• Satellite L40 breaks down after 5-10 minutes and will not return

  I hope someone can help

  I have a toshiba Satellite L40. It has not been used for a while, but I need to have stuff on it.
  Put it on yesterday and then crashed after 10 minutes and would not go back
  .the same thing happened today.

  I took out the battery and tried just to power / and vice versa, but no joy.
  I'm not very technical was so had no idea what to try next.

  Hello

  If I understand your question, the unit stopped automatically.
  Such judgment may be related to high temperatures inside the laptop.

  L40 series is a bit old and probably the cooling vents and grilles are obstructed by dust.
  Try to remove the dust using a jet of compressed air. Generally, this lets get removed dust and it helps to keep the temperature low.

  Of course, this procedure would only if the problem is related to high temperatures.
  In the case of the laptop shuts down for other reasons, this workaround would be useless

  You said you need to get something from him in this case you could remove the internal HARD disk and could connect to another laptop computer through SATA to USB controller.

• Satellite M50 breaks down just for no apparent reason...

  Well, I had this problem a few months after I got the laptop. It would be just closed especially if I had it on my bed, now I keep it on top of a desk and it's better but lately its been going again. Please help I don't know what the problem is.

  I imagine that the laptop when it is placed on the bed cannot be cooled properly and if the material critical temperature is reached the laptop, turn off without any warning. The material will be protected on this path.

  On the desktop, it works better because the cooling fan is free and the cooling fan is not blocked. If you use your laptop on different places, it is possible that there are now more than inside and portable dust should be cleaned. Believe me the dust can disturb the cooling and the laptop turns off again. Especially by games or applications that requires the CPU and graphics card to run at high speeds.

  Think about it. You can try to clean the cell phone only or it can be done on the professional manner of service.

• Satellite A505 wake mode standby automatically

  I usually just close the lid on my Satellite A505 when I actually use it for a while, in order to put him to sleep, to rest it and save energy.

  However, I often find that for some reason, he wakes up on his own.
  I find with the cover still down, but far to purr. This happens quite often.

  I'm doing something wrong? Can I easily avoid this?

  Thank you
  Tom

  Hello

  I m not a Satellite A505 owner but on my Satellite A300, I had the same problem. It starts automatically and awakened from sleep mode automatically.

  Check this box, dude!

• Satellite A505-S6005: creating recovery discs power calibration error

  Hello

  just bought a satellite A505-S6005 and try to create recovery discs.
  I am using Dynex DVD - R.

  He created the 1st disk after the slightest mistake 2 times and when I started the 2nd drive continued to get again the message that is OE01BS-26 error Code - 2 said A 037303 power calibration area error occurred, check the disk for dirt or scratches.

  The disks are not scratched, and after going through 5-6 discs wonder if something is wrong with the optical drive & not the disks.

  Any help appreciated.
  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think it's a problem with your DVD media
  You are using incompatible disks!

  Try different DVD from different manufacturers.
  I m using the Verbatim or TDK DVD-R and my CD/DVD drive handles these discs without problem.

  Check it! I'm sure this will help you!

• Problems of wireless with my Satellite A505

  Hello people,

  I have a Satellite A505 which uses a Realtek RTL8191SE wireless network card. Recently, I had connectivity problems with my home router. This configuration used to work perfectly, but recently, I had a problem where I won't be able to connect to my router wireless access point. Reset the adapter does not solve the problem, or don't restart.

  I found that my router reboot solves the problem, I am able to login after the reboot of the router. I have not had this problem on any of the other devices or laptops in my house and never had this problem until last month. I tried to do a factory reset on my router in order to ensure that some recent changes in our setup of the router were not to blame, but the problem persists even with a clean slate.

  Ideas for what to do?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  >... and never had this problem until the last month or more
  Do you use WLAN driver from Toshiba support page?
  I ask this question because I noticed that under Win7 driver for this wireless network card is offered as optional update. Maybe this update is installed, and now you have this problem.
  If possible, try to roll back OS a few weeks back and check if the problem persists.

• Satellite A505 - where can I get display driver for XP?

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A505-S6986 that has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 M graphics card. Unfortunately I have to downgrade my Windows7 XP OS for my work. I tried to download the drivers for the Geforce 200 m (and others) series manually, the automatic detection tool and read the countless forums without success.

  Can you please help me locate THE display drivers that will install successfully on my system? (I don't mind if they are legacy/old).

  Thanks for any help
  Chance

  Hello

  I think it might be a little difficult to get a display driver for XP and this graphics card. The fact is that Windows XP is old and the past. No support, there is more to the new laptops.

  I think the only option is the original nVidia Driver but these drivers are not pre-tested on your laptop and doesn t have protection against overheating. He could destroy your graphics card.

  In your case, I would like to install Windows 7. If you use the Ultimate edition is there a XP virtualization mode where you can run older applications.

• Satellite A505-S6995 - Audio MP3s fading in and out of play

  Hello

  I had audio problems with this laptop since I bought it, first with the Crackle of the sounds, then I did the update of the bios that seemed to help, but now there are all sorts of problems with his awkward with Windows Media Player. If I use VLC or Winamp to play any of the mp3s on my laptop, there is no audio problem. However, if I use windows media 12 (last updated edition) Player, the audio volume seems to fade in and out and its a little wobbly and certainly enough for you drive crazy. This is strange, because if you go directly to the music folder and click on the mp3 even, it seems, there is a sort of plugin to make an audio preview and it seems to use windows media player (it does not open, but they way the icon looks like just seems to indicate that he) no audio no issues at all. I tried different mp3s with the same question. It is not hard I crank my system. It also happens with headphones and speakers. There is no audio problem with netflix audio, streaming, on demand, etc. I will continue to look and see if I forget something, but I have yet to find solutions.

  Here are my specs:
  TOSHIBA Satellite A505-S6995 laptop Intel Core 2 Duo P7450(2.13GHz) 16 "6 GB memory DDR3 1066 500 GB HD 5400 RPM DVD Super Multi NVIDIA GeForce GT 230 M?" / Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service pack 1
  Version 1.80 - 03Updated-06-2010 nVIDIA VBIOS N10P/n10M to fix an audio crackling problem. ?

  Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  Thank you

  Looks like the audio be normalized.

  Disable the standardization in Media Player.
  You can also disable the improvements in the sound control panel.

• Satellite A505 - change standard user instead of administrator

  Hello

  I recently bought a Satellite A505-S6005. Windows 7 is already installed on the laptop.

  The problem I encounter is that I'm a standard user. I'm not the administrator. I would like to change that, so I'll be able to change or install programs.
  The problem came earlier, but the difference is that I don't have the windows 7 CD to start Setup again and choose administrator instead of the standard user.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  Hi ManiakRe,

  In my opinion it of not necessary to reinstall Windows. You can change user permissions in your control panel of the active administrator account set. Then you can use this account, but normally you shouldn't t use an account with permissions to administrator if you surf the Internet.

  Also take a look on Google. There are enough pages they describe how to change user permissions.

• Can satellite A505 - I configure media buttons?

  Hi all:

  I have a question: is it possible to configure multimedia LED buttons "Play/Pause", "RW" and "FF" of my Satellite A505-S6965 to run a program?

  I know it's possible to do it with the 'eco', the buttons "mute" using the program "Support of Toshiba Button" and the "quick start", but this program offers no option to configure the three buttons that I mentioned above.

  If someone could help, I appreciate it very much, because I don't know where else research...

  Thanks in advance.

  Hey Buddy,

  You're already good. You can only configure the media buttons that you can find in the list of Toshiba button support.

  But for game, RW, FF, etc keys it of not possible to configure them. You can use them in Windows Media Player for example. That s as comfortable! :)

• On Satellite A505-S6973 keyboard problems

  Goodday once again everyone,

  Can someone tell me if the built-in on my Satellite A505-S6973 keyboard has a backlight.
  I watch a lot of these new laptops and similar to mine, under the keyboard it is white and I don't know if that's how it's supposed to light. If so, can someone tell me.

  On the Toshiba U.S. support page I checked the specification for laptop computer and, of course, your laptop doesn t have this backlit keyboard.
  Just FYI: all illuminated keyboard have FN + Z option to turn on/off illumination.
  With other words symbol small keyboard will be on the Z key.

  This option, when the backlit keyboard is in the book is also available in Toshiba HWSetup tool.

• Satellite A505-S6017 (PSAT6U - 00L 001) - upgraded backlit keyboard?

  I have a new Satellite A505-S6017 who got water spilled on it, and now the keyboard is defective. Is it possible to upgrade to the backlit frames? MB connections will work and material can be configured?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  You are lucky, your laptop still works except keyboard after water spill. I work as an engineer at Hp computer service, and clients sometimes bring us computers completely dead after water, juice, coffee spill. Heh.

  Contact your Toshiba service center to solve the problem. but I do not know if the warranty covers the it. In Hp Centre of such situation is not covered. We do it just for the money.

• Satellite A505-s6970: Toshiba Service Station does not work on Windows 7

  Hey guys I need your help,

  I installed windows 7 ultimate on my toshiba Satellite A505 s6970 and I downloaded all the drivers from http://www.csd.toshiba.com/ and I installed all.

  When I open the Device Manager, 3 devices are not installed (Base-2 system device / / 1-Unknown device).
  Then I installed toshiba service station (Windows Vista / 7 32-64 bit because my windows is 64) it will search for and automatically download all necessary devices, but it does not work on windows 7, it worked perfectly in windows vista.

  Also the eco utility does not work, and the media touch buttons work just fine, but without giving that voice tone.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  To be honest I have no experience with this tool.
  I m using Tempro.

  However, I guess that Toshiba service station was not tested and not designed for Win 7 at the moment.
  You may need to wait for the next update that works correctly with Windows 7.

  You must understand that the Windows 7 drivers have been released in Beta version, it would mean that the final version would be released in the near future
  In my opinion, you should take a look from time to time on the Toshiba page we.
  I noticed that each new day pilot is released and released.

  Where and how can I get RunRegsvr.exe program?

  Thank you

  Hello

  According to some security sites this exe file is required for essential applications to work properly and the necessary system process should not be disabled.
  So it of a part of the windows system and one of the reasons of this problem could be that an essential part of Windows is damaged.
  Another reason: your antivirus has deleted regsvr.exe because your system might be infected by a malicious program.

  However, usually the new installation should work.
  You can use a CCleaner and might clean the registry to remove all traces of free software Config
