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.

  • Re: Cannot use remote control Toshiba Satellite A500-1GL

    Hi all

    I just got my remote Toshiba (G83C0009R110)
    I have installed the Toshiba remote control manager.
    I use pre-installed 64-bit Win7 but cannot get the remote control works properly.

    Can anyone help with this?

    Thank you for your support and see you soon

    Hello

    As far as I know that Toshiba has a number of different models of Sat A500... with different options, check it out...
    So it may well be that some units have one unit of distance, others not... before buying a remote control, make sure that you check whether your device supports a control unit remotely.

    In my view, a merchant who sells Toshiba laptops could you provide details on remote available.

  • Cannot use wireless LAN with my Satellite Pro A100

    Toshiba Satellite Pro A100-830
    NETGEAR DG834G

    Can not use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software. I don't know what that means and what software controls the connection. I have other laptop which is duly connected by wireless. I'm ok with wired connection.

    I don't know much about the technical aspects and therefore ask for help so any reader can.
    Thank you
    Kris

    > Can't use the Wi - Fi connection. When you use "Free Config" to find peripheral wireless the popup "this connection is controlled by other software.

    You may not use the ConfigFree for configuring Wlan but own Vista configuration options or the WLan configuration tool like Atheros Clint Utility or Intel ProSet utility. It depends on the WLan card which utility can be used.
    Card Intel-> Intel ProSet utility; Card Atheros WLan-> Atheros Clint Utility

    I guess the message + this connection is controlled by other software + appears because one of the above options controls the WLan.

  • Cannot use recovery DVD with my Satellite Pro A300D

    Thanks in advance

    Hello buddy

    It is badly located now. Please try to do it once more.
    If the same thing happen there is nothing you can do. I'm not an expert for this kind of thing, but I noticed the image recovery recovery DVD will be copied to the HARD second partition disk) first and then the installation of recovery will go from there.

    If the adaptation procedure is not done on the recovery of end procedure cannot be started.
    Sorry buddy. In my opinion, you can try to contact the nearest authorized maintainer and explain the situation. Take the DVD created as evidence and maybe they will order new media for free.

    Good luck!

  • Fingerprints and the remote control supported on Satellite P100-387

    P100-387 has a fingerprint and the remote? Please, someone answer me.
    Thank you.

    Hello

    To my knowledge, the Satellite P100-387 does not support the fingerprint reader and is not supplied with the remote control.
    But you're right.
    The fingerprints and the remote control are optional and some laptops in the P100 series support fingerprint reader and are delivered with command remotely.

    I also found this site with P100-387 material specifications:
