Satellite L500-1KK - which driver to use?

Hi all!

I noticed that Intel released new drivers for their graphics 4500MHD card, however, is published on the site of Toshiba for my Satellite L500-1KK are older and are never updated as often as those published on the website of Intel, my questions are:

1. is it safe to use the new drivers from Intel for their chipset or should I stick to those published by Toshiba?
2. What are the possible differences between these drivers Intel and Toshiba here?  :|

Thank you all!

Hello

You see, dude, if everything works do not touch the system with an update of the driver. I always run my laptop with the old drivers and satisfied.

> 1. Is it safe to use the new drivers from Intel for their chipset or should I stick to those published by Toshiba?

Yes, you can use the chipset drivers intel and should not be the concern :)

> Possible differences are there between these drivers Intel and Toshiba?

As I know, they are pretesed by Toshiba.

  • Satellite L500-1KK - Bluetooth support A2DP and EDR?

    Hello

    I have a portable satellite L500-1KK 2.5 years. I want to buy a D80 creative wireless Bluetooth speakers. I can't find the page for more specs on the Toshiba site (Gulf). I was wondering if it can connect these speakers. I guess it should support some standard or protocol for this: EDR and A2DP.

    I didn't intend to buy another Bluetooth device, apart from one integrated.

  • Satellite L500-1KK - how to the maximum battery time?

    Hello

    1. it is indicated on the product specifications L500-1kk expected autonomy is about 03:20 Hrs use mobile brand! However, I was using my laptop for almost a year now, the maximum battery time I get is 02:15 Hrs, whenever I load my mobile suit, the battery still bar program shows me this maximum time remaining! I use the default power settings!

    2. most intriguing, is that my sister used another laptop, its battery is approximately the same capacity that mine, around 43200 mWh, us both using Windows 7 Ultimate (she 32bits, I, 64-bit version), but its battery time is at least 4.5 Hrs. Why is this, and how I would maximize my battery time!

    3. Finally, her laptop is new (4 months, yet battery pro program shows that the battery wear rate is 7%, my laptop is almost a year and it shows a wear rate of 1.3%, I use mostly my laptop while the power is plugged in, unplugged rarely!) Is their an explanation to the different rates of wear?

    Thank you

    Hello

    To be honest, I think a battery about 02:15 hours is good and I think that everything is ok with your laptop. My new Satellite A500 I also only 2.5 hours if I running on battery, sometimes less than 2 hours or less. That s always according to the applications you run.

    > 2.

    Well, it s the same you compare two cars with the same ch from different manufactures a car's fuel consumption higher than the other car, even it have the same hp. Why? Well, the different manufacturers using different parts: other tires, gears, weight, dray of air, etc.

    You can compare two identical notebooks or cars from the manufacturing even to find a problem, but * not * from different manufacturers. ;)

  • Satellite L500 - 152 Display driver Sims3 plus

    Hello. I use this thing = [Satellite L500-152 | http://nordic.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/supportMyProduct.do?LNG=18&service=ND#tab3;] .
    And it was fine, until I came out and me Sims3 and Sims3 World Adventures, after installing both (+ in order correct ofc +), when I tried to start them up, I can not for the game Launcher, because an error message blocks my way...
    "* There was an error during startup. "Check the log for details."
    No info for don't nabs like me, about the location journal. And when you press the button available only here, the frozen Launcher naturally also closes its doors with her.

    So I checked google and found that people who have had the same problem, just changed the display driver to one that is supported by the game, I discovered that mine was not, I have * "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series."

    _Sims3 taken in charge the radeon drivers are: _
    Series ATI Radeon 9500, 9600, 9800, X 300, X 600, X 700, X 800, X 850, X 1300, X 1600, X 1800, X 1900, X 1950, 2400, 2600, 2900, 3450, 3650, 3850, 3870, 4850, 4870, Â Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) GMA series 3 Series 4 GMA.

    If someone could help me, by discovering what driver of the foregoing (as appropriate), will work on this laptop and tell me where to download it, I would be very very very happy :)

    Those who changed the driver perhaps no laptop and desktop computers. There is a big difference.
    Support drivers is much better for desktop computers.

    Problem is that the drivers for laptops are slightly adapted and designed for optimal graphic operations.
    I'm afraid that this with updating the graphics driver will be not so easy.
    It is always recommended to use the drivers provided by the manufacturer of the laptop. With the help of some third part and untested graphics card driver may be forced to run on a maximum and there is risk of damage or surprise. So be careful with this stuff.

  • Satellite L500-22R - ATI driver update

    Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-22R with an ATI Mobiliti Radeon HD 5145.

    I want to install new drivers for my card, but Toshiba doesn´t upgrade the driver from 2009 (version 8.653.0.0) and the official driver ATI is 13.1. The problem is that I can install page AMD because there is a problem of compatibility with the hardware.

    Can someone help me? I want to upgrade my version of driver and I can´t understand this situation.

    Hello

    Here is a page AMD providing this info:
    http://support.AMD.com/us/KbArticles/pages/AMDCatalystSoftwareSuiteVersion131.aspx

    + The following books * are not compatible * with this version: +.
    + All laptops launched after this driver release +.
    + Computers laptop Toshiba (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these notebooks) +.
    + Computers laptops Sony VAIO (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these notebooks) +.
    + Portable Panasonic (please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these notebooks) +.

    In some cases its possible to install these drivers, but you will have to manually do it from Device Manager. There, you have to click on the graphics card, choose the Advanced installation procedure which helps you to point to the folder of the driver that you downloaded from the page of AMD. The driver folder must contain the dll and ini files. These files are required for the update of the driver.

  • HP ENVY 17-j005tx Notebook PC: network card wireless Intel N 2230 sporadic but recurrent connection Wi Fi problems. Which driver to use?

    I have an old HP Envy computer of 12 months with a 2230 Intel® Centrino® wireless-N wireless adapter.

    In the last 6 months, the PC has suffered sporadic but recurrent problems of WiFi connection with the failure of the connection or drop-outs. The PC connects to the router, but fails to obtain or maintain an IP address. It has been with Intel driver version 15.12.0.6, pilot day February 25, 2014, installed by Windows Update, on June 16, 2014.

    When I contacted HP support on January 9, 2015, I have been instructed to download the software from the HP Web site. This driver has an HP publication date of 1 November 2013 and installed the driver version 15.10.0.12 with a release date of June 25, 2013.

    Updated Windows ran later that day there and I wanted to install the drivers updated Windows 8.1

    • Important update - update the Intel driver for Intel® Centrino® wireless-N 2230 published on 17/10/2013, 2.4 MB
    • Optional update - update the Intel driver for Intel® Centrino® wireless-N 2230 published 07/10/2014, 101.9 MB

    If Windows Update has been set to automatic the provided HP driver would likely have immediately deleted by Microsoft update.

    The Intel Web site offers the 15.14.0.1 or 15.14.0.2 driver version as the last driver for the adapter N-2230 but Intel "recommends obtain you and use the software provided by the manufacturer of your laptop. (even if it's more than a year to date)

    It's very complicated to have the latest version on the Intel site, older versions installed by Microsoft Update and even older versions on the HP website.

    If the user must install the OEM version, how the user to treat Microsoft Update overwriting the OEM version?

    Which driver should be used?

    Why didn't the driver software HP Support was updated to resolve known issues with this wireless card driver?

    HP would provide only a pilot who has been tested on the device that is installed on a particular type of material.

    Intel would release the driver first, but then it would take some time for HP to the test pilot and release it to the public for use on their units. Some customizations can apply in order to get the driver to work on the material.

  • Should which driver I use for Windows XP on Portege R500 by WLan

    Because I couldn't get the wireless Lan driver, Intel, 11.1.0.100 references driver Toshiba download site (I'm redirected to a link that does not work), I went on the site: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/. Information about the two sites, all two of Toshiba, are contradictory:

    A site lists 11.1.0.100 references as driver for Windows XP, the other site of the 11.1.0.100 references as the driver for Vista 64 and the 11.1.1.16 as driver for Windows XP. Which should I use for Windows XP on Portege R500?

    Sorry my friend but after reading your question, I can just laugh. Use simply listed http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads driver, install it and enjoy your life.

  • Satellite L500-1V1 what keyboard can use?

    Hello

    I have to buy a new keyboard for my Toshiba L500-1V1.
    Is could someone please tell me what keyboards are suitable for Toshiba L500-1V1?

    I have to get it as soon as possible and it seems to be impossible to find an original Toshiba keyboard replacement here in Finland.

    That's why I wonder if a few other brands to the keyboard (e.g. asus, acer, hp, samsung, lenovo) would be suitable for my computer because they are available in stores?

    Thank you in advance!

    Hello

    Satellite L500 supports and is equipped with a standard A4 black + 10key keyboard.
    Usually keyboards released for other series of laptop using the same model (of type A4 + 10key) must be compatible.

    In addition, you can always order a compatible keyboard of authorized partner Toshiba in your country.

  • Satellite L500-1kk and output HDMI for FULL HD LCD TV

    Hi all!

    I want to connect to my laptop L500-1kk to the TV LCD Full HD Sharp Aquos LC-42A77M via HDMI port, my question is that in the display properties that the maximum resolution is 1366 x 768, 1920 x 1080, so I'm afraid that if I buy a ([http://www.nu-global.com/product.aspx?cid=C_00000005&ccid=C_00000019&pid=P _ 00000026]) that I won't be able to read the Full HD content in the native resolution of the TV screen and be limited to 1366 x 768 and up-scaling of TV! so in summary

    1. the ability to have a FULL HD resolution after purchase and connection and a HDMI to my TV cable is not available or not? ?:|
    2. the integrated Intel graphics 4500MHD will perform well? or I'll experince problems?

    Thank you

    1.
    What you see now is the internal display resolution. When the TV is connected to the HDMI cable it will be recognized and the resolution will be higher, and you will be able to use 1080 p.

    2.
    Laptop is designed to be connected to the LCD TV and the HDMI port is available. Why Toshiba should offer this port if customers will have problems to use it?
    It is tested and you should have no problem.

    Cable HDMI to transfer audio signals and video so you will have the best image quality and sounf on your LCD TV.

    Good bye
