Re: Satellite L655-11J flash map F8 missing 8.1 Win

First I searched on the internet I've read so many threads on this subject but none is regarding my problem.
My wireless card is Broadcom 8.11n + + with ID PCI\VEN_14E4 & DEV_4727

Is not supported by new PVAT flash cards which I had to install in Windows 8.1

I noticed that in Windows 7 when I tried to install a new version of PVAT the F8 is missing,
If I was stuck in an old version.

I tied to add my ID wireless to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessAPL\BT WLANDP
as it is not listed with no luck

I think the only way is to contact the PVAT developers and ask them to re - support my wireless again in a new version if they make one, as I badly need it disable Bluetooth wireless as well.
Although I can turn the WIFI off but the light will stay on.
I there is another way, can someone say I'm willing to try

Thanks in advance

> Is not supported by new PVAT flash cards which I had to install in Windows 8.1

As far as I know the Satellite L655-11 isn t Win 8 taken in charge the laptop model and also 8.1 win is not supported too.

It s are only not on this WINDOWS 8.1 - made MODELS page supported UPDATE
http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8_1Compatible.do?service=EU

This means that there is no 8 Win / Win 8.1 drivers for the L655 series.

_Secondly_
The VAP (value added package) isn't out to win 8 or 8.1 Win
The VAP has been replaced by the system of Toshiba driver
In addition to get the FN key works, the utility Toshiba function key to winning 8.1 must be installed.

These two tools are needed to get the keys FN (also the F8 key) works correctly under Win 8 or 8.1 Win

    My temp Satellite L655-11J used to be under full load of cpu 75 now, it's about 80 ~ 85 maybe because of the heat wave, I don't know

    I disabled the Intel Turbo Boost technology and its high value at full load is now about 68 ~ 69 and the laptop is not hot at all, and I did not notice a difference in performance, so you should try it if your laptop gets hot

    > My question is there utility to disable through windows?

    Usually, this must be done in the BIOS.
    But as far as I know Toshiba offer a tool called Toshiba HWSetup located in all programs-> Toshiba.
    This software allows you to change some settings in the BIOS Windows System.

    I m not very good if you the Intel Turbo Boost Technology options are available in the HWSetup utility, but you can check it otherwise you will have to change the settings in the BIOS

  • Satellite L655-11j - issue of fan of Lola, fix it myself

    Hey, sorry for this thread, but I wanted to share my experience with you hope it helps someone someday, as I like Toshiba and I think that it the best :)

    NOTE, this is for my model only, you can have different bios and it will not work for you, so use at YOUR OWN RISK

    I was playing NFS rival as always all of a sudden my laptop off, the lights were off, and it won't turn.

    I unplugged he waited a while, plugged and it worked, except that the fan was working all the time @ average speed and if the laptop went to sleep mode, the fan does not at all, and an error message will appear Windows I have to take my laptop for repair because of the cooling (can not remember exactly the message)

    I tired a lot nothing worked I won't explain it will take some time, I was afraid to work on my laptop with the fan always on at average speed, doing it could damage the CPU or GPU.

    I re-flashed the BIOS again that solved my problem. now the fan is off, when there is some CPU or use GPU it will work at the 3 speed (low medium high) depends on the load and heat :)

    but to Flash my bios again there some tweak, first of all, I could not download new cause of the bios, don't show me no result in the download page (hope someone can help with the download page http://www.toshibamea.com/en/Download-Files of fixing).

    so I tried my old one I downloaded long ago, but it does not update because this is not a new version, so I extracted the exe using 7-zip, edited the file platform.ini flag from 1 to 0, I copy and you can read the explanation and execution of InsydeFlash.exe so re-flashed my bios and my fan works again :)

    [Bios_Version_Check]
    flag = 0

    ; This indicator is the Version of Bios checking switch. When the indicator is 1, utility will be
    ; check the Version of the Bios. If the rom Version file is older that the Bios utility will display warnning
    ; message and close the application. When the flag is 0, utility not to check the version of the rom file.
    ; When the indicator is 2, that depend on the BIOS report.

    Thank you very much for your interesting thread and share your experience with your Toshi.
    It's very nice that you take seriously and write clear words on the risk to do something like that.

    any solution please, I had this problem the use first of it :(

    Hello

    You have other software or drivers after installing Windows 7 or that happen you directly after the installation of recovery of Windows 7?

    In your case I would try to disable some startup programs and if McAfee Antivirus is still installed, remove it and install another program like AntiVir antivirus.
    Then test again if you have still a lot of HARD drive activity.

    If so follow the instructions posted by Akuma.

  • Satellite L655-1EM - why LED flashes all the time?

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon and since I have had on a light keeps flashing.

    It's next to a short fat cylinder.
    Any help would be appreciated, I have everything turned off and it still flashed!
    My old laptop did not do that.

    The LED is really bright so it is very sensitive, and it flashes even in hibernation mode.

    Hello

    First of all, I would recommend consulted the user manual in order to know what LED is.
    I guess you mean HDD LED and this led continues to blink if data could be read or written to the HARD disk

But when I used it, a mistake was "copy of splitpart or the Canadian Red Cross has failed!" After that, I can't boot my laptop more. There is a message "BOOTMNGR missing."

  • Satellite L655-1HC - how to disable Bluetooth using Win 10

    Hello

    I am using TOSHIBA SATELLITE L655-1HC, recently upgraded to 10 of Windows, but my Bluetooth is not be disabled.

    I tried everything, but no result at all. I think maybe it's like the driver support for Windows 7.

    How can I for me? or is there another solution to make of (the necessary key is missing, by the way).

    1. go to "Device Manager".
    2. in Device Manager, expand Bluetooth.
    3. right click generic Bluetooth adapter and update the driver.
    4. re-start.
    5. now you should be able to turn off/turn on the BT

  • Satellite L655 - cannot download drivers

    I am trying to reinstall a Satellite L655 and getting snookered in all directions.

    1. I created recovery disks for installation on the old, due to lack of hard drive. When I install them (after watching paint dry for about an hour), it restarts and then fails on the first round - "installation of windows could not configure windows to run on a hardware on this computer." Suggestions Forum about this error did not help.

    2. the support of partners in South Africa have no copies of the factory recovery disks. They tell me they upload ad hoc drivers from the support site.

    3. I tried to clone the old disk (Windows runs on it, after all) but CloneZilla barfed on bad sectors.

    4. I installed Windows from a Microsoft OEM installation disk image. It runs, but obviously requires some hardware drivers. So I downloaded most of the people I need, like the map LAN, Intel Chipset and soundcard. But the WIFI drivers and screen just download: these are the largest files (60MO & 123 MB respectively) and downloads fail before the end. WELL before the end. I tried several times, using a significant amount of my allocation of bandwidth for the month (we have capped access here in black Africa!)

    I tried the download from another site, I have remote access, perhaps thinking that there is something wrong with my broadband - and got exactly the same problem. The remote site has the speed of the Internet about 6 MB/s - surely enough for a 120 MB file transfer? Apparently not.

    I tried these downloads from before the time of breakfast, through the afternoon and night, and it's now after midnight, all with the same results (I'm on a time zone that is in the middle of the Euro zones).

    From Toshiba Web site does not support download resuming, and there is no mirror sites. What happens in the blue flames is a person supposed to do?

    * UPDATE *.
    Download of driver WLAN 60MO on remote site succeeded on the second try. 120Mo adapter driver has not yet earlier on the second attempt to display. I don't see much point in trying once again, have you?

    * UPDATED MORE *.

    'Config' free download that I thought was the WLAN driver, turned out be just the crapware "config utility" and does not include the pilot. (Apparently), there is no driver for the wireless card. So I am always without WiFi and the screen is stretched wide.

    Oh and I tried to look elsewhere compatible drivers - the hardware ID displayed in the Device Manager tell me that the wireless card is a _Broadcom Dell 1501/1503/1701 a half Mini Card_ and graphic adapter is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD5650M_ _AMD. So I googled those chains, found things almost identical or very similar (on the Dell site!) that I downloaded - don't. Not good, "hardware not present on your computer.

    Anyone know where I'm going now?
