Satellite A500 - mousepad crashes whenever I go on the internet

• Skype crashes whenever I connect to the internet.

  Hello, I have been using Skype for a while now, but recently I had problems with it working properly.

  I am able to log well, but as soon as I connect, Skype says it has encountered a problem and it stops. I tried to uninstall and reinstall, the "name change Skype to old_skype' thing, glancing at my firewall and my anti-virus setting but have no luck fixing. I was however able to connect when I put my phone in airplane mode, but as soon as I took contact with wifi, it stops again. I have a suspicion that it may be related to when the window update a couple of days, but I have really no piece of evidence to support this theory.

  If anyone has any ideas to help solve my problem, I would be very happy. Thank you for your time.

  Open the Windows event-> custom views-> administrative events Viewer. Look for error messages recent with timestamp corresponding to Skype crash. Copy and paste here the text on the general tab.

• Satellite A500-1DN - crashing everything by playing games

  Hi all

  About 2 months ago, my friend bought a Toshiba satellite A500-1DN. After about 2 weeks, she decided to put 2 games on it (guildwars and jedi knight academy). We quickly realized that after about 1 hour of playing, the computer would crash to a black screen, rather than return to a blue screen of death. That meant there was no indication of what was causing the problem specifically and no dumps mini windows...
  Having trouble with these specific games myself on Windows 7, I thought about the games.

  A week later, she spent an hour watching videos to youtube to see his computer crashed in the same way as the game. So I put some on the computer diagnostic software. CPU / GPU overheating? But nothing, the temperatures are stable and supported and certainly wouldn t have been the cause of these accidents, unless I unfortunately missed the point where he did more heat cache-shoulders so I not outrule not he...
  Because of the problem it seems to be up to now video related, I downloaded the new nvidia drivers (unfortunately the official ones didn't work and I had to search a custom .inf file). It does not solve the problem, but the driver seemed to work adequately well.

  In our anger, we have sent it back stating that it would be cooling the laptop, that is to say of copper was not sufficient for the graphics card and Toshiba said they had cleaned up the computer until replaced thermal paste, typical stuff all... which seems very fair. We returned it. We played a game and it crashed within 10 minutes. Perhaps even worse than when he left.

  Is there anything that could cause this problem - video related activities causing crash computer without going to the BSOD or return specific errors. What is RAM? I even uninstalled protection HDD thinking it could be the source of compatibility problems.

  I need advice.

  The spec is:
  Intel core 2 DUO T6600 CPU 2.20 GHz processor
  NVIDIA Geforce GT 230M
  4 GB OF RAM

  Hello

  This only happens if you play games or Surf Internet, office, etc.. ?

  The games aren't supposed to, but if they are a bit older, they are not compatible with Windows 7 maybe. Did you check that?
  Also look for a patch for the games. You can get it on the site of the factory.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know what you get exactly the code bluescreen. For the most part the stop codes you can find more information on Microsoft Knowledge Base.

  In most cases these bluescreens correspond to the drivers or hardware. If all Toshiba drivers are installed, check the RAM with Memtest86 diagnostic tool.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite A500-19U - need help for games and the AC adapter / CC

  Heys guys.

  I got my new Satellite A500-19U and install games on it like COD4, assassin Creed, Batman, Mafia 2 .and much

  All of these games crashes & freezes after screen black or white, 3-5 Min & gimmea and this happenWHILE CONNECT the AC ADAPTER to charge the battery. While using the battery just fine, except some crashes after a long period of palying. Some time, he said (the display driver not responding) & sometimes the screen black or white. The only way to recover the laptop is ALT + CTRL + DELETE and wait until the game to recover & cases laptop stop responding & the only way is to hard reboot.

  The only one that works such fine bit is Battlefield Bad Company 2. Then I change the DirectX (setting.ini) of car in DirectX9.

  SP please any help on this matter. I think it's a video driver or a Windows 7 problem. And the specifications are:

  Processor: Inter Core 2 Due P7450 2.13 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB DDR3
  VGA: Nvidia Geforce G210M with the driver from the Toshiba Site has also tested the latest driver from Nvidia Site Version: 258.96
  OS: Windows 7 64-bit [pre-installed]

  I think that its not big problem for Toshiba co.  :)

  Hi mate

  I think that it is a nuisance driver in most cases not entirely compatible graphics cards drivers are the reason why games dishes t working correctly.

  What to say; I think that the update of the driver is the key
  You will need to find a good driver version
  Toshiba pilot European page you can find the latest drivers published by Toshiba
  But this does not mean that these are the most recent drivers released by nVidia or ATI
  nVidia or ATI drivers are always different

  In order to check the drivers from nVidia page too.
  You can also try the version published on the Web site www.omegadrivers.net or www.laptopvideo2go.com
  But note; These are not tested drivers and use is at your own risk!

• Satellite A500 - 15 M: unable to connect to the TV with HDMI

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A500 - 15M. I recently tried to connect to my TV so I could watch certain shows online on my Hannspree Xv HD ready TV.
  The HDMI out does any record on the TV - the TV displays a message "not supported" and remains off (as if there is no signal) - display settings on the PC it does not recognize the TV... actually it [Intel Graphics and Media Control Panel] indicates that the TV/monitor settings are not supported.

  But I can connect via the VGA output - although I have to delete the display settings to 1024 x 768 to show on TV. In addition the display on the TV then is mainly pink and red, even if my pc display peak is most often blue. -start of the Toshiba screen displays on the TV, without any problems and one or twice the login screen was displayed too much, but then sometimes it isn't...
  I know that's not the VGA cable as I can connect to the TV with it on netbook advent my wife without any problem.
  Are there drivers, I need to update / download? Or I need to change the settings?
  How can I get my screen on my TV?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

  Hello

  First, you must connect the two machines (laptop and TV via HDMI) when the two devices are turned off. After turn on the TV and the laptop.

  You must choose the HDMI on TV channel and should then use the FN + F5 key combination to switch the video output to the TV.

  If this does not help, try updating the graphics card driver.
  It seems that your laptop supports the Intel graphics chip. Therefore, you can see the Intel page for new drivers.

  Where can I find driver updates?

  Thanks for the reply.

  Where can I find driver updates?

  Unfortunately, it seems that the Satellite A500 is too old and will not be Windows 10 drivers.
  I found the Toshiba site, which provides information on the Toshiba models supported for upgrading to Windows 10 and the A500 is not which are listed there.
  http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG

  Generally, all Toshiba drivers earn 10 for other models of laptops can be downloaded on this page:
  http://win10upgrade.Toshiba.com/swup...SPX?region=TEG
  then maybe you can see the drivers released for other series...

  I also read that some of the riders Win 8 could also work in the frame to win 10.

• Satellite A500 - modem broadband 3G does not connect to internet

  Hello

  Can someone please help
  I am from Ireland and have a modem broadband three where you plug in the USB, Broadband Mobile it is called.

  I downloaded the software ok but I can not connect to the internet, always says failed to connect, the modem worked well on another laptop.

  I am using windows 7 and my laptop is a Toshiba Satellite A500.

  Three told me to contact Toshiba as it is a problem with the laptop... What would be this,

  Be greatfull for help...

  Nigel

  Hello

  You said that the modem worked fine in another laptop. But the other laptop uses the Windows 7 operating system?

  I doubt s a cell phone number since you are using an external modem has nothing to do with the laptop.
  Maybe you have installed some kind of security software (firewall, etc.) which prevents the software of modem connection of the ISP (internet service provider).

  Please check the firewall settings!

• Satellite A500 - Flash cards do not work after the upgrade to Windows 7

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A 04200E. I recently did an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade wizard.

  I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to turn on/off features...

  I tried to download the VAP and it works. I also tried-> the beginning-Toshiba-> Utilities > restart Flash Cards. None of them have worked even after a reboot...

  Can someone give me some advice on what to do next?

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value added Package, you also (re) install the Flash Cards Support utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is required for their work.

  You can download it from the official website of Toshiba:

• Satellite A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:
  [How to clean a Toshiba laptop cooling system? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=40]

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite A500 PSAR9E. Someone tryied to install the SSD to conn JSSD?

  Hello!

  Now my satellite A500 is completely disassembled and I am looking for what is inside and what is possible to upgrade. The most interesting for me is jssd connector on the bottom of the motherboard.

  This information was already mentioned on toshiba American forum but has not ended.
  It's someone who's been tryied/successedid to install the ssd drive to this place or this connection is physically disabled by the BIOS of the motherboard?

  And including this interface mSATA 1.8 inches?

  I myself want to try this connection if I find this ssd or the usual sata interface cable.

  If the micro SATA port is available on the motherboard, the interface should work.
  But there is a question open about the BIOS. If the BIOS would not provide support for the micro SATA, then new SSD connected would be not recognized
  However, I have not found useful information on BIOS support...

• Satellite A500 - battery light flashes when connected to the power supply

  Win 7 Satellite A500 PSAM3A-03P00E.

  Battery light flashes when connected to the power supply (intermittent fault), when I disconnect the sector and reconnect the flashing stops and battery (high capacity) continues to receive.

  Also, when battery light blinks the keyboard backlight stays on when it should white and if the backlight is turned off and the battery light starts to blink the keyboard backlight turns on, all other functions seem to work well.

  Charges of battery and the wedges load properly (when the battery flashes).

  Hello

  Have you noticed this problem since the first day of purchase?
  Theoretically, it could be possible that your battery begins to malfunction
  On the other hand, an electrical problem could also be possible

  However, try this:
  Remove the battery and the AC adapter. Then press and hold button power 30 sec long.
  Then insert the battery and plug AC adapter still does that help?

  By the way: this is the BIOS updated? If this isn't the case, perform an update.

• Satellite A500 does not show 'time remaining' for the battery

  I just bought Satellite A500 with Windows 7 and I noticed one thing, it is that there is no "remaining time" for the battery?

  My former use A100 to display the time remaining on the power but not Windows 7, all I get is a remaining percentage... makes it go for all of the A500 running windows 7 or is - it something wrong with my new computer?

  I guess that the Win 7 drivers should be released in the near future, it seems that Toshiba is driver downloading
  Then maybe after the driver version complete you will get this battery notification allows you to see how it will work

• Satellite A500-1GL: it is advisable to remove the battery when you use the network

  I know this is a silly question but its actually something I know not so thought I would ask.

  I almost always plug my laptop into the supply line (satellite a500 1gl)
  I was wondering have you actually keep the battery installed even when using the electrical network.
  Or is it really advisable to remove the battery when you use the network?
  I didn't know if the battery should always be in place.
  Thanks for your help
  Torti

  Hello

  A few years ago it was recommended to remove the battery of the laptop if the AC adapter is plugged. What keeps the constant charge battery
  New age of batteries are better you can leave the battery in the Bay it s ok and it should not affect the performance

  However, sooner or later each battery would die it s only a matter of time, you know

• Satellite C660D - error 651 attempts to connect to the internet via modem

  Hello

  I'm so stupid with this stuff so please make all responses for a 3 year old can understand.

  The problem - since a few years, I used a desktop computer and connected to the internet via modem wide empty tape and USB connection. Last week bought a Satellite C660D installed Windows 7 os provided and tried to connect with my modem, but failed miserably.

  I get the error message 651 but do not understand why.
  I use wired ethernet (because my friend does on their laptop) and tried the cable on their system, and it worked very well, so I don't think it's that.

  If someone is kind enough to explain what I do, I'll be able to keep this computer connected to the internet with usb and connect the laptop with an ethernet at the same time, so I can read the instructions while I go or I'll have to print the instructions and disconnect the Office before retrying the laptop? Yes, I'm dumb and I'm not even blonde, lol

  Thanks in advance for those who have the patience to try to help me.
