Satellite A500 USB problem - unknown device.

Hello

Have a Satellite A500 I recently restored to factory from the recovery partition and reinstalled my Win7 upgrade.

I have a couple of unknown devices in Device Manager and have no way of knowing what they are.
They would normally be a problem for me except that I'm also the sounds of disconnecting USB every now and then and caveats relating to the devices being plugged into a port USB2 not high speed.

I have of course plugged anything in time so I expect there is a device which is malfunctioning and not detected correctly.

The devices I first suspected (webcam, TV Tuner, touchpad) all normally appear in Device Manager so I'm at a loss as to what is the cause.

Any ideas?

Hello

I understand this correctly?

You restored the A500 to the factory settings using the Toshiba recovery procedure and the unknown devices still shows up in the Device Manager?

That s strange because the recovery disk to put the laptop in the same State as on the first day of purchase. So generally unknown devices should not appear and all drivers must be installed correctly.

However, I found an interesting and in my eyes useful HowTo document that should help you to know which drivers are missing in your case.

  • 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.

    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 C850 - 19(d) - unknown device ACPI/TOS6205 Windows 7

    I am a unknown device in windows 7 on a toshiba Satellite C850 - 19(d).
    The hardware ID is ACPI/TOS6205.

    Suggestions of Al in the forum and the net did not work:

    Can anyone help with this?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    The ACPI/TOS6205 seems to be the Bluetooth device.
    Satellite C850 - 19(d) was equipped with a Realtek RTL8188CE - VLSA WLan / Bt combo card.
    That's why I m sure its BT device.

    You said that you have installed the driver BT but it didn t work.
    I think that you did it wrong.

    The point is that WLan / Combo cards needs a filter driver BT package.
    IF you need to install: Realtek WLan driver, then driver Realtek BT filter package and, finally, the battery Toshiba BT.

  • Satellite A500 / big problem with keyboard

    Hello everyone, first sorry for my English, I'm French!

    Anyway, since 2 days now my Satellite A500 has a big keyboard problem and I don't know how to fix it. I used it as usually, just cleaned each week arriving at work with a simple cloth and after starting my computer, when I started typing, I realized that the keyboard has disappeared as a "madman".

    Some keys are reversed, others like the space bar just doesn't work anymore, capslock button now unlock with the key has and another example, when I press D writes 'CD' and other stuff like that. It is simply impossible to type correctly. I'm running on Windows 7, I have the first test to look for any kinf of viruses, vain, so I formatted my hard drive, reinstalled Windows 7, then after I did the update to the Bios and now everything is clear and clean, but the keyboard problem is still there.

    The fact is that I have this laptop since August 2009 and my warranty no longer applies, so before I should send my computer to any computer repair store I want to know if it's really a problem of keyboard/equipment which can be fixed, "softwarely" or if there is always some kind of alternative for me.

    Thanks to all for your future responses.

    Hello

    Crazy keyboard?
    Hmm. Don t think that it s software or related bios looks more keyboard problem.
    You can try to plug an external USB keyboard to check if the problem would be also available
    If it s not available using the external USB keyboard, then it s internal problem of keyboard and the part needs to be replaced.

    Keyboard replacement is not difficult. The keyboard is secured by two or three screws that are hidden under the cover of thin plastic above the F1 - F12 buttons.
    Remove the plastic cover, remove the screws, lift the keyboard, disconnect the cable (notice, two tiny locks on the connector needs to be moved).
    Then, you would be able to remove the cable of the flat keyboard which is connected to the mobo.

    But if you have no experience, then you this replacement must be done by laptop computer technician.

    Hey,.

    To be honest I n don't know what the problem is. Your model belongs to the series of PSAB6E and as a result, you can get all the drivers on the Toshiba page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    Alternatively, you can find the installation instructions document. This is a list for driver installation order recommend. Follow these instructions to get back to factory settings. All the drivers you need are also available on the Toshiba page.

    If you have any other questions, please let us know!

  • Windows XP SP3 USB errors / unknown devices with Plug and Play

    I have problems with USB flash drives and other plug-and-play devices detected by windows. After taking all possible measures to correct this problem (e.g. windows update, chip / update of the bios, update driver, driver and media ultilites reinstall, uninstall and allow windows update after restarting, removal of hidden devices and even remote tech support from Dell) whenever I connect a flash drive or use all plug-and-play devices it is detected as an unknown device and I can not put updated pilot any port I use. Hardware problems were excluded dute to recognition of the device and USB keyboard and USB mouse are functioning properly. Also these same plug-and-play devices worked well on other items of work. After Googling my eyeballs, I gave up and need help please. The only thing I can do now is to reinstall the operating system that really, really, I don't want to do.

    UPDATE *.

    Dell has replaced the motherboard and the problem was solved. Thanks to all here who offered advice and patience.
  • Satellite A500 - power problems while game

    I was wondering if Satellite A500 users have had the same problem as me. I got my laptop to 10 months and for the last 2 months I get really bad heating problems with my laptop. I have tried everything to clean the laptop with a can to purchase under product cooling fan air to try to stop the tap from the bottom during the game but no luck.

    I want to come to a point were I think that its time to back the laptop to toshiba and ask for a replacement or a new laptop as after spending nearly £700 for laptop Gamers its just not up to scratch.

    Any help would be most appreciated that I get at the end of my patience with her. Now stop playing Aliens Vs Predators live x 11 and the Lord of the Rings Online and Supreme Commander 2, name a few.

    Also, I was watching a DVD using the HDMI port and it did for me then also.

    Help, please.

    Hi HellspwanUK,

    So if your laptop stops all at stake, it would be interesting to know what OS you have installed what is driving display and you are using. This behavior is typical if you use nVidia display drivers rather Toshiba display drivers. The nVidia drivers don't have protection against overheating and different thermal management. This means that your graphics card would go on the highest level, so it might be overheating and closed.
    I would recommend most recent installation display driver official of Toshiba page for your model.

    And have you cleaned your laptop as described here:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=40

    In addition, I would also check the BIOS. Have you installed the latest version of the BIOS?

  • Satellite Pro U300 - 2 unknown devices in XP Device Manager

    Just installed XP on a U300, I downloaded all the drivers from the Web site.
    Now I have 2 unknown devices! Any ideas of what it could be?

    Thank you.

    One could be the unknown PCI memory manager.
    This PCI memory controller is Intel Turbo Memory, also called logic chip cache Flash Intel.
    It is a new technology designed to support the new features of Vista.
    There is no driver for Windows XP because XP doesn t supports the cache feature. Vista only supports this!

    I don't know what could be the other unknown device. Check just what features don't run and you'll know what it is!

  • Satellite A500 microphone problem

    I currently own a Toshiba Satellite A500 computer series running Windows 7 laptop, however the built-in microphone that comes with the computer laptop isn't working properly.
    When I go to use Skype for example it says that the microphone is on, but the volume is low. However, what makes no sense to me is that I already went to the sound options on the Control Panel then the properties of the microphone and turned the volume up to full.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    > When I go to use Skype for example it says that the microphone is on, but the volume is low
    As mentioned by Akuma. Skype software controls the settings of the microphone to and in my case the volume is controlled automatically by Skype to ensure the best quality.
    I think you should check the audio options of Skype.

  • Satellite NB10-A-10V: unknown device after installing Win 7

    Hello forum,.

    I have installed Win7 in my brand-new NB10-A-10V.
    This was made possible thanks to BIOS 1.60.

    I can say that everything works OK and have found all the familiar features and behaviors provided by Win7.
    But the Win7 installation is not perfect yet; There is a missing driver, as reported by the Device Manager:

    * ! * Coding/decoding +(sorry my Win7 is the French version) PCI controller +.

    His ID is PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_0F1

    I do not know what is controlled here, since as I said I did not notice a problem with my NB10 or Win7.

    Can someone tell me what is this + controller +? And just for the sake of pleasing the Device Manager, can someone point me to the missing driver?

    All the best, Matitic

    According to the PCI database http://www.pcidatabase.com/ news
    The ID of FRI (seller) means 8086 and ID DEV (device) appears to be related to the chipset driver or USB driver

    Both are on the page of the Toshiba UE driver

  • Satellite A500/026: problems in streaming/watch online videos

    Hello

    I didn't know where to ask for help, so I thought start id here since I just bought my Toshiba A500/026

    basically im having problem watching/streaming videos online. regardless of the source of the video, youtube, megavideo, veoh. the problem is that I have to wait as the entire video to load and then it starts to play. I can't look at it that it broadcasts.

    It don't tell me his load, it shows just a black screen and then all of a sudden it goes to show that the bar is full and video starts, now it is on short vids because it does not take long, but for movies, it fails generally as they take too much time to load the site will usually come with a mistake.

    Now Ive got to look on the web and I can't find this problem else where, ive checked that I have the last abode flash installed and driver debugging. usually, I use firefox, but im getting the same problem on IE.

    any help would be approeciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Maybe you installed a few 3rd party applications that affect the streaming
    Mate sorry but I have no idea why you can not watch the movie, while streaming is running.

    Have you installed codecs?
    Maybe you should do that I m using the K - Lite Codec Pack.
