• Satellite A100 - Questions about slow start, not in the DMA mode CD drivers

  Hi all

  as you can see I have 3 questions:

  1. my Satellite A100-153 starts very slowly (current running avira antivir and sunbelt pfw only like on my other laptop which is older than this one, but not slow start)-anyone has any idea why (I would be very gratefull because I don't have reinstall win and all my stuff)?

  2 Nero tells me that my CD is not running in DMA mode - where can I check and fix this?

  3. drivers - am I forced the drivers supported on this site or can I use the drivers directly from the manufacturer (ATI for my graphics card, Intel for my chipset realtek for my sound and so on)?

  Help is welcome!

  Hello

  For me, it will be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Anyway, I'll try to give my short opinion on your questions:

  -many other factors may be responsible for slow start. It is usually the OS configuration. I'll try to find an interesting article, how to make faster starting and I will post it here for you.

  --entrer enter in the device IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers Manager, enter the properties for secondary IDE chanel and open the Advanced Settings tab. Is under transfer mode DMA if available? If this isn't the case, set it to please and after reboot check if the problem persists. DMA if available is usually defined as a default value.

  -In general, you can use it but it is well known that manufacturers of graphics card don't support mobile graphics cards and laptop manufacturers are responsible for.

  I recommend you to use the Toshiba drivers only. All of these drivers are put to the test.

  Good bye

• Satellite A100 - questions about the keys to the left hand and added value package

  Hello:

  The work of doesn´t special keys on left hand. I mean, the keys under the power on button which usually starts the web browser and works with the DVD.

  Another question. The value-added package that was installed on my laptop has got a call from the Toshiba Fash utility maps. When I upgraded to the latest version (previosly I had to uninstall it) this SW is not installed. How can I get it back?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Value added contains several applications:
  -Toshiba components pilot common
  -Toshiba Utilities
  -Toshiba PC Diagnostic tool
  -Toshiba Power Saver
  -Toshiba Button support
  -Toshiba zooming utility
  -Toshiba Flash cards

  So as you can see, the button support is included in this package. I don't know what the problem is on your laptop, but when the VAP is installed correctly the multimedia buttons and Flash cards should work correctly.

  Try again please remove VAP system, restart the computer and install the latest version available. This latest version works well on the different laptop models (on my Satellite P200D too) and it should work on your too.

• Re: Satellite C870 - Questions about Toshiba software pre-installed

  Hello..

  Instant Messaging user a new SATELLITE C870-1JV
  Or seen a review on an American site saying that all software pre-installed Toshiba slowing down the operating system.
  The site has recommended that a windows clean install to remove all...

  Everyone does this, or would you recommend?

  Anyone like the software installed and recommend keep it?

  Thank you!!

  > Someone has he done this, or would you recommend?
  You always want to use the advanced features like function keys laptop?
  If so, don t remove the feature key Toshiba software that controls the keys.

  You always want to be informed of updates to the driver through Toshiba Tempro or Toshiba Service Station?
  Then don t delete these software

  But as far as I know there are also other additional software installed on the laptop.
  For example: TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Eco Utility, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor, etc.
  All of these tools provide additional functionality, it s your decision whether or not you want to use.

• Satellite A100 - question about recovery disk

  When I bought my Toshiba laptop, I received a product with her recovery disk.
  At first, I thought it was the recovery of the whole Windows XP (OS which was preinstalled) but on the back cover of the case, he said only "Windows Office One Note"

  So this product for a recovery notes only?

  Yes, it looks like a recovery disk from Toshiba which would format the whole HARD drive and reinstall the operating system preinstalled together.

• Satellite A100: Questions regarding the WiFi printer & router

  My Satellite A100 says he has:

  Compliance: Wi - Fi
  Network support: 802. 11 b / g built-in
  Wireless technology: Wireless LAN

  I would like to know:

  (1) I guess that means that if I have a wireless laptop router connects through a kind of indoor antenna - but I don't know if I have to "turn on" or if it is automatic?

  (2) I have a wifi printer. Can I print directly from the laptop to the printer or what I need to work through a router?

  Any help will be appreciated.

• Satellite A300 - 1 5 - Questions about Toshiba Utilities

  Hi all...

  I have this laptop (link): [Satallite A300 - 1 G 5 | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 1055589]
  I have a few questions reclassification utilities exist:

  1. the webcam utility, is there a way to disable the sidebar and comes to live with his system tray?

  2 bar Notification Toshiba, can I get rid of this? It shows no notification, but the icon still there, I don't know why and its bothers me.

  3. What does the TRORDCLauncher of TRDCReminder &? that means these installed the software (on the Add/Remove Windows)?

  4. I do not use DVD player, DiscCreator and Ulead from Toshiba, I have better alternatives, that I can uninstall them and pressed at the time where I need? How?

  OK, hope that questions me are clear... have a GOOD little question here...

  * Is there a software that can read the sensors of the laptop and show them to me? as the temperature of the CPU, GPU Temprature, Fan rpm, temperature HARD drive... a Toshiba software itself and can really do the job? 3 third-party software helps not to much in the case of the laptop apparently... *.

  * one more thing, when the update of Windows Vista SP2 32 bit, recommending a new driver for my wireless NIC and the touchpad... I can download them or it's a bad idea from the windows that find these updates? *

  can't wait to hear the u...

  Hello

  I'll try to provide answers. If all goes well it will help you. ;)

  1 No. as far as I know that's not possible, but if you don't need this application just go to exit and stop it running in the background. You can start it again whenever you want.
  2. you can turn off this notification in RUN > MSCONFIG > Startup tab. I don't know how is the right name, but you'll find it here. Just remove the check mark in front of it and it will never start.
  3. new notebook models are supplied without recovery DVD and you must go alone. Toshiba has created little reminder and this reminder should say that you please do not forget to create the recovery DVD. So please do use "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator. This support of installations, you can use for the installation of Vista more far. I recommend you to use only DVD-R media. TRORDCLauncher's Recovery Disc Creator Launcher. When the recovery DVD is created, you can delete the system applications.
  4. Yes you can remove the system. How? Control Panel > programs and features > there is the list of all software pre-installed. Click the application that you want to remove and click on the option uninstall.

  You can download some third party applications such as the speed of the fan. Please note that cetter part applications are not tested and all the news you see here doesn't have to be 100% good.

  Please do not download driver updates using Microsoft Update option.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro A100: Question about vertical resolution

  Hello
  I just bought a Satellite Pro A100 a few weeks ago. I'm pretty happy with it, with the exception of the vertical resolution. I'm used to the small fonts and large resolutions. Well, it seems that the A100 is not capable of displaying more than 800 pixels vertically. Is this true?

  How can I run a vertical resolution greater than 800 pixels visible?

  Best regards
  George

  Hi George,.

  I think the A100 supports a maximum resolution of 1280 X 800 on its internal screen but can support a resolution of 2048 X 1536 on an external monitor attached.

  I don't think that you will be able to achieve a vertical resolution higher than 800 on the internal display.

  Kind regards

• Satellite Pro A100: Question about RAM upgrade and warranty

  I just bought my machine and Ive decided to install some more ram. No one knows if it will affect my Gurentee. I can't find anything on the Web site on this topic. Should I get a Toshiba to install official repairman or something?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Please check you user manual. Usually, the slot memory must be placed at the bottom of the unit. If you remove the cover, you should see the slots.
  Usually memory upgrade procedure is described in the user manual so you can upgrade the memory yourself and the procedure of upgrading doesn t affect your warranty.
  But please make sure you use the right modules.
  However, you can also contact Toshiba for the upgrade of memory.

• Satellite R830: Question about power for battery usage options

  Hello world

  I recently bought a R830-182 (detailed configuration below).
  I had to update Windows 7 Home Premium Ultimate because I need to use it on my university network.

  My University gives us an upgrade to windows 7 ultimate edition, but I had to do a clean install (from inside Windows 7 Home Edition, copy the upgrade you can do).
  The key, with what they gave me would not work with the Windows anytime upgrade utility.

  I think that I have installed everything that I need to get the laptop to work, but I'm not sure of the configuration of the battery. The cooling fan seems to be always on, and when the battery reaches 100% charge that he also said that he is in charge.

  My questions are:
  1. is there another program I have to install to allow the computer manage settings of the battery?
  2. do I need to change some settings in the power options?
  3 should. what settings I change in power options?

  Any help would be welcome
  Kind regards

• Satellite 4090xcdt / question about CPU upgading & batteries

  Hello

  I just joined the forum. Looks really good.

  I inherited a satellite 4090xcdt (PAS409EYX-ENX). He had 4 gig ' ish HDD, Celeron CPU (300 or 400 MHZ?), 64 MB of RAM and win 98.

  me and my boyfriend has replaced the HARD drive with 80 GB model (the original was on his last breath), upgrade of RAM as it could by adding a key to 256 MB to the current 64 MB.

  It helps a lot and allows us to run Win XP Home and now added a wireless card.

  2 questions.

  I can get a Celron M 700 MHz processor - I can it whack in the 4090xcdt?

  Is there a good source cheapish of spare batteries - as the mounted one, last about 5 minutes when it is turned off!

  Thnaks for the search - any help appreciated.

  Hello

  OK, I studied a little and it seems that this laptop has an Intel Celeron 400 MhZ CPU.
  To my knowledge it s not advisable to replace the CPU s on the laptop. Some CPU is soldered on the Board.
  Of course, I read some reviews on the replacement of the CPU, and some people were able to replace or upgrade. BUT laptop computers did not work properly. Sometimes, don t cooling modules work or BIOS have had problems with the APCI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface).
  In my opinion you shouldn't do it! Perhaps you may also damage the motherboard.

  Well, you should also always use the Toshiba battery recommended. A bad battery can damage the laptop. As far as I know the battery on this laptop should have these properties:
  Lithium Li-ion 10,8 V, 3, 600 mAh, reference number: PA2487U

  You should be able to buy these batteries in every store of the laptop. Of course, you can also contact the Toshiba ASP in your country. Here, you can order the original.

• Satellite A30 - question about the CPU temperature

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A30 (model name: SA30-151, model number: PSA33E). I had the usual problems with overheating and closing, where I had to clean the radiator.

  My question is, how hot the CPU must sit at and what temperature is dangerous?

  I installed 'Hardware sensors Monitor' and the average temperature is about 55 c, but I saw it happen at 70 c when I'm pushing it.

  I was not able to find something on the net about it and I can't find information on the Toshiba site.

  Any help or advice would be appreciated, thanks...

  The same temperature is on my Tecra M1. Believe me, there's really no reason to panic.

• Satellite M30: Questions about the battery, SD, energy-saving card reader

  1. After looking through the forums, it seems that my problem is not uncommon: my Toshiba Satellite M30 seems to have a life of the battery for about 10 minutes. Power not connected to the adapter, Windows detects 100%... 99%... Then 3%. Throughout the life of the battery is about 10 minutes, and I don't know why. Does anyone know? (Info from BG: laptop about 2 years, not too used)

  2. How will I know exactly WHAT model of Toshiba Satellite M30 I? (There is a code after the M30-part - I need this to find out what batteries I need to buy to replace)

  3. What is the nearest Service Center, I can talk to the United Kingdom with regard to my battery problem? From Toshiba Web site lists 20 companies different with Toshiba in them to the United Kingdom, and I have no idea which we touch!

  4. my SD card reader is a bit faulty. To put a SD card, no message appears to recognize the card - the laptop just doesn't recognize at all, and I do not see "SD card" or equivalent in "My Computer". However, if I put an SD card, and then restart the computer, I can see the SD card, it simply does not update while the computer is on, when I restart - cures for this?

  5. Finally, can I download the software of management of TOSHIBA POWER SAVER? I downloaded from this site but right now the only option when I open the TOSHIBA CONSOLE is 'Mouse' - there is no standby power options or network options or anything.

  Thanks in advance, sorry there are so many questions and they are so different!

  Cheerio,
  John

  Hello

  1) looks like a dead battery. It s not unusual that the battery will discharge performance after about 2 years. As far as I remember, you can load and unload the battery for about 500 times. After this period, the lifetime battery decreases faster. The same symptom occurs for example with a cell phone battery. I think you should ask the new battery Toshiba service partner. PS: The guarantee covers the battery for about a year.

  (2) it's very easy at the bottom of the unit, you will find a label with the serial number and the name of detailed specifications.

  (3) visit this site:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true
  You will find the database with ASP together all over the world. These guys are responsible for replacements, repairs, etc.

  (4) number of SD card is very strange. On my Satellite SD card window opens if I insert the SD card. You can try to remove the SD card from the Device Manager reader and after that new reboot, the OS should has new charge card CD driver. Eventually, it helps.

  (5) I don't know what you mean exactly but on the Toshiba driver page, you will find the tool power Toshiba compatible and taken in charge. If you have downloaded from the area Sat M30 driver so I think you can use it only on this laptop.

  take easy B-)

• Satellite L40 - question about the CPU temperature

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L40 17 Q with Intel Celeron M CPU.

  The usual device temperature is about 60 degrees Celsius. I read that the Tj to this type of processors is 100 degrees Celsius.

  So my question is dedicated to the owners of laptops equipped with Intel Celeron M processors and of course for the hardware gurus.
  Is the operative temperature of 60 degrees Celsius of normal, and if not how do I decrease.
  My laptop is new and I make sure that the air flow openings are not jammed.

  Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  Don't worry, the CPU temperature. 60 degrees Celsius is certainly within the normal range, and there is no reason to worry about this. On my laptop Tecra, I noticed the temperature CPU about 62 degrees Celsius and drive HARD around 40 degrees Celsius.

• Satellite C650 - Question about cooling fan

  I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite C650 with processor i3 Intel and Windows 7 Home. When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air (there only the circle mark on the case under the cooling fan). Pls confirm me it is a manufacturing defect or not.

  I also ran a cpu + the base temperature software and find core temp goes up to 72 ° C in one step and I feel very hot blowing through the radiator.

  Hey Buddy,

  > When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air
  Who is normal and it s according to the laptop and the material. Different laptops have different cooling systems. This would mean that there are some laptops with no holes directly under the fan air intake. For fresh air holes are placed elsewhere to generate some air flow. If the other pieces of equipment can be cooled as well.

  There are already some threads here in the forum and as you can see it's really normal:

  How did you check the temperature?
  Always it is if everything works well don t care about the temperature. In this case, that the laptop could overheat, it would off himself to protect the equipment. ;)
