• Difference between the Satellite A500-025 and A500-02F

  Satellite A500-02F costs about 10 percent more Satellite A500-025.

  Satellite A500-02F is much better and worth the extra money or that they are basically the same. Satellite A500-02F has a chip T6066 from the T6065 in the Satellite A500-025 much difference?

  Satellite A500-02F DDR3 memory, it will make much difference? All the other differences?

  Thank you.

  Hi junglo,

  I think that you have answered the question yourself. Satellite A500-02F has a faster CPU and DDR3 memory. It should be a little faster in programs of they need a high-performance CPU and in games for example.

  It s also according to the programs you want to use, but I would choose the faster model. I n buy t each year a new laptop then I would choose the fastest and 10% difference isn t so. ;)

• When the Satellite A500 comes out in Europe?

  Hello world

  I wanted to know if anyone knew when the Satellite A500 will be released in Europe (including France) because I was going to buy the A300D-219 ([http://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/ordinateurs-pc-portables/toshiba-satellite-a300d-219/f-107092212-PSAHCE01U00LFR.html?search=toshiba&trilist=0&numpa ge = 1])

  But if the A500 comes out in 1 month is perhaps not worth, I need it for my studies, so for September...

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I read somewhere on some pages that the Satellite A500 is to be released in July 09.
  Then maybe you might be able to order end of July or beginning of August

  But I recommend you to contact your local dealer for details

  See you soon

• Touchpad no longer works after update BIOS on Satellite A500-1GL

  Hello world

  I just bought my laptop Satellite A500-1GL today. I started at the top and plays a bit (nothing serious). The touchpad worked very well at the moment.

  Then I discovered this tool to update the material and the update of the BIOS that worked without any problems. After I restarted the laptop, BIOS, loaded the default values of the installation and recorded.
  After that Windows 7 (x 64) started the touchpad no longer works...

  I downloaded the driver here and installed again once, still does not. I went into the BIOS, disabled the touchpad (I thought that maybe it's a bug...) and started again. It still does not...

  I enabled it again in the BIOS, tried to push the function + F9, but it still does not... Finally, I used the recovery and installed a Windows 7 costs.
  But unfortunately it still doesn't.

  Now, I'm out of ideas, can anyone help?
  Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

  Thanks in advance ;)

  Hello

  It seems strange that after update Bios touchpad no longer works.

  > Is there a chance to get the older version of BIOS to downgrade it?

  To be honest, I don't know where to find. In any case, do a search on Google. Perhaps, other users of the forum can give you a link to download.
  The downgrade of the Bios is riskier upgrade procedure. So, be careful the next time...
  Advice for the future; Do not touch the running system.

  Good luck!

• Can I switch to i5 or i7 Core 2 Duo on the Satellite A500-PSAM3A

  Hey there.

  I wondered if I would be able to change the cpu on my computer of my 2.10 Ghz Intel core 2 duo processor i5 or i7 and wanted to know if I could, because I heard all that stuff about requiring a special chipset or a new card mother for something like that.

  Oh Yes... my laptop model is Toshiba Satellite A500-PSAM3A-04000E

  So as I said, I would appreciate an answer as soon as possible.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  + Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop? +
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  _Why an Exchange must / can not be done: _

  No significant performance will be won (-> price vs performance comparison)

  It is unclear if the new processor is compatible to the system board. Integrated chipsets can take charge of their technical specifications a wide range of processors, but this does not mean that all types of CPU can be used in a mobile system, since integrated cooling systems are designed individually for each set of model in order to ensure the optimal operation of the machine. An incorrect CPU can cause the system to overheat and damage the internal system components.

  In most cases, the BIOS does not work with the replaced CPU which causes a malfunction of the machine. The BIOS needs to be rewritten after each Exchange of a CPU that can only be done by an authorized Toshiba service partner.

  The immediate revocation of the warranty will apply if the part of the core component have been modified by the customer. This also applies when the machine was not disassembled by a certified Toshiba technician.

• Update on the Satellite P100 (4200 RPM at 5400 RPM) HARD drive

  I had my laptop game Satellite P100-347, abandoned for a while now and want to give it to my little brother. This laptops come with 4200 RPM HARD drive and I would like to know if it is upgraded to a 5400 RPM / MIN 320 GB finally fails the system or am good to start!

  Thank you!

  Unfortunately, there is no public document on update on this model of laptop HARD drive and I can't say for sure but I believe that there should be any problem. If anyone post here own experience about these updates buy the HARD drive and test it.

  If there is a problem, you can send the HARD return drive.
  This info can be useful for other members of the forum. Because of this, please post the upgrade result.

• Recovery system causing problems with the size of the screen.

  Due to some problems I had, I finally had to yield and perform a system recovery back to the manufacturer's specifications.  Once this is done, I downloaded all the updates to Vista, all the drivers, etc..  Everything is square and works fine now, with a big problem.  I bought a monitor 20 "a few months ago.  It worked fine before the recovery is done.  Since the resumption, the display is smaller, as if I still had the old monitor 15 '' on the system.  I did that the driver for the monitor is correct and up-to-date.  I found a way to enlarge the display of the size of the screen in an online search, but it does not clear up the problem.  For example... If I go to a site like the Pogo, the bottom of the site is almost normal size for the monitor, but the game pop up displays the size of the screen 15 ''.  I tried everything I know and can't get this last problem fixed.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.  I also checked the resolution and makes sure it's OK for this monitor.  Thanks for your help.

  Do you have the driver from Microsoft or directly from the manufacturer?  If Microsoft, go to the manufacturer website and download THE latest drivers applicable on your screen and the version of Vista (Microsoft sometimes cause problems).  Does the monitor require any firmware - if so, download and install that too much of the manufacturer's web site.  You can also update the video card drivers and firmware just in case it is the underlying cause of the problem - again go to the web site of the manufacturer to get the files rather than using those available through Microsoft.

  Go to start / Control Panel / customization / display settings / and make sure that your monitor is displayed in the drop-down list.  If this is not the case, click on the box and see if you can find your monitor and then select and make the box extend the desktop to this monitor is selected.  Go into the advanced settings, click list all Modes and try one at the top, if it is not already selected (assuming that it is appropriate for your monitor).  If this does not help, try others that are compatible with your monitor to see if you can find one that allows you to achieve your goals.  It may not work, but it's probably worth a try.

  Other than that, I don't know what to think.  You already seem to have covered most if not all of the bases.  If the above does not work, maybe someone else review this thread will have other ideas to offer.

  I hope this helps.

  Good luck!

• A few questions on the Satellite A500-19W

  Hello

  recently purhased a Toshiba Satellite A500-19w laptop. I discovered that the modem port is closed sealed. (with plastic coating) and there is no way to open it.
  Have this same problem all A500-19w. In addition, I have not received a remote control with this laptop. That would come with the package?

  -Sheldon

  Satellite A500 comes with several different hardware configurations, and it is not easy to say that all of them are the same.
  You must also understand that the notebooks are product specific to the country and I know that all platforms will not be available in all countries.
  It may therefore be that A500 all offered in your country lacks the modem port.

  Modem will not be used so often to be honest in year 2010 and my personal opinion is that users of 90% laptops it will fail.

  With remote control is the same. If the specification for your model doesn't offer information on it within the framework of the package then all should be clear to you.

• Missing Audio device (Microphone) on the Satellite A500-026 (PSAR2A 026002)

  Hello list!

  I have a laptop A500-026 Toshiba for presentations (via overhead projector) and internet communications (Skype, etc.).

  At a recent presentation, I was using the internal speakers of the place (plug in the line-out jack on my A500), but to receive a feedback from my microphone, I had used successfully in my Skype (using the built-in webcam and microphone on the A500). I tried all the solutions to cut the microphone (by selecting RIGHT click the speaker icon - recording devices do not seem to cut the Microphone) and finally the pressure and the stress of the situation too rolled my given what I was actually doing.

  Now, I don't have ANY "recording devices" AKA Microphones on the system, and I spent the last 4 days trying to reinstall the built-in microphone. I reinstalled the RealTek drivers, but there is still none identified microphone.

  All help to restore the built-in microphone of A500 would be accepted with gratitude!

  Megan in Sydney

  Hello

  You should check if the microphone has not been disabled.

  Go to control panel of-> sound-> recording tab
  You need to right click and must enable both options called hidden devices and see the disabled devices.
  Now you should see 2 microphone inputs; a second and internal microphone should belong to the external microphone jack.

  If you want to use the internal microphone and then mark it as a default device.

  See you soon

• F2 BIOS SET-UP button stopped working on the Satellite A500-1GL

  I recently bought a Satellite A500-1GL
  The use of the F2 key at startup to access the BIOS worked fine until I changed the settings in BIOS to get a faster position for Windows 7, then after this change, that the F2 key gets me to the BIOS, the computer laptop just posts to Windows 7.

  I downloaded and installed Hardware Set Up program of Toshiba which adjusts the BIOS settings while still in Windows, but how the "F2" to work again?
  I thought changing the hard drive might work, but it did not.
  I seemed to have lost access to the bios using the F2 key.

  > changed the settings in the BIOS to get a faster position for Windows 7
  Now to maybe stupid question, but what is the name of this option?

  When you start your laptop you see on the background info on the use of F2 to enter the BIOS settings, or too?

• Questions about the Satellite A500 - 14 k

  Hello

  I'll buy a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 14 k, and I would like to know:
  -It has a keyboard backlight?
  -It has a "slot loading DVD player?
  -is its remote control really on format express card?

  I am French, and the French A500 series is perhaps different.

  I speak excellent English, excuse me ;)

  Good day.

  Is this laptop already on the market in France?
  I mean that if nobody here can give you a specific answer, please contact your local dealer or online store to pick up some information directly.

  Google all over the place. I'm sure you can find some dealer who can help you.
  You are right about the different models and I think also all A500 will not be the same in all European countries. Please also note that it's first A500 series on the market and I think also for the French market, it can be changed in the future. It is possible that in a few months, you will be able to find more different models in France.

  In my country, Satellite A500 is not yet on the market. :(

• Problem installing BIOS update on the satellite U series

  Installation of Toshiba TEMPRO informed me there's an update of the BIOS (published April 7, 2010) must be installed.

  When I received this notification I downloaded the .zip file and extract its content - BIOS_UPDATE_V170.exe-, but the execution of this file, I got a popup error saying < file "c:\". ' is not accessible >. I decided there must be a bug in the installer that will be corrected in time, so I have nothing and waited.

  Today, I received another notice that the BIOS update was available, but even once, I get the same error. My c:\ folder seems OK!
  The BIOS file is in C:\TOSHIBA\ARSENAL10_10G_BIOS_UPDATE_V170_WIN where I extracted to (having initially tried to run my downloads folder, I thought I'd try also, but it seems to make no difference).

  Can anyone offer any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated.
  If not, how can I get advice from Toshiba?

  See you soon

• Update on the Satellite A100 HDD

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A100 (PSAA9A-0CU004), which came with a 80 GB hard drive.
  Anyone know the max HDD capacity this notebook can handle, as I want to upgrade to a larger disk.

  Thank you

  AFAIK the Satellite A100 already has a HARD drive with SATA interface.

  On the SATA interface, there is no capacity limit you can buy each HARD drive with SATA interface, what you want.
  The new HARD disk must have SATA and 2.5.
