• Satellite A500 - video/dvd player is not compatible with Windows 10

  After having recently updated of my laptop for windows 10 I discovered that the dvd player does not work. A message is displayed informing that the player is not compatible with this version of windows. A scan using Norton suggests dvd will not work because it needs to be configured.

  Does anyone else have this problem?

  Obviously, Toshiba DVD playback application that is preinstalled on this Satellite A500 model is not compatible with the system Windows 10.

  In this case this software will not properly work after the upgrade to win 10 and I guess you have to remove the system Win 10.

  Unfortunately, the Satellite A500 is not listed as Win 10 portable computers and so I don't think you will get an update to this software for DVD playback.

  Here is a list of models supported for upgrading to Windows 10

• Satellite Pro M50: 896 MB of RAM available instead of 1536 MB

  I recently bought a 1 GB RAM module for my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M50. The laptop has already had a 512 MB card installed. I used the scanner memory from crucial.com to ensure what I bought compatible memory.

  I installed the 1 GB module, and now all of my system will show is that I have 896 MB of RAM available. It is of course the module 1024Mo less 128 MB for the execution of the shared video card. My BIOS shows also only 896 MB of available RAM, but if I run a program of analysis such as CPU - Z it shows 2 modules of RAM installed with a total of 1536 MB of RAM available.

  I tried the two RAM modules individually in both slots and the two modules together in both slots. Both work individually and both work in two locations in memory, but combined the module of 512 MB is not displayed. 1 024 MB module seems to be fine. I am running Win XP SP2.

  Do you have any ideas I can do to fix this?

  A second question, I used to play DVDs on my laptop, but recently, when I try, the sound crackles & pop & the DVD skips a little every two seconds... any ideas?

  See you soon!

  Hello

  I found similar issues here in this forum and especially he was bound for the bar of memory is not compatible.

  According to the information on the Toshiba Web page module the 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G) is supported and can be used.

  I put t know what the manufacture of your new memory is, but I wouldn't recommend mix parts. Try to use both modules of the same provider and use both with exactly the same specifications.

  Hope this helps a little

  Good day...

• Satellite A500 - upgrade the processor and RAM void my warranty?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500, and I think to upgrade my processor CPU and RAM. If I open it invalidate or do I need a Toshiba authority to open it? Removes the card RAM will void the warranty?

  All I need to know is that can I put RAM and CPU processor without voiding the warranty

  Hey,.

  If you upgrade the CPU, you will cancel the warranty because this upgrade is not supported from Toshiba.
  In addition, I put t understand why you buy a laptop, and then you think of some hardware upgrades. In your case, I'd rather bought a laptop with faster processor and more RAM.

  See also this article from Toshiba:
  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU or GPU of a Toshiba laptop computer? | http://APS2.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm]

  Finally and above all a RAM upgrade is not a problem. So check your user manual how to do this.

• Satellite A500-19 x - backlit keyboard is available?

  Hello

  This laptop was supposed to have a backlite keyboard.
  I even phoned to Toshiba to check, but there is no symbol on the z key.

  Someone knows something about this problem?

  It can be remedied?

  Hello

  There are different models of Satellite A500 with a different hardware configuration.
  The A500-19 x Z key does not contains a tiny keyboard symbol and that's why the device does not support the FN + Z which would enable or disable the backlight on the keyboard!
  This function is not available on this model.

  Good bye

• Satellite A500 - Toshiba tools after the new installation of Windows 7

  Hi I was wondering if my applications which have been pre installed on my Toshiba Satellite A500 would transfer through on a custom Windows 7 Setup.

  I did an upgrade from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium, but I want to do a full installation of Windows 7 because I believe that upgrade does not work as good as a full operating system installation.

  Hello

  I know, if you perform a complete installation, that everything will be wiped on local disk C:, and you have to reinstall all the drivers/application.

  Hello

  It would be interesting to know, you have the code BSOD
  I've read many threads on BSOD and in most cases, it s about the graphics card driver or other drivers who seems to be some trouble with Win 7.

  First you need to update the BIOS and Windows 7, then you should try updating the graphics card driver.

  Good luck

• Satellite P100 - 347 (PSPA6) and Conexant audio problem in Windows 7 64 bit

  He is a [old problem | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=175972#175972] which seems to have affected many people.

  Conexant HD Audio (hardware id: HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5047 & SUBSYS_1179FF31 & REV_1000)

  There has been no official driver published this work in Windows 7 64 bit. It works fine in 32-bit, windows 7, and using different drivers from other sources + partial + fix can be found.

  Using these drivers:

  [Audio 4.8.0.0 | http://209.167.114.38/support/Download/files_downloads/pspa1c/vista/Audio4.8.0.0.zip]
  [sp35683 | ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp35501-36000/sp35683.exe]

  and some of the advice [here | http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-7/Windows-7-64-bit-drivers-for-P100-P105-Users/m-p/67516], it is possible to get the proper functioning, but * only * when using the S/PDIF (HD) audio output. When the S/PDIF cable is removed the internal speakers make noise for a fraction of a second, then silence.

  I tried everything and this issue has been around for months and months, but no perfect solution seems to exist. I was wondering if there is a way to update the drivers of the HD Audio Controller, integrated in Windows 7. Or maybe a hack that allows the internal speakers continue to work (they work for one second!)

  Please, any help on this would be greatly appreciated

  Hey,.

  The problem is hat for Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit are drivers available for your laptop model. I checked this on the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  According to the Toshiba page your laptop has audio chip Conexant
  But Conexant doesn t provide drivers directly then you will have to check again the Web from Toshiba site

  I discovered that the Satellite P300 also has card his Conexant and there is a driver for Windows 7 64-bit available. In my opinion, you should try the audio driver for Satellite P300. Theoretically, this should work. ;)

• Satellite C670-13D: where can I find drivers for Windows 7 32 bit

  Hello

  Please, where can I find Windows 7 32-bit drivers for Satellite C670 - 13D Part #: PSC40E-004008RU.
  I need 'Value-added Package' to activate the hotkey feature.

  Thank you to.

  Hello

  Not seem that all Win 7 32-bit drivers are available for the C670 at this time.

  Since the VAP is not related to series of specific portable but the system (Windows 7 or Vista), you can use the VAP released for other series

  I recommend the C660 series and released for download the VAP.

  Hello

  The drivers of Toshiba laptops are a bit different and not the same thing as the drivers from the manufacturer of the graphics card.
  The original ATI drivers are made for office use and not for mobile use. Drivers Toshiba takes supported thermal protection that allows to control the performance of gpu and the dissipation of the heat.
  If you want to use a page ATI driver then your GPU could create more heat as usual which leads to the unexpected shutdown.

  I installed Win 7 on my A210. I didn't install the driver of ATI graphics card because the Win 7 automatically recognizes the graphics chip.
  After installation, I went to the Device Manager. Then, I chose the graphics chip and looked for the driver automatically. Windows has found the right driver and installed this
  Since the unit works perfectly with Win 7
