• Main problems of Satellite A500-15N Backspace

  My Toshiba Satellite A500-15N was purchased last October, so it is not exactly ancient. Suddenly, the BACKSPACE on my laptop doesn't work a couple of days. Sometimes it works just not all and at other times, I have to press very hard or press on the right edge of the key to make it work.

  The behavior makes me think that it is a hardware problem. Someone knows something similar? Is go to the Toshiba customer Service my best option?

  Yes. Your best option is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer. They allow to check the keyboard.
  If the keyboard is defective, I guess you will get a new and Exchange will be free.

• Satellite A500 - is there a model with the 2nd internal HARD drive?

  Is there a model A500 with 2 internal drives?

  Hello!

  You can check it on the Toshiba site in the specifications of the laptop if it s equipped ;) 2nd HARD drive

  But I checked the Toshiba Web site for you, and it seems that Satellite A500 isn't equipped with the 2nd HARD drive.
  If you want a 2nd HARD drive therefore use an external that you can connect via for example fast eSATA port.

  Good bye

• Satellite L20 error: DVD - RAM crashes with a blue screen with the use of cd-audio

  Hello world

  I have a very annoying problem: when I use audio-cd, my Satellite tends to crash with a blue screen. When it crashes, blue screen, scrolls and immediately a black screen and a restart follows.

  It is probably a driver problem, because I have three audioprograms installed (Windows Media player, Sonic Stage MiniDisc and I-tunes).

  Can someone give me advice? Thanks in advance

  Hi Klaas,

  It would be useful to know what the error message is when you get the blue screen. I suggest that you disable the restart automatic installation so that your laptop stops on the blue screen and you can read the error.

  To disable the auto restart: -.

  1. right click on 'My computer' icon and then click on "Properties".
  2. click on the "Advanced" tab
  3. click on 'Settings' in the section starting and recovering (towards the bottom of the window).
  4 uncheck 'automatically restart '.

  Please post again all the details of the blue screen error message.

• Satellite P305-S8820 won't start no-POST 'BLACK SCREEN' will not start up CD

  When the HARD drive is connected Vista does not start, regardless of the boot order. Instead, it shows just a black screen with no cursor. Supplied recovery disks will not start. I removed the HARD drive and ran a scan of the disc to see if the drive went wrong, no dice, the disc is good and works fine via usb-sata on another computer.

  I inserted just the toshiba recovery disk, without HARD drive, and it starts. I connected the external HARD drive now and vista tries to start BSOD, I tried safe mode, last known, everything, nothing works, all get a BSOD disappearing too fast for me to read.

  I searched a dump file on my other computer and was a failure. When the HARD drive is connected via usb vista tries to start and the toshiba cd works now, however, it will not perform a complete installation of factory toshiba it does not find the HARD drive? I'm a windows user and I have years of experience with x 86 programming and windows 32-bit operating systems, but I'm stumped. Bad RAM? Bad Sata? Bad HARD drive? Bad CD/DVD? It is Vista Home premium.

  I don't want to reformat and lose all my data "I AM A REAL 'IT' not a silly computer user" no offense to all the others out there but I refuse just "format and forget ' tools used invites to rebuild the BCD and this does not work either and automatic repair does nothing, recovery does not work as it says there is no recovery points I am frustrated beyond words.

  Finally, this operating system is just horrible, I was once the 'happy' owner of a copy of Windows ME and it does not give me half of the problems that makes this operating system.

  I'm fed up with this, and am half tempted to ask my money for my computer, it might not be the responsibility of the user barely shoot / resolve these problems, they should be addressed before the product was released.

  I am at a loss. Help, please.

  Thank you

  Kevin

  I'm a bit confused with the info given, but if you can not restore/repair Windows, while you should do is back up your data to another PC using a USB adapter, and then run the recovery on the HARD drive internal in the P305.

  You must also update the BIOS.

• How you can know if you want to compare materials is the problem between the processor and the memory when you have black screen!

  Hello

  If you have a black screen which can be if the processor is dead or memory is dead how you know if you do not reserve memory, the problem is the processor or memory?

  I tried this on my computer, I put on the CPU and I got black screen, I put in memory and I got black screen.

  Thank you

  Johan

  Thank you

  so in this case, how you can know if it is the processor or memory is the problem.

  you have to always have book of memory by you to resolve these issues (to make sure if the memory is problem) what memory or processor its work not at all.

  or it is too nested ways!

  Johan

  From what you described, it is possible that the processor, the RAM and the motherboard are all damaged. Or also the cold of power supply the problem (which could be checked for appropriate using a voltmeter). If you do not reply the existing motherboard then without spare parts (RAM, processor and motherboard) to use in tests, there is nothing more you can do with it to test these components.

  Anyone can shed some light?

  Thank you and happy new year!

  Hi mate,

  I put also t know why it happened, but can you please send the exact code of BSOD? If the blue screen appears, you can see a message like STOP there you can also see the BSOD code as 0x000000

  Theoretically, it could be a software problem. Did you install 3rd party programs or have you checked the computer of viruses?

  You can also try to reinstall Windows using the recovery of HARD drive option. Go to the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer.

• Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

  After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

  In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

  Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

  Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10

• Re: Satellite A500-1 - slow after blue screen

  Hi all

  I've owned a Satellite A500-1 in a year with no problems at all until a few days ago. When it tuning on it gave me a blue screen of death, and after 10 seconds, it turned blue, so I couldn't read error.

  I noticed reduced performance since it happened. Especially when you play games or movies HD, the picture and sound will freeze every few seconds. This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.

  I scanned the hard drive and memory errors, but it wasn't everything. Cant someone give me some advice, please?

  Thank you

  Hello

  > This happens in Windows 7 and Ubuntu. I did a new install of both, but the problem persists.
  This would mean that the problem is hardware-related and operating system installation seems to be ok, but it could be anything and it s is not easy to say what part is affected.

  Some parts, you can check yourself like RAM and HARD drive.

  http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
  With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. Then you can test the HARD drive.
  On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  http://Memtest86.com/
  Memtest86 is a diagnostic tool to check the RAM. Here, you can also download a CD image.
  It s easy to use. Run the test of 3-4 hours and then you will see if the RAM has some errors.

  If both tests cannot find an error, it must be another problem as the motherboard or the CPU. For such a diagnosis, you must contact an authorized service provider. They can help you get rid of this problem. You can find a complete list of the guys here:

• Satellite A500 - 17 X gel questions / speakers crackling

  Hello

  I recently bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500 - 17 X to pc world because I wanted a reasonable multimedia laptop computer price of £700, I'm towards the end of my fault for 28 days and do not know whether to return the laptop or keep it.

  From time to time if I let the computer and do not use it for an hour or set mode 'sleep' then when I take it freezes sometimes and I have to turn off the laptop or remove the battery and restart the computer, which arrived about 4 times in 20 days. It freezes completely so that I can t anything.

  Sometimes when I play the music from the speakers slightly crackle well that I m not sure if I m just to play out loud as I like my music loud but even when I turn down that I hear it randomly, I already returned your laptop for the same problem, but now you're wondering whether to give up Toshiba and go for something else or stick with them

  I was wondering if anyone else had similar problems or everyone finds the laptop works very well with WINDOWS 7 and no problems

  Please answer asap would be very grateful

  Thank you

  Hello

  For three weeks I have Satellite A500-157. I had with Vista, but after a week, I installed Win7 (clean install). So far, I am convinced, and performance is really good.
  I does not have a lot of extra software. I use Office 2007, Skype, MSN messenger and Firefox only.
  Last week when I installed Win7 I have found no Win7 drivers for this model of laptop but I did the combination of Vista and Win7 for Satellite A350 pilots. Everything goes well.

  With all these stuff pre-installed and portable standard configuration runs stabile and pretty quiet (after updating the BIOS). I use the daily sleep/hibernation mode and up to now I did not notice anything unusual. Laptop wakes up correctly.

  Sound is pretty good, but I think that his was better on my older Satellite P200. Maybe the older speakers in P200 were slightly larger and more powerful. In any case, until now, I did not notice whatever it is what can be described as critical behavior and I just hope that mobile will work well in the future without some hardware or software issues.

• Satellite A500 questions (graphics Card freezes when games)

  Hi everyone hope you can help!

  I recently bought my Satellite laptop A500 and I have 2 numbers extremley bad!

  First apparently there is no my model number is PSAM3A-04100E, which turns out to be a Royal in the preverbial right pain when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!

  Second is my major problem,.
  I do a lot of games (sims 3, Callof Duty this kind of thing...) and every time I play I think that wow is the great great great fps and then FREEZE graphics! my summer completely computer hangs and stops without warning signs of lag slowing down or anything like that, and she is constantly!
  I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem or if I wait must search for a driver update I searched around but can't seem to find it anywhere.
  I really don't want to take it back to the shop because then I won't have a computer for weeks!

  Any help would be appreciated massively,
  Thank you very much

  Tasman

  > PSAM3A-04100E
  Where you bought your laptop? What is the country of purchase?
  New Zealand, perhaps?
  Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your model of laptop there but I can see the Win7 drivers are not available for the moment.

  Next week, I'll get my Satellite A500 and I'll test with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
  In any case before starting the game stop all unnecessary running process and define the plan of power at full power. Make sure also your laptop can catch its breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Replace also side of your notebook computer on two CD boxes having a greater distance between the laptop and the desktop.

  I hope that everything will be working well.

• Some keys on the keyboard for Satellite A500-025 are strange

  My Toshiba Satellite A500-025 has a keyboard with strange symbols on it. The back key on the right side of the keyboard is also a vertical rectangular key with 2 keys between the key containing the semicolon and the return key which is too far.

  On other Toshiba keyboards I've seen in stores, the return key is a horizontal rectangular key with that one key between the semicolon and the return key. Anyone know why I have this strange configuration on my keyboard?

  Thank you

  To be honest I don't know on which keys you mean exactly, but I think you should consult your dealer and ask what it can be.
  If you want to discuss about it here please make the photo of your keyboard and mark them with red circle, what do you mean exactly.

  I don't know what other Toshiba keyboards you mean but fact is that the Satellite A500 is Toshiba the first laptop with screen 16 delivered with larger keyboard, including the numeric keypad.
