• 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 A500-1GL - power of Windows 7 and the games options

  Hi all

  Some know maybe my previous posts about my problem with the fan on my Satellite A500-1GL worry when I'm online game. It is disturbing to hit the 90%. And his pass even with the update of the BIOS and Toshiba now advise to do a factory restore then fails to send in for repair.
  Looking at the power options,

  I was wondering if someone could recommend this power options I should consider and it would have made no difference for the wise game fan (secondlife seems to be the main problem with the fan turn the crank to the top)

  Any help would be appreciated, trying to think of something that might help which may be a simple solution to this problem of fan
  Torti :)

  Hello

  To be honest, a lot of activity of fan during the games would be normal I think because games need a lot of CPU and GPU power, they always run at a very high level. This means a lot of heat will occur and it must be cooled to avoid damage.

  Of more if I have the games, it s not important how the fan noise creates because I hear music or dialogue game Isn t it so? ;)

  In any case, from time to time it s advisable to clean the cooling system of your laptop using a jet of compressed air:

  And for games, you can use high power option or balanced Windows Performance.

• Satellite A100 - very low speaker volume

  Hello

  Recently, the volume of my speaker has been very low - barely audible.
  The speakers are Realtek High definition.

  The volume is set at 100%. I checked the properties of reading, recording and sounds and they all work very well.
  The problem occurs if I play CDs, videos online or applications such as RealPlayer - anything really.

  Any advice would be much appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I guess you are which means that the sound card (it s Realtek High definition) and not speakers ;)
  However, have you checked the settings in the control panel-> Manager Realtek HD?

  Do it! There are a lot of different parameters that control the quality of the sound and there you can assign different audio effects

• Satellite A500 - 18 X - after windows sleep, black screen

  Hello

  I bought this laptop yesterday and I noticed this problem: when I SLEEP the laptop, and then it continues when I press the power button to turn on the laptop, the laptop turns on, but the screen lights - black... Thus, force close, holding down the power button...
  What could be the problem?

  Kind regards.

  Hello

  Have you tried to update the display driver?
  Isn't it? Well, I think you should do this because I read in the forum that similar issues would be resolved by the update of the display driver.

  It would also be desirable to have the latest version of the BIOS.
  Check the version of the BIOS and if the most recent BIOS is available then to update this!

• 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.

• 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 A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

  Hi people,

  I need help please.

  My wireless adapter does not work.
  It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

  I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

  The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

  There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

  When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

  I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

  I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

  My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
  The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

  Hello

  Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
  Save the changes and restart the device.
  Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

  If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
  Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

  Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

  PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.
