• 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.

  Hi all

  I'm curious to find out no matter who tried to upgrade their laptop series satellite A505-S6973 with windows vista Home premium x 64 chipset for windows 7 ultimate x 64.

  I ask because I would like to know if any compatibility problems, can the system host installation and with utilities pvat and eco are not.

  I need to update my system, but I want to do a clean install and wipe my drive means I'll lose all the drivers so I hope it's done and drivers are easy to spot for re-setup.

  Thanks for all suggestions, much appreciated.

• Satellite A505-S6973 and the OS upgrade

  Users of computers laptop toshiba colleagues,.

  I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has touchpad buttons and quickplay and wondering if I should upgrade my pc to Windows 7 I was able to use all these features (more eco and pc health monitor utility).

  I ask this because currently my pc has, which is supposed to be a hard disk of 500 GB, 317 GB of available hard disk space, but I barely information or documents stored on my system. I understand I have programs installed, but still for this amount.

  So, long story short, if I had to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and I installed the toshibha value added utility programs package and eco, that would be all I need to dload and install because I love this pc.

  Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can smell it the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slowly and always higher, the temperature on my system is currently 90% and 64% CPU TEMPERATURE FAN SPEED and I HAV my system set up to use low power.

  I enjoyed all the comments, suggestions and advice...

  I don't have a US mobile phone model and can't answer your second question, but I know with certainty that Win7 works well on the Satellite A500.
  Two months ago, I had the Satellite A500 friends home. Initially, it was pre-installed with Vista.
  I did two experiments to see how it works with Win7. First I updated it with the Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
  With the new installation of the OS, everything was OK also.

  Before Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to make sure what version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64 bit is completely compatible.

• Satellite C660 - intermittent failure of start

  Last month my Satellite C660 intermittently won't start. Frequency of failure seems to increase.

  The meter turns, the fan runs for 5 seconds (sometimes 15 seconds with an increase in speed at the end) and then the machine stops.

  No display of the bios.
  In this case only, the PSU batteries only or both connected. With HDD inside or outside, with or without ram.

  BIOS has been reset and updated and replace the bios battery.
  Without losing the connections internally.

  Product 19.3V DC POWER supply.
  No obvious pattern as to when it will start, but when it's W7 works very well.

  Would be grateful for any input.

  > In this case only, the PSU batteries only or both connected. With HDD inside or outside, with or without ram.
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say with certainty what the problem, but it must be something with the motherboard. One thing would be interesting: when the operating system starts correctly can you use unlimited number of time or is just cuts off after a while?

• Games on Satellite A505-S6973

  Gods of colleagues toshiba, good night.

  I would like to know if it is possible to play games on my toshiba satellie A505-S6973. A colleague of mine has a dell studio xps and it can that disgusted me because if he can do it why not can I and we all know toshiba is better.

  Is there something I'm missing, I think it is the graphics card being an edge or is it just some games I can play.

  If so can someone please direct me as to the types of games I can run. Would be nice to play some call of duty and... For the moment I tried to run fifa 2011 and it starts good then begins to freeze during play. Had the phone since August of last year, so I don't know if it's just the BONE that gives a question, if yes, then I'll have to upgrade to 7 but I hope this isn't the case.

  Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

  I played COD2 and COD4 on the laptop models much older, so I think you can try to play the two of them on your laptop.

  Maybe you shouldn't play newer games, but I think that your Toshiba must manage with games that have maybe one or two years.
  You just need to test.

• Satellite A505-S6973 - no sound from my laptop speakers

  I have an A505-S6973 and today I lost volume on my speakers. When I took my headphones, I hear, but without the headset is plugged in, I have no sound from my laptop speakers.

  I checked the Manager of devices for software problems but everything is erased, also, my volume is completely on.

  I tried a restore, but in vain, as I tried to uninstall and reinstall the extra value package but when you try to run the software after extraction it an error [0x8146045B] reports itself.

  This morning, everything seemed to work fine, the only thing I can think, I removed my places of sharing network of windows media.

  If that's the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re - install. In addition, value added package question, is there something that can be done, because the buttong enable/disable touchpad when press nothing happens, but if I use the function with F9 key it activates / deactivates.

  I really hope someone can help me, apparently, that it is an unlucky weekend for me.

• How to sort issues on Satellite A505-S6973

  Can anyone tell me if the warranty period on my laptop was not successful, can I find my computer toshiba laptop and have solved all my problems. Is there a cost to do some related software repair needs to be done and how I'm supposed to go about it, because my laptop starts to have all kinds of little mistakes, I noticed that my hard drive has used 156 GB even though I have about 60 gigs in use.

  Some multimedia keys do not work, but I the touch, my touchpad won't turn off with the hard button unless I turn it off using the FN key and my processor is low, but when I use a program I see that it is reached between 85 and 100% usage.

  I like much this laptop, but the issues I'm having I highly doubt it should work this way.

  I don't know what model of laptop you have, but if I understand you right that you just want to have good OS. Right?

  To do this, you need not to communicate with the service. Just reinstall with supplied operating system recovery Toshiba image and your laptop will have factory settings again.
  It will be like the day of purchase and after the first start.

  All that s!

  Are you satisfied with material? You've probably noticed some hardware related issues?

• Satellite A505-S6973 is overheating and the fan runs often

  I hate doing this, but it seems to me have encountered another problem that I was responsible for research and reading hoping to correct me. I currently own a Satellite series laptop PC with an Intel Cor 2 Duo T6500 processor 2.1Ghz.

  I followed my system for performance issues andi who have noticed for some time (not sure when) has significantly increased the temperature on my system. I'm seeing from my PC Health Monitor my processors running at 59% temperature and fan speed is at 78% and yet when I place my hand near the cooling fins on the side of my laptop, I can barely feel any breeze, but a colleague of mine has a vostro and fan feels like it will run on amendments.

  If there is nothing that can be done, I would be very happy, I'm afraid of losing my system because of something simple that cause overheating.

  NB. I noticed that at the same time different users posted threads indicating that after updating he BIOS they have known overheating problems. If this is the cause of anywhere near it please help.

  Hello

  Just a question;
  The unit automatically shut?

  If this is not the case then you cannot talk about overheating only because the temperature has risen to a higher level.
  The temperature of the laptop up and down and it depends on the use of the laptop.
  The cooling fans would go faster too if the temperature would be going upward.

  It's not unusual and it s a common behavior of mobile.

  As I said; the laptop would be down automatically stops if the temperature would be too high! If this isn't the case, then you should not be worried about the temperature.

  > Somehow when I put a CD in my player... He slip in my computer, but not in the drive and I can not find.

  You mean the disc is located inside the laptop and you can't find or remove it?
  I don't know how you managed to do something like that, but I think you need a help of a technician for laptop that I highly recommend contact the ASP in your country for assistance.

• Satellite A505-S6973 - mute and eco utility buttons not respons

  Hello again everyone,

  I apologize for this but I have a question about my account record.

  I posted a question earlier where whenever I press the mute buttons and eco utility I get no answer (just a beep the button mute).

  I pressed the fn man icon and button support and I see it says I must register the button but I have no idea where I have to browse to find the application to fix to save it.

  I hope someone can help me, I searched through the forums and the last time I posted the question to the answer that I had did not work.

  If anyone can help with this question I would appreciate it very much.

  Hello

  If you want to use the ECO button, you must also install the ECO utility.
  In General, the multimedia keys on Toshiba are controlled by VAP (value added package).

  In your case, I recommend you to reinstall this VAP.

  > I pressed the fn man icon and button support and I see it says I must register the button but I have no idea where I have to browse to find the application to fix to save it.

  Usually, you have to choose the application (exe file) that you want to use under this button

• 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.

• Satellite A505 - upgrade Windows 7 does not start

  Received the Toshiba update disc and the upgrade wizard identified 6 Toshiba components that are not compatible, or for which Windows has no information (Cyberlink, configfree, disc creator, utility eco, face recognition, region Select utility of Internal Modem).

  Update to Windows 7 never run and I guess I should do something with these 7. However, the Toshiba site, I see that many of them ARE most perceive version and some have no updates.

  Should I just delete these and try the update?

  Hello

  If the upgrade wizard shows that these versions are not compatible with Windows 7 you should remove. An upgrade to Windows 7 n t would be possible otherwise.

  I put t know what Satellite A505 you exactly, but on the European Web site most of the tools and drivers for Satellite A500 are already available for Windows 7.

• 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!

• Satellite A505 breaks down

  This laptop has begun recently to close (as it would if I pressed the power button) for no apparent reason.
  I suspect that it is because it is overheating, but there were a couple times when he did it in a few minutes of starting with nothing else running.

  I play on it, that's its main purpose. I tried running the fan speed, but it does not detect the fans in the computer laptop, yet very useful because I can monitor the temperature of the GPU and carrots. Just to give more information, usually the GPU is at 45-47 degrees Celsius when I don't turn all games and times of the nuclei are at 55-60 degrees Celsius.

  When I run games, the GPU temperature climbs to about 80, and carrots are somewhere in the range of 85 to 95 degrees. The fan seems it works and I have a cooler pad that the laptop is on.
  Ideas for what might have caused this? The laptop is around the age of 8 months, and it's a Satellite A505, i7 processor clocked at 1.6 ghz, graphic card nvidia GeForce 330 m with 4 GB of RAM.

  Have you already tried to clean the radiator?
  If you are a player and use the laptop for games I can imagine there are a lot of dust inside.
