• Satellite A500 - power problems while game

  I was wondering if Satellite A500 users have had the same problem as me. I got my laptop to 10 months and for the last 2 months I get really bad heating problems with my laptop. I have tried everything to clean the laptop with a can to purchase under product cooling fan air to try to stop the tap from the bottom during the game but no luck.

  I want to come to a point were I think that its time to back the laptop to toshiba and ask for a replacement or a new laptop as after spending nearly £700 for laptop Gamers its just not up to scratch.

  Any help would be most appreciated that I get at the end of my patience with her. Now stop playing Aliens Vs Predators live x 11 and the Lord of the Rings Online and Supreme Commander 2, name a few.

  Also, I was watching a DVD using the HDMI port and it did for me then also.

  Help, please.

  Hi HellspwanUK,

  So if your laptop stops all at stake, it would be interesting to know what OS you have installed what is driving display and you are using. This behavior is typical if you use nVidia display drivers rather Toshiba display drivers. The nVidia drivers don't have protection against overheating and different thermal management. This means that your graphics card would go on the highest level, so it might be overheating and closed.
  I would recommend most recent installation display driver official of Toshiba page for your model.

  And have you cleaned your laptop as described here:

  In addition, I would also check the BIOS. Have you installed the latest version of the BIOS?

• Satellite A500 / big problem with keyboard

  Hello everyone, first sorry for my English, I'm French!

  Anyway, since 2 days now my Satellite A500 has a big keyboard problem and I don't know how to fix it. I used it as usually, just cleaned each week arriving at work with a simple cloth and after starting my computer, when I started typing, I realized that the keyboard has disappeared as a "madman".

  Some keys are reversed, others like the space bar just doesn't work anymore, capslock button now unlock with the key has and another example, when I press D writes 'CD' and other stuff like that. It is simply impossible to type correctly. I'm running on Windows 7, I have the first test to look for any kinf of viruses, vain, so I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows 7, then after I did the update to the Bios and now everything is clear and clean, but the keyboard problem is still there.

  The fact is that I have this laptop since August 2009 and my warranty no longer applies, so before I should send my computer to any computer repair store I want to know if it's really a problem of keyboard/equipment which can be fixed, "softwarely" or if there is always some kind of alternative for me.

  Thanks to all for your future responses.

  Hello

  Crazy keyboard?
  Hmm. Don t think that it s software or related bios looks more keyboard problem.
  You can try to plug an external USB keyboard to check if the problem would be also available
  If it s not available using the external USB keyboard, then it s internal problem of keyboard and the part needs to be replaced.

  Keyboard replacement is not difficult. The keyboard is secured by two or three screws that are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons.
  Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, lift the keyboard, disconnect the cable (notice, two tiny locks on the connector needs to be moved).
  Then, you would be able to remove the cable of the flat keyboard which is connected to the mobo.

  But if you have no experience, then you this replacement must be done by laptop computer technician.

• Satellite A500 USB problem - unknown device.

  Hello

  Have a Satellite A500 I recently restored to factory from the recovery partition and reinstalled my Win7 upgrade.

  I have a couple of unknown devices in Device Manager and have no way of knowing what they are.
  They would normally be a problem for me except that I'm also the sounds of disconnecting USB every now and then and caveats relating to the devices being plugged into a port USB2 not high speed.

  I have of course plugged anything in time so I expect there is a device which is malfunctioning and not detected correctly.

  The devices I first suspected (webcam, TV Tuner, touchpad) all normally appear in Device Manager so I'm at a loss as to what is the cause.

  Any ideas?
  Beards

  Hello

  I understand this correctly?

  You restored the A500 to the factory settings using the Toshiba recovery procedure and the unknown devices still shows up in the Device Manager?

  That s strange because the recovery disk to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase. So generally unknown devices should not appear and all drivers must be installed correctly.

  However, I found an interesting and in my eyes useful HowTo document that should help you to know which drivers are missing in your case.

• Satellite A500/026: problems in streaming/watch online videos

  Hello

  I didn't know where to ask for help, so I thought start id here since I just bought my Toshiba A500/026

  basically im having problem watching/streaming videos online. regardless of the source of the video, youtube, megavideo, veoh. the problem is that I have to wait as the entire video to load and then it starts to play. I can't look at it that it broadcasts.

  It don't tell me his load, it shows just a black screen and then all of a sudden it goes to show that the bar is full and video starts, now it is on short vids because it does not take long, but for movies, it fails generally as they take too much time to load the site will usually come with a mistake.

  Now Ive got to look on the web and I can't find this problem else where, ive checked that I have the last abode flash installed and driver debugging. usually, I use firefox, but im getting the same problem on IE.

  any help would be approeciated.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Maybe you installed a few 3rd party applications that affect the streaming
  Mate sorry but I have no idea why you can not watch the movie, while streaming is running.

  Have you installed codecs?
  Maybe you should do that I m using the K - Lite Codec Pack.
  Try to install it and then check it again.

• Satellite M50 - Microphone problem

  no idea what can happen if I can't use the microphone on my M50?

  I tried all kinds of ways and different configurations of the properties of the record, but it still does not work. I don't think that there is a problem with the hardware (but still there) because I checked the drivers and all, and they were very good. check the microphone itself, it works fine on another computer. unless the micro jeck broke that sounds a bit unlikely.

  any suggestions I can try to find the problem?

  Hello, William

  Are you sure that your device has an internal microphone? In my opinion, there is no problem because, not according to the specification, there is no microphone on board.

  Start little app called sound recorder and then try to save something. If nothing can be saved there is certainly no microphone on board.

  Good bye

• Windows 7 on Satellite A500-1EE - problems with the system recovery

  After five years of good functioning sth went wrong. The system tries to boot but lack access to a device (HARD drive?). And then tries to download files to recover. After downloading the recovery fails and the only option is to shut down the computer. How can I recover this system?

  Recovery process is very simply.
  Did you create the recovery media (DVD)? If so you can use it for recovery image installation.
  Otherwise, you can use HARD drive recovery option (F8 > to fix your computer) and start the recovery image installation.

  Please test F8 option.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome.

Now, I've discovered that my microphone does not work. There is no problem in device, or with the driver manager. I hear that crackling noise when I try to enter any other micro device.

  Can anyone help please?

  How did you test the mic feature? With the help of tool tape recorder?

• Satellite A500 Win8 has encountered a problem during installation

  Hello
  Ive got a Satellite A500 and get at the end of the installation and its reversal to say he had a problem. Do you need to do something special?

  I looked on the site to support Toshiba win 8 and it does not show the Satellite A500 in one of the lists of supported or not supported for Win8 so because you did it gave me some hope.

  See you soon

  Hello

  Here you can find information on models of laptops that will make the Win 8 Toshiba Upgrade Wizard:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB2A03EU0000R01.htm

  Those notebooks of Win 7 will get Win 8 drivers.
  If your laptop is not mentioned in this list, then you will get no win 8 drivers.

  Of course, you can always install the 8 to win but you need find drivers manually in your own hand.

  Also check * Windows 8 Upgrade Guide *.

• Satellite A500 - 149 - graphics card problem

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-149 and last week my screen has scratches ace.

  The grapichs card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4650.

  I send the computer to Toshiba yesterday but I need feedback because a repair. If the same graph as problem could cost to repair?

  Anyone know?

  I think that no one here can help you. Either is defective graphics card or screen may only.
  In any case, if the GPU is defective, it will be quite expensive.

  I think you should contact Toshiba service and ask what is the result of the diagnosis and how much you have to pay for the repair.

• 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.

• Main problems of Satellite A500-15N Backspace

  My Toshiba Satellite A500-15N was purchased last October, so it is not exactly ancient. Suddenly, the BACKSPACE on my laptop doesn't work a couple of days. Sometimes it works just not all and at other times, I have to press very hard or press on the right edge of the key to make it work.

  The behavior makes me think that it is a hardware problem. Someone knows something similar? Is go to the Toshiba customer Service my best option?

  Yes. Your best option is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized maintainer. They allow to check the keyboard.
  If the keyboard is defective, I guess you will get a new and Exchange will be free.
