• Satellite L500 CTRL + left click does not work in Windows 7 after update

  Hello
  I have a Satellite L500 running Win 7 64 bit. I have recently installed the latest windows updates and you've probably noticed that I can no longer select multiple items by holding the CTRL key and clicking on the left. This applies to files in Explorer, but also emails in outlook. When I try just hangs for a few seconds, but is unable to select multiple items. Someone else has encountered this or have any suggestions for healing?

  It is nothing lost in trying this Vista solution since there is no registry hacks etc [you cannot use keyboard shortcuts to select multiple items in Windows Explorer after installing some applications on a Windows Vista-based computer: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/934548/en-us]

• Satellite L500: internal display is dead - external monitor is ok

  I haven't used my L500 for about 6 weeks
  I tried to start it yesterday only to find "dead".

  I charged the battery overnight and I tried again this morning to find that my screen does not work.
  I plugged an external display that works, then I tried FN + F5 to switch between screens.

  The pc now only works in safe mode

  Help

  Hello

  It looks like a malfunction of the internal display.

  If the external monitor works properly, then I guess the graphics chip is ok too.

  In my opinion, there must be something wrong with the internal display.

  What do you think?

• Satellite L500-1ZC - cannot start HARD drive recovery menu

  I need to access the option "Get back to the default software factory with the data of the user", but I have problems at this stage.

  I tried power + 0 with no luck, even with the power + f12.
  When the boot menu appears, HDD Recovery is not there as an option to select.

  I need the exact option above but I have no idea how to get it. I have the option to select "Toshiba HDD Recovery" to the Startup Repair, but it will have this option if I go further in it?

  So far I have got up to the screen which warns of an unpacking of the partition system image but don't want to go any further in case this option is not there.

  Can anyone help? :/

  I have the option to select "Toshiba HDD Recovery" to the Startup Repair, but it will have this option if I go further in it?

  Toshiba HDD recovery redefines the laptop to factory settings! This means that your system partition will be deleted and you will get the same State HARD disc as on the first day of purchase.

  Therefore, you must save the date before you run the recovery process.

• Satellite L500-1ZC - cable AV Compatible for TV

  Hello

  I'm not really technical savvy and told me that I was able to connect my laptop to my TV via an audio/video cable. My tv has the Red slots yellow and white, is it cable av out there who would be compatible even if they were not made for toshiba?

  I don't really need a cable that did a lot of things, I am very pleased with the download of an itunes program and then be able to watch it on my tv from my laptop. The thing is I found the cables av on ebay but I don't know if toshiba will take it and I also do not understand the 8 pins or connector thing 9 pins either.

  All the answers anyone has is welcome, even if they are not quite sure thanks x

  Hello

  I checked the specs on the Toshiba site and it seems that your laptop supports VGA and HDMI output interfaces. This means that you must choose one of the two connections.

  I put t know what TV you have exactly, but the all-new LCD and Plasma TV have a HDMI port. If you can connect your laptop via HDMI cable this signal audio transfers too. So you have a single cable for audio and video on your TV.

  Take a look on eBay or some online stores. All stores should have the HDMI cables are cheap.

• The bottom left of the Satellite L500 gets hot

  I have tried to understand it, but can't find any decent help on that.

  I have a 5 years old toshiba Satellite L500 and continues to get very hot on the lower left side. Now, I know that my hard drive is in the bottom right and this side never gets hot. So what I need to know is really what the balls - what is getting hot at the bottom left?

  I can't find patterns that can tell me exactly which part is which on the inside, so I have no idea of what gives me questions when I'm using the internet or play games. I have a fan in my laptop and it is on a surface of grated so air can get to it easily. The problem lies in the lower left hand side.

  As is - this does anyone have an idea why the low 1-1, 5 cm my screen gets too hot? It would be great! Thank you.

  As a writer, it is very worrying that these things as I need my laptop to stay alive for a year or two. (Cannot afford a new and use it for literally everything I do...)

  > So what I need to know is really what the balls - what is getting hot at the bottom left?
  How about the vents?

  The left side for laptop contains cooling grids, and you will find the cooling fans.
  Hot air flow by the left hand side so the surface s mobile is hot

• Pixel dead Satellite L500-017 - HDD is moved to another laptop?

  I recently got a laptop Toshiba Satellite L500-017 (recently as in, like, 4 days ago) and the bloody screen ALREADY has a dead pixel.

  I intend to trade him because he is still under warranty, but my question is this; they will replace the whole laptop, or they will be able to move the hard disk to another computer?
  Considering that I've already implemented so (80 GB of programs and music) on my laptop and the amount of time that I got it before he messed up, I think that it's just that they actually past it to spare me the time.

  I mean, Holy crap I have yet a week and the screen has a dead pixel! What kind of manufacturing is it?
  I would not normally receive so angry, but in such a short period of time, it's already messed up, and that is it pissing me just off the coast. I know that it is a single pixel, but I don't know if it'll be only a pixel, considering how long it took to arrive.

  So my question is this;
  because it is still under warranty, is it possible they can move just the hard drive on one with an another L500-017?

  Hi mate

  I'm not sure if the ASP would replace the screen if only a dead pixel is visible.
  I found this Toshiba FAQ on dead pixels:

  + Information about the technology and pixel for LCD screens display fault tolerance +.
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9502LZ0000R01.htm

  I think that you should simply visit your dealer where you bought this laptop and laptop should ask for replacement.
  Usually the dealer should replace the entire notebook
  But you must back up your data to another HARD drive because I doubt that they empty the HARD drive on another unit.

  See you soon

• Satellite L500 - cannot run the DVD-ROM games

  I am currently having problems with my Toshiba Satellite L500 series. The problem is, I can run purchased audio CD, as well as DVDs of the films, but I can't run games DVDrom. Music CD will automatically start Media Player very well, as well as films in their corresponding players... Games (like Dragon Age Origins and Left 4 Dead) DVD - ROM cannot read, or be recognized. When I go to "Computer" and try to access the game, it says "no available disk. Please insert disc into drive D: ". So from what I understand, the CD/DVD-rom may not be completely broken if he reads all types, except for games to DVDrom.

  Can someone help me with this please! It is quite frustrating because my computer is just now to a year! I wouldn't think that all computer companies sell computers that fall apart after a year... I was hoping that it was different with Toshiba.

  Once more, the CD/DVD-ROM can read CD and DVD of the film, but NOT the games to DVDrom. Help, please! Thanks in advance!

  Hi adecker,.

  Maybe it s caused due the upper and lower filters in the registry. You should try to remove as you can read in this article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
  http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/314060

  I had a similar problem that some discs can't be read more. And I went thorugh based forum to clean the CD/DVD drive lens with a microfibre cloth. Be careful if you do this and don't scratch the lens.

• Satellite L500-164 - has the touchpad scrolling feature?

  Hello
  I am interested in buying the laptop L500-164.

  Can someone tell me if this phone has a touchpad with scroll function?
  And so, only the page down, or "from left to right?

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Yes, the Satellite L500 supports virtual scrolling.

  But that's why you need the driver for the touchpad, this feature is software based on other laptops. It is not a problem because the driver is already preinstalled and more you can download on the page of Toshiba. :)

  Fun with a new Satellite L500. A friend bought me too and it s really great and the price is also good.

• Satellite L500-164: 15.6 "does not appear fullscreen in games

  Hello

  I recently bought the L500-164 and installed Windows 7 64-bit. Everything works perfectly, just a thing which annoys me incredibly.

  Whenever I play a game (Counterstrike, Warcraft3, Warsow, soldier) is a big black band on the left and right, so basically the screen of the game resembles a quadrat. I saw even more on my old 15.4 "laptop, because he was able to view as wide screen.

  I installed the new catalyst, but is not possible within the REC to enlarge the screen of the game for the full amount...
  I really want to solve this problem and I hope for your help.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Normally, every game, you can change the screen resolution and I think that you didn t set the resolution of the screen to the right. As far as I know the Satellite L500-164 has a native resolution of 1366 x 768. did you choose this resolution?
  If you choose another resolution that uses another format, you have these bands on the left and right sides.

  In addition, you must use the Toshiba display driver directly. Other drivers are not pre-tested and don t have protection against overheating.

• Cannot restore my Satellite L500 - 19 X

  Hi guys,.

  I recently bought a new Satellite L500 - 19 X.
  Had no real problems, until the battery died last night and now it won't start Windows at all.

  When I turn it on it comes up with "Start Windows normally" and "Launch Startup Repair tool" options. If I try to fix loads some files then goes to a black screen with the mouse. If I start windows normally he tries a fair bit and goes back to these two options.

  From what I've seen a lot of people have had similar problems, o all of sugested solutions have been in vain for me however.

  Could not load safe mode. Tried using the recovery disk that was provided and that brings just the same black screen with the cursor. Also tried booting the system without the bttery etc., which also did not work.

  I am (or at least try to run) running windows 7, which is already installed on the hard drive.

  For any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Ive pretty much has everything well tried.

  Bravo for your time. Any help would be great.

  Hello

  Hmm. you have a courier flashing in the upper left corner?
  It looks more like a HARD drive problem or a partition

  But try this:
  Switch on and press F8.
  Then choose fix my computer and then choose (if possible) HARD drive recovery.

  If this is not possible then go into the BIOS and check if the HARD drive is recognized (all details should appear).
  If the HARD drive is not recognized, then this would mean that your HARD drive is defective.

  If the HARD drive is recognized then it might be something wrong with a partition on the HARD drive

  In this case, you can try to create a WinPE bootable system diskette:
  http://en.Wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Preinstallation_Environment

  Then the could format the HARD drive again and after that who could use the recovery disk to reinstall Windows 7.

• Satellite L500-1DT: HDD Recovery of Win 7 is stuck in an endless loop

  It's a so detailed bug report please bear with me.
  If you can help, or can confirm that you have had the same thing happen to you, I will be grateful.

  I've owned several Toshiba laptops before and I've even worked for Toshiba so worry, I like the machine. But I have a problem with his recovery software. I just bought a laptop Satellite L500-1DT with Windows 7 64 bit, on behalf of a non-techie who lives elsewhere. Since I know from experience that I have to sometimes panic calls from field in the sense of "it became too slow", "How do I get rid of the accumulated junk", "maybe he had a virus" and so on, the first thing I checked was ASR, which is how to bring the HD to "like new" condition.

  So I started out in the machine, replied to the questions until I got in the appropriate operating system, then led the program "make a recovery DVD. Double layer DVD checked ok. With the freshly made DVDs, I swapped the HD for a spare part, I had (much less: only 40 GB instead of 320) and started the rescue DVD hoping it would fix my own system to the blank disc.

  He did repartition the drive according to its schema, with more or less half the space for Windows and the other half for the data, including the recovery files. He did install the system in the Windows partition. It was then restarted in Windows 7 installed in order to complete the installation. There, the trouble began: an endless loop of reboots for hours until what I stopped it.

  Loop:
  * reset
  * black screen with bright logo 4 color windows «windows startup»
  * black screen with slight blade and "Setup prepares your computer for first use.
  * blue white screen "Welcome" with "please wait" and the crossbar with green blob, saying "the installation may take several minutes. Please do not interrupt or shut down the computer! »
  * blue screen saying it stops

  Repeat the above forever.

  I saw him restart way more than 10 times over several hours. And whenever he's faking, that this is the first time she did it. Of course, this is not normal!

  I tried to stop with ctrl-alt-del and the Task Manager, but the white screen would go even the Task Manager, making it difficult to kill any process or even inspect what they were on top. I stopped it by holding down the power button until it shuts. Then when it restarts it said that if I wanted safe mode. I tried. He went into the routine above and at one point he says that he could not proceed with the installation, if it was in safe mode. So he restarted in normal mode and then...! It is finally out of the endless loop!

  Then he asked me all the usual language, record etc., questions as he did the first time I had turned on him. This seemed good. Finally, I walked into a newly installed operating system and everything seemed fine, except that I found out later that some programs that were there before were not installed.
  With bravery bordering stupidity (*) I even Redid the procedure hard disk provided instead of my rescue: first I have nuked the windows partition, then I save the HD (with F8), not with the DVD that I had done. Result: similar rigmarole, with endless reboot.

  After that I stopped it, it kind-of-worked, as above, but now some programs were lacking, such as the Toshiba DVD drive.

  (*) motivated by: better try now with the computer here and all my tools and other computers ready at hand, that when the computer died at home of its owner, and that's the only thing left to try with me at the other end of a line call. Been there before.

  Now, that specific (DVD player), that I could download it from the support page and it installed fine. But what else might be missing or not working not that I have not noticed? The restore process is clearly not working as it should.

  I'm the first or only to whom it happens? I'm doing something wrong? Is there anything else I should try?

  I need to make sure that the restore procedure works perfectly while I still have the computer in my hands. If not, there is no chance that I'll be able to do a remote reinstall for my non-techie, once I asks me to clean the laptop by phone a few months from now.

  Thanks in advance

  [Update: just looking for the right place where I could post what I found that other people report the same problem.] This is definitely a bug in the software distributed for W7 - 64 overlay, not a problem isolated to my machine. See for example
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=49421&TSTART=0 where the user kwarc described the same symptoms with a Satellite L505.

  Hello

  First of all, I must say that I could recover my trouble free unit.
  The installation of Win 7 went well and everything has been installed correctly.

  Back to you:
  To me it looks like something wrong with installation maybe some HARD drive partitions were confues perhaps, HARD drive should again formatted, and then run the recovery procedure.
  You should test

  Regarding the DVD player:
  As much as I know there is no DVD player for Win 7 64 bit. There are only available for Win 64 bit updated. If you need to install the DVD player for Win 7 32 bit version and then update using the patch released for Win7 64 bit.

• Satellite L500-1XC HDD Recovery help

  Hi I have a Satellite L500-1XC of second hand, the former owner has installed Ubuntu (which I can't access because of password) as well as windows 7 and I try restore laptop to factory settings, but I just don't know how.

  I tried to turn it off and holding, then 0 and pressing the Start button. On the bottom of the home screen says HDD Recovery at the bottom left of the screen, but after that, he just the part of the selection for me to choose Ubuntu or Windows 7 and then just charge the laptop as usual.

  I tried to get the Recovery Media Creator, but I'm not. It seems that a lot of original Toshiba Utilities and supports have been removed.

  If anyone can help me fix this laptop, I'd be so grateful that I can not really afford to buy a Toshiba Recovery disk.

  Thank you

  > I'm trying to restore the laptop to factory settings, but I just don't know how
  I put t I think that HARD drive recovery would work because Linux has been installed on the HARD drive and I think that the partition table has been changed.
  This might be the reason why the HDD recovery isn't working.

  You can always see this Toshiba document that describes the whole HARD drive recovery procedure:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/HTD1303440001R01.htm

  So now, drive HARD recovery does not work in this case, you can only use the installation disc.
  You can try to install Windows 7 using the Microsoft disk (Toshiba drivers are downloadable) or you order the disc of Arvato:

• Satellite L500-19 - remove the recovery partition and create new

  Hello!

  I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L500-19th with Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit). So far, everything is brilliant work.
  I have already created the recovery DVDs.
  As a result, could now delete the partition with the recovery program? I want to use the full space of my hard disk and create partitions as I want.
  But I don't know how I should do this?
  Could you please help me?

  Oxford

  If you are sure that the created recovery DVD is ok at 100%, you can delete all data on the second partition.
  Open Windows Explorer on the left side where is the second partition, click with the right button of the mouse and choose the FORMAT option.
  Choose the quick format option and click START.

  After a minute or two, all data will be gone.

  Please note: in the future when you want to use recovery DVD for installing Win7 the whole HARD disk is deleted and you will lose all your data.
  Using recovery DVD you can not format the C partition only.
