• Satellite L500 - some problems with the internal webcam

  Hello.

  My L500-13v is a little over a year old, but from the beginning, I'm having a lot of the built in ' USB 2.0 webcam» Sometimes it works, more often, is not, sometimes, I try to open the camera app and it says "device is locked by another application" despite not using any other application in time. When I try it on Msn or other applications, I just either get a black screen or "no device connected". I also get a pop up saying "this device can operate more quickly if connected to a hi speed usb 2.0 port" so I wonder if Toshiba have connected the camera of 2.0 to a 1.0 port internally, (at the time I thought not usb 1.0 was even used.) In Device Manager, it lists six standard usb host controllers and only two controllers to improved host 2.0). I used to always get that when I take the computer off the sleep mode. However I always stop instead of sleep, but its still a very regular, even when I use the cam, it can suddenly gives me this message and then stops working. Recently, when I click to open ""Toshiba Webcam Application"I get a blue screen saying"irql not less equal"which according to me is a hardware error." and then it auto restarts.

  This laptop is preinstalled with vista, the webcam using a microsoft driver. I contacted toshiba about this problem last year, but they only told me to install the application driver 'web cam' on their site which I had already tried in safe mode and normal mode, I do not know why they give just a standard INF file. Vista will automatically pick up their driver and continues to try to reinstall the microsoft one, I finally managed to install the driver of toshiba by manually choosing Select a driver from the list, unchecking, show compatable drivers and finding Toshiba and PanGu, but after that, I still have the same problem.

  I hope that someone more knowledgeable than me can help me with this, thanks.

  Hey Buddy,

  To be honest, I would also reinstall the webcam driver but maybe you did something wrong

  So in your case I remove the current version of the webcam software and then restart your laptop. Now clean the registry using the freeware CCleaner tool which is a really nice tool to clean the system and delete the incorrect registry keys. After that, restart the computer and install the new software of the webcam of the official website of Toshiba.

  Normally after this procedure your webcam should work properly again.
  If this is not the case you should try a recovery facility, maybe something is blocking the the webcam driver who knows

• Satellite C850 - found problems with the networking and the FN key

  Hey everybody,

  I work on a Satellite Toshiba C850, that my parents recently bought and spin in a certain number of questions.

  (1) wireless won't connect to my network. Have done the following: verified by connecting on two other computers, reset the router, the open network, reset the map, reinstalled the realtek drivers, checked the settings in the networking of Toshiba Utilities. End result is he's going to try, and fail. Wired LAN works fine.

  (2) FN key does not work. Have you checked the region and it is OK, have tried to use the Flash cards - no change, checked with the screen keyboard and can check the FN key does not register.

  I noticed that the first problem is common, but there are obvious positive results. If anyone can offer any assistance, I would appreciate it a lot.

  Before you begin to discuss your problems can you please tell us what OS you are using?
  Are you using the original OS that you got with your laptop? I mean original recovery image has been tested and works correctly, with the factory settings that all should especially the FN keys.

  1 / What do you mean with refusing? your WLAN is visible for your laptop?

  2 / if there is problem with the feature keys FN and you use Win7 try please reinstall extra package from Toshiba.

• Satellite L500: WARNING: problem with cooling system message

  Dear Toshiba

  Some may perhaps explain to me how that happens.

  We have 2 x L500 computers laptops, one was bought and activated a day of July 2010 (Computer1)
  The other was purchased 1 day later the same store and activated the same day - 1 day later (machine 2)

  Yesterday machine 1 responded with the warning message, there is a problem with the cooling system - please turn the machine off and return it for service.

  Machine 2 responded today with the exact same message, just after turning on after 4 hours OFF... an unusual situation say you or are - this sort of built in: service to generate the functionality?
  I'm not convinced it's a stroke of luck and there is nothing wrong with a machine that I could see.

  Anyway to reset every machine has solved the problem, see how long it takes to return.
  As you may have guessed, two machines are out of warranty by a few months now.

  If any of you have a similar problem, would be happy to hear from you.

  Kind regards

  Ernie

  Hello

  One of my friends had the Satellite L500. As far as I know the laptop works pretty well.

  I do not know if this message was created because of a software problem, but the laptop should automatically stops down if the cooling modules would not work properly and the temperature would goes up to a higher level of m

  So I recommend watching the temp for the next time level and of course, you could get in touch with a Toshiba ASP in your country if notice plu temp or a hardware problem with the module cooling

• Satellite C40D-C - problems with the system

  I recently bought an a toshiba satellite C40D-C Series notebook PC as my old satellite - essentially - is dying. After you connect to the internet, I tried to download AVG Antivirus on my computer that I don't have - and never - trust McAfee anti-virus that comes with the computer. Every time downloaded AVG then restart my computer, the computer goes directly into the automatic repair system and doesn't let me do anything but to reset or restore. This has happened even with completely removed McAfee. I've been on AVG directly today (January 15), and they have to do remote set-up for me - with the same results. Yes, I'm aware that McAfee is a selfish cry of a system and refuses to acknowledge any other antivirus, but that this issue happens even with completely removed McAfee shows clearly that it is something that Toshiba has worked in the system. I can't even disable the automatic repair tool. I have to be stuck with a McAfee antivirus which, moreover, does not yet or is Toshiba will make an effort to help solve a problem they caused?

  Why this computer isn't allowing AVG Antivirus work? And why, after each attempt to download AVG, the computer goes to auto repair whenever I shut down or restart? Is this a problem with the system or something, Toshiba has done on purpose?

• Satellite U500-17F: problems with the new HARD drive

  Hi everyone, I got some troubleshooting with my Satellite and a new drive, I bought recently, because that is already damaged because of too many bad sectors. One is a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 Bg (WD3200BEKT model number). It should be a fast reader but is not with my Satellite.

  After having mounted the drive in the laptop, I ran a new installation (with full disk format} Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the necessary drivers (that I downloaded directly from the Page of Support Toshiba.)

  The problem is that the laptop needs a lot of time to start and also to disable, and whenever I try to run an application or start a program (for example Firefox, or just a few windows applications), the laptop freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds, the drive no longer works (you can hear leaders put in position 'parking' and the HDD LED control is constant) ", no lights flashing).

  It seems that the drive (during this 30-60 seconds) in something as a stand-by mode. I ran a few Western Digital diagnostic tools and the car looks all right to 100%. It works also without any problems in the other laptop (HP Pavilion DV6500). Could this be a problem with the controller (Intel ICH9M - E ATA AHCI controller) driver?

  Any suggestion?
  Thanx

  Hello

  You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check if you need a BIOS update. Of course I read in a few discussions on the similar question of Win XP you use Win 7 but its value to check the update of the BIOS and U500 series.

  In addition, I recommend check you the power of Windows 7 options.
  Disable in the power profile that you use power saving HDD.

  Just a question:
  You use the option AHCI in the BIOS?
  As far as I know it of possible to use either a compatible SATA AHCI mode.
  AHCI must be used because this option would use full SATA performance.

• Satellite C660D - a problem with the cooling system has been detected

  My laptop is a * Toshiba Satellite C660D-11th * and I have a message that keeps coming up every once in a while 'alert system' head and reads as follows: "WARNING: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." (Next line) Please, turn off computer immediately and return it for service. »

  I had this warning for the coming weeks and it tolerated, but it worsened and annoyed me for the last time. I can hear the fan and the computer is not over heating (the CPUCool freeware tool detects a 51º CPU temprature C). No further questions arise as the computer slows down, it is right in the path of what I do, like typing right now.

  I tried to solve the problem by changing the "Power Options" in the control panel of Windows 7 'High Performance', and then selected under the 'battery' both 'Sector' columns, 'Never' for the parameter "put the computer to sleep. It seems to work, and no error message has occurred since then. However, this is not a solution...

  Please help quickly, this prevents me from working and even other things now.

  Thank you

  Hello

  Usually, this message would appear if something is not wrong with the cooling system. But I read here in the forum that maybe it's a bug of software and after new system recovery this message should no longer appear.

  But if you notice some upper temperature or abnormal noises, then I recommend to check this with a service technician

• H satellite L505-13 - problem with the resolution of games

  Hello, I have a problem with the resolution of games, I just that:
  800 x 600 and 1024 x 768
  Yet, I have the latest version of the ati driver and directx 11...

  Windows Dectet my monitor properly (plug-and-play), and my screen resolution works well for: 1366 x 768 and 800 x 600.
  on the other hand, when I start a game I have only the choice between these two resolution: 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768...

  All the games don t fit the full screen and there is always a black area on the right and left.

  Some games (crash)... and I thought it made a link with said that I have only 2 resolution.

  I have a toshiba L505 - h - 13 (PSLS9E)
  my graphics card: ati mobility radeon hd 5145 graphics card
  OS: win 7 32 bit

  I hope someone can help me find a solution
  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  I put t know what games you want to play, but generally speaking, it of also depending on the game you can use screen resolutions. For example if your game supports only 2 screen resolutions, you can only use these resolutions.

  So all you can do is update the driver DirectX and display. Then, look for an update (patch) for the game.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite U400 - 10L: problem with the start-up & reboot

  Hello

  Well I don't like much about the touchpad overheating but I have a problem. When I restart this mobo instead of activate after a reboot it stays black without any reaction only lower diods, dvd - rom and the display flashes (can't hear fan or hard drive).

  If I press the power button / stop all the icons of diod (ac, pwr, hdd bat) shine up just for a second and new (can't hear the fan hard drive or cpu) computer does not turn on. All this happened only when AC cable is connected to the power if I use just notebook power source battery boots and restart without problems.

  If I remove battery completely from the laptop, once more, I get the same symptoms (cannot start). And the saddest part of this story is the fact that I got brand new Toshiba U400 10 L to the seller and got a new.
  It has the exact same problem.
  As you all probably understand im crazy because in the last two days, I tried really everything, including the BIOS without flashing and the success.

  Well im not sure whats going on, but this could be the problem with the battery or a bad contact?
  Any ideas?
  I would return it back?

  Thanks much for the reply

  Hello

  The behavior of your laptop is really strange and I suppose it might be bound only to a hardware problem.

  A friend of mine couldn't t start the laptop connected to the AC adapter the power adapter is faulty. It was only possible to start Notepad using the battery, and only if the battery was not completely empty.

  I put t know if your AC adapter failures but the authorized service provider should definitely check out the laptop and accessory for laptop (AC adapter).

  Then call the ASP in your country and ask the technicians for later handling.

  Greetings

• Satellite A660 - 07P problem with the pointer of the mouse using the touchpad

  I just bought my A660 07P last Thursday, September 15, 10 and I noticed that I had problems with the mouse pointer using the touchpad.

  From time to time, the cursor/pointer is locked and seems something like a button up and down.
  I assume it's because it's on a mode of waiting, but in this case as every 5 minutes.
  When it is locked, it will also change the zoom percentage when the touchpad is struck. It is very not when I'm in the middle of something and I can not move the pointer. In addition, the start is very slow.

  BTW, I have not installed any programs or applications. I'm still testing until Friday, otherwise I'll go back to where I bought it.

  Hi mate

  This isn't touchpad problem.
  I guess as support for computer laptop MULTI-TOUCH PAD
  There are a few additional features supported by touchpad, and I think that you have enabled this while using the touchpad

  The touchpad supports the features:
  _ChiralMotion_
  You can scroll vertically and horizontally

  _Pinch Zoom_
  This feature provides functionality like the scroll wheel zooming

  _Rotating (chiral spin) _
  This provides gestures to rotate the photos and other objects

  _Momentum_
  This feature provides a smooth, fast trackball as the movement of the mouse. A quick finger on the touchpad surface can move the sliders in the entire screen.

• Satellite Pro C650D - problems with the audio and game controllers

  Hello

  I recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones and game controllers.
  Sometimes the microphone stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

  Stakeholders sometimes still work when I connect headset.
  Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers while some coming through the headphones.

  I have a usb game controller which also did not work everything properly.
  If I assign buttons in the program that they do not work in the game.

  All these devices are in Device Manager in a group that makes me think it's sort of annoying update doubtful that messes with them.

  Any body have similar problems or know what to do better?

  See you soon
  Laurin

  Hello

  Can you please send some details on the laptop model and the system you are using?

  With regard to the issue of sound/mic:
  > The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

  Are you talking about internal microphone or external? This only happens using Skype?
  In your case I would test the microphone using different applications to make sure that is not a Skype related issue.

  > Yet sometimes the speakers work when I connect headset.
  I recommend this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65295

  The user has had a similar problem, but this phenomenon was linked to the Realtek HD Audio Manager settings.
  She wrote:
  + In the upper right corner, there is a small yellow folder called "Connector settings" in my version. +
  + There, finally I could re-enable the setting "enable popup dialog box, when the unit is plugged. +

  + So now when I plug an external speaker or headphones, it appears, and I select the option "helmet" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+

  Regarding the game controller:
  > I have a usb game controller which also did not work everything properly.
  > If I attribute buttons in the program, they do not work in the game.
  I put t think its problem of laptop in my opinion, you must make sure that the controller is compatible with the games you play and also recommended to check some info provided by the manufacturer of the game controller.

• Satellite A300-1EG: problem with the touchpad after installing Windows 7

  Hello!

  I had a problem with my touchpad since I installed Windows 7 (64-bit version) on my laptop (Toshiba) A300-1EG.

  I tried many different solutions to this problem.
  I checked the alignment of the touchpad (be it on) in the BIOS, I tried to install several drivers (on a site of Synaptics, automatically by Windows) and none of these work. Of course, I tried FN + F9 key combination.
  When I check the alignment of the touchpad in the Control Panel, everything seems fine. It is written, that "device working properly.

  I have Toshiba Software, what may be the cause of the problem?
  But I have no idea where I can find something.

  I'd appreciate any help.

  I hope to be understandable - English is not my mother tongue :) Thank you very much in advance for any ideas. :)

  Hi mate

  I'm not quite sure what problem you have but you should first try to install the necessary drivers touchpad m.
  Maybe you used the wrong driver in the past

  So Sat A300-1EG belongs to the series of PSAG4E.
  The European driver Toshiba page does not provide a special touchpad driver for Win 7 for this device.

  But I noticed that Win 7 64 bit drivers touchpad (Alps & Synaptics) for Satellite L500 PSLS3E series is released on the European driver page.
  Try both drivers Touch Pad for this device and test it!
