• Satellite P850 138 - updated graphics card is possible?

  My Toshiba Satellite P850 138 comes with an nvidia GT 630 M graphics card. I know to replace the graphics card (if it is even possible) is a long-term work... but can someone tell me if I CAN upgrade the graphics card and if yes, what options are available?

  Very often on this forum, we discussed on GPU, or replacement upgrade and you will find many topics with the same theme.
  You have a mobile unit and upgrade possibilities are very limited due to many different factors.
  Generally the upgrade GPU is not supported and you should not experiment.
  Nice article on this subject, you can find on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  By the way: it must be fairly new laptop model. Why you didn t buy machine with more powerful and better graphics card?

• Satellite P850 138 - left button of the touchpad works most completely

  My touchpad started acting strange.

  left mouse button has stopped working completely and the right hand one worked only intermittently, and whenever I clicked on legs, be it firefox, IE, Safari, or whatever it is in the menu at the bottom such as a folder bar or whatever it is she she closed (no im not not by clicking on the red X)

  Then all of a sudden after awhile he would all start working again. This has happened twice now.
  Restart the system doesn't do nothing there just suddenly starts and stops all of a sudden, but the periods for which it occurs seems to get more time.

  Also the icon of touchpad in the corner with the cross through it has decided to turn its self on a few days ago and found out that the touchpad was disabled on its own and figured out how to re-enable.

  I know this isn't a virus as ive run lots of different anti virus on my system and I was wondering if his time to restart the computer in the store and get a replacement as ive she was only 4 months old

  Its really annoying as im a photographer and rely on this laptop for editing phot o. can someone please help :)
  My model is satellite P850 138

  Hello

  My personal opinion, you should not replace this laptop until you tried not to workarounds.
  First you don t know if its software related issue.
  The point is that if its software delivers, you could solve it easily recover the laptop using the recovery of HARD drive option.

  Please try to configure the computer laptop initial configuration using disk HARD recovery.
  Press F8-> choose fix my computer-> drive HARD recovery

  If HARD drive recovery is not available, press F12 and check if there is a HARD drive recovery option.
  After the system recovery, make sure that the touchpad and other features of the laptop.

• Satellite P850 138 - a non-visible memory and no HARD drive partition

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite P850 138 and loading up, I noticed that when that card said she had 640Go hard drive but mine is only showing the 570 GB and off that 540 GB available. on other computers laptop toshiba Ive got theres usually a partition, so I guess this must be why theres missing 100 GB.

  But when I chose to view all folders of that backup partition has not always shown. Is it a fault with the laptop or is the partition hidden for just the idiots like me can not messing around with it?

  The laptop was one given to nine and it works fine just worried that if I need to format the laptop and it reboot patients have problems and im starting to think it might be the wrong decision when buying a used laptop.
  Help, please!

  > it had 640 GB hard drive, but mine shows only 570 GB

  The point is that your HARD drive has 3 partitions.
  (1) small hidden partition that contains the Windows 7 repair files
  (2) C partition for the system
  (3) D partition for files image of Toshiba

  So don t be worried, everything is ok.

• Re: Satellite Pro A300-1EA - wireless connection, drop all the time

  Hi, I have a problem with my wireless connection fall all the time on my Satellite Pro A300 1EA.

  It happened earlier, but I've fiddled about a little with change of drivers and the removal of the connection settings for the registry and it then worked fine for months, until yesterday.

  There were several updates for Windows installed yesterday, but none of them have been updated driver for the wireless card, and they don't look like they should cause problems. The fact that the problem happened before makes me think that the updates can be anything to do with it.

  I use the * Intel PRO/Wireless 3945/4965/5100/5300 * for Vista 32 - bit version 12.2.0.11.3 drivers from the Toshiba download page.

  Other computers on the same access point have no problem, so I think it is specific to this laptop. The connection speed is normally 6 Mbps, but I cannot even check e-mail now without the abandonment of the connection.

  Laptop will be thrown against a wall soon if no one can help you.

  Thanks in advance.

  Edit: I've already made sure power settings are at maximum to the WLAN card, even if on battery, or what power management.

  Hello

  Have you tried to use the Windows System Restore feature? After that your WLAN should work fine again.

  In addition, I can recommend the latest WLAN driver in the Intel page, it s version 12.4.xxxx. I installed the driver on my Qosmio laptop and don t have any problems with it: [www.intel.com].

  If you have any other questions, please let us know!

• Wireless connection dropping on the Satellite C660-195

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite C660-195.
  However, I have problems with the wireless connection. When I bought the laptop, it was full of all the annoying and resource hungry programs Toshiba install there. I have reinstalled Windows on the laptop, just install the drivers and software, I wanted and needed. I have problems with the wireless to stay connected. I can detect wireless networks and connect to that I want to be on, I have to add is a connection at home (I'm not fly: P).

  However, the continuous wireless connection down, becoming 'limited' as it says in system tray icon but then turns back on and the process just keeps spiraling on, on and off.

  The wireless I connect works quite well using Xbox consoles, at first I thought it might be the router but after that a second thought if found the wireless on the Xbox is fine then I surely can't be the case? The laptop is Windows 7 64 bit

  Thank you

• Satellite A665-S6050 - wireless keeps dropping

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A665-S6050 who keeps dropping my internet connection every 15 minutes. I'm sure this isn't my router. This happens in my library home, second home, main, Starbucks, appoint you.

  I have to click on the connection many times sometimes disable internet and then reconnect or restart the computer, etc.. The weird part is that the window that appears when I knocked on the connection icon in the right corner of the computer shows that I am connected, but the small icon itself has that. on this subject. I'm so sick and tired of remove connections in the middle of paying bills and others, it becomes really aggravating. This just started a few months ago.

  Is there someone out there who has had this problem and can tell me how to fix it? Thank you!

  Hi ctay122,

  Let me guess. This happens while you are using the Eco mode on your laptop, right?

  I ask this question because I noticed the same behavior on my Satellite A660 and the reason is that the WLAN Card for energy savings settings will be activated in eco mode to save energy. What you have to do is disable management feature in the power management Windows for the power of energy WLAN eco profile. You must configure the network card wireless for maximum performance, then the connection will not be lost.

• Satellite T110-11U: WLan connection dropped and very slow performance

  Hi people,

  I use a Satellite T110-11U running windows 7 Home premium.

  After having initially was very satisfied with its use, it now becomes more and more frustrating to use with wifi, with connections dropped and very slow performance.

  I have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem. It seems that wireless, software of management is at fault because the networks are detected, but not clinging.

  Any suggestion or tips to try will help save my sanity!

  Thanks for your help.

  John

  > have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem.
  If you need to make sure that you use the latest WLan driver.
  The driver can be downloaded here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  The laptop uses the Realtek RTL8191SE of WLan card.
  Please also reset the settings of the Wlan router. I had a lot of problems with my WLan and after the reset of the router, performance problems disappeared.

• Satellite P850 - no internet connection to help to win 8

  Can someone help me?
  I have just upgraded to Windows 8 on my Satellite P850 and now, according to what I'm trying to do, it is sometimes said that there is no Internet connection.

  I certainly link strong, because it works very well in the new application of Internet Explorer, Norton 360 and Windows itself. But it won't work in other things on the desktop, such as iTunes, the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard, Internet Explorer on the desktop, Safari etc.

  Why is this? Of course the most important thing is the Toshiba Upgrade Wizard, but that's not very far because she needs an Internet connection.

  Please help as soon as POSSIBLE. If you need additional information, let me know.

  Hello

  This happen using LAN or WLan?
  If you have problems with internet using WiFi, I recommend that you check the connection to the local network.

  In addition, you must make sure that your software installed and other affect t tools don with that 8 to win in some cases it could be a problem software that are not compatible with Win 8 preinstalled.

  I also see that you have Norton installed check if installed security tools don t affect the internet connection!

• On Satellite L750/0 wireless connectivity issues s 5

  I own a laptop L750/0 s 5.

  I seem to have a problem with my wireless connection, where anywhere not at 10 m from the router the connection cuts in and out with the yellow sign 'limited connectivity' always appears. disconnect and reconnect solves the problem for a few minutes. Ive resorted to the close session of the router.

  the computer is 2 months old, the Wlan driver is up-to-date. power options have been configured to be on maximum performance for Wlan etc etc.

  The main thing that annoys me, it's all the others (much older laptops) in our House very much work where mine doesn't. I actually lost performance from where I can get my old toshiba portege m300 to this new wireless signals.

  In terms of information, the computer is running windows 7. Wireless network card is Atheros AR9002WB-1NG.

  If theres any other information that you need, as im sure there will be, I would like to know and ill try my best.

  The router is really new.

  Thanks for your help

  > the computer is 2 months old, the Wlan driver is up-to-date. power options have been configured to be on maximum performance for Wlan etc etc.

  The latest Wlan drivers can be found here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/?page=downloads

  Please keep in mind that you use the latest driver v9.2.0.419.0

  To be honest, I had the same idea to disable the power save for Wlan and it more often it should work are you sure that you have changed this in the same power station that is used when the laptop is running on battery power?

  However, it would be interesting to know if the Satellite L750 uses the same Wlan 802.11 standard, as do other portable
  In the Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab Wlan card, you can choose the standard Wlan 802.11

• Satellite L500 - lost wireless connection

  My Satellite L500 recently lost the wireless connection. I looked towards the top of the Realtek wireless device in Device Manager and it says that the device is functioning properly. I tried to use "ping 192.168.1.1" join the router, and I get "error Transmit - general failure."

  Any ideas?

  Hey Buddy,

  And now Windows recognize some WIFI networks at your fingertips? Your validation lost wireless connection isn't very useful

  You should try a WLAN driver update that you can download from the official page of Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  If you can't find or connect to WLAN networks deactivate in the Windows of the WLAN power save mode power profiles. You will need to set for maximum performance.
