Satellite A660 - 11 M: regular crashes, sometimes even before the BIOS...

• Satellite A500-138 - lighting buttons does not work even in the BIOS

  Hello.

  I'm just curious to know if anyone else has a problem with the (play/pause excatly) multimedia keyboard backlight? Mine died today, and there is nothing I can do to make it work again.

  The key still works, but when I turn on the backlight, backlight on everyone, but the play/pause (the backlight of the other keys work, touchpad and Satellite logo too).

  I use Windows 7, but the problem persists even in the BIOS.

  I think the backlight of the button is just dead.

  I have to admit I'm really disappointed with this laptop. Config is great, design and are also involved, but I can just take the couine noise that makes C2D (RMClock, one utility, I know that to solve this problem, does not recognize the A500 motherboard) and the fan almost never works to 70%, and now that the backlight...

  If the backlight of the multimedia key stops working after 3 weeks of use, which will be in the future? It's too scary to think ;)

  I was really excited by Toshiba, but day after day I come to the conclusion, that it is the first and the last laptop that I bought at Toshiba - never had similar problems on other laptops, same nonames.

  Of course, I know that I can has sent for fix, I guarantee (and wait about a month to get a backlight fixed stupid). But why hell not the backlight stoped working, if LEDs vitality is long as hell? It can mean two things: I really don't have a chance, or Toshiba did not pay too much attention to detail during production A500s. And after 3 weeks of use, I fear that the second option is much more likely...

  Then, someone has a feeling similar to this topic? And someone has a problem with backlight?

  Hello

  He damage of s to hear that your light has stopped working, but I think that it s just a software problem.
  I have a Satellite A500 equipped with buttons of enlightenment and everything works great with Vista and XP I m very satisfied.
  Unfortunately until that yet I didn't test with Win 7.

  I doubt you want to send this laptop for ASP, as I said, there seems to be a software problem and you can find it easily
  You must set the notebook to factory settings I mean that you must use the recovery disc in order to get the same State as on the first day of purchase

  Moreover, I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and, unfortunately, I didn't see no Win 7 drivers for this series at this time
  I guess that Windows 7 drivers will be released in the near future.
  So I wonder how you came to the button illumination because this feature requires the Toshiba driver and tools as well as the drivers aren't there?  :|

• RAM is not visible, I have 16 GB installed in the case (4x4Go), but only 8 GB has, even in the BIOS. All the 4 sticks of RAM are the same brand and compatible with my motherboard.

  I have 16 GB installed in the case (4x4Go), but only 8 GB has, even in the BIOS.
  All the 4 sticks of RAM are the same brand and compatible with my motherboard.
  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 - bit, which limit memory is 16 GB, so this isn't the issue.
  I got a few BSOD - 0 x 00000109 - errors that I work.
  I ran memtest86 for a few hours and he scored 4 errors during test cycles 7.
  These memtest errors concern the bars invisible RAM or the work those?
  Any ideas as to what should I do next?
  See you soon!
  Data sheet:
  Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit
  Intel Core i7-3820 @ 3.6 GHz
  ASUS P9X79
  GeForce GTX 650
  Team elite Dual Channel DDR3 4 GB 1333 Mhz x 4

  Thanks Joel,

  I started to individually test RAM when I noticed a quirk in the way they were organized in their locations.
  I downloaded the manual for my P9X79 and he confirmed that they were arranged in mirror mode.
  I switched two of the sticks to adjacent slots and, Lo and behold, the full 16 GB presented at startup.
  So that's one mystery solved at least.
  I'll raise the memtest to see if it includes several errors and if so will continue to individually control the RAM sticks.
  Thanks again.

• Satellite A660 - 11 M WLan cannot be used after the installation of vmware 3.1.1

  I have a problem with my new laptop Satellite A660 - 11M.

  When I use some VM install VmWare Player 3.1.1 the wireless doesn't work anymore.
  When I push the button to activate the wireless, the led does not illuminate and the FN + F8 key said that the wireless is not enabled.

  I tried to uninstall VMPlayer, but the rest of the problem.
  I also tried to reinstall the Wlan driver.

  Only if I ask a recovery point before the installation of vmWare are all ok.
  You have an idea about the problem?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I know that this question. the VM (virtual machine) is NOT compatible with the Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.
  The virtual machine affect the functionality of the FN buttons.
  Therefore, delete this system in order to use the FN keys.

• Re: Satellite C660-1F1 won't turn on even with the AC adapter is plugged

  Hello

  I need help.
  I have a portable c660-1F1. It will come with the charger plugged.
  Trying to hook up without the battery and it will not turn on. I don't know what the problem is.

  I took the battery and took out the charger and you press the button power for 30 seconds and nothing.

  Did a CMOS reset and nothing.
  Took one on the memory and replaced it, but nothing.

  I don't know what the problem is. I even took the internal battery and see if that makes a difference.
  Nothing happened. Still won't turn.
  I think it may be the internal fuse if there is?
  Or if could be the port if the laptop? The charger works fine.

  The battery life is very good and I think I'm out of options and I'm afraid that it might be the motherboard and if yes, then I guess I can replace the card mother, but don't know if it works.

  Can someone help me?

  > The battery is fine and I think I'm out of options and I'm afraid that it might be the motherboard and if yes, then I guess I can replace the card mother, but don't know if it works.

  It looks like the motherboard.
  It would be the worst case, because the new motherboard is really expensive: about 300

  Do you think that its worth a try? I have not... in that case I would ask a technician to check the hardware.

  What would you do if you buy a mobo and finally you will discover that it is not question of mobo?

• Satellite Pro P100-327 no visual don't screen the bios startup

  Hi guys,.

  I have a problem that I think has been there since I upgraded my Satellite Pro P100-327 XP to vista Business.
  At the start, I have more no Visual on the screen until I see the windows logo. Computer works fine otherwise.

  Now a year and a half later I want to load Windows 7 and I can't see the bios screen. F12, F2 or esc. do not help me even if the computer does not stall but I do not see on the screen. I have the latest version of the bios and the nvidia drivers as far as I know.

  The only thing that I did not understand everything is the 'value added package' I think it's the small "HW" program, I downloaded the latest version and clicked on load HW in the control panel. Windows has asked if I wanted to go forward and I saw nothing else after that.

  thaks a lot if anyone can help

  Hello

  For me, this looks like a problem of monitor settings but I don't know m.
  You are using an external monitor or have you changed the monitoring (from simple to double mode) mode?

  In your case, I could connect an external monitor and see what happens. Have you noticed the same problem on external monitor?

  In the worst case, there is something wrong with the internal display, but this should be verified by a technician of the laptop.

• Satellite Pro A300-28R - how to enable virtualization in the BIOS?

  I tried to enable the setting of virtualization in the BIOS and the setting is disabled and I was unable to change the setting to activate. I have flashed the BIOS to the new version, and now how to enable virtualization has completely disappeared.
  The laptop model is Satellite Pro A300-28R with Windows 7 Professional and BIOS version 2.10.

  How do I enable virtualization setting so I can run Windows Virtual PC mode to run compatible programs XP?

  Hello

  Did you check the specifications of your laptop first?

  The fact is that the processor must support this virtualization and according to the Web of Toshiba site, your laptop is equipped with processor Core 2 Duo T5870.
  I checked this on the page of Intel CPU and virtualization isn't supported. That means t, you can use this feature!

I tried, clean XP SP3 and other Toshiba utils, programs like drive HARD silencer, Ubuntu, now I'm working on Win 7 RC, the problem remains, even when I select No to turn off the hard disk in the Windows settings.

  Can someone help me?

  Have you tried to reset the BIOS to its default settings?

• Satellite Pro A120: Reset password disk HARD known through the BIOS

  Satellite Pro A120SE
  HARD drive password is known - no problem.
  According to Toshiba, the HARD drive password can be reset in the BIOS.

  By following the instructions in the documentation, a new password is entered, but a 'beep' is returned and it is clear that the password has not been changed.
  A support call was placed about 2 months there with the dealer who couldn't solve the problem. The dealer contacted Toshiba support helpdesk who told them that HARD drive password reset should be possible and they had no explanation or solution.

  Any help is greatly appreciated.
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  As much as I know the HARD drive password cannot be removed or reset.

• Satellite Pro L300-1FN does not start - hang at the BIOS splash screen

  My Satellite Pro L300-1FN refuses to start. When turned on the laptop displays the home screen toshiba/insyde H20 BIOS and the message "press F2 go to the Setup utility, F12 to go to the start menu" and flashes the light access to the hard drive, but don't try to continue loading. I left the bios at the start screen, but it doesn't do anything for long hours on a power supply or is running the battery flat while on battery.

  Is there a way to re - put the BIOS on this unit? If it's a desktop unit I would remove the CMOS battery to force a reset of the BIOS but that's impossible on a laptop. The hard drive is fine because I have it plugged into another system to remove valuable data.

  Hello

  What happens if you press F2 when starting the laptop to the top?
  You can access the BIOS?
  If so, access the BIOS and set its default value. I think you need to press F9 or F10 to get default parameters, but this will be mentioned at the bottom of the page of the BIOS.

  Check it!

• Satellite M40 does not load before the BIOS screen

  When I turn on my Satellite M40 unfortunately it does not happened on 7/8ths blue bar going across the screen.

  That left me completely baffled as what to do.

  Apparently, it could be repaired by removing the cables on my CMOS battery?

  If someone knows how I would go all this? or have any other ideas?

  Thank you xx

  Hi Dec,

  Blue scroll bars indicate that the Wondiows operating system is loaded from the hard drive. If this process hangs while loading, then it is likely that the hard drive itself is defetive or else the files that are being loaded are corrupt and cannot be loaded.

  Interfere with the CMOS chip will not fix this problem because the BIOS has already been loaded at this point.

  If you have access to a bootable CD/DVD (such as Norton Disk Doctor) then I siggest you boot from it and running a scan of your hard drive. Alternatively you can try reinstalling your operating system of the Toshiba recovery CD but it won't replace your own data on your hard drive.

• Satellite L100: CD/DVD drive is not recognized in the Bios or workstation

  Satellite L100 - 170 No.PSLA3E model 02501QEN under Win XP.

  The icon of the CD/DVD drive has disappeared from the desktop and is not listed in the Device Manager or showing in the BIOS.
  There is power to the drive and the tray ejects OK
  I tried to use the ease of adding new hardware in the Control Panel, but it does not list a CD player.
  I removed the disc and then re - it sitting, but it made no difference.

  I used the restoration of the system for the last available date 26 January 08, but it does not restore the CD player... and I have none, he worked at that time.
  I don't think it's a faulty drive, because he is picking up power and when you insert a CD, it starts as if she was about to read the disc, but nothing appears on the screen.

  The laptop belongs to a child with autism and all I can get out he is "I don't know" when asked what happened to the laptop.
  Sorry I don't have any other information.

  Can anyone help.

  Thank you

  Well, usually if the CD/DVD drive doesn t appear in the BIOS or BIOS cannot recognize the ODD then chances are that the CD/DVD drive is malfunctioning.

  But the best way to check this is a new installation of the OS. You should try to boot from a bootable XP CD.
  If the laptop would be able to boot from the CD, then the material is ok.

• Satellite Pro L300 will not start - cannot get into the BIOS

  Dear,

  I got a satellite Pro L300, width a HARD drive partitioned, with Win XP installed C and D with Windows 7 installed, the problem is the following:

  Days when I turned on my laptop, the OS splash screen appears, stop boot on Toshiba logo process.
  In addition, I can't enter the BIOS with the F2 key or the Boot Manager by using the F12 key.

  Help, please.

  > stop boot on Toshiba logo process
  This means that the laptop can not pass the POST (power on self test) properly and it would mean that a hardware problem has been detected on the motherboard.

  Remove one of the modules RAM (check both) and try to turn on using a single module of RAM.
  It is possible that one of the RAM modules is defective

  It would also be possible that the motherboard is malfunctioning, as you can see, it is hard to say what role could be wrong, but what looks like a serious hardware failure
