• Satellite C855-12F - BT has dissappeared and search icon does not work

  Hi all

  I really need help with Satellite C885-12f my father, I tried to update the bluetooth drivers and software for him on the Toshiba site, but now the B icon has Dissappeared and I can't send files or add new devices.

  I tried to uninstall the drivers again, I installed and reinstall the software bluetooth monitor of c:/program files/Toshiba/but nothing helps.

  The laptop has now no bluetooth functionality where, as he was working before

  I tried to find some info on your machine, but I can't.
  You call C855-12F the right model? You can also publish full model number?

  In any case, BT can be used if the BT module is correctly installed (BT stack) and also BT/WLAN correctly activated.
  I don't know what OS you are using and can not offer concrete help, but all I can say right now is that you need battery BT installed on your machine. Visit the download page to Toshiba for your country and download BT for pre-installed OS stack.

  Check in the user s manuals document how BT module can be activated and I hope that you will be able to use the BT connectivity.

• Satellite C870-12F - problems after BSOD

  Hello

  Well 15 minutes ago, I worked very well with my laptop computer and all of a sudden, I get the bsod... ?

  Then it restarts and after waiting 5 minutes for the windows screen to disappear to a welcome screen, it does not appear... So I tried the recovery.

  NA not work it gave me an error... While writing on this subject all of a sudden he started through the office...

  How is that even possible...

  There are two possible reasons why BSODS happen.

  (1) serious software problem
  (2) hardware problem / fault

  In the case of point 1) system recovery / laptop should solve this problem. But it doesn't have t
  So, I think that, in your case, the material started to malfunction.

  You want to know what part might not work.
  Well, I think that these details can be provided only by an engineer who has already checked the aircraft and ran some diagnostic software.

  In my opinion its HARD drive problem isn't. If something's HARD drive, unit turns on properly but would not boot the system.
  Possible hardware parts that could be affected are: module of RAM or the motherboard.

  RAM problems can be solved easily in replacement of the module, but for motherboard problems, the fix for laptop can be very expensive in case the warranty isn't valid.

• Satellite C870-12F - shaded BIOS settings

  Recently, I noticed that I can not change the settings in the BIOS more, almost all of the settings are grayed out. I don't know when it happened, perhaps after update BIOS version 1.6 but it could also happened after the upgrade to Windows 8. I'm not sure. I know that it was ok before.

  What I've noticed, is that in the post-test (where you can use F2) on the lower right side of the screen there is a sort of button / stop Logo I ever noticed before.

  Efforts to push some buttons falied to change settings in the BIOS.
  Hope someone can help out.
  Thank you...

  > What I've noticed, is that in the post-test (where you can use F2) on the lower right side of the screen there is a sort of button / stop Logo I ever noticed before.

  Have you enabled Fast Boot in the BIOS?
  Try disabling this also in BIOS trying to define the default settings.
  I remember in the BIOS you will need to press F9 to get default and save it by pressing F10

• How to remove the upper part of a key on a Satellite C870-C196?

  Hello

  I would like to know if it is possible to remove the upper part of a key on a TOSHIBA Satellite C870 C196 to clean underneath?

  I have a button that does not work properly.

  How to go without anything break?

  Is there a specific tutorial for this projection keyboard how?

  Thanks to you all.

  Kind regards

  Tutorial so that it does not exist, but I can say, is that you can remove the plastic cap. It may be problematic to implement.
  On older machines, it was quite easy, but on the new laptops equipped with flat keys, it is not so easy. As far as I know that each CAP is fixed with 4 pretty small hat holders must be fixed properly. to put all the 4 instead is not so easy.

  I don't know what to say. You can try it, but on the other hand, I don't want to encourage that because you can damage something and in the end, you need to replace the entire keyboard.

  If there is a serious problem, you can request the service of Toshiba for advice and ask for help.

• Keyboard and touchpad do not work on Satellite C870-13F

  I have a computer satellite C870-13th since August.

  Yesterday for no apparent reason, my touchpad has stopped working. (no, I didn't turn off)
  Not really bothered by it, I continued working on my computer for several hours.
  Find it me so that he might be a little bug, so I decided to restart my computer.

  When we turn back, not only my touchpad does not work, now nothing on my keyboard responded, not a single touch. I've updated the drivers, bios, done a virus scan, restored my computer for a few days before, nothing is.

  The strange thing is that the keyboard is always when I press F1 or F8, 0, enter, and arrow keys to get into the menus before windows starts.

  Help them, I used the toshiba recovery to restore the computer to factory settings.
  Despite all this, keyboard and touchpad are still pending.
  I don't really understand, because it works at startup may not be real materialistic damage!

  Now, I'm getting frustrated cause I have more solutions and tapping the screen with the keyboard is really slow! = p

  Any help?

  Hello

  I think that it s a bad material work because you have already tried the system recovery and the keyboard does not work even if you use the factory settings.

  But it would be interesting to know if the USB external keyboard would serve. You can test this? In my opinion if the external keyboard would work properly, then it would mean that your keyboard is faulty and must be replaced.
  I m wondering if the fault of the touchpad is related to failure of internal keyboard.

  However, I think that the guarantee must still be valid if you bought this unit in August. Then get in touch with service and guys should fix it for free!

• Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 and support for virtualization

  Hello

  I am (was to) buy a Toshiba Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 (from amazon.co.uk).
  The specifications look ideal for me, but at the last moment, I thought to check if VT - x extensions are supported.

  I know that the processor supports extensions (as detailed here: [http://ark.intel.com/products/71465/]), but I know also that the extensions are often not enabled (or there is no option in the BIOS to enable them).

  The expression "Virtualization Technology" (which is present on other pages of the specification) is clearly absent from the plug laptop here: [http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-c870-1h2/].
  I saw some comments that suggest the Satellite * Pro * series usually provides the support for virtualization, but it always seems to be missing on many current models of Pro's specifications.

  I don't know why the C870 would not support VT - x, when we know that his material, but the specifications indicate that this is the case. On the other hand, I found no references to people complaining about the lack of VT - x support.

  So my question is, the Satellite C870 - 1 H 2 actually does support VT - x, or not?
  (and if not, because it takes just a very small piece of code BIOS, why not?)

  Thank you

  > The same issue applies. These models are supported virtualization

  VT support is always depends on the CPU built in Notepad. But you mentioned it in the first post.
  According to the page of the Ark from Intel, the Intel Pentium 2020 M processor supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT - x)

• Pad touch and function Fn + F5 does not work on the Satellite a series

  Hello

  I just install a windows Vista & I have install the driver after download it from the net, but I found this;

  1 - switch between the screen & s-video (fn + f5) does not work but the other work of function (fn)

  2 when I put my finger in the right of the mouse pad you have to scroll the screen & at the bottom of the touchpad, it should scroll left & right on-screen, but it did not work

  So please tell me the solution if it is a problem of driver or program.
  Please give me the direct link

  thinku

  Hello

  What cell phone do you have?

  I imagine that your laptop comes with XP and now want to use it with Vista OS.
  Please note that you should install the Package Toshiba Vista value added to use all the features of the laptop.
  Very important is the pilot of common components and the TOSHIBA Flash Cards.
  The Flashcards provides the Hotkey function and function of pitcher who starts the Hotkey function.
  Please reinstall!

  The additional touchpad functionality must be configured first.
  This can be done in the control panel-> mouse

  Here, you should look for the touchpad settings and able to configure touchpad again scroll areas.

  Good bye

• Re: Satellite C870 - Questions about Toshiba software pre-installed

  Hello..

  Instant Messaging user a new SATELLITE C870-1JV
  Or seen a review on an American site saying that all software pre-installed Toshiba slowing down the operating system.
  The site has recommended that a windows clean install to remove all...

  Everyone does this, or would you recommend?

  Anyone like the software installed and recommend keep it?

  Thank you!!

  > Someone has he done this, or would you recommend?
  You always want to use the advanced features like function keys laptop?
  If so, don t remove the feature key Toshiba software that controls the keys.

  You always want to be informed of updates to the driver through Toshiba Tempro or Toshiba Service Station?
  Then don t delete these software

  But as far as I know there are also other additional software installed on the laptop.
  For example: TOSHIBA, TOSHIBA Eco Utility, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor, etc.
  All of these tools provide additional functionality, it s your decision whether or not you want to use.

  Any idea?

  Hello

  Your problem is a little weird!

  Your wireless network card is a BT / WLAN combo and should be supported by the kernel used in openSuse 12.3.
  Check the functionality in Windows or any other end Linux distribution?

  I would say to download Fedora 19 and run as a direct medium OS to check the operation of BT.
  If it works fine, I belive there is a bug in the distro openSuse.
  If this isn't the case, I really think you should consider checking your hardware.

  I have the same card in my works C850 and BT just perfect in Fedora 19.

  Hope this helps you out

• Re: Weird sound coming from USB using the Panel mixing Audio on Satellite C870-1EX

  Hello!

  So, my sister has Satellite C870-1EX and she uses new Audio Mixer with integrated sound card sends its via USB cable to the computer (computer recognises as external audio device and map). It's the device: http://alesis.com/multimix8usbfx.

  A few weeks ago, she began to notice a very odd sound, sort of high-pitched, whistling, like a very fast electronic beep. Something similar to what good old modems of the internet when they were connected to the phone line, just not a little faster and strong.

  First of all, of course, we tested every single setting on the Audio Mixer Panel.
  Then, we got new USB cable and it traded.

  After that we also took down all the material, checked all cables, if necessary, detangle swapped the power supply, check a different recording software, even tried a few other recording devices USB etc etc.

  None of this has helped. The drivers are all there too.

  Here's the catch. I used the same equipment with the same settings on my computer and no hissing noise at all. The thing is, any parameter, we tried, only the hiss remains the same, nothing changes.

  Even if you apply a few sound effects which should either accentuate or reduce any type of noise in the signal that is sent to the USB port on the computer, this whistling noise remains the same.

  What worries me is that something is wrong with the material of my sister's laptop.

  The noise does not appear if we use, for example, microphone that uses 3, 5mm taken or the built-in microphone of the laptop during the recording of the commands in the same session with the same software and similar settings (given some must be different because of the different entry).

  However, the noise is if we use an external USB recording equipment on any of its ports.

  Windows on his laptop were resettled some time ago (now it is on Windows 7), but the problem appeared a few weeks later.
  As I said earlier, the drivers are all there and to date as well.

  So, I hope that one of you will return with a software sollution (single)... and I hope we will not need to take his computer back to the shop.

  However, as it seems now, the last is more likely to occur.
  Please, tell me I'm wrong :)

  Thank you!

  Hello

  One of my friends had a similar problem with a DJ controller: Traktor Kontrol S4
  There was not a sound, but he noticed a few dropouts stuttering and audio.

  The problem was the background processes that were open when you use the controller.
  To resolve this problem, it was necessary to disable all possible devices in the device as WLan, LAN, Bluetooth Manager, etc.
  In addition, he had to Disable Antivirus software and firewall that was running in the background.

  I put t know if it helps you, but I think that its worth a try

  Another idea: try to reduce the performance of the processor. This is possible in the Windows 7 power management.
  How to manage Windows 7 power management features
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD12017W0001R01.htm

  Option CPU power management contains the option called the Maximum processor state
  Here you can set it to 90% - 80%

• Problem with my Satellite C870

  I have a problem with my toshiba satellite C870. The noise stopped working. the sound icon is cut and I got a message: no speakers or headset is connected. I tried corrections but I thought that my driver is up to date. For accuracy I am under W7. Sorry if my English is bad (I speak french, but you can answer me in English)

  Thks

  Hello

  Reach:
  Panel of-> sound-> the Read tab

  You see your speakers or headphones here?
  If so, make sure that the speakers are marked as the default device.

  In addition the combination FN + F11 would turn on and off MUTE.
  Check it!

  When two solutions of workaround don t help, uninstall the device high definition audio / controller as well as the audio driver from the Device Manager and restart the computer laptop n.
  After restarting again the system should install the uninstalled drivers even more often, this will help you to get the sound.

• Re: Editing on Satellite P500-12F .mts files

  Hi, I have a question about the change. MTS files:

  My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P500-12F / Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz / RAM: 4 GB HD: 500 GB / BD - RE DL / 18.4 "/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit /"

  And I use Corel video studio pro X 3 to edit my SD videos and I was very happy with it until I tried to use the software to edit HD videos very short 2-4 minutes long that I got from a friend to test it before buying my HD camcorder.

  These videos are played on the laptop without problem using WMP or video studio pro x 3 in the preview window, the problem starts when I add another track of overlay to make modifications or any title or effects on the overlay track as I used to do with SD videos.

  If I do any sort of editing and try to see the changes in the preview window, the image moves very slowly, vibrates and the sound is broken, it seems that I'm editing a 24 hours of work not 2-4 minutes. clips.

  So I do not understand where is the lie of the problem, what is the spec of the laptop? What codecs do I need to install? Or the settings that I need to do?

  bye the way, if I decide to save the changes I made for the video it is so annoying to check during the preview/editing process, the final file plays great without problems and in HD quality.

  I wonder if someone can help me.

  Thank you

  Hello, Armelle

  Please don't get me wrong, but I do not understand the relationship between issue described and Toshiba laptop.
  Don't you think that it is the related issue of Toshiba or you should speak with the support of software manufacturer?

  This application can be installed on your laptop as part of the recovery image, but I don't think that Toshiba is responsible if you have a problem with a software feature.
