Satellite 1905-S301: laptop model name Virus has changed?

I think that my Satellite 1905-S301 has been exposed to a virus. This is the worst I've ever seen: he has removed my firewall (Zonealarm), antivirus (AVG free) and Spybot. disabled Center Windows XP security, firewall and automatic update; I am unable to go to safemode (blue screen on startup); and I can not yet use the recovery CD because it has changed my machine to a 1900-801. This virus seems like it has intelligence.

Anyone know how I can force the recovery CD to restore my system?

What about first formatting the entire HARD disk, then use the Toshiba Recovery CD.
This should help.
I don t think that the virus has changed something in the DMI and changed the model number of the laptop.

  • Satellite 1905-S301: internal WiFi card does not

    I have a Satellite 1905-S301 laptop. I just bought a new Intel Pro/Wireless Mini PCI WiFi card because I discovered that my laptop is WiFi active (I have had it for two years and did not know this).
    I installed the card, attached to the antenna to it and installed the software. The computer recognises the card, but he won't find not all networks that are out there and it gives me the error that I need to turn on the hardware for the WiFi switch, even when it is turned on.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    On the right side of the laptop, you should find a WLan hardware switch.
    It must be on the use of the Wlan card.
    Also, try to use the FN + F8 key combination to activate the Wlan antenna.

  • How can I activate the WiFi mini-PCI satellite 1905-S301 card?

    Greetz! I have installed a network card wireless mini-PCI in option in my Toshiba Satellite 1905-s301 specifications and turned on the power switch. MS Windows XP Home SP2 Pro edition recognized hardware and install its drivers - there is no cross or question mark next to the Atheros AR5001X + Wireless Network Adapter in Device Manager. However the connection of wireless network manager tells me that there is no current wireless network card. When pressing Fn + F8 a window appears saying that there is no build-in wireless LAN.

    What should I do to activate my mini-PCI Wireless LAN card? If possible, send your suggestions to my email, please!

    Hello

    You must activate the WLan switch on the side of the laptop!
    Additional select the WLAN card properties and check under the Advanced tab.
    There should be an option called turn on/off the Radio. You will need to fix on.

  • Need the latest news of the wireless card and more on my Satellite 1905-S301

    First post here. Need help.

    Toshiba has no info in their manual or anywhere on their site I could find about it.

    The manual mentions that the stock for my Toshiba Orinoco Gold 1905-S301 wireless card (8484415560) wireless adapter.

    Thing, is that the map is years old, and I want to know what the last card that will work with my 1905-s301. I saw many posts around the net
    people with problems with mini-pci in Toshiba laptops different cards, where the power light and wireless do not work, and many positions
    on workaround with pin 13 on the map so that the thing stays on permanently.

    So what I want to know is: what is the latest version of the wireless standard that works with my 1905-S301 (802. 11 g, 802.11n, whatever), what brand of card
    I can't (model number would be useful) that works, and it should be a map where I don't have to do no work around... where the on/off switch works the way it's supposed to and seeing Wi - Fi will also do.

    Now... Apart from the above, it would be preferable to use a Type II CardBus PC card for the slot on the side of my laptop. Again, I am ignorance about these cards, but I don't know that you can get wireless cards that can be used. It would be preferable to an internal card? I know that they went to the PC Card Express format a few years before, so I can't assume CardBus cards cannot be purchased new.

    Basically, I just want the ability to the most recent and WiFi for my laptop. I am to go to Seattle in May and want to have my computer laptop maxed out as far as it's capacity so I can entertain me

    A few other questions:
    Is my Wired CPU? Can I spend it? And same for my graphics card. 16 MB graphic memory is not good, and I would like to know if I can pass that somehow.

    Thanks in advance. Any info on my questions above would be much appreciated.

    Hello!

    I agree with Garrett, contact the ASP in your country for information. They know what are the cards will fit in on Satellite 1905 and work.

    On WiFi standards, I can say that the newer 802.11n standard will not work in this good old classic because that's why you need 3 antenna cables.

    The CPU can be improved, but this will be maybe not supported from the BIOS. On the site of Toshiba is a document available thereon:
    http://195.182.196.33/KB0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm

    Finally and above all the video RAM depends on the RAM memory and is turned on automatically. I don't know but if you have more RAM you will also get more video RAM but this ask your ASP too m.

    Good bye

  • Satellite 1905 - problem with the touchpad after awakening from Hibernation/standby

    Greetings.

    I've known a few interesting problems with my Satellite 1905 - S301.
    Whenever he wakes up from hibernation/standby my touchpad stopped accepting "taps" as a click on the left button of the mouse. It works normally with finger motion detection, but stops at all but it is quite annoying to restart the machine whenever he returns from hibernation mode.

    I've done a small workaround and after I close the laptop lid still works but this isn't the way it should work, I would have preferred that she either Hibernate than running for 10 hours without any sense;).

    Can someone give me the solution to this problem, please?
    Thank you in advance.

    Kind regards
    Akar

    Hello

    I agree with you. It s very boring to restart the machine each time to use the touchpad.
    This problem appears on the first day?

    I think there might be a software problem and, possibly, the new installation of operating system recovery CD Toshiba could help.
    I know, the complete installation is not the best solution, but it might help.

    You should also check you the touchpad. Satellite 1905 - S301 was designed for the U.S. market and so I checked the American website for available drivers.
    It seems that 5.3.203.2 is a newer version of the Alps touchpad driver for Windows XP.

    I suggest to reinstall the touchpad driver and check if there is no improvement.

  • Satellite 1905-S303: plastic parts

    I'm putting the hand on the plastic trim piece that conceals the LCD connector. He goes to the base between the hinges above the keyboard. This part was missing, when I got the laptop, I would consider even a broken that I might be able to fix it if that's all that's available. Surely Toshiba must make spare parts available for the latter.

    HI Shaun,

    The following url is for a US company parts: _

    You may have more luck contacting a Service Agent local Toshiba which should be able to get the part you need.

  • Need a specification complete for laptop model Satellite

    Hello to one and all. I am experienced with the use of the forums, but this is the first time the Forum of Toshiba. So apologies if I write in the wrong section.

    In fact, my daughter who has autism, got a DSA grant to help him to go to University. They say she may have a laptop computer and the provider gave me the following details of what they provide, which is...

    WKH15 PC Toshiba laptop with Core i3 (3217U) 4GB 320 GB DVDRW WIFI Webcam Windows Bridge Ivy 8 (integrated Intel HD Graphics 4000)

    I want to see the complete specification and any review of the toshiba laptop above, before I accept it. I can pay extra to have a better, if I think it is necessary.

    The problem is, I can't find anything on this model and am wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction, or maybe even have one and can give me relevant information.

    Thanks much for any help.

    To be honest I don't understand your provider. Each manufacturer offers different portable model with different model name or model number so that customers can find presentation on the manufacturers web page.

    Different models have same hardware platform, so I don't know how to help you with your question. Ask her to model exact name or model number, so we can find the exact specification for laptop on the toshiba support page.

  • Instructions for AMPERAGE satellite 1905-S303 CPU fan

    Hi guys,.

    First of all thank you for your help in advance.

    My fan is this similar to a buzzing noise, but not very much. Almost as if something interferes here or something is loose.
    It can also feel vibrations final on my wrists resulting from the present.

    The computer itself works well no problems. And fan of stitching to do this work, however since his on and outside the usual tricks.
    I get the feeling, it must be emphasized in working well.

    It was that don't happen at the initial start upward and the problem would go sounds fan away quickly to normal.
    Now this noise/vibrations come all the time every time that the fan starts.

    More fan calls, more noise/vibration.

    In any case I tried to blow out with compressed air to clean it. But nothing has changed.
    That's why I want to open it up, take it out, maybe clean it or see if something is loose. Or maybe replace it.

    That's why I'm looking * instructions on how to replace the fan on my Satellite 1905-S303 CPU *.
    Does anyone know all the instructions I can follow? I couldn't find anything on the Toshiba support site.

    (Or instructions for a computer similar to mine at least?) (Or something that might help?)

    Thanks a lot guys! I really appreciate you!

    > My fan is this similar to a buzzing noise, but not very much. Almost as if something interferes here or something is loose. It can also feel vibrations final on my wrists resulting from the present. The computer itself works well no problems. And fan of stitching to do this work, however since his on and outside the usual tricks.

    In this case, I would not recommend to disassemble the laptop just to check if the fan is ok or not
    I mean disassembly of the laptop is really a delicate procedure and there is a risk of damage to the part.

    However, the disassembly instructions are not downloadable on the Toshiba page. I didn t find anything and I think that these manuals are released for service only partners.
    But I think you might find a few details and info on the internet. Use google and search for irisvista.com/tech/

    Good luck

  • Satellite 1905-S303 - fan turns on every 2 minutes

    Hey guys, thanks for your help in advance.

    I just noticed that my laptop fan lights quite often.

    I have a Satellite 1905-S303.

    How many times you ask? -The fan runs about every 2 minutes, and then it stays on for about 1 minute. (So the cycle takes about 3 minutes). Things continue to go all the time, even if the computer does nothing.

    Other than that, the seams fine computer. The computer does NOT turn off overheating.

    Is this normal?

    I just noticed this and can't remember if it has always done this. (Although I don't think)

    PS - I tried dusting the gills of the computer with compressed air, but nothing has changed.

    Other than that, the seams of the computer to function very well.

    Thank you guys!

    > I just noticed that my laptop fan lights quite often.
    I don t think it would be a bad thing
    The point is that the fan lead on if a certain level of temperature has been reached.
    This is nothing unusual.

    I have the same problem, but I can control my Toshiba Power Saver cooling modules so I can set the parameters of battery optimized in order to reduce the speed of the fan.

    Maybe you could do that too.

  • Re: Laptop model not found

    [This | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=102277#102277] is what happened to me.

    So, I contacted the ASP in the Netherlands and the people he said that they could not fill my request because my Toshiba Satellite A100 model has not been done here. They suggested I contact the ASP in Indonesia.

    I contacted the ASP in Indonesia only to hear the same answer.

    I looked for the model on the official site, but I can't find the model.

    If I'm screwed? :(

    Oh, for the information, my laptop is Toshiba Satellite A100 with model PSAA8H 06500 M.

    Hello

    It's a pretty bad situation. ASP in Nederland is right. They can order materials of recovery for the own country only.
    Recovery media are product specific (different hardware configuration) and you may not use any recovery media for portable model A100. Thus, it is important to control the media in the country of purchase. The funny thing is that Googling autour, I cannot find any info on your model of laptop.

    I recommend you use the CD of Microsoft facilities for the installation of Windows XP Home edition. If the hardware configuration is known to you, I hope you will be able to find the drivers for your laptop model. Maybe you can use the drivers from http://pc.toshiba-asia.com/support/downloads/index.jsp

    Sorry, but buddy is a rather complicated question.

  • install recovery which is not available in Egypt on the laptop model purchased of the U.S..

    My sister bought for me computer mobile in the United States because she live there. She bought model no:
    Pavilion dm4-3050 us Entertainment PC

    At the beginning, I ask for help from computer technician to create partitions of windows 7 then it formats the hard drive. This is the beginning of the problem. After several months of that Windows 7 has become very slow and unresponsive, so I ask for help from the same person. He removed the windows 7 and tried to install another, but all his attempts failed. Since that time, my laptop did not work.
    I used the HP Web site to know the cause of this problem. I knew that there is a Recovery Manager and I should update or reinstall this cover, but I don't know than before. I reached hardly to HP technical support in the Middle East. They guide me in Egypt HP service centers but all these centers very stupid and useful because they said that recovery of this model not available with them because my laptop model not available in the Middle East. When I get back to the technical support HP in the Middle East, they told me to return to the centers of service again as they can contact HP technical support to the United States and get the recovery of this model, but they refused. Accordingly the HP Middle East technical support solve this problem in tips to return me my laptop in the USA.
    My laptop did not work for 4 months, due mainly my error and stupidity and lack of cooperation of HP technical support in the Middle East and Egypt HP service centers.
    Please help me as soon as possible.

    This is NOT official HP customer service and I, like most other people on this forum do not work for HP. It is a forum for users of peer-to-peer supported for class for the HP consumer products. HP maintains no official presence on this forum and it is unlikely that HP will respond in an official capacity. Response of an employee of HP represents his own opinion and not that of HP.

    (1) please contact your sister in the USA and provide the complete model name / product number and the serial number of your computer.

    (2) then have its order support from HP recovery for your HP computer to the DVD - SP1 de Windows 7 64 b + Supp 2 Recovery Kit or have contact official HP customer support in the U.S. via the Portal to support worldwide of HP, to order HP recovery media.
