• 3G modem internal with slot for Satellite A500-12W SIM?

  I join this forumn in great frustration because I spent hours online looking for an answer.

  I run a Satellite A500-12W with a USB 3G modem, but I do not have this fragile thing that comes out of the computer and occupying one of the only 3 USB ports. Under the battery, there is a slot that says SIM, but it seems to be empty, because it cannot contain a SIM in place.

  I don't have a 3g internal modem, I have WIFI capabilities.
  Surely, it must be possible to buy a card that goes inside and works the same way as a USB modem?

  There is an empty slot next locations of memory which says 3 G/TV and something else, is that place and in that case, what should I buy?

  I am eternally grateful for any help, it frustrates me a lot. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite A500-12W does not support the 3G modem and was not equipped with an ability to use the sim card in order to connect to the internet.

  The point is that there are different A500 in the market with different hardware configurations.
  Perhaps the same notebook chassis has been used and, therefore, you can see this place to a sim card.

  However, I'm not sure if you will be able to update this device with a mini-PCI 3 G map... If something like that would be possible, so you can order this part of premises Toshiba ASP...

• Satellite A500-12W - turns off

  I have a problem at the moment. I'm playing a game on my A500-12W.

  The game is not not that demanding for this type of laptop, we are talking about the witcher in 2007. After 10 minutes my phone turns off. Looks like to me its overheating but can't really find a reason why. The fan speed is actually blocked about 80-90% all the time if there is almost no programs running. I have a dual core 2, 53GHz, 4 GB of RAM and 1 GB radeon mobility 4600hd in there so I did not thing that the game is too demanding.

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  The typical recommendation in your case:

  1. clean your computer using the jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling module that can be clogged and stops the system due to overheating.
  2 Select the maximum Performance in the method of cooling in the high power plan performance.

  And the Bill, check out what the Gpu driver you ' ve installed. It should be a pre-tested Toshiba driver a few changes with protection against overheating.

  Hello

  I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500 149.
  How do I activate the keyboard light? I try FN + Z and nothing... no lights on the keyboard!
  Can anyone help?
  I need to install anything to make it work?

  Toshiba Satellite A500-149 part number: PSAM3E-02K00DEP

  Hello

  You must press the button on / off LED, which is part of the multimedia buttons of Toshiba. This button must be placed in the line where the other buttons such as play, pause, volume up and down are placed.

  So the light must be turned on. Then, you can set the backlight on the keyboard to Auto.
  Then the keyboard would hit any key.
  When you use FN + (keyboard sign (Z)), keyboard backlight turns off / Alternatively

  I have a satellite L750-1LR and I can't turn on the wireless module.
  When I try to turn it on, buy the function button, nothing happens. and when I open the connectivity wizard, it said that I could turn on the wireless.

  I get the devices and everithing seems to working properly, it does seem to need all the drivers.

  Please check this thread:

  Also reinstall the VAP (value added package) that controls the Wlan/turn off the feature.

• Satellite A500-13F: can I install drivers for ATI page?

  Hello

  I have the Satellite A500-13F with graphics ATI Radeon HD 4650.
  Can I install drivers from ATI downloaded from their site? I ask because theres a note on downloading the page saying as follows:

  Following books are not supported in this version: *.
  *...*
  * Computers laptop Toshiba (Please check with your mobile phone OEM for support of the drivers for these books) *.
  ...

  What does that mean? Do I have to install these drivers, will they work?

  Thank you

  Hello

  Still, you must download the drivers from the Toshiba driver page because they are pre-tested. Talk to the graphics driver, it is modified and a protection against overheating. So, I'm not advice you to use the ATI drivers. You can use them, but at your own risk.

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500 with the following numbers, I can find: P7350 part number PSAM3A-04200E serial number - 79365650K.

• Satellite L600: How can I turn off the Wireless Communication switch?

  Hello! Would be very grateful for any help... After struggling for 3 months that I finally registered here in the hope of getting help.

  I have a new Satellite L600 / Win7 Home Premium.
  My question is that I don't know where the wireless switch is to turn off COMPLETELY wireless.

  Whenever I start the wireless (orange) light turns on automatically.
  I have to wait until finish and turn off manually by Fn + F8.

  When I opened ConfigFree (or doctor of connectivity), the diagnosis on the left bottom says [STATUS"switch of Wireless Communication: WE]
  This tells me that the main switch is somehow always THERE.

  Twice I called Toshiba and they couldn't find it either.
  They said that the new versions of the BIOS does not...? And for this model, there is no physical switch built on the PC itself.

  I have looked everywhere and did the following:

  (1) disable the adapter in Device Manager.
  (2) in HWSetup, where there used to be an option to click on the switch wireless off, he's gone.
  (3) I went into the BIOS setup and could find nothing remotely related to without wireless/bluetooth to switch.

  I wonder why there is a wireless laptop with light permanently? But if it is enabled, there must be a way to turn it off. Press Fn + F8 every time at startup is not a long-term solution because the risk is that I'll forget someday).

  My last laptop was hacked until it's an absolute priority that I know how to disable all wireless functions. So even if I have to do through the commands, I'll try it. In addition, I do not know if anyone else experience the same thing with this model, or is it a default of my particular PC?

  Any help or even experience will be much appreciated, thank you.

  I disabled the card in the Device Manager.

  When I opened ConfigFree, connectivity doctor tells me the Wireless Communication switch: WE

  > My question is that I cannot find where the wireless switch is to turn off COMPLETELY wireless.

  There is no hardware switch that would allow to enable or disable the WiFi network.
  WLan can be turned on and off using the FN + F8 key combination.

  > When I open ConfigFree (or doctor of connectivity), the diagnosis on the left bottom says STATUS\ ' Wireless Communication switch: on it tells me the main switch is somehow always WE.

  What is the status of the WLAN if you check in network connections?
  The WiFi network is always on?
  If not then the WiFi connection turned off and I wouldn't be worried by the fact that ConfigFree says that it s THERE.

  Of course, you can disable the wireless network adapter in Device Manager. Just mark the Wlan card under network adapters and turn off your device. But believe me; It s enough to do using FN + F8 ;)

• Satellite A500-026 - can't do anything that involes network

  I bought a Satellite A500-026 and just out of box.

  Can't do anything that involves networking, they all freeze or load in white, internet Explorer does not open to the top at all. I can't activate my firewall or antivirus on.
  Not to mention its quite slow for a new machine with a processor P8800 (my laptop 5yo is faster).

  Hi mate!

  Can you notice any other problems with the laptop or simply with the network connection? Furthermore, you hear a LAN or WLAN connection?

  What OS are you using and what 3rd party programs have installed you?

  In your case, I'll try to update the drivers and maybe a laptop recovery facility. You should try it with factory settings (preinstalled OS from Toshiba).

• Satellite A660 how can I turn off the light on the power button?

  Hello, I recently bought a new Toshiba A660-1FL.

  However mind, lighting of the multimedia keys, if I work in the dark.
  In the Bios, I could disable the led lighting, but the on/off switch is always lighting, which distracts me when I'm working.
  This laptop has two power LED, so the lighting power is in my view, unnecessary.

  My question is: How can I turn off the light on the power button?

  Hello

  The power button led cannot be disabled.
  It s there if the laptop is turned on.
  The lighting in the BIOS option only controls the multimedia keys...
