Satellite L500 and WIn7 upgrade - cannot use FN + F9

Hi everyone, New here so I hope someone can help.

I recently bought a Satellite L500 with Vista operating system. I've upgraded to Windows 7 with a upgrade Toshiba drive. After the upgrade I could no longer use the FN keys to switch my touchpad back on.
I had to get a bluetooth mouse to use a pointing device. Can someone help me get the keys FN working again.
Thanks in advance. Mickbarker57.

You have problem with FN + F9 only or flash cards do not work?
Have you tried to check the properties of the mouse and use the enable/disable option here?

    I hope I understand your right to question so here is what I know about it:
    When you upgrade original Vista preinstalled you do not need to activate Win7, but if you clean Win7 installation then you must activate the preinstalled version.

    With other words to have free Win7 of activations, you must install Vista first using Toshiba DVD recovery and then he move to Win7.

  • Re: Satellite L550 and Win7 - cannot use Toshiba PC Health monitor

    Hi all

    I installed Windows 7 Professional on my system and everything is great, but now I'm not able to install Toshiba PC Health monitoring more that I liked a lot. I did everything I could but all the time the installation I get the message "installation failed." So when I restart I got the software running and the symbol in the taskbar, but it shows no results.
    I tried running mode XP and Vista, but the same thing.

    All ideas

    Have you tried to installed version 1.3.2.0 Vista?
    I installed the version of Vista on my new Satellite A500 and it works correctly.

  • Satellite L500-125 - WIN7 update

    Hello

    I have a SATELLITE L500-125, and I asked Toshiba Nl if I can get Vista to WIN7.
    The 1st asnswer was as below:

    We do not support upgrading Windows Vista to Windows 7 laptop. When you are in possession of a license of Windows 7, you can download the drivers (if available) from our Web site:

    http://nl.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=NL#

    * _ * However, we cannot guarantee your laptop will work with Windows 7, since we did not test this.*_ *.

    HOW CAN TOSHIBA MAY HAVE THE DRIVERS, BUT THE LAPTOP HAS NOT BEEN TESTED?

    WHEN I ASKED FOR CONFIRMATION ON ABOVE QUESTION, ANSWER AS BELOW:

    For a complete and confirmed answer to this question, please contact our technical assistance service:

    0900 - 1000 100, choose option 2

    SO CAN SOMEONE I CAN INSTALL WIN7 ON MY LAPTOP SUCCESSFULLY?

    I "REFUSE" TO BELIEVE ALSO THAT TOSHIBA NA NOT TEST THIS LAPTOP ON WIN7.

    Hey if Toshiba offers drivers Win7 is evidence that you run Win7 on your laptop.
    I installed Win7 on old L300 and it works perfectly.

    Install Win7, install all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities and everything will be OK.

    If you need assistance with installing Win7 let us know.

  • Display problem on Satellite A300 after Win7 upgrade

    Hello everyone,

    I just did an upgrade to my Satellite A300 for Windows 7 32. I booted up my laptop and everything was fine, but after I have write my username and password and open a session on my screen becomes black.
    I hear it works, but I can't see anything.

    When I used safe mode it worked fine. I checked the display of information and it says unknown
    I downloaded the latest drivers for the ATI card on the Toshiba site, but when I install it, it says driver not detected because I think that I'm in safe mode and it is not connected and I can't install it in normal mode because I don't see anything

    What should I do?

    Help, please

    Hello

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I have too many Satellite A300 and since last week, I use Win7 too.
    On my laptop, everything works perfectly.
    I also found the small group of Toshiba on Facebook and a guy he describes how to install Win7 on Satellite A300. If you are on Facebook you can check it out HERE.

    I recommend you to install Win7 after facilities command posted here.
    If you have any other questions please let us know.

  • Satellite L500-1WH is upgrading to i5 processor possible?

    Hello

    is it possible to upgrade the processor i3 in the Satellite L500-1WH to the i5 processor?

    I have an i5 processor to an HP laptop and I want to upgrade the Toshiba, if possible.

    Thank you

    Hello

    Similar questions have been posted in the past. If you want to use the forum s advanced search option, you will get a lot of discussion on this topic.

    First of all you need to know that laptop upgrades from manufacturers (any manufacturer) don t CPU support officially.
    In case you want to upgrade the processor, you can do it at your own risk.

    Second, you should check the chipset that is used in Notepad.
    I guess that this device supports an Intel HM55 chipset.

    I found info on the processors that are supported by the chipset HM55 (click on compatible products)
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/43183/Intel-BD82HM55-PCH

    But even if you choose one of the processors referred to and supported, the BIOS can it not support because the BIOS has been designed and modified to the L500 and not tested with other pieces of equipment.

  • Satellite L500 and retrieval of records

    Hi all

    I just bought a L500 and I realized that my system is 64 bit, but the recovery disc that came with it is 32-bit.
    Does that make the whole any differece? Should I contact Toshiba for a 64-bit recovery disc or is it possible that I can create a recovery disk?

    Thank you

    Vini Cruz.

    Hey Vini Cruz,.

    I checked the specifications of some models of Satellite L500 on Toshiba website and it seems that some are equipped with 32-bit recovery disc and the preinstalled operating system is 64-bit.

    If you want a 64-bit recovery disc, you will need to create it by yourself using the Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator. It creates an image of the OS 64-bit factory settings which is the same as 32-bit but only 64 bit ;)

  • 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 - 1DT Win7: Impossible to connect my mobile G600

    Hello

    I bought my ' Satellite L500-1DT "last week and am ready to throw it out the window.

    I swam to connect my samsung G600 mobile phone, I installed the software (samsung NEW pc studio) supplied with the phone.
    That, by then, installed, but when I tried to connect the phone, he said "an unregistered design has been connected, the communication cannot go forward, move looking for new device."

    I then downloaded a driver from the samsung website, but still no joy. I now have the "Samsung PC studio 3 installed, after uninstalling other software.
    Now the phone connected by USB is even not found, even if it is reloading. I also had problems to install my wireless printer and the software, but it is another matter!

    Aaaargh!

    And what Samsung say on it.
    I mean that Toshiba has nothing to with the device and Samsung support software.

    Are you sure s Toshiba USB port works correctly?

  • 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 and problems with the Wi - Fi

    Hello people

    I'll just throw my problem there.
    First of all my details and information that can help me to help you!

    Satellite L500 running windows 7 (note: same problems when installing Vista)
    Latest drivers wireless as well as the latest drivers for everything.
    My wireless router is 1 billion active voip 7000 series sound quite good for when I got it about 2 years ago and works well.

    Basically, the problem is that the wireless on my Satellite L500 keeps dropping out. I m not more than 20 meters at most, right now I m 10 m with 1 wall in the way. I tried to make a website, and he says has fallen to either unable to find host connection.

    However other computers laptops in the same room, same place at the same time has no problem at all. Has ever.
    As soon as I'm in the same room as my router, it works again. Sometimes works if I stand right on the opposite wall.

    So basically I m thinking my card wireless in my laptop is defective or simply not good?
    Can u replace the card with another wireless? Maybe the Toshiba ones are just no good? I read so many problems with these cards Toshibas wireless...

    Anyone have any ideas? I ran out of the info you need? I repost he's again in a day or two with the types of wireless devices in every laptop.

    Hello

    For the moment, I doubt that your wireless network card is broken. Before Exchange you it you must also update your BIOS and not only the WLAN card driver. Two updates you need to download it from the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

    I had a similar problem with my Toshiba laptop and WIFI connection. The problem was in the WLAN energy saving mode Windows power management. Here, you can also choose a mode for energy saving wireless network card. Turn it off, and then choose a maximum Performance.

  • Satellite L500 and Satellite P200 - compatible keyboards?

    I need a new keyboard for my L500 and discovered, that the keyboard of the P200 (and other models) seems to be the same (105 keys, key, victory 2 keys). The keyboards are 100% compatible or they just look alike?

    Hello

    In my opinion, this question is for Toshiba service and not for forum users.

    In any case, I think the two keyboards are not the same and you must order 100% identical keyboard designed for your laptop model.

    Question is: why looking for old models of laptops keyboards if you can order a new one for L500.
    On eBay you can get quite affordable.
