  > I already looked in this forum and other sites, but none of the solutions have solved my problem.
  Does that mean exactly? What have you already tried exactly?
  You should post this very important information what you exactly did.

  Furthermore, I can't find any more information about your operating system. You are using Vista 32-bit, but is this preinstalled Toshiba or have you installed yourself?

  Good bye

• Satellite L500 - 20 X - screen problems

  Hello

  first of all, I would like to apologize for the case that I couldn't be very good to use this forum. I'm new and have never used any before support forum. And English is not my mother tongue.

  I use a Toshiba Satellite L500 - 20 X. For some time, the performance of the screen got worse. All started with interference bands who were there for a second or two and then vanished again. Now, I have to put the screen at an angle to get a decent picture, at all. If I didn't, there is interference stripes all the time.

  What I have gathered, it seems that the display cable is most likely the cause. So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

  Thanks so far!

  So I have two questions: do you not think? And, if so, how do I know which cable I need to replace the (possibly) broken?

  As I know there is only one flat cable which is connected to the screen, as well as the motherboard.
  But I can't say for sure that the cable is the troublemaker... it could be the cable problem, but that's just an assumption...
  In any case, I think that the laptop must be disassembled in order to know if it's really a problem of cable and a disassembly of the laptop can be very difficult if you have no instructions detailed step by step.

• Satellite L500 - keyboard arrows using problems creates letters and numbers

  New laptop, Windows 7, 4 GB RAM, etc.

  Just restored to the State of factory again, but nothing helped.

  Whenever I have use arrows etc., makes the letters and numbers coming up, not on every key shot but on say every second. The pad also tends to spit out the wrong numbers so intermittently, in word, excellent and other programs. The correct keyboard is selected. The arrow towards the low tends to do the to come as the right arrow brought a up arrow to the left is and the up arrow seems ok.

  I'm stumped, any ideas?
  Thank you

  Hi whatnani,

  If you have already restored the laptop back to factory settings and checked the correct keyboard layout the case is clear, your keyboard is faulty and should be replaced by a new one.

  Satellite L500 is a fairly new model, so it must be covered by the warranty. Simply contact an authorized service provider and ask that:

• Satellite L500 - 1 7 battery problem

  Hi all

  I recently bought a new laptop, the Satellite L500 - 1 7. It works well except that I have a question: I am aware of the fact, that the battery lasts about 2-2, 5 hours. But is it normal to make the computer stop when the sign of the battery watch 22% (happens after about 2.25 hours)? Then, as soon as I put in the power cable, the battery sign indicates suddenly 5%.
  Is - this usual or something wrong?

  Thanks in advance.

  At first, I must say that 2.5 hours working time on battery power is really great and it is the same with my Satellite A300.

  To be honest, the whole story is a bit strange to me. Usually before the laptop shuts you should hear and see battery alarm when the critical power level is reached.
  Please try to change these settings in the advanced power settings and watch what is happening exactly. Set it to 10 or 15% and also the settings what should happen when the critical threshold is reached (Standby/Hibernate / OFF switching).

  If the critical level is 5%, I can't imagine the laptop turns off 22% without this battery alarm message.
  How do you know that's going to happen on 22% when the laptop turns off suddenly?

• Re: Satellite A660-1EK - FN keys problem

  Hello
  I don't know how I did that... but yesterday my mobile function buttons worked, but now I press fn + f6 or fn + f6, it must change in light of the screen, but there is nothing.
  There is not a problem with the fn key because when I press keys fn + 3 or by changing its fn + 4.

  How can I solve my problem?

  Since when is FN + F4 or FN + 3 for the sound?
  As far as I know it's for the standby and hibernation.

  Try also first roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Make back two or three days.

• Satellite L750D - brightness FN key problem

  Hello

  Had a bit of a problem, trying to figure out why my screen was black, worked through HDMI and a second monitor ran without drama, but as soon as the diagnosis established, is to adjust the brightness of FN keys.

  When I put my brightness key FN adjust less than 6 years (5 or less) it will clear, black (black not total as long as the information is still there but almost impossible to see).

  I launch colormunki on that on the screen which is currently updated the color profile.

  Does anyone know if color monitors of profiling leads to problems of drama with the brightness of the screen FN?

  Or maybe it is something different all together.

  Hello

  It seems that the portable computer s display supports the LED backlight.
  Usually the FL inverter controls the backlight of the display.
  As far as I know than the Panel FL inverter and LCD are connected to the motherboard. The fluorescent lamp is connected to the FL inverter Board.

  In your case, it might be possible that the screen, fluorescent lamp or the FL inverter might not work.

  Don t think that the graphics card is affected from the external screen is OK.
  So in your case, I would recommend asking a single Toshiba ASP to check parts

  By the way: have you tried to update the BIOS or the display driver? I think it is worth a try before contact with service agents.

• Satellite L500-1XC - FN key does not

  Earlier, when I pushed my FN key options were available on the screen as wifi, screen brightness, etc., but now, when I press FN, these numbers do not appear. I can't activate my wifi.

  Plaese help. Thank you!

  Hey Buddy,

  Usually, the FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. I put t know what OS you have, but for Windows 7 and Vista, you need these tools that you can download here:

  First remove both of these tools and then restart your computer. Now install VAP and finally Flash Cards Support utility.

• Satellite L500 - heating power cord

  Hi all

  I have a Satellite L500 with a heating problem. When in the course of use, the power adapter gets extremely hot, if the battery is in or out. So much so, that melted the case around the adapter. My first thought is that it's the cord itself which is defective and will buy a replacement for it. If not, should what other things I look for?

  Thank you

  -Cord becomes very hot * with * or * without * battery
  -fans and vents were cleaned
  -the heat is in an area around the power adapter

  > the heat is in an area around the power adapter
  It of difficult to say what's wrong or if something is wrong.
  I have two laptops Toshiba and the area around the plug of AC adapter is not warm or hot.

  But in the worst case, it could be a problem with the power supply or the broken cable
  Maybe you should try a genuine Toshiba AC adapter and another, good work.

• Satellite L500: webcam shows a group's default image - do not live photo

  I have Toshiba Satellite L500 and im having problems with my Webcam. It could be very simple to fix, but for the life of me can not understand!

  I click on photograph, and when it goes in the capture screen it will not display a live peak.
  Instead, it shows just a default image of a group of people looking at the ocean.

  If you click on capture or just record, he captures or records this image instead of what came the web should see. If you remove all the image in the preview screen it still shows this one photo!

  The laptop is less then a year old and I rarely use the webcam. This problem has only just begun.

  The webcam has already displayed a live picture.

  Help, please!
