Satellite L350 - cannot connect, WLAN device is disabled

I just bought a Satellite L350 of second hand, and the wifi does not work properly.

I'm annoyed because I specifically asked the seller if it was OK before I bought it, so I need to know if a hardware or software problem. It is under Vista Home Premium. The symptoms are if I try to connect to my wireless router [which my other laptop can see and connect to OK] it comes up with a window telling me that "the wireless network device is disabled. Please turn the unit "-of course everything is turned on and active as it should.

Someone tell me if it is a hardware or software problem?

Hey Buddy,

I m not owner of this laptop, but I think the error message says it all... The WIFI card is disabled, and you must activate it so that you can use the WLAN connection.

As far as I know on the front of the laptop there is a switch of material for a WLAN connection. Must be on IT.
In addition using FN + F8 key combination you can also turn off/turn on the wireless network card.

Check this box!

  • Fusion 6.0.2 - cannot connect virtual device sound

    Hello

    I recently updated my system to a new Mac Pro (MacPro6, 1 - coffee can style).

    I have a pair of speakers connected to the line out on the Mac Pro, and his works very well under OS X.

    I use VMware Fusion 6.0.2.

    However, I feel a particular sound problem in all my virtual machines of Windows.

    When I turn it on, I get a notice indicating:

    Cannot connect virtual device sound because no corresponding device is available on the host.

    You want to try to connect this virtual device whenever you turn on the virtual machine?


    No Yes



    If I click No., I wonder what is new in an infinite loop.

    If I click Yes, Windows starts and the sound works, except that it comes out of the internal speaker on the Mac Pro, rather than the speakers on the line output.

    I have several virtual machines of Windows (XP, Vista and 7), and this problem affects all the.

    VMWare tools is updated in all virtual machines.

    All of these machines were copied from my old Mac Pro, for testing, I decided to create a new virtual machine from scratch.

    I used Vista because I had this .iso at hand.

    At the end of the installation, after installation of the VMware tools and all the virutal machine had no noise.

    Windows has indicated that his material is installed and the windows volume meter shows visually playback of sounds (this small sound level meter), but there is no sound will appear.

    After cutting this new machine virtual and going in the settings, I noticed that he had missed at what soundcard put out of SERVICE.

    I turned on and when I turned it on I got the same message and the same problem as all other virtual machines.

    I also tried to edit the .vmx to show sound.virtualdev = 'es1371'but this disabled sound totally.


    I'm at the stage of ideas.


    For any help or suggestion would be appreciated!

    Most Macs have built in the input device, so they list a 'internal' microphone as the default selected the input device. The end of 2013 Mac Pro is not a built-in microphone, so by default, it will show "no input device found. VM Fusion 6.0.2 does not seem to take into account the case where there is no device found entry. I consider this a bug, but you can work around it by adding any input device. For example, the "headphone" in the back the Mac Pro is actually a pair of entry. If you connect a headset, as what is delivered with an iPhone, then it will be displayed as an input device and the merger will stop at throwing the error.

    I hope that VMware solves this problem in an update.

  • Satellite A300-02: connection WLan keeps falling & wireless network card is disabled

    Hello..

    You just bought a new A300-02W (canada), everything works fine wxcept... wireless.
    The passing continues WiFi connection and card wifi has been disabled, I restart the computer then go through the steps of repair under Win Vista to be able to connect again.
    I went to the store and got one same one, another model and I'm having the same problem, the drivers are up-to-date, tried to Win XP and it is the same question.
    Called Toshiba tech support and they advised me to wait for the new wireless driver because the laptop I had is still new.

    Wireless card: Intel wireless wifi link 5100agn
    any idea?

    Hello

    Your laptop is a Canadian series and that's why I put t know why this WLan issue appears on your laptop, but I recommend you use and installation and driver WLan Intel page.

    In addition, you can check the portal of Toshiba Europe WLan WLan driver:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    In addition you must disable the option in the properties of card WLan (Device Manager-> properties-> Advanced tab CAD WLan) for energy savings
    Also check the power management tab and turn off also the option called allow the computer to turn off the device to save energy

    Finally, and especially if a newer BIOS has been released for this series then update!

    Good bye

  • Satellite M115: Limited connectivity WLan

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M115 for the school and for the last two weeks, it works wonderfully, but earlier this week all of a sudden it connects not to the network wireless of the school (which is free).

    All that he was to tell me who can sense the network but cannot connect solid, limited or no connectivity is the message I get.

    When I go in to repair the network connection, that he could not because it could not connect to the network.

    Is there something that I am missing?
    Or a step I have to take in order to solve this problem, please help if you can

    Hello

    The WiFi network is secure?
    The limited WLan connectivity can occurs generally if the WiFi network is secure and incorrect encryption or key has been used.

    Sometimes it can happen that the WLan signal is not strong enough and therefore you can not connect properly.
    If you use the battery and then access the properties of card WLan (Device Manager) and disable the saving of the wireless network card!

  • Satellite L350 - WIFI connection problems when it is plugged in to recharge.

    I have a problem with my laptop - whenever I have it plug in to recharge after 10 minutes my Wifi connection goes down, it can detect my wifi network but cannot connect. However when my laptop not charging it remains connected until the battery goes down. I can not think of all the solutions and can't find answers on the internet. I am sure that this isn't my wifi network that is the problem as I have said, it connects and remains connected to each time when no charging current.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS? The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite L350 - cannot install Vista and how can I backup my data?

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite L350 and recently I installed Vista Home Premium in another language (the OEM Vista was in English) in the hope I could activate it with the OEM key, but I did not.

    When I tried to re - install the Vista OEM of WinRE I realized I can't access it, and then I got a "brilliant" idea that will format the C partition with Acronis Disk Director he could boot to WinRE. There can be no.

    Fortunately, I have burned before recovery disks. The only problem is that the whole HARD disc recovery disc formats and I have data on the second partition that I would like to recover.

    I tried to install Vista retail again to save the data of the second partition (Yes, I'm a fool, I did not before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with an underscore will blink.

    I really need that data, please help!

    Hello!

    I can tell you why you can t install a version of Vista with product key. It's pretty easy because the button on the lower side on the laptop belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and t can be used by a commercial version.

    However, I think the best way to back up your data would be that you put the HARD drive in an external HARD drive enclosure, and then you can back up your data on another PC or laptop.
    These cases of disc HARD external are cheap but very useful.

    Good bye

    When I search using the Bluetooth window it shows in the search window and after a while ' * could not detect the remote device * ' *... Kindly help... awaitng your valuable response.

    Can you please post exactly details how you installed the software and drivers Bluetooth?
    I think that you have made some mistakes there

    Your laptop supports the Atheros WLan card. Right?
    I think that this Atheros WLan card compatible with BT as well. This means that you need to install a special driver that allows to share WLan and BT in a single module.

    This driver calls filter for Atheros Bluetooth driver package.
    Therefore, install the driver Atheros Wlan, Atheros Bluetooth driver filter and battery Toshiba BT package.

    Then BT must be installed correctly and you should be able to activate it in order to start the pairing process.

  • Satellite A30: Cannot activate WLan miniPCI card

    Have installed Intel Pro 220bg in my Satellite A30. I can't do the wireless to turn on. The switch on the side of the computer does nothing also tried fn + F8. Still nothing happens.

    Hello

    First of all it is very important to know how you installed the WLan card and if it has been installed correctly.
    I remember to connect two cables; white cable by hand and Brown to the auxiliary voltage check then Device Manager if the card has been correctly recognized. You can use the driver from the Intel Web site.

    Then everything should work properly.

    I have problems connecting to the internet suddenly, so by the wireless and cable and on any network. The icon shows connectivity limited/no, and when I try to diagnose problems, it is said that he cannot renew my IP address. When I start the laptop, I get a reading of error Summit * XFERRECVG_RecvMain(): socket (10106 661 error) *-although I noticed the number change of error sometimes! I tried to update the wlan and lan confree drivers, but it didn't seem to help. When I check the hardware device manager, it displays a yellow exclamation by the SM Bus controller, but one) I can't find the drivers for that and b) I'm not sure it's related!

    Does anyone have any suggestions? I would be very grateful...

    Kheldara

    Luke is right about the SM bus driver. Try reinstalling the chipset driver.
    But to be honest, the whole is somewhat strange. You have installed the updates last days or any other thing which may be the reason of this connectivity problem?
