    Thank you

    To be honest I m more important lack of information in your ad.
    Are you using the native resolution - 1280 x 1024 / 75 Hz on screen?

  • Portege M800 - Exposed sensitive Touchkeys does not work

    I am owner of the Toshiba Portege M800-105. Everything done his work. After 2 months working on it, my sensitive touchkeys exposed next to the POWER button does not work. After that I uninstalled 'Vista-value-added-package' everything works correctly. Why? Now my FN keys do not work or are disabled. Why?
    Before uninstalling the package, the first button next to the power button had to function to turn off the backlight of the Logo, the touchkeys senitive one of my touchpad. NOW he cut the sound! Weired fairy if you aks me. How do I challenge my buttons up to factory settings and make function keys FN?

    I reinstalled the value added package again, and have the backup problem as before: the first two buttons next to the power button does not work!
    Unter the Application: Thoshiba Button supports, for the first two buttons there are no keys depositd/marked so that I can change the configuration here.
    FN keys work after installation of the package, but not the sensitive keys! Please who can help me?

    Value added package has small programs. One of them is the Toshiba button Support. Walker I have uninstall it everything works. When I install it, nothing works.

    Hello guys

    This is really strange. I put t really know what happen on your laptops. The fact is that these buttons are controlled by the software. If I remember well he called support Button or a button control and she is part of the package of added value.

    VAP contains several different tools and utilities. When you remove the VAP, it will be removed the responsible application of the functionality of FN (Flashcards), and this is the reason why the FN doesn't work anymore.

    So, theoretically everything should be OK when you install PPV again. Again theoretically. Why you still have this problem I put t know and I don t believe that no one can say for sure. Maybe some registry entries are corrupted now? Who knows?

    I presume that you don t want to use a more radical solution and do clean install of the new OS, but it can certainly help. With own OS pre-installed (factory settings) everything works well again.

    In the end, I must say that I use Satellite U400 (similar to your Portege) almost 6 months now and all the buttons work correctly. I always use the Vista version and I n t made no changes. It works well.
