Satellite A205: Wireless switch does not and found networks

I've read threads August WLAN/LAN switches, I'm not a computer expert.

I havn't downloaded or installed everything that I sent my computer at Best buy when I got the warranty they fixed my HDD I came home tried to turn on my switch and it would not clear!
Tried to connect to a network (essentially stealing my neighbors) and he could not find all the networks to connect... SO MY FAMILY OF TOSHIBA... CAN YOU HELP ME?

Also, I don't read another post indicating when it you press FN + F8 theres no F8 on the flash memory card. Same thing here with me... So, if you can help thanks...

I can't send it back to best buy because my warranty is over... So lets save me the hassle of having killed my computer to take apart and 'examining' the problem BTW, I made the recovery already cd and still nothing.

I'm kind of sick to use dial up...

Thank you

Hello

First of all, you should check if the wireless network adapter is recognized in Device Manager and if WLan driver has been installed correctly.
In the Manager of devices-> network cards, you should see the wireless network card.

If it comes to a case then the wireless network card is installed OK.
If this isn't the case, then you must install a Wlan driver. For this Toshiba page check us because Sam a205 is U.S. laptop series.

After that, you must enable the wireless network adapter. There is a Wlan switch on the side of the laptop (frontside?). Allow it! WLAN LED should be on.
You will need to use FN + F8 to switch to the Wlan.

After that, you need to configure the WLan settings. Must be the good name of WiFi (SSID), the right encryption and the encryption password.

PS: I recommend reading some threads here on the forum too!

Welcome them

  • Tecra S1: Rf Ubuntu wireless switch does not work

    Hi all

    I recently bought an Intel mini-PCI wifi card for my Tecra S1 under Ubuntu. It is detected without any problem, Intel provides even native drivers for Linux. However, the hardware to activate wireless switch does NOT work. According to iwconfig, the radio is off. I use the ipw2200 driver which can detect the hardware and the software rf_kill. I can enable and disable software killing RF, but kill him material stays on.

    I suspect that the radio feature is disabled in the BIOS but I don't have Windows running on the laptop over to change the setting. Is it possible to access BIOS options under linux? Toshutils are not supported by the tecra because she seems to have a Phoenix BIOS.

    I hope you can help!

    Hello

    Tecra S1 supports BIOS Toshiba you can access BIOS by pressing ESC at the beginning of the startup.
    In any case I think you won't find anything in the BIOS.

    If you are not able to use the switch of material on the side of the laptop then the Wlan card is not compatible or the hardware switch is malfunctioning. I would say that the card is not supported.

    Maybe the insulation of the 13 pin might help please check that this son:

  • Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

    After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

    Laptop is only a few months old.
    Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
    Tried Windows Update - does not help.
    Tried registry fix - does not help.

    Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
    The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Very strange what s
    Try this:

    Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
    If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

    You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

    Good luck my friend

  • Satellite L40-18 X - wireless switch does not work

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 on Satellite L40 - 18 x, PSL48E, the installation seems correct. After installation I noticed that the wireless switch on/off (power) switch does not. The wireless network is working except the functionality of switch.

    It worked on Windows Vista. I installed all the up-to-date drivers for the network card wireless, including atheros, configfree, chipset drivers, but no effect.

    Please can someone tell me the possibole solution?

    Salahaddin

    Hello

    I agree with resident.
    The Wlan switch on the side of the laptop has all the drivers and it works independently of the installed software!

    The FN + F8 key combination that allows the WLan should work on if install you value added package.

    You should also check if the WLan card is set on IT in Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab WLan card.

    See you soon

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 PSU41E - com wireless switch does not work after Win7

    Hello

    I did an upgrade from 32-bit Windows 7 Professional (clean install) to my SatPro this week, and almost everything is fine. I reinstalled Win7 readers listed on this site and my software with no obvious problems. I say almost because the switch for wireless on the front of the unit has stopped working.

    Previously with the switch pushed to the left of that internal map could be put off, it remains now on. The light goes out! The wireless card works OK and connect to home and office wifi networks, but I can not turn off when connected using a connection cable.

    Any thoughts on how to restore the switch function? I have looked for the readers, but cannot identify all.

    Thank you

  • Satellite P750 - wireless card does not work

    PSAY3A - 02q 001. Laptop is around the age of 20 months. Turned on this afternoon and the Wireless does not work. Atheros AR9002WB-1NG. Can't b on / off switch material. The switch will beep when pushed. Network troubleshooting indicates the card is not activated. Card is always detected in windows.

    I feel that this indicates that the card has failed. Any thoughts?

    was soon Simon

    > Card is always detected in windows.
    Does that mean exactly?
    WLan is listed in Device Manager?
    And if SO, have you tried reinstalling the WLan driver again?

    If you tried that, do it!
    Uninstall the Wlan driver (in Device Manager), download the latest driver WLan driver Toshiba page, install the driver, reboot the laptop and try to set up the connection.

  • Satellite A205-S4777 - XP does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hello!

    Recently I buyed a new satellite Toshiba A205-S4777 with Windows Vista home premium installed
    and I noticed too many errors in Windows Vista and the pc is very slow so I decided to downgrade to XP

    I want to directly install Windows XP but the installer does not recognize the hard drive or more exactly controllers!

    I nLite Sata drivers in Windows Xp Sp2, I bought on the microsoft.com site!

    Everything worked well.
    The Installer recognized fine hard and Setup finallased!

    But here's the problem when loading windows and try to pass on gorge yourself sort of blue screen one unreadable!

    And restarts and let, it does all day the same thing!

    I'm afraid that I have not nLite the right drivers.

    Is there anyone Heve downgraded this model?
    Thanx

    Hello

    Maybe you did not use good SATA driver?  :| Who knows
    The point is that there are two different versions of Intel Matrix Storage Manager supports different chipsets.
    I put t know what chipset is in charge of your laptop but you should check this and must also check the description of the Intel Storage Manager and check what chipsets are supported.

    In addition, you should have a look here in this doc from Toshiba:

    Hello

    First of all, you should check if the wireless network adapter has been properly recognized in Device Manager.

    Otherwise->, reinstall the WLan card driver
    If Yes,-> check the TCP\IP protocol properties if everything on automatic

    I put t know how you have configured the wifi but there were two possibilities;
    You used the Windows's own configuration options or you used a tool 3rd as Intel ProSet or Atheros client utility.

    Generally, you should check all simple options such as the SSID, WLan encryption, mac address filtering, etc to know what s wrong.

  • Data satellite Pro 6100 wireless switch does not

    I just rebuilt my 6100 with xp professional, but now will not turn my switch wireless on! Which means that I can not get the Wi - Fi connection and I can't install the bluetooth drivers... anyone have any ideas?

    Hello

    What switch do you mean? Do you mean the switch on the side of the laptop or the FN F8 key combination?
    Usually after the operating system installation, you will need to install the WLan card driver and the FN keys to use the FN combination.
    Check Device Manager if the wireless network card is installed correctly.
    If you need drivers Toshiba then please visit the Toshiba driver page.

  • (Wireless) service does not, access denied - Windows 7

    I am running Windows 7 family and have just started to loss of internet connection.  I had recently bought and ran the software PC Matic, perform a scan and an option "auto-fix".  He seemed to have lost the WiFi connection as well, but I'm not sure.  The only thing I know is that my Wireless Service does not and shows "stopped" in the Task Manager, and the service is "automatic".

    When I try to 'start' Wireless Service, a dialog box appears informing me that "access denied."  How can I fix it?

    Help, please...

    Hey, Kent.

    Thanks for posting your concern. Let's see if there are programs or applications that blocks the internet connection by performing a clean boot. Please see the instructions under "Windows 7 and Windows Vista" in this link: How to perform a boot in Windows.

    1. press on the Windows key on your keyboard.
    2 type cmd, then right click on the result, then choose Run as Administrator.
    3. enter sfc/scannow.

    My Photosmart c309a printer is not ALL networks.

    -a the recent failure of electricity, but all computers domestic mobile re-login to the network;

    -a ran HP wireless network Test Report which shows wireless "On", but "The FAILURE" of wireless work;

    -diagnostic report also shows wireless radio does not. and I have to contact HP support.

    So far, I took the following measures:

    -stop the entire network (Linksys router)

    -unplugged and replugged the printer and router

    -set factory default printer

    -all I can think (but go ballistic)

    I have a similar problem, except that my 309 a link but if it is idle for a few moments he log out and have to stop and reconnected or reset using the configuration menu.  Contact with HP said that HP is aware of the problem but that he has no intention to post a fix and the problem is inherent in most of their printers...  Techrep indicated that the best solution to get a new printer.  I recently bought a Canon all-in-one and it works as advertised.  I always use my HP in a wireless mode, but you need to restart after each impression if more that a few short minutes between printing.  Sorry I'm no help, but just passing on what HP says about this printer.
