• A few questions on the Satellite A500-19W

  Hello

  recently purhased a Toshiba Satellite A500-19w laptop. I discovered that the modem port is closed sealed. (with plastic coating) and there is no way to open it.
  Have this same problem all A500-19w. In addition, I have not received a remote control with this laptop. That would come with the package?

  -Sheldon

  Satellite A500 comes with several different hardware configurations, and it is not easy to say that all of them are the same.
  You must also understand that the notebooks are product specific to the country and I know that all platforms will not be available in all countries.
  It may therefore be that A500 all offered in your country lacks the modem port.

  Modem will not be used so often to be honest in year 2010 and my personal opinion is that users of 90% laptops it will fail.

  With remote control is the same. If the specification for your model doesn't offer information on it within the framework of the package then all should be clear to you.

• Satellite A500-19w - BSOD BCCode 9 - BAD_POOL_HEADER

  Hey everybody

  About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-19w. Have been crackling sounds from the speakers, but also error blue screen & restart.
  So I decided that I wanted a refund because it was out of the question for me to keep a laptop that has been hurt since the first day.

  The Bank refused to give me my money back, instead they gave me a new laptop (the same Satellite A500-19w).

  Now, I have the same exact problems, but since I will not get my money, I'm stuck with it.
  I've had the laptop for 3 days now, and only today I had 4 blue screen errors (the last 3 times, after windows restarted, I don't even have a log of the error so that I could post it here).

  But from what I remember, it was a BCCode 19, & during the last blue screen that I had, I saw "BAD_POOL_HEADER".
  I was going through the forums desperately try to find a solution, but have not found anything so far.
  I don't know what the problem is, I really need help.

  My OS is a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.
  (All A500-19w normal sheet example 1 g Ram, 230 M nVIDIA VGA...).

  I really really need help.
  I have a lot of work to do and this laptop is the only tool I have.
  I don't have access to other computers.

  Help, please.

  And one more thing, service of Toshiba Tempro advised me a new update of the BIOS, but when I tried to get it, he told me that ' you seem to have the same version or newer "or something like that & the update did not work.
  Yet once, please, I'm desperate for help.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think the problem is software partner.
  The google provides many successes on the BSOD BCCode 19 and the BAD_POOL_HEADER

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say which application or a driver could cause this because its always a different software...

  But you can check the minidump file to obtain more details on the error...

  Here is a document of Microsoft Knowledge on how to play files of dump Windows creates the memory.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315263

  It should help to find the source of the BSOD

• 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 A500-19W - suddenly restarts during games

  Hello guys,.

  I recently got a new Satellite A500-19W, but just playing games, it restarts all of a sudden.
  No idea what could be causing this and how to solve it.

  Thank you

  Hi Malek_1,

  This happened to me also on Satellite A300. The reason is because my laptop was overheating and so I decided to clean using compressed air stream. It's pretty easy because that's why it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop and it blows the dust from the cooling fans.
  Check this box!

  In addition, in Windows power management, you can choose between different methods of cooling. I use the maximum performance mode.

• Satellite A500-19W: How can I activate button light button mute?

  Anyone know how I can activate the switch Illumination in a mute button?
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19W, with win 7 installed.

  I have 8 keys as usual (eco, CD/DVD, play, previous, next, illumination and sound - and +)
  The light switch controls all the LEDs on the laptop and I find it useless. Is there a way I can turn into button mute?

  I found a way to control through toshiba Deputy-> optimize-> support button, but I do not know what data to enter.
  When I choose the illumination button under the name of power button, I have to fill the description, option and target path field for the mute button. Any idea which must be entered in these areas?

  Thanks in advance

  To be honest, I think that it is a very useful option, because in a certain situation you can toggle light very quickly and do not start multiple tools to achieve this.
  Please note that you can use the mute box very quickly by using the FN + ESC key combination.

  In any case, I ve experienced follow:
  After the installation of own added value package I pressed the button to light for the first time and I had small window with the Toshiba button assignment tool message you pressed the button has not been configured.
  I ve set my preferred option and got the following with window
  + Are you sure that you want to set the button for this function? Once you set the button, you can not change this default unless you reinstall Button Toshiba Support. +

  So I think you know what you need to do now and try to change it.

• Satellite A500-19W - where can I find Windows 7 32-bit drivers?

  I had a Satellite A500-19w. I want to install Windows 7 32 bit, but I can't find any driver.
  Please help me find the drivers.

  Hello

  I checked the Toshiba website, but unfortunately, it seems that there is no driver for Windows 7 32 bit, only for Windows 7 64-bit.

  But have you tried the 32 bit drivers for Vista? Normally, most of them should work.

• Why the fan of my Satellite A500-19W of bizarre acts?

  I bought this computer a week ago. I have Windows 7 64 bit. When I surf the net or watch a movie or listen to music the fan starts for 2 minutes, stop for 2 minutes again. It's a cycle that never ends, and the sound of it that bothers me, making me think that something is wrong. The computer is not hot with the exception of the evacuation zone. It cannot be filled with dust because it's brand new. Is this normal? Should I be worried?

  Hello

  My satellite that a500 is also like that, even if I surf the Internet, watch movie and CPU shows only 5%. I don't play all the games. It didn't because of the dust because I clean it regularly, installed all the drivers, BIOS updated. For the most part, I always run in energy saving mode but fact noise.
  The only way to make it quieter to run the fan at a constant speed as 54%, I simply load the CPU with some applications that keeps the fan runs almost everytime and no perceptible noise

  My computer got Win7 64-bit.

  No one has never had a problem connecting to the internet until yesterday.
  They connect to the internet, but my computer does not connect.

  I encountered problems "problem with access point or wireless adapter.

  In summary, 3 computers are connecting to the internet, but my computer does not connect with the same modem.

  Please help me
  Thank you

  It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but try it please to toggle the device map local network once more. Use the FN + F8 key combination.

  In my view, it cannot be a major problem. Be fair course of wireless network card is correctly activated. Also check in the Device Manager.

• Satellite A500 - crackling sounds and blue screen

  Hey everybody.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19w about 4 days ago (today it is Sunday, March 7, 2010).

  I had the sounds of crackling of my speakers which have been mentioned so many times in the forums, no real solution.
  I also experienced the crash of the blue screen, that's already happened 7 times while I was not strongly using my newly buy laptop.
  I'm not looking for a repair or a replacement, because I find it quite unacceptable to have to think about the errors, faults & fixes as much as the laptop is brand new.

  What I want is a refund, but I'm not sure on how to do it.

  I know that Toshiba has some sort of refund policy, but if someone can tell me exactly how it works, because I want to get rid of my laptop as soon as possible (I will not buy any more portable Toshiba, especially since I had some similar problems with my Qosmio f30).
  If someone can give me some guidance, because I don't want to be mocked or used and cheated out of refund.
  I bought my Toshiba in the Middle East (perhaps refund policies are different here).
  Thank you.

  Hi mihran.

  If you want to pay off your laptop, you should talk with your computer store where you bought it. Only the can repay your laptop and not Toshiba directly.
  Of course it is also depending on the country where you life, but normally you can pay within 14 days I think. So in your case I speak with the seller or give them a call. They explain how to do this.

  But let me give you a little advice: regarding your problems with the crackling sound and blue screen I recommend that you contact an authorized service provider or ask a new A500 (this should be possible if you have only 4 days). Generally, I can say that a friend of mine has Satellite A500 and he is quite satisfied with her. This laptop has a great design equipped with new material for a good price. :)

• Can't stop my Satellite A500

  Hello

  I got a Satellite A500 (Windows7), which I just can't stop.

  Comments:
  -) Normally to stop the laptop I go to the 'Windows' symbol on the lower left corner of the screen and choose "close". This option of closing unresponsive. Yesterday, I clicked on 'close' several times but it just does not respond. I gave up and just 'hibernated' laptop.
  (-) I did a virus check to make sure that everything was ok from the point of view and it is.
  -) There is no background running programms.
  -) Others that the problem with closing, everything works fine (as far as I know).
  -) Recently I have also a red x through the battery symbol warning me that the battery does not cool and must be replaced - I assume that the two are not connected?

  I am a pretty simple user (surfing the net, up/downloading music/pictures), so it is not things "hightech" installed or pass somehow. I would appreciate your help guys!

  Kind regards

  I put t know where you got this laptop, but if you want to start using it for private use I recommend you start using with the own operating system preinstalled.
  Install the original image recovery using recovery disk or recovery disk option if the previous user have created.

  After that make you own preinstalled OS and factory settings. Everything should be OK and you can configure how like it and also don't forget that there are not some viruses or anything else that may disturb you.

• Satellite A500 - power problems while game

  I was wondering if Satellite A500 users have had the same problem as me. I got my laptop to 10 months and for the last 2 months I get really bad heating problems with my laptop. I have tried everything to clean the laptop with a can to purchase under product cooling fan air to try to stop the tap from the bottom during the game but no luck.

  I want to come to a point were I think that its time to back the laptop to toshiba and ask for a replacement or a new laptop as after spending nearly £700 for laptop Gamers its just not up to scratch.

  Any help would be most appreciated that I get at the end of my patience with her. Now stop playing Aliens Vs Predators live x 11 and the Lord of the Rings Online and Supreme Commander 2, name a few.

  Also, I was watching a DVD using the HDMI port and it did for me then also.

  Help, please.

  Hi HellspwanUK,

  So if your laptop stops all at stake, it would be interesting to know what OS you have installed what is driving display and you are using. This behavior is typical if you use nVidia display drivers rather Toshiba display drivers. The nVidia drivers don't have protection against overheating and different thermal management. This means that your graphics card would go on the highest level, so it might be overheating and closed.
  I would recommend most recent installation display driver official of Toshiba page for your model.

  And have you cleaned your laptop as described here:

  In addition, I would also check the BIOS. Have you installed the latest version of the BIOS?

• 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.

  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.

  Thank you

• Satellite A500 - 19 X - cannot activate Win7 installed on new SSD

  Hi guys,.

  my hard drive failed and I replaced it with a new solid state drive. I installed Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit sp1 and I used the product key I got for my old drive entered pre loaded when I bought the laptop. Unfortunately, what it won't validate. Microsoft is a key valid and contact Toshiba.
  Toshiba tell me that because she was pre loaded on my laptop will not work for my new drive.

  My laptop model is a toshiba Satellite A500-19 x help please

  Your laptop comes with Windows preinstalled, and this version has already been activated. The product key you have on the Microsoft sticker belongs to the original version of Windows and cannot be used for activation if you want to use the own version of Win. With the new laptop, you bought Windows and a valid license too.

  I don't know if you created the recovery DVDs as described in manuals s but if you use it for the installation of the OS. If you do not have this recovery DVDs that you have a problem.

  In my opinion, there are two options: either you're going to pay for the new license or you order original recovery disk ad original recovery image on your laptop.
