• 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.

  Hello everyone

  I'm new to this forum and I need your help.

  I have a new toshiba Satellite A500-1gh with windows 7 ultimate 64-bit.
  It works perfectly, but I have problems when im trying to copy to my/on my portable usb drive.

  He copy some data and then blue screen of death.
  I tried to check my RAM with memtest, but it restarts my pc once he starts the first tests.

  Can someone help me?

  Hello

  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...

• 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.

• Satellite A500-1GL: what are the essential drivers for Win7 64 bit

  Hello

  First of all, sorry for my English, I'm french :)

  Second, I'm going to buy this PC next month and I have the opportunity to buy it without a Windows license (I'm already a Windows license).
  So I'm lost to find the drivers on the download page, because there are several versions of drivers (for example drivers: Nvidia or Realtek Semiconductor Corporation)

  (Important drivers) drivers I need to download once to install Windows Seven 64-bit.

  Thirdly, I would like to know if it is possible to install display drivers downloaded from the Web of Nvidia site and not that of Toshiba?

  Thanks for your help :)

  Hello

  > So I'm lost to find the drivers on the download page, because there are several versions of drivers
  Satellite A500-1GL is a part of the PSAR9E series. If you need drivers then you must choose Satellite A500 PSAR9E

  > What (important drivers) drivers I need to download once to install Windows Seven 64-bit.
  Almost all of the drivers are important... the essential drivers are sound, lan, wlan, graphic card driver, touchpad, etc.
  VAP (value added package) and utility support memory card Flash are required for keys FN and buttons of media control

  > Thirdly, I would like to know if it is possible to install display drivers downloaded from the Web of Nvidia site and not that of Toshiba?
  Usually it s not recommended to use the drivers from nVidia or an ATI page because these drivers don't support drivers Toshiba overheating protection
  But if you want to use the nVidia drivers so that at you own risk

  Installation can be a bit harder running the exe file will not work because you will get a message that this driver is not allowed, but you can install all the drivers in Device Manager you can point to the driver files, stored on the HARD drive and this will allow to choose the nVidia Driver

• Satellite A500-1 - What is the maximum capacity of the HARD drive

  Hello

  I have to re - install the factory installed Win 7 on my Satellite A500-1 because I'm not able to install SP1.
  The cause is that inside Win 7 product information is missing.

  With regard to what I like to install a new HARD disk with more capacity (400 gb current).

  What HARD drive I can install and what is the maximum capacity (1 TB, 750 GB)?

  BIOS is updated.

  Any advice is welcome.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  To my knowledge, there is no limitation of the capacity of the HARD disk since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support over 400GB.

• 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 :)

I had a quick look at the maintenance manuals want DV6 and its almost identical to the pavilion DV6. Out of curiosity, if you where to copy the files from the external hard drive on your laptop SSD, which is the average of the writing speed? I know that this will not prove the capacity of SSDS but I just want a rough idea

  Thank you

  Can someone tell me who is Tj Max for this CPU?

  I got different numbers in Aida and HwMonitor and I want to know which 1 is real (if one is; bouth programs have customization)?

  Hi Proday,

  What you hear with * Tj * for CPU?

  The laptop is equipped with a processor Intel Core i5 430M CPU. The maximum clock speed is 2.26 GHz and 2.53 GHz maximum turbo frequency. If you run programs with high utilization of the processor CPU will automatically be overclocked to 2.53 GHz that will give you a performance boost. This technology is called Intel Turbo Boost Technology.

• 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?

  Thanks in advance for any answer and sorry for the mistakes with my English

  Or it will be very slow?

  Of course, I am aware that a laptop can not hope to equal out of office. But since I am not satisfied by the quality-price ratio of Nvidia cards high of current range, I decided to wait until the release of Maxwell before assembling a new desktop platform.

  In the meantime, I am planning to get a laptop cheap (for editing in his bed ). This one seems to offer decent record and good value at £700 / $1075. I would put a 7200 RPM Seagate Barracuda in there.

  All opinions, please?

  No. It's terribly slow IMO, being only a dual-core CPU, although with HT, but still low power for HD editing. SD card, it is acceptable, if you get an SSD as a boot disk and a second drive internal 7200 RPM. The standard drive 5400 RPM is good enough to make a backup of...? It is at least 15 times slower than a fast desktop computer. Is it painful? Depends on the pain tolerance...

  Well, you know what you pay for...
