• Satellite A500 - crackling sounds and blue screen

  Hey everybody.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19w about 4 days ago (today it is Sunday, March 7, 2010).

  I had the sounds of crackling of my speakers which have been mentioned so many times in the forums, no real solution.
  I also experienced the crash of the blue screen, that's already happened 7 times while I was not strongly using my newly buy laptop.
  I'm not looking for a repair or a replacement, because I find it quite unacceptable to have to think about the errors, faults & fixes as much as the laptop is brand new.

  What I want is a refund, but I'm not sure on how to do it.

  I know that Toshiba has some sort of refund policy, but if someone can tell me exactly how it works, because I want to get rid of my laptop as soon as possible (I will not buy any more portable Toshiba, especially since I had some similar problems with my Qosmio f30).
  If someone can give me some guidance, because I don't want to be mocked or used and cheated out of refund.
  I bought my Toshiba in the Middle East (perhaps refund policies are different here).
  Thank you.

  Hi mihran.

  If you want to pay off your laptop, you should talk with your computer store where you bought it. Only the can repay your laptop and not Toshiba directly.
  Of course it is also depending on the country where you life, but normally you can pay within 14 days I think. So in your case I speak with the seller or give them a call. They explain how to do this.

  But let me give you a little advice: regarding your problems with the crackling sound and blue screen I recommend that you contact an authorized service provider or ask a new A500 (this should be possible if you have only 4 days). Generally, I can say that a friend of mine has Satellite A500 and he is quite satisfied with her. This laptop has a great design equipped with new material for a good price. :)

• Satellite A500-1HK hangs on StarCraft 2

  Hello

  I bought Satellite A500-1HK just two days ago and almost immediately install StarCraft 2 :)
  (This game was one of the reasons for me to buy this laptop and I decided that instead of a Sony Vaio one.)

  The first time, I was surprised (I had Satellite A200 - 1 M 5 before, and the comparison was really interesting.) But, unfortunately, a few seconds after I start playing the computer freezes, the image was distorted on the rectangles, and I couldn't do anything, no mouse, no keyboard. Then, continuously press the power button to turn off. After that nothing has changed - activated the PhysX, vertical sync, but nothing helped. Even when I look at the reruns - it freezes just after a few seconds, and at every reboot, or I have to force it to stop.

  And a few minutes ago is the same thing I downloaded files via FTP, no games or 3D graphics. And which really scared me :(

  I think the problem with the driver for the graphics card, but I'm not very good material. So, please, help me.

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hi pesho_h_k,

  I think that you simply update the display driver or there is an update (patch) for StarCraft 2 I n t know because I n t have this game and laptop.

  Simply visit the Web from Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads

  Before installing newer display driver, remove the old version and restart the computer. After that, you can install the new display driver.

  In addition if you play games, it is also important that you use the latest version of DirectX.

• Windows Calendar all day event problems

  Windows Calendar has a default value of 12: 00 to 12: 00 on all the events of the day.   When I get the all-day event to say 05/02/2011 to 07/02/2011, it appears on the calendar itself as 05/02/2011 to 06/02/2011. So instead of being visible Saturday to Monday included, it shows that Saturday to Sunday - leaving white date Monday.   The only way that he will reveal on Monday, is if I change the date that is in fact the Tuesday 08/02/2011.  Is there a way to stop what is happening?

  Hello

  This is normal and you should send feedback if you wish, it changed in future versions of Windows:

• Re: Satellite A500/026 get frozen and cannot close

  Satellite A500/026, I bought a month before, and actually use days perhaps only 14 days.

  That books get frozen after 5 minutes and can't stop, no matter what you do.
  I made the recovery of factory default. the first can not finished and frozen in the State. over twice the recovery, but the jelly still happens after 5 to 10 minutes. I don't know why these things happened on a brand new computer. What them to prove the quality for the Toshiba?

  Site Web de Toshiba have also any number of phone customer feedback or complaint hotline.
  I swear that not more product Toshiba for me, also include my family and all my friends.

  Hello

  I have no idea of what has happened with your laptop, but according to your assignment, the laptop freezes even using HARD drive recovery.
  In your case it s recommended to contact the ASP (certified partner) in your country. The laptop seems to be covered by the warranty that is why everything should be done for free.

  The ASP database in the world can be found here:

• Satellite A500 is too hot

  Hello

  I got what I call a sort of problem.
  For awhile now, my laptop (A500 - 14L) become sometimes too hot and turns off automatically. I discovered that it was specifically the left side of the computer (I guess, display driver) which was raging upwards and can sometimes get to use the computer for a long time if I put only halfway on a table (left side on anything...)

  Today, I tried to buy a cooler (logitech) and tried to play starcraft 2... Well, I can simply! .... Cooler is not enough, and, according to a software that I just downloaded, GPU quickly rises to more than 100 ° C and 230 ° F. It's too hot I guess, but I don't know what to do? What more that a cooler could buy? Is - this usual? My GPU is an Ati Radeon 4650
  I thank very you much for any help. As you may have guessed, it's pretty frustrating...

  How much time do you have your Satellite A500?
  I can imagine cooling grill is full of dust and maybe the laptop needs to be cleaned.

  You can use some additional coolers, but if the cooling rack is blocked by dust it help at all.

• 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 A500-17 X restarts all by playing games

  Hi all
  I've had my toshiba satellite a500-17 x for about two years, I bought to play Starcraft and world of warcraft. Since I got it I had a problem with it. While playing games it would suddenly reboot the laptop. I contacted customer support and has it been reduced to see if they can find out what was wrong with her. They said that it was fine and it must be the games software that was causing the problem. (I don't think that this is the problem because I reinstalled all the software and the problem persisted)

  I felt they were trying to bluff me with this answer. They did not have an inspection into debt to try to resolve the problem or I thought that the model itself was wrong.

  In any case, I wanted to say that the laptop can sometimes play fine for hours, but other days it will crash repeatedly.

  I just want to point something; my graphics driver is updated. My vents are quite clear. The temperature is stable. I put the maximum power management. I play with a battery and the laptop is plugged. This happened also to a cold start.

  During the restart I don't give me any warning. The laptop turns just stop (no beeps, no blue screen) and restarts.

  I've never posted here before, and I would really appreciate your help.

  I know that this has been a problem in the past with this model that I searched the forums for solutions, but I can't find one.

  If you know a solution, I would be very grateful.
  Thank you

  Hello

  I fear that you will not be able to find a quick fix here Mr. all that you have done is just and you use your laptop on the right way.
  Have you noticed this problem while using laptop for daily activities or that comes into play only? Is original recovery image Toshiba preinstalled on your laptop or use clean install of the OS?
  >... I just want to point something; my graphics driver is up to date
  What it means? Using the Toshiba download page display driver or you have installed the driver on the graphics card manufacturer page?

• Satellite A500 - 19 X - where can I get XP drivers?

  Dear all

  Was that someone lucky enough to get all the drivers for this model to run on Windows XP? I only managed to get sound & lan - no luck with the graphic chipset (nvidia drivers on their website don't work) and others.

  Please please please help - honestly does not support Windows 7. Want XP on my laptop!

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Why you want to use this old OS (XP) on the new Satellite A500? Windows XP is spent and you should be happy with a preinstalled OS to Toshiba. ;)

  Normally, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba page:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  As you can see this model isn't XP supported. This means that you have to collect the drivers yourself. Look on external Web sites such as Intel, Realtek, etc or download you the drivers from another model that is equipped with a similar material.

  Good luck!

• Satellite A500 - Windows won't start, how to get back now?

  Hello guys,.

  Recently, a week, I bought a new Satellite A500 - 1HK. I installed everything and after I installed Office 2007, after restarting my PC put on the Windows 7 Logo. PLS, please note that at this time one had a connected external HARD disk. It was my first mistake.

  My second mistake was that after 5 minutes of inactivity, I turned off my PC (no closures) and that's it. My PC has crashed completely.

  My third mistake was that I did not since the recovery disks, and unfortunately I don't have the recovery CD. The recovery program his on a partition separate from my laptop. I tried to solve the problem as follows: I start the PC, press F8 and I went into the repair menu. The first time after the repair, nothing had happened. After that, I tried to go to the recovery option. I choose the American language and press ENTER. Nothing had happened. the screen displays an error saying: you must login to access the System Recovery Options. If you encounter problems to connect, contact your administrator to the computer for help. Click ok to restart the computer.

  The only thing I can imagine is that the recovery partition crashed also. What can I do now? I ordered alrweady the Toshiba restore CD and waits for the next 2 weeks.
  What is your opinion. That's happened? I hope that the rexcovery program will work with CD and I don't face any problem, no more.

  Thank you.

  Hey Buddy,

  > I have ordered alrweady the Toshiba Recovery CD
  So in my opinion, your question is already answered. Juice wait the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

  If work HDD recovery doesn't, your only option is the Toshiba recovery disc and now it s time to wait. I m you will get the disk as soon as possible.

  Good luck! :)
