• Portege R500 - Powerpoint and dual head video card

  Urgent! I have a presentation to do tomorrow.

  Anyone know if the Portege R500 has a dual head video card so that Powerpoint can be used in presenter view. That is to say, the notes show on laptop and external display or via a projector presentation?

  I put t know what you mean exactly with dual head video card but the Portege R500 may be connected to the projector too.
  You could extend your desktop on the projector by using the FN + F5 key combination and could spend the PowerPoint on the extended desktop.
  This should also work.

• Portege R500 3 G is compatible with Vodafone?

  Does anyone know about the internal 3G on the R500 - 3G 125 that I can't find any information anywhere?
  My boss is attracted by the internal unit, having had problems with a modem external stick.

  I'm trying to find out if she will take our existing Vodafone service.
  They can only tell me that they support only the SIM card and anything nearby that is up to the manufacturer.

  So the R500 has a slot for SIM card, or how it works, and does anyone have experience with the use of Vodaphone or another provider of service in this regard?

  Any help much appreciated.

• Portege R500 - unrecognized SD cards

  Hello!
  I have the R500 with WinXP SP3 and player SD slot does not properly small or large SD cards. Device Manager displays a certain activity when a card is inserted, but the resource (My Computer) Manager shows not all SD cards / new readers. Any ideas how to solve this problem? The device uses drivers WinXP or Toshiba? Texas Instruments or any other driver of manufacturers?

  Thanks in advance!

  Hi muza57,

  What types of SD cards are you using exactly?

  I checked the user manual of the Portege R500 and it supports the SHDC cards up to 8 GB SD cards up to 2 GB.

  I recommend also to install the last driver on the Toshiba site.

• With the help of an old sim card in the iPhone?

  I finally convinced my MOM to get an iPhone.

  Here, is the fun part. It is 1200 miles away so I can't be there to help him with this. She lives in an abdelkader * town so not Apple store or engineering support. I do this anywhere in the phone. She bought a reconditioned 5 or 6 for storage AT & T probably will not be that useful.

  It is on AT & T. I'm on Verizon. His current phone is so old that she cannot yet use AT & T cloud backup. It's something Huawei. It has a sim card. My phone does not have a sim card, so I'm flying blind on this one.

  My questions are these. It is theoretically possible for her to use the old phone sim card in an iPhone? I need to identify the card for me, I know. It seems that if it's an AT & T card, it should work.

  Is this what is causing problems for her? She wants to use the card so that it will not lose its photos and will not have to enter all its numbers again. Once the info is in the iPhone, I'll put it up with iCloud so that she should not rely on the map.

  If she can not use the old sim card, what is the best way to get the data of the card and on the phone? It has a Dell laptop. I have not persuaded to get a Macbook yet. I read that I can get a converter any for the card to be used with a USB port. Would it not easier to import the data on his laptop computer, and then in iCloud? Then once she has the iPhone, hover over the address? I'm assuming the pictures import as jpg files. Does anyone know how to import the addresses? I Team Viewer if I can take her cell phone if I need to.

  My other thought is to try to connect his phone to his laptop computer. I'm not sure she can find a cable with USB on one side and everything that will connect on the phone on the other. I'm not sure that it will work at all, but I think it's worth it.

  Ideas, tips or tricks to help me help my mother would be greatly appreciated.

  Where exactly she buys this iPhone "reconditioned"? Apple does not sell reconditioned iPhones and if it has been refurbished by a 3rd party, he will be untouchable as far as Apple is concerned.

  That said, if it is AT & T, she can get an AT & T Nano from AT & T SIM. They charge him for it. Her old SIM does not fit into a new iPhone. Heck, he probably does not take in an old iPhone unless you want to track an iPhone to original iPhone 3G or 3GS, which are obsolete.

  Get photos off the old phone is based entirely on what type of phone is and what kind of data transfer utility (and special cables) are available. If fact, she buys a new iPhone, someone at the AT & T store can help with this and contact transfer.

• Vodafone 3 G Broadband SIM question on Portege R500

  Hello

  I try to use a Vodafone 3 G Broadband SIM card in my R500 and with difficulties.

  The computer works fine and connects with Orange borrowed and O2 SIMs, so I know that there is nothing wrong with the installation. I also used the Vodafone SIM in its USB modem provided on another PC, so I don't know that works.

  However, the Portege refuses to read the Vodafone SIM and an other SIM PAYG they gave me. I just get 'SIM not found. Check the orientation"in the software of Novatel.

  Has anyone else had this? I noticed that the Vodafone SIM contacts are very small compared to others. Also the reader Toshiba SIM a "progressive" lines of pins inside - something I've not seen on another phone or modem. Maybe they are not aligned?

  Thanks for the info it happy functions

• Remote SIM on Portege R500

  Maybe it's a bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if it was possible to use the remote SIM card (or [SIM access profile | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_profile#SIM_Access_Profile_.28SAP.2C_SIM. 29]) function, which provides Bluetooth to allow the R500 to 'borrow' the SIM card from my Nokia N95? This would mean that I wouldn't need to have a subscription separate from the 3G to the PC data.

  Note here that I speak not of the use of the phone as a bluetooth modem, but the 3G modem internal of the R500, the phone's SIM card.

  I m not an expert, but I'm don't think it is possible
  As far as I know that the 3G card can only be used for data transfer

• Portege R500 with 3G - Instructions for the insertion of the SIM card

  I have a model PPR50E R500 which I think has built in 3G. Howevere I can't find documentation on how to insert a SIM card. One of the other model seems to suggest that the SIM card is inserted behind the keyboard. Can someone point me to some training documents please?

  Unfortunately there is no documentation available. (Maybe in the user manual, but if there is nothing, then you won´t find anything)

  Here are some instructions on how to swap the SIM card on a Portégé R400, so I think that since both machines are quite similar, that the guidelines would apply to the R500 too:

  Perform the following steps to insert/remove the SIM card:

  1. close the machine OFF completely. Make sure that the POWER LED is not lit.
  2. remove the AC adapter, battery and all connected cables/devices.
  3. open the screen.
  4. remove the keyboard cover with a small screwdriver flat blade in the small hole on the edge of the cover and pulling gently out.
  5. remove the two screws that hold the keyboard and knock it gently over the keyboard. (Use a small cross-slot screwdriver to unscrew the two screws).
  6. to activate the keyboard down, take the upper end of the keyboard, pull gently upwards and place the keyboard with the keys down on the palmrest of your machine.

  * ATTENTION: *.

  {color: #ff0000} + do not touch the keys on the keyboard to return back. Make sure that you hold the keyboard on both sides and ask gently down on the palmrest. +
  + The keyboard is connected to the machine with a flat cable. Avoid pulling the cable on the connector or damage! +
  + Avoid dropping objects (such as paper clips, etc.) inside the machine. A metallic object can cause a short circuit on the motherboard, which would cause serious damage to your machine. +
  {color}

  7. search the card slot SIM on the upper right corner of the machine.
  8. slide the locking mechanism of the SIM card with the fingernails or a small object slot to the left to unlock. (You can also use a small flat blade screwdriver)
  9 pull gently until on the SIM card slot.
  (10 a) Insertion: insert the card into the SIM card slot. The filings of the SIM card must show an upside.
  (b) removal: remove the SIM card from the slot

  11 turn the slot down and block it by sliding the lock to the right.
  12 insert the keyboard by placing the clips on the bottom of the keyboard into the grooves on the top of the palm rest. Rabat the keyboard gently downwards and fix it by screwing the screws into the holes. Make sure that no screws were dropped on the inside of the machine!
  13 install the support of keyboard on its position and push down to fix its position.
  14 attach the adapter sector, battery and all cables/devices.
  15 enable you wireless device by pressing "FN + F8" when you work on Windows.

  * I must warn you, it s on your own risk and if you do not feel comfortable with the installation procedure can put the machine to an authorized Service provider, which can make the installation of the SIM card for you.*

  Good luck my friend :)

• Portege R500 - all chances of getting a kit of renovation of 3G (UMTS/HSDPA)

  I just bought my Toshiba R500 here in Germany about three weeks ago. A few days ago, I received information that Toshiba will soon offer the R500 with integrated UMTS/HSDPA modem.
  Even more surprising: the price seems to be the same, there is no price increase.

  So, I just bought a R500 with 64 GB of SSD three weeks ago and he is already OLD. I've always wanted the R500 with integrated 3G but my dealer told me that there is no information that Toshiba will offer such a product. Of course, I can still use my 3G Express card with a PCMCIA card, but to be honest, it seems silly to have that thing sticking out of the R500.

  Now, here's my question, because I am sure that other customers are too affected: is wise and customer Toshiba kind enough to offer some kind of kit of renovation of the 3gs for the R500? I know that there is space, including for the reader of card SIM, but if Toshiba does not offer a kit of renovation, any modification may void the warranty and it can also do not work as it should.

  Chances to get a 3G (UMTS/HSDPA) renovation for the R500 kit any time soon? I love my R500 but without integrated 3G, it truly annoys from time to time (btw: the s.cks Word is censored, funny).

  Retro Kit 3G? : D

  Hey Buddy AFAIK the 3G card must be connected to the motherboard, and if someone wants to upgrade the small Portege R500, thin with this card you will need to disassemble the whole laptop.
  This would void the warranty.

  I m not sure if it of possible to modernize the R500 with such card but if yes, then you should contact the ASP in your county for such a procedure.

  I have already seen that the Portege R500 equipped with module 3G / UMTS (3.6 Mbps) high-speed.
  Maybe it's better to sell your R500 and buy a new one with the card 3G s? ;)

  Best regards

  Hello!
  I found my old laptop, but cannot start - forgotten BIOS password. Disconnect CMOS battery did not help.

  Support of the USA asked me write here
  May be someone can help generate answers unlock code?
  Model is Portege R500 PPR50E-06W012RU

  Protection of the BIOS is a very important feature for protection, so it cannot be discussed in the public forum.
  If someone writes here how you can remove the password BIOS all stolen Portege R500 can be unlocked.

  I know that it costs a bit, but this should be done by the authorized service provider.

• Portege R500 - RAM and disk SSD upgrade

  Hello

  I have a PORTEGE R500 bought in 2007, SERIES NO.48025469H.

  I have obvious problems with VISTA and WINDOWS 7. The two do not work well, because he seems to have a memory. I wonder if I can increase the memory and replace the drive with an SSD. I want to keep this laptop because it is perfect for all my needs.

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to the specifications of the laptop your laptop can handle with GB of RAM, but has been bundled with 2 GB memory is not possible.
  http://www.Toshiba.it/discontinued-p...Tege-R500-11z/

  What about SSD? SSD upgrade is possible and you can use 256GB SSD for upgrade. After this system will be much faster, and you will certainly more performance and speed.

• Portege R500 - network Constant interruptions

  I have a Portege R500 with Windows XP (SP3 now, but same problem with SP2 and same problem before and after all reinstall them), and the network continues to interrupt. It's desperately irritating, because I work a lot of ssh connections, and almost every time the connection breaks I lose some work. The best of cases, it's that I have to log in again and continue where I was.

  This happens regardless of whether I use WIFI or wired network, and sometimes little matter where I am - home, office, coffee internet, that, is not my connection. The network is interrupted every 15-30 minutes, and sometimes as I type or loading a page, while other times it seems just to occur. It is usually easy to tell when it happens, because all the ssh connections instantly hang, all my messenger connections are broken and Outlook complains that he has lost the connection to the Exchange Server. The connections Outlook and messenger do not realize anything is wrong before the connection started actually working again, which has probably something to do with TCP or ICMP messages finally get through, but it's really strange that TCP is not only address the problem transparently - the physical connection is never interrupted for long.

  I guess that it probably has something to do with energy saving, but I have been unable to resolve in setting energy saving settings. Also, I have the same problem, regardless of the question of whether the laptop is powered.

  (Probably?) it is not a hardware failure, because I don't have the same problem in Ubuntu Linux and memtest does not report the errors of memory. (Speaking of which, is there a memory testing tool or self test tool integrated with this laptop?).

  Any suggestion would be appreciated. I tried calling the number of local support twice, but it didn't help much to get there.

  Thanks a lot for this great info
