• Re: Portege R600 - port replicator is compatible with regional products?

  Community of greetings from Toshiba,

  I need to buy laptops for several employees who are moving between the United States, the United Kingdom and the Middle East.
  The Portege R600 exist in all 3 markets, but each has a slightly different part number.

  The part number Replicator of compatible Port to the R600 is difference to the United Kingdom, the United States and the Middle East.
  Users would be able to dock their laptops in one of the 3 offices, because they travel extensively between each country.

  What's the Slim Port Replicator II (PA3603U-1PRP) and Slim Port Replicator III (PA3681E-1PRP) compatible with each of the products of the soil of Portege R600?

  United Kingdom Replicator of ports Slim Portege R600-11B (PPR61E-01G00CEN) III (PA3681E-1PRP)
  Middle East Replicator of ports Slim Portege R600-10 b (PPR61E-00F00MAR) 2 (PA3603E-1PRP)
  USA, Portege R600-S4201 PPR60U - 01700C Slim Port Replicator II (PA3603U-1PRP)

  Hello

  I think that it shouldn't be a problem with the different Portege R600 in combination with the Slim Port Replicator 3.

  Portege R600-11b, R600-10 b belongs to the same series (PPR61E), that the R600 US belongs to the PPR60U, but this should t be a problem.

  As far as I know the different R600 from different regions are not really different (some belongs to the same series) as far as I know there could be a difference between some pre-installed applications and some modules as for example the card wireless network, but this should not affect the use of Slim Port Replicator 3.

• Portege R500 - toggle the display of the laptop to LCD projector screen

  Hello - new here, urgent request. We have a meeting, and I use the Portege R500 for the first time with LCD projector which is also a Toshiba.

  How do the laptop screen display the projection screen? I thought it was function F5 (Fn + F5), but it does not work.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Yes, you must use the FN + F5 to switch to the external monitor or external projector, etc.
  You must first connect the laptop with a projector, while both devices are turned off.
  After connecting the projector you could power the laptop.

  Then try to switch to external projector using the FN + F5 key combination

• Toshiba Portege R500 - external display display problem

  At my work, we have a number of series laptops Toshiba Portege R500. All laptops are home in a Toshiba Slim Port Replicator II. Laptops are all running a version of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 2 applied (and of course a few customization business).

  The problem is with the display on the external monitor. The laptop starts according to the normal and connects to the fine. The Fn + F5 key and so we can switch between the external LCD screen and the laptop monitor. We can also extend the desktop on the external monitor without problem.

  The problem is that when the disconnection of the laptop computer to the port replicator, when the laptop is brought back, the display of the external monitor does not display anything. The monitor receives a signal that we don't get errors about "cable disconnected" etc. By bike by Fn + F5, the monitor will go to sleep (as the adjustment is only to be on the laptop screen). By pressing Fn + F5 again, the monitor seems to wake up but there is no display on the external monitor.

  The only resolution we have found because so far, it's to stop & restart the laptop and the external screen works again. However detach and the problem occurs again.

  Thought this might be a driver problem or a problem of Toshiba Utilities, so have updated the drivers accordingly. The drivers installed by default are the Intel 945 Express 6.14.10.4837 driver version. I tried to update the drivers for the next version (using drivers from the Web from Toshiba site) and changes to the version of the driver 6.14.10.4631. I also tried the Intel driver version 14324.

  I also installed the Toshiba screen utilities and shortcut keys to see if this may have an effect, but unfortunately not. I also tried to change the BIOS settings for the display of 'Automatic Selection' to LCD + CRT RGB, and once again it has no effect. I also tried several configurations in the "display settings" does not.

  Is this just a design problem? Is anyway to fix that?

  Hello

  I Portege R500 in front of me with the same port replicator and 21 "Toshiba TFT display (connected to the DVI port on the Port Replicator).

  Please open "Toshiba Mobile Extension" utility (you can find it in Control Panel), then click on the second tab > change of display service.
  If please activate this service and choose your preferred display output.

  I tested it 10 minutes ago and it works perfectly.

• Using dual-boot provided drive recovery XP on Portege R500 - 11 c

  I have a new Portege R500 - 11 c that came with Vista Business installed, but has also a recovery disk XP Pro as a Vista recovery disk. Also, the laptop came with a partitioned hard drive.

  I would use the XP Recovery disk to install XP on the 2nd partition (drive E), without deleting Vista, while I have a dual-boot machine. Anyone know if this is possible, perhaps using the expert mode and standard?

  Hello Elanor

  Just a short comment to this:

  > When I asked Toshiba support if I could use these discs to a machine with dual-boot, they said no, that the XP > recovery disk would erase the Vista installation - but the posts here think otherwise!

  I don't know on which positions you think, but I'm also sure that you can not use two DVD recovery with different operating systems to install two operating systems and dual-boot. Unfortunately I do not have the opportunity to test this, but as far as I know, you can not install recovery image on disk unallocated space.

  Just for example: If you are using Vista recovery DVDs and install the OS on the new partition using the CONFIGURATION option (for example, you can take 50% of the capacity of the HARD disk) by using recovery second DVD (WXP) you will not be able to choose as favorite place second partition to install Windows XP Home edition. You can just do the same as with the Vista recovery image.

  For the recovery of laptops old menu was different and using the expert mode, it is possible to choose an already existing partition for the installation of the OS.

  If you have time please test and give some feedback. It can be very useful for al of us info.

• Re: Portege R500-125 - Vodafone 3 G SIM card - what to do!

  I recently bought a Portege R500 125. It is size excellent performance wise, wise, specs, weight, etc. But the most important feature for me was the 3G feature.

  Opening the box and instructions (guia rapido) there was no mention about the card 3 G slot at all, I got a quick glance around the laptop and could not find shelter. Then, I wondered if I had indeed bought the laptop, looked good the box and he defeinitely said 3G.

  So I came to the forum support and picked up a thread saying that the SIM card slot was behind the battery in the range Portege and Tecra. Hey presto, he was there. I thought, excellent put SIM card in and run the mobliink software. I started the mobilink software and he said Vodafone UK on the interface graph of the application user. Click on connect and it would start saying "connection" and then would just go back to "Ready".

  Next step was to call the Toshiba support, they told me that I had to download the update of the Novatel Wireless of the download site VER 10.9 driver I think. In addition, they said that YOU SHOULD NOT USE THE MOBILINK SOFTWARE TO CONNECT! I was told to use the Vodafone VISTA software to connect. Thus obtained on the Vodafone site and downloaded the 9.3.0 software, also reviewed the read me document (do not usually do this and guess what he mentioned that it supports Novatel V10.9), so I was well on my way, I thought! Not yet!

  Downloaded the Novatel Wireless driver and then install the Vodafone software. Pulled up the Vodafone software and he said "mobile deveice is detected" and that's all. It does not search for networks. So I thought lets try one more thing. I removed the SIM card from the laptop and put the SIM card in the original PC card. Once I put the PC data card in, it installed some drivers and then he said that it has been installed successfully. Then the times of crisis! , launcehed the Vodafone software and hey presto, we have a signal and a connection! SUCCESS.

  Now for the acid test. Put the SIM card in the laptop launched the software, the first message on the screen - 'mobile device detected' then 'search network', then to the last 'Vodafone 3 G', you press the button connect and we had a connection.

  It seemed a long drawn from the process, but arrived in the end. I think using the data card, it installs several structural factors that Vodafone and Portege software must have to operate successfully. I think it would be the same approach for the 3G SIM card Vodafone not only.
  _In summary_

  * Update of Novatel Wireless Drivers (V10.9) Portege downloads
  To install the Vodafone Vodafone (V9.3.0) Vista driver. co.UK
  * Insert data with 3G SIM card (wait drivers are installed and message that says "drivers installed successfully")
  Launch of software Vodafone and connect - wait for a successful connection
  * Remove the SIM and data card
  * Install the SIM card in the Portege (behind the battery, then lock it in position)
  Launch of Vodafone software and connect (DO NOT USE MOBILINK)

  I hope this helps.

  Wow. That s a great statement!

• Portege R500 - Nokia PC suite does not work with Bluetooth

  Hello

  Toshiba bluetooth + nokia pc suite works DO NOT!

  I have problem with Portege R500. Toshiba Bluetooth stack 6.40 (from the download page) is not compatible with the new Nokia PC suite 7.1.
  PC Suite only works with Toshiba Bluetooth stack, driver version 5.10.12. PC Suite indicates that bluetooth can not be found.

  * See the system requirements for PC suite

  http://Europe.Nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/Nokia-Ovi-Suite/system-requirements

  Where can this 5.10.12 version be downloaded for 64-bit operating system? I just need for the trial which would even work.

  Help, please!

  Hello

  I'm not very well if you want to get an older version of battery BT m.
  On this Toshiba Bluetooth portal, you can get the new version 6.40.00 BT
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

  But I don t understand why it should not work with c. 6.40
  I think that Nokia system requirements were created before the release of version 6.40...

  However, if newest PC suite 7.1 is not compatible with the BT 6.4 then I recommend that you test the battery Microsoft Bluetooth...

• No option of virtualization in the BIOS with the Portege R500

  Hello

  Thought I'd post a new thread as the old man seems to be dead...

  I just want to know if someone has been able to use an extensions of virtualization Portege R500 processor, Linux, Windows or any other OS. I guess that this will become a requirement of mainstream with windows 7 now out.

  If you have been able to use it, could you please put your laptop model correct (it should be on a sticker on the bottom)

  This was my original post, showing that the CPU must support her:

  I HAV a Portege R500 (or a model equivalent, bought the Japan), v BIOS 1.60 and everytime I try to use applications that supports virtualization extensions, I can't. I use linux as my OS, and he tells me that the virtualization extensions have been disabled by the BIOS.

  However, I can't find an option for this in the BIOS! R500 manual (form available from the toshiba support area), there should be an option, just after "core multi processing", I can see:

  Virtualization technology
  Sets of virtualization technologies enable or disable the Intel Virtualization
  Technology installed in the processor.
  Virtualization technology Intel is the technique that allows a machine to
  operated under the name of multiple virtual machines.
  Virtualization technology is compatible with some models.
  The disabled command does not use the Intel Virtualization
  Technology.
  The use of Intel Virtualization Technology Enabled command.
  Virtualization technology allows.
  Activated
  Disables (default) virtualization technology.
  People with disabilities

  But it isn't here!

  In addition, I see that virtualization is supported by the processor - the 'vmx' flag is present. The processor is model U7600, it should be supported. You can see from the Intel Web site:

  http://processorfinder.Intel.com/details.aspx?sSpec=SLV3W

  Anyone know if it is available through he windows BIOS app (although it is not documented in the manual)? Anyone know if it is possible to contact Toshiba and ask them?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Are you sure there is NO virtualization option in the BIOS?
  Have you checked all the pages?

  I found your other thread on the clearing of password and you said this doesn t work, but maybe it works you need to check the VT option yet!

  More as you say, the processor must support the VT to VT option in the BIOS the Intel Core 2 Duo processor ULV U7600 support VT

  As far as I know there are also a few sets of cell phones where the VT option is not available in the BIOS, but if the processor takes in charge the VT VT is enabled by default as well as the VT option is not present in the BIOS.

• Portege R500 - low volume with Win 7 and Realtek driver

  Hello

  I have now installed Windows 7 on my R500 to prepare for the end of Windows XP to life.
  I've experienced this now with Windows 7 sound does not really work.

  Build-in speaker does not work and a speaker connected to the outside with amplifier can get just a little sound in the maximum amplification I googled and saw many people having similar problems.

  Does anyone know if Toshiba has a solution for this?

  Other people with laptop computers Portege have the same problem?

  Thank you
  Markus

  AFAIK the Portege R500 supports Realtek ALC262
  I googled and found some people having problems with low sound volume on other laptops from other manufacturers using the piece ALC262

  But I found the solutions :)
  Download the utility of small noise turn Mute Off after upgrade to Vista
  [Its utility to turn Mute Off | http://support.toshiba.com/support/viewContentDetail?contentId=1671893&pf=true] and unzip it with WinRAR or WinZip

• Portege R500 - problem with roaming

  Hello

  I use the laptop Toshiba Portege R500. Computer works well, however I had a problem with the connection to the internet from abroad. I use Novaltel Moblink application and modem integrated - on the territory of the Poland, internet connection is working without problem, but abroad there is no link (tested in Czech Republic and Austria). Operating system - Windows Vista Business SP1. When the external modem (PCCard) and GlobeTrotter application is used, then internet woks without reservation.

  Any help will be appreciated.

  Jacek

  If I understand the problem, you are the Poland and this card doesn t work in other countries.

  What is your mobile card is activated for use abroad?

  For me it doesn t look like a laptop but problem the problem of the map.

  You contact the mobile service provider and ask for clarification!

• Portege R500: external monitor does not work with the Port Replicator Port 2 and DVI

  I have a Portege R500 running Vista with a slim Port Replicator II and digital monitor Viewsonic.
  I connected the monitor to the DVI port on the port replicator and got it to work OK.
  Press fn + F5 would switch between the computer screen and the external monitor.

  Then it stopped working, and I can't make it work at all. F5 recognizes just the laptop screen.

  If I connect an analog display, it is fine, and I can pass between the two screens without difficulty.

  The strangest thing is that, if I reboot when the Portege R500 is docked, the digital monitor begins by displaying the boot sequence, but then the signal is lost as soon as the screen stops the display of the progress (in low resolution) bar.

  I spent an hour on the phone to support Friday, and he made me nowhere.
  They finished by saying that he should never have worked! So what is the DVI port because then?

  Any ideas?

  David

  Connect your monitor directly to your laptop and see if it is recognized and you can go through FN + F5 between the two views.
  If it works, then connect with port replicator, and then try again.

  It's probably best if you reinstall display drivers. Maybe there are new too on the download page.
