• Re: Cannot use remote control with my Satellite P20

  I just got hold of a PSP20E and the remote control (2 of them) does not work, the light blinks but that's all. When I try to set up in the Media Center settings, I get the message unable to detect the remote sensor.

  I was told by the previous owner it was working, the only thing I've done is to adapt to a new DVD (TEAC DV-W28E) player and loads of recommended Windows updates. The BIOS version is 1.6 and I'm under Win XP MCE (sp2). Any ideas would be welcome.
  Either by the way, I write a BIOS updated on a CD, or do I have to buy a floppy drive?

  Hello, Alan

  I used Satellite P20 over 2 years and I never noticed any problem with the small remote control. I guess you bought second-hand laptop and in my opinion, the first things you need to do is install the OS via recovery CD.

  When the laptop to factory settings, you must test the operation of the equipment, in particular the use remote control. Recovery image is designed so that everything should work. If this isn't the case, it may be just because of a malfunction of the equipment. As I've already said I used this laptop long enough and never noticed any problems.

  To be honest I didn t make updates because the BONE was very well set up. As I said, you can test it with recovery image.

  The BIOS update you need floppy drive.

• Satellite A500-1GL - graphic card problem and overheating

  TOSHIBA SATELLITE A500-1GL - I almost year.
  Already, the first problem appeared immediately after the purchase.
  After a telephone conversation with the service and install some problem driver disappeared but unfortunately it was another, computer laptop start overheating especially on games but evan on movies more make strange noise.
  I ve already used about 7 different cooling pads but none of them helped, I change the fan settings, cleaning by compressed air did not help at all.

  Is there a way I can fix this?

  Should I send it to Toshiba as it is still under warranty?

  Can you please tell us what is the first problem?
  To be honest, you should let Toshiba service to check this and give you 100% of mobile working.

  What you want to do? If the same symptoms are there even if laptop with factory settings, I think it is certainly the issue of guarantee.

• Re: I spilled my drink on my keyboard for Satellite A500-1GL

  I accidentally spilled a drink on my keyboard of my Toshiba Satellite A500-1GL.
  I turned off the laptop immediately and it dried out.
  It is currently left until I have an answer.

  Note: I spilled the liquid about 1/4 of the keyboard.

  _thank you. _

  Hello

  You should turn the unit upside down and have to wait as the dry reel.
  In the best of cases that the unit should turns correctly but it could be possible that your motherboard or another party as a RAM module or keyboard could be affected.

  Something similar happened to my girlfriend s book. In my case the RAM module was dead and laptop could no longer starts up I have replaced the RAM and was happy to see the Toshiba homepage

• 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: it is advisable to remove the battery when you use the network

  I know this is a silly question but its actually something I know not so thought I would ask.

  I almost always plug my laptop into the supply line (satellite a500 1gl)
  I was wondering have you actually keep the battery installed even when using the electrical network.
  Or is it really advisable to remove the battery when you use the network?
  I didn't know if the battery should always be in place.
  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  A few years ago it was recommended to remove the battery of the laptop if the AC adapter is plugged. What keeps the constant charge battery
  New age of batteries are better you can leave the battery in the Bay it s ok and it should not affect the performance

  However, sooner or later each battery would die it s only a matter of time, you know

• Satellite A500-1GL: what are the essential drivers for Win7 64 bit

  Hello

  First of all, sorry for my English, I'm french :)

  Second, I'm going to buy this PC next month and I have the opportunity to buy it without a Windows license (I'm already a Windows license).
  So I'm lost to find the drivers on the download page, because there are several versions of drivers (for example drivers: Nvidia or Realtek Semiconductor Corporation)

  (Important drivers) drivers I need to download once to install Windows Seven 64-bit.

  Thirdly, I would like to know if it is possible to install display drivers downloaded from the Web of Nvidia site and not that of Toshiba?

  Thanks for your help :)

  Berillions

  Hello

  > So I'm lost to find the drivers on the download page, because there are several versions of drivers
  Satellite A500-1GL is a part of the PSAR9E series. If you need drivers then you must choose Satellite A500 PSAR9E

  > What (important drivers) drivers I need to download once to install Windows Seven 64-bit.
  Almost all of the drivers are important... the essential drivers are sound, lan, wlan, graphic card driver, touchpad, etc.
  VAP (value added package) and utility support memory card Flash are required for keys FN and buttons of media control

  > Thirdly, I would like to know if it is possible to install display drivers downloaded from the Web of Nvidia site and not that of Toshiba?
  Usually it s not recommended to use the drivers from nVidia or an ATI page because these drivers don't support drivers Toshiba overheating protection
  But if you want to use the nVidia drivers so that at you own risk

  Installation can be a bit harder running the exe file will not work because you will get a message that this driver is not allowed, but you can install all the drivers in Device Manager you can point to the driver files, stored on the HARD drive and this will allow to choose the nVidia Driver

• 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.

• 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.
