Satellite A500-1GH empty what is PCI accommodation with sign JGPS

Almost a year ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-1GH.
I can't say that I'm not satisfied with the computer or the company.

The problems I had was the display problem (stops working for seconds) which was the problem of software (updated nVidia 8.16.11.8875) and with the HARD disk that works to stop but the company changed with a new one.

Now, I wanted to spend the second module of memory from 2 GB to 4 GB so I can have 2 x 4 GB, but when I open the memory compartment, I saw an empty PCI home with JGPS sign beside them.
Does anyone know what it is?

And if so what is the part number?
Thank you in advance.

Hi mate

AFAIK JGPS is a GPS connector.
Perhaps this connector would be shared by 3G miniPCI card.
AFAIK this Satellite A500-1GH not equipped with a 3G module and slot miniPCI is so empty.

> And if so what is the part number?
I don't know the part number, but all parts can be ordered from local Toshiba ASP.

  • Satellite A500-1GH - SD slot is compatible with SDHC and SDXC?

    I have a Satellite A500-1GH with Windows 7 64 bit. I'm about to buy an SD card, and I was wondering if the SD card on the front of the laptop is compatible with SDHC cards and latest SDXC cards. If so, do I need to download some software or drivers for this type of SD cards to work?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi xactxx,

    Normally you can answer this question yourself... What do you think?

    You only need the manual and you will find a list of supported SD and SDHC cards.
    It supports SDHC up to 16 GB cards.

    Is it only happens using USB drive?
    Have you tried other disks USB, key USB flash or other USB devices?

    > I tried to check my RAM with memtest, but it restarts my pc once he starts the first tests.
    Hmm... It's strange...
    The problem of memory could be responsible for BSOD, but if this BSOD appears only using USB drive then I would recommend testing other external USB HDD.

    You should also try to update the driver from chipset since the chipset USB ports driver controls

  • Satellite A500-1GH - display driver stopped responding and has successfully

    My laptop is the A500-1GH and I bought it 2 days ago...
    My problem is that, for the fourth time, the screen went black and then recovered and I get the message "display driver stopped responding and was retrieved successfully." My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 330.

    I'd appreciate it if anyone knows what to do to fix this

    Hello

    Looks like the graphics card driver crashed for no apparent reason.
    Have you tried to reinstall the graphics driver?

    To do this.
    Visit the page of European Toshiba driver and download the driver for this model of laptop. Update the driver and restart the device.

    It would be interesting to know if it would help.

  • Re: Feature VAP strange on Satellite A500-1GH

    Hi all,

    I recently bought my new laptop A500 and I am facing a strange problem [about the usefulness of the VAP (?)].
    A have installed all the drivers compatible + latest version of the bios on the official site for my model (windows 7 64-bit, a500-1gh-PSAR9E) and I have the following problems:

    (i) the ECO button does not work (I hear the characteristic beep sound when I touch it and its cord flashes once, but nothing happens and the button is not turning green - it turns to green but only when I turn on ECO Utility from the utility application ECO)
    (II) the key backlight illumination does not work either (the noise is heard again and it flashes once but nothing happens)
    (III) the button that activates / deactivates my (located just above the touchpad) touchpad does not work either (but FN + F9 to toggle the touchpad)

    I would also like to mention the following (if he can be of any help). When I uninstall the VAP utility:

    (i) ECO button has the same behavior, as described above
    (II) backlight touch key now works perfectly as a button on / off SOUND (MUTE)
    (III) Touchpad toggle button works perfectly.

    I don't understand what the problem is... it would be a mismatch of latest version VAP?
    Any help would be appreciated!

    P.S. Sorry for mistakes :)

    The whole story is really strange and I m room very important is missing:
    Have you noticed this problem from the first moment (after only the first beginning OS) or later?

    To be honest I have don t think anyone here will be able to explain why this happens. Maybe some software Toshiba experts can do this, but I don't think you will get such explanation here.
    Why discuss it here and wait a few comments? If the laptop is new, I presume that there is possibility to install recovery image once more to see if everything works again.

    To do this, you can use HARD drive recovery facility. Do it and test the functionality with the factory settings.

  • Problem with video card satellite A500-1GH (I think...)

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with my A500-1GH. Randomly the screen goes black and then recovers by showing a message "display driver stopped responding and was retrieved successfully." My graphics card is Nvidia GeForce 330. I read many things, but all reviews were old - since the beginning of the year and nobody has solved this problem then. Do you know if there is now a solution for this?

    The laptop is brand new (respectively the windows is brand new) and the drivers and bios are up-to-date.

    Thanks in advance :)

    Hello

    Yes, it is a known problem with the vga driver in this forum. Already, you said it yourself, nobody has solved this problem :( I can just recommend you try to install a vga from nvidia.com driver. In my case, I have NVIDIA Gt 230 M, driver update has solved.

  • Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

    After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

    In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

    Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

    Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10

  • Satellite A500-1GH - what this laptop supports CPU load

    Hello everyone.

    Does anyone know which processor is supported for this laptop?
    I mean the exact models because I know what Intel I5 installed.

    Or maybe if you know the best processor that can be installed in this laptop.
    Are there documents for this laptop because I can not find the drivers in the toshiba site?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    The laptop supports the * Intel (R) Core i5-430 M * processor
    All details can be found on the page of Intel:
    http://www.Intel.com/consumer/products/processors/Corei5-specs.htm

    > Or maybe if you know the best processor that can be installed in this laptop.
    > Here are all the documents for this laptop because I can not find the drivers in the toshiba site?

    Usually the CPU upgrade not is not supported by Toshiba... but if you use the CPU of the same family of CPU (i5 - 520 M, i5 - 540 M), then you should have a good chance that the laptop would be compatible with this CPU... but I would not recommend these updates.

    Why?
    (1) you will not see any performance gain
    (2) you will lose the warranty

  • Satellite A500 or L500 - what is the best?

    Hoping someone can give a preview with me. I'm going to buy a new computer and other than Harmon Kardon speakers, I don't seem to see a huge difference between the L500 and the A500 series. To be more precise, these are models I look. As you can see, they differ in the price a bit, so what's the story? Is there a huge difference in the other than speakers system?

    [http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptop-model.jsp?family=Satellite&model=L500] [http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptop-model.jsp?family=Satellite&model=A500]

    And Yes, I'm aware of all the customization options, but even if they have the same EXACT features, this series is even more expensive. Why?

    A series of satellite is definitely best choice. If you compare the design, you'll notice that a series has better design and noble air.
    All of Satellite phones do not have the same hardware platform and before buy you one pick up the info on all the models available in your country.

    If you buy A Satellite it will be the right choice for you.

    BTW: has speakers harman/kardon L500? ;)

  • Satellite A500-1GH - need drivers after installing Windows

    Hi all

    I am facing a strange problem when I am trying to format my laptop.

    I boot from dvd press the option to install windows 7 and then I get the following error message:

    "Required the reader driver CD/DVD is missinjg. If you have a driver disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now.

    "Note: If the Windows installation media is in the CD/DVD drive, you can remove safely for this step.

    Start with a search on the net, I discovered that the more possible case is that the OS needs the driver HARD drive controller to continue.
    Assuming that this was the case, I downloaded from the support page, the following drivers:

    Storage Manager
    Chipset utility
    Intel Management Engine Interface and
    Intel Matrix Storage Management Utility

    After that, I extracted the executable files of the specified packages files on my USB flash drive and inserted in my Toshiba Sattelite but once again, he can not find the correct driver and displays the message:

    "No device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK. »

    Am I missing a driver or what? All the world is facing this problem?
