• Satellite A500 - 14 k - HARD Drive LED indicator always flashes

  Hello

  First sorry for my bad English

  I'm french and I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 14 k (http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A500-14K/1072806)

  I have a little problem with this laptop and I don't know if anyone has a solution

  The HARD drive light flashes constantly (1 blinking per second) even in safe mode. I checked some forums and I learned he had something to do with the function of autorun cd /dvd CD/DVD recorder.

  If the autorun feature is disabled in the windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\CDRom and the key value goes from 1 to 0) the flashing disappears, but I can't access my data from CD or DVD (media are marked as empty). However, the audio CD and video DVD work except that they cannot be started automatically.

  The same thing happens if the CD/DVD writer is disabled in the control panel Device Manager: the led indicator has a normal activity.

  I would like if this problem occurs with other owners of this product and if there is a solution to use normally without this flash recorder

  Thank you

  I don't have A500 but A300 and I can't say with certainty why this and what kind of HARD drive activity is ongoing, but what you can try is to remove some pre-installed Toshiba stuff like TEMPRO or pre-installed application antivir.

  When the laptop is new days that many updates will be installed and in the background is always a certain activity. Automatic update is disabled?
  Try also to remove TEMPRO. This tool is active permanent and search for updates.
  Try to optimize the operating system preinstalled and carefully monitor if something will change. I always do after clean operating system installation.

• Satellite A500-1F4 - flashing Ac & battery LED

  Hello

  My computer was works perfectly, last week I tried computer but I found both the white LED for AC and amber LED for battery Flash - when I press the power, nothing happens just white no screen no sound comes from the computer - then I took the battery and tried again to put the power cord - this LED is now stable , but nothing once again, when I press the power switch. any suggestion?

  There must be some problem with electronic control gear.
  Unplug the power plug, remove the battery and let cell for awhile. Later, press the power button and hold it for 15 or 20 seconds. After having done that connect the power supply only and try to boot up your laptop.

  What happens when you do this?

• Satellite A500 - unable to connect to the WLan

  I'd like someone to help me.

  Have recently bought a satellite A500.
  I'm new in the world of laptops so I'm wrong.
  I connected to a router via a modem, the two netgear, the news.

  Had the two config for my network. Works well as long as ethernet is connected to the router of computer.

  My wireless icon on the front of the laptop is orange.
  If this should be green as the router?

  Pressing FN f8 it tell me wireless is connected.
  When I remove the ethernet cable it tell me to fix the problem, I need to plug in the ethernet cable.
  But I want to go wireless, I'm sure I'm missing something.

  Rang netgear but after that my router and it is not connected to wireless technology they could help me more.
  I use windows7.

  Thanks to anyone who can help me.

  > My wireless icon on the front of the laptop is orange.
  > Should it be green as the router?

  The WLan led can only be ON or OFF. If the light comes on (any color) then it means that the Wlan switch is on!

  It seems that the WiFi is enabled. In this case, you will need to properly configure the WiFi network.
  You can use the own WLan settings in Windows or a Wlan configuration tool like Intel ProSet utility.

  First need choose the right SSID (wireless network name), right of encryption (WEP, WPA, etc.) and password encryption.
  Please note that all of these parameters should be the same on the router WLan and WLan configuration software!

  Please check if the firewall does not affect the connection to the internet as well!

  PS: make sure you use the latest version of the WLan driver
  Here you can find the drivers:

• Software went on Satellite A500 / Satellite A80 on net, but no page to enjoy

  Hi Forumites,

  I tried my darndest to understand how a computer can possibly correctly synchronized with the user, when there is no book of instructions on how to load all software assumes that this computer comes with.

  I can't connect my phone and the A500 together via bluetooth. The stickers on the underside of the state machine that this service is available on this computer, but when I followed the 'No', help files (Control Panel, type in bluetooth and click on things) options 'help' gives me simply do not exist.

  The specification of State as this computer comes with software Picasa (photo editing), but where is it exactly? It certainly isn't in the list programs, it is not mentioned in the help files, it's not coming up with a response to your research of the c: drive.

  The support phone number is constantly engaged. My call is answered Yes, he then puts me in a constant loop of extremely boring "blah blah blah blah" on how it is great to own computer said, from time to time asking me to leave my number so that they can remember. Hello! My number is unlisted. How can you possibly do that?

  How the "environment pretty firey mentioned in religious texts" is one supposed to get in? Oh Yes. The FAQ. A list long and really quite useless responses to questions stupid all Richard Head would know. Yes, I realize it people out there are not qualified to operate a clock radio, but really...

  And on another note:

  My A80 now has an internet problem as well. I can connect to my router wireless just peachy, but IE keeps telling me that it is not connected, no matter what I do. It is only since the Cup on the net wirelessly with the A500. Can only 1 computer display Web pages at a time via a wireless router? I have to network together to use the net?

  Please help this slightly above computer illiterate person who might be wrong but to go a little crazy!

  Something good comes however to upgrade:
  I now have fewer USB ports and more unnecessary ports that I never use.
  I can watch TV on my little computer and let my redundant huge TV (which seems just weird for me, but hey, I'm slightly mental don't forget).
  My computer will recognize my fingerprint - call me 007 - and not a password.
  He will recognize that this is me sitting in front of it, but not in low light, without my glasses, or if I change my hair color.
  He will play with the blue rays and as well as those who do not have blue rays of the disc (... may the force be with me... or not...) Don't matter).
  He's playing monopoly, but only for 60 days.
  It doesn't let me get caught, but only for 60 days,
  He will keep me safe to nasty viruses, but only for 60 days. Wonder if this includes the pork / chicken flu virus?
  I do have some heavy manual or breakable disc in the file. But then I did not all the instructions, and if I want a disk to reboot, I have to find a way to do it myself. Wonder if it will restart with an old copy of the Greatest Hits of David Bowie?

  Hi mate

  Your ad is really long, and to be honest you come in on various issues
  This confusion of s

  Anyway you asked if the Satellite A500 laptop supports Bluetooth.
  Well, if there is a BT label on the bottom of the unit and then the BT module is installed.
  To allow BT, it must use the FN + F8 key combination. This allows to switch between WiFi and Bluetooth!
  Holds more are mentioned in the user manual!

  With regard to the pre-installed software:
  I think that the Picasa2 software is preinstalled and you should see a shortcut on the desktop.

  Regarding the WiFi connection:
  The Wlan router supports a range of IP addresses, and generally, you can connect different devices to the Wlan router. The IP address should be assigned automatically.
  So, you can connect two laptops at the same time!

  Check the manual of your router WLan for more details!

• Satellite A500-148 turns on but does not start

  Hi all, I have a Satellite A500-148 from a friend who asked me to take a peek, it turns on, but does boot when I press the following power button occurs:
  -The power button and the charger are on and the hdd led only flashes once
  -The fan comes on for about 3 seconds
  -No image on the screen, I indicated a light against it, but there is really no image

  Tried to reset by pressing the button for 30 seconds without the changer is plugged.

  I disassembled it and noticed that this laptop has an external video card, so my question is, who's broken the video card or the motherboard.

  Thank you

  To be honest I don't understand this with an external video card. Can you describe how you mean exactly?
  In any case, on this virtual path, it is not easy to offer the exact diagnosis. You can try the little test and remove this external adapter, RAM and HARD disk, and try to start again.

  Ask your friend if he had something that may be responsible for this.

  One last thing: laptop stays in r might have turned off after a certain time?

• 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 - nothing appears on the screen of laptop

  My laptop is a Satellite A500 and I had for about a year and a half, he has never dropped or slammed, and up to this point, it worked correctly, most of the time.

  One night, I unplugged and turned it off and the next morning, the display would not work. There was no flicker and the display had never before gone so far here. Curiously, some of the LEDs on the laptop keyboard area stopped work as well, such as the light touch pad, the volume key, etc..
  However, the webcam and power/network lights still work. In addition to these problems, everything still works and I can still use an external monitor, such as a monitor.

  Based on these details, does anyone have an idea as to what is the problem? Or how I should go about fixing it?

  If there is no reaction on the screen there must be a problem with the LCD connection to the motherboard.

  Without accurate diagnosis, it is not easy to say exactly, what may be defective. Fact is that all these symptoms say there must be a hardware problem and you should clear it with Toshiba service.

  Warranty is still valid?

• Satellite A500/031 to TV via the HDMI screen shows connection pink

  Hello

  I have connected my laptop Satellite A500/031 to my Grundig LCD TV, however the image shown on the TV screen has a pink background and color pink. The situation is clear with a good resolution, with the exception of the rose. Other devices that I have connected with the same HDMI cable in the same ports on the TV work OK, it's just the laptop.
  Hoping someone can help.

  Thank you
  EVVY

  Hey Buddy,

  Have you tried another HDMI cable? If this is not you should do this and choose a cable of high quality for a good image quality.

  Also try to reset display driver settings as Akuma has suggested. In addition, you can also update your display driver. The latest version, you can always get on the official website of Toshiba.

  Have you noticed this problem on another TV too?

  In addition, what is much better video card? NVIDIA GE force or ATI Radeon? The A500 and L505 have the same capacity 1 GB graphics card, the difference of the brand.

  Thank you.

• Satellite A500 - does not start correctly

  Hi guys,.
  Sorry if this is a re-post, but I couldn't find any information.

  Basically, I went to turn on my computer laptop thisarvo and the led lights up and stays on, the HARD Drive LED lights for a second and the fan starts a second but then the laptop is right there with a white screen and the power light on.

  I managed to get it started once and restored to factory settings. Stop it, went to restart and its still doing the same thing.

  Any help will be much apreciated.

  + model - Satellite A500/02 PSAR9A - S 02 001 +.

  Hey Buddy,

  Hmm... I think it sounds like a hardware malfunction and Windows installation should not affect the start-up of the laptop. Right now equipment is checked and starts and it has nothing to do with the version of Windows installed.

  Here in the forum FAQ/How-to section, I found an interesting announcement and it might be useful for you:

• Satellite A500 - screen is completely black

  I got my laptop Satellite A500 for about 4 months and already there is a problem with it.

  After that I had played a few MMO on it for a while so I decided to power out of the night. The next day I started my A500 and there was a completely gray screen and I waited for at least half an hour before holding the power button for 6 seconds just to restart, so when my A500 started to the top of the screen was completely black, but the power LED light was off, but the only lights which were the key commands on the Panel next to the screen and the power light to indicate that it carried out.

  After several tries, the problem had been held, is anyway to fix this?

  Hi mate,

  Have you plugged an external monitor? I mean without it it's hard to say what causes this problem, but I guess that he associated material s. So if the external proceedings, I think that only the internal display is the cause maybe the FL inverter?

  Anyway, in both cases you need assistance from an authorized service provider. Guys can check your laptop and fix it for you. :)

• Satellite A500-19W: How can I activate button light button mute?

  Anyone know how I can activate the switch Illumination in a mute button?
  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19W, with win 7 installed.

  I have 8 keys as usual (eco, CD/DVD, play, previous, next, illumination and sound - and +)
  The light switch controls all the LEDs on the laptop and I find it useless. Is there a way I can turn into button mute?

  I found a way to control through toshiba Deputy-> optimize-> support button, but I do not know what data to enter.
  When I choose the illumination button under the name of power button, I have to fill the description, option and target path field for the mute button. Any idea which must be entered in these areas?

  Thanks in advance

  To be honest, I think that it is a very useful option, because in a certain situation you can toggle light very quickly and do not start multiple tools to achieve this.
  Please note that you can use the mute box very quickly by using the FN + ESC key combination.

  In any case, I ve experienced follow:
  After the installation of own added value package I pressed the button to light for the first time and I had small window with the Toshiba button assignment tool message you pressed the button has not been configured.
  I ve set my preferred option and got the following with window
  + Are you sure that you want to set the button for this function? Once you set the button, you can not change this default unless you reinstall Button Toshiba Support. +

  So I think you know what you need to do now and try to change it.
