  Thank you much in advance. I would appreciate your contribution.

  FB.

  I googled around and found many forums where people discuss about this, and it probably has something to do with the graphics card.
  Maybe you should back up all your important data and install the operating system using recovery disc HARD (F8) option. Test a few days without having to install additional software.

  If the problem recurs, maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

• Satellite A500 - 18Q - screen freezes and BSOD appears the screen

  I bought my computer 3 weeks ago and I have a problem.
  My computer froze or displays the blue screen. It happens randomly, without having to open any program.

  Sometimes half an hour or an hour later as I start my computer or nothing happens.
  I have windows 7 home.

  I need help

  Hmm BSODS can happen thanks to a software or hardware problem and therefore it is difficult to say what could cause this.
  The A500 seems to be a new model of laptop and I doubt that the dust could be the reason for the temperature more high which could cause the BSOD.
  However, you should check if the cooling modules are free of dust and it might be useful to clean using the can of compressed air.

  In addition, you should check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If this isn't the case,-> to update this!

• Satellite A500-13W - after update BIOS the FN buttons do not work

  Yesterday I updated my Bios of my laptop to 1.50. After that the FN buttons no longer works. Can someone help me? ^ ^

  Sorry for my bad English

  Hello

  You have installed the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop?

  Features of FN buttons are normally not depending on the version of the BIOS. So, you need Toshiba value added Package and utility tools to Support Flash Cards. Then I recommend to reinstall two of them.

  You can download it here:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Remove all older versions first. Reboot then install VAP and finally Flash Cards Support utility.

• The BIOS on Satellite A500 - 18Q recovery procedure?

  Hello!

  I tried updating the BIOS to improve the performance of the laptop but the update was corrupted and now the laptop will not boot.
  Can you help me to recover the bios?

  Thank you much in advance.

  > I tried updating the BIOS to improve the performance of the laptop but the update was corrupted and now the laptop will not boot.

  In this case, you will need to contact a local ASP.
  The ASP technician will be able to refresh the BIOS with crisis BIOS disk.
  You can do this because this drives and trad-BIOS update is available only for the technicians of the ASP only :(

  I know, you must install value add package first and then Flash utility of the card holder.
  Try restarting Flash cards.

  After doing this press FN button several times.

• Satellite A500 emit after bios update 1.50

  Hey guys and girls,

  I have some problems after the update of the bios. Before the update my laptop has been the scene of much smoother and everything was fine and dandy until Tempro told me to update my bios. The problem is that after the update, the temperature seems to be considerably higher as usual when I play the game (I am a gamer) and also all the games I play seems to be much slower than before (lower, gal frame rate). Before the update I could play Dragon Age Origins with 1366 x 768 with 4 x anti-aliasing and the only one that I could get the same performance with the graphic parameter above is on 800 x 600. Now, it is certainly a big problem for someone who is a graphics junkie when it comes to games.

  * What do you think I should do? *

  A. downgrade my bios for when I bought everything first? (I don't know what version of bios is if anyone knows the stock bios?)
  B. perform HARD drive recovery?
  C. clean install of Windows 7 64-bit?

  My laptop computer spec:

  Model name: Satellite A500
  Part number: PSAR3E-00N005EN
  Serial number: X9206227K
  OS version: Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium edition
  BIOS version: 1.50
  Physical memory: 4096MB RAM
  Graphics card: NVIDIA Geforce GT 230 M

  Any help with this is greatly appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think you had a version of BIOS 1.30
  In older versions of the BIOS update are not available on the Toshiba driver download page. Only ASP (partner) has access to these early BIOS versions

  In any case, I found an interesting thread:

  Not sure if it could be useful but check

  PS; the graphics card driver update is a good idea it too check

• Satellite A500 boot UEFI/legacy option - request for update of the BIOS-

  I am the proud owner of a Satellite A500 PSAR9A - 02S 001
  I was very happy with it over the years.

  However, when you try to dual boot, I use in all sorts of problems.

  I really need uefi/legacy startup options to be unlocked in the bios menu
  I think that this feature is present
  However there is no options to configure in bios, please release an update for this.

  Please, I beg you.

  It would help me a lot.
  Not too much talk of what all the other hidden settings in the bios u could also unlock.
  I'd appreciate any help in this

  Post edited by: Bigwheels

  As far as I know, Toshiba offers a few changes of BIOS options and is not also a part of the BIOS updates.

  What kind of problems you have with dual boot?
  What is preinstalled on your computer? Post please some info on exact OS install.

• Satellite A500 - update BIOS with dead battery

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite A500 (PSAR3E) laptop and I need to update the BIOS to the latest version.
  Unfortunately, my battery died completely, and I have no chance to get a working one.

  I was trying to update the bios all day, but no matter how I try (even created a boot back drive and took command line phlash16, /forceit and so on) it keeps telling me that he needs at least 10% charged battery present.

  How can this problem be solved?

  > If I remove the battery, engine update fails, say there is no battery present, if I fix the battery, then update will fail saying the battery must be at least 10% - but he died, this percentage is 0.
  And you write about original Win version that you have downloaded from the Toshiba BIOS download page and started in Windows?

  To be honest is unclear to me that there is a trick to avoid this situation.
  Maybe something stupid, but now, do you really need to install the update to the BIOS?
  Is there a problem with your machine?

• After BIOS update Intel speed step does not not on Satellite A500

  I upgraded my Satellite A500 PSAM3E model to the most recent BIOS 1.50, now the Intel speed step does not!

  My CPU is always 2 GHz +, I have chagned power Plan to balanced, but no change... with precedent the CPU was about 800 MHz.
  When I try to change the Windows 7 power management and set the maximum CPU at 50 or 80% performance, the system hangs.

  Hey Szaby59,

  What older BIOS version were you using before update to 1.50?

  I also use maximum CPU performance option for ecomode (50%), but it does not work properly.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if use you your own Windows installation or factory settings. Normally, after using the Toshiba Recovery disk you don t have install Toshiba tools more. Everything is preinstalled on your laptop.

• Re: Is updated to Bluetooth on Satellite A500-19N possible?

  Hello
  is it possible to upgrade my A500-19N with Bluetooth?
  I have a USB Bluetooth dongle, but I am not satisfied by this configuration.
  So I was wondering is it possible to upgrade my laptop, as of many other satellite a500s have BT

  Kind regards

  I don't think that anyone here can give you a definitive answer.
  Generally these updates is not easy because the laptop must be disassembled; BT antenna on the right place (behind the screen) and the cable must be positioned on the right place.
  The question is also whether the motherboard on your A500 has prepared for the upgrade of BT.

  I fear for all that you need professional help and if someone can help on this subject, as Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.
