• Satellite A500-1CO - loss of data after system restore

  Hi all, because the system was slow I decided to restore the system using the DVD of restoration system (1,2). The problem is that I have not saved anything from drive D, and after the restore, all files have been deleted. My logic was unaware that the restoration apply to drive C (system disk) and let the D drive as it is, but I was so wrong.

  Is there a way to recover all or part of the lost data?

  Please help me. Thank you.

  Hi mate

  Unfortunately, I think that there is not much to do now.
  Recovery DVD redefines the laptop to factory settings and, therefore, this disc format the whole HARD disk and also all the partitions and, therefore, you will lose all data if you n t backup this before starting this procedure.

  You should read the user manual or information before starting the recovery. :(

• Satellite A500-19N - Wifi disabled running Windows 7

  Hi @all,

  I have a laptop SATELLITE A500-19N. My wlan collapsed on the overalls. Windows (7 65 bit) card says I should activate the hardware switch and the wireless communication is disabled. What I did:

  Check the hardware switch: the Toshiba Assist and ConfigFree tool shows the switch works. If I press the switch of the tool recognices it. -> work

  installed a linux live cd ubuntu: order of SAI rfkill list all the software bolocked:no and blocked material: Yes -> using fn + F8 succsessfuly toggels software blocked.

  Windows: win + x opens windows mobility centen-> activate the wireless button is gray-> fn + F8 does nothing

  Windows: installed value-added Package installed, uninstalled, reinstalled-> no change

  activated the module with a module of 100% working-> the original toshiba module WiFi without problem in a nother notebook. If I put it in the satellite, it is blocked again. the other does'nt of work package also works in the satellite.

  So my question:
  What else is there for me to Test? This component can be defect? What should I do? With the help of a dongle Wifi works but thas not really a solution for me.

  Best regards, Matthias

  Hello Matthias.

  have you managed to solve this problem?
  I have exactly the same problem you described. Wireless interface is down all of a sudden using xubuntu, and I wasn't able to make it work again.

  Also disassemble the laptop to control the contactor, it works electrically ok.
  Tried to boot into windows and clear cmos. Did not work.

  I'll apreciate any comment.

• Satellite A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

  Hi people,

  I need help please.

  My wireless adapter does not work.
  It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

  I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

  The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

  There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

  When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

  I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

  I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

  My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
  The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

  Hello

  Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
  Save the changes and restart the device.
  Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

  If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
  Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

  Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

  PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.

• Satellite A500-1GL - slow WiFi

  Bought a Satellite A500-1GL, because he promised performance a few weeks ago and I was disappointed.
  Lasts longer the laptop much longer than children should start up, but this isn't the painful question, I had struggled to trouble.
  When connected to the router it downloads to 9,46 Mb/s but I bought a laptop for mobile convenience.
  When there is wireless download speed gives a very painful 0.09 Mb/s.
  Here's what I've tried so far.

  Seller told me it was a problem of Internet Explorer and download Firefox.
  It took nearly an hour and has not made a difference.
  I disabled the virus checking and firewall individually and collectively and no help.

  Was told to change the channel on the router, I've done and no difference.

  Then said that if I changed the TX auto at 100% power level the problem should be solved.
  Download but always at the same painful level.

  Laptop of the child works very well exactly in the same places in the House, at 9 more Mbps, where my brand new Toshiba crawls to 0.09, or sometimes 0.10 MB/s.

  I also tried to turn all devices wireless into house arrest, but it did not help.

  Can someone help me please. I'm at my wits end and regretting spending so much money on this «high-performance notebook»

  Oh, I'm on Windows 7, have updated the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC and am ready for the hills.

  Help! ................................please!

  Have now updated the WLAN and the BIOS (?) but still not good.
  A lot of reading of problems like that of machines Toshiba.
  Really thought it was a good brand.
  Blood pressure is very high.
  I guess I'll be back tomorrow and get my money back.
  Not suitable for use, it was sold.

• Satellite A500 - slower with videos on Windows 7

  Hi, I desperately need advice, I am 78 years old and going into the wall.

  My Satellite A500 / 03P was bought with preinstalled Vista and worked fine. My particular interest is the functioning and the creation of video clips from training for other seniors, like video purchased has worked, stutter free. I took the offer to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the upgrade, things went quickly downhill since. Installing Windows 7 became crazy during the installation, I have to take the computer to a maintenance shop. He was returned with Windows 7 installed, but has been considerably slower with videos run from the hard drive stuttering, worse still, my connection Internet ADSL2 running about 1.25 m bits per second.

  After a while I got to service man and $ 200 later was provided with a dual boot hard drive, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. The system is practically unusable for video. I downloaded and installed all the 32 and 64-bit drivers provided by Toshiba but had to give up the 64-bit completely as unusable. I tried to install another copy of Vista Ultimate, bought for my old desktop PC, but could not get Internet to work, either directly or via the WIFI on the laptop.

  I tried to run the Toshiba on the 32-bit Windows 7, but the laptop is too slow, that even my email creeps to e-mail readere. Any advice would be most appreciated that my pension will not bear the costs of local peoples. Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.

  Concerning
  LeslieB

  Hi Leslie,.

  I m really wondering why your A500 has so many problems with Windows 7. From my own experience I can say it s really great and better than Vista OS. I use 1.5 years now and everything is working a lot on it.

  In any case, did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager and if there is no yellow exclamation?
  When you watch videos, have you selected the power profile high performance in Windows?

  > Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.
  That would be an option, Yes.
  You don t have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If this isn't the case, you can get it from a provider of service authorized in your country.

• Satellite A500 - 15 M: unable to connect to the TV with HDMI

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A500 - 15M. I recently tried to connect to my TV so I could watch certain shows online on my Hannspree Xv HD ready TV.
  The HDMI out does any record on the TV - the TV displays a message "not supported" and remains off (as if there is no signal) - display settings on the PC it does not recognize the TV... actually it [Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel] indicates that the TV/monitor settings are not supported.

  But I can connect via the VGA output - although I have to delete the display settings to 1024 x 768 to show on TV. In addition the display on the TV then is mainly pink and red, even if my pc display peak is most often blue. -start of the Toshiba screen displays on the TV, without any problems and one or twice the login screen was displayed too much, but then sometimes it isn't...
  I know that's not the VGA cable as I can connect to the TV with it on netbook advent my wife without any problem.
  Are there drivers, I need to update / download? Or I need to change the settings?
  How can I get my screen on my TV?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must connect the two machines (laptop and TV via HDMI) when the two devices are turned off. After turn on the TV and the laptop.

  You must choose the HDMI on TV channel and should then use the FN + F5 key combination to switch the video output to the TV.

  If this does not help, try updating the graphics card driver.
  It seems that your laptop supports the Intel graphics chip. Therefore, you can see the Intel page for new drivers.

• Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) turns itself on at 08:20 every morning

  * I was * stop * switch wifi on the case of the machine every night after his stop, (because I was wondering if the problem came from wake-up-on-lan).
  * I've been unplugging all the usb devices on the machine after
  * I have even unplugged my helmet just in case it makes a difference, (it's not)...

  I was leaving the unit plugged in, but there has been no interruption of power any since I got the machine.

  There is no one else at home when this happens, and I have no pets!

  I'm completely puzzled as to why the machine turns on, (and almost exactly the same time each day!)

  Anyone have any ideas here?

  Thank you

• Satellite A500-1f4 there modem 3G (3G support)?

  Please if anyone can help me with this.

  Satellite A500-1f4 there modem 3G (3G support)? because the sim card slot is wider than the SIM...

  Hi mate

  There are different A500 models on the market.

  Some A500 support WiFi broadband (3G) and some A500 don t support this feature.

  Unfortunately, the Satellite A500-1f4 does not support the 3G module and you can't use the SIM in the A500-1f4.

• Re: Audio crackles on Satellite A500 (PSAR3A - 01 K 002)

  Bought a new Satellite A500 last year and have had many problems, here's a quick run down:

  1 will play not with Win7 64-bit, compatible blue screens pointing to the graphics card driver. Tried every update in the Sun, nothing helps, also tried a full system restore with no luck... finally gave up and moved for Win 7 32 bit and stability seems reasonable.

  2. audio crackles with 64 and 32 bit versions of win 7, once again have tried every update under the Sun, including BIOS and full system restore with no luck. Audio is really shocking and it is worth noting that it is not just the speakers, when I use a headset (and joking around, I had plugged a top of the range $300 pair) it still crackles like nothing else.

  3. fell hardware WIFI switch...! ??? Also note that this laptop was not the biggest of any ill treatment and hase has spent most of it is time sitting on a desk at home and not be mobile (which incidentally is therefore what laptops are designed for should be able to handle)

  4. Webcam not centered, he did on my right shoulder looking into no. mans land making it quite impossible to use and type at the same time.

  Where I am now... Well I took it to Portacom (west Perth) under warranty that I do not advise anyone to do as disassembled for replacement of the webcam, they were pretty useless, and they were pretty rude about it too.

  They said they tested the audio with intensively music with headphones too and can't find anything wrong with that, but yet it still crackles away murdering all my favorite music.

  They said that the WIFI hardware switch was caused by abuse, but there is no sign of violence.

  They do not have check the blue screen with windows 64-bit issue because I had long since given up that at this time.

  I was always a fan of Toshi and that's why I insisted we do a when I upgraded, but it seems he build quality has suffered a little since I finally bought a. I don't think I'll go to another ever again, this machine is wound very badly and has a huge impression cheap on this subject. Even more if you need any technical support, warranty or not, don't bother with Portacom. As I said they are rude and not much help at all really.

  Hey, man

  You are right, the A500 series have problems and the most annoying is audio crackles. I bought my round 4 monts ago and hoped that Toshiba should fix bugs of cracking, but it is still exists. I tried all Bios upgrade, reinstalling the driver, registry settings, but still no solution. As I see it, Toshiba is not care we or am I wrong? They have placed the same driver display simply by changing date you output. As for me, I don't often listen to music on my knees, using a portable mp3 player which fortunately not crackling.
  But anyway, I love this model. He has a good design, assemblage of powerful and high quality. I hope they fix some bugs in the future

• Satellite A500 - unable to connect to the WLan

  I'd like someone to help me.

  Have recently bought a satellite A500.
  I'm new in the world of laptops so I'm wrong.
  I connected to a router via a modem, the two netgear, the news.

  Had the two config for my network. Works well as long as ethernet is connected to the router of computer.

  My wireless icon on the front of the laptop is orange.
  If this should be green as the router?

  Pressing FN f8 it tell me wireless is connected.
  When I remove the ethernet cable it tell me to fix the problem, I need to plug in the ethernet cable.
  But I want to go wireless, I'm sure I'm missing something.

  Rang netgear but after that my router and it is not connected to wireless technology they could help me more.
  I use windows7.

  Thanks to anyone who can help me.

  > My wireless icon on the front of the laptop is orange.
  > Should it be green as the router?

  The WLan led can only be ON or OFF. If the light comes on (any color) then it means that the Wlan switch is on!

  It seems that the WiFi is enabled. In this case, you will need to properly configure the WiFi network.
  You can use the own WLan settings in Windows or a Wlan configuration tool like Intel ProSet utility.

  First need choose the right SSID (wireless network name), right of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password encryption.
  Please note that all of these parameters should be the same on the router WLan and WLan configuration software!

  Please check if the firewall does not affect the connection to the internet as well!

  PS: make sure you use the latest version of the WLan driver
  Here you can find the drivers:

• Satellite A500-19W does not detect battery

  Hello

  I have a portable Satellite A500-19W which is 6 months old.

  I bought this laptop while I was in Egypt and now I've moved (Dubai) UNITED Arab Emirates.

  Lately my laptop started suddenly does not detect battery.

  To remedy this that I have to remove the battery and clean the terminals then re - put the battery and turn it on and it's OK.

  This happened twice this week and caused my data loss because the charger is disconnected (if the charger is connected, the laptop computer continue to work, but the battery indicator does not light up)

  Now, my questions are the following
  1 - is this problem under warranty?
  2 - should I pay for anything when getting this laptop in service in Dubai noting that I bought in Egypt?
  3. is there a cure for this problem without going through the service center?

  Thank you

  1 / Yes. These questions should be covered by the warranty. Material is junk.

  2 / the nearest service contact and ask, but I'm sure you don't have to pay for the repair. The two countries are countries in EMEA, and avoid any kind of problems.

  3 / it is not much, you can do about it so please contact and explain the situation. They should check your laptop and find a reason why this happens.

  Don t waste your time and contact the closest service. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

• Satellite A500-18R - several problems

  Hello everyone.

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-18R (Windows 7 64 - bits) in January. During the first half of the year do not use it too, but in these last 3-4 months that I have experience several problems. I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same thing and also can help me:

  # When I turn off wifi antenna of the switch on the front of the laptop and afert I turn on again, if I'm trying to find a wireless network Windows tells me that the wireless feature is not active (I have to go to the control panel to reset the device)
  # When I play music from Windows Media Player, Winamp, Traktor... music sounds like 'idle '. I even tried plugging my (ESI U46 XL) external USB sound card, and the result is the same...
  # The laptop battery is consumed even turns off. I had many laptops and it never happened...
  # When I try to burn a blank CD, most of the time it does not recognize the drive as empty. I know that this is not a strange event, but I tested with many brands and acknowledged only very few (I think is not normal)
  # A another problem with DVD/CD player is that does not recognize me some original CD. The last problem I've had with a driver CD for my (unrecognized) external sound card.

  My laptop is still on warranty, but I would like to know if anyone has experienced some of that delivers or if the drivers update can fix.

  Thank you very much and sorry for my English is not very good.

  Fran

  Hi Fran

  Please tell us if this Win7 is your own installation, or you guessed it with your laptop?

  I'll try to provide answers:
  # When you switch WLAN on, always check if the WLAN led is enabled. You can leave the WLAN switch on position and turn the WLAN MODULE by using the FN + F8 key combination
  # This phenomenon is not known to me, but what you can try is to check for his newest driver.
  # It is normal that, on the stack of the night, loses the ability a bit. If you leave for a longer period it can lose up to 25% of its capacity. No reason to panic.
  # I put t know what burning software do you use and what you do exactly. It is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  # some CDs is pretty General and statement not very good basis for the discussion. Which CD? Music CD, software CD? It may be that they are of poor quality and may not be readable. It is not possible to provide a precise answer to this.

  If you have a friend with very good PC knowledge to put your laptop in front of him and he let see what happens exactly.

  On this virtual path is not so easy to give accurate answers.

• 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.

  Sweden ColorBlend

  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...

• Adapter wireless turned off suddenly on my Satellite A500

  I have a laptop Satellite A500, on an old win7, a year and a half. Since the expiration of the warranty all started to go wrong and break spontaneously.

  Last night, the battery ended his own life, and it will now work on the sector. As soon as this happened, the wireless adapter also stopped work, behave as if I had flicked the switch at the front. A small red cross is in the lower corner, saying: no connection is available. Troubleshooting the connection says that the wireless card is disabled. If I go into the properties of the adapter, it seems turned on, it says the device is working properly and "allow windows turn off automatically" tab in power options is not checked.

  Is there anything else I can try? Buy a new battery would solve this problem?

  See you soon.

  * @ Wifi Kaputt *.
  Seems you have corrected this and according to the last assignment, the WiFi network was not enabled correctly because the Fn + F8 didn t work properly so I agree with you: these two tools should reactivate the FN feature.
