  Hello
  This is my first post here - just got a satellite R630-144 and after complete installation, I tried to start inet via broadcom 802.11n adapter (which is a NVR).
  The connection is stable - unfortunately only with max 65 Mbps. cannot find any point in the settings that allows to increase the bandwidth up to more than 100 Mbps.
  Can anyone help?
  If there is no option to improve - anyone know how to change the map - Broadcom or how to open the bottom of the Satellite R630-144.

  Thanks for the replies

  Maybe you should check the WLAN driver version first and install the most recent version of the Toshiba WLAN portal - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

• Satellite R630-144: faded for a few seconds the time display time

  Hello

  I have problem with my laptop.
  From time to time the screen greyed out for a few seconds and restore again.
  It is not serious laptop runs on battery or plugged in.

  Can someone give me an advice?

  Hello

  Theoretically, it could be just a problem of software; for example, display driver starts to do strange things in this case, that I recommend the update or reinstall the display driver to check if it could contribute

  But it could also be a hardware problem; FL-inverter
  FL inverter is a small part that controls the backlight so theoretically, it could also be the FL inverter malfunction, but that's just my guess
  This should be checked by a technician for more information.

• Satellite R630-155 - fan is too loud and SSD update

  I am the owner of a Toshiba Satellite R630-155 (Core i5-480). My problems are:

  1. the fan is too loud and never stops. In normal operation (navigation and General Office work) there is a constant high pitch noise which is audible three to four meters in a desktop - high load environment, you just can't take it anymore! The fan never stops... even when you do nothing...

  2. the heat is a big problem. The bottom of the laptop is overheated constantly and I have to place on my desk so that the lower left corner is outside the table, so it can breathe fresh air from below - otherwise, the temperature rises and the (noisy) fan is unable to follow. When I work with the laptop sitting on a couch, I place a thick book between the laptop and my legs. The book must be thick (more than one inch) with hard covers, otherwise the heat going through the book!

  3. last (but not least, I will mention the biggest problems here) that's the problem with the installation of the SSD. I bought a used Corsair F80 (80 GB SSD) from a friend, but I was unable to use it with the Toshiba - BIOS not detect the disc. I tried to install all the latest updates for portable and SSDS but I had no success. Then I put the disc and I bought a brand new Zalman 128 GB SSD (SSD0128N1 Sandforce) but I had exactly the same problem. I contacted my local support Toshiba and after much conversation, the only answer I got is that the laptop is not compatible with these SSDS, and it is acceptable by Toshiba and not their problem. They told me that if I need an SSD upgrade I cannot go for the Toshiba SSD that is installed on the portege series, which is sold by Toshiba for a ridiculously expensive price - about $500 for 128 GB. I contacted the European support center and I got the same exact answer. I searched the Internet and found someone else with exactly the same problem with a Corsair 128 GB SSD - he concluded that the laptop detects the SSD after ten to twenty resets. I tried and it was true - after a lot of restarts the detected disk Zalman laptop and I was able to successfully install Windows 7, but the process is unacceptable. Also the drive is rated by the sites official at the speed of an OCZ Vertex 2 128 GB (and a little better), but when I ran a cue point in the Toshiba, the results I got were less than half of the advertised speed. Same reference in another machine of the same disc, resulted in the announced speeds.

  Shame for Toshiba...-beautiful design and portability, but all the rest is a big flaw. Their support in non-existent and they do not appreciate their customers. According to me, they stole my money and I will never buy a Toshiba laptop again.

  Sorry for the big message, but I need, I warn potential customers. Can anyone help me with any of these problems? You also have the same problems?

  To follow...

  Hey Buddy,

  With regard to the issue of fan and the heat: you did it BIOS update? A friend told Satellite R630 too and he told me that the fan with the new BIOS version 2.10 activity is reduced. In addition, the laptop is colder than before so I recommend to install this update. You can download the update of the BIOS here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But before you start the update of the BIOS, you should consider the following tips:
  -Run update as an administrator only
  -Unzip all files from zip archive before launching the update file
  -Close all running programs as the antivirus and firewall
  -Make sure the battery is fully charged

  With regard to the SSD it s still a little complicated to install 3rd party products and no one can guarantee that these parts would not work. You're always on the side safely with original spare parts from Toshiba.

  All you can do is to install the new firmware for SSDS and hope that it works, but who knows maybe the BIOS update will help you also in this case ;)

• Satellite R630 Bios password suddenly failing!

  I have a Satellite R630 since October 2010 and already I had to reinstall Windows 7 due to fun with the OS and various issues, which some will find to bloat ware as Toshiba have packed and some who are with the OS (what a surprise).
  But somethings are to do with the laptop, a space key, which does not always work (esp on the right side) is the least of my problems today.

  With no apparent guest today he asked a supervisor bios password.
  The password that I set, failed. Its reboot then cancelled by asking me the password for the user. But it has not yet.
  I tried all bios passwords I can think, I even plugged in to an external keyboard.
  Nothing, I'm locked out.

  Worse still, when I search on the internet I find that it is not such a rare "feature" of the Bios Toshiba. Is this a case that I need to send it in, or you can access the battery on this model?
  Everyone had it / found a solution?

  Hey,.

  I searched a bit here in the forum and I couldn't t found these similar topics so it doesn t seem to
  be a common problem.

  Fact is if you forgot the password you can t remove yourself. This is possible only from an authorized service provider. So in my opinion, you must contact the guys to get rid of the password.
  I m guys are going to help you :)

• 15 "version of the Toshiba Satellite R630

  I am migrating from a 13 "MacBook Pro because, frankly, I can't stand his fragile keyboard. As a writer, most of my creative energies are hi-jacked by rage whenever I have do typo. Indeed, which is very common. I've identified on the Toshiba Satellite R630 as one with which I do business the keyboard and I'm a fan of Toshiba computers in general.

  However, I have enough desire to a screen 15 '' rather than another 13 "one. Anyone would be able to recommend a very similar to the R630s of Satellite from Toshiba model which comes with a 15 "display? I realize I will probably have to compromise on battery life, but I'm willing to do that. Ideally, it would take 4 GB of RAM, an identical, good keyboard map graphics and excellent display.

  My budget is between £650 and £1,000.

  Any help much appreciated.

  What do you think about 16?
  I mean that the keyboard or similar (and keypad) is used on the Satellite A660.
  I have 3 months now and it is great piece of hardware.

• Satellite R630 - difference between 13V and 14 days

  Hello

  I think to buy a Satellite R630, but I'm confused on the different versions. I've narrowed down to these two, 13V or 14 days.
  13V is less expensive (150-200), a larger HARD drive (500 GB compared to 320 GB) and weighs about 200 g. the battery of the 13V is the worst, it has only 6 cells and ~ 8 hours maximum, while the 14 days has 9 cells and up to 12 hours.
  Is this really the only difference, and if this is the case, would it be possible to replace the battery then with cell 9 since the 14 days?

  thx for your help!

  Hey,.

  I also checked the specifications of Toshiba's official website and I found the same difference you.

  Theoretically, the two parties (HARD drive and battery) can be replaced on both models very easy, so in the end, you must decide which model you prefer.

  My personal opinion would be R630-13V because the 8 hour battery life is really enough in my opinion and if you need more energy, buy an extra battery or replace the 6 cells with a 9cell. :)

• Satisfied by Epox BT BT-DG06B and Satellite M70-144

  Hello!

  I bought the Epox bluetooth dongle. It also manages the bluetooth version 2.0 and 30 metres range.
  I use it via battery Microsoft BT who was already installed by default on my laptop Satellite m70-144.

  I think that my BT is not compatible with the Toshiba BT stack, or? Why should I use some other stack as stack windows? Are there differences between the batteries?

  Can I use my Nokia 6260 as a modem via BT. that was what I wanted.

  First of all, I tried to install software from toshiba is delivered with epox adapter but failed every time to install on my computer toshiba laptop. He was unable to install all the drivers and Setup was a loop... I also tried the most recent software (downloaded from www epox site) but the same effect.

  Really amazing was that this installation has worked well with my laptop to another, but not with Toshiba.

  By the way could someone tell me what is PAN and why should I use?

  Hello Vincent

  In my opinion, you can use what you want, and no one forced to use software from Toshiba. If you want you can use the battery Windows BT.

  I have Motorola mobile phone and use the Toshiba BT software. It works perfectly. The configuration is pretty easy.

  With PAN (or maybe PIN) number you average on key to past of identification for matching between laptop and mobile phone?

• Satellite L300-144 does not start

  Hello!

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300-144 arrested beginning after about 2 weeks of no use with the following sympthoms:
  -When DC cable is unplugged, none of its lights are turned on and pressing the button "power on" (and others) does nothing;
  -When DC cable is connected, 'DC IN' led is _blinking green_, led battery is _blinking orange_, others are turned off. by pressing the button "power on" (and others) does nothing.

  Waited for over an hour with DC cable connected try to charge the battery of the laptop without change.

  I have not found the meaning of this signal (DC IN green, battery flashes orange flashing) in my manual.

  What is this means problem with the battery of the laptop?

  How can I fix?

  Hello

  Flashing led DC-IN is not a good sign.
  Of my knowledge led begin to blink when a hardware error has been found.
  I'm not sure if this will help but try a short workaround:
  -remove the battery, disconnect the adapter
  -wait about an hour and then reconnect the two part.
  -try to turn on the laptop

  Check if it helps.
  But if this work around won t help you, then you would have no choice but to get in touch with ASP in your country.

  Sorry, but that's all I can suggest.

• Satellite R630 - integrated webcam does not

  Hello

  I hope someone can help me.

  My built-in webcam on my Toshiba Satellite R630 spontaneously stopped working in the last two weeks.

  I tried:

  -Check if it is enabled in the BIOS and there is no option to select a webcam here.
  -Restore my laptop computer to a previous state when the camera worked. This no longer works.
  -Updated the driver for the webcam - it installs the driver but then it disappears and nothing happens.

  A few things that it might help to know:

  -In Device Manager, "imaging devices" are missing, so I can't find the driver for the webcam here.
  -J' used to get a pop-up whenever I turned on my laptop which was loading a webcam bluetooth but saying that he could not. This stopped happening; I think I turned it off in msconfig.
  -It is not a hardware problem
  -Yesterday, I had a weird time breakthrough - I downloaded an app on my phone to try to use it as a webcam through bluetooth. I had activated bluetooth on my phone and laptop. I plugged my phone into my laptop and the pop-up the camera bluetooth (see previous point) came, but this time worked without the error message. However, instead of my phone works like a webcam, the blue light came next to my integrated webcam and who has started working. I thought it was fixed then all closed and ejected my phone and webcam stopped working again. I tried to repeat this sequence, but with no joy.

  I'm really frustrated and ideas. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  If imagine device isn't listed in Device Manager, it means that the module is not found. Even if the driver is not installed, the module must be included in the BIOS as imagine device, unknown device, etc.
  But this isn't the case

  So I think there are two possibilities: the module's fault or the connection between the module and the motherboard (Controller) isn t put in place.

  As far as I know the internal webcam module is connected to the USB controller.
  If the connection drops (cable) the module will not be recognized in Device Manager

  From my point of few, it must be a nuisance material

• Where to buy parts for Satellite R630-155?

  Back to Christmas, I stupidly pulled my lap top on the floor to break the case and the hard drive.

  I got the case and the hard drive replaced with a local pc due to recommendations repair company.
  Unfortunately my confidence was misplaced and 5 months I still do not have a decent wifi pick up and I also discovered that the camera more light built into the front of the screen of the cover is missing.
  I've been to the repairman but seems empty and not joy.

  I know that to take a glance that it is has taken a multi white plastic for at least the camera
  So nobody knows where can I buy spare parts if all goes well for the missing camera and light and the Wifi component.

  At the moment I am hated to part with the R630 because it proved invaluable when traveling because it is light and before Christmas 2012 ideal to pick up wifi signals in hotels and cruise ships.

  Secondly, I am in September who travel outside China, hong kong, Japan, Singapore &

  Can anyone recommend a modern equivalent not so expensive for the Satellite R630 I can search and buy?

  I look around before repairs and might find something equivalent on £1,800.

  Hope someone can help
  Thank you very much
  Rossnagh

  It is very difficult to find these parts for laptops, especially for new models of portable computers.
  Best place to get these things is Toshiba authorized provider. They can order these parts but I don't know if they'll sell it for you or they only order it if they can repair your laptop.

  You can try to contact ASP and ask for help. Addresses and phone numbers, you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

  It is not easy to give you some good advice on other phones but I think for the trip and extremely mobile use series Z Satellite can be very good alternative for you.

  Check the Toshiba website for your country a little and pick up some info on equipment and the price of course.

• No 3D video on external projector not connected to the Satellite R630 - 14H

  I bought a projector that supports 3D 1080 p videos.
  I plugged in my laptop Toshiba Satellita R630 - 14H with a HDMI cable which should also support 3D.
  I used reading software that should also support 3D and downloaded a few demos to the SBS format.

  But when I play these videos, they are really displayed side by side and not as 3D.
  When I say the beamer from 2D to 3D, it always says that the entrance is not in 3D.
  The program of Intel graphics driver that has been pre-installed lists a 3D option.

  What version of HDMI the R630 - 14 H uses?
  Support 3D-video?
  Am I missing something else?

  > I plugged into my laptop Toshiba Satellite R630 - 14H with a HDMI cable which should also support 3D.

  Where did you get or find information about the 3D on this laptop support?
  Technical data Toshiba Satellite R630 - 14 H says that this support unit unit internal Intel HD graphics.

  Sorry mate but this isn't 3D capable graphics card and I don t think 3D release would be possible.

  To be able to use an external 3D monitor or projector, you would need a laptop with compatible 3D graphics card. For example a GPU nVidia Driver compatible 3D display, (NVIDIA 3D Vision Kit) 3D glasses and 3D compatible monitor or projector (120 Hz).

• Satellite R630-105 - touchpad freezes in time

  Hi all

  Toshiba Satellite R630-105 model.
  When writing for some time (using the keyboard) without any regulated touchpad icon character appears on the screen, and sometimes the temporary blockage appears.

  At the same time, I use a USB mouse, and I disabled the touch pad using the Fn + F9 Tin order to eliminate the problem.
  Disable the USB mouse using the internal keyboard to score in the option panel-> mouse menu.

  Currently installed Synaptics 15.0.12.0 driver version dated the 11.03.2010.
  I also tried the drivers install later, but don t get a good result.

  I tried the solutions but it doesn't this link:

  If you would appreciate a fix or suggestion for a solution.

  + The message was edited: assignment has been translated.

  If I understand your question, the touchpad icon appear while typing and this can be solved temporarily disable the touchpad by pressing the FN + F9.
  Is this correct?

  To my knowledge, you can disable the touchpad while typing by selecting the option in the control panel > mouse-> tab device pointing (in some cases its Advanced tab)-> setting button

  There are area called operations during key entry
  And here, you can choose the option is called tapping to disable and turn off scroll function
