• Satellite A500 - 14K - key USB not recognized with Windows 7

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 14 K, it was pre-installed for Windows 7.
  I bought the upgrade to Windows 7: I got a PC upgrade disk and a windows upgrade disk. I launched the first disk, then the other.
  There was no particular error in these facilities.

  Since this upgrade, my PC doesn't recognize USB keys while they work perfectly with the previous version of windows with this pc. They are normally key usb plug-and-play. When I launched the update of windows, the driver exists, but installation failed in error with a message of access problem.
  I check that the firewall does not block access. I installed the latest version of the BIOS

  I can't find any similar pb on the forum
  Thank you for your help

• Satellite A500: Multimedia keys do not work after Win 8 upgrade

  Hi everyone, I run Toshiba SATELLITE A500 - 1C0 (PSAR3E-01300WPL) with Windows 8 PRO x 64.

  As I noticed - post factum /:-'Models supported' not supported for Windows 8 drivers of my PC.

  Although, the computer will work perfectly, but I have a little problem with my drivers: the Panel at the top of the keyboard (http://goo.gl/IQVAG) works not only put on mute, volume up/down work, but the ECO button and media buttons are NOT - is there any method to upgrade the drivers so that I can use all the keys?

  I installed TOSHIBA eco utility and it works fine, but the buttons do not respond. I can't find and update the driver/ulitity that is responsible for this issue.

  I also want to ask if there is any chance to get the TOSHIBA for Win.8 drivers for my Satellite A PC series in the future. Y at - it a utility to analyze and automatically update TOSHIBA drivers? (but not Toshiba drivers Update Utility, which does not work in my case - it offers me to downgrade my drivers!)

  I opened the Device Manager and tried to update the drivers manually, but - that's even BIGGER problem then eco Panel etc. - some devices are marked as "unknown devices" and may not be recognized at all.

  Thank you for your help,

  > is there a method to upgrade the drivers so that I can use all the keys?

  Method? Name is no other method as to try some tools to win 8 released for other series of laptop. The multimedia button requires installation of VAP (value package).
  Check and test the VAP to win 8 released to win 8 supported notebook series.

  > I also want to ask if there is any chance to get the TOSHIBA for Win.8 drivers for my Satellite A PC series in the future.
  As you said above; computer laptop isn t Win 8 supported model, so I doubt that you will get all the drivers Win 8 in the future.

• Satellite A500 - Windows won't start, how to get back now?

  Hello guys,.

  Recently, a week, I bought a new Satellite A500 - 1HK. I installed everything and after I installed Office 2007, after restarting my PC put on the Windows 7 Logo. PLS, please note that at this time one had a connected external HARD disk. It was my first mistake.

  My second mistake was that after 5 minutes of inactivity, I turned off my PC (no closures) and that's it. My PC has crashed completely.

  My third mistake was that I did not since the recovery disks, and unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD. The recovery program his on a partition separate from my laptop. I tried to solve the problem as follows: I start the PC, press F8 and I went into the repair menu. The first time after the repair, nothing had happened. After that, I tried to go to the recovery option. I choose the American language and press ENTER. Nothing had happened. the screen displays an error saying: you must login to access the System Recovery Options. If you encounter problems to connect, contact your administrator to the computer for help. Click ok to restart the computer.

  The only thing I can imagine is that the recovery partition crashed also. What can I do now? I ordered alrweady the Toshiba restore CD and waits for the next 2 weeks.
  What is your opinion. That's happened? I hope that the rexcovery program will work with CD and I don't face any problem, no more.

  Thank you.
  Leonardos

  Hey Buddy,

  > I have ordered alrweady the Toshiba Recovery CD
  So in my opinion, your question is already answered. Juice wait the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  If work HDD recovery doesn't, your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc and now it s time to wait. I m you will get the disk as soon as possible.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A500 - Windows 7 32-bit or 64-bit?

  I just crossed on Satellite A500 first installation, I got a question asking if I wanted to load 32-bit or 64-bit, didn't know that one to choose so I went for 32 bit, all thoughts of one who is suitable for load and the reasons why.

  Hello

  I think that it is solely based on the RAM you have: how much RAM is installed on your Satellite A500?

  Normally, 64-bit is important if you have 4 GB of RAM installed, because a 32-bit OS can handle up to 3.2 GB of RAM. So, with 4 GB or more RAM, I would choose the 64-bit version. ;)

• Satellite L305D-S5895 - keys to functions and the wifi does not work with Win XP

  Hello

  first sorry for my English

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with Windows XP, I need a software, but the function keys does not work.
  So I need a driver, but I can't, and wireless internet does not work.

  > Where could it find special XP BIOS?
  In my opinion, there is problem because most threads here are on the European laptop models. then come to question United States. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. do not work together and each of them is responsible for own models and provide support for specific country notebooks models.

  For most models, so here in Europe Toshiba has offered two BIOS. We were already on the delivered Vista laptops. The Toshiba page download available BIOS for Windows XP Home edition. in most cases, it was version 5. XX and this BIOS was designed to support public services and specific tools of Toshiba. For example, all the FN key features was only available with this BIOS WXP.

  So if any of you have laptop model US they would see how the solution with Toshiba U.S. or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A660 - FN keys without function

  Hi, once again its me :D

  in any case, I noticed that FN + f keys do not work. I can't lock my computer with him, I just can't cut it with fn + esc, I can't adjust brightness with fn + f6, f7 and so on.

  Any ideas what could be? Function of the lighted buttons work perfectly :) I ve see the thread where the settings button mad crazy go after you install VM workstation but I also solved this problem through your forum (thnx).

  So no idea why the fn + f keys does not? What should I do?

  Thank you in advance!

  Hi Sanka_2,

  Yes, there is a solution here in the forum for the FN keys if you install VMware... As I remember you must change or delete some registry keys.

  Anyway, FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. In your case, I recommend the resettlement of these tools. This means remove older versions, restart the computer and install the latest versions of the official page of Toshiba.

  Check this box!

• Satellite A500 - some keys on the keyboard do not work

  Have lost the use of apparently random keys,
  Can I use the top left - 46, the second highest - Brotons;' third row - zxcvm,. /

  So do not work are - 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 9, 0,-, =, a, enter, left SHIFT, b, n

  I use the on-screen keyboard. Unit 6 months.

  Could something be turned on/off? Virus? or the use of the guarantee?

  Any ideas appreciated
  Jay

  Hello

  Well, it can happen that some keys stop working after several months and you can't do anything.

  You must contact the authorized service provider for a new keyboard because some individual keys can be exchanged, only the entire keyboard.
  Your laptop is only 6 months old, and then the repair is covered under warranty. :)

  On the Toshiba page, you can find a list of ASP.

• Re: Satellite A500 - Windows error recovery

  I have a problem with my laptop

  When I restart my laptop, it tends to be stuck on this windows error recovery screen. It gives me two options
  (1) Lauch Startup Repair
  (2) start Windows normally

  Tried both, it turns off, reboots that it ends on the same screen over and over again. Tried to access it via safe mode, nothing helps. tried to fix it through windows disk 7, did not work. tried last good configuration, not good either.

  It's the screen that I always end up and it does not go further.
  http://I585.Photobucket.com/albums/ss297/fobssquad/P1010014.jpg

  Please can someone show me a few guidelines as to how can I do to fix this problem. I'm a freshman in College, I have no money to take it to a professional. That's why I try to fix it myself as I have urgent need.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  Hmm, not easy, but in my opinion it s something wrong with properly installed Windows OS and HDD recovery doesn't work

  You have the Toshiba Recovery disk?
  If Yes, you can use it to restore the original settings windows. Just boot from that disk and follow the instructions on the screen, everything that s! :)

• Re: Help Satellite A500 Windows 7 DRIVER IRQL NOT LESS or EQUAL BSOD

  My Satellite Crash when I try to play games (or sometimes randomly). It starts late and then it dies just across the blue screen saying driver_irql not less or equivalent.
  I updated my drivers but it still crashes and I am unsure of how to identify the driver that is causing the problem.

  So please how can I fix this problem.

  Thank you

  PS: this is not due to overheating.

  It looks like Microsoft DirectX and graphics driver conflict. Download the latest version of directX 11:

  Uninstall the previous one installed, reboot the laptop and install a new one. If happens again, reinstall or update a graphics driver

• Satellite A500 - icon Volume missing from the taskbar

  My volume icon disappeared from the taskbar (Satellite A500 / Windows 7). When I right click on properties to display the 'enable or disable system icons', the volume icon is there, but can not change off to on as the 'stop' is grayed out.

  Someone at - it indexes?

  Hello

  Maybe your card its isn't recognized properly. Have you checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager?
  Maybe the audio driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba site.

  Normally you can toggle the icon of volume if you in Control Panel > sounds and Audio devices.
  Check it!

  Hello

  I obtained through Satellite A500.

  After the upgrade to Windows 10 Webcam and Fn keys do not work.

  Where can I find driver updates?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Where can I find driver updates?

  Unfortunately, it seems that the Satellite A500 is too old and will not be Windows 10 drivers.
  I found the Toshiba site, which provides information on the Toshiba models supported for upgrading to Windows 10 and the A500 is not which are listed there.
  http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

  Generally, all Toshiba drivers earn 10 for other models of laptops can be downloaded on this page:
  http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG
  then maybe you can see the drivers released for other series...

  I also read that some of the riders Win 8 could also work in the frame to win 10.
