Re: Satellite L650 PSK1JA: cannot read 2nd life due to the old GPU driver

Hello

I have a windows 7, Toshiba Satellite L650 PSK1JA 0K 4017, ATI mobility Radeon HD5650 video card and I m unable to use second life (everything in the universe is a pink color) and its unusable because I need a display driver updated

I tried the AMD site and am unable to install their drivers as they say that they are not compatible and I need to get my driver from the manufacturer (toshiba)

Problem is that the Toshiba display driver is very outdated 15/03/2010
When will they ever update this particular driver and if not what anyone know a work around for this problem.

Why is the old driver. ?? If I can fix t this problem I'm going to buy a new laptop and it certainly won't be a Toshiba again. Useless, if they update their drivers.

> When will they ever update this particular driver and if not what anyone know a work around for this problem.
I put t when drivers will be updated, but there is a workaround to install the driver AMD/ATI on Toshiba laptop. You must do so via Device Manager.

First you need to download the driver and need to save it somewhere on the HARD drive (IE desktop). Unzip the package. Then, go to the Device Manager, choose the graphics card and choose Update driver. Now, we must choose the 2nd install option that allows you to point to the downloaded folder and choose the location where the driver must be installed.
Then point to the driver folder saved on the desktop and the system should pick up the files automatically.

Welcome them

    Usually, you should always use Toshiba driver because drivers are supported for GPU overheating protection.
    If you want to use other drivers, then you can do this at your own risk.

  • No access to the Satellite L650 (PSK1JA) network

    Hello

    I have a portable satellite L650-PSK1JA-0ED017 who is struggling to find network devices.

    The history on this laptop is... Hard drive failed, so a replacement was installed (Win7 home x 64) OS has been reinstalled from the recovery disks created at time of purchase. The laptop worked perfect for about 2 months, but all of a sudden would not load drivers LAN or WLAN.

    I tried to uninstall and reinstall, using the existing driver and also download the driver from Toshiba. I always get the message "Windows could not load the drivers for this device error 31". I suspected hardware fail, but managed to restart and get the old HDD running and was able to see available networks, so that rejected this theory.

    Then I suspected viruses or Malware, but ran scans for them and found nothing.

    Can anyone suggest how to remove all traces of existing drivers so that I can reinstall with cost downloads to check there is not a corrupted file the cause.

    I tried to plug in a USB networking device and also get the "error 31, Windows cannot load driver". IM starting to think that this is not some other driver to do with the network, rather than a specific network device driver interfaces.

    I tried to do a Sysprep in the OOBE, while keeping all the data of the software that we have installed / copied, but it does not and I have been unable to fill.

    Really, I don't want to do a cover of the OS, but I'm as a last resort.

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi Jon

    I use laptops Toshiba several years now and I was ever faced with such a problem, especially if the laptop is preinstalled with original recovery image. Recovery image contains tested drivers and they work. I noticed that Windows update offers for some driver WLAN models as optional update. I hope you didn t install.

    Googling around for you can find many links and forums on such topic debates. You can check out what write about other people, but if you can't fix it with reinstalling the driver I assume there must be a problem with the registry entries. It is quite complicated to clean especially for someone who doesn t have enough experience with that.

    In my opinion you should backup all your data and reinstall the recovery image. Start using the laptop with preinstalled OS clean and check from time to time restore point.
    I know it is the last option but more simple and more efficient.

  • Portable Satellite 1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require files avi (codec)

    my laptop satellite S1800-750 cannot read DVDs that require avi (codec) files. l have updated dvd drivers and upgrades of my multimedia player of series 10, but nothing helped. I need emergency aid.

    Hello

    I suggest, that it can not ONLY play .avi files. Am I wrong?
    In this case, you need additional codecs.
    This has nothing to do with the DVD drivers or firmware.
    Check the internet for the codec. I'm sure you will find a lot of info if you want to google a bit.

  • Satellite L650 PSK1JA - WLAN not turn market / unable to install WLAN

    Can someone help with my problem here? I tried for three days straight and still can't find a solution.

    My laptop Satelite L650 PSK1JA-07E017 was not able to connect wireless recently.

    I just reformatted my laptop today (due to other problems) and now I've discovered
    1. initially, my laptop toshiba (Out-of-box-state) has no WLAN driver installed, as the time I checked the network sharing Center, I can only see LAN (Atheros AR81 Ethernet). (How I connect wire all this time?)

    2 so knowing this, I tried to download several WLAN (Atheros/Broadcom) drivers, however.
    -The WLAN Atheros driver seem won't install. At the time wherever I run the Setup, nothing happened.
    -Broadcom WLAN (802.11n) actually worked once, but at the moment where I restarted my laptop, Broadcom has disappeared from the * list * of network card

    The two pilots have been taken site main support 'Download '.

    I tried to find a solution, sometimes the broadcom WLAN works, sometimes it doesn't, at least until today.

    Even if it works, it would connect to the network only for about 5 minutes or more, and after that, the connection would be "unable to connect".

    Now today

    1. the wireless network don't light even this (orange light). At the time where he blink is at the time wherever I turned on my computer, but after the screen TOSHIBA (the screen where you choose to go into your BIOS setting/BOOT), the light is turned off suddenly.

    2. and when the led is off, I cannot allow it, as there is no WLAN driver on my computer (heck, how the led lights?). So FN + F8 key is completely disabled.

    3. no matter how many times I install driver WLAN, it is either
    -The installation program did nothing, no response, nothing happened (Atheros WLAN driver, each of them)
    -The installer worked but will not appear as a network adapter.

    4. I saw a forum response speaks of TBSWireless which is located in the folder of Toshiba, I tried and there is no answer at all, nothing, nothing popp'ed upwards.

    I used to think that it is caused by overheating, but apparently, I don't think that it is the cause more (as my laptop is totally cold right now)

    This problem happened the first time a year ago, but never appear again until this year. Normally it is just reseting network card and it's all fixed. However, because now I have no WLAN driver (where my connection is a box with the Red Cross) there is nothing I can do. I can't install it, or I can't do a thing about it.

    If there is something I need to install everything first (before installing the driver WLAN) can anyone an overview which for me?

    and apparently my warranty expired last year some time so I can not really ask Toshiba to fix it (unless I pay)

    What happens with the troubleshooter? I guess who got no help when executing that.

    You shouldn't VAP for function keys to work properly?

  • Satellite L505 - 14K - cannot read Windows key label CoA

    Hello.

    I have a Satellite L505 - 14K on which I need to reinstall Windows 7 Home Premium, but Windows key on the label is unreadable. Could I get a replacement for it?

    Also I can not read the HARD drive Windows code because it has been formatted before that I get this laptop in my hands...
    Maybe I can get either a phone number or e-mail address to a branch of Toshiba Polish, so I could communicate with them in this case?

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Toshiba doesn't provide the keys to series for windows systems. On the label, you'll find the serial OEM key but this key cannot be used for activation of the system.
    Toshiba offers a clean recovery image that already contains the active Windows System.

    This recovery disk can be ordered here:

  • Re: Satellite A300-21V cannot read CD - RW

    Hi, my Satellite a300-21V with SSTCorp TS-L633A DVD - RW drive not working (no no reading, no combustion) with CD-RW(however works fine with DVD-RW); I've updated firmware to TO03 TO1 (from the toshiba site), but no effect. also I changed the BIOS settings with the compatibility (changing compatibility AHCI) mode, but no progress.

    > changed BIOS with compatibility mode settings (switch from AHCI compatibility), but no progress.
    This setting has no influence on the CD/DVD drive
    This setting affects only the HARD disk controller and using compatibility mode no SATA driver for the HARD disk controller is necessary.

    In case you I recommend you remove the filters above and below as mentioned here:

    Also I recommend that you test different CD - RW from different manufacturers.
    I made good experiences with TDK discs

    I just tried to get my laptop Satellite A200-28 to read my camera, an SD card and it happens in the card reader, but nothing happens.

    To what extent do you have to press or on my desktop, is not go very far before the card starts to blink and it opens the contents of the card. But on my laptop nothing.
    Just, it lets you put the card in but does not seem to realize is there actually.

    Any help on this would be much appreciated as it would be so great could receive laptop to read my camera card as easily as my office.

  • Satellite L505D-GS6000 cannot read files on recovery CD

    Hello

    Ive been trying to reset my Toshiba SATELLITE L505D-GS6000 and I get to the wizzard of recovery and he said: copying files.

    After about a half hour it it comes up with an error message saying: he can't read the files on the Cd.
    Is there another way to restore? or I have to pay for the new recovery cd?

    Hello

    Perhaps the disc is scratched or the CD/DVD drive laser lens is dirty.
    Try to clean the lens of alcohol or cotton tip.

    If this is not enough, try to copy the recovery to another disk disc using other computers.
    Then try to restore the Toshiba laptop using the new disk created.

    If this is not enough, order a new disc.

  • Satellite L650-11F - cannot install driver page of the ATI graphics card

    The problem is the control of catalyst can I install without problem but when I try to install the site display drivers driver ati I get this error:
    ATI catalyst mobility can t be downloaded due to the incompatibility of hardware/software on your computer. The version of your driver card is not supported. for an update of the graphics driver, contact the manufacturer of your laptop.

    How should I update with the latest display drivers cause the manufacturer are 6 months old?

    Hello

    You have a few problems with the Toshiba display driver?
    Graphics drivers from Toshiba are modified for mobile use, this means that the Toshiba drivers support for GPU overheating protection.
    ATI drivers don t support this protection and this is the reason why you get this message.
    Generally, you have to take the driver of Toshiba page

    Of course, it is possible to install the ATI drivers also.
    But you would need to install the driver in Device Manager.
    To use the Advanced installation procedure that would allow to choose the driver downloaded from the ATI page you simply forcing windows to choose such driver

    But note; You can use these drivers ONLY at your own risk

    If you do a search of the forum, you can find the number of threads on your problem. Have you tried to remove the upper/lower case filters to the registry? Try to use high quality media like Word to Word and Tdk, clean with a lens cleaning disc. It's typical responses to your problem. If it does not help, it may be hardware issue. By the way, have you tried to reset to factory settings?
