• Satellite A500-138 'unknown device' in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I am the owner of a Satellite A500-138 - Part Number: PSAM3E - 013014H 2.
  I just finished the upgrade of the o/s from the horrible vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Update was smooth. Drivers and utilities were easily on your website and install it correctly. Almost everything seems to beworking OK...
  I find myself with 2 numbers:

  1. the watch still an "unknown device" Device Manager
  Details of the device shows hardware IDs of ACPI/ENE0200 and * ENE0200
  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! :)

• 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 - 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.

• Satellite A500-138 - battery gets smaller when it is off

  Hello!

  I recently bought the A500-138 and I noticed that if the computer turns off for more than half a day the battery power is lower.
  For example, after 2 days when the computer does not work at all the battery starts to 88%.

  It it normal or there is a problem with the battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  I n t have any new Satellite A500, but on my Satellite A300, I got the same problem battery gets low when it was off.

  After searching a bit here in the forum, I founded that I disable the Wake-On-LAN feature in the BIOS. In addition, I recommend disabling the function USB Sleep & Charge you can find also in the BIOS.

  It works for you too?

  Good bye

• Satellite A500 - switch WLAN and the FN keys does not turn the wireless

  I have currently problems try to activate the connection Wireless on my laptop. My laptop model is a satellite A500 PSAR9A O2J001. My laptop's physical wireless switch does not work and neither my Fn keys don't work (none of my function keys work not at all). It was awhile I saw an orange light next to my mobile switch indicating it was on, but one day, it's just off. Since then, I was not able to reactivate it after a lot of searching on Google, and this place is my last resort after doing so many things.

  Any help or comments would be appreciated, I am very desperate to solve this problem for studies.

  Your description is OK but rather general isn't easy to say with certainty what the problem is here.
  Is the card properly installed wireless (Device Manager)?
  FN keys work in general? You can use other keys FN + Fx? You see flash cards when you press the FN key? If so what options you see when you use FN + F8 (WLAN I think)?

  When you move position WLAN communication works and use the FN + F8 to what exactly happens?

  Anyone know what that improvements and is it advisable to always do a BIOS update when a new one comes out?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Normally the changelog of the BIOS is placed on the Toshiba laptop, but if you can t find it, unfortunately there is no available changelog.
  By the way: I noticed that the BIOS changelogs are often placed on the Toshiba page we. Maybe you can find it there.

  And this update should be carried out only if it of really necessary. If you n t have any problems, to forget about this update.
  Never touch a running system! ;)

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• Satellite A500 - nothing appears on the screen of laptop

  My laptop is a Satellite A500 and I had for about a year and a half, he has never dropped or slammed, and up to this point, it worked correctly, most of the time.

  One night, I unplugged and turned it off and the next morning, the display would not work. There was no flicker and the display had never before gone so far here. Curiously, some of the LEDs on the laptop keyboard area stopped work as well, such as the light touch pad, the volume key, etc..
  However, the webcam and power/network lights still work. In addition to these problems, everything still works and I can still use an external monitor, such as a monitor.

  Based on these details, does anyone have an idea as to what is the problem? Or how I should go about fixing it?

  If there is no reaction on the screen there must be a problem with the LCD connection to the motherboard.

  Without accurate diagnosis, it is not easy to say exactly, what may be defective. Fact is that all these symptoms say there must be a hardware problem and you should clear it with Toshiba service.

  Warranty is still valid?

• Satellite A500 - Toshiba tools after the new installation of Windows 7

  Hi I was wondering if my applications which have been pre installed on my Toshiba Satellite A500 would transfer through on a custom Windows 7 Setup.

  I did an upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium, but I want to do a full installation of Windows 7 because I believe that upgrade does not work as good as a full operating system installation.

  I know, if you perform a complete installation, that everything will be wiped on local disk C:, and you have to reinstall all the drivers/application.

• Satellite A500 - how to reinstall the original Windows 7?

  Hello

  I bought the Toshiba Satellite A500-19U and Windows 7. I tried to create a new partition, then I've done assets so he hid, after restarting the laptop, I had a black screen and massage (bootmgr is missing)

  So I installed another copy of Windows 7 just to connect to my computer. Then after the copy of Windows 7 installation I made inactive D if it appeared there is file recovery. So my question is: as long as I have this file I want to reinstall the original Windows 7 I have in the drive hard, but how?

  When I press F and repair, then it does not give the last option of HARD drive recovery! Why and I have the recovery file?

  Please help me

  Hello

  I guess you didn't read the manual user, first of all. I m right? ;)

  Well, normally HARD drive recovery you can start if you go into the advanced boot menu (F8) and select Repair my computer. After that, you can choose the option of HARD drive recovery.

  But I guess that this isn't possible anymore because you have installed another copy of Windows 7. If this menu isn't available anymore.

  The only option to restore factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disc. Did you create it? This can be through with preinstalled creative drive recovery Toshiba but if you didn t create it, it s too late now, too.

  The only option now is to order a new drive Toshiba Recovery directly. So take a look in your user manual.

• Satellite A500-1 - What is the maximum capacity of the HARD drive

  Hello

  I have to re - install the factory installed Win 7 on my Satellite A500-1 because I'm not able to install SP1.
  The cause is that inside Win 7 product information is missing.

  With regard to what I like to install a new HARD disk with more capacity (400 gb current).

  What HARD drive I can install and what is the maximum capacity (1 TB, 750 GB)?

  BIOS is updated.

  Any advice is welcome.

  Hello

  To my knowledge, there is no limitation of the capacity of the HARD disk since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support over 400GB.

  On this virtual path, it is not possible to say with certainty what the problem is, but I assume that the display may be defective.

  For testing purposes, you can connect external monitor to your laptop to see if everything is OK there.
  Anyway, what you need to do is contact the closest service Toshiba and let check your laptop.
