• Satellite A500 - problem with the monitor after restoration

  Hello
  I have a Satellite A500. He has a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can not read but once the laptop to boot completely it is fine. My problem is that I wanted to do a restore, but I couldn't because the screen problem it started so I plugged into an external monitor and perform the restore. That has worked well.

  But now the laptop recognizes any my laptop screen. When you go to view it offers no other monitor choice other than external, I used for the restoration. I downloaded the display driver but nothing has changed.
  ANY IDEAS?

  Thank you

  (I have the disks for the restoration, if that helps.)

  > There a problem with the monitor for a while, when you turn it on it's all lines etc. and you can't read
  If I understand you right you can see when laptop starts and you see Toshiba welcome screen. Is this good?
  When you enter the BIOS settings you see thise lines too?

  Later, when you see the desktop on the external monitor, you can use the FN + F5 key combination to switch between an LCD and external monitor. Please try to use it and post comments if it works or not.

  What operating system do you use?

• Satellite A500 - problems with the creation of recovery disks

  Hello
  I bought a Satellite A500 yesterday and now I'm trying to create the recovery discs before anything else.
  However, towards the end of the 1st DVD I get an error message saying "Faile dto open the next file. e:\Boot\BCD (0201123-F1-00000000 error code)"and then when I click 'OK', the DVD is ejected giving a message"unable to create recovery 1' media. Physical examination, I noticed that the DVD is written almost entirely.

  Any advise on this? In addition, in the interface, it shows a USB option and says to insert a USB media with more than 7 GB of free. That I can use it to create the recovery disk? If Yes, when I reinstall windows 7, this allows as a bootable drive?

  Greately appreciate any help on this matter. If it is defective, I want to return as soon as POSSIBLE.

  Thank you
  Mercier.

  As far as I know, that you can not use external device for recovery, it is therefore very important create recovery DVDs.

  Try to create the recovery disk using only DVD-R media. Use high quality media like TDK or Verbatim.
  Last month, I've created on the Satellite A500-157 recovery discs and everything went well.

• Satellite A500 - problems with the temperature of the GPU

  The thing is playing Age of Empires online I started having problems with the temperature of the GPU. When you run the AIDA64 the CPU stress test can hold up well, but after 35 minutes the test what AIDA suspended while the GPU fan can't seem to download their revolutions, (I guess that if there was that a rise in temperature would increase the speed of rotation of the fan, don't).

  I consulted the manufacturer of the GPU, nVidia, (the graphic is nVidia GeForce GT 230 M) and tell me to contact Toshiba for other options, since, according to them, the problem is not the GPU.

  Any ideas or suggestions?

  You use your laptop to factory settings?
  Have you installed something that may be responsible for this (non-Toshiba display driver)?

• Satellite A500: problem with the driver of sound and display after update!

  A500 Windows 7-64 bit

  I download the latest driver (6.0.1.6048) sound and display driver (8.16.11.8973) and I have a few problems.
  The colors are too bright and the sound is too deep (as the middle are too low).

  Hello

  Then why you n t go back to earlier versions of the driver?
  In your case, I would recommend setting the operating system at the point of time at first, until you have updated the drivers.
  Usually, this should help to recover the old drivers again.

• Satellite 1905 - problem with the touchpad after awakening from Hibernation/standby

  Greetings.

  I've known a few interesting problems with my Satellite 1905 - S301.
  Whenever he wakes up from hibernation/standby my touchpad stopped accepting "taps" as a click on the left button of the mouse. It works normally with finger motion detection, but stops at all but it is quite annoying to restart the machine whenever he returns from hibernation mode.

  I've done a small workaround and after I close the laptop lid still works but this isn't the way it should work, I would have preferred that she either Hibernate than running for 10 hours without any sense;).

  Can someone give me the solution to this problem, please?
  Thank you in advance.

  Kind regards
  Akar

  Hello

  I agree with you. It s very boring to restart the machine each time to use the touchpad.
  This problem appears on the first day?

  I think there might be a software problem and, possibly, the new installation of operating system recovery CD Toshiba could help.
  I know, the complete installation is not the best solution, but it might help.

  You should also check you the touchpad. Satellite 1905 - S301 was designed for the U.S. market and so I checked the American website for available drivers.
  It seems that 5.3.203.2 is a newer version of the Alps touchpad driver for Windows XP.

  I suggest to reinstall the touchpad driver and check if there is no improvement.

• Strange problem code 39 on my Satellite A500-02J with constant blue screens

  I bought my Toshiba Satellite A500-02J 2-3 months ago and I opened my laptop this morning and I was not connected to the internet and had no installed audio device.

  Then I got a blue screen of death. I restarted my laptop and I went to the Device Manager to see that most of my drivers had the yellow exclamation mark with the super Code 39 error (windows didn't start my drivers for X reason...) and then I had a second blue screen. I was very careful from the beginning with this laptop and I know that this is not a virus since a did not something 'weird' with this computer. Best of all, it's that my USB ports no longer works and I can not backup my stuff important just in case...

  Thank you for helping me,
  Odin

  Hi Odin

  It is not easy to say why this happens, but if there are so many problems, I advise you to install the new OS by using the HDD recovery procedure.
  Try to start your computer in safe mode and delete all data on the second partition.
  Start your laptop with F8 install OS using these instructions - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm

  When you install the operating system by using this method of HARD drive recovery all data saved on the second partition will not be deleted.

• Satellite Pro C660 - on and off the problem with Touchpad

  Hey guys,.

  I had one on and out of the question with my touchpad at least a few months now. I tried to do the function + F9 thing with little effect. Also, I re-uploaded the synaptics driver, which seems to make it work for a little while but then it started working sporadically.

  Currently my touchpad works from time to time, if it fails on the first pressing Ctrl Alt Del and then Esc seems to do the job for a little long but after that it just stops working. I am a student and not having is not a fully functional laptop is often a major obstacle if any help would be great.

  Best,

  gleeful199

  Hello

  My first question is: When did you notice this problem from touchpad.

  I mean, the Sat Pro C660 is a portable old and if this issue seemed to be in the first day of purchase, then something touched the touchpad feature in the past.

  The question is: is at - it something wrong with the software or touchpad maybe module.
  I think that can be answered only the settings of the notebook back to factory State.
  If you are recovering the using laptop computer Toshiba recover disk, you will get exactly the same State as at the first day of the purchase.

  If the touchpad would not always work properly, well there is some hardware problem

• Satellite M70-309 - problem with touchpad

  Hello

  I have a problem with the touchpad of my laptop. When the laptop is charging, touchpad not working properly but if I unplug it work.

  What is the problem? I don't understand...

  I thank.

  Hmm when did you notice this problem?
  Since the first day of purchase?

  I'm not very well if it could be a software problem, but of course, you could try to update the driver for the touchpad to ensure that this problem related isn t touchpad driver m.

  If the driver update help doesn t then a hardware problem may be possible
  It is hard to say what role might be affected but a laptop computer technician could run tests and might be able to tell what's wrong.

• Satellite A500 - slower with videos on Windows 7

  Hi, I desperately need advice, I am 78 years old and going into the wall.

  My Satellite A500 / 03P was bought with preinstalled Vista and worked fine. My particular interest is the functioning and the creation of video clips from training for other seniors, like video purchased has worked, stutter free. I took the offer to upgrade to Windows 7 and bought the upgrade, things went quickly downhill since. Installing Windows 7 became crazy during the installation, I have to take the computer to a maintenance shop. He was returned with Windows 7 installed, but has been considerably slower with videos run from the hard drive stuttering, worse still, my connection Internet ADSL2 running about 1.25 m bits per second.

  After a while I got to service man and $ 200 later was provided with a dual boot hard drive, Windows 7 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7. The system is practically unusable for video. I downloaded and installed all the 32 and 64-bit drivers provided by Toshiba but had to give up the 64-bit completely as unusable. I tried to install another copy of Vista Ultimate, bought for my old desktop PC, but could not get Internet to work, either directly or via the WIFI on the laptop.

  I tried to run the Toshiba on the 32-bit Windows 7, but the laptop is too slow, that even my email creeps to e-mail readere. Any advice would be most appreciated that my pension will not bear the costs of local peoples. Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.

  Concerning

  Hi Leslie,.

  I m really wondering why your A500 has so many problems with Windows 7. From my own experience I can say it s really great and better than Vista OS. I use 1.5 years now and everything is working a lot on it.

  In any case, did you check if all devices are properly installed in Device Manager and if there is no yellow exclamation?
  When you watch videos, have you selected the power profile high performance in Windows?

  > Should I buy the Toshiba original disks and return to 'ex factory Vistor State' or what.
  That would be an option, Yes.
  You don t have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If this isn't the case, you can get it from a provider of service authorized in your country.

• Satellite A500 - problem of speaker (Harman/Kardon) left

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba satellite A500 laptop and recently I seem to have intermittent problems with the built-in speaker on the left.

  Sometimes the sounds come out of the speaker perfectly, but it will turn off for a while and then come back, and then turn off again. There is no model it at all, so I can't pin point why it's happening.

  It doesn't seem to be a problem at all with the right speaker.

  Can anyone help here please?

  Could it be a loose wire or something to do with a driver who needs update? I use Windows 7, which I am new to.

  Any info at all would be great - thanks.

  Paul

  Related issue as far as I know that this issue has nothing to do with driver, in my opinion, this is material. You must understand that on this virtual path, we can offer accurate diagnosis.

  When you use the diagnostic tool of Toshiba is the same problem?
  It comes with a headset? Everything works ok?

• Satellite C655D - problem with recovery

  Hello
  I have the Satellite C655D-S5515 with no additional DVD.
  I want it back or fabric.
  When, during boot press 0, not getting no RECOVERY option not only choose the operating system (Windows 7 only).
  How can I make laptop recovery?

  At first, I must say that since a long time, Toshiba and many other manufacturers of laptop also, doesn t offer disk facility with new laptops. Recovery image is saved on the HARD drive and the laptop owner should create backup recovery, recovery media creation. Its operation is clearly described in the document s user manuals.

  In General, when your laptop has a factory settings and changes nothing, you should be able to begin the installation of HARD drive recovery. I don't know what the problem with your machine and what is the reason why this option is not available, but what you need now is the installation of recovery disc.

  If you don't you should be able to order it. For making this visit https://support.toshiba.com/repair?orderType=SFF

• Satellite M645 - problem with files from Ipod

  I recently had two other notebooks die on me so why I got a brand new Toshiba Satellite M645.
  I have two ipods with music on them from one of the computers.
  When we follow the ways to transfer music on my new computer that I will meet different problems with each of them.

  The first problem is on my video Ipod.
  After clicking on the hidden folders and etc when I find the music file, it shows the files for everything except music.
  Here is the list of files, it gives me

  Calendards
  contacts
  garbage
  NISAM
  Notes
  recycler
  ground
  USB 2.0 driver
  zurim

  If someone could help me with this, or maybe send me to another forum or page that might help me.

  My other is an ipod touch.

  And when going to the devices, it rises driver device USB mobile apple instead of an ipod just like my other.
  When you click on it instead of display the files it just go to the properties and has two tabs, general and material.

  Once more if anyone knows how I might be able to get these on my new computer, I would be very grateful

  That has nothing to do with Toshiba but with your Ipod.

  On the other hand; I have an iPhone and the management of the files it s similar iPod.
  All files need iTunes and using iTunes, you can control files and move between computer and ipod

  However, I recommend you to visit the forum for ipod problems

• Satellite A350 - problem with Internet

  Hello world
  I bougth Satellite A350 with MS Windows Vista Home Premium a few days ago and I have the problem with wireless Internet. It is impossible. I have a connection with my wireless linksys router and that's all. I can't connect to the Internet. I can't get the IP address of the DHCP server, and it is "limited connectivity".
  Can someone help me what to do?
  I read a few posts on the Forum and I think the best idea is to return to the workshop, grab the laptop and forget to Toshiba for EVER. I hope that it is possible to do. Earlier, I bought a PC laptop Toshiba-No... no problem. Everything is OK, everything works OK, Internet connection without problem.
