  • Satellite A500 - USB devices not recognized

    I have a new Satellite A500 and it now will not 'see' one of the connected devices (Modem 3 G, an iPhone). I checked on Device Manager and it is showing as active USB ports and works correctly and has run the PC Diagnostic tool, which showed everything (including USB) in the work.

    Can anyone suggest how to fix this?

    See you soon,.

    Hi GG,.

    I think that it of difficult to say something about it, if you display any information about your operating system.

    The only thing I can suggest to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager and restart the laptop. The USB ports will recognize again. In my case it worked and I was able to reuse my USB devices. :)

  • Satellite L30: Usb device not recognized

    I have a problem with my laptop L30.
    When I connect my phone or a flash drive or external hard drive, it is said: Usb device not recognized one of the usb devices malfunctioned.
    Tried to reinstall windows did not help...

    is there a solution?

    Hello

    Hmm. First of all, you should unplug all external USB devices.
    Then go to Device Manager and remove it all concentrators root USB and USB host controllers.
    Reboot the laptop.

    After this procedure, the operating system should recognize and should install new ports.
    Now you can connect to a plug - and play instruments. These devices should be recognized automatically. But some external USB devices need additional drivers.
    Usually these drivers are provided with the USB device.

    I would recommend this review if necessary!

  • Satellite A500-19W does not detect battery

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite A500-19W which is 6 months old.

    I bought this laptop while I was in Egypt and now I've moved (Dubai) UNITED Arab Emirates.

    Lately my laptop started suddenly does not detect battery.

    To remedy this that I have to remove the battery and clean the terminals then re - put the battery and turn it on and it's OK.

    This happened twice this week and caused my data loss because the charger is disconnected (if the charger is connected, the laptop computer continue to work, but the battery indicator does not light up)

    Now, my questions are the following
    1 - is this problem under warranty?
    2 - should I pay for anything when getting this laptop in service in Dubai noting that I bought in Egypt?
    3. is there a cure for this problem without going through the service center?

    Thank you

    1 / Yes. These questions should be covered by the warranty. Material is junk.

    2 / the nearest service contact and ask, but I'm sure you don't have to pay for the repair. The two countries are countries in EMEA, and avoid any kind of problems.

    3 / it is not much, you can do about it so please contact and explain the situation. They should check your laptop and find a reason why this happens.

    Don t waste your time and contact the closest service. If you have need for addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > support & downloads > find an ASP.

Otherwise, HP recommends using a USB cable that is less than 2 m (3 ft 3 in). Do not use connection cables to increase the length of the cable. Use a powered USB hub, if you need more length.

    Hello

    Check the settings/configuration (BIOS/CMOS) that get started - often F2 so watch you start screen.
    Check that the USB is enabled. If these methods fail you will need a real computer store
    (not the leeks and the glances at a BestBuy or other big box stores) or Technical Support from the manufacturer of the system.

  • Windows 7 - "USB device not recognized" - to load the new electronic Cigarette device. Help, please?

    I have Windows 7 Home Premium.  I just bought a unit of the electronic cigarette, manufacturer is "Innokin Cool Fire IV", the usb charger plugged on Acer laptop and comes to the screen "USB device not recognized".  I loaded different brand before without problem, I don't know what to do and I am NOT GOOD WITH COMPUTERS!  My settings are at "install updates automatically" and I DON'T WANT WINDOWS 10!  Can someone help me please?  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    This seems to indicate that the charger has actually been detected as a device, but Windows can not work it out.

    Normally such a device should only connect to 5v and 0v pins and have no connection with the pins of data, in this way, that it will not be seen by Windows. I would be concerned by the quality of the device if it has some form of data connection. If you want to continue with this charger, that I would recommend to use a power supply of 5v USB instead of risking the USB port of the laptop, a lot less expensive if it does not. It has been reported several eCig Chargers catch fire. Something like this:
