  I guess that's your first notebook that supports this nice CPU/GPU performance. You will notice this on all the small notebooks (~ 13). Why? Because the cooling modules are placed on the left and the hot airflow together in this direction.
  I have U400 series. It unites s 13 and the box on the left is too hot because of the cooling modules.

  In addition, the unit supports overheating protection, which means that the laptop stops automatically if the temperature is too high.
  The laptop shut down automatically? Isn't it?
  Well, in this case, the temperature is ok and not too high.

  Of course, you can change settings for Win 7 power management to reduce the CPU and GPU performance, leading to lower the heat dissipation. This keep the temperature at the lower level.

• Re: Button on the upper right does not work on Portege R500

  Hello

  At the top right of my keyboard (Portege R500) theres a button that shows a place in the foreground with a Sun in the background.

  I guess it is a kind of glare/brightness button to be used outdoors.
  However pressing this does nothing.

  Can anyone suggest what's this button and how do I make it work?

  See you soon,.

  I think you're talking about the outdoor switch.

  This backlight button on / off turns on and off the display backlight s.

  Are you sure that you do not notice any difference this button?

  If you turn off the back light outside in good weather, you can use the computer for an extended period.

  Maybe I m wrong, but usually he should be able to configure this button in the power OS Options.

• Portege R500 - unknown button on desktop

  Hello

  I have a Portege R500 and I noticed a small button in the upper left corner of my office (see screenshot, inside a red circle). The button looks a lot like a close button on a window, but if I click it, nothing happens. It appears when I reduce all my open windows. When I press the "View desktop" button in the "Quick Launch bar" However, it is not there.
  Has anyone encountered the same problem or what anyone has any idea whence this button and how do I stop it from appearing?

  Hello

  you have installed ICQ? If Yes, then you know what this "object", it s the sign that ICQ is running in the background. It s also another application that runs in the background and place a symbol somewhere around the desktop computer.

  Could you please tell me what 3rd party applications are installed on your computer? It would be useful to know, perhaps we can understand what the weird symbol...

• Portege R500 - Bad optical drive delays the start - how to fix?

  The Portege R500 has recently begun does not start. Initially there not some time later, frequently. By chance, I discovered that if I left alone for a minute or two, he will continue to start. That and the noise coming from the optical driver, made me suspect the problem was not with the HARD drive, as I feared at first, but with the optical driver.

  I read in the thread below that other people had this problem. MrBear mentions * I pulled it out again and pushed on the Ribbon connecting the CD-ROM to make sure they were safe. Turned on again and he pulled up without problem! *

  Link: [http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=43300&tstart=0]

  Could someone clarify in what ribbons must be treated? Only those who are visible by opening the drive? Or it is necessary to open the notebook?

  Furthermore, if I booted into Windows, it stopped again, for a minute or two, while Windows is loading. With Ubuntu, there is no such problem. Perhaps Windows tries to communicate with the optical driver for some reason any.

  Tnaks for any help!

  Hello!

  Is your laptop still under warranty? If so I put t understand why you try to solve the problem by yourself. Go to the nearest EPA and ask a technician for help. These guys are very useful and they have the most experience on laptop repairs.

  On the Toshiba site, you can search the nearest ASP:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported downloads & => find an authorized service provider

  And the problem with Windows, it is difficult to tell why Windows stops for a minute. Maybe it s a software problem so disable all programs that you start n t need in msconfig.

  Good bye

• Portege R500: How could I access "Toshiba Power Saver" as a user restricted

  Hello

  I have a few related problems and would like to have someone to share knowledge on issues with limited on a portege r500 user rights!

  My question is: how could I access "toshiba power saver" as a user restricted?

  My source of knowledge not administrator is a very sophisticated page of http://blogs.msdn.com/aaron_margosis
  who said that my way to get an administrator back - Box (see: "MakeMeAdmin" - in German windows xp, you must edit the MakeMeAdmin.cmd file and replace the "Administrators" by "Administrators").

  But my problem with "toshiba power saver" is still not resolved.
  So I'd be happy to get information on your und solutions give you my knowledge as well, of course!

  Kind regards

  You can use the feature Toshiba Power Saver Properties-> configuration Options (bottom left button)-> allow a limited user to change settings

• Portege R500 - no response from user password

  Having just taken delivery of a new Portege R500, I tried to make a bluetooth connection when a screen came and asked to set up an administrator and user password. I have set up the password of the user only, typing in only once (but did not arise to confirm). When I turned on the computer again, there was a request for password in the upper right corner. But when I typed in it, nothing happens outside of the computer go after 3 attempts.

  It's the password but I've noticed that when I was putting the origin of the series of * only appeared with the second letter. Is there a simple solution or do I return to the dealers? I have no data on it have only added programs to date.

  Thanks for any advice.

  If there is nothing especially on the HARD drive, I recommend you use the recovery image and make the clean OS install. After doing this there's second chance to establish a Bluetooth connection.

• Portege R500 stronger cooling module

  I have a Portege R500 and Notepad air fan is stronger.
  I tried several cooling profiles (battery optimized Performance, battery, optimized cooling performance) and with all profiles is the fan of the air harder. :(

  Hello

  I think that there is anything wrong with your laptop or cooling modules.
  The cooling module could be little bit stronger due to the fast rotation of fan.

  But the fan must turn more quickly to ensure a good and cooling properly.
  This is necessary and essential to ensure that your internal parts like CPU and GPU overheats not!

  PS: Have you checked settings dynamic CPU frequency mode in Toshiba HWSetup?
  Please check if the frequency was set to dynamically switchable.

  I know that you have changed the settings of day before but let repeat me once again.
  Saving PCI-> enable
  Method of controlling CPU-> auto
  Processing speed of the CPU-> set it to a lower level (left)
  Method of cooling-> lower level (left)

• Where can I find XP x 64 drivers for Portege R500 - hotkey / power management?

  Where can I find the downloads that will enable the power management or hotkey support for my Portege R500?

  I already installed the drivers for everything except the fingerprint reader (do not want), tpm (really envy) and hdd (tos620a) motion sensor (not embarrassed at this time). Most of the drivers are recent original sites of the seller or, in the absence of those, leaving Toshiba 64-bit Vista download areas.

  Everything else works generally: wifi, graphics & chipset, sound, lan, bluetooth stack, cardbus, card reader, etc.

  However, after doing this, are the following questions:

  FN keys do not work for suspend to ram, suspend-to-disk, * screen * brightness *-essential to extend the life. FN keys for digital/Board pad, rocker of external surveillance * work

  Dedicated toggle backlight button does nothing

  However, in order to get the lifetime of battery beyond ~2.5 hours and closest alongside 7.1 hours, I need to turn things down / stop occasionally. What software can help and where I can get, as it runs on Windows XP x 64 edition?

  Note:

  I tried packages of 32-bit xp which provides Toshiba, they do not seem to work on x 64. The package 'chopsticks' requires 'cmod', but 'cmod' gives this error:

  Installation of Modules common TOSHIBA
  Not an ACPI machine. Cannot install TOSHIBA ACPI peripheral logic.
  Ok

  I tried the 32-bit xp package called 'pwrsav '; It installs a bad help link in my Start menu and adds a few exes, tpsmain and tpsoddctl, to my automatically starts. These 32-bit executables left immediately after execution.

  I tried to install packages of 64-bit Vista from Toshiba hotkeys / common modules / power management, but the only one of the three I can find via toshiba.co.uk is the common modules, and unfortunately this zip file contains only .inf, .cat and .sys files, no program installation.

  Motivation:
  I use a new installation at the same time because the default installation of Vista is unusable (900 MB of memory used on a fresh startup desktop, disk divided into several partitions, trial, adware and with broken software at left and right)
  I use x 64 because I am software engineer the next product needs to work on x 64, and this new laptop was a likely first candidate

  Hello

  Bad news first :(

  The European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for XP 32 bit and Vista (32-bit & 64-bit).
  I did find all the drivers for XP 64-bit OS.

  As much as I know XP 64-bit drivers is not exist for one of the series of Toshiba laptops.

  Now a new better ;)

  I found a tool called display Tuner.
  It offers convenient access to the monitor settings, such as brightness, contrast, color settings.

  Perhaps this is an option for you.
  Google a bit

  See you soon

• Well confused. I use click on Favorites in the upper left corner of the screen. I can still but I can't access the properties of the bookmark

  I used to just right click on a bookmark of Bookmark menu in the upper left corner of the screen. Now when I right click on Favorites, I can't get any of the choice to highlight, they are subject, and nothing happens.

• How can I get the little tab of Firefox in the upper left corner of my browser window? He disappeared with the last update

  There is a little tab on the upper left corner of my browser window that says Firefox. I used to be able to hit that and have quick access to history, print etc. rather than working from the menu on the left three lines. How can I get that back?
  Thank you

  It has been replaced by the 3 lines on the side button. You can either use that (it's actually faster to access your frequently used objects) or customize Firefox How to make the new look of Firefox as the old Firefox

  Faster RAM work?

  I do not closely with your Mac model but on my laptop (MacBook late 2008), this is where the CPU is, and that's what generates heat, especially if you do intense CPU activity such as games or video processing.  With warmer summer temperatures, it may run more hot.  There are several utilities that allow you to monitor temperature sensors in your computer.  Hardware Monitor their fact is anything but a commercial utility ($).  I constantly run Mac Fan Control that displays the temperature of some of my sensors.  It does not have the CPU temperature, but I made a comparison between the temperature of the led that she appears and it was showed the average of the two displayed in Hardware Monitor CPU temperatures. First of all, I made sure that my fan and ventilation was clean and I opened the computer and used canned air to blow out the dust. I felt with treatment video it still worked more hot that I liked so I used a utility called CPUthrottle to cut back on the use of the processor in my application of coding. Of course encoding takes more time, but I'm happier with a cooler machine.

  I don't know about the RAM so.  I'll make sure that stick you with a reliable brand that is known to work with the Mac as Crucial and OWC (Macsales.com).  Mac can be really sensitive to something other than the RAM of superior quality.
