• Problem with my Satellite P500-12F HDMI

  When I plug the HDMI cable into the port on the computer, the system generates the message "Connected TV haven't is either not turned on, is in sleep state or does not support REGZA-LINK (HDMI Control)" my computer screen then empties and my desktop appears on television, whereas it should be on both screens. Also, the HDMI option disappeared from my PowerDVD program as well.

  I received a message from Tempro Download Manager control HDMI a few days ago that I did, but when I checked the updates, it tells me the last of them was 13/11/09 without reference to it the latter.

  I checked the cables and ports on the TV, I can't think what I can do.

  But your TV is already turned on, right? Is also enabled on TV HDMI port?

  This happens only? Can you use the FN + F5 key combination and select other options?

  Have you noticed such behavior in the past?

  Hey Buddy,

  I assume you mean the WIFI connection, right?
  If so, you should check if the WLAN driver installed proplerly or you can see yellow exclamation in Device Manager?

  I put t know what OS you have, but for most versions of Windows, you can download more recent WLAN driver on the official website of Toshiba. What (s) worth a try:

• Satellite P500 - blue screen on webcam whenever I try to use Skype

  Whenever I try to use Skype all I get is a blue screen where my webcam should be. I checked to see if my webcam doesn't work at all, and all I get is the web cam iniliziation failed Please check device and restart.

  I tried this but nothing helped. I also tried to reinstall the camera and update the drivers. Still nothing.
  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I was told that if I update the BIOS it might be useful, but I also said that this could screw up the laptop completely...

  Brenton

  In front of me, I have Satellite P500 and I use it almost a year now. Since the first day I use it with Win7 preinstalled original and Skype.
  Up to now, I have strength to have one problem with cam or Skype. Everything works fine.

  Are you using the original pre-installed OS? Since when you noticed this problem?
  You can use cam with other applications?
  Cam is listed in Device Manager?

• Satellite P500-12D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected.

  Hi there everyone,

  I bought a Satellite P500-12D, which was a return of retail. When I start it up it runs a few minutes and then it appears on the screen:
  WARNING: A problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service.

  Follow the health of toshiba CPU is less than 50% temp and if it goes much higher that the cooling fan turns on and it lowers down and the fan stops again, I noticed that only the fan works r/h to cool the cpu, both should come together? What is a software problem?

  TThe unit is new without even the plastic off the surround screen or webcam. Any help or even point me in the right direction would be much appreciated, gary

  Hello

  Which program gives you this error message about the cooling system?

  Before contacting a service partner, as you can read in the error message, you must clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. Maybe dust blocking the fan or something else. Of more to clean up it of not necessary to disassemble.
  Here is an article on this topic: [how to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  If it doesn't help, contact the nearest service partner.

• Satellite P500 - cannot increase the brightness of the screen

  I have a new Satellite P500.

  The problem I have is that if I have the power shut off for several hours I lose the ability to increase the brightness of the screen. I can get increased brightness to level 4 and when I increase level 8 the brightness down. If I go down, the screen goes black. The only solution I found is to turn off the power, remove the battery, put it back in and power on.

  Help would be greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate,

  It's a bit confusing...
  In addition, it would be interesting to know what OS you are using. Normally, if you are running OS preinstalled from Toshiba, everything should work properly.

  So in your case, I would try to update the BIOS which you can find here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Sorry, but everything that s what I can say at the moment.

  Well, I try to summarize what has happened so far.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P500-190 has started acting as each task is too big for him, constantly showing disk hard loading, programs did not respond for a while... then I ran the reconverty tool, reset the c drive, the problem still there.

  I ran all the error detection of characteristics of pc, no hardware problems or software detected. So I installed malwarebytes anti-malware and ran a scan, it finds errors, but before I could act, the program froze again no response. Press ctrl alt del, black screen, no response... reboot. Now my dosent pc even trying to start windows, only error detection program and each restart goes like this, even after going through the program as it is said.
  I tried to get to the other menus of repair, but it says I must be logged in to do this.

  Any ideas how to continue?

  Hi bug

  Please reinstall the recovery image and boot OS without having to install additional stuff.
  Do not connect to the internet and check the functionality. Open some pre-installed apps and see if they will not work correctly.

  Play around with these factory settings and let us know if there is a problem.

  Hello

  May I ask if you have checked the system requirements for Civilization 4 first? Before you try to play a game, you should check the system requirments. Is the laptop fast enough and very important: the graphics card is compatible with this game?
  Check this box!

  If you meet the system requirements make sure that the latest Toshiba display driver is installed. Don t use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesn t have a protection against overheating.

  And you have installed the latest version of DirectX?

  Hi Sammole,

  Sinus a few days that I have too many Satellite P500. I must say that it s a very big book, I love it. The screen is really good and big and in my opinion the best option for games, videos and other multimedia stuff. In addition it s equipped of the fast processor and a graphics card, ideal for playing games.

  All my games work well so I put t know what has happened to you. Make sure that the eco mode isn't active, this will slow down the performance.
  Also make sure that the most recent display Toshiba driver is installed and the latest version of Microsoft DirectX.

  Also check homepage of Splinter Cell. There may be an update (patch) available who can help you. :)

• Satellite P500 - freezing when inactive, the his and other questions

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P500 (bought in January) with Windows 7 and I've always had and some problems with it since I bought it:

  -First of all, my serial number is not for the toshiba Web site, which is annoying when I want to update my drivers. In addition, automatic detection does not work. And when AI attempt to manually select the model, the only available is the "P500-1GN' (I'm sure that my model is just"P500").

  -Second, sometimes, when I don't touch my computer for a few minutes/hours, it freezes and I can't do anything on this subject, I just reboot it. Sometimes, I take just the mouse, the cursor still moves but I can't click on anything and 5 seconds later, the cursor hangs also. Another time, I was chatting on Skype (voice chat) without touch to the computer and when I will come back, the seams of frozen screen, I couldn't do anything with the keyboard or the mouse, but I could still chat with Skype.

  -Thirdly, I also have some problems of sound. When I listen to music and do nothing on the computer, no problem. But if I do something (like go on inernet, copiing files, etc...), I have some very annoying noise interference. I try with the speakers and headphones, it's the same thing.

  -Fourth, less annying, then the others. When I type a text on the keyboard, somethings, the cursor from writing just go somewhere random in the text (it happens twice while I was typing this message...).

  I tried to do a factory restore. Also, I have a version update of Avast, Spybot and Comodo Firewall, but I can not find the cause of these problems. I am wandering if I should ask for a replacement or something...

  So... can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.
  Oh and sorry for my bad English.

  LOL: D didn't you notice that the Toshiba driver page contains the series of laptop and has no lists the unique laptop models?
  Satellite P500-1GN is a part of the series PSPGSE call with P500 PSPGSE

  > Second, sometimes, when I don't touch my computer for a few minutes/hours, it freezes and I can't do anything on this subject, I just reboot it.

  This may be related to different issues; problem in the system, memory problem, etc. graphics driver problem
  However, check the advice posted by Akuma; try disabling the USB selective suspension tuning"in the Advanced Power Options

  > Thirdly, I also have some problems of sound. When I listen to music and do nothing on the computer, no problem. But if I do something (like go on inernet, copiing files, etc...), I have some very annoying noise interference. I try with the speakers and headphones, it's the same thing.

  Update the audio driver is worth a try

  > Fourth, less annying, then the others. When I type a text on the keyboard, somethings, the cursor from writing just go somewhere random in the text (it happens twice while I was typing this message...).

  I had the same problem with the cursor, but it wasn't a really a problem. This is the reason why the cursor jumped around I touchpad the touchpad accidentally while typing.

• Need your opinion on Satellite P500-1DX

  Hello

  I think buying a P500-1DX because it looks good on paper but there are a limited number of customers online, so I was hoping that those who have had experience with the laptop could post their comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the machine. I'm mostly multimedia oriented.

  Thank you
  Schlosser

  I've been using Satellite P500-128 nearly 6 months now and I can say that I am very satisfied. I use it primary for my work by using internet and Microsoft Office.

  When I have the time I use it with Skype for conference call with my friends. Cam functionality and the microphone is just great. From time to time, I watch movies and do multimedia usual stuff like connection digital camera for photo data transfer or movies, burns or copy on external HARD disk or DVD media.

  The performance is really good, and so far I have t did not notice any problems with it.
  The display is optimal. I love this screen 18. The sound is amazing and I can just recommend you to buy this machine.

  It is large enough for laptop and maybe not the best for mobile use, but if you want to use it at home for private use and entertainment, it's really the right solution.
  The price is OK and for the price, you will get a piece of hardware.

• Can satellite P500-12D - I use the nVidia drivers?

  The latest NVIDIA drivers on update from Toshiba website are 8.15.11.8642, but there are newer versions on the NVIDIA site. I would like ot update the NVIDIA drivers but I have any difficalties.

  I tried to install version 195.62 (Win7 64 bit) for the Geforce 200 M series fron the NVIDIA SITE but installation is not complete. I get the message: "Setup NVIDIA didn't find all the drivers that are compatible with your current hardware. The installation program will now stop. »

  Toshiba only allows their own versions of the drivers? Is there a way to enable the NVIDIA drivers to istall?

  Hello

  Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

  Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

  Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

• Satellite P500 - BIOS disappeared

  Hello

  hope that you will contribute to a desperate situation.
  I had a satellite p500 dual boot win 7 64 and 32, although the 64 installation has become corrupted so I had to re - install.
  Everything was going well until I installed a few Toshiba updates, including 2.9 bios to winphlash.

  Now:
  Instead of appearing the BIOS, there is the following text:
  "CPU = 1 processor detected, cores per processor = 4
  Intel (R) Core (TM) i7 Q720 CPU @ 1.6 mhz
  Fixed disk 0: Toshiba [letters]
  System Configuration data update"

  So the choice of start-up appear (win 7 32 or 64).
  However, when you try to start the 64 it says there is an error which must be attached with the original windows disc.

  The main problem is that it is not possible to get into the BIOS to F2/8/10/12, escape, Ins.
  In addition, it is not possible to start using the disk drive.

  However, WIn 32 works perfectly.

  I tried to use winphlash to reflash the bios (using current versions of 2.9 and 2.8), but it says "can not Flash the bios. Error-144 "which, after googling seems to be an error that appears if attempting to Flash the bios on the power of the battery - if I use the grid.

  It seems that others have also had problems after the upgrade of their bios.
  Any help would be appreciated. I tried to fix this for about 9 hours now, and I'm living overseas, it is difficult to find a Toshiba service station.

  Thank you!

  Bart

  Hi mate

  Try pressing F12 at the beginning of the startup procedure.

  This will help you display the start on-screen menu.
  There you can switch between different sources such as drive HARD, CD/DVD, USB, LAN, etc.

  Here, you choose the ODD (CD/DVD drive) as a source of startup if you want to boot from the recovery disc.

  Good luck
