• Satellite A500 - 14L cannot recognize two USB ports

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite A500 - 14L three months ago, I've just updated the bios with this link , but after two USB ports (on the left side of the computer) do not work.

  I try to download the new driver for them, but without success.
  Do anyone now how can I solve this problem?

  Thank you and sorry for the English, I'm French...

  Hello

  What operating system do you use?
  Is - this Windows 7?

  How about USB port State in the Device Manager?
  Is there visible yellow exclamation points?

  In your case I would recommend to check if all the necessary drivers have been installed.
  For example the Chipset Utility must be installed. It is very important.
  There is also the USB Sleep and Charge utility USB Sleep and Charge utility. This utility is able to activate or disable the USB Sleep function and fresh. It shows the positions of the USB ports supporting USB Sleep and Charge function and shows the remaining capacity of the battery.

  Please check these applications!

  Hello

  It s depending on the games that you are running. The newest games will run better on Vista because they are optimized for this OS and you can get DirectX 10 on Vista.

  I think Windows 7 is a really good OS. I tested the beta version of it and I was happy. :)

• Satellite A500 - 15 h - keyboard backlight doesn't work anymore

  Hello @ all,

  After that install Win7 on my purchased new Satellite A500 - 15 h the backlight for the keyboard no longer works.
  I don't know if it worked before with vista... but if all goes well.

  Lighting is enabled in the Bios. Features (on F1 - F9) controlled by the Fn do not work as well as the tone that has been heard normally by using the function for lower keys / turn on the sound cannot be heard even if the sound signal is enabled in the BIOS.

  I hope someone can help
  Thanks in advance

  I have already installed value added package and updated BIOS.
  Under Linux, the keyboard is also not on.

  Hello

  First of all, you need to get the keys FN working again.
  To do this, you must install the VAP and the Toshiba Flash Cards support utility from the European driver Toshiba page.

  Regarding the backlight on the keyboard;

  Not all laptops are supported the backlight on the keyboard.
  You should check the Z button.
  If the Z button would contain a sign tiny keyboard then the laptop was equipped with backlight on the keypad and it should be possible to activate this using keys FN + Z combination.

  I have an A500 - 14L
  Recently, the LCD cable from the motherboard has started giving me (hardly the hindge)
  I need to put the screen in a certain position in others having the right picture on the LCD

  Where can I buy a new cable?
  PC bought in France (still have the warranty) but travel a lot and won't return soon.

  Someone else has the same problem?

  TKS

  Hi mate

  Are you sure that the cable is affected?
  Why you n t come into contact with a local ASP (Toshiba service partner)?
  I think that the guarantee of the A500 must still be valid since this laptop model is not very old

  In this case everything should be done for free.

• Satellite A500-19U - need help for games and the AC adapter / CC

  Heys guys.

  I got my new Satellite A500-19U and install games on it like COD4, assassin Creed, Batman, Mafia 2 .and much

  All of these games crashes & freezes after screen black or white, 3-5 Min & gimmea and this happenWHILE CONNECT the AC ADAPTER to charge the battery. While using the battery just fine, except some crashes after a long period of palying. Some time, he said (the display driver not responding) & sometimes the screen black or white. The only way to recover the laptop is ALT + CTRL + DELETE and wait until the game to recover & cases laptop stop responding & the only way is to hard reboot.

  The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

  SP please any help on this matter. I think it's a video driver or a Windows 7 problem. And the specifications are:

  Processor: Inter Core 2 Due P7450 2.13 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB DDR3
  VGA: Nvidia Geforce G210M with the driver from the Toshiba Site has also tested the latest driver from Nvidia Site Version: 258.96
  OS: Windows 7 64-bit [pre-installed]

  I think that its not big problem for Toshiba co.  :)

  Hi mate

  I think that it is a nuisance driver in most cases not entirely compatible graphics cards drivers are the reason why games dishes t working correctly.

  What to say; I think that the update of the driver is the key
  You will need to find a good driver version
  Toshiba pilot European page you can find the latest drivers published by Toshiba
  But this does not mean that these are the most recent drivers released by nVidia or ATI
  nVidia or ATI drivers are always different

  In order to check the drivers from nVidia page too.
  You can also try the version published on the Web site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com
  But note; These are not tested drivers and use is at your own risk!

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite Pro A300-1PW: keyboard is distorted and descends down to the left

  Hi all

  I really hope someone can advise me pretty quickly. I will explain why.
  I got a new laptop Satellite Pro A300-1PW this morning ready for a Christmas gift for my other half.
  During the inspection, the keyboard is distorted and descends down to the left on the left side.

  After running the Setup process and open Notepad, all keys seem to work and that there seems to be no flex in the keyboard, which almost seems to be made in this way.
  As a Christmas gift, I really want to give him the laptop if it is a manufacturing defect.
  Before I found this forum, I went and sent an email to the vendor to record the fault and possibly arrange for a replacement, but can someone please let me know if this is how this model is in fact.
  I know some might think I'm too worried, but the laptop to give me some money and I want to make sure that everything is, or is not very well.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  This problem, you can also specify with the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider. In my opinion, you should contact them and explain the situation. You might get a replacement keyboard.
