• Re: Satellite L100-179. impossible to activate the new WLan card inserted

  Hi all

  I bought a computer laptop satellite L100-179 wireless about 2.5 years ago.
  Last week I bought an Inter (R) PRO/Wireless 2915ABG Network Connection, this is an internal card!

  I installed the card and the latest drivers and the card worked properly under Device Manager
  When I tried to use the card after setting the wireless settings, I started to have problems.

  I then installed the software for the card help with the problem which has been the software Intel(r) PROSet/Wireless WiFi 12.1.2.0 that gave me a little more information about the problem. All the settings for the wifi are enabled except when I press Fn + F8 I get the following message:

  Wireless communication is disabled. Please turn on the wireless switch.

  But there is no switch on the side of the laptop just a plug of cache.
  I've ran out of ideas to get this working and would be really grateful for the help.
  My OS is XP home SP3.

  Hello

  I think that your Sat L100-179 is not extensible WLan.
  If this laptop has been delivered without the WLan card and the WLan switch does not exist, then you cannot use an internal WLan card!

  In this case, go to an external solution such as a USB WiFi key for example

• Satellite L100-179: "without W/L' mean?

  Hello

  bought a Satellite L100-179 in 2006 and is not really used.

  When we bought it we thought it had WiFi built in.
  On the bottom of it on a sticker, it says the following

  LAN MAC: 0016xxxxxxxxxx then a bar code and under this, Lan Wireless: free W/L

  Can someone explain this for me and what it means.

  I have the impression that it was built in WiFi.
  So I need a wireless card.

  Someone at - it suggestions. I know the Belkin we have for another laptop is useless.

  The Belkin will resume only in half the intensity of the signal than my Dell with built in WiFi.

  Thanks for any help

  Hi mate

  That means Lan Wireless: W/L means?

  It of very simple, this means without WLan, which means that the WLan card is not installed on this notebook.

  The LAN MAC: xxxxxx is the MAC address of the network card. It s an identification code.

• To install Windows 7 on Satellite L100-179

  Hello

  New to this site, I have a Satellite L100-179 running on XP Professional, originally from my laptop with XP Home and I have product for this recovery.

  I want to install Windows 7 and also to clean my laptop.
  So I have to first product recovery I guess xp family is on this point, to remove all waste from portable and then install windows 7?
  Windows 7 will work ok, or I lose my money?
  Laptop a 40 GB hard drive, 1.7 GHz, 1 MB of memory, Intel (R) Celeron (R) m

  Thanks for any help

  > take off so just to confirm that I had firstley of Windows XP Professional and install original Windows XP Home Edition could came with the laptop?

  Why you want to reinstall Win XP if you want to install Win 7?
  The configuration of installation of Win 7 will format the HARD drive or the partition too much and it will remove also all the waste
  Just start with a clean installation of Windows 7 that of pretty good.

  > However someone said I could put 2 x 2 GB memory is that correct that I thought I could go only up to 2 GB in TOTAL.
  That s dependent on the chipset and BIOS if the two parties would be supports 4 GB of RAM then you could use 2 x 2 GB of RAM, but in general, you should find an info in your user manual on the RAM upgrade and what value RAM is possible

  But in my opinion, only 2 GB of RAM is possible

• Satellite L100-179 sometimes short, sometimes does not

  Hello.

  My Satellite L100-179 is around the age of 9 months. A month after buying it is quite dead. Returned, and they replaced the card mother and keyboard. 4 months ago it does the same thing, but I left it for a day and she starts without a problem.

  Same thing happened this morning. Totally dead, so I disconnected and removed the battery. He tried again, but nothing helps. Then I put the battery and the socket and left for 20 minutes. It has sprung to life again.

  What happens here? Someone had the same problem? What is the cause for this? Maybe a faulty motherboard? The warranty runs out in 3 months so I would like to know if this is a major flaw.

  See you soon.

  Hello

  > What's happening here? Someone had the same problem? What is the cause for this? Maybe a faulty motherboard?

  Believe me, we can only speculate on the fault.
  But I'm sure that this is certainly not normal behavior and I definitely recommend the service guys asking for additional verification.

  Who knows what will happen in the next time. Maybe the laptop no longer starts? I this would not risk and would take the warranty!

  Best regards

• Satellite L100-108: update your Intel 3945 WLan Intel 4965agn

  Hello

  It is possible to replace the wifi card that brought the Satellite L100-108 (Intel 3945ABG) for the an Intel 4965AGN?
  The two cards are mini pci - e and the chipset of the motherboard (with Everest says only that it is Toshiba), is the Intel i945GM.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Why you want to upgrade the WLan card?
  I mean the Intel 3945ABG provide three different WLan standards.
  OK, the Intel 4965AGN provides the standard 802.11 N standard, but this standard cannot be used because the wireless network card should 3 antenna wlan
  AFAIK the L100-108 was equipped with antenna Wlan of two sons that is designed for A B and G WLan standard.

• Satellite L100-179: 2-3 weeks after recovering sound interruptions and performance drop down

  I bought a new L100-179 for my daughter for school. It worked fine out of the box, but after 2 weeks, he was so full of adware (from kazaa) that spybot/adaware teacher could not clean everything off. He could not play sound properly windows sounds or music through Media Player, iTunes or other and happened to be dog slow, taking forever to do anything. So I wiped with reinstall drive and everything was good again.

  The only things we loaded were the driver for the card netgear wireless, spybot + teacher adaware and MS Word.
  I also configured Norton Internet Security which is preinstalled.

  Everything was good for another few weeks, but then the same problem is back, same symptoms - heavly sound interruption, including the sounds of windows startup/exit and the laptop had an age to do anything - it seems to take 90% cpu for a long time to perform ordinary tasks such as opening a session same Explorer.

  I ran the anti virus, spybot, adaware pograms, I defragmented the hard drive, I have experienced wth the performance in the Control Panel/System/advanced parameters such as the virtual memory settings, but nothing brought no improvement.

  I sat and looked at the processes that are using most of the cpu and it was no matter what app I chose to run or Norton IS components. Everything seems normal, but takes forever to do the simplest things, and he could not play the sounds/music cleanly again.

  I had no choice but to wipe again using the recovery as well as before minimum programs cd.
  Hey hop - all works fine again, sound is normal and things take a reasonable time to do so - this excludes a hardware problem?
  This time we uninstalled Norton Internet Security in the case who was to blame. (application of cpu very hungry)

  This lasted 3 weeks before is exactly the same thing - she did bother load the mp3 files on this time, does not load any application or update all the drivers it just used to run word, playing music through WMP and MSN Messenger friends.
  Anti-adware programs reported all was clean, I've updated the BIOS, then his driver of Toshiba, defragmented the hard drive barely used and looked like a bunch of other parameters, but once again nothing it improves until wipe us the disc and reload from the recovery disk!

  We now only loaded the map without thread, MSWord, iTunes and MSN messenger and it has been fine all over Christmas, but we know it won't last long until he must recover again.

  I've seen others report the same problem on this forum, but not a solution that works for me.

  We have 5 laptops in the House and it's the only list this problem.

  Any ideas guys?

  Hello

  If the CPU is forced to run at high level did you check which process is responsible for this? For the moment, I sometimes have the same problem with iexplore.exe. From time to time CPU is permanent on 100% usage and just if I kill this process manually the laptop works well again.

  In general, I noticed that Symantec Norton products need a lot of resources of the laptop and the first thing I did on my Toshiba is to remove it. I recommend you do the same thing after the next recovery procedure. How to do this you can see under http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB6B01NM000ER01.htm

  I can't imagine that there may be another problem. By the way L-series is laptop budget and you can't expect a perfect performance, but for every day use, the device is pretty good. Try to set it up without any applications that need a lot of resources and slow CPU activity.

  I'm sure you have many experiences for laptop and you will understand what I mean. ;)

• Satellite A60 crashes with BSOD using the WLan connection

  Hello

  The son laptop works well 24/7 If you use the local cable network on web access, but as soon as we install Wifi it crashes on a regular basis (2 or 3 times an hour) with BSOD error messages - normally those helps Microsoft cant (via the event viewer report) with but it is often talking about Toshiba phone services but no solution.

  Tried two (netgear) pcmcia & usb (agere) wifi cards - exactly same problem can not maps.

  In desperation re-formatted & resettled Xp & all drivers Toshiba of original Cd of Tosh, then Xp Sp2 & then all the updates/fixes engineering including the bios from site Web of Tosh. Still crashes.

  If the software has - v installed or not makes no difference.

  A 512 extra ram on top of 256 original.

  Any ideas?

  Please believe me that it is not easy to say why the BSOD appears!
  From my personal experience, that the BSOD can occurs because of the problem of critical software, or because of the problem of equipment.

  In your case, it looks like a hardware problem (this is my personal opinion)
  Generally, the laptop should work with the external WLan USB card. I put t see no reason why it shouldn't work t.

  You said that you have updated the RAM on this laptop, I noticed on many laptops than similar issues after a RAM upgrade.

  For example; I inserted the new 1 GB RAM on my old Satellite and received a BSOD. I used a compatible but the BSOD appeared sometimes.
  After the passage of the modules to another location memory my laptop works properly!

  Please check this box. Maybe you could check if the same thing happens with your old module!

  Good luck

• Is satellite L350-170 - possible to use the laptop as external monitor

  Ok... So I broke the other day to the top of my screen on my laptop, and was amazing, if it is possible to use another laptop as an external monitor.

  while I put my files on an external hard drive

  or isit only possible connection to the pc?

  Hello

  It would be possible to use the second laptop as an external display ONLY if the computer a laptop would support the video port line-in to the receipt of the video signal.

  But the most common books supports the only video out s-Video port or a vga port, and in this case, you will not be able to use the laptop as a second monitor external.

  For example, the Satellite L350-170 supports only the RGB port that allow you to connect this laptop to external monitor but you can not use this laptop as compensation for external monitor.

• Satellite L350D-213 - how to use the WLAN?

  My mother & father has bought a laptop last week and are having problems with the connection to the sky broadband. Sky Broadband is a netgear router, which has wireless capability.

  My question is how does broadband on your laptop? They need to get a wireless dongle to use, my experience with laptops is minimal.

  Any help much appreciated.

  Hey Buddy,

  I think you should read the user manual. There you can find all the necessary information using the laptop.

  To use the WLAN functionality, you must enable this feature using the WLAN hardware switch on the laptop and the FN + F8 key combination. Check it!

  If the WIFI is enabled, check the configuration of TCP/IP. It s according to your router if you use DHCP or a static IP address.
  In addition you must disable management feature in the management of WLAN power supply.

  1 GB DDR2 667 CL5 memory card

  Toshiba L100 179 running on Windows XP

  Any ideas, I want to get windows 7 if need additional memory

  Thank you

  Hello

  The laptop can be upgraded to 2 GB of RAM (2 x 1 GB) of RAM DDR2 (533 MHz)
  To me, it seems that the two modules may not work together.

  Sounds silly, but there s nothing unusual and always happens
  I read in various forums and articles on these behaviors for laptop

  In my opinion, you should replace the two RAM modules and should test other Rams.

  PS: Check in the BIOS if the two modules has been recognized correctly and set the BIOS to default settings...

• Satellite L100-179 - cannot use the full amount of RAM

  Hello

  I have the laptop above and for some time have been under Windows XP with the RAM, he came with, I have now bought 2 sticks of 1 GB, after checking the max RAM allowed, the problem is that when I install Windows reports that 896 MB of RAM installed.

  Latest version of the BIOS is installed and I changed the setting MAXMEM in Windows, but still no go. These two circuits are fully operational (installed on another laptop and the right amount is shown), my question is how do repair this laptop to recognize the full amount of RAM I have installed.

  Concerning

  Hey Buddy,

  It is difficult to say something... What new bought exactly RAM modules?
  I mean, theoretically, that they are not compatible

  How much RAM will appear in the BIOS?
  Perhaps of missing memory capacity is reserved for the graphics card and internal devices.

• Satellite U940: 2.4Mbit / limit using Intel WLan - N 2230

  Hi support and other users,

  I have a toshiba Satellite U940 windows 8, brand new laptop with Intel® Centrino® Wireless - N 2230, wireless but I do not get speed greater than 2.4 Mb

  http://www.Speedtest.net/result/2844225725.PNG

  This result is the same when downloading from newsgroups.
  On Ethernet is that the speed is 10 MB

  I tried the same thing on this forum http://communities.intel.com/thread/32017
  I did have the problem with an older laptop... It is not the router, I get the best speeds with older laptop.

  I tried diverend drivers, installed driver update with Windows update, but nothing does.

  You hhave a solution, I guess the wireless centrino is not good...

  I bought this laptop for high speed with ssd, also need a connection with wifi broadband...

  Help please...

  Masterdam

  Hello

  The Intel Centrino Wireless - N 2230 supports WiFi standards 802.11 b/g/n and it runs at 2.4 GHz only
  Do you have what standard chosen in your router settings?

  Please also see the Wlan standard that is defined for the wireless network adapter. You can do this in
  Control Panel-> Device Manager-> Wlan card properties-> Advanced tab

  To get the full 802.11 N speed, your router and wireless network card should be on the 802.11 N only.
