• F2 BIOS SET-UP button stopped working on the Satellite A500-1GL

  I recently bought a Satellite A500-1GL
  The use of the F2 key at startup to access the BIOS worked fine until I changed the settings in BIOS to get a faster position for Windows 7, then after this change, that the F2 key gets me to the BIOS, the computer laptop just posts to Windows 7.

  I downloaded and installed Hardware Set Up program of Toshiba which adjusts the BIOS settings while still in Windows, but how the "F2" to work again?
  I thought changing the hard drive might work, but it did not.
  I seemed to have lost access to the bios using the F2 key.

  > changed the settings in the BIOS to get a faster position for Windows 7
  Now to maybe stupid question, but what is the name of this option?

  When you start your laptop you see on the background info on the use of F2 to enter the BIOS settings, or too?

• Satellite A500-1GL: recovery reached Office Reboot again and again - solved

  I did a restore on my Satellite A500-1GL using F8 to recovery on the HARD drive.

  However after the computer goes through the implementation of Windows 7 for the first time, from desktop it immediately disconnects and restarts.

  This process of setting up Windows for the first time, including initialization screen white with logoff bar then immediate green and stop constantly repeats.

  Same result with Recovery CD I created again.

  It is no longer an option to repair the computer when you press F8.

  Any suggestions please?

  If I end up having to reinstall Windows 7 from another copy, then how can I go about it like
  Windows 7 license serial number rubbed off the label on the bottom of the laptop?

  Thanks in advance.

  -It turns out that he must restart about 6 - 7 times to complete the installation.

  Hello

  As I see that everything is fine. It is logical that laptop restarts several times while recovery facility is running. I do not know how it looks with your machine, but when I use the recovery machine it starts with the number 1/64. With other words, it must be installed 64 components (software) and then some of them laptop restarts simply but installation will continue.

  When the recovery image is complete it is still displayed on the screen and the laptop owner is notified that installation of recovery has been completed successfully.

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite A500-1GL - service Intel RST does not

  Hi all

  Looks like I'll have a series of problems. I just noticed this message on my Satellite A500-1GL and I was wondering what this means and how do I solve it? When I clicked it, I got a pop up saying that he was trying to connect to the service, but nothing happened. I don't know the logo normally has a green but now has a yellow check! I tried a reboot, but it remains the same.

  Can someone explain what it is and what I need to do to fix it?

  Thanks a lot again
  Torti

  Hi torti,.

  I put also don't know much about it but I searched a bit using Google, and it seems that Intel RST means Intel Rapid Storage Manager for hard disks.

  If you Google, you will be advised to reinstall in page Intel or Toshiba.

  As you can see, Google can answer most of the questions. ;)

• Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) turns itself on at 08:20 every morning

  * The machine is * shut down * every night, (hibernation or suspended), usually between 23:00 and 01:00.
  * I was * stop * switch wifi on the case of the machine every night after his stop, (because I was wondering if the problem came from wake-up-on-lan).
  * I've been unplugging all the usb devices on the machine after
  * I have even unplugged my helmet just in case it makes a difference, (it's not)...

  I was leaving the unit plugged in, but there has been no interruption of power any since I got the machine.

  There is no one else at home when this happens, and I have no pets!

  I'm completely puzzled as to why the machine turns on, (and almost exactly the same time each day!)

  Anyone have any ideas here?

  Thank you

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• Re: Differences between Satellite L505-144, L555 - 11K and Satellite A500-1GL

  What are the main differences between L505-144, L555 - 11K and A500-1GL?

  They are the same price and seem to be very similar, with only small differences in processing power, graphics and sound.

  What is the best model?

  Hello

  I think you should take a look on the page of specification for Toshiba laptop and need to compare two specifications:

  * Satellite L505-144 *.
  http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-L505-144/1081190/

  * Satellite A500-1GL. *
  http://de.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/product/satellite-A500-1GL/1080934/toshibaShop/false/

  Satellite L505-144 was released in the United Kingdom and the Satellite A500-1GL was published in Germany.

  L505-144 supports more rapid and better CPU, it was delivered with Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit. It supports rather than ATI GPU nVidia but the HARD drive is smaller than 320 GB instead of 500 GB

• Satellite A500-1GL - slow WiFi

  Bought a Satellite A500-1GL, because he promised performance a few weeks ago and I was disappointed.
  Lasts longer the laptop much longer than children should start up, but this isn't the painful question, I had struggled to trouble.
  When connected to the router it downloads to 9,46 Mb/s but I bought a laptop for mobile convenience.
  When there is wireless download speed gives a very painful 0.09 Mb/s.
  Here's what I've tried so far.

  Seller told me it was a problem of Internet Explorer and download Firefox.
  It took nearly an hour and has not made a difference.
  I disabled the virus checking and firewall individually and collectively and no help.

  Was told to change the channel on the router, I've done and no difference.

  Then said that if I changed the TX auto at 100% power level the problem should be solved.
  Download but always at the same painful level.

  Laptop of the child works very well exactly in the same places in the House, at 9 more Mbps, where my brand new Toshiba crawls to 0.09, or sometimes 0.10 MB/s.

  I also tried to turn all devices wireless into house arrest, but it did not help.

  Can someone help me please. I'm at my wits end and regretting spending so much money on this «high-performance notebook»

  Oh, I'm on Windows 7, have updated the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and am ready for the hills.

  Help! ................................please!

  Have now updated the WLAN and the BIOS (?) but still not good.
  A lot of reading of problems like that of machines Toshiba.
  Really thought it was a good brand.
  Blood pressure is very high.
  I guess I'll be back tomorrow and get my money back.
  Not suitable for use, it was sold.

• Satellite A500-1GL - Video driver not responding

  Help, please!

  Thank you

  Hello

  The version of the video driver 275.33 is not an official version of Toshiba. I checked the Web from Toshiba site and for your model of laptop (model PSAR9E number) version 8.16.11.8875 is the most recent. So I recommend installing this display driver because it s pre-tested Toshiba designed for your model of laptop display driver.

  I hope that helps! :)
