• Satellite A500-1GL - Driver NVIDIA GeForce GT300m for Windows 7 32 bit

  Hi, I'm French, I bought this phone 2 weeks ago, and I did a new install of Windows7 32 bit.
  I'm looking for the display driver (for my Nvidia GeForce GT 300 m), but the only one I found is for Windows 7 64 bit :'(

  Do you know if Toshiba will realease a driver? Do I need a specific driver for my laptop? Or can I install the nvidia official driver (when they go out there)?

  Thank you

  Hello Ivan,.

  I checked the Web from Toshiba site and you concerning the right of no display driver for Windows 7 32 bit. :(

  But I think you can use the display to another series of Toshiba laptop driver. I checked the site Web of Toshiba for Satellite P500, you can find a Windows 7 64-bit display driver, and they are also equipped with nVidia graphics cards.
  Check this driver, it should work!

• 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.

  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 upgraded with keyboard backlight, but do not work

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba A500-1GL.
  I wanted to upgrade with a backlit keyboard, so I went to an authorized Toshiba reseller in my area (Portsmouth, UK) and after checking the laptop, they said yes, it supports a backlit keyboard and it cost around 90 pounds (about 140 dollars) the price of the backlit keyboard and the cost of installation.
  So I said okay, let...

  But the keyboard does not work!
  I went back to the place where I bought, and I asked the guy (yet) "are you sure that my laptop takes in charge the backlit? ... He said yes, and in fact he removed the keyboard and showed me 2 connectors (one to attack the keyboard and fix the lighting cable)

  Then. My computer supports portable backlit keyboard... But it's not working!
  I tried to reinstall the package added value, Flash card... Chipset... almost anything!
  But it still does not (it should work when I click Fn + Z)

  What can I do now?

  I can't return the keyboard, because the guy said "sry its now use!
  So, what should I do? Is there something I should install/remove I'm missing or what?

  Any help will be appreciated...

  See you soon.

  Hello

  What to say either the technician has done something wrong or the laptop is not extensible.

  As far as I know the keyboard lighting is controlled by the BIOS.
  In my case, I can disable and enable it in the BIOS.

  I don't know if your BIOS contain this option, but you could check it
  Please note that each model of mobile phone is supported and some BIOS each BIOS is different.

  In my opinion if the BIOS does not support this feature you so would not be able to activate the lighting, even if the keyboard has been installed.

• Satellite A500-1GL chkdsk does not

  I test the command chkdsk on an A500-1GL and this has not worked for some time. The laptop has been upgraded to SP1 and is W7 HP.

  I tried chkdsk /f /r C: from the command line as administrator and as this by tools-error checking. But on reboot, nothing happens (i.e. I just get a normal restart).

  Any ideas? I would rather not reinstall or repair if possible.

• 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.

• Satellite A500-1GL - software cooling question

  Not so long ago, my favorite laptop A500-1GL began to annoy me with overheating. Average temperature of GPU in State of rest was 100? (CPU - 38-40 ° C). When I tried to play the game or to view HD videos, temperature rise up to 105-107 C, then the laptop turns off automatically. The fan speed is not maximum (I know, cause I remember how strong it was months ago, when I played something like second StarCraft), I think it's constantly at 60% of its speed interesting thing, it was that this fan is a not speed up exactly before the emergency stop, your stay in these 60%. Some people talk about BIOS problem. I've updated the BIOS with the latest version. The problem remains. Then I tried to reinstall the Toshiba Power Saving utility. Nothing has worked. But I noticed that when I change the method of cooling, fan speeds up, cool laptop at normal temperature (GPU included) until the moment where the rotation speed is about 60% of the max. Then everything happens from the beginning - fan still at 60%, temperature of the GPU runs at 100 degrees, all bad breed. Looks like software problem.

  I uninstalled Toshiba Power Saver and now there's a thing. When the laptop is turned on, the fan is quiet (very well, as it used to be). If I won't use it application high req., all right. Once, I try to use this kind of applications, up to 70% fan speed (its a little louder than with GST) then it stucks there. The good thing is that the temperature of the GPU is not so high and idle, the bad news, it's now that I can't work with hard long apps - once stuck fan, minutes later GPU temperature causes stop to avoid damage.

• Satellite A500-1GL - noisy fan

  Hello

  I recently bought a Toshiba A500 1GL. No sooner had started kicking fan who is very very loud and continuous.
  I thought it might have been that a fault was the laptop replaced because she is less than 28 days.

  The new laptop does the same thing, the fan is so noisy.
  I can't concentrate on work as such a sensation that I will not use the laptop.

  I have two other laptops Toshiba and nor do anywhere near as much noise and are not on as often.
  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  Fan activities depend on the heat dissipation!
  There is a simple explanation; more the CPU and GPU, the higher heat dissipation and a higher temperature which requires stronger and faster fans!

  If don t wonder about this fact!
  What you can do is to allow the Eco utility.
  You can also change some settings and the option in Windows 7 power management!

  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
