Re: Satellite L500-126 dedicated VRAM
Satellite L500-126, I bought last week, told me that VRAM dedicated to this laptop is 512 MB in the shop, but when I check the VRAM at home, it shows that 1 G dedicated VRAM.
My old laptop is Satellite M70-147, I remember my old laptop uses a technology that doubles the real virtual VRAM 256 MB 128 (I forgot the name of the technology).
My new L500-126 uses the same technology or VRAM that laptop is real dedicated 1 G?
THX!
Hi doldrumsboy,
to verify that materials are in your machine to use tools such as sandra or avast

Problem creating discs of recovery for the Satellite L500-126
Hello
I have a problem of creation of recovery for the Satellite L500-126 disks.
I'm using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.
The 1st disk is ok.
When I try to do the 2nd drive, the systems stops exactly 50% of the 2nd drive. and no more reaction from the creator of disc.I tried 2 x, and every time I had to give up and throw the dvd.
any suggestions?
Hello
You should try another DVD from different manufacturers
It s nothing unusual that some DVDs are not totally compatible and CD/DVD players cannot write data correctly
I had this problem in the past and could solve this test and using different DVD. -
Unable to save my new Satellite L500-126
Hello
I bought a Toshiba Satellite L500-126 may 7 this year, and I tried to make the record (cuz it said in the offer that you can do between April 1 and June 30, 2010), but it was cancelled because "the registration period has passed..."
What should I do?
Hello
I think you should contact the store you purchased and ask them about registration. Moreover, I had the same problem with the registration for my laptop, I just contacted the dealer and they fixed.

Satellite L500-126-CD/DVD drive does not open very well unrolled
Hello
I just got my second Satellite L500-126.
I traded my first for a new because the ESCAPE key got stuck sometimes and made a grinding sound.Now, with my new one, I noticed that my dvd drive does not open very well unrolled and 2 bars of silver metal bit come out with the car when I open it.
Is this normal?Also, when I close the dvd player, I hear a little noise "ping!"
Like a spring, or something. Is that also normal?Thanks in advance.
Hello
I'm not quite sure what you mean by 2 small bars of silver, but the reader of my laptop s contains two metals (runners, railway).
This is normal and these pieces are important to ensure that the drive can eject properly and could remain in a good position.
Still, you will hear a short click Open and close the drive.So I guess it's ok.

Satellite L500-126 - vertical lines on the Green/gray color dark
Hello
I have a problem with my new toshiba satellite L500-126. With certain colors, like green, dark gray, I see vertical lines on the screen, only the part of the screen were the color is.
For example, on this screenshot I made. I see vertical lines inside the chatbox. There you can see the chattext. I looked at this picture with another monitor. But I don't see the vertical lines. Am I a bad screen? Or is this normal on this model?
Hoping for an answer,
-Floyd

> I looked at this picture with another monitor. But I don't see the vertical lines.
In my opinion, the case is clear: there is something wrong with the internal monitor to the laptop and it must be replaced.
What do you think?I mean that if it would be a software problem then you would have the same lines.
I guess that your laptop is still under warranty because the Satellite L500 is fairly new. Contact an authorized service provider and ask for help. Normally, you should get a new free exhibition. :)

Satellite L500-126 - access keys does not work on Windows 7
I upgraded my Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (no clean install upgrade) for my Satellite L500-126.
Everything works fine except the shortcuts (FN + F keys) keyboard, shortcut keys worked fine in Vista prior to upgrade. I want to reinstall the drivers or applications for shortcut keys, but the downloads page confuses me a lot. Should what driver and applicantion I download for this keyboard shortcuts?
THX!
Hello
Keys FN and all the other special functions, you need only the Toshiba value added Package. It contains all the drivers you need for these functions:

Satellite L500-126, (Fn Hotkeys) Flash card still does not work
I use windows 7 ultimate x 64 on L500-126, the new win7 x 64 drivers are available since yesterday...
However, maps (Fn Hotkeys) Flash still does not work after the installation of the new VAP. Flash cards can appear at the top of my screen, I can click on them with the mouse, but the Fn combinations work not at all!
I noticed that there is a downloadable driver called "support Flash Cards", even, I installed this app, the problem still remains.
Then I uninstalled VAP and kept "Support Flash Cards", to my surprise, the combination Fn + F6 and F7 (brightness adjustment) worked! However, without VAP I couldn't use other combinations.
Are there still problems with the new VAP for win 7 x 64?
P.S. The new "hardware configuration" seems to be a problem as well, I tried to change some configurations in this application but after re-boot, all options are returned.

Satellite L500-126 and drivers on 64-bit Windows 7
I'm going to update my system to windows 7 64-bit, however drivers 64-bit windows 7 aren't currently available for L500-126.
I noticed the drivers 32-bit of windows 7 are available since last week, I wonder when the win7 64 bit drivers would be ready?THX!
All laptops listed on Win7 download page will build for 32 and 64 bit, and I think it's just a matter of time where the drivers will be ready for download. Maybe you should wait a few days with the Win7 installation.
Anyway, as Feodor written you can try to use some Vista drivers. -
Satellite L500-126 - high temperatures when you play
Lately, my laptop started to reach very high temperatures, I've done a few tests in playing cod 4 on max settings for half an hour.
Here are the results.
CPU max temperature: 88 degrees celsius
Core max GPU temperature: 112 degrees celsius (!)It happened several times that my computer off everything just himself.
What can I do about it?Hello
Have you installed a different 3rd display driver of the part that is not Toshiba? Usually, these drivers are the cause of the high temperatures and can destroy the equipment. So if you have a such display driver remove it and install the latest driver from Toshiba Web site.
In addition, you must clean your laptop at any time using a jet of compressed air:

Satellite L500-126: Win7 upgrade - I can re-activateit after a new installation?
I upgraded my Vista OEM Windows 7 successfully yesterday.
What happens if in the future, I need to reinstall the system?
Can I reactivate Windows 7 after installation of the new?PS my Vista OEM is the version 64 bit and my win 7 is the ultimate 64-bit upgrade version
THX
I hope I understand your right to question so here is what I know about it:
When you upgrade original Vista preinstalled you do not need to activate Win7, but if you clean Win7 installation then you must activate the preinstalled version.With other words to have free Win7 of activations, you must install Vista first using Toshiba DVD recovery and then he move to Win7.

Is it possible to reallocate the memory system on a Satellite L500 - 19 X?
I was curious why my Satellite L500-19 X has not run games very well when I had almost 1.8 GB of memory, then I noticed that only 128 MB of it was used for the games, is it possible that I can pull some of the system memory that is shared over dedicated games?
I know, you cannot reallocate memory system yourself, the system does this automatically. You can do it in the Bios settings if the share option is available.

Change the screen of welcome/opening of session start on Satellite L500
Hi - just bought laptop for my son (the Satellite L500 - 19 X with Win7 Home) preloaded and getting ready for Christmas.
The logon screen is the Toshiba logo with a white background. This makes shaded police fall very hard to read which is used for usernames; and the "change user" list after < ctrl alt del > etc.
What is the name of the file that produced this wallpaper of connection please so that I can replace to make the text legible?Note: the same question on the desktop, but this can be avoided by unchecking the box "shadow" in Visual effects & change the wallpaper.
Thank you very much

I googled a little and found this:
http://www.withinWindows.com/2009/03/15/Windows-7-to-officially-support-logon-UI-background-customization/The procedure is a little but delicate.
You must change the registry.-Beginning of registry (Regedit.exe)
-go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-Software-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------authentication------LogonUI------background-Create a new DWORD value named OEMBackground
-Double-click OEMBackground and set its value data to 1
-Access registerThis allows you to include the screen background image (jpg)
In C:\Windows\System32\oobe\info\backgrounds, you could include the jpg file.
The file should be named backgroundDefault.jpg + +.Note: info and background folders don't exist by default. You must manually create these records. In addition, the images must be less than 256 KB!

Satellite L500-1WG - how to use the modem internal?
I am new to computers and laptops and that you just bought the Toshiba Satellite L500-1WG. I was told, in the shop, he has an internal modem?
What should I do to activiate/get connected to the internet? Do I need an external modem wired or wireless as well? No difficult language or abbreviations please, I am a total novice with very limited on this subject knowledge. Have only to learn how to start and run the basic set up.
HEY buddy,
> Told me, in the shop, he has an internal modem?
It seems that this shop doesn't know what they are selling or they wanted kid a small round littleIt turns out satellite L500 is not equipped with modem and it doesn t have a modem (RJ12) port.
So if you want to use the modem connection, you must purchase an external. But for now he s not advised to use a modem, the majority of the pages are not designed for modem more.

Hello
You re right Satellite L500 doesn t have an internal modem, so you need an external.
I think you can buy every modem that is compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your favorite computer dealer or authorized service provider
