• Excite the AT - 10 battery goes down when it is turned off

  I have an occasional problem with my excited AT - 10A - 104. Usually when I turn it on, it's nice, but about once in 5, the battery is completely flat. This can be annoying when I need to use somewhere where there is no loading facilities.

  I always if ensure that I have turned it off properly, and it still shows the message 'closure '. Also, I make sure that there are no applications in the list of recent applications before shutting down.

  Can anyone suggest a way to avoid this?

• Satellite A500-138 - battery gets smaller when it is off

  Hello!

  I recently bought the A500-138 and I noticed that if the computer turns off for more than half a day the battery power is lower.
  For example, after 2 days when the computer does not work at all the battery starts to 88%.

  It it normal or there is a problem with the battery?

  Thank you.

  Hello!

  I n t have any new Satellite A500, but on my Satellite A300, I got the same problem battery gets low when it was off.

  After searching a bit here in the forum, I founded that I disable the Wake-On-LAN feature in the BIOS. In addition, I recommend disabling the function USB Sleep & Charge you can find also in the BIOS.

  It works for you too?

• Satellite P200-1IE: battery goes down even if connected power outlet

  Hope someone can give me some good advice here as an urgent decision to make about my P200-2 - week old 1IE, under Vista Home Premium, I bought the Portugal where I live. I was told that I have 15 days to return the machine to the store if I am not satisfied, then I must act quickly.

  Background info: I have not yet downloaded SP1 updates or drivers or bios on the Toshiba site. That once the machine has been run on battery (accidentally when the power was off) - he ran down, beep and a time that I realized and turned on the power, is it charged normally. The machine works very well, and then last night a strange problem occurred.

  The machine was left unattended and ends by closes. When it has been restarted the battery alert was a sound signal. My husband na? A´t realize that it was, and close again the machine. When I got to watch it I noticed that even though the power light was there was no light to the battery, or orange or blue, nothing.

  I turned on and checked the battery which was about 20%, but that the power supply has been connected to the taskbar icon energy showed that the battery was not charging in fact it unloaded quickly at a minimum. I stop the machine, then the battery light orange came for about 5 minutes, then went out again. Play with this problem, try to troubleshoot gave strange and unpredictable results i.e.

  -unplugged and re plugged the power supply at the end of the machine and then no lights came, not even the power sector led.
  -is turned off and turned back on the power at the end of the plug and the sector and battery (orange) lights came on.
  -battery charge indicator is out after 10 minutes.
  -unplugged and reconnected the power to the machine again and this time the sector and battery lights came on - even once, they came out after about 10 minutes.
  -power the computer on. The power icon showed about 25% power. Not powered down the new machine - no lights at all.
  -entretienavec and re-connected turns on power to the machine again and this time and battery charging sector came and stayed on.
  -After about 2 hours, the battery light showed charged (turns blue) and so I unplugged the power socket and left for this morning.

  As I suspected, this morning the battery power was 100%. Everything seems normal (except the battery light is released briefly on starting the machine, which is maybe normal and I just never paid attention to the front). I unplugged the power supply and let it run on the battery for about 10 minutes (this is plan is Equilibrado which I believe is balanced). I then reconnected power and loaded back up to 100% as you can imagine.

  Sorry for the long description, but even if all is well, now strange problems yesterday let me feel that there is a potentially serious problem within the machine. Has anyone encountered anything like this before and what do you think I should please?

  Hello

  It s a long and very strange history.

  My first idea was a battery issue but to be honest it is really not easy to say why this problem occurred, it would also be possible that this would cause to loses connection

  I think you should visit you laptop dealer and eventually you could substitute other P200.

• Satellite P100-160 resolution goes down when the 2nd screen is connected

  Hi all

  I have a P100-160 equipped with Intel 945 express chipsets for graphics. Whenever I connect to my laptop to an external display, it reduces the resolutions available for the external monitor and laptop to 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. There are no other options. I KNOW that the graphic card can support a higher resolution for an external monitor that.

  I tried all the sense of starting and restarting with the monitor plugged in and out, I updated to the latest drivers and and I flashed the BIOS with the latest version of the BIOS without result. There is not even in the BIOS to change display settings.

  Someone has encountered this problem before?

  Hello

  The favorite of the external resolution can be chosen IF the graphics card chip and graphics driver support this resolution.

  In your user manual, you can find information about what external resolutions are available and taken in charge on this laptop.

  Did you check that?
  If this is not the case, do it!

• Satellite A500-1GL: it is advisable to remove the battery when you use the network

  I know this is a silly question but its actually something I know not so thought I would ask.

  I almost always plug my laptop into the supply line (satellite a500 1gl)
  I was wondering have you actually keep the battery installed even when using the electrical network.
  Or is it really advisable to remove the battery when you use the network?
  I didn't know if the battery should always be in place.

  New age of batteries are better you can leave the battery in the Bay it s ok and it should not affect the performance

  * The machine is * shut down * every night, (hibernation or suspended), usually between 23:00 and 01:00.
  * 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

  Hi freddo

  Have you tried to load default BIOS settings?
  Entry of the parameters press F9 BIOS and save the settings.

  Check if this happens again.

• Satellite A500-1GL: recovery reached Office Reboot again and again - solved

  I did a restore on my Satellite A500-1GL using F8 to recovery on the HARD drive.

  However after the computer goes through the implementation of Windows 7 for the first time, from desktop it immediately disconnects and restarts.

  This process of setting up Windows for the first time, including initialization screen white with logoff bar then immediate green and stop constantly repeats.

  Same result with Recovery CD I created again.

  It is no longer an option to repair the computer when you press F8.

  Any suggestions please?

  If I end up having to reinstall Windows 7 from another copy, then how can I go about it like
  Windows 7 license serial number rubbed off the label on the bottom of the laptop?

  Thanks in advance.

  -* SOLVED * -.

  -It turns out that he must restart about 6 - 7 times to complete the installation.

  Hello

  As I see that everything is fine. It is logical that laptop restarts several times while recovery facility is running. I do not know how it looks with your machine, but when I use the recovery machine it starts with the number 1/64. With other words, it must be installed 64 components (software) and then some of them laptop restarts simply but installation will continue.

  When the recovery image is complete it is still displayed on the screen and the laptop owner is notified that installation of recovery has been completed successfully.

• Satellite A500-1GL - Video driver not responding

  Hello

  The version of the video driver 275.33 is not an official version of Toshiba. I checked the Web from Toshiba site and for your model of laptop (model PSAR9E number) version 8.16.11.8875 is the most recent. So I recommend installing this display driver because it s pre-tested Toshiba designed for your model of laptop display driver.

  I hope that helps! :)

• Satellite A500-1GL - cannot upgrade the BIOS

  Hello

  I tried to upgrade the BIOS on my Satellite A500-1GL (PSAR9E) for awhile now, but a dead battery so I can not go beyond the security check at the beginning. Is it all of the way around it, like I'm connected with current alternative, so I don't see what the problem is! Could I have possibly self-extracting zip files.

  Any help would be appreciated as this is very frustrating!

  Hello

  I think that you will not be able to update the BIOS, if your battery is dead.
  Victory based BIOS update can be updated from Windows system, and there is a security option that allow you to update the BIOS only if the laptop is connected to the power adapter and if the battery is charged.

  You can update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version, but as far as I know that Toshiba service partner could do that.

  If you have two options:
  Purchase a battery in order to update the BIOS by using win according to BIOS version or you will get in touch with an ASP in your country and will ask you to update the BIOS by using the traditional version of BIOS.

  But the BIOS update is necessary to you?

  I have a laptop with the old BIOS version and I don't have that day even if the new version has been released.

• 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 A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite A500-1GL - service Intel RST does not

  Hi all

  Looks like I'll have a series of problems. I just noticed this message on my Satellite A500-1GL and I was wondering what this means and how do I solve it? When I clicked it, I got a pop up saying that he was trying to connect to the service, but nothing happened. I don't know the logo normally has a green but now has a yellow check! I tried a reboot, but it remains the same.

  Can someone explain what it is and what I need to do to fix it?

  Thanks a lot again
  Torti

  Hi torti,.

  I put also don't know much about it but I searched a bit using Google, and it seems that Intel RST means Intel Rapid Storage Manager for hard disks.

  If you Google, you will be advised to reinstall in page Intel or Toshiba.

  As you can see, Google can answer most of the questions. ;)

• 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 :)

  Berillions

  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
