• Satellite L500-F19 is started due to failed HARD drive recovery process

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-F19 and recently started having a bad performance in the GUI, and also began to close on its own.

  To try to solve the problem, I used the sistem of HARD drive recovery by pressing F8 in the boothing process.
  What is happening is that this process is not and and now my laptop does not even start!
  What can I do?

  I have a windows repair disc, but it was made only a few days ago and this pc is in my possetion for 3 years now.
  Is there a way I can recover my sistem in the original?

  Thank you
  João

  Yes, you can get it back to factory settings. You can only do so in a way: you must use the recovery DVDs. Have you created this disk?

  Please don t mix Windows repair disk and recovery disk. For now you can not repair anything. What you need to do is clean installation of image recovery.

• Satellite A60-131: Question about upgrade RAM and HARD drive

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A60 S-131, bought 2 years ago.
  I want to know is it possible for me to upgrade (internal) for a superior ability to HDD 40 GB HARD drive and update my RAM to 512 MB on the rise.

  Also I already inserted a 256 MB DDR RAM in the empty memory slot almost 1 year ago.

  Help will be appreciated.

  Hi Pranjal,

  You can definitley upgrade your hard drive for a larger version. You should find that a 80 or 100 GB will work fine. You should make sure that you get you a new disc with the same physical characteristics as you existing. The following link will help you remove the hard drive.
  http://irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaA65/satA65_1.htm

  You can also get a new hard drive with a more rapid rotation speed (5400 RPM or 7200 RPM).

  I think that the maximum RAM for the A60 is 1.25 GB which includes 1 X fixed module (I presume yours is 256 MB, which means that you can install an additional module with a capacity up to 1 GB. Available in capacities of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB of RAM modules.

  Kind regards

• Satellite T110-121 - Question about disk and hard drive recovery

  Hello

  I started to use my nice new Satellite T110-12. How can I create a recovery disc?

  Why is there that a common message on the vibration has been detected, HDD head has been moved to a safe position? Is there something wrong? I would return it before the week is up?

  Please answer, thanks a lot a lot!

  Hi LindaMon,

  > How to create a recovery disk?
  What about reading your user manual?
  You need a 8 GB USB key for the creation of a support recovery and preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator.

  > head drive has been moved to a safe position?
  Yes, that's normal and everything is ok with your laptop. Your HARD drive will be protected by HDD/SSD Alert utility which is a nice feature of Toshiba to avoid accidents of the head and can improve the lives of the internal HARD disk.
  But yoou can disable these notifications if you want. ;)

• Satellite L555 - 10M - deleted Partition D and HARD drive recovery

  Hi all

  I deleted my D partition on my laptop also drive HARD recovery. Now my Question is how to retrieve an Image on this Partition? I have a recovery CD and I can start it but it s only a picture for Windows 7 32 bit.
  If I boot from CD then a warning appears, who asked if I have already created an Image. If I click Next, then it will format my C Partition.

  Can someone tell me how I can create a new Image without C format?

  Thank you very much

  Hi hardpoekel,

  Why you deleted the D partition if you didn't create the Toshiba Recovery disk? Sorry, I put t understand.

  I think the point is that drive recovery of what you have now only contains an image of Windows 7 32 bit. AFAIK on Satellite L555 - 10 M is Windows 7 64 bit preinstalled and create a recovery for this OS disc, to use the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. But now it of too late because you deleted the files on this disc.

  I think that going back to Windows 7 64-bit, you can order a Toshiba Recovery disk:
  https://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  You can use the recovery disk from current 32 bit without any problems, but it will only restore 32-bit version instead 64-bit.

• Satellite A210 - 11 p - gos black screen and HARD drive does not

  Hello

  My Satellite A210 - 11 p suddenly goes to a black screen and the hard drive stops working. It is always under tension and if I want to restart I have to unplug the unit and remove the battery.

  I thought it was overheating and checked the time and they were really high in the 1980s. I took the fan and cleaned (very dusty) and the basic form of thermal paste. Temperatures plummeted now immediately but I still have the same problem, I updated the graphics driver and watched the temp on GPU (which is fine) but the problem is still happening. I used a number of programs to check for errors on the hard drive and no reported problems. I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
  The problem seems to occur at any time and is not due to the execution of a given program, even just browsing with firefox

  Not too sure what to do and any advice would be welcome.

  Hey Buddy,

  > I reloaded Windows 7 but still no joy.
  Have you ever tried with Toshiba Recovery disk operating system?

  The Toshiba recovery disc there is an image of the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools. If you install Windows on this disk, you factory back.

  That would mean if you have the same problem after the installation of recovery it s really bad hardware working because you have pretested settings of Toshiba. In this case an authorized service provider can help you make an accurate diagnosis what part is affected.

• Satellite A100-906: Question on the processor and HARD drive temperature

  Hey guys,.

  I want to ask u for the level of normal temperature of this laptop? I want to know the temperature of the CPU (1,2) and the temperature of the HARD drive, because I think that my laptop is overheating and it is a problem for me :/ (my temperature is now around 50 for the 2 hearts and nearly 40 for hard disk) Is this ok or? Ty ;)

  Hello

  Believe me, the 50 degrees C for the CPU and C 40 degrees for the disk HARD is a normal temperature! It's rare!
  On my laptop the CPU temperature increases up to 60 degrees C if no application works.

  But be aware that the temperature varies.
  If you run different applications on the laptop, the performance of the processor will be increased and the temperature rises.
  That is a fact.

  There is nothing wrong GUY ;)

• Satellite A660 - 18 BIOS update & fails (re-visited) HARD drive recovery

  Referring to an old thread from my friends...

  I tried earlier to update the BIOS of v1.80 for v1.90 (whether by the automatic update tool Service Station and the direct download of the update of the BIOS).

  Whenever the update of the BIOS ran, he abandoned arguing that the battery was low (it was not), alternating current was not on (it is) and the existing BIOS version was superior to the new version (it wasn't).

  The real problem seems to be that the version of the BIOS (as shown in "Toshiba HWSetup") is:

  + The BIOS version = V234567890. 00/00/00000000000 +.
  + Version EC = 1.80 +.

  However, in the Diagnostic PC Toshiba tool the BIOS version on the page of basic information is correctly reported as 1.80

  At the point where I couldn't be worth blat my disc with the original image and try again. I was hoping that Toshiba would set the BIOS update to fix the problem. Didn't happen.

  They released v2.00 BIOS in June 2011 and would not always up to date. So I backed up my data and tried to blat of the machine to factory State. What a nightmare...

  The recovery image doesn't work well at all!

  The first bit works (the original partition creation and image copy), but after the startup of Windows and the script factory Toshiba intervenes, all sorts of problems begin.

  First of all, the thing stuck several times in a process of "assessment of system performance. This happens in several phases of reboots because the drivers are installed. Then there's a bunch of bug script error messages and DMI analyze the errors you will need to click on ' close and do not report the crash "type dialog. What makes it more difficult is that the Toshiba factory configuration script sets up a blank page trying to see you on what the bureau is to be avoided. Even if you try to pass in the Manager of tasks to complete the process deadlocked, it gives you a few seconds grace before forcing the Office to lock and hide behind the white screen again. If you're quick and good time, you can stop the evaluation of performance at a standstill (I think it's just the thing to the Windows Experience score). Same thing to reject the other boxes of error...

  Finally, I arrived at the end of the script and the machine was built with all of the original software.

  The program HWSetup still reports the version of BIOS of nonsense and the PC Diagnostic tool always reports it correctly.

  The Service Station program now does not even start. It crashes with a message + "request the Toshiba Service Station could not initialize. Try to restart or reinstall the application. » +. I downloaded the last being on the website and installed... To be hosted later with the same message.

  Program update direct BIOS for v2.00 made his usual thing you ask that the current BIOS version is greater than 200 and abandonment.

  I even read in a FAQ that some recovery routines do not work correctly with more than 4 GB of RAM (I have 8 GB). So I did all of this once again with only 4 GB installed and the script was just as broken for 4 GB 8 GB.

  I ran PC complete diagnosis for machine test suite and it turned up nothing.

  A little confused now... Maybe time to log a failure while I have a few more months of warranty left. But the machine actually works, just can't update the BIOS. Would be my luck if a problem arose just after the warranty has expired, and they said 'just update the BIOS...

  In front of me, I 3 laptop years. Over the past three years, Toshiba has offered 3 BIOS updates. I don t care about it and still use the original version that I got with my laptop. I want to say, why change anything and start this risky If update everything works fine and it does.

  Several times I have read here that people write about the problems of updating the BIOS and damaged BIOS. This risk does not apply to me just having the latest version.

  Anyway, if you want to have all past orders on your laptop, it is without a doubt your legitimate right. In General, the BIOS updates are tested before Toshiba offers for download so I really put t understand why you have this kind of problems. The problem with the installation of recovery is also strange.

  A few months ago, a friend of mine bought A660 and I helped him create recovery DVDs, and we also tested the recovery procedure everything including the three options:
  Back to out-of-box state
  Recover without changing the hard drive partitions
  Get a custom size partition

  Everything worked perfectly so I m really confused about everything you write.

  Unfortunately, I can't help you with this. When I could have your laptop in front of me to see exactly what is happening, it will be much easier to understand all of this.
  I updated the BIOS on different laptops, and I got lucky because every time that everything was fine.

  Your laptop is guaranteed valid so I recommend you contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for assistance.
  What do you think about this?

• HARD drive recovery - Satellite P300-1GQ

  Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  I ve used Toshiba HDD Recovery Tool and it only formatted the C partition leaving unchanged D partition. Vista works well, that all data on the D partition. I could just format the partition D, but the problem, is that the titled HDD recovery folder is stored on the D partition. Back in 2009 when I bought my laptop, I created the HDD Recovery DVD s by following the instructions. I could use and format the entire hard drive, but the information that I got from tech support in my country told me that the new record of recovery disc HARD would not be created.

  I want to just wipe the drive and do a fresh install with new file recovery HARD drive on the drive D partition, in short: right now. Is it possible or not?

  > Is it possible to perform software factory default recovery or recovery of State out-of-box for my laptop Satellite P300-1GQ?

  It is possible:
  In doing a recovery of HARD drive or using the recovery disk

  As far as I know using the recovery disk disk HARD integer could be formatted and create return to the same State as at the first day of the purchase, it would mean that the folder of HARD disk recovery and HARD drive recovery option should be available even if you use the recovery disk!

• Satellite A500 keyboard/mouse gel pad - slider and type the inadmissible spaces

  Problem with my new laptop, several times, that the cursor has become inadmissible for the mouse pad, and everything that is on the screen does not recognize me typing on the keyboard. This seems to happen while I'm using the mouse pad.

  I got the mouse pad power button thinking it may have been moved, but it does not affect the lack of reaction.

  Could I perform certain functions I don't know? Any other ideas?

  It is not easy to understand what the problem is here and try it all, it is possible to control these issues.
  With original preinstalled OS touchpad should work except that it has disabled with FN + F9 key combination or small button.

  This with typing is also a bit mysterious to me. If you use multiple windows (several different applications) be sure that you try to type when the window is active.

  Please don't get me wrong but the best thing you can do is to ask for help somewhere. Best address is Toshiba service. They can put the mobile on the desktop and check what is happening exactly.
  Here on this virtual world, I can just say: If you want to test on the right way to reinstall OS using the HARD drive recovery image (factory State) and test the functionality again. By default, everything should work well. If this is not the case, there must be a hardware failure.

• Satellite A500 - HARD drive recovery option is no longer available at the F8 Menu

  Hello, this my phone trees.
  I reset my Satellite A500 and due to a power failure reset did not finish. When I have inexplicable with F8 I can see HARD drive recovery option, and then must log on my account that I did not at all because of the power failure.
  Then I installed a copy of Vista retail, hoping to create an account and be able to retrieve from the HARD drive.
  PROBLEM! : Now I don't see the "Recovery disk" option at all.
  QUESTION: There must be a way to integrate this option in the windows Startmenu (F8). Can someone help me with this issue? I burn the DVD recovery and the recovery partition is still there.
  Thanks in advance.

  More big mistake made you ve, it's that you don't l l create recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba.

  Why you didn t ask how it works before you do anything?
  You've misunderstood with username and account.

  Now, when you use your own installation, you need to remove the option for installation of HARD drive recovery and the recovery image can be installed with recovery only DVDs.
  Now, you have two options:
  -to order the new recovery DVDs or
  d ' use the clean install of the OS.

  What do you think of this?
  To be honest, I think you need to use Windows 7 on this laptop.

  I recommend you to install Win7. Download page for all the necessary drivers, you can find and download from Toshiba

  If you have more questions or need help please let me know.

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L70-A-139 youcef.
  And at the back of the laptop, there is a cover that is fixed with a screw.

  Wil I void the warranty when I unscrew and take a look?

  No, the mandate must still be valid.
  There is a removable cover at the bottom of the unit as shown here:

• Satellite A50: Question about type RAM and HARD drive

  Anyone out there who would try to open their laptop Toshiba Satellite A50, what type of RAM and hard disk of brand you all have inside?
  All the portable toshiba comes with Toshiba RAM and hard drive?

  Hello

  As far as I know the Satellite A50 uses DDR PC2700 modules. These modules must be compatible:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
  1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)

  There are different models of Satellite A50, but I think that there should be a drive HARD IDE(ATA-6) 60 GB 4200 RPM with 8 MB buffer size.

  Here is all the information I found.
