• Re: My Satellite A500 starts with error message

  My computer laptop satellite A500, after this startup and windows open, a message from the Update Manager "error #-5, I wonder what that might be.
  My operating system is Windows 7, 32-bit 4 GB of Ram.

  Can anyone give me the solution for this error?

  Hi jun07,.

  Who Update Manager you mean exactly?
  I think that a screenshot would be very useful in this case.

  If you mean the update of Windows, you must check for Windows updates again and check if the updates will be installed.

• Satellite A500-19N - Wifi disabled running Windows 7

  Hi @all,

  I have a laptop SATELLITE A500-19N. My wlan collapsed on the overalls. Windows (7 65 bit) card says I should activate the hardware switch and the wireless communication is disabled. What I did:

  Check the hardware switch: the Toshiba Assist and ConfigFree tool shows the switch works. If I press the switch of the tool recognices it. -> work

  installed a linux live cd ubuntu: order of SAI rfkill list all the software bolocked:no and blocked material: Yes -> using fn + F8 succsessfuly toggels software blocked.

  Windows: win + x opens windows mobility centen-> activate the wireless button is gray-> fn + F8 does nothing

  Windows: installed value-added Package installed, uninstalled, reinstalled-> no change

  activated the module with a module of 100% working-> the original toshiba module WiFi without problem in a nother notebook. If I put it in the satellite, it is blocked again. the other does'nt of work package also works in the satellite.

  So my question:
  What else is there for me to Test? This component can be defect? What should I do? With the help of a dongle Wifi works but thas not really a solution for me.

  Best regards, Matthias

  Hello Matthias.

  have you managed to solve this problem?
  I have exactly the same problem you described. Wireless interface is down all of a sudden using xubuntu, and I wasn't able to make it work again.

  Also disassemble the laptop to control the contactor, it works electrically ok.
  Tried to boot into windows and clear cmos. Did not work.

  I'll apreciate any comment.

  Thank you

• 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 - slow startup

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A500.
  During the two days when I turn on my laptop it takes 20 minutes before entering the Enter password box and then another half an hour before the load upward.
  It is stuck on the Welcome screen.

  I also have problems stopping.
  I tried f8 and then recovering from an early date.
  But I got "no restore point is available", or something like that.
  It looks like now that with each attempt to restart the laptop runs things more and more bizarre.

  Should I restore it to factory setting? Should I reinstall windows 7?

  I'm actually missing on sea for work so I don't even have the CD recovery with me.
  What is the best thing to do?

  And if I need to restore to the default origin can I do it without the CD?
  Have yet another month overseas so any help will be great.

  Thank you
  UVA

  > Should I restore it to factory setting? Should I reinstall windows 7?
  Yes, in my opinion, you should try this, but in case this problem is hardware related, the recovery would not help a lot.

  > I'm actually missing on sea for work so I don't even have the CD recovery with me.
  > And if I need to restore to the default origin can I do it without the CD?

  Try HARD drive recovery:
  [How to recover a Toshiba notebook with the HDD recovery procedure | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm]

  If the HARD drive recovery is possible, the recovery discs are not necessary.

  But I'm afraid; m HARD drive can be a troublemaker. It probably needs to be replaced.

• Satellite A500: When will be released Windows 7 64 bit drivers

  Hello

  as the new owner of toshiba A500-132 immediately, I installed Windows 7 64 bit and I only just now realize there is still no driver for it.
  This is when they come out because I can't wait! and I refuse using vista!

  I installed most of the 64 bit vista drivers, and most of them seem to work with exceptions that seriously annoy me. the first is the toshiba ECO utility doesn't work at all, and also the Fn keys do not work. the strange thing about the Fn driver, is that the buttons work when I manually turn the process of Flashcards TCrdMain.exe

  I created the register, which automatically turns on the SLIM process but his ineffective as the process should be opened twice...

  Someone at - it iny idea how to solve this problem, or when will be released Windows 7 readers?:

  Hi mfucek,

  I also don t know when Toshiba released drivers for Windows 7, but you could contact Toshiba directly by phone or e-mail. Do you have already?

  But I think that they will be released in time net because each day more and more drivers will be present on the page of Toshiba. It takes some time because not all drivers can be programmed and tested on one day only, I think.
  In order to check the Toshiba page from time to time. ;)

  Alternative you try the Eco utility and other other Toshiba laptops. Maybe they also work on your Satellite A500.

• Satellite A500 - upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 error

  I'm moving my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium via the Assistance of Toshiba upgrade so it will automatically download the software and some Toshiba Utilities. At the beginning of the launch, an error message 'this model does not support upgrading to Windows 7' in step 'Download Window 7 List component' and cannot continue. I'm confused because this as the disk to upgrade to Win7 I bought and received earlier this year from Toshiba Web site. I have a Satellite A500 I bought last year. It is not an old model, and I think that it is able to upgrade to Windows 7.

  I managed to do a clean install once a while back but realized things of the Toshiba didn't were there not more then I got it back it back to Vista (but instead of the first 32 bit, I have changed there 64 bit). So now, he's running on a Vista 64-bit.

  I don't know if changing from 32 bit to 64 bit has nothing to do with him or if there is something I need to install before you upgrade... I followed the steps on the Toshiba site to upgrade but stuck at this step. I'm not good with computers so help would be greatly appreciated and thanks in advance.

  I created a few interesting, official items of Toshiba directly about Windows 7 update procedure:

• Satellite A500-138 'unknown device' in Windows 7

  Hi all

  I am the owner of a Satellite A500-138 - Part Number: PSAM3E - 013014H 2.
  I just finished the upgrade of the o/s from the horrible vista to Windows 7 Ultimate 64. Update was smooth. Drivers and utilities were easily on your website and install it correctly. Almost everything seems to beworking OK...
  I find myself with 2 numbers:

  1. the watch still an "unknown device" Device Manager
  Details of the device shows hardware IDs of ACPI/ENE0200 and * ENE0200
  What is this and where can I find the driver?

  2. I can't find the Manager of LAN/WLAN cool utility that came with vista.

  Thanks in advance,

  Friend

  Hi friend,

  Have you checked the device ID and the unknown device provider? You can check in the properties of the device.
  Maybe it s Bluetooth adapter if your laptop is equipped with such a

  Regarding the WLAN tool, I think you mean ConfigFree. You can download it on the Toshiba site. Maybe the version of Vista also works on Windows 7.

  Good luck! :)

• 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 A500 - remote control drivers for Windows 7

  Hello world

  I bought the Satellite A500, very happy with it, but I change the operating system (vista) to the RC of windows 7, it works very well, the only thing is that I can't find the drivers for the remote that came with the laptop. It works quite simply, no answer at all... I have not found a driver for the A500 in any case, even for Vista...

  All I know is that the remote works fine because I can use it on the media center to my Xbox 360! : p
  But from the laptop, no answer at all... I looked for everywhere, tried to install the driver remotely for other model of Toshiba, even the beta one for 7, but still the same problem...

  Your help is welcome, thank you for any response.

  Coch, France.

  Hello

  > I have not found a driver for the A500 in any case, even for Vista...
  It seems that the A500 is brand new on the market and I think drivers (Vista) which will be released in the near future
  You'll have to wait a little

  I think the Vista driver compatible with Windows 7.
  I installed Win 7 on my laptop and most vista drivers work.

• A new Satellite A500/026, but I want Windows XP

  J just bought a new A500 and I think its just great the only problem is that I don't like windows 7.
  I want to go back to windows xp.

  Can I do this and retains all the features of toshiba?

  Hello

  If you want to use Win XP, then you need to install Win XP using the MS Windows XP clean CD.
  But the fact is that Win XP are not available for A500 because it is a new machine and new laptops come preinstalled with the latest Windows 7.

  You will need to search drivers Win XP at your own hand and you will not be able to use all the tools preinstalled by Toshiba, these tools are available only on the image of Toshiba and are not ready for download.

• 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?
