Satellite A500 and annoying problem HDMI

Hello world

I bought a Satellite A500 a year ago and I'm trying to use it with my Pannasonic Veria Plasma TV connected via HDMI. The way I use it is I leave the HDMI cable connected all the time and then swap between the use of the TV and my laptop. The problem I have is that it will not failover to the HDMI, I even try to disconnect the cable and by him plugging back in - then the screen turns off to switch but then it goes to the rear of the laptop screen.

After doing during up to 10 times it will eventually reverse but will then swap back to the laptop after about 10 seconds and that case I must keep trying until it finally works - VERY BORING

Hoping someone can help.

Thank you

And what happens when you start your laptop without HDMI cable connected?
Connect when the OS is fully charged, then when the active TV and HDMI port correctly, try to switch to TV ONLY using FN + F5.

It works or the same thing happens again?

I understand your question, but there is not a special solution. Connection HDMI either works or not.

By the way: do you use original with Toshiba drivers Toshiba (preinstalled OS) recovery image?

  • Satellite A500/A505 - some problems after the recovery process

    I recently used the my Satellite A500, A505 recovery partition to get rid of a particularly persistent virus after running several antivirus programs, all to nothing does not.

    Now the virus seems to have disappeared, but the computer doesn't seem to be in the State it was in immediately after its opening.

    Firstly, the resolution is such that the taskbar, menu start and the desktop icons are all much larger than normal.

    Secondly, it seems to be missing some graphics files enables it to play my games that I put on it from my backup (in other words, it is showing the bottom of the game screen and play music and SFX without showing the character sprites or the menu options).

    Thirdly, my Fn + F6/F7 does not allow me to adjust the brightness of the screen of the computer, the only way that I know how to adjust the brightness of a Toshiba laptop.

    EC who if anything, could I hurt in all this?
    What might be able to do to solve these problems?
    I don't have no internet right now, but I have a USB and eternal patience, so I can use another computer and transfer everything what you suggest on mine.

    Nevertheless, I prefer solutions that do not like it, if possible.

    Surely appreciated!

    To be honest I never heard of this issue.
    In my opinion you should try to make the installation of recovery one more time to check if the same problem occurs again.

    You have created recovery disks?
    If Yes use recovery disks for recovery image installation.

  • Satellite A500-18R - several problems

    Hello everyone.

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-18R (Windows 7 64 - bits) in January. During the first half of the year do not use it too, but in these last 3-4 months that I have experience several problems. I would like to know if anyone has experienced the same thing and also can help me:

    # When I turn off wifi antenna of the switch on the front of the laptop and afert I turn on again, if I'm trying to find a wireless network Windows tells me that the wireless feature is not active (I have to go to the control panel to reset the device)
    # When I play music from Windows Media Player, Winamp, Traktor... music sounds like 'idle '. I even tried plugging my (ESI U46 XL) external USB sound card, and the result is the same...
    # The laptop battery is consumed even turns off. I had many laptops and it never happened...
    # When I try to burn a blank CD, most of the time it does not recognize the drive as empty. I know that this is not a strange event, but I tested with many brands and acknowledged only very few (I think is not normal)
    # A another problem with DVD/CD player is that does not recognize me some original CD. The last problem I've had with a driver CD for my (unrecognized) external sound card.

    My laptop is still on warranty, but I would like to know if anyone has experienced some of that delivers or if the drivers update can fix.

    Thank you very much and sorry for my English is not very good.

    Hi Fran

    Please tell us if this Win7 is your own installation, or you guessed it with your laptop?

    I'll try to provide answers:
    # When you switch WLAN on, always check if the WLAN led is enabled. You can leave the WLAN switch on position and turn the WLAN MODULE by using the FN + F8 key combination
    # This phenomenon is not known to me, but what you can try is to check for his newest driver.
    # It is normal that, on the stack of the night, loses the ability a bit. If you leave for a longer period it can lose up to 25% of its capacity. No reason to panic.
    # I put t know what burning software do you use and what you do exactly. It is not easy to say what the problem is here.
    # some CDs is pretty General and statement not very good basis for the discussion. Which CD? Music CD, software CD? It may be that they are of poor quality and may not be readable. It is not possible to provide a precise answer to this.

    If you have a friend with very good PC knowledge to put your laptop in front of him and he let see what happens exactly.

    On this virtual path is not so easy to give accurate answers.

  • Satellite A500 and TV tuner feature

    Hi all

    I have a satellite A500 mahcine (PSAR9A - 01 H 001), who was supposedly a digital tv tuner integrated in it.

    When I got to the machine he had windows 7 home - which has been upgraded to the work for Win 7 teacher I needed access to the domain.

    The thing is that there is no sign in the hardware of a tv tuner card Manager and WMC reports no card installed.

    Ive tried to download and install the drivers from the toshiba site, but it's just runs and does nothing

    Someone told me everything clues how to get this running thing (if it actually comes out)

    Thank you

    Hello

    What do you mean with supposedly? Has your laptop TV tuner or not?
    I tried to find the exact specification for laptop, but unfortunately I didn't find it.

    I ve checked the Toshiba download page and wasn't able to find the driver TV tuner so I think that your model of laptop (PSAR9A) - 001 01 H has not.

    By the way: If your laptop is a TV tuner on the right side for laptop it should be placed taking TV tuner. It should be between the ports USB and DC Jack.

If not, t go into the advanced settings and check if you can find it here.

    Hello

    If all goes well he material s no problem, but I m afraid it could be
    I think it might be a hardware problem, because you said that you have already configured the laptop back to factory settings and this has not solved the problem.

    I understand this correctly? You used the recovery disc or HARD drive recovery?
    Is this good?

    What you could do is to check if your BIOS is up to date.
    On the European driver Toshiba page, you will find the latest version of the BIOS.
    Check if you can update the BIOS.
    In addition, I recommend setting the BIOS to default and settings to save the changes.

    At least a graphics card driver might be updated also. Its worth a check however, I m really not sure if this might help you

  • Satellite A500-1HK: some problems with ECO Utility, touchpad, GPU

    Hi all!

    I am facing some problems with my laptop A500-1HK AND I would like to have your opinion!

    last month, the eco Utility application cannot be activated from the special keyboard of the botton at the bottom of the keyboard, although Ihear special sound because its touch botton (so it works fine). I can activate only in the start menu and then the botton in the keyboard touch would become green.

    At the top of the touchpad (mouse), there is a botton that enable / disable the touchpad. It works again.

    A few times when I'm working, the screen turns black and then after 5-7 seconds, that it becomes normal with a message that nvidia GeForce GT 330Μ had stop working but now works well! (is it something serious?)

    On the taskbar, there is an icon with a yellow exclamation point indicating the function that intel RST does not work. What is c?

    Keep in mind I have install all the drivers to the latest version, but nothing has changed! I have windows 7 64 bit GR

    Thanks in advance!

    Go to-> programs and features Control Panel
    Here are looking for ECO Utility and uninstall this software and restart the laptop

    Then visit the Toshiba UE driver page and look for the ECO utility.
    Download the software and reinstall it.

    > A few times when I'm working, the screen turns black and then after 5-7 seconds, it becomes normal with a message that nvidia GeForce GT 330? a work stoppage, but now works fine! (is it something serious?)

    The same as the ECO utility. Uninstall the screen / graphic card driver
    Download the latest driver from the Toshiba page and install it

    > To the task bar, there is an icon with a yellow exclamation point indicating the function that intel RST does not work. What is c?

    TSRI means Intel Rapid Storage Manager. It contains the SATA driver for SATA HDD controller.
    In case this does not work, reinstall it again.

  • Satellite A200 and Win7 - problem loading the graphics driver

    Hi guys I have a problem with my Satellite A200 (PSAF6A).
    I installed windows 7 just now, now half the time when I start the computer it displays a message on windows encounters a problem loading the graphics drivers and the resolution is terrible. When I restart immediately, most of the time, it loads fine - no message and a good resolution. I tried many driver reinstall but it is always the case.
    Someone knows what's the problem? Is this with windows 7, or do you think the graphics card can be on the road to extinction?

    Thanks for your help, a lot.

    Hello

    It was ok before installing windows 7? I don't think it's a hardware problem. Have you installed the driver for the Toshiba driver page?

  • Satellite A500-134 fan problem

    Hello!

    I recently bought a laptop Toshiba A500-134, and I have two problems with that.
    First of all, the largest: fans will always practically. Currently, the temperature is the following (I checked with Everest):
    CPU: 37
    CPU 1 core: 36 c
    CPU core 2: 36 c
    DispIO GPU: 46C
    MemIO GPU: 44 c
    The laptop temperature: 34 c

    The speed of the fans (utility Toshiba): 73% and sometimes more (and this is waaay out loud)
    Is this normal? Tried another (same type) for laptop and seems he did the same things. He doesn't do anything, that the Vista desktop are running, and the fans are still ongoing.

    The second problem is a high tone sound from speakers. In my view, the processor to affect it. When I change the portable powersaving mode, the sound is silent, or it disappears.

    Hey Buddy

    To be honest I n t see a problem with the temperature of your fan or your laptop.
    CPU and GPU temperature appears to be low and there s nothing unusual.

    Cooling performance modules can be changed in Vista's power management:

    Recently I replaced the HARD drive in my A500 1 2 with WD5000BPKT with Advanced Format. When I try to restore the system of system restore Toshiba dvd I created, restart the computer after the installation of recovery and error message gives:

    File: \windows\system32\DRIVERS\LPCFilter.sys
    Status: 0xc0000428
    WIndows cannot verify the Digital Signature of the driver.

    Boot Manager Windows "screen" always comes to the top and Windows does not start.
    1. ask a windows installation disk-thought, it was given to Toshiba Recovery DVD I burned.
    2 Chosse language settings - click next
    3. click on "repair your computer."

    How to restore my system?

    Hello

    To be honest, it's the first time I see this error message.
    Are you sure that the new HARD drive is OK?
    Maybe installation issues concern the new installed HARD drive?

    It would also be possible that your recovery DVDs was not created properly
    Who knows that anything is possible

    In your case, I recommend to check the HARD drive first. The test of HARD disk drive is an excellent tool. Select this check box. Its freeware

    If the tool would not detect any errors, then you should try to install a Windows operating system by using a different disk, you can also order a new disc of recovery from here:

  • Satellite A500-1pj - no image on LCD TV via HDMI

    Hello world

    got a new Satellite A500-1pj and tried to connect it via HDMI with my Toshiba LCD TV 42XV635. Incredible, but it does not work.

    What is happening is that the TV detects the laptop and the screen goes black but no office or something else appears. If I go to extended or clone I got it on the screen of the laptop, but not yet on the TV. Already tried three different cables, disabled/enabled almost every setting on TV, I tried new drivers, different resolutions,...

    The only thing that works is to reduce the resolution to 1024 x 768, but even here the image is not that good (blue pixels across everything on dvd). So far, no response from the Toshiba support. Anyone here who has an idea?

    Thank you!

    Hi abra_xas,

    It s interesting but I can't find any information on your operating system, but it would be interesting to know because I m sure that it s just a software or driver problem. I also have Satellite A500 and often connect to my LCD TV, but I never had any problems with it.

    Usually if you connect two devices, use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between monitors.

    Is also important that you use a high quality HDMI cable and connect both devices to first before you switch them on (TV should be switched on first and select the right channel).
