• Satellite A60 - very slow USB transfer speed

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A60 with XP Home and the USB transfer speed is very very low. Is 2.0, but it is not working properly, because it takes about 30 minutes to copy the data from 1 GB on a USB 2.0 drive externally.

  I tried my USB drives on another computer and work quickly and well, so it is probably just a problem of drivers, but can't find them on the web from Toshiba to reinstall them. I heard that it is a common problem after installation of XP Service Pack 2, but I didn't do anything, I use the operating system as it came when I bought the laptop (with XP Home SP2 preinstalled original), I do not change any configuration or install drivers that can affect to the USB controllers and it has always been so slow.

  Could someone help? I tried to reinstall the drivers from Toshiba, but I think that there are not more special just for the USB, what should I update then? I need to improve the transfer speed of USB data for professional purposes, because I can't lose so given at the time of the transfer, please please please help!

  PS: Sorry for my terrible English, but it is there no Toshiba forums on my tongue: P

  Hello

  USB drivers are part of the operating system and you are unable to download the USB drivers separately.
  In my view, it is really not necessary to reinstall the USB drivers because the USB HDD is recognized correctly and it works.

  USB 2.0 transfer speed 480 Mbps supports and if any didn't error message then the USB ports running at full speed.

  For more details, please see this page of Microsoft;

  Last but not least I would recommend to update the XP to the last State. I mean that you need to install all of the available patches and fixes.

• Satellite A200-1TW - slow performance even with a SSD HARD drive

  I replaced the HARD drive of 160 GB for a Seagate Momentus XT 500 GB and even a Samsun 830 256 GB SSD, but my HARD drive performance is very slow.

  How can I increase the performance of my HARD drive?

  I have 4 GB of RAM and I am using Windows 7 Home.

  What do you mean exactly by the slow HARD drive performance.

  As far as I know the laptop supports a SATA I (1.5 Gbit/s / 150 MB/s) the HARD disk controller.
  Even if you would upgrade the laptop with a SSD drive that supports 3 Gbps, the controller could slow performance.

• Satellite C660-23rd - slow performance

  Anyone can help solve my current problem with the Satellite C660-23rd?

  It is likely the slowest competitor, that I have ever used. To perform any task on this machine has become extremely boring, opening even the internet explore takes at least a minute to load up not to mention the dispute between the tabs.

  Is there a simple solution to this frustrating problem? Is it defective?

  Thanks in advance

  Are you using the original operating system preinstalled that you got with your laptop?

  How to check for hardware conflicts?

  No new software installed, no. Windows Update turned on so I'm excluding the chances of any question of software!

  Toshiba...
  Help, please!

  > How to check for hardware conflicts?
  Well, if you can exclude the problems of the (software) system (and I think you can do this because the laptop should run stable and properly after restoring the laptop) we assume that your laptop problems might be related to malfunction of the equipment.

  What part of the material could go wrong function? Well, I m thinking on the HARD drive or memory.
  I think you should check if the HARD drive is OK. For this, you can use some HARD drive diagnostic tools as for example disk HARD drive fitness test.

  Of course, you could also swap the HARD drive and was able to recover the laptop using the new disc HARD just to check if the same question would never happen again.

• Ubuntu Jaunty on Satellite A60 (PSA60E) - Fn keys and brightness do not work

  Hello, I am unable to use the Fn keys on my laptop, probably due to acpi problems (while the initialization of the system tells me "not connected to IO-APIC timer").
  I should update my bios (currently I have ' acpi bios v1.70 ") or what?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  I doubt that the update of the BIOS might help, but of course, you could try updating the BIOS.
  On the European driver Toshiba page I found version 1.90
  He placed in the Archive s (product type choose Archive)

  But I think you will need go to windows OS in order to update the BIOS because it s only executable for Windows OS.

  In addition, please note that the FN buttons must Hotkey Utility is a tool of Toshiba but it s only for Windows operating system there are no tools for Linux so I doubt you could get these keys running Linux

  It seems that your BIOS has been flashed properly
  But reset the BIOS is possible from an ASP application so that you can make t by yourself.

  I think you should contact the nearest ASP that you can find on the Toshiba site:

  I m sure that the technicians will help you as soon as possible. :)

• Satellite A60 - do not start after power supply fault!

  Hello

  I know it's a long shot, but here's the situation!
  I had a Toshiba Satellite A60 PSA60E for repair.

  He had the power plug inserted into the back of the case of the break taking, damaging U4 and hit 3 resistors.

  I have now replaced the socket, transplanted the resitors counsel doner and welded in a new IC (U4).

  Now when I turn on I get the LED illuminating as expected (Inc. that blue on the power button) but nothing on the screen, no fan, no disk buzzing etc away.

  Ideally, I would like to try subing cpu etc but don't have any alternative to play with.

  If any ideas whatelse could be wrong on that?

  Not sure I want to risk the cost of a new motherboard (that they is availible) or that it would be interesting to the replacement of the machine.

  Look forward to some good advice
  Thanks Jon

  Hi Jon

  Unfortunately, I n t think that someone here in the forum will give you a precise answer and provide the solution it seems that it s a motherboard problem.
  As you know that the computer motherboards are complex parts with many electronic details.
  It of impossible to say what could be the problem on the Board without any detailed controls.

  To my knowledge, card repair mother is not so easy and expensive so you should not pay for the repairs, but buy a new Board of Directors which is covered by the warranty or second hand board which is much cheaper

• Satellite T110-11U: WLan connection dropped and very slow performance

  Hi people,

  I use a Satellite T110-11U running windows 7 Home premium.

  After having initially was very satisfied with its use, it now becomes more and more frustrating to use with wifi, with connections dropped and very slow performance.

  I have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem. It seems that wireless, software of management is at fault because the networks are detected, but not clinging.

  Any suggestion or tips to try will help save my sanity!

  Thanks for your help.

  John

  > have updated the BIOS and think I have updated all drivers wirelss, but could be the problem.
  If you need to make sure that you use the latest WLan driver.
  The driver can be downloaded here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  The laptop uses the Realtek RTL8191SE of WLan card.
  Please also reset the settings of the Wlan router. I had a lot of problems with my WLan and after the reset of the router, performance problems disappeared.

• Satellite A205-S5864 - stop itself and the slow performance

  I'm new to this forum, so help me out anyway you can.

  I noticed that my Toshiba laptop showing odd behavior lately. She recently began to stop himself suddenly without warning. We arrived at the point where it is a regular occurrence. I don't know what it is, if the computer is starting to show it's age, or a hardware problem, etc.. I hope that's not die because this computer begins to happen over two years. The computer knows that he was arrested not because I get the message that this was not decommissioned and how I want to start in.
  I also noticed that, even though I have a core 2 processor, the computer takes awhile to start. I don't know how to improve the performance, because I regularly clean the registry and trash. I have norton 360 along with spyware blaster.

  any input would be appreciated. I will post more details that are necessary.

  Hello

  I m not A205 owner but on my computer Toshiba laptop, I got the same problem it stops and the reason was a higher internal CPU temperature. So I ve looked in the forum and founded an interesting article on the cleaning of a Toshiba laptop. That's why you need compressed air and you can clean without disassembly.
  Check this box!

  Your slow performance it of difficult to say something on this issue, but in most cases it s advisable to reinstall Windows.
  In my opinion the Norton antivirus slows performance a little so I m using the software tool free AntiVir.

  BTW, did you remove Toshiba TEMPRO?

  Hello
  It seems to me that the SATELLITE A60-197ITA USB ports aren't really high speed. They are very slow!
  Some diagnose program says that the BIOS supports USB Legacy...

  What is the problem?
  What can I do to have the best performance?

  Hello

  I put t know what external device you use, but in my view it is also the external device power function.

  Legacy support can be enabled in the HW of Toshiba installation tool. You can find it under control panel.

  can someone help me please.

  Hello

  First of all, I would like to know you detailed unit name. What is a Satellite Pro A60 or only by Satellite A60?
  On the unity of the Toshiba power saver should be preinstalled.
  This tool manages the cooling module and CPU.
  I think you should check the settings in the energy saver utility.
  Here you can change the settings for maximum performance for the cooling method.
  You can also try to change the speed of the CPU processing.
