• Can not remove the virus. Help, please! Satellite 1800-712

  Hello!

  I am running XP Home edition on a satellite 1800-712.

  The computer behaves very suspiciously, closing (disc according to the error messages or bad driver) and weird popups appear from nowhere (your computer is damaged - visit such or such website and we'll fix it for you) without me even a browser.

  I reinstalled XP with repeatedly Toshiba recovery disks, but it does not help. The virus or anything like that is always there. What should I do? Everything is saved. I just want to do a thorough cleaning of the hard drive, but the recovery discs don't seem to be able to.

  Thanks a bunch!

  Hello

  If the reinstallation of the system with the recovery CD does not help, the problem must be somewhere else, but not on the software on the hard drive. Maybe the hard drive itself has a problem, and the software cannot be read properly. Sorry, but at the moment I have no idea better.

  Good bye

• Unable to connect to the Internet with my Satellite 1800 712

  Hello

  had to reinstall Windows XP Home on my Satellite 1800-712, unfortunately do not have the recovery disc otherwise it would all be ok.

  Now, I can't get on internet, I downloaded new drivers for LAN, they installed ok, LAN is set to autodetect, USB wireless dongle drivers installed everything is ok.

  In my tray icon (bottom right) shows the networks but with red cross... I get a message saying that wireless networks are within range, click here to see the networks... when I click, Sun protection comes up saying no. networks in range... aarrrgggh.
  What can I do, please?

  Hello

  First you need to check if the wireless network adapter appears in Device Manager (expand network controllers).
  If the local network adapter is listed and there is no yellow exclamation point, this means that the wireless network adapter has been installed correctly.
  Now you have to activate the Wlan switch (somewhere on the side of the laptop) and the FN + F8 key combination.

  Now Wlan is enabled and you should be able to set it up.
  You can use a 3rd Wlan tool part for configuration or specific parameters of Win XP.

• Failed to create the floppy disk to update the BIOS on the Satellite 1800-712

  I was given a Satellite 1800 712 with buggy BIOS (power went down while flashing) then now when the laptop is on a sign shows
  BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call the repairman)
  and so on...

  I downloaded the latest bios for the laptop, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formatted 1.44 MB floppy, run the *.exe file and a 1.44 MB must be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I am running windows xp nothing happens and if I'm running BACK said "initial mistake.

  In the Archives of the bios is a readme. It says that I need to copy files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA. (EXE) on a 1.44 MB diskette. Well, it is not helped either.

  Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  I found this thread in the forum:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&MessageID=72625

  The case described in the thread above is very similar to your question.
  According to this message that every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in the case of an incomplete process of flashing, the area responsible for in the BIOS flash for the upgrade is never deleted.

  Generally you should contact the service point in your country for this problem, but perhaps the description in the other thread will help you.
  But you know, everything you do is at you own risk

  Hello
  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite 1800 712

  Please check the power management options. You will find the settings for the mode of AC power and battery power. Both of them have an option called turn off the monitor. Remember that this option is set to NEVER under mode of AC power.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not recognize my USB external HARD drive

  Hello

  I would really appreciate the help. I own a satellite 1800-712. I have receently bought a usb external hard drive for some extra memory (IE Toshiba MK4026GAX USB Device)

  When I connect it to my usb port it records any with the computer. The green light so there is power to the hard drive. The usb ports recognized of other fine features (a modem and memory stick)

  I tried the external hard drive on a desktop pc and it works fine.

  I have downloaded all windows xp service pack updates and updated my bios. Don't know what to do now.

  Please help and thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Although sometimes, I know that the OS is not able to recognize the external USB device, because the device external USB (HDD) consumes more energy than the 500mA.
  The USB ports provide 500mA power and if the device needs more power so it s is not possible for the Windows operating system to recognize the external device.
  You have an external power supply for the USB HDD? You should use it.

• Satellite 1800-712: what comb drive can use?

  Can anyone let me know the model number / part of the CDRW/DVD combi
  walk in the 1800-712 of Satellite specifications. Mine has failed, and I need
  to get a new one.

  Hello

  Have you checked you user manual?
  In the manual of the user that was preinstalled on the computer laptop m, I found some compatible players. I think that in the manual you you should also find a list of compatible drives.

  I think that you could use a DVD - ROM SD-C2502 or CD-RW/DVD-ROM Toshiba SD-R2002 / SD-R2102 or CD TEAC CD-224th for training

  But I think you should take a look in this document yourself.

  Did you know that a compatible player you can order the ASP in your country?
  If you order the drive of the service partner you can be 100% that this drive is compatible.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start with the new HARD drive

  Hello world.

  I am currently trying to install a new HARD drive in my notebook of 1800-712.
  I'm having a few trubbles as my Satellite won't start with my new HARD drive.

  I upgraded my BIOS to the latest version.
  The new HARD drive is a 40 GB Samsung.

  Any suggestions on what I need to do to make it all works?

  THX, Philippe

  Hello

  This device was shipped with 20 GB HARD drive.
  You again is 40 GB.
  I guess that the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive because of the size.

• Satellite 1800: Watch the Sun - how to change the contrast

  Hi, satellite 1800 has a dark screen that I can't solve. The images are very visible. The amount of the fine to a screen outside it is a button contrast everywhere?

  Hello

  You can change the brightness of the screen with the FN + F6 and FN + F7 key combination.
  This is not possible, so I guess there must be something wrong with the hardware (FL inverter)
  Usually if this part is the default display is not clear. In this case, you must contact the ASP in your country.

• Upgrade memory on a Satellite 1800 712

  Hello

  I want to upgrade the RAM on my 1800-712.
  In fact, I have a 256 MB PC133 SDRAM.
  It is strange that the bus on this type of machine seems to be 100 Mhz!

  I want to install a Kingston memory in second slot.
  Thus, it is mandatory to install any memory of KTT-SO100/256 (compatible as the Kingston Configurator shows), or I can put the KTT SO133/256?
  That the second is cheaper, I don't want to install it?
  Can you confirm compatibility?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It is recommended to use the module with the same bus speed. No doubt it will work, but in my opinion you shouldn't watch the money just on compatibility and not forget that upgrade parts are not damaged.

• Satellite 1800-712 does not start - DC IN flashes orange

  Hi all.

  My toshiba laptop Satellite s1800-712 has suddenly stopped working. Whenever I try to turn it on, I get the following blink code that repeats on the DC-IN power icon.

  The icon flashes orange in the following diagram. 1 short, 1 long, short 5, 1 x long. Anyone know what this means?

  If it helps, I use a TPA90DC APC travel power adapter PSU (as my original toshiba one broken. The APC unit is located at 15V.

  I think it's a hardware failure, but that's all that can be easily fixed? I opened the laptop a few times to replace the CPU and clean, but I don't think that the fault is negligence on my part because I always open it in an antistatic environment. To be honest, this laptop to cost me too much money in modernization and if this fault is something that requires expensive repairs, I can just sell it for parts.

  Any help is appreciated.

  Hi Mary,

  The blink code is used to locate the real failure so that the repair technicions knowing where to start checking for problems. Unfortunately these codes are published not generally then I suggest that you call a Toshiba authorized repairer and ask their opinion on fault. This way you do not have to engage in costly repairs until you know how much they are likely to cost.

  Kind regards

• Satellite 1800-712: slow after WXP Pro included SP2 installation

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba 1800-712 and I've recently upgraded the memory with another 256 MB.

  Before the upgrade the laptop run very fast because there where loads of unnecessary applications installed. I bought a Windows XP and it installed on the laptop with SP2.

  Since then, the laptop is very slow to access the DVD drive and the HARD drive.

  He ran before that kind of OK with XP Home, but since XP Professional you cannot watch DVD as they stutter and if play you MP3 in Mediaplayer the possibility is also not in sync with the music.

  It seems that there is missing specific IDE drivers or the wrong with those supplied with XP.

  I had a glance on the toshiba site, but the drivers only I can find that there is the display and audio drivers.

  The motherboard seems to be an ALI M5229 Chipset

  I need to restore professional XP and re - install my whole machine with XP Home that comes with it?

  I also tried the DVD player to be upgraded to the latest Firmware but that does no change.

  She is running in UDMA 2 and I tried PIO and I also had a peek into the Bios with IDE Standard or extra but still the same.

  Anyone?

  Hi James,

  In principle your laptop should also work well with XP Pro installed as it did with XP Home. However, I would be inclined to check in the Task Manager to see what processes you really have running and also make sure that your installation of XP Pro is not make the repeated attempts to access a network or network resources.

  Also, I would like to run a disk cleanup and Defragmenter of given that the installation process tends to leave the hard drive in a bit of a mess of the nature of the facility.

  The fact that your DVD stutter when playing suggests that there are other CPU activity going on in the background.

  Kind regards

• Re: Satellite 2430 402: the processor upgrade possible?

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite 2430 402 with P4 2.53 GHz.
  Is it possible to change the processor of a more recent/fast (up to 3.4 GHz)?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Maybe an other old Intel P4 CPU would work, but you will not be able to upgrade and use newer processors.
  Furthermore a stronger CPU would create more heat dissipation and this would lead to a temperature more high which could affect the functionality of the laptop.

  So even if a new CPU would be recognized correctly by the BIOS, it might affect the functionality of the laptop.

• Satellite 1800 - 752S - the screen turns off

  Hello world.
  I have a satellite 1800 - 752S.
  Since an ew months ithas a weird problem: the screen turns off. If I press and release the button the lid on what it is, but after that turns off again quickly. OT goes off sometimes immediately, sometimes after a few minutes, or even hours. Sometimes it provides be when I run out of battery and bothers me on AC, sometimes against. It works fine, after I turn sleep or hibernation several times, and after a reboot, it bothers me. I've updated his BIOS for the lates on this site, which would not help. I guess it's a hardware problem, because it's the same problem under Linux, and I tried to install different versions of drivers and windows (not only the one of the recovery CD). Anyone have the same problem before. Any help will be appreciated.
  Thank you very much
  Roman

  Hello

  I think you're right, it's a hardware problem. But to be sure, try connecting an external monitor. If it works without problem while laptops, screen turns off, then it must be a hardware failure.

  I guess it's a problem with the FL inverter. You have to give your machine a service partner Toshiba for repair.

  Good bye

• Requirements of the processor can be updated

  I'm trying to decide which computer to buy so that I can use creative Cloud, in particular, Premiere Pro.  Looking at the demands, the processor is specified as "Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Phenom II processor with 64-bit support".  Although Intel is beyond the Core2 Duo.  I wonder what is the requirement of CPU actually. I can't believe that's as specific as this, especially since I have not seen new computers out there with these processors.

  Could someone please update the system requirements so that I have to buy the correct software.  I've been pushing this for this reason.

  Thank you!

  -Karin

  You don't have to worry about these minimum requirements. As indicated by the word "minimum", these processors will get the job done, but the faster CPU/GPU/RAM, etc., the better.

  Get the fastest system, that you can afford, you'll be glad you did.
