• Satellite U500-17F: problems with the new HARD drive

  Hi everyone, I got some troubleshooting with my Satellite and a new drive, I bought recently, because that is already damaged because of too many bad sectors. One is a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 Bg (WD3200BEKT model number). It should be a fast reader but is not with my Satellite.

  After having mounted the drive in the laptop, I ran a new installation (with full disk format} Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the necessary drivers (that I downloaded directly from the Page of Support Toshiba.)

  The problem is that the laptop needs a lot of time to start and also to disable, and whenever I try to run an application or start a program (for example Firefox, or just a few windows applications), the laptop freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds, the drive no longer works (you can hear leaders put in position 'parking' and the HDD LED control is constant) ", no lights flashing).

  It seems that the drive (during this 30-60 seconds) in something as a stand-by mode. I ran a few Western Digital diagnostic tools and the car looks all right to 100%. It works also without any problems in the other laptop (HP Pavilion DV6500). Could this be a problem with the controller (Intel ICH9M - E ATA AHCI controller) driver?

  Any suggestion?
  Thanx

  Hello

  You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check if you need a BIOS update. Of course I read in a few discussions on the similar question of Win XP you use Win 7 but its value to check the update of the BIOS and U500 series.

  In addition, I recommend check you the power of Windows 7 options.
  Disable in the power profile that you use power saving HDD.

  Just a question:
  You use the option AHCI in the BIOS?
  As far as I know it of possible to use either a compatible SATA AHCI mode.
  AHCI must be used because this option would use full SATA performance.

• Satellite C660D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected

  My laptop is a * Toshiba Satellite C660D-11th * and I have a message that keeps coming up every once in a while 'alert system' head and reads as follows: "WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." (Next line) Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service. »

  I had this warning for the coming weeks and it tolerated, but it worsened and annoyed me for the last time. I can hear the fan and the computer is not over heating (the CPUCool freeware tool detects a 51º CPU temprature C). No further questions arise as the computer slows down, it is right in the path of what I do, like typing right now.

  I tried to solve the problem by changing the "Power Options" in the control panel of Windows 7 'High Performance', and then selected under the 'battery' both 'Sector' columns, 'Never' for the parameter "put the computer to sleep. It seems to work, and no error message has occurred since then. However, this is not a solution...

  Please help quickly, this prevents me from working and even other things now.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Usually, this message would appear if something is not wrong with the cooling system. But I read here in the forum that maybe it's a bug of software and after new system recovery this message should no longer appear.

  But if you notice some upper temperature or abnormal noises, then I recommend to check this with a service technician

• Satellite C850 - found problems with the networking and the FN key

  Hey everybody,

  I work on a Satellite Toshiba C850, that my parents recently bought and spin in a certain number of questions.

  (1) wireless won't connect to my network. Have done the following: verified by connecting on two other computers, reset the router, the open network, reset the map, reinstalled the realtek drivers, checked the settings in the networking of Toshiba Utilities. End result is he's going to try, and fail. Wired LAN works fine.

  (2) FN key does not work. Have you checked the region and it is OK, have tried to use the Flash cards - no change, checked with the screen keyboard and can check the FN key does not register.

  I noticed that the first problem is common, but there are obvious positive results. If anyone can offer any assistance, I would appreciate it a lot.

• Satellite C40D-C - problems with the system

  I recently bought an a toshiba satellite C40D-C Series notebook PC as my old satellite - essentially - is dying. After you connect to the internet, I tried to download AVG Antivirus on my computer that I don't have - and never - trust McAfee anti-virus that comes with the computer. Every time downloaded AVG then restart my computer, the computer goes directly into the automatic repair system and doesn't let me do anything but to reset or restore. This has happened even with completely removed McAfee. I've been on AVG directly today (January 15), and they have to do remote set-up for me - with the same results. Yes, I'm aware that McAfee is a selfish cry of a system and refuses to acknowledge any other antivirus, but that this issue happens even with completely removed McAfee shows clearly that it is something that Toshiba has worked in the system. I can't even disable the automatic repair tool. I have to be stuck with a McAfee antivirus which, moreover, does not yet or is Toshiba will make an effort to help solve a problem they caused?

  Why this computer isn't allowing AVG Antivirus work? And why, after each attempt to download AVG, the computer goes to auto repair whenever I shut down or restart? Is this a problem with the system or something, Toshiba has done on purpose?

• Satellite U400 - 10L: problem with the start-up & reboot

  Hello

  Well I don't like much about the touchpad overheating but I have a problem. When I restart this mobo instead of activate after a reboot it stays black without any reaction only lower diods, dvd - rom and the display flashes (can't hear fan or hard drive).

  If I press the power button / stop all the icons of diod (ac, pwr, hdd bat) shine up just for a second and new (can't hear the fan hard drive or cpu) computer does not turn on. All this happened only when AC cable is connected to the power if I use just notebook power source battery boots and restart without problems.

  If I remove battery completely from the laptop, once more, I get the same symptoms (cannot start). And the saddest part of this story is the fact that I got brand new Toshiba U400 10 L to the seller and got a new.
  It has the exact same problem.
  As you all probably understand im crazy because in the last two days, I tried really everything, including the BIOS without flashing and the success.

  Well im not sure whats going on, but this could be the problem with the battery or a bad contact?
  Any ideas?
  I would return it back?

  Thanks much for the reply

  Hello

  The behavior of your laptop is really strange and I suppose it might be bound only to a hardware problem.

  A friend of mine couldn't t start the laptop connected to the AC adapter the power adapter is faulty. It was only possible to start Notepad using the battery, and only if the battery was not completely empty.

  I put t know if your AC adapter failures but the authorized service provider should definitely check out the laptop and accessory for laptop (AC adapter).

  Then call the ASP in your country and ask the technicians for later handling.

  Greetings

• Satellite A660 - 07P problem with the pointer of the mouse using the touchpad

  I just bought my A660 07P last Thursday, September 15, 10 and I noticed that I had problems with the mouse pointer using the touchpad.

  From time to time, the cursor/pointer is locked and seems something like a button up and down.
  I assume it's because it's on a mode of waiting, but in this case as every 5 minutes.
  When it is locked, it will also change the zoom percentage when the touchpad is struck. It is very not when I'm in the middle of something and I can not move the pointer. In addition, the start is very slow.

  BTW, I have not installed any programs or applications. I'm still testing until Friday, otherwise I'll go back to where I bought it.

  Hi mate

  This isn't touchpad problem.
  I guess as support for computer laptop MULTI-TOUCH PAD
  There are a few additional features supported by touchpad, and I think that you have enabled this while using the touchpad

  The touchpad supports the features:
  _ChiralMotion_
  You can scroll vertically and horizontally

  _Pinch Zoom_
  This feature provides functionality like the scroll wheel zooming

  _Rotating (chiral spin) _
  This provides gestures to rotate the photos and other objects

  _Momentum_
  This feature provides a smooth, fast trackball as the movement of the mouse. A quick finger on the touchpad surface can move the sliders in the entire screen.

• Problem with the laptop overheats.

  Hi all

  I am working on a DELL laptop. He even sends warm air by her orifices. I think that probably there are some (or large amount of) dust on hardware devices inside.
  I know that the best way is to open it and clean these parts by a compressor (for example), but there are two points here:
  1-do you agree that this hot air is due to dust and I need to solve this problem by the shears of cleaning equipment?
  2. I did not open any computer laptop ever, a little scared (because this laptop is not mine). You always tell me to do? If so, what are the rules I have to observe before, when and after you open the laptop?

  Thank you.

  You can sometimes get the lint and dirt outside blowing into the cooling in the other direction with the laptop turned off but it must be a blow hard. The short pulses with a can of airduster spray is more effective.

  Unfortunately, if it's really boilerplate it may not work and the fan removed to erase it. It's the ease varies depending on the model. There are many videos of portable Louise on utube certainly of a different quality. Unless you are 100% sure they can be a bit complicated because there are a of clips often hidden to save any screws holding together

• H satellite L505-13 - problem with the resolution of games

  Hello, I have a problem with the resolution of games, I just that:
  800 x 600 and 1024 x 768
  Yet, I have the latest version of the ati driver and directx 11...

  Windows Dectet my monitor properly (plug-and-play), and my screen resolution works well for: 1366 x 768 and 800 x 600.
  on the other hand, when I start a game I have only the choice between these two resolution: 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768...

  All the games don t fit the full screen and there is always a black area on the right and left.

  Some games (crash)... and I thought it made a link with said that I have only 2 resolution.

  I have a toshiba L505 - h - 13 (PSLS9E)
  my graphics card: ati mobility radeon hd 5145 graphics card
  OS: win 7 32 bit

  I hope someone can help me find a solution
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I put t know what games you want to play, but generally speaking, it of also depending on the game you can use screen resolutions. For example if your game supports only 2 screen resolutions, you can only use these resolutions.

  So all you can do is update the driver DirectX and display. Then, look for an update (patch) for the game.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite L500 and problems with the Wi - Fi

  Hello people

  I'll just throw my problem there.
  First of all my details and information that can help me to help you!

  Satellite L500 running windows 7 (note: same problems when installing Vista)
  Latest drivers wireless as well as the latest drivers for everything.
  My wireless router is 1 billion active voip 7000 series sound quite good for when I got it about 2 years ago and works well.

  Basically, the problem is that the wireless on my Satellite L500 keeps dropping out. I m not more than 20 meters at most, right now I m 10 m with 1 wall in the way. I tried to make a website, and he says has fallen to either unable to find host connection.

  However other computers laptops in the same room, same place at the same time has no problem at all. Has ever.
  As soon as I'm in the same room as my router, it works again. Sometimes works if I stand right on the opposite wall.

  So basically I m thinking my card wireless in my laptop is defective or simply not good?
  Can u replace the card with another wireless? Maybe the Toshiba ones are just no good? I read so many problems with these cards Toshibas wireless...

  Anyone have any ideas? I ran out of the info you need? I repost he's again in a day or two with the types of wireless devices in every laptop.

  Hello

  For the moment, I doubt that your wireless network card is broken. Before Exchange you it you must also update your BIOS and not only the WLAN card driver. Two updates you need to download it from the Toshiba site:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop and WIFI connection. The problem was in the WLAN energy saving mode Windows power management. Here, you can also choose a mode for energy saving wireless network card. Turn it off, and then choose a maximum Performance.

• Satellite C660 - all models with the same assumption?

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could help me, I want to get the Satellite C660 from my local supermarket:
  [http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.210-2821.aspx]

  But I was wondering if Toshiba supports this laptop even as if I bought it in an electronics store.

  Thank you

  Hello

  The support is always the same, even, you buy the laptop of supermarket or electronic store or ASP.

  The warranty period is always the same and depends on your country. Sometimes it is possible to get a free warranty extension if you save the workbook on the official page of Toshiba.

  If you have a hardware problem, an authorized service provider can solve the problem for you. It of free when your laptop is under warranty.
