  If you have the Toshiba recovery disc in the past, you can use it as part of the new HARD drive. The Toshiba Recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings, which means that you have installed Windows system, Toshiba drivers and additional software.

  Go to the page of the Toshiba UE driver and download the driver for the Synaptics touchpad. Install the touchpad driver and reboot the laptop. Usually, this should solve your problem.

  It's strange. Usually the BT should work if the BT stack has been installed correctly. Please note that you must activate the BT using the fn (FN + F8). This combination turns on and the WiFi also. So make sure you did it correctly.

  > 4. Whenever I turn on the laptop the Security Center is turned off and I have to turn it on or automatic updates are disabled and I have to turn them on.

• Satellite A100-147: problem of Bluetooth with BT dongle for mobile devices

  Hi guys, take it easy because this is my 1st post.

  I see there are some problems with BT and yes I am here with problems too!
  I recently had to reinstall XP PRO due to a virus, I ve installed all my drivers and even tried the recommended download links but nothing.
  When I load a BT2stack (tried different install x 64 etc.) installation driver, it came with small BT symbol in the taskbar, but when I clicked to toggle the box was just 'grey' and cannot be enabled.

  I noticed the code BW on the underside of my lappy is slightly different, but the a, just do not know if it s compatible with its location in the code.

  Code ends with 15WBT/DS2/LM/W... This seems ok or am I Bluetooth less!

  Whatever it is, the strange thing is I ve it works ok in the past by a BT toggle was having taken in the usb port, no probs in the past using this with my cell phone, but on the purchase of a new (old we had stood on) one mini disc 'pilot', it came with comes up with "E:\ is not accessible" and my disc drive is ok! weird but my 1st rocking didn't come with a disk and the other the box "found the new device" came it was straight forward.

  Axious even now I need this facility to work.

  Please, if anyone has a simple step-by-step tutorial for me to follow then that would be great. I m obviously missing something, but all leads come to a dying.

  see you soon... pete!

  PS. do not operate my FN + F8 but F1 etc seem to just put me on another page on this site?

  I confirm the information published by Blue2S.
  Satellite A100-147 was NOT equipped with the Bluetooth module!

  So you can not activate because there is NO BT!

• Satellite C660 - touchpad problems

  Hello

  I have problems with the touchpad on my Satellite C660. I have only had it for about 2 & 1/2 months, and the problem seems to be worse.

  I tried to check for drivers, changing the settings of the touchpad, but nothing helped.
  The main problem is that when you move your finger on the pad, the cursor will not move, however it also scrolls the page more or less important size.

  I'm quite frustrated because it is essentially a new machine.

  Everyone has ideas, or should I try to get replaced by a new one.

  Thank you

  James

  Looks like you're triggering gestures. For example, if you press the right side of the touchpad, it will allow the scroll bar.

  You can disable these features in the advanced Touchpad settings.

• Satellite 3000 touchpad problem

  I have a Toshiba satellite 3000 PS300c and the touchpad doesn't seems to work but the pointer in the middle of the keyboard is always moving the mouse and when I tap on it, but the piece on the bottom isn't so I can right click or use the scroll wheel.

  Hello

  I don't know since when you have this problem, but it will be interesting to know if the appliance has been dismantled, but if the unit is not building together on the right track, it is possible that the touchpad will not work properly.

  Good bye

• Satellite C650 - Touchpad problem

  Toshiba Satellite C650 - 13G PSC08E I found that the touchpad, wasn't work and left click did not work, tried all the fixes on the forum.

  Check the BIOS and update
  Function key, fine activated

  That all controlled parameters appear in order, so I assumed a defective left click button.
  I bought the new palmrest with touchpad and after exactly the same problem.

  I can get it to work as a left-handed mouse, right button works as the left should, all other functions are fine except not left click.

  Surely, I couldn't be pretty unlucky to have bought a palmrest with broken so left click button (it's new)

  Any help would be appreciated

  What I will say maybe you were simply no chance and you had installed another faulty touchpad module, but to be honest, it will be very strange

  In my case, the control panel? mouse? last tab (Setup button) contain additional options to control the touchpad features.

  My laptop uses the touchpad Alps and the Alps touchpad utility is installed.
  This tool provides additional parameters for touchpad left and right, click.
  I did not change these options, but of course it of possible to disable the left and right click in this area.

• Satellite A100-773: problem with the installation of WinXP Pro

  Hello

  I try to install Windows XP Prof on my new laptop A100-773 (Media WinXP Center preinstalled Edition). After that I put in the installation disk, restart the computer and then selected CD in the boot menu, it said something like "verification of hardware configuration". After that black screen and nothing more happens.

  Also, I tried to start Linux (Knoppix) CD. Same problem, at some stage, the system stops and doesn't do anything.

  Anyone has any idea how this problem could be solved?

  Thanks a lot for your answers in advance.

  Kind regards

  Chris

  Hello

  Have you tried to boot form CD recovery Toshiba or on the original CD of Microsoft?
  The recovery installation CD should generally work without any problem.
  In addition, if you want to retrieve the unit with the Toshiba Recovery CD you will get 2 modes. Standard and expert mode.

  I guess the message because there might be something wrong with the hardware or any device. I would recommend to enter the BIOS and check the settings. You can also try the options default and safe change.

  But first try to boot from the recovery CD.

• Satellite A100-095: problem of graphics - Vista OS but says driver is not

I use my pc for developing .net applications, today after a few hours, I put the laptop in standbymode, when I reboot the system, vista windows told me that video drivers caused problems and had returned to the original version.

  "Your system is not windows vista, this version of the driver is made to work only with Grand vista, etc etc etc."

  I try for a copula of time, the same error, I restart the system and now install the driver very well, but my system is unstable, sometimes after only a few hours of work when I right click on the folder, I do not copy / paste option and shortly after the explorer.exe chrashes. I ve operationg Italian system because I bought my laptop in Italy.

  Any idea on what is happening?

• Satellite A100-220: Problem with RAM

  Hello
  I recently bought new RAM (Kingston 1 GB PC2 5300). Before, I had same Kingston memory more initially 256 MB. When I installed the new RAM, replacing the old, the machine does not run. It stops after 3 seconds. Is there a solution to have 2 GB of RAM? I also noticed, this computer does not work when the only Kingston RAM is installed...

  Greetings,
  Michal

  Hello

  thought the newly purchased RAM might be defective? If I were you I would do the following: return the RAM where you´ve bought and take another. Check the RAM in both slots and give a few short comments what happened...

  See you soon

• Satellite A100 - problem with the operation of the battery

  Hello!

  My laptop (I bought 1.5 years ago) has a big problem when you use with the battery.
  First of all, with a fully charged battery, the notification of "limited battery status" appears after 2 minutes of operation and after 5 minutes, he goes to the standby mode due to the level of the battery is very low.

  Then, I plug it into the AC power and the battery remains yellow for about 15 minutes light and then turns blue.
  (The battery is OK, I tested it on another satellite A100)

  What can be the problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  Maria

  Given that you have tested the battery in another satellite A100, the problem must be in the settings of your computer:

  1 > START > CONTROL PANEL > POWER SELECT THE OPTIONS ICON

  2 > you will now see a screen that shows your management food and note * one * has a tick that is a small point in a circle:

  3 > BALANCED > POWER SAVER > HIGH PERFORMANCE

  7 > YOU SHOULD HAVE: you will need to have play with these settings, or you can click on restore plan defaults to see if that will solve your problem

• Satellite A100-545: noise intermittently slowing down the

  Satellite A100-545 when read no matter what audio work for example DVD CD or say Skype, MSM etc. sound intermittently slowing down for a few seconds then returns to normal, I downloaded the latest audio drivers.

  Hello

  Eventually it s only a matter of wrong setting.
  Toshiba virtual audio utility should be preinstalled on this laptop.
  Here, you can change some parameters such as the configuration of low frequency or high frequency sounds configuration

  I have sought similar questions in this forum and on the Satellite A100, sound problems has been resolved by updating the BIOS, then the audio driver.
  I don't know if this will help, but if the new version is available, you can try to update the BIOS of Mr. but do not forget to use the good BIOS because evil can damage the motherboard.

• Satellite A100 boot cannot

  Good day to all,

  I have a TOSHIBA SATELLITE A100, the problem is when I turned on the device, the HARD drive cover blinks and then a few seconds, it going off. And then it end here only the battery and covers ac indicators are on. Can someone here help me please...

  Thank you

  Hmm. It s definitely a hardware problem.

  What part does not work properly? Well, I'm 90% sure that there is something wrong with the motherboard probably the graphics chip. But to be 100% sure, you should plug the external monitor to the laptop to make sure this isn't a default internal display.

  In any case, I think that it of clear that it is a hardware problem and in this case only the laptop technician can help.

  I put t know if you warranty is valid but you must contact the ASP in your country and should ask the later handling.

  I wish you good luck

  Good bye

• Satellite A100-201 touchpad problems

  I searched through the forums and many people have had problems with the touchpad, but nobody seems to have quite the same problem, as I have! If this has been asked to answer also my apologies, but I can't!

  I have a Satellite A100-201 with a 'Tablet' (as described by the technique of the Toshiba product - no mention if it comes to Synaptics or Alps, or anything else, is not that it would mean anything for me anyway. It is certainly NOT a dual pad that turns on with the blue buttons, etc.)

  Have had the laptop for over a year, and I got it all the time I have a problem where 'sometimes' function on the touchpad scroll bar doesn't work, all on his own. Sometimes I turn on the computer and it works fine, sometimes not. The same goes for the service where you tap the top right of the button and the narrowings of the active window (don't know what this is called). There seems to be no reason for this, I find the scrolling feature really useful. The rest of the touchpad functions works very well.

  I don't know if it's to do with drivers as I am not computer-oriented (I can use one for day to day stuff, but that's all) or upgrades of windows as no one else mentioned on another thread.

  If anyone has any idea how I can:

  (a) turn back ON the scrolling feature and

  (b) set it so it is permanently under voltage I would be really grateful!

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  do you have challenged yourself with synaptics/Alps touchpad Control Center / (whateveryourtouchpadsmanufactureris) and checked the settings?

  As far as I know are these touchpads really complicated when you use them, but * more * usable after setting the key to touch about the sensitivity options, etc...
  You can configure almost the entire touchpad area to adapt to your needs...

  Please, check the settings and make sure that your keyboard is configured correctly.
