Satellite A350-02 t on the basis of normal operations, seems slow

I just bought a new Satellite A350-02 t to replace a non-defective Toshiba laptop. My old laptop was 1.6 GHz AMD Turion Dual Core with 2x256KB of cache L2 and 1 GB of RAM and slow. Often, I have to wait for the programs to load or switch between the screens.

My new laptop is 2.16 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core with 1 MB of L2 Cache and 3 GB of RAM and seems to run pretty slow as well. I was expecting to fly compared to my old laptop. And I really haven't had the opportunity to put to the test. Everything I do is surf the internet, word/pdf documents visualization and personalization of the laptop.

Is this normal or do you think something might not work properly?

Also, I've first turning on laptop, it took about 2 hours to complete the initial Setup.
It seems normal?

Hello!

Well buddy, it's not easy to tell what is the reason for this and I think that it s only a software application or something else that make the cell phone a little more slow.

You use Windows XP or Vista? If you are using Vista, you should check this Toshiba document:
http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ9401B10001R01.htm

If you have installed some 3rd party applications remove them and defragment your HARD drive at any time.

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

Good bye

  • Satellite A350 - 12J Faliure of the BIOS after update.

    Hello world.

    I am owner of Toshiba Satellite A350-12J (it's the PSALME series). Recently I received the message in Toshiba Tempro, having said that I should update my BIOS, so I decided to do. I downloaded proprer version from the Toshiba site, which was 1.5 and follow the instructions to update (I want to mention here, this isn't my first update of the BIOS). After that update was done to my restarted laptop and does not start again. The screen is black all the time.

    When I try to turn the fan runs for a few seconds and then goes down, there is an activity in the USB and DVD devices but it's only for a few seconds and then more nothing.

    Oh, almost forgot that HARD drive also works. I read that in the Phoenix based BIOS there is that something called crisis recovery, so I tried, laptop starts in this mode (I can say, because in it is fan of fashion goes up to system and RPM max tries to boot from USB Floppy).

    I tried crisis Revovery in several combinations and during the process, it seems that it is flashing my BIOS (crisis recovery disk whith Floppy is read for about 2-3 minutes), but after I wait and give him time to reflash (10-15 minutes each time) for computer laptop stiil starts.

    I think that maybe this version of BIOS (1.5) is bad or something. Maybe Somone have original BIOS for this laptop, I would be very grateful for these BIOS or maybe someone has an idea of what is wrong there.

    In case someone has the original BIOS was kind enough to send me, here is my email:

  • Is satellite A350 - touchpad icon on the desktop - it OK?

    I have a dell touchpad icon on my Satellite A350 laptop desk.

    I think that memoryit said Alps pointing device, when I put the cursor on the icon in the notification area. IM assuming he's changed when I have the drivers updated some weeks ago with uniblue.

    I'd like to know if this is right, should it be there?

    The touchpad still works, but I mainly use a wireless mouse. Just to clear things up, I have a laptop of toshiba a350.

    Thanks for any help

    In General, if there is no problem with the functionality of mobile it's OK but I don t understand why you make updates with uniblue if all required drivers are available on the Toshiba download page.

    In my opinion, you must delete all the stuff non-Toshiba laptop and make sure that you use the last orders of the Toshiba download page.

  • Can I install Win XP on a Satellite A350 & where to find the drivers?

    Hello!

    I just bought a Satellite A350 and the Adobe Master Collection does not correctly install on Windows Vista, I would like to install Windows XP on the laptop.
    Allas, the drivers on this site for the A350 are only for Vista? Can not I install XP on it at all, and if I can, where can I find the necessary drivers?

    Thanks for the help!

    Gascoigne

    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.
    But for Win XP is not available for this series of laptop and in this case, you will need to search the drivers of your own hands.

    Many laptop series uses the same devices and so the drivers should work also.
    I would recommend some other series laptop like Satellite A300 or another and try the XP drivers released for these models.

  • Satellite A350 - plastik cover at the edge of the webcam to remove?

    Video of the webcam integrated my new A350 Satellite is - even in good light conditions - very blurry, the integrated microfon tune is - even regulated to max - very low.

    In front of the webcam, there's a blanket of plastik (written Web camera).
    At this cover to remove for better/original video?

    If so, how to do? I tried gently, but do not want to damage anything.

    THX in advance
    Rainer

    > In front of the webcam, there is a plastic (webcam wrote about it).
    > At this cover to remove for better/original video?

    No! This plastic cover cannot be deleted. He fixed s!
    I have a U400 and I've got the same guy with the same coverage you cannot delete it certainly!

    If your webcam image is too fuzzy so I would recommend activation of the night mode in the properties of the webcam!
    In the audio settings of the webcam properties you can increase the volume (volume mic) in order to obtain better sound quality.

  • Satellite A350-22D - cannot activate the network (Windows 10) wireless adapter

    With Windows 10 Wi - Fi worked well. Suddenly three days it s active no more
    FN + F8 does not work.
    The switch in front of the computer or the other.
    At startup, the computer recognizes the card and then turns off the front LED.

    The card WiFi Intel 5100 AGN and pilots the latest work well.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled but no result.
    What can I do to get my Wi - Fi works again?

    PS: when I've been upgraded to Windows 8, it had the same problem...

    This old notebook was designed for Vista and support for Win7. No more than that.
    FN + F8 is controlled by special tool developed for the feature FN keys.

    As much I know Toshiba offers no update for this older model laptop.
    Let's see if any other A350 owner has found a solution for this.

    I have A300 with Win7 on it, but I don't want to test with Win10 due to all possible issues I have with her.

  • Satellite A350: How to change the size of the partitions on the HARD drive?

    Hello

    I have a Satalite A350 with a 250 G, but for some reason hard drive any, that it has been partitioned with 114 for the C drive and a huge 114 for drive E g which is simply the recovery disc. I'm now at 20 g on the C, but still have a Virgin 100 g on the e.

    I guess that my computer has been incorrectly partitioned, and I know that I can reduce the E but this will increase the C?
    See you soon
    pixxyco

    Hello

    AFAIK, you can reduce the partitions in managing disks (Vista and Win 7).
    But if you reduce the E partition so the free space would be available after the E partition and you will not be able to add this free space on the C partition, which is placed behind the E partition.

    But maybe a tool of partitions 3rd third party could help you

    It is a great free tool called Gparted.

  • Satellite A350 - BIOS should offer the FAN control

    Hello
    I A350 - 110.

    I think BIOS should also offer FAN control. Perhaps some programmers from Toshiba will read this post and do something with it. Fan should work all the time but with a smaller than speed from time to time at almost full speed.

    The BIOS does not provide such function, but you can change some settings in Vista Power such Mangment suggested by Luke!

    But Toshiba created a * TOSHIBA Power Saver. There is an option * TOSHIBA Power Saver Settings-> cooling method *.

    + This option specifies a method of cooling CPU for maximum performance CPU is better battery life with reduced CPU performance. If the CPU fan noise seems too strong, a setting that maximizes the battery life is causing the CPU fan running less often. +

    Anyone knows how I can cut the House speaker while connecting to the external speaker?
    I want to use my laptop in libuary, but when I plug in the headphones, the speaker still his, when I put in muted, the speaker and the headphones the two silent.
    How can I configure the silent speaker, while external speakers can only keep silent?

    > Knowledge how can I mute the speaker internal while connecting to the external speaker?

    I guess you have a Realtek sound card and Realtek HD audio Manager should appear in Control Panel.

    Please check this Realtek HD audio Manager.
    The speakers on the right tab, you will see the options analog & digital.
    Right click one of the option and check if you could see a few options that provide a framework in order to mute the speakers.

    You will also see the option called: the advantage of the device settings.
    Check this box too.

    PS; my laptop automatically the internal speakers if the headphones have been connected.
    I read in other threads that update the audio driver might help too, but first test the settings as mentioned above.
