• Satellite P100: Multiprocessor is disabled in the BIOS v4.20

  Hello

  I have just updated the bios to 4.20, after reboot, I went to the bios settings and saw that the multiprocessor (the option for the use of 2 CPUs) is disabled.

  After I enabled it, the computer is very slow, and I had problems with starting the computer.

  When the multiprocessor option is disabled, the computer works ok, but the Task Manager indicates that a single processor.

  I had to go down to the bios to version 4.00.
  I would like to know if there is another solution for this.

  Hello

  In front of me, I have Satellite P100-191. I did the BIOS update to version 4.20, and in my case, Multiprosessor is undoubtedly permissible. In this case, the entry in the Device Manager shows 2 processors.

  I disabled this option and the laptop runs slowly than before and in the device manager what a processor is listed.

  I don't really know what is wrong in your case, but I can confirm that the Satellite P100-191 friends, everything works well.

• Re: Satellite Pro A200 - black screen after the BIOS screen

  Hello
  I'm new to the forum and have a big problem. So, any help is welcome and appreciated.

  My Satellite Pro A200 turns black after the BIOS screen and a black screen with a blinking cursor. Also just as the screen goes black a beep can be heard which shows windows boot.
  I can access the toshiba Setup screen but not the installation of security mode.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  You wrote that you can access the BIOS, but have you checked if the HARD drive is recognized properly? Perhaps because the computer cannot start HDD isn't recognized then you should check this.

  If the HARD drive is recognized, I would try a Toshiba Recovery disk recovery facility. It seems that Windows isn't able to start and if you reinstall the whole system should help get rid me of this. Go to the start menu and select the CD/DVD drive as a boot device.

  Check this box!

• Satellite A660 - 12 fall down during the update of the BIOS, start again

  Hi all

  I bought my laptop A660-12th in June 2010, and a few months I've been encountering frequent problems of freezing of the screens, stops unsollicitated... so I decided to clean up my computer and update programs the computer base (including the BIOS) with the latest versions available on the Toshiba site, hoping it would be more correctly.

  Then, when it came to upgrading the BIOS. I wanted to do it slowly because I know this is the most delicate point in the update, but I don't know what is happening during this step: program launched barely (and it was the only program running) that it has been already updated my BIOS, and in this special moment my laptop automatically go restarted... obviously I don't have BIOS more because my computer does not start still, the screen does not display anything AT ALL. There is just the noise of the fan and the lights when I turn it on, but that's all.

  I am so very angry to the Toshiba BIOS update program (and also Toshiba), because I feel that I have everything done correctly, but nevertheless this update bricked just my computer.

  Is it possible to get it back, or do you also think it bricked and lost?

  I'm afraid BIOS is dead now and what you need now is a professional help from m.
  I highly recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider, explain the situation and ask for help.

• Satellite A660 - 1 HL-problems with the graphics card

  Hello!

  This is my first thread so I apologize if I am doing something wrong and for my bad English. :)

  Just bought a Toshiba Satellite A660 - 1 hl with two adapters, integrated and a GeForce GT 330 M. The integrated works well, but when I go to the dedicated I encounter problems. The non-adjustable resolution in optimal mode and windows in the operating system (windows 7) delays when moving. I can't get info on the map in all kinds of temperature programs or dxdiag and such others.

  I tried to install the drivers from nvidia, Toshiba and windows update with no improvement. I can't run Windows expreince index because I get an error message or of any average games do I encounter error messages there as well. I begin to doubt that the drivers installed even.

  I hope you guys can help out me :)

  It comes to getting the error messages:

  You should test the RAM (memory) for problems using the Test of memory of Microsoft or the www.memtest.org (bootable CD).

  To confirm that this is a hardware problem, you must save your documents and run recovery.

  If the problem still occur on a new image, then the laptop should go to an ASP (Toshiba Service Center) for repairs (possibly a motherboard replacement).

• Official Satellite A660 cant get and iTunes-64 updates moved

  Hello

  I've had my laptop for about 3 weeks now and have a few problems that maybe someone here can help with :)
  It's a Toshiba Satellite A660 Windows 7 64 bit, with all the options of support authorized toshiba - tempro, health bulletin board etc.

  Problem 1:
  The chips toshiba Board asked me to update a load of stuff - Bios, display drivers, wireless drivers etc.
  The only update (seems... it did not freeze at least) worked was the update of the broadcom wireless driver.
  So, for the update of the display, I download the file, unzip it and nothing is passes - I have tried to run the tinstallwb.exe.
  I am asked if I want the program to change the hard drive, I say Yes... and that's the last I've heard of it... tried for hours to make it work, but I look at a desktop computer without activity. In the folder to archive, if I try and run the setup.exe (the nvidia part) it says that no valid nvidia hardware has been detected.

  Problem 2:
  I tried the bios update, Bulletin Board asked me to install... it didn't, didn't want to install.

  Problem 3:
  I spend most of the time the laptop turned off, because it freezes on the screen of closing...

  Problem 4:
  Prob not a toshiba problem - but I can not install Quicktime or iTunes... the installer just freezes (it goes in not responing well) - I left runningn elaptop th for about 4 hours yesterday, trying to install itunes 64-bit until I had to kill the task (and turn it off, like shutdown does not work)

  Any ideas, I've given up trying to update the updates that the toshiba Council services told me to put up-to-date?
  I tried the update obvious everything I can, but the toshiba updates do not update :(
  Other software: MS Office and Outlook, firefox.

  Thanks for any help,

  Andy

  Hello

  (1) you can download all the drivers directly from the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  If you really need an update, then you must download the file, should save on the HARD drive should unzip the package and must be run setup.exe or should update the driver from Device Manager.

  (2) this is a HowTo doc on update of the BIOS:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/Ann.jspa?annID=60
  If this is not possible, then your Windows operating system might be confused to the top and maybe you should get the phone before performing a BIOS update.

  (3) as suggested above; all these questions could be linked to the damaged operating system and maybe you need to reinstall the operating system to make it work again.

  (4) see point 3

• Satellite L300-1 has 3 - after the BIOS update, I get a BSOD

  I have a Satellite L300 1A 3 MODEL PSLB8E. I decided to update the version of the BIOS, thinking that he can resolve my issue of ethernet controller.

  But after the update, my laptop goes on infinite blue screen of death. How can I recover from this injury?

  Can someone please help.

  Hello

  Did you choose the good BIOS update for your model? Was it for Satellite L300 PSLB8E?

  What code you get BSOD?

  After the BIOS update you must always load the default settings. Maybe a bad BIOS setting is causing this BSOD.

• Satellite A660 - 11 M - vents on the body

  Hi all!

  Last week, I started to play ARMA 2 on my SATELLITE A660 - 11M and after 20 minutes of play, it of hot and automatically closed. I read a lot of topics in the forum and decide to clean the cooler with compressed air can. Suddenly ive noticed this laptop isn't under the reoxygenation of body orifices, exactly where where is the cooler fan. To describe this more correctly, I can say that on the side rear of the body of the laptop there is circle from vents but this grid is absolutely fully molded.
  I think it comes to Foundry defects.

  Anyone has the same problem? How can I do a breakdown of the holes?

  Hey,.

  If you mean the holes to vent on the bottom of your computer, I can say it s normal Satellite A660 doesn t have a. Friend of me has the same laptop as you and its a doesn t have holes to.
  So everything is ok with your laptop!

  It would interesting to know, if you have installed another nVidia display driver directly. These drivers have another thermal management and can cause problems.

  I recommend you to install the latest Toshiba display driver which is pretested.

• Satellite L30 does not start after the BIOS update

  Hello

  I upgraded my BIOS Satellite L30 and now the laptop will not boot. When I turn on the fan starts and that's it. I think I have updated the book with the bad BIOS... The laptop is only 1 day old... Is it possible to reset the machine to the default BIOS.

  Help, please...

  Hi Scott,.

  Unfortunately there is no easy way for you to go to your BIOS to its previous level. You need to entrust your laptop to a Service approved partner who has the necessary equipment to Flash the BIOS to the previous level.

  Kind regards

• Satellite L300D - does not load after the BIOS update

  I had to update my bios & it seems that that wrong has been downloaded about 3% by installing the laptop just die and not to revert to.

  There is no lights & there is no noise from the laptop at all.

  Can any ideas on how I fix?

  Well, if the BIOS update crashed you can do anything because the ROM module needs to be reflashed. This is possible only with special tools and only an authorized service provider has such tools.

  Then please contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help :)

• Satellite A660 - Bluetooth problem - disappeared from the bar of the State etc.

  Dear all,

  frustrated newbie.

  Bluetooth has disappeared from the system on my Satellite A660 tray and I can't work out how to get it back.
  It worked a few months ago, but since I don't use it everyday,
  I did not notice when he disappeared.

  I tried the fsquirt.exe thing, but the icon opens a window that does nothing (it seems to me that bluetooth is off but I can't find where to turn it on and Fn + F8 does not work).

  I have downloaded the driver atheros, which is extracted to a temporary folder and then does nothing.
  I think I need to uninstall - reinstall but do not know how to proceed.

  Any ideas appreciated.

  arghh

  Arfur

  All this is a bit complicated on your laptop. I assume that stick Toshiba BT (BT software) is always pre-installed on your machine. Can you please check?

  Using the FN key combination you can toggle WIFI and BT. When you say that it does not work how to understand this? Can you turn on WLAN on/off? BT option IS missing? You can use the WLAN button placed between the keyboard and display (function keys)?

  Please check such fundamental things in first and post more details. Later we continue to discuss reinstalling drivers.

• Satellite A660-1FM - maximum resolution of the display of the external monitor

  Hi all

  Maybe it is (probably) an easy question to answer, but I have a Satellite A660-1FM and want to use it with my external screen Samsung Syncmaster (forgot model). I got a HDMI-> DVI - D adapter and everything is going well, but here's my question:

  The page of specifications of toshiba for my laptop (http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A660-1FM/1096013/toshibaShop/false/) shows a capacity of external resolution of:
  Maximum resolution: 2 048 x 1 536
  Max refresh rate: 100 Hz
  Resolution No interlaced with the maximum refresh rate: 1920 x 1 200

  But I get what I call resolution HDMI standard (no wonder, I guess) when connected HDMI-> DVI - D to my external monitor. I have already run this monitor on my desk at highest resolution of 1080 p, so the monitor is capable.
  Wondering what I'm missing here, or is that a matter of graphics card specification is more than possible to the output of the laptop?

  Thanks for any help
  Andy

  Hi Khaled,

  What is the native screen resolution of your external display?
  Can you connect your laptop and monitor with HDMI cable only why you need an adapter?

  To be honest I don't understand your question. If you already have the Full HD screen resolution why do you need more?

• Satellite A660 - won't backup as the corrupt C: drive

  Satellite A660

  My laptop is a month and I've tried and tried to save, but it fails every time with the following message. What I need to bring to a repairer or is there something I can do to put it right.
  Windows skipped C:\Users\UpdatusUser\Documents backup because it is about corrupt C:\ drive.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Hey,.

  Correctly the HARD disk (drive c :)) has bad sectors and therefore a backup can t be polite.)
  Have you also tried other software like Acronis image backup?

  You should try to run chkdsk in DOS box. Maybe it can recognize and fix a bad sector.

  In the worst cases, your HARD drive needs to be replaced, but A660 is fairly new laptop to an authorized service provider can do it for free.
