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

  • Satellite A350 - how to install common Module and Hotkey Utility?

    Any of you know, I started my computer (Satellite A350) Vista and installed XP Professional.

    But when I want to install "Toshiba Hotkey utility" it says that I need to first install the "common Module. So I downloaded it from the Toshiba site (for win XP), but when I want to install it it says "this software utility does not support this system." and the installation ends. So my question is - how can I install or what I need to install to everything be all right?

    I need "Utility Hotkey" for my special keys on laptop.

    PS of course, I have XP oryginal.

    Hello

    Well, I think that's why it doesn't work, this support of the Satellite A350 doesn t XP. On the Toshiba, you can get only Vista 32 bit and Vista 64-bit drivers.

    For what model of laptop have you downloaded the tools?
    In your case, I would try the utilities for Satellite A300. It is similar to yours, and there you can get all of the XP utilities.

    In the worst case, you can use the special keys on XP. :(

  • Re: Satellite A350-ST3601 - Fn keys do not work on Windows 7

    Hello

    I installed Windows 7 x 64 on my Satellite A350-ST3601 laptop and I have a problem with the Fn keys... Simply, they do no more work...
    I updated the BIOS via ACPI BIOS Flash version 2.20 to the latest version of the BIOS, installed all the drivers from Toshiba Support page material and installed the Toshiba value added package (PVAT) for Windows 7/Vista (64) v1.2.27_64 and nothing.
    I uninstalled PVAT and installed the new and nothing. I even tried with the Driver Support and registry Patch utility for devices and printers, and nothing yet.
    I even tried to "Restart flash card" solution with no result.

    Can someone help me please? I'm hopeless on this issue because I use the Fn keys a lot?
    THX

    Hello

    After the installation of value-added package, you also install the Flash Cards Support utility. Do a search on the Toshiba page for this tool.
    You can also search other models of laptops, but he must be released for Windows 7, I know that the old version for Vista will not work.

  • Satellite A350-13 function keys a Windows 7 64 bit does not

    Hello
    I upgraded my new laptop Vista Win7 64 bit, however the function keys do not work and the function keys that display at the top when you press FN doesn't show any more. I installed the utility and value added package but without success. Any help is apperciated.

    Note to the Toshiba team:
    Why don't you pack all the necessary drivers and software in one package after their test, based on the model of the computer in my case Satellite A350-13, for example you could make a package for another Win7x64 to Win7x32, etc., instead of letting spend US days to understand what to install and where to find them and if it will work or not. Waiting for your comments.

    Concerning
    SAHM

    Hello

    You must install the Flash Cards in addition to the VAP support utility!
    The utility Flash card support are in the area of Satellite L500 driver for example.
    After installation if Flash card support the utility unit is restarted once more and then check the functionality.

  • Re: Question on the Satellite A350-22Z GPS

    Hello

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A350-22Z. My GSP does not work. GPS Utility from Toshiba said GPS not supported, but I'm sure that I used my GPS on this computer. After that I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, I couldn't not do GPS works.

    I installed the drivers 3G and Toshiba Wireless Manager.
    But still I could not find the necessary driver/software.

    This who should I guess what to do?

    Thanks in advance...

    According to the specifications of the laptop this model has 3G and comes with Windows Vista 32 bit.
    I believe you that you have used the 3G with original OS because it contains Ericsson 3 G driver and Toshiba 3 G RF Control Utility.

    You will find download page to download both of them for Win7 on Toshiba?

  • Satellite A350 is no longer able to use the WLan

    Hello guys,.

    so... I started using Bluetooth earlier, use of the Internet via a cable... Today I tried to use my WLan again, but it did not work (worked well before).
    So I tried to activate it via FN + F8, but all I can see is activate Bluetooth, one for the WLan disappeared?
    The WiFi light only blinks when Bluetooth is activated. I would rather turn off Bluetooth that not being able to use the WLan.

    I think it's a similar problem

    but I really didn't want to install a bad driver or anything like that.

    I use a 32-bit Vista and my PC-Tool says that I use these networks currently (I just copy and pasted because honestly, I have no idea, hahaha).
    Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI - E Fast Ethernet NIC (NDIS 6.0) Version = 6.208.729.2008 MAC address = 00:23:5 A: 05:61:05
    Intel(r) WiFi Link 5100 AGN Version = 12.2.0.11 MAC address = 00:21:5 D: 62:D8:1 C

    I would be so happy if someone could help me fix the problem anytime soon, because I really need wireless capability soon. Thanks :)

    Former Satellite A350 was delivered origin with Vista OS, so at first I would like to know if you use original recovery image (OS) that you got with your laptop.
    If I understand you good WLAN card is installed and registered properly in Device Manager. Can you confirm this?

    I have Satellite A300 and a friend of my A350 but WLAn works properly on both machines so I m a bit confused why the WLAN option is missing when you use the FN + F8 key combination.
    I m wondering why WLAN is detected by the system but ignored by the utility of flash cards.

    I'm don't know if this will help, but try to follow:
    Enter the BIOS and set it to default settings
    Reseat the wireless network card.
    Reinstall the extra value package, and check again.

    If the problem persists after doing all this, you have to do a final check and reinstall the OS using original recovery image that you got with your laptop. It's a way more radical, but certainly more efficient to solve a software problem.

  • Re: Satellite A350 - PC Health Monitor or EcoUtility?

    Hello

    It is or will be like PC Health Monitor application or Toshiba Eco Utility for my laptop Toshiba Satellite A350-13? As an operating system I have Win7 64 bit.

    Thank you.

    Hello!

    Reason for which you want to install utility eco if it s is available for your laptop? I checked the page of download driver Toshiba Eco Utility is available for the A350 PSALWE series and not yours, which is model PSAL6E.

    Anyway, you can install PC Wizard 2009 for example. It shows you information such as temperature, voltages and so far. Test if you will be satisfied by this program and give us feedback! ;)

  • 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

  • Satellite A350-20J and Touchpad

    Hello! Is it possible to set the sensitivity of the touchpad on my laptop?
    I have a Satellite A350-20J (according to the label at the bottom of the laptop), a PSAL6E-04800GRU (from Toshiba utility to diagnoses). I bought this laptop in Moscow.
    It is already annoying to work with it because this touchpad is so sensitive that I'm always unintentionaly "of the clicks' here and there, sometimes with very undesirable effects.

    Another question:
    At the time I write this message I not was still able to find the exact model of my laptop in both English and Russian of Toshiba.

    1 + rest of the UK site, I can http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/home/ there is a link at the top left 'click here to find your laptop. Click on. A pop-up opens with 2 methods to locate my phone:
    1.1 - Select family, series, or model you are looking for: I chose "Series Satellite A350" then the next combo offers just A350-20s. This isn't mine!
    1.2 - enter the reference number you are looking for: I enter the number of the tag from my laptop, click on search and get one "part of entry number was not found.

    2 + ok, ok, I bought this computer in Moscow, maybe I need to go on the Russian site. I'm going, of course, everything is in Russian but no option to change the language to English (my mother tongue is not English or Russian). No problem. Navigate the site until http://ru.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/home/ and before you click on a link that says "D? D ° D¶D¼D¸N? DΜ D· D´DΜN? N?, N? N? D¾D±N? D½D ° D¹N? N D¸? D²D¾D¹ D½D¾N? N? D±N? Dº"(click here to find your laptop). A popup opens, but now with 3 ways to locate my phone.
    2.1 - requested for the partnumber opening. I enter the mine, but still get a not found.
    2.2 - a verification tool, kind of these ActiveX trying to detect my model, again without success.
    2.3 - select the family of series, etc... This time 11 models are available, but the mine is not among them. The closest is A350-22J. But not mine.

    Then, why is it not my laptop on those lists... ?

    Thank you:
    Judge Carlos Muro

    Hello Carlos

    At first, I must say that you can change the sensitivity of the touchpad. It can be done within the parameters of Synaptics.
    Please go to control panel > mouse > device settings tab > settings button > in the next window you will find the menu on the left and the last sensitivity option there.
    Try to change the touch sensitivity here.

    The whole story on the identification of the laptop model is interesting, but in the end I did not understand why is it so important to you.
    Everything you need to know is that you have model PSAL6E.

    With the help of this part number on the download page, you will be able to download good pilots and all the other stuff of Toshiba laptop.
    It will be very nice to know why is this identification so important to you.

  • Satellite A350-122 - how to install the second HARD drive?

    Hello

    I'm a french owner of an A350-122 (serial no: 39169719K)

    In the french of the manual user, page 1-5, it is written that it is possible to insert another disc hard, and on page 2-6, the rear of the A350-122 view shows a second branch on the left for a second hard drive.

    So, I bought an SSD Intel X 25-M to put in the second location. I opened the second location and there is nothing: no sata, no power connector connector, only a location empty.

    So, what's the problem with this Satellite A350-122?

    Thank you for your response.

    Hey Buddy,

    I agree with the user above. Not all Satellite A350 models support a second HDD. The point is that laptops are country specific products and this feature is not available everywhere. In addition, all models A350 by using the same notebook case in order to have a crack but no connector.

    In any case, you can use t a second HDD. :(

  • Satellite A350-13 a - function keys does not work

    I have the Satellite A350-13. I installed Windows 7 for 2 weeks.

    The function keys does not work although I have installed the Toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys.

    What the solution to this problem?

    > Function keys does not work although I have installed the toshiba value added package, which is responsible for the activation of the function keys

    Next to the VAP (value added package) you need to install the Flash Utility card support!
    Card Flash utility support controls the keys FN and not the VAP! But VAP is also needed.

  • Re: Gift of functions keyboard FN + F1/12 ' work on Satellite A350

    Hello

    I bought a new laptop Satellite A350 from 13 to about a year with a Win Vista Premium Home (Hungarian) operating system installed on it. It works beautifully.

    Not so long ago, I upgraded to Win 7/32 bit OS (Hungarian) and it seems that I've lost functions FN + F. If I push the FN button with any F key (for example. FN + F6) nothing happens. I can't disable the touchpad or (FN + F9).
    Only two features that reacts with the FN are numbers (FN + F11) and arrows (FN + F10).
    I already checked the Alps Pointing Device driver and it says it works correctly and up-to-date). I also read the Thread of NVIDIA, "Satellite A350 - cannot disable Touchpad post: 17 June 2009 22:11" but I became wiser. I'm probably too blonde for such things. (I would like to apologize in advance for blondes to this note).
    Could you please give me some suggestions.
    A quick response would be appreciated.

    Thank you very much.
    Best regards, surveys

    I agree with the user orevious;
    You need the VAP (value added package) and utility of Flash in order to get memory card Support the FN keys work correctly.

    As the VAP software and card Flash is not portable model bound, you can use the tools available to the other laptop models. for example, Satellite L500
