• Satellite A500-1GL - battery goes down when it is turned off

  Is it normal for the battery to run down, even when the laptop is turned off?

  I had the laptop a month now and notice that when I have a fully charged battery when I turn off, down to almost 90% in 1 day when I turn it on back.
  Its worse still when I leave it a few days.
  Is this normal - I would have expected the battery to keep better workload.

  Hi RICKOSHAY.

  It of a perfectly normal behavior that the battery is run down while the laptop is turned off. For example, I lose 3-4% battery all night.

  10% during the night is a bit too high, so you have to disable in the BIOS options posted by Akuma. I did the same thing on my laptop and it improves the fully charged battery. :)

  Got a Toshiba Satellite A500-138 and it get hot in the left side of the touch pad.

  Hi atmo.

  Well, I think that some some areas on the laptop are always a bit warmer than other regions. I think that it s according to the hardware parts where is the cooling module and find CPU, graphics card, and chipset.

  You have problems? She is turned off without warning?

  What you can do is try to clean the cooling system using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans:

  Access the BIOS and disable options like: wake-up on LAN and keyboard.
  In Toshiba HW Setup I should disable the USB Sleep and Charge feature as well

  What is this and where can I find the driver?

  2. I can't find the Manager of LAN/WLAN cool utility that came with vista.

  Thanks in advance,

  Hi friend,

  Have you checked the device ID and the unknown device provider? You can check in the properties of the device.
  Maybe it s Bluetooth adapter if your laptop is equipped with such a

  Regarding the WLAN tool, I think you mean ConfigFree. You can download it on the Toshiba site. Maybe the version of Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Good luck! :)

• The size of the pie gets smaller when I send the page

  Hello

  I have a

  1 Shuttle

  Table 2 columns

  3 and Camembert

  on the same page, the histogram is driven by the values that are selected on the shuttle and when I select anything from the shuttle to the right side of the page is submitted. Now the pie chart is also redrawn according to the value selected in the shuttle.

  But pie gets smaller when there are more 3-4, selected items on the shuttle.

  I don't know how to keep the size of the pie chart.

  Advanced thank you for your help.

  Thank you

  Rakesh

  If the area gets smaller you can try adding: style = "width: 700px;" or something similar for the attributes of the region.

  If you are referring to the actual piechart try remove the tags / values of the attributes of table and see if it helps. It could be that adding labels more will decrease the size to accommodate for the printing of labels.

• Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

  Hello.

  I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

  The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

  I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

  I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

  I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

  If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

  I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

  Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

  Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

  Hello

  He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
  I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
  Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

  I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
  You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

  Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
  I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
  So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|

• Satellite A500 questions (graphics Card freezes when games)

  Hi everyone hope you can help!

  I recently bought my Satellite laptop A500 and I have 2 numbers extremley bad!

  First apparently there is no my model number is PSAM3A-04100E, which turns out to be a Royal in the preverbial right pain when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!

  Second is my major problem,.
  I do a lot of games (sims 3, Callof Duty this kind of thing...) and every time I play I think that wow is the great great great fps and then FREEZE graphics! my summer completely computer hangs and stops without warning signs of lag slowing down or anything like that, and she is constantly!
  I was wondering if anyone else suffers from this problem or if I wait must search for a driver update I searched around but can't seem to find it anywhere.
  I really don't want to take it back to the shop because then I won't have a computer for weeks!

  Any help would be appreciated massively,
  Thank you very much

  Tasman

  > PSAM3A-04100E
  Where you bought your laptop? What is the country of purchase?
  New Zealand, perhaps?
  Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your model of laptop there but I can see the Win7 drivers are not available for the moment.

  Next week, I'll get my Satellite A500 and I'll test with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
  In any case before starting the game stop all unnecessary running process and define the plan of power at full power. Make sure also your laptop can catch its breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Replace also side of your notebook computer on two CD boxes having a greater distance between the laptop and the desktop.

  I hope that everything will be working well.

• Satellite A500 - 138 (PSAM3E) - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello guys.

  I decided to upgrade the HARD drive in my Toshiba A500-138 1 - years, (PSAM3E). Now, I have 400 GB HARD drive and would like to have 1 TB - Toshiba MK1059GSM to be precise. The only thing that prevents me to order it now, is that this HARD drive is 12.5 mm high, while my old 400 GB is 9.5 mm (that you can consider as standard).

  Don't you think it would fit in the A500 chasis? Perhaps someone did a similar upgrade in the past?

  One last thing - Toshiba A500 will be same recognize the HARD drive? I think that 1 - year, laptop should not have a problem with it, but I could be wrong.

  Any help and suggestions would be very appreciated :)

  Kind regards.

  I had the same situation on my old Satellite A300 and I can say that you can use the two HDD. It doesn t matter what the hard top. You can use both of them.

  I assume that you are the first one here on this forum with these updates and it will be nice to hear your personal experience, but I think that the new HARD drive should be recognized correctly on this new model of laptop.
