• Satellite A350 - strange problem with hitatchi HTS ATA 320 GB HARD DRIVE

  Recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A350 - still under warranty.

  My problem started with gel/delay of Windows whenever I transferred specific files.
  I found that a lot of my files are the same; It's then that I transfer or open these files - this can take 10 minutes to load crash, then displays a corruption error
  During this phase:
  The hard drive makes a slow repetitive scratching sound
  The laptop hangs for an average of 10 minutes before returning to a usable state - I found more than 15 files and suspect many more that are corrupt.
  I suspect a faulty hard drive, like the check disk crashes and my system hangs whenever I open / transfer of these files.

  I tried to reformat and install the new OS, but always check disk crashes and I lost a lot of important files, because they became unusable.

  Is there something I can do to remedy this
  or
  If the hard disk is defective, Toshiba will replace?

  BTW - I m in Australia.

  Hello

  Exciting announcement, but it will be interesting to know how exactly you do and what kind of data are responsible for this. I want to say I use laptop computers and can not say that some of the data makes my crazy HDD.

  If you really think that there is a problem with the disk HARD nearest Toshiba authorized service provider contact. They will check the functionality of the HARD drive, and if there is a serious hardware problem, you will get a new. Of course for free.

• On the Satellite A350-12Z power problem

  Hello

  Since today im problems with my diet.

  What's happening:

  When I connect my power adapter to charge my battery the battery sign comes on for 2 seconds and then turn off again. Windows does not recognize recharge the battery.

  Now I ' m unable to give more details, because the battery has gone flat.

  If I remove the battery and try AC only the laptop will not connect. The battery must be inserted in order to start. so the power will go to the battery first, then the system which is quite strange.

  The battery itself shows no signs of damage / leaks.

  Output voltage on DC: 19.55VDC @ A 6.32
  AC adapter: specifications and my readings, not defective.

  Model: Satellite A350-12z

  Thank you

  Hello

  Are you using the original Toshiba battery and AC/DC adapter or some parts of 3rd party?

  That's why strange notebook doesn t start without battery. Usually, you can always start your laptop with an AC/DC adapter, battery is not necessary.

  So either it's something wrong with the AC adapter or motherboard right now I think that it s mainboard failure.

• Satellite A350-20 q - Touchpad does not

  Hello members,

  I have a Satellite A350-20 q that is running a Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit operating system. The problem is with the touchpad which stops working when the laptop is connected to the
  AC power supply and everything that happens, I can feel the static on the buttons near the tablet which are metallic.

  The touchpad works fine when it runs on battery and it causes a lot of trouble because I move around a bit and can't take my mouse around.

  I called Toshiba support, but all said, it was to replace the charger that does not make any sense to me but I try, and again, it doesn't help much.

  The touchpad works very well when Vista is installed and is not updated, but once the system is fully updated it starts to cause problems and I can't yet determine which update is the cause of the problem that there are many Windows vista updates are installed.

  Help, please!
  I installed all the drivers and have the latest synaptic driver installed on the system right now.

  Thank you.

  Abhishek

  > I had called support of Toshiba, but all said, it was to replace the charger that does not make any sense to me but I try, and again, it doesn't help much.

  I think that this logic because the touchpad does not work ONLY when the AC adapter is connected.
  I found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=141976𢪘
  He has helped about the similar issue and replacement AC adapter!

  > The touchpad works very well when Vista is installed and is not updated, but once the system is fully updated it starts to cause problems and I can't determine same update is the cause of the problem that it is has many windows updates vista that are installed.

  How a windows update to do the buttons on the touchpad statically? It is meaningless for me so be it hardware or software s problem

  If this software (update of the OS) then deliver the power adapter should not all affect on the buttons on the touch pad but if there s a hardware problem, then the OS updates should not affect the functionality of the touchpad as well

  I think that it s a strange question and you should get in touch with a local ASP (partner) in your country in order to check the touchpad.

• Satellite A350 - FM tuner appears in the Device Manager?

  I have a FM tuner device, but I don't see that he listed in Device Manager. I checked hidden devices and it does not always show.

  How to see it in the list of drivers in the driver manager? (Why she get hidden well?)

  Where this device get its drivers or is it without a driver and only works with the tuner NXP software and the antenna

  Thanks for any help on this

  Hello perfection,

  Do you mean a FM tuner Satellite A350 internal or external one?
  As far as I know the Satellite A350 doesn t have FM tuner

  If you have an external FM tuner have you installed the driver for it? If so it should be listed in the device if Manager she s connected to the laptop.

• Re: Battery discharge by itself - Satellite A350

  I've got Toschiba Satellite A350 PSAL6E and Vista 32 bit Home Premium. The release of the battery itself for 10% by night (after 24 hours). I checked the Wake On LAN in the BIOS option and disabled (in Windows). And what is happening all the time.

  Laptop has only a few months so is this normal? What I need to use warranty repair?

  This behavior is nothing unusual, and I noticed on my Satellite A300. The last time I checked it battery lost 7% of its power during the night. You can contact the closest service and ask why this is happening, but you will see that they will confirm that it is normal and only occur not only on your laptop model.

  Don't worry about this.

• Touchpad and energy savings does not-Satellite A350

  I installed Windows 7 64 on my laptop Toshiba A350 - 13 c.
  During installation, I used the USB mouse. After installation I noticed that the touchpad is not working. I have downloaded the driver Synaptics for W7 toshiba download site, but it did not help. Then I downloaded the original Synaptics driver from their site, but it didn't help also. In Device Manager it is dev Touchpad pointing and it looks like I'm going to work very well. The indicates even me that synaptics tray agent. However, when I click on its icon - > Accessories-> graph of pressure (or similar name - I translated it in my lang), it returns an error message: Sorry, this program requires Synaptics TouchPad device and Synaptics pointing driver. What is going on?

  I also downloaded Toshiba Value added for W7 and installed Package. HoweverPower Saver does not work (I reinstalled PVAT but he fixed nothing). On the start menu, there is no shortcut to ch, as there are shortcuts to other applications of added value package. PS the service seems to work but main program does not work when I double click on it in files\Tosh program... folder.
  What is more, I got 3 unknown devices in dev Manager. I don't know what it is because all of the dev team. (except the touchpad) works very well. I also installed Intel chipset drv., Realtek HD Audio, Intel, Ati storage chart drv. but it did not help.
  I guess that these 3 unknown devices can really be a device actually, because all are: primary system on bus PCI 32 device.

  Help, please.

  > I downloaded driver Synaptics for W7 toshiba download site, but it did not help
  Can you please tell me where you found the Synaptics driver on Toshiba Satellite A350-13 c download page
  I can t see this driver on the list.

  I don't know that laptop, you used before, but since Vista Power Saver is a little different and you don't find it in the start menu, but in advanced power options.
  I can't tell you much because I know not what drivers you have installed and that are lacking on the unknown devices. Just install all of them.

• Satellite A350 - Wireless does not work

  Hi, I have a Satellite A350 under Vista 64

  I have a problem with my wireless light and functional (next to the power switch) doesn't turn only not on, even if the switch is on. I had this happen repeatedly and it easily fixed with FN + F8. Though, now there is no FN + F8, for example when you hold down the FN key, there no option (wireless) of F8. I've updated to the latest drivers from Realtek and BIOS network card. Neither have solved the problem.

  I consulted the manual of Toshiba and found "If no wireless communication device is installed, no (FN + F8) dialog box will appear." When I looked in the Device Manager, the adapter (Realtek) work properly.

  I also tried many restorations system in an attempt to cancel any updates that may have caused the problem.

  What can I do else?

  At first try to restart the cards Flash Start > all programs > Toshiba > utilities > restart Flash Cards
  After doing this test FN feature once again. If the problem persists, reinstall package of added value.

• Re: Satellite A350-13 has - problems with warranty

  I bought Toshiba Satellite A350-13 a to the 01.09.2009. Months ago, my graphics card doesn't work anymore, so when I had turned on my screen remained black all the time. Next day 16.03.2010 I gave my laptop for the guarantee. After three weeks, they called saying me, of course they will repair laptop when they are a party. And it belongs to the hilarious story. I was told that the parts will be at their desks 16.06.2010. I was using my laptop for 7 months, and now I have to wait 3 months for repair?

  Is not that bad for me as a customer to be our as a person. They don't give me something (any laptop) as a replacement for these 3 months...
  I am schocked that today as big as Toshiba company can't get graphics card. I'm sad and I'm angry that I bought their laptop, and I regret it.

  Can I do something?

  Hello

  It's really ridiculous to wait 3 months to get fixed. I see, you're of the Poland, and there are 5 centres of service according to the user manual. It seems strange that they do not have a graphics card to all.

• Satellite A350-13D - brightness slider suddenly disappeared

  Hello

  I got a toshiba satellite a350-13d, with windows 7, installed long ago worked perfectly out of the FN keys work. However it was not my problem, that I could change the brightness of the screen with the cursor provided by windows...

  But... All of a sudden, my brightness slider is over. I had not installed the new drivers, windows stopped showing me the ability to change the brightness of the screen (by clicking on the battery status icon in the traybar what he used to say 'change the brightness of the screen', and if I click on 'other options', he went too). Does anyone have a solution for this?

  I have already installed all the drivers from the toshiba site, so this isn't the problem.

  Thank you

  Koen

  Hello

  Strange may this problem s registry or something like that

  You can change the brightness of the screen here:

  Panel of-> all items in Control Panel-> display-> brightness control (left)

  Otherwise, you might try to get the FN buttons work.
  To do this, you must earn 7 Vientiane (value package) and utility Toshiba Flash Cards for Win 7.

  I found the Toshiba Flash Cards for Win 7 utility on the European driver Toshiba page areas to download Satellite L500

• Can satellite A350-13D - I install Vista 64-bit?

  Hello
  (sorry, I can't speak English very well, sorry if I write to you with its imperfections)

  3 days ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A350-13D. It has 4 GB of RAM, but Windows Vista Home Premium 32 Bit is installed. The computer can use only 3 GB.

  I can't install Vista Home Premium 64-Bit to use all of the RAM (4 GB)? Where can I download the driver for my computer?

  Thanks for your help :)
  Good day

  Hello!

  Of course, you can install Windows Vista 64 bit, why not? What do you think?

  On the Toshiba site I can find all the drivers for Vista 64 bit on Satellite A350 so it should all work properly with Vista 64. Check yourself:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

  But note there are two different BIOS versions One available for 32-bit and one for 64-bit. After installation of Vista 64-bit, you must refresh the BIOS too.

  Good bye

• Satellite A350-20 q - dead hard drive?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A350-20 q. There always work very well and I use it as my main computer. A week ago I fell asleep without turning off, and when I awoke in the morning, the system had frozen. I tried to make it respond with ctrl alt del and try to sleep, but he had completely locked up and nothing worked so I thought that I had no choice but to hold the power button until it turned off. Once I had rebooted the machine upward it started to load ok but once he had got up in front of loading with the Green scroll bar and on the Welcome screen first bells were ringing and then the hard drive starts clicking and cry, almost like a mixture of a 56 k modem and the rattling noise makes your drive hard when windows starts everything first up on the desktop.

  Now, what I'm trying to get it to load it does the same thing. I tried many things are:

  -Just leave it starts normally

  -From each safemode parameter it gives

  -Startup Repair

  - And where you press f8 and choose repair your computer.

  They all get about 5 seconds to load anything to do with windows and crashed. Clicks last about a minute and then stop and ive left in each of these situations for about 20 minutes to see if it will charge eventually but it just stuck in the same place.

  But what I want to know is, is the dead hard drive or can it be repaired with a new installation of windows. I read somewhere that the hard drives make these noises when they suffer "boot failure"? I can talk complete nonsense here I don't really know much about how to work hard disks and what it takes to get fixed.

  I have a desktop pc and another PC toshiba laptop Equium which can be used to help recover the disk hard if it's possible or even necessary. I don't mind forking out for the recovery disk if I'm sure that his will solve the problem without losing all my data. I asked a guy on a market that had a pc repair saddles but he just said ' dead hard drive I sell you a new "and I had yet to explain everything I just said that he made strange noises so im guessing that he was trying to me con.

  If theres anything I left out or any other questions, I can answer which may help to sort then I'll do my best to answer. I really don't want to lose all my data and I can't really afford to buy a new hard drive with Christmas coming ive just had our 400 pounds on getting my car fixed the fork and MOTed are therefore a bit tight at the moment so if I can fix it without having to spend any money then that would be perfect.

  Thank you for taking the time to read my post and I hope that someone out there knows a solution to my problem.

  Ross.

  Hi Ross

  To be honest, I also think that HARD drive is defective.

  As a first step, you should check if there is a way to access all of your important data.
  You can get 2.5 SATA HDD box and put it inside the HDD of your Satellite A350. Connect it to your other satellite and you will see if you will be lucky and have full access to the HARD disk. If so, back up all your data.

  After having done that, put the HARD drive in your A350 and try installing the OS using original recovery image. I hope that you created the recovery DVDs. If the original image is unable to be installed this will be the sign that the HARD drive may be... you know what I mean.
  You can also try is put this drive in satellite (if SATA HDD can be used here) and try to install the satellite image.

  Test a little.

  If nothing helps, you buy new HARD drive. Check eBay. You'll find used 300 GB HDD for 30 or 40 euros. Hey this is not big investment and I think you can spend so much money.

• Satellite A350 - chain owner of material utility

  Toshiba offers a clever native freeware for its Satellite A350 material utility called series. Several BIOS settings can be changed / set here without going too much into the good BIOS!).

  One of these settings is the abilty to set the password for the owner that is made after a power down. This ID password requested as soon as the laptop is turned on. When you use this parameter I save my password while typing twice as requested. Below, there is an open space that says onwer chain and a message pointing to what it is. That's what I don't understand.
  What is chain owner, what to do and I can change it and where I'm supposed to see? Usually, there is here a few scrambled characters who continue to change and what I'm typing it never stays.

  Can someone explain to me anything on the channel owner?

  Hello

  As I remember, the owner string is meant to give you a way to assert some kind of message to come up with the BIOS password prompt.

  Suppose for example that the unit is owned by a company, this company may wish to define a message type to the person of unlocking the device.
  If the device is stolen, this message can be used to provide information about who it belongs to, so it can be retrieved / returned.
  Or it could be some sort of legal message that say that the use of this device is allowed only by authorized personnel.

  So, it's probably the idea behind this setting.
  Now it's your imagination to make use :)

  See you soon
