• 3G modem internal with slot for Satellite A500-12W SIM?

  I join this forumn in great frustration because I spent hours online looking for an answer.

  I run a Satellite A500-12W with a USB 3G modem, but I do not have this fragile thing that comes out of the computer and occupying one of the only 3 USB ports. Under the battery, there is a slot that says SIM, but it seems to be empty, because it cannot contain a SIM in place.

  I don't have a 3g internal modem, I have WIFI capabilities.
  Surely, it must be possible to buy a card that goes inside and works the same way as a USB modem?

  There is an empty slot next locations of memory which says 3 G/TV and something else, is that place and in that case, what should I buy?

  I am eternally grateful for any help, it frustrates me a lot. Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Satellite A500-12W does not support the 3G modem and was not equipped with an ability to use the sim card in order to connect to the internet.

  The point is that there are different A500 in the market with different hardware configurations.
  Perhaps the same notebook chassis has been used and, therefore, you can see this place to a sim card.

  However, I'm not sure if you will be able to update this device with a mini-PCI 3 G map... If something like that would be possible, so you can order this part of premises Toshiba ASP...

• Satellite 2430-S255 turns off during playback of video clips

  My laptop Toshiba Satellite 2430-s255 turns off 5 minutes every time I play streaming video clips to web sites using Windows Media Player version 10.0. I have uninstall the version 10 and used version 9, but there is no difference. Computer has 512 meg of memory and 10 GB of additional space on the hard drive.

  There is no problem when I play DVD using the same software.

  Toshiba support has been telling me that cpu is working hard and it heats up because of this problem. I used the fan to circulate the air, but the computer still shuts off.

  Can help.

  HI Fanny,.

  Any graphic activity will tend to make your laptop run more hot and therefore sufficient cooling.

  Make sure that your airway through the CPU radiator is not clogged with dust and debris (a lot of discussions in this forum about this) and also ensure that there is sufficient air under your laptop knife get in the fan air vents.

• Satellite A60-122 turns off immediately

  Hi there, my 2.5 year satellite SA60-122 turns off no aparent reason.

  Hello

  you are somewhat familiar with computers? If not, I suggest you bring your machine to a local service partner (http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?subs=tais)
  If Yes, then firstly make a few hardwaretests. You can make them with tools like "Memtest86" for memory or "Prime95" for CPU and RAM.
  This software is on a windows live cd for computer-maintenance as the UBCD4Win (Ultimate Boot CD for Windows) which contains a lot of useful tools and diagnostic programs.
  Here´s a link:
  www.UBCD4Win.com

  Other means can be:
  Clean the CPU fan, try to remove the RAM (maybe), maybe the power adapter is defective or maybe the battery.
  It s a little more difficult to find these things, but often it s really good to use this live-cd-system and check the system.

  So, try it (or not :)) and give some information about what happened, maybe to give more detailed information about the behavior of the machine.)

• My Satellite L555-L11 turns off suddenly very

  Hello
  My satellite L555 L11 turns off very suddenly. It seems that it s because of the heat, as when it arrives, I put my hand under the laptop and feel a too high temperature.
  my laptop is 5 years
  What should I do?
  thx for you answer

  I think your laptop is quite full of dust and I can imagine that cooling rack is blocked so that your laptop is unable to catch his breath.

  Believe me, that cleaning can help. Best thing you can do is professional cleaning. In this case the laptop must be disassembled. Otherwise, you can buy compressed air and try to clean it.

• Satellite A500-148 turns on but does not start

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A500-148 from a friend who asked me to take a peek, it turns on, but does boot when I press the following power button occurs:
  -The power button and the charger are on and the hdd led only flashes once
  -The fan comes on for about 3 seconds
  -No image on the screen, I indicated a light against it, but there is really no image

  Tried to reset by pressing the button for 30 seconds without the changer is plugged.

  I disassembled it and noticed that this laptop has an external video card, so my question is, who's broken the video card or the motherboard.

  Thank you

  To be honest I don't understand this with an external video card. Can you describe how you mean exactly?
  In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis. You can try the little test and remove this external adapter, RAM and HARD disk, and try to start again.

  Ask your friend if he had something that may be responsible for this.

  One last thing: laptop stays in r might have turned off after a certain time?

• Satellite Pro L650 turns off after start; DC In and Power LEDs blink on stop

  A friend Satellite Pro L650 having worked well until yesterday, all of a sudden turned itself off. Now, at startup, it lights up normally for about 10-15 seconds before turning off suddenly. Turned off, the DC in white/blue LED and the orange Power LED Flash on a broad set of intervals of approximately one second. This extinction happens if I leave Windows or press F2 to enter the BIOS setup.

  I guess this blinking is intended to serve as a kind of diagnostic code, but I have yet to track down what it means. Can anyone help?

  To avoid confusion, power without the product stack the same, sudden stop experience, except the two LEDs remain solidly lit this time. With or without battery, trying to turn on again immediately after that a shutdown produced no response at all. Remove the power cable and immediately it reconnect again and turn then produced a brutal power off, but in less than 5 seconds. More wait between attempts to market seems to give a little longer powered on State, but without fault, the machine turns off just suddenly. With its short time 'turned on' we are talking, there cannot be any kind of thermal protection?

  I had an old Satellite L450D lying around that uses coincidentally the same AC PA-1750 adapter, but use it made no difference. Of course, the battery does not have the L650!

  The only previous numbers, that I am aware of this machine have been intermittent case of Windows reporting "Plugged in, not charging", but as my friend use it exclusively on the network, it was not a problem.

  Your thoughts will be greatly appreciated...

  WTF?

  What is an unmoderated forum?

  Can someone help with my problem?

• Satellite M200 screen turns off after that start & battery does not charge

  Hello, I am from Jakarta, Indonesia
  I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite M200 Notebook (running Windows 7 Home Premium)

  After I press the power button to the top of my laptop, it works fine display BIOS and Windows startup screen.
  but after that my monitor off all of a sudden when Windows is supposed to show the login screen.

  Sometimes, the monitor doesn't turn off, but shows a lower resolution (I don't know exactly what resolution, 1024 x 768 or 800 x 600, i use maybe 1280 x 800)
  so the only thing I can do is, press the power button to stop bad then press power again turns on, my monitor works normally
  try to stop and then turn on again in a few hours later, problems still comes once.

  from the moment where I install Windows 7, I use 8.15.10.1930 version of the driver (downloaded from Download Center of Intel, which included Assistant TV Intel)
  2 days ago, my friend told me that I should install the driver from the Toshiba site support, so I went to csd.toshiba.com and download the 8.15.10.1825 version of this site (which is not included Assistant TV Intel)

  my monitor works normally after I installed the driver I of csd.toshiba.com, so I think that the problem because the Intel TV Wizard somehow messed with my laptop. But this morning this problem once again, my turns just monitor suddenly...

  In addition, this problem seems to be my battery was unable to recharge, my completely reloaded Windows shows, but when I plugged my AC adapter,
  There are 15-20 minutes before my laptop turns off automatically

  Three months ago, I just brought my laptop to the local Service Center of Toshiba and bought the new motherboard to replace my old mobo (which have a VGA problem too!)
  Is there something I can do (related to Windows or driver/software) or I can bring my notebook at the center of service again?
  are they somehow an incorrect wiring when replacing my motherboard?
  and am I need to replace my battery too?

  I use this laptop for about a year and a half and there is nothing wrong with my battery before replacing the motherboard

  any help would be appreciated :D

  Hello

  Talk about your screen, the a graphics driver causes this malfunction with resolution and turn off. Go to the page of the toshiba driver and download the correct Vga driver for your model. I see, you are running Windows 7, if there is no driver for win7, try the vista driver.
  On your power supply, you have used for the year and a half and he is released in 20 minutes, there is nothing strange. It's standard for power supply operating period, need to be replaced. Just to be sure, you can check with a new battery. You will see that the trick works as expected.

• Satellite Pro 6100 turns off when I connect the power adapter

  Satellite pro 6100 works well up to this I put AC adapter / CC, then turns it self
  Any ideas would be appreciated

  see you soon

  Hello

  You use original Toshiba AC/DC adapter or another?
  What happens if you connect the AC/DC adapter, while the laptop is turned off?

  It s really strange problem, but I think that is s TI associated with AC/DC adapter or the motherboard itself

• Satellite A75 impromptu turning-off (Help!)

  Hello!
  Well, I own a Toshiba Satellite A75-S2112 old of almost 4 months.
  I bought in the States and moved to Germany, to go to College. So the thing is, my laptop started to turn self about 1 half a month... at this time, was not on a regular basis and well, I decided to ignore it, because it seems to have stopped once I turned off and leave my computer laptop "rest."

  But since 2 days ago, the problem is really big. It will be just off; just like that. I thought it might be a horse of Troy, a virus or something, but it is even off the power during Windows startup - just by displaying the "Microsoft Windows XP" logo.

  So, what guys do you think it could be? And can it be resolved? It will be as a replacement for laptop, or it'll just be fixed? If Yes, what should I do and where should I apply / send it in Germany?

  I'm really worried, because I'm in a foreign country, and I don't know how to get it fixed here. And my laptop is essential during my course of study :(

  I have the same time, I'll try to save all my info.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this!

  Best regards

  Hi Pierre,.

  After reading the description of your problem, my first thought is that your laptop is overheating. A thermal trigger will work if it detects that the CPU is not too hot. This will cause the cell to lose power instantly, i.e. no controlled stop.

  I would recommend to clear any dust and accumulated debris from the heatsink to the CPU. Given that your unit is still under warranty, I will try to use a vacuum to suck up dust out through the suction fan grids. There are a lot of threads about this problem on this forum.

  If this not solves your problem, do not try to disassemble the radiator yourself, as this would negate your warranty.

  You can find your nearest Toshiba approved repairman since Toshiba Germany website:

  http://www.Toshiba.de/index.asp

  Finally, make sure that your laptop is always placed so that sufficient air can get into the ventilation system. Indeed, don't put it on your lap or on a soft surface (carpet or upholstery).

  Good luck

• Satellite M40x-250 turns off without warning

  HII everyone,

  Hope you guys can help me. I have an old Toshiba Notebook (Satellite M40x-250).

  I don't know how old exactly, but I think around 4 or 5 years. Ive never had any problem with it, but now its weird action. Recently, I was typing something and suddenly it just turned itself off.

  I waited about five minutes before I restarted and it worked perfectly again.
  Same thing just happened half an hour ago.

  Now his works once again, with no loss of information.
  My laptop is just getting old, or would be - this other problem that could be solved?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  In my eyes it s typical overheating problem
  As you say it s a laptop plus age (4 to 5 years) and I suppose that the cooling fans have not been cleaned since the first day
  I think that there is a lot of dust and debris that prevents the cooling modules to work with maximum efficiency, this can lead to a higher temperature and shut downs.

  The laptop turns off automatically to prevent the equipment from damage
  Clean the fan using a jet of compressed air! In from time to time, and it helps!

• Satellite A200 - screen turns off without reason

  I have a Satellite A200-E530D on Windows Vista Home Premium. For a month, I had something strange happening on my computer, shortly after the start, the screen turns off. without good reason! the only option I have is hard to system boot and everythings... Although a few times after the restart he still went.

  I tried to upgrade to the last poster of drivers (I have an Nvidia Geforce Graphics card 7300 Go with 128 MB of VRAM)

  Another weird thing, Vista SP1 does not install on my machine. tried to uninstall my Anti virus, but that did not help either one.

  Can anyone shed light on my dark screen?

  Hello!

  You have the same problem on an external monitor?
  I m not sure if it s a display problem, mother or software card

  Do you have what display driver installed? You have downloaded the driver from the Web from Toshiba site?

• Satellite A100 - monitor turns off after reboot

  Toshiba Satellite A100 (model PSAA8) chipset Intel

  Hey mate,

  If you have the same problem on an external monitor I think that it s related to the motherboard or something else. He should t be a problem of the internal screen I think

  It's really hard to say something about it, but you can try to update the display driver and BIOS. The two you can find on the Toshiba site.
  Check it!

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what operating system you are using. Operating system preinstalled Toshiba?

• Satellite A60-712 - turn off after 2-3 seconds

  Hello everyone.

  I am trying to fix this Satellite A60-712; He came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible and it seems to work: CC in LED lights up and the battery starts to charge.

  My problem is that this starts Mobile for awhile, radiator begins to turn, all the lights are normally, but, all of a sudden everything turns off after 2-3 seconds. I have observed that this machine has only one slot of free RAM and noted that it has integrated the module memory motherboard; that would be the problem? Or another reason?

  Could someone help me?
  Thank you.

  Hello

  > it came to me without feeder, but I found a compatible
  Can you please test it with a Toshiba original AC/DC adapter? The same thing is happening?

  If the laptop has already integrated memory motherboard there is no problem. Alternatively, you can use the laptop without additional RAM module.

  In the worst cases, you need professional help of an authorized service provider. :(
