Satellite A500-026 - the speakers crackle

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone else has had problems with creaking speakers with their A500-026?

There seems to be some problems on the internet with other versions of the A500. This computer was shipped with Windows 7 and has always had problems with the Crackle of the speakers, and in particular with iTunes and Media player. Some people have apparently corrected this with driver updates, but NVidea State should not update to say or the present update of Toshiba.
Toshiba does know that there is a problem?

Should I just return the computer because it is pretty useless if the speakers do not really work! I only got it since November.

Any advice welcome.

    I swear that not more product Toshiba for me, also include my family and all my friends.

    Hello

    I have no idea of what has happened with your laptop, but according to your assignment, the laptop freezes even using HARD drive recovery.
    In your case it s recommended to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country. The laptop seems to be covered by the warranty that is why everything should be done for free.

    The ASP database in the world can be found here:

  • Satellite A500/026 No connection using LAN

    My Toshiba Satellite A500/026 is about a month and today I finally had the time to try to connect to the Internet. However, to plug the ethernet cable from my modem to the laptop, there is no Internet connection.

    I tried to connect the same cable on my Satellite Pro A300 and all right. If I'm missing something on my A500?

    Hello

    Are you sure that the internet connection is not blocked by a firewall or other security that is installed on your system software?
    Check it!

    In addition, you must check if the network card is working properly.
    The LAN driver must be installed and you should not see any yellow exclamation in device-> network cards Manager.

  • Satellite A500-026 - can't do anything that involes network

    I bought a Satellite A500-026 and just out of box.

    Can't do anything that involves networking, they all freeze or load in white, internet Explorer does not open to the top at all. I can't activate my firewall or antivirus on.
    Not to mention its quite slow for a new machine with a processor P8800 (my laptop 5yo is faster).

    Stuck

    Hi mate!

    Can you notice any other problems with the laptop or simply with the network connection? Furthermore, you hear a LAN or WLAN connection?

    What OS are you using and what 3rd party programs have installed you?

    In your case, I'll try to update the drivers and maybe a laptop recovery facility. You should try it with factory settings (preinstalled OS from Toshiba).

  • Missing Audio device (Microphone) on the Satellite A500-026 (PSAR2A 026002)

    Hello list!

    I have a laptop A500-026 Toshiba for presentations (via overhead projector) and internet communications (Skype, etc.).

    At a recent presentation, I was using the internal speakers of the place (plug in the line-out jack on my A500), but to receive a feedback from my microphone, I had used successfully in my Skype (using the built-in webcam and microphone on the A500). I tried all the solutions to cut the microphone (by selecting RIGHT click the speaker icon - recording devices do not seem to cut the Microphone) and finally the pressure and the stress of the situation too rolled my given what I was actually doing.

    Now, I don't have ANY "recording devices" AKA Microphones on the system, and I spent the last 4 days trying to reinstall the built-in microphone. I reinstalled the RealTek drivers, but there is still none identified microphone.

    All help to restore the built-in microphone of A500 would be accepted with gratitude!

    Megan in Sydney

    Hello

    You should check if the microphone has not been disabled.

    Go to control panel of-> sound-> recording tab
    You need to right click and must enable both options called hidden devices and see the disabled devices.
    Now you should see 2 microphone inputs; a second and internal microphone should belong to the external microphone jack.

    If you want to use the internal microphone and then mark it as a default device.

    See you soon

  • Problems with the sound function and scrolling on the touchpad on my Satellite A500/026

    Hello

    I just brought a new laptop A500/026 and when I play music from my ipod I get a little static pop sound at regular intervals during the song... this happens on all my music. I accidentally scroll horizontally through my touhpad and my screen minimizes or maximizes. I try to find how I did it, but can never seem to return to its normal state. There is obviously some sort of function here, can someone help me with it? I installed the x 64 bit version of windows 7.

    Thank you

    Eddie

    Hello

    The touchpad settings are placed in Control Panel-> mouse
    You can find the additional tab which would be you can access touchpad properties.

    As I know the touchpad properties contains many different options that allows you to configure the scrolling function, to activate and assign different actions to the touchpad corners, etc.

  • Satellite A500 - on the screen and the volume of media keys control the normal behavior

    Hello

    On my laptop Satellite A500, I have no screen 'volume bar' when I use the media keys of volume (located between the speakers). I find this odd, like many other phones that I use (including the Toshiba) have this feature. In addition, the volume bar between the - and + media symbols of the keys never lights upward.
    Could someone please confirm that those are normal behaviour? (Note that my Fn keys, utility eco work and so on).

    Records,

    ARAMYS

    Aramys salvation,
    I don't know if this is normal (showing no volume bar on screen)
    but as I read your message just the funktion is ok...

    Maybe you need to reinstall + keys +.
    Maybe some pictures are corrupted and therefore not included...

  • Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

    All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

    Hey,.

    If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
    In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

    See also this article from Toshiba:
    [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

    Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

  • Satellite A500 loses the same battery power is OFF

    Satellite A500/01mhnx model.
    When I load completely to max and let that stop you it completely, after about 4 days, it says only about 2% of the available power.
    Is this normal because it is a new unit?

    All opinions and comments welcome.

    To be honest, it is not normal for me.
    Maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer.
    Explain the situation and allow to check the battery.

  • Satellite A500/026: problems in streaming/watch online videos

    Hello

    I didn't know where to ask for help, so I thought start id here since I just bought my Toshiba A500/026

    basically im having problem watching/streaming videos online. regardless of the source of the video, youtube, megavideo, veoh. the problem is that I have to wait as the entire video to load and then it starts to play. I can't look at it that it broadcasts.

    It don't tell me his load, it shows just a black screen and then all of a sudden it goes to show that the bar is full and video starts, now it is on short vids because it does not take long, but for movies, it fails generally as they take too much time to load the site will usually come with a mistake.

    Now Ive got to look on the web and I can't find this problem else where, ive checked that I have the last abode flash installed and driver debugging. usually, I use firefox, but im getting the same problem on IE.

    any help would be approeciated.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Satellite A500-026 overheats and stops during the game

    Hey guys, any help would be appreciated.

    My 026 has recently started to overheat and stopping at random during video games. I can't even run TF2 to learn more, then one hour unless he suddenly died on me. It is never used for this months of use.

    I can assume there is a problem with my video card. I tried to download drivers to Toshibas site and the latest versions of Nvidia without change. I've already booked a Mobilecare service, I wanted to just evaluate what might be the possible problems.

    Hello

    Maybe this problem of high temperature of s.
    High temperature causes a closing down in order to protect the equipment against damage.
    But the question is why the temperature increases to critical level?
    One of the reasons could be a page nvidia graphics card driver. Such driver does contain protection against overheating. Therefore, use the driver of Toshiba page.
    I see that you did
    Well, the laptop seems to be a new a .so usually dust should not be a problem and fans should work properly

    A tip; Please make sure that you have enough free space around the laptop to ensure good air circulation.

    However, I recommend asking an ASP in your country for verification may be what he s hardware related issue.

  • A new Satellite A500/026, but I want Windows XP

    J just bought a new A500 and I think its just great the only problem is that I don't like windows 7.
    I want to go back to windows xp.

    Can I do this and retains all the features of toshiba?

    Hello

    If you want to use Win XP, then you need to install Win XP using the MS Windows XP clean CD.
    But the fact is that Win XP are not available for A500 because it is a new machine and new laptops come preinstalled with the latest Windows 7.

    You will need to search drivers Win XP at your own hand and you will not be able to use all the tools preinstalled by Toshiba, these tools are available only on the image of Toshiba and are not ready for download.
