• Satellite A500 - sounds/images of default system lost after installing Win7

  Hello

  I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500 with Windows Vista and upgrade to Windows 7. After my installation of Windows 7, I lost all my icons of Toshiba and sounds, as silent image appears so hitting the button mute on the keyboard and the beep on hitting the sound up/down button.

  Before installing, I took a backup of a file from Toshiba and tried to install apps from Toshiba in the TOSHIBA\TOSAPINS folder there. But still not get the default values of the system.

  Would be very grateful if someone could help me to restore those back.

  See you soon,.
  Vikram.

  Hello

  I assume you mean on the menu that appears with the FN keys

  Usually after installing Win 7, you must reinstall the VAP (value added package) and utility Support Flash Cards in order to get the keys FN working again.
  You can download the two page from Toshiba Europe tools.

  I m not very good if you get the same sound that was available under Vista as Win 7 takes care of the own system alerts/sounds.

  But after the installation of VAP and Flash Cards Support utility, you should see the images that appear with the FN keys.

• Satellite A500 - crackling sounds and blue screen

  Hey everybody.

  I bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite A500-19w about 4 days ago (today it is Sunday, March 7, 2010).

  I had the sounds of crackling of my speakers which have been mentioned so many times in the forums, no real solution.
  I also experienced the crash of the blue screen, that's already happened 7 times while I was not strongly using my newly buy laptop.
  I'm not looking for a repair or a replacement, because I find it quite unacceptable to have to think about the errors, faults & fixes as much as the laptop is brand new.

  What I want is a refund, but I'm not sure on how to do it.

  I know that Toshiba has some sort of refund policy, but if someone can tell me exactly how it works, because I want to get rid of my laptop as soon as possible (I will not buy any more portable Toshiba, especially since I had some similar problems with my Qosmio f30).
  If someone can give me some guidance, because I don't want to be mocked or used and cheated out of refund.
  I bought my Toshiba in the Middle East (perhaps refund policies are different here).
  Thank you.

  Hi mihran.

  If you want to pay off your laptop, you should talk with your computer store where you bought it. Only the can repay your laptop and not Toshiba directly.
  Of course it is also depending on the country where you life, but normally you can pay within 14 days I think. So in your case I speak with the seller or give them a call. They explain how to do this.

  But let me give you a little advice: regarding your problems with the crackling sound and blue screen I recommend that you contact an authorized service provider or ask a new A500 (this should be possible if you have only 4 days). Generally, I can say that a friend of mine has Satellite A500 and he is quite satisfied with her. This laptop has a great design equipped with new material for a good price. :)

• Satellite A-L50-1DF - sound distortion using HDMI connection

  Hi all

  Recently, I bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1DF.

  From the beginning, I experienced problems with the HDMI connection.
  When I connect my laptop to another monitor via HDMI more often than not, the sound is tinny and slightly distorted.

  When I unplug the cable and put it in a few times, most of the time solved the problem.
  I used different HDMI cables and different monitors with the same effect.

  Other laptops work fine with these cables and monitors.
  I reinstalled the drivers to display without a bit of luck and will eventually be sent my laptop in for repair.

  Unfortunately, the problem was not found when they looked at it and I'll it back without a repair.

  I have no idea what could be the problem, because it is not found by the repair team.
  The customer service is unfortunately reluctant to me more help.

  Can anyone think an explanation to this problem?

  Thank you very much in advance for your comments!

  Kind regards
  Natasja

  > I have no idea what could be the problem, because it is not found by the repair team.

  This means that the technician did not notice the sound distortion.
  I think that it s very difficult to solve a problem that is not reproducible.

  In my opinion, you should check exactly when this question appears and must try to reproduce the HDMI sound problem.
  You should concentrate on the audio source and the software that runs when you connect the laptop to the external monitor TV.

  Also I recommend that you perform the tests after the system has been recovered to factory settings.

• Satellite click on Mini - sound distortion when looking through Blinkbox

  My mini click has been fine and I watched several programs via blinkbox, listened to and downloaded. Last night, I was watching a program and the sound is distorted. I tried another Tablet, and the sound was very good, so that's obviously a problem with my mini click.

  Does anyone have any ideas?

  Perhaps you should simply reinstall / update the audio driver?

  But it would be interesting to know if the sound distortion is noticeable through connected headphones.

  Where properly sound using headphones, the sound issue could be related to a malfunction of the speaker...

• Sound distortion while playing music on Satellite P100 - 465 PSPAD

  I bought this machine last week only and on the very first day, I have noticed the sound distortion while playing music or games on it. Then I tried to use headphones (instead of Harmon Kardon speakers) to check if the sound card or speaker problem

  But I found the same distortion in the headphones also which suggests that something is wrong with the system of the sound card. I have the sound chip of HD conexant for her.

• Re: Satellite L750-A218 - sound distortion while watching flash videos

  Well, that's my second problem.

  Performance of flash on my browser video causes the sound of these videos to deform.
  Also, sometimes I get BSOD.

  I tried to disable hardware acceleration that seems to extend the time to get a BSOD. In any case, I have the gfx drivers have updated to the latest version and did not get a BSOD (so far).

  However, the sound distorting the problem is still there.
  Deletion of data cached Flash Player on the fixed Control Panel temporarily.
  However, he returned after having watched the other videos.

  What's the cause? Is it a software problem, driver problem or the card gfx itself.
  Also, I noticed problem of deletion of frame while playing games on max settings.

  What is that?
  Thank you very much. I hope you can help me with this issue, I am really frustrated.

  Hello

  I would like to know if you have noticed this problem with the system preinstalled by Toshiba (factory settings).
  Other threads that you have posted here, I know that you have changed the system to Win 732 bit for the 64-bit version so it would be interesting to know if this happened before you change the version.

  > Also, I noticed problem of deletion of frame while playing games on max settings.
  Usually this happens because of the strict requirements on the hardware
  Maybe the game would need more CPU and GPU in order to run smoothly at higher resolutions and all the graphic details.

• Satellite A500-19w - BSOD BCCode 9 - BAD_POOL_HEADER

  Hey everybody

  About 2 weeks ago, I bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-19w. Have been crackling sounds from the speakers, but also error blue screen & restart.
  So I decided that I wanted a refund because it was out of the question for me to keep a laptop that has been hurt since the first day.

  The Bank refused to give me my money back, instead they gave me a new laptop (the same Satellite A500-19w).

  Now, I have the same exact problems, but since I will not get my money, I'm stuck with it.
  I've had the laptop for 3 days now, and only today I had 4 blue screen errors (the last 3 times, after windows restarted, I don't even have a log of the error so that I could post it here).

  But from what I remember, it was a BCCode 19, & during the last blue screen that I had, I saw "BAD_POOL_HEADER".
  I was going through the forums desperately try to find a solution, but have not found anything so far.
  I don't know what the problem is, I really need help.

  My OS is a Windows 7 64 bit Home Premium.
  (All A500-19w normal sheet example 1 g Ram, 230 M nVIDIA VGA...).

  I really really need help.
  I have a lot of work to do and this laptop is the only tool I have.
  I don't have access to other computers.

  Help, please.

  And one more thing, service of Toshiba Tempro advised me a new update of the BIOS, but when I tried to get it, he told me that ' you seem to have the same version or newer "or something like that & the update did not work.
  Yet once, please, I'm desperate for help.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think the problem is software partner.
  The google provides many successes on the BSOD BCCode 19 and the BAD_POOL_HEADER

  Unfortunately, it is not easy to say which application or a driver could cause this because its always a different software...

  But you can check the minidump file to obtain more details on the error...

  Here is a document of Microsoft Knowledge on how to play files of dump Windows creates the memory.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315263

  It should help to find the source of the BSOD

• Satellite A500-17 x - micro does not work after BIOS update

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A500-17 x which I have just updated the BIOS to version 2, as recommended by the tempro software. Now with the new update my microphone does not work. Where can I download a copy of the old BIOS?

  ({I used winphlash64 in advanced mode to restore the original backup, it does to the computer, but it just gives the new bios to}) Thank you rich

  Hello

  BIOS cannot be demoted in windows mode.
  Even if you use an older version of BIOS update, you will get an error message saying that the latest BIOS version is already installed. So, forget the downgrade.

  By the way: I put t think the update of the BIOS assigned the microphone.

  Go to control panel of-> sound-> recording tab.
  Here you will see all the available recording devices (micro)

  Activate the microphone it (in this case the people with reduced mobility) and set its default value.

  Where it works: reinstall the audio driver.

• Satellite A500 - 15 h - keyboard backlight doesn't work anymore

  Hello @ all,

  After that install Win7 on my purchased new Satellite A500 - 15 h the backlight for the keyboard no longer works.
  I don't know if it worked before with vista... but if all goes well.

  Lighting is enabled in the Bios. Features (on F1 - F9) controlled by the Fn do not work as well as the tone that has been heard normally by using the function for lower keys / turn on the sound cannot be heard even if the sound signal is enabled in the BIOS.

  I hope someone can help
  Thanks in advance
  giraffe

  I have already installed value added package and updated BIOS.
  Under Linux, the keyboard is also not on.

  Hello

  First of all, you need to get the keys FN working again.
  To do this, you must install the VAP and the Toshiba Flash Cards support utility from the European driver Toshiba page.

  Regarding the backlight on the keyboard;

  Not all laptops are supported the backlight on the keyboard.
  You should check the Z button.
  If the Z button would contain a sign tiny keyboard then the laptop was equipped with backlight on the keypad and it should be possible to activate this using keys FN + Z combination.

• 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.

• Satellite A500 - icon Volume missing from the taskbar

  My volume icon disappeared from the taskbar (Satellite A500 / Windows 7). When I right click on properties to display the 'enable or disable system icons', the volume icon is there, but can not change off to on as the 'stop' is grayed out.

  Someone at - it indexes?

  Hello

  Maybe your card its isn't recognized properly. Have you checked for yellow exclamation marks Device Manager?
  Maybe the audio driver. You can find the latest version on the Toshiba site.

  Normally you can toggle the icon of volume if you in Control Panel > sounds and Audio devices.
  Check it!

• Satellite A500-17 x gel when it is in full screen mode

  I bought a Satellite A500 x 17 in December-, it came with Windows 7. I am really disappointed with her because she seems to have a number of construction problems.

  The most annoying is that I can watch streaming of videos on Youtube or iPlayer but mode if I set the screen mode full screen, it works for a few seconds then freeze. The sound continues, but the video is frozen. If I hit escape he will happily play the video in small but put it back to full screen and the screen freezes after a few seconds.

  I've updated the video driver to the latest version and have the latest version of the bios installed.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  To be honest, a good friend of me bought a Satellite A500 too but it is very statisfied with it. I talked a little bit with him this phone and Windows because I too think about buying it. He can t notice any problem and Windows 7 works like a charm, much better than Windows Vista. The same thing that I read many others

  As regards your problem it is difficult to say what is the cause. You have already updated driver display and BIOS, which was a good decision I think. But the more interesting thing: which Internet browser are you using? I m using Firefox browser and I can recommend it.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if the same happens if you watch DVDs (without streaming on the Internet)?
