• Satellite A500 - switch WLAN and the FN keys does not turn the wireless

  I have currently problems try to activate the connection Wireless on my laptop. My laptop model is a satellite A500 PSAR9A O2J001. My laptop's physical wireless switch does not work and neither my Fn keys don't work (none of my function keys work not at all). It was awhile I saw an orange light next to my mobile switch indicating it was on, but one day, it's just off. Since then, I was not able to reactivate it after a lot of searching on Google, and this place is my last resort after doing so many things.

  Any help or comments would be appreciated, I am very desperate to solve this problem for studies.

  Your description is OK but rather general isn't easy to say with certainty what the problem is here.
  Is the card properly installed wireless (Device Manager)?
  FN keys work in general? You can use other keys FN + Fx? You see flash cards when you press the FN key? If so what options you see when you use FN + F8 (WLAN I think)?

  When you move position WLAN communication works and use the FN + F8 to what exactly happens?

  Hallo,

  All energy wlan settings I adjusted to full performance and now I have now idea how can I solve the problem.
  Do you have any ideas or advice?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  You must verify power WLan settings in Win 7 power management and need to disable the power save for WLan in battery mode

  I found a great HowTo but for Vista OS.
  But the settings are not really different.

• 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:

• Satellite A500 - 03P: unable to connect to the WLan using Win 7 + event message

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Satellite A500 with the offer included Windows7 while he was available late October 09.

  So I had the Toshibe DVD for the upgrade and followed the steps and Visa home premium upgrade to Windows 7. Now I have two questions.

  (1) I get a system event Notification after start, talk to me about the system event log. The full message is below.

  Unable to connect to a windows service
  Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification service. This problem prevents limited users to logon to the system. As an administrator, you can view the system event log to see why the service failed

  (2) I was able to use this laptop for the internet before the upgrade, both via a USB wireless drive as well to the office via a DSL modem.
  Now I can't access the internet after the upgarde of Windows 7!

  For example the Optus dial-up box pop up appears commandeLorsque I click on 'connect', it does not connect.

  Can anyone help please?

  Thank you
  C I

  Hey Buddy,

  (1) did you check the Configuration of the Service for this service? The Boot System Event Notification Service type must always be set to automatic. This service is absolutely necessary for Windows and shouldn't t be disabled or set to manual startup type.
  Check it!

  (2) to be honest I never heard on the internet BEFORE, but normally, it should also be possible to access the Internet with Windows 7.
  Make sure that the WLAN or LAN card is installed properly and check the TCP/IP settings. If you are missing some driver you can get on the page of Toshiba.

• Satellite A500-19N - Wifi disabled running Windows 7

  Hi @all,

  I have a laptop SATELLITE A500-19N. My wlan collapsed on the overalls. Windows (7 65 bit) card says I should activate the hardware switch and the wireless communication is disabled. What I did:

  Check the hardware switch: the Toshiba Assist and ConfigFree tool shows the switch works. If I press the switch of the tool recognices it. -> work

  installed a linux live cd ubuntu: order of SAI rfkill list all the software bolocked:no and blocked material: Yes -> using fn + F8 succsessfuly toggels software blocked.

  Windows: win + x opens windows mobility centen-> activate the wireless button is gray-> fn + F8 does nothing

  Windows: installed value-added Package installed, uninstalled, reinstalled-> no change

  activated the module with a module of 100% working-> the original toshiba module WiFi without problem in a nother notebook. If I put it in the satellite, it is blocked again. the other does'nt of work package also works in the satellite.

  So my question:
  What else is there for me to Test? This component can be defect? What should I do? With the help of a dongle Wifi works but thas not really a solution for me.

  Best regards, Matthias

  Hello Matthias.

  have you managed to solve this problem?
  I have exactly the same problem you described. Wireless interface is down all of a sudden using xubuntu, and I wasn't able to make it work again.

  Also disassemble the laptop to control the contactor, it works electrically ok.
  Tried to boot into windows and clear cmos. Did not work.

  I'll apreciate any comment.

• Satellite A500 - 19L - loss of a WiFi sygnal

  Hello

  After trying many solutions with and without success, I got here.

  Since 2009, I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 19L, but has the problem appear just a few weeks ago.
  Windows 7 is installed, Toshiba system recovery CD.

  Sometimes without reason, I lost my wifi connection and wifi may not be new launch (the witness about the orange button stop working). And I can't find THE solution to restart again.

  Then, as this problem appear weeks, I tested different solutions which worked sometimes but not all the time:

  -restart the computer
  -power wifi card
  -Reset toshiba card
  -power toshiba wireless card
  -system restore
  -restore the old driver

  Also, I formatted my computer once and the problem always appear...

  Recently (about 15 minutes) ago something very strange has happened, I was downloading (steamed) with the computer (WiFi) and the use of firefox. At one point, the wifi works plus as mentioned above, computer still worked but wasn't keyboard and pad "work (I was able to use the computer with my mouse)."
  Light on screen was put on low-level and fan not working not but computer was hot. Toshiba TEMPRO won't be lauch.
  Resemble toshiba applications did not work.

  So I tried different solutions from above, but nobody not exepted restart my computer allowed me to reuse of keyboard and tablet to work, but neither fan was working neither Toshiba Tempro, and wifi.

  Since I formatted my computer, I installed a clean version of windows + toshiba applications without unistalling applications.

  As this problem appear without reason, I can't find a real solution that can fix.

  Hope someone could help me.

  Sorry for my English, not native language...

  Hello

  You talk about the WiFi connection, but it would be interesting to know if the same problems using the local network.
  Have you tried this link?

  It's hard to say exactly why the problems of connection Wlan appears. There are different reasons for this. It could be the problem router Wlan or compatibility problem between the router and the wireless network card. Some routers and Wlan cards don t manage all types of encryption.
  In addition these interruptions may be related to interference and low signal.

  As I said above: you need to check if the same happens using the connection to the local network.
  Also recommend resetting the router and the parameters.
  Test WLan using different types of encryption. In addition, you can test the connection using WLan/no open. But do it only for testing purposes.

  Also turn off the TCP/IPv6 and use only TCP/IPv4 for WLan connection.
  I also recommend to renew the IP address. You can do this in console (type CMD in search to start the console) using the command IPCONFIG / renew

• 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 - 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.

• 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 A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

  Hi people,

  I need help please.

  My wireless adapter does not work.
  It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

  I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

  The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

  There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

  When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

  I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

  I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

  My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
  The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

  Hello

  Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
  Save the changes and restart the device.
  Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

  If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
  Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

  Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

  PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.

• Satellite A500 - 19(d) - blue screens and restarts suddenly

  I am the most unfortunate customer or this model again? No one has problems with the A500 - 19(d)?
  I bought, five days ago a new. First start: blue screen. Second: blue screen. Third: F8 safe mode → → can through the entire current configuration.
  Then start: party started. A few times the blue pro displays time and restarts. Tempro have 2 messages based: BIOS and WLAN driver update. Update BIOS message: your BIOS is newer or the same thing. Updated WLAN: no driver for my Realtek RTL819 * 1 * SE for Win7.

  Two days in vain have off turned parts and drivers downloaded. Third day: I have restored the laptop in its original original (thanks to the recovery of hard disk based) configuration and wanted to put back to give. But a small miracle happens (it's Christmas... or?)  :-)): no more blue screens. OK... just to start, it starts two or three times until OK and then just two or three times suddenly restarts a day. Yet once the drivers downloaded in vain. No change. Someone has an idea? It must be something wrong with the drivers in safe mode, that's OK. Again, there should be a driver it is loaded at startup (blue screen of the first and the second). I really like this laptop but have bought for work not for pleasure and, in this way, its quite risky, so I have to change them.

  Stand by. Maybe I've misunderstood something and have to ask you once again: have you noticed this BSOD problem with State factory and without additional software installation?

  Last month I had friends Satellite A500 for the test and I did not notice this kind of problems with original Vista and also clean install of Win7.
  If you really think that it can be risky for you I recommend you exchange it again.

• Satellite A500-1DN - high DPC latency resolved

  Hi all!

  All first of all sorry for the bad English!
  I am writing because this problem drove me crazy in the half of the year. I got cracking audio etc. thanks for the high dpc latency time but finally I managed to understand how to clear my A500 these boring of CPD points. I made these:

  1. update of the BIOS (1.90)
  2 use this VGA nVidia Driver: 257.21. Only this one works. I tried every existing. If you have another type of satellite, but a Geforce 230 M GT in there and you have high latency tell him!
  3. use wlan driver atheros version 8002580
  4. use optimzer wlan. Name: wopt021 (disable background scanning and enable streaming mode)
  If you use WiFi, jumping 3. 4.

  Now my A500 works correctly, I am really satisfied with it :)
  I hope that this guide will help all those who have the same problem!

  Good bye

  Hi atibrd,

  I'm happy to hear that you have found a solution to this "problem" but I must say also I never had problems with my Satellite A500 and I put t know what you mean with a DPC latency. I use my Satellite A500 with OS preinstalled Toshiba and the latest version of the BIOS. Everything works fine, even some newer games run great on it.

  In addition, with regard to the nVidia display driver I want to give you a little advice: be careful with 3 third party drivers, even from nVidia. No one from nVidia has tested this driver in particular on the Satellite A500. If the installation goes on your own risk because it doesn t have a protection against overheating.
  That's why I only use the drivers provided on the official website of Toshiba directly. They are tested and working 100% correctly.

  In any case, maybe for some people they have this DPC problem too it s useful. :)
