• Can Portege R500 - I use the Fn + F5 on the keyboard?

  On the laptop keyboard, you can use Fn + F5 to switch the video output to the screen of the laptop to one to connect to the outside.
  Is there a button that you can use with a USB keyboard connected to the laptop which would have the same effect as Fn + F5?

  We have a problem with one of our Portege R500.
  When the laptop is docked in the port replicator, we have a desktop extended on two screens - a 22 "on DVI and a 17" on VGA screen.
  When the user takes the laptop away and uses that off the port replicator, the display returns to the screen on the screen of the laptop so this means what they re - anchor their laptop in the port replicator, they have no display on a screen.

  The work around is to open the laptop, press Fn + F5, close the laptop, connect and set the view registered software intel.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Message describe you exactly how the switch of the display function.
  Everything is OK.

  If you ask for FN + F5 function on the external keyboard so I must say that, as much as I know this FN feature is not available if the external keyboard does not support the FN keys.

  But you can also view the Mobile Extension of Toshiba (if you are using Win XP).
  In Mobile Extension-> display tab service change, you can activate the display changes service and could check how the display changes after the connection and disconnection of the R500.

• Portege R500 - replacement of the keyboard - success

  After buying a new keyboard for the R500 on EBay about a year ago, I finally blew the courage to replace a badly scratched by a new keyboard. The reason I've waited? I was worried about how to get out the old keyboard (it is locked down to the chassis, and it was obvious that I have would hurt one during the withdrawal.

  There is a nice write-up general on how to disassemble a R500 here:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Portege-R500/disassemble-laptop-remove-hard-drive.htm

  The description above is not to discuss the keyboard however, so here's some additional information and tips:

  * Read this whole procedure before you start - it's simple, but not for the faint of heart.

  * Shut down, unplug the power, remove the battery.

  * Make sure that you have the correct keyboard for your model. The US keyboard is p/n G83C000903US for example. One I removed was a Rev 1 and a new one, I had a Rev 2 (don't know the difference - they look identical). They can get as low as $40-mais check the part number before you buy.

  * The keyboard connector is located under the computer, and so you will have to take off from the bottom, carefully following the instructions in the link above.

  A couple of notes: (a) the cable Ribbon PCMCIA connector must be opened to disconnect the cable, as this is the only thing that prevents you from removing the bottom of the computer. You can easily do so through access memory on the back door, but BE careful not to damage the cable lock. It works by switch to the top the little plastic lever that is held in place by small pieces of plastic on the sides of the connector that flex * a little *. Be gentle with this connector. When you put it back later-connector, if you placed the cable all the way into the connector, you can lock with only slight pressure down on the connector, and it will snap into place.

  (b) there are other types of cable Ribbon connectors use too. For example, to unlock the keyboard connector, now visible also on the bottom of the deck, slide both ends of the connector in the direction where the cable plugs in. They are snug and will only move about 1/4 ", be gentle but firm.

  (c) the two tiny connectors blocks free access to the water of the keyboard do not have locks on them. We're a band with only a few drivers, and one is a red and white power connector. Just pull out them. All the other connectors, you will probably miss through requires unlocking, so be careful!

  _Now back to the keyboard: _

  Once you have managed to disconnect his cable on the bottom, turn the laptop and start to remove the keyboard on the edges. It is supported by many small pieces of sticky tape, 2 faces, and that's it. As the base of the keyboard is made of aluminum, it is likely that you will distort the keyboard a bit as release you it, even though it may be downplayed maybe using a tool like a rule or something plastic and pry with it. Take care of not to damage the connector of the Ribbon and try to ignore these scary cracking sounds that identify each section!

  Once you have turned it off, you must remove any excess tape before starting point and again put a bunch of small pieces of new, good quality 2-sided tape (such as 3 m). No need to use anything stronger or thicker - just put a bunch of parts everywhere on the base, especially near the edges and the space key.

  Now, finally, turn the keyboard in position, making sure that you screw the connector back Ribbon through to the correct place. Turn the laptop over and re - insert and lock the Ribbon connector (make sure that it is directly and fully forward lock connector). All other connectors back in too. Then come back and push down hard on all sections.

  Re-assembling, taking care to put the 4 mm and 6 mm screws in the right places and a tiny on the side.

  Cross your fingers and turn it on!

  Good luck!

  Thank mate for this review.
  Generally the replacement of keyboard is not really complicated and someone with small technician skills should be able to replace it

• Portege R500 - Toshiba does sell OEM licenses for Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP.
  I have now installed a version of Windows 7 without activation to see if all the drivers are working (Windows 8 is not supported I know).

  Everything looks good and Windows tells me now as planned, it is not authentic and propose to buy the license, but when I go to MS it fails (it seems that MS sells not more Windows 7).

  Toshiba sells licenses for Windows 7 for a R500 OEM?

  It would be a shame to throw it away because of this.

  Thank you
  Markus

  All you can do is to order a Toshiba Recovery disk.
  The recovery disc contains exactly the same operating system that was preinstalled on the laptop on the first day of purchase.

  In your case, this means that you will get the recovery with Win XP OS disk.

  As Timox said: If you want to use the other system than Win XP, you must purchase the Microsoft operating system.

• Portege R500 - cannot remove the password user and supervisor

  Hoping someone can help me with a problem,

  I voluntarily put a password for user and supervisor on one of our Portege R500.
  I know what the password is, but I just want to remove so that I am not prompted for the password whenever the laptop is turned on.

  I seem to be unable to disable this feature, which is a problem that the laptop is about to be reassigned to a differnet use that would be impractical for users to have to put a password on startup.

  He must have a way to disable the password requirement.

  Of course, you can disable this password. Just use the same way you used to.
  It can be done using Toshiba Assist > Secure. You used this way to get into these options, you?

• Portege R500 - remove 'Eject the PC' from the menu pinned using pyrite station

  We run for Toshiba Portege R500 laptop in Windows XP Professional SP2 environment.
  Toshiba tools are installed to allow UN/hot docking on laptops.
  Portege R500 laptop computers come with the Slim Port Replicator docking station.

  During the docking of the laptop, 2 "pinned" items appear in the start menu called 'Eject the PC' and ' Eject PC and sleep. "
  We found that because of our custom build and Toshiba tools, there are a few conflicts.
  Most of these conflicts have been resolved, except for one that was recently found.

  When a user selects the option "Eject PC", it works as expected, however when the user plug their docking station back in, the port replicator is inactive (in other words, all the functions of the mouse, keyboard, cable LAN, etc. which are connected to the Port Replicator become unusable).
  To remedy the situation, a restart of the computer is required to do and everything works then according to normal again.

  To avoid users to do this, is there a way to remove the icons "Eject PC" & "Eject PC and Sleep" be pinned?
  Of course the added items can be deleted under the user's profile, but when the laptop is returned, these added items return.

  I tried to add a few registry keys to see if NoEject can be set to prevent this.

  Hello

  > To avoid users to do this, is there a way to remove the icons "Eject PC" & "Eject PC and Sleep" be pinned?
  It is not known to me
  I think that everything can be changed by using the right registry and value, but I have never tried this.

  But my knowledge of the Toshiba * Mobile Extension * tool controls this function.
  On the page of Toshiba Europe, you might find a more recent version: 3.87.00

  I think you should update this tool.

• Portege R500 - compatibility with Intel SSD 320 160 GB

  I installed an Intel 320 160 GB SSD in my Portege R500 (PPR50E).
  However, the BIOS does not detect the new drive. I updated the BIOS to the 1.60WIN version, the most recent that I found, but the drive is still not detected.

  Is there a possible solution? Or I need to take the drive?
  Thanks for any help

  It must be a problem of compatibility so I don't think you can force Portege to recognize this SSD.
  I'm afraid there is nothing you can do about m.

• Need help with Windows 7 drivers for Radeon HD 7670 m on a preinstalled Windows Pavilion g6-2300sy 8

  Hey, I recently bought a HP Pavilion g6-2300sy with Windows preinstalled 8 and decided to install Windows 7 on it instead, as I'm rates more familiar with it. Now I seem to be running into issues with the Radeon HD 7670 m laptop graphics card, since I can't find a driver that works for her. I tried several generic drivers AMD HD 7000 series, but none of them is not working - Windows continues to give the error code 43.

  How can I fix without going back to Windows 8? Any help would be really appreciated.

  Hello:

  For the g6-2300sy, use the W7 x 64 drivers and software for this model:

  For the graphics, you install only the AMD graphics driver. Do NOT install the Intel driver.  The AMD driver has the graphics for two video cards.

  DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FROM THIS LINK FILES

• Portege R500 - anyone using the DVI Port Replicator II on WIndows 7 Beta?

  Hello
  I'm using the beta version of WIndows 7 on my R500 and runnig it's just well except the DVI Port (on the Port Replicator II Slim).
  I have installed this software Fingreprint, battery bluetooth (which are recommended as a solution by the Action Center) and the 'TOSHIBA value added together"which adds the management software of power supply, control over the 2 hardware buttons and gives the FN menu to the screen to control the functions FN1-9.
  I think I can say it's definatively a driver problem, because if I start the R500, the windows loading screen appears on my screen, but when he switches to the desktop, the external screen turns off and the desktop on the screen of the laptop. Also, no chance to activate via FN + F5.
  I tried with the driver Windows 7 buildin, the latest driver from intel (15.8.3) and the vista driver provided by toshiba (7.14.10.1244), but none of them work: (unlucky
  BTW: the vga output works, but only UNdocked :(
  Does anyone have a solution or a tip what to do or try?

  Hello!

  First of all, I have to say that Windows 7 Beta is as its name the indicates that a beta so there might be some problems and it s not sure that everything works fine with Windows 7 Beta.

  Your problem: you see the second monitor in the display settings? There you can active it and mark the option extend my Windows desktop on this monitor.

  Lastly but not the least you should do an update of the BIOS if you have n t the latest version.

• A challenge difficult: RunDLL not ceases to appear with the error msg... module could not be found. It is because I deleted it. Help me stop this msg.

  Awhile back, I stupidly downloaded Arcade yum. (DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS PROGRAM) Apparently, I thought that I deleted in the uninstall programs, but not completely deleted. This program has always tried to load all types of advertising or not I was on the Arcadeyum site or not. Even after deletion. And I went through all the folders and find all files and erased AY programs.

  Now, I keep getting interrupted by the message: title bar: RunDLL MSG:Error loading C:\users\Paulus\AppData\Local\ArcadeYum\AyHelp.dll

  The specified module could not be found.

  Well, it would be because I removed it manually as I mentioned earlier. I launches the scan to Microsoft security essentials quick scan daily and complete once a week, but that's it. RunDLL program continues to call to load the program. So I guess the question would be: How can I get RunDll to arrest the appellant for a module that does not exist?

  To get knowledge that I have will not load other programs of security due to logic problems, this causes with Security Essentials Program. RunDLL program obviously has a line of code to load the module. How to remove the line or clean the program?

  As I hit anywhere on any program opens the box and my typing does more for a second long enough to make mistakes. Really inconvienient. Thank you.
