• Satellite A30: Card sound & Chipset driver problem.

  Hi all
  I'm about to get REALLY crazy! I would really appreciate if someone can help me...

  My story is:
  I lost all my CD recovery & pilot who gave me in 2004. But I had to format my pc this weekend due to many reasons of system (bugs, unable to connect to the net, etc.).
  My first step was to Toshiba site, I downloaded all kinds of drivers for Satellite A30. And I had XP Professional SP2 from my friend and installed it. But after completing all the facilities below is the result:

  (1) NO. SOUND :(

  2 points to mark on the 2 points that are a) multimedia sound controller and b) PCI Modem in Device Manager / other devices.

  (3) Chipset installation error message: Chipset Intel (r) utility installation requires platform chipsets supported by the supported operating system. Read the section of the system requirements in the Readme.txt for more information.
  So far I checked the forums my chipset has not been installed correctly, but when I try yo install the Intel chipset 895PE (csutil-sa30-xp - 5011015.zip) I downloaded download address http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, it gives the error message and some people says to install the drivers in good order as, first install XP with SP1, and then install utilitt chipset, and then install SP2 etc... But it seems not to be easy for me...

  Really, I can repeat my FORMAT again, but in what order process...
  Thank you...

  Hello

  Just to inform that my problem has been resolved in itself :)
  I reformatted my laptop and installed new computer the original XP Pro SP2 by following the instructions.

  His problem was solved automatically, no installation utility chipset required...
  The noise problem was probably caused by lack of update Microsoft KB835221 for SP1 and KB888111 for SP2, which then was resolved with the XP of more recent origin...

• Satellite Pro P300-19 q - keyboard problem

  Hello

  I bought a * Satellite Pro P300-19 q * laptop and got the shipment yesterday. I am happy with the features and performance of the laptop. It has a keypad as well. The problem is the key board sinks and rises all the keys the keys (lower-right). I feel like its not secure properly. The key to this place Board feels fragile and irritating during use. Even some of my laptops at low prices to friends do not experience this problem. I can't live with it like that because it's a new laptop.
  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Thank you
  Ravi

  Hello

  Satellite Pro P300 I almost three months now and I can confirm that keyboard on this area is not stable on the other side, but it moves when I press with very great strength. Typing normal I do not use so much force and I have very sensitive keys. Just give a contact, and the symbols are on the screen. I use laptops for a year now and type on the computer keyboard is different as standard desktop with large and robust keys keyboard.

  To be honest, I don't see any problem here. Maybe you use to force much press. If you check the mechanism under the keyboard protects it's so small and sensitive, and you can press the keys very gently.

  So for me there is no problem at all. If you think that the keyboard should be more service contact stabile and explain the situation.

• Satellite L450 - 18 d - language keyboard problem

  Hello!

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L450 - 18 d, which was purchased in England in May and then sent to me to Portugal, so I chose Portuguese as default language for my keyboard. However, for the last two weeks, I had this problem: since I installed Microsoft Office 2007 and the Office SP2 update, I had this curious situation with accents - instead of see only 1 focus whenever I click on a button, I see 2 accents (with one click).

  Something like this:
  "(1 click); ~ ~ (1 click); ´´´ (2 clicks) and so on. This is * huge *, _because we use a lot of accents in portuguese_ - for example, I should be able to write + português + (written in Notepad) and not + Português ^ ^ are +!

  Now, this does not occur when I use Notepad, but happens to all other programs (Office, Works, OpenOffice,...) and also in my browser (Mozilla Firefox). Is it possible that I can manually remove or manipulate focus associated with a specific key? I tried to change the default language of Brazilian Portuguese and uninstall Office 2007, but the problem remains... It would be associated with an update about Office?

  Thanks for your time!
  Petra

  Hey,.

  To be honest this really strange behavior...

  Interesting, it would be if you remove Microsoft Office if the problem still exists or not. If so, it seems to be related to Microsoft Office and therefore, you must contact Microsoft for the detailed response.

  Otherwise, you can check only the keyboard input language. Make sure that only one language is defined.

• On Satellite Pro C50-A-1HP keyboard problems

  I have seen other issues of keyboard on the thread, but none of them do not seem to match mine!

  I got this computer since January and already have problems with the keyboard. The main problem is the left arrow key - it works when I press on the left side, but not if I press on the other side of the key.

  I also have the feeling that the other keys do not always work as well as it should - sometimes, I know that I pressed a button, but the letter does not appear. It's just random and sporadic I can say (while the key problem of the arrow is consistent).

  I would be grateful if anyone has any advice on this problem and if that means getting a new keyboard, or if it can be easily fixed.

  Thank you!

  On the virtual path that is not easy to say why you have this questions but as much as I know there is not some difficulty for her.

  I think keyboard must be exchanged.
  What model of laptop do you have?
  Can share you one?

• Satellite C50-A-1DV - mouse / keyboard problem

  Just bought this laptop and have heard of problems with the keyboard and mouse.
  It happened to me today.

  The mouse stops just in response to the movement of the keyboard.
  Thought that update of Windows 8 may have changed / added something so this causes rolled the driver in Device Manager that was available as an option, but now is not.

  The mouse still works sometimes and sometimes not. If I press F5 it sometimes is.

  using the FN and F5 took me to the keyboard layout where I set the keyboard to the default setting and it worked well for a while and then stopped again.

  Someone suggested removing the battery and now the switch for 20 seconds, but has nothing actually. Is an appropriate solution for this outside assistance from a separate mouse?

  All thoughts welcome.

  Thank you

  Dave

  Hello Deborah

  The touchpad could be simply disabled in case where you have not checked it in the past, the combination of keys try Fn + F5 to switch from a touchpad on/OFF function.

  In case this does not resolve your problem, reinstall the electric Synaptics and Alps Touchpad driver.
  Both can be found and downloaded from the Toshiba UE driver page:

• Satellite L555 - 11L - Sound and keyboard problem

  (1) 2 months after the purchase, laptop began screaming sound. He brought back to Fnac, they restored the system. The screeching starts now if the level of speakers is higher than 50% or if I plug headphones with microphone. Making it difficult to use Skype. What could be the cause?

  ((2) recently, keyboard became slow - Return key and SPACEBAR react unless you press several times and 'double letters' (repeat) will not work unless I stop everything first before typing the new letter--regardless of the letter). I tried to change the properties of keyboard long/short, delay/frequency, no difference. Browsing the forum, I noticed that + users with similar problems also have a computer laptop french keyboard +. Would he be there? What should I try how can I set the properties of the keyboard, anyway?

  Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Are you running the factory settings or did you do your own installation of Windows?

• Satellite M105-S1021 - delay of keyboard problem

  My keyboard does not work right. Just typing this is atrocious. When I press a button, I have to hold it down for a good three seconds until the letter is displayed. I tried to reboot several times, I've defragmented, I checked my keyboard settings in the Control Panel, I uninstalled the only program that I installed in the last month or more - this following Asian thing so I can display Japanese characters on my computer - no luck.

  I really don't want to have to buy a new keyboard or laptop. My laptop is only a little less than two years.

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Basically, I have my laptop for writing.

  Can you get somewhere external keyboard and test how it works? It will be interesting to see if the problem persists.

  The fact is that you use the keyboard very intensely and perhaps that the contacts are not so good more.

• Satellite A30-PSA30E Intel 2200BG wireless problem

  Hello
  I bought the new wireless card intel 2200BG miniPCI for my Toshiba laptop. I have card connected to the miniPCI slot free and both cables are connected as well.
  My problem is that this hardware switch on the right side of my laptop does not work (no led light). The original Intel software is posting I have material activate this card. Can you help me please?

  Hi Michael

  I hope that you have connected the card properly. The white cable must be connected to the HAND and a black to the power supply please check if the card is recognized and properly installed. The status is displayed in the Device Manager. The wireless adapter should appear under network adapters.

• Alternative to the reset by Satellite A660 for potential HARD drive problem

  In the last week or two, I got a few blue screens, saying he was driving demand, and that windows must be shut down to avoid damage my computer.

  I have just restart and continue working.
  The last time it happened, I had repeatedly "initialization failed" and it says hdd, SDS, fdd. If I pressed the power button until I didn't see no signs of activity, then started. Things went well. I called Toshiba support and they recommended that I go home and save my files before continuing. It took hours selectively to clean, sort the previous backups, and a small footprint of the backup system.

  When I called Toshiba once again, they recommended a "takeover", which is restoring the factory settings. It puts me in the stone age. I have to go through a never-ending process of the upgrade to Windows 7 Pro 64-bit, install and reconfigure all the applications and environments/configurations, etc. It will essentially take on holiday, if not more. I'll also have to get another computer (maybe a netbook) to stay in touch while I restart my laptop. It's barely more than a year.

  Is there a diagnosis I can do to determine the probability that there is a hard drive problem? Support for Toshiba said that is the surest way, because it provides a diagnostic F10 for the hard disk code, and it also pushes the bad sectors at the end of the disc (logically, I suppose, since you can't physically move a fault).

  > About Hitachi DFT, is it important that my HARD drive is Toshiba mk6465gsx? This is what is displayed "Hard drives" in the Device Manager.

  It s no matter what HARD drive manufacturer, it is the Drive Fitness Test is able to scan all hard drives to find errors.

  > Also, http://www.hitachigst.com/support/downloads/#DFTshows links to create boot disks, but I was wondering if I could create a bootable instead.

  Not sure if this is possible if there is that one option to create a startup disk, and then a flash stick does not work. But of course you can try this out.

  > This laptop does not come with a floppy drive, and I still create coasters trying to burn discs.
  You don't need the floppy drive, the tool must create a disk bootable (CD)

  > I guess that the same question can be asked on Memtest86. Another issue is the relevance of Memtest86 for my system. My c drive has a "Program Files" folder, but also a "Program Files (x 86)" folder for 32-bit applications. Memtest86 is for the x 86 architecture. I don't know if my 64-bit Windows 7 involves a non - x 86 architecture.

  I guess that Memtest86 should also work on Win 7 64 bit systems. But also the MemTest 4.20 is 64-bit capable

• Satellite A30 hibernation and activation problems

  Hello

• Satellite A30-504 modem does not

  Hi all

  Old old old Satellite A30 504 my father had problems of modem for quite awhile. Here are the symptoms exposed:

  Modem is recognized as "TOSHIBA Software Modem AMR" and classified works correctly. However, when you query the modem, I get the following message:

  + The port that the modem is attached could not be opened. This can be the result of a hardware conflict. Check the Device Manager to verify that all devices are functional. +

  Settings of resources:
  Range of e/s-2400-24FF
  E/s series 2000-207F
  IRQ 7
  (I can't change any of these settings)

  Needless to say that the modem does not work.

  Has anyone ever met such a problem before? Does anyone know of a way to fix this? I really don't want to get a PCMCIA modem for this laptop, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you in advance!

• Satellite A30 - portable computer turns off

  Hello
  Ive hada satellite a30 for about 2 years now.
  A few weeks ago, I reformatted the laptop and now whenever I watch a DVD after that 30 minutes, the laptop turns off and then used charging for a while.
  In my view, it is an overheating problem but im not sure what is causing it or how to fix it.
  Anyone has any suggestions would be accepted greatifully.
  Sincere greetings
  My

  Hello

  Well, of course, it could be an overheating problem. If the temperature drops to the critical limit for the operating system stops the unit. It is a thermal protection of the portable Toshiba.
  Well, the overheating problem is a very serious problem. I recommend to check for dust cooling fans. Try to clean it with the vacuum cleaner.

  Good bye

• Satellite A30 shuts down / blocks

  Hello
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A30 for about 2 years with no problems. Until today...

  I was chatting on MSN Messenger, but had to put my missing status and left the computer for about an hour.

  When I came back to it, the screen was all what it was when I left, but there was no control of the mouse, no whirring HARD drive away, not nothing. In fact, it seemed that he had closed the partitally without turning off the screen.

  The only way I could reboot had to turn off the power. I disconnected the battery, reconnected everything and tried to reload. I don't even have as much as Logo of Toshiba screen, click on the HARD drive, * which is normal for this machine * and off.

  I thought that maybe it was an overheating issue, then I left for half an hour and go home. This time it restarts, but the display was all out of sync. was on 800 x 600 when its usually on the following resolution. (Don't remember who he is). I ran dxdiag and he told me that there is no present display driver, as I had reloaded using the last well known record. It was not a problem, I reinstalled drivers, restarted without any problem.

  Everything was fine for 2 h with the laptop, so at this point, I don't think it was a heat issue. I went through the net, when hung just computer still once, I lost all control of the mouse, even if the optical lights on it were always activate when moved, and he seemed to stop again.

  Well, I left for 10 minutes, he came back and tried again, it started ok, but as soon as I tried to access anything, he hung up again, forcing me to press the power button to shut down.

  Sorry for the lengthy post, but can anyone shed light on this point, I use my laptop on a daily basis, and there are things about it, as I need to access.

  I hope someone can help

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is very interesting because it can happen to anyone. I really put t know which can block the laptop. On this way, we can only speculate and it is really not easy to say why this happens to concrete.

  I put t know how is your unit configured and that these (process) applications run in the background, but you can try to stop all the unnecessary stuff and see what is happening in this case. Check the Device Manager and make sure that everything is properly recognized. After that create a system restore point and in this way you can restore the system to an earlier time if something goes wrong.

  If you do not find what happens I recommend you back up the data and do the recovery procedure. On this way the unit will be own pre-installed and things like this can happen. As you know sometimes happen oddities and there is no logical explanation.

  Good luck!

• Questions of Touchpad on Satellite A30

  Hi all

  Recently, I sent my Satellite A30 for repairs because the touchpad is dead. Since I had 'fix', his erratic behavior. Sometimes, I lost all the horizontal movement, with only the operation of the vertical direction. Sometimes during a windows session, I lose the feature full touchpad (including the left/right button).

  I also noticed that a fresh windows session allows me to use scrolling (side of the touchpad) and also rear ease in web browsers. However, after a few moments, windows stopss recognizing the scroll and the b/f gestures (even if the touchpad in my tray icon highlights the fact that I use).

  I've updated my ALPS drivers to the latest version, but that didn't fix it.

  I'm guessing that it's a software issue and not a hardware fault as a reboot solves these problems temporarily. I don't know if there is a hardware problem that confuses the software. I have no idea.

  If anyone has any ideas or has experienced this before, please let me know as it's more boring.

  See you soon,.

  Jason

  Hello

  It's not easy to say why this touchpad problem.
  Questions sometimes very strange occur due to overheating. I noticed that if the temperature goes down to the critical level of the operating system stops, the laptop crashes or many strange issues occurs as a malfunction of the touchpad. In your case, I recommend that you check the cooling modules and try to use the vacuum cleaner for cleaning. Maybe it helps.

  The second possibility is that the touchpad has a malfunction. You know, it has been replaced in the past and it is possible that there is something wrong with the hardware.
  You can contact Toshiba service partner and explain the situation after the replacement of touchpad.

  Good luck
