• Satellite L500 - cannot activate the WLAN on FN + F8

  Hello to all users of Toshiba, Ii'm new to computers laptop Toshiba, this one beeing my 1st and iIhave a well-known problem, I read on the internet.

  I recently bought a Satellite L500-13W. It has Realtek Wifi and comes with Vista OS. I deleted Vista OS since I have the license to the retail of Windows 7 Professional and Windows 7 top intalled. All work well, Audio, video, everything outside the wireless card. I enabled from the BIOS and everything and yet when I press FN + F8 it does not activate. The drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings the upgrade of drivers. He said that the card works fine, but it does not turn on and search for Wifi signals. The Orange of the WIFI led does illuminate not.

  If anyone has a solution for this problem, I would be very grateful. I don't know what can be the problem, the software or the hardware.

  Advice me please. Thank you.

  Hi Darius1990,

  > Drivers are properly installed, as Windows 7 brings upgrade drivers
  This means that you have installed the Windows update WIFI driver and no official site of Toshiba, right?
  Well, in this case, I would try the prétestées WLAN driver from Toshiba. So you can make sure that it s not a WLAN driver related problem. Just check the WLAN from Toshiba Portal:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

  Have you tested other FN keys combination?
  If they don t work too you must install the package of added value and utility to Support Flash Cards because these two tools to control the function FN key and are important to use them correctly.

• 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 - cannot install the Intel video driver

  Ok
  complete failure of the hard drive, no recovery cd was created, reloaded windows 7, looked up and downloaded the drivers from Toshiba, BUT there are only two video drivers listed, amd and Intel, both marked "for model only supported" its an Intel machine so I tried the Intel driver but it doesn't install, it just closes which I believe if the corresponding material is not found is the default action for these drivers.

  But I'm stuck with 'standard VGA graphics adapt' all other drivers loaded perfectly, (I installed the driver from chipset Intel first and rebooted, so it should be ok but it s not)

  Any ideas?

• Satellite L500 - cannot turn off the WiFi and network icon changing itself

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L500-1GL (comes with Win 32-bit =) and since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function. When I use the shortcut key to activate or disable the indicator led is turning on and off, but the wireless feature is always turned on and even the icon which shows the network connection, itself changes without doing something with it.

  A few times it shows Red Cross (as she has no connection), but says: connected. When I use wireless connecton always displays the cable connection icon. most of the time, when he should have been showing the strength of the signal.

  This is reaally annoing. Please help me solve this problem.

  Hi danihun,

  > since I installed the latest updates I can not disable the wireless function.
  The updates you have installed exactly?

  In your case, I would try a system restore to an earlier point.

• Satellite C660 - cannot install BIOS 1.50

  Hey.

  I just bought a new Satellite C660 24 hours. I have installed all updates and programs for the PC to run more smooth, but I can not install the Bios 1.50. It gives me an error when I try to install it.
  When I go to see the latest version of the bios it say it is 1.20.

  How can this be repaired?

  See you soon.

  Hey,.

  Why do you update the BIOS? You have problems with your new laptop C660?
  I mean the BIOS update is always a bit risky, so I just wanted to update so it s really necessary, otherwise the BIOS update is not important and you can forget it.

  Just have fun with your new laptop computer and enjoy! :)

• Re: Satellite L300 - cannot access BIOS

  My daughter has a Satellite L300 suddenly failed so that on the net. Computer suddenly locked with the whitewashed display picture. Computer could not be shutdown and the task manager would not meet Alt, CTRL, DELETE.

  Laptop was forcibly stopped with a 5 seconds press the power button followed of a reboot. The unit began to start the system, showing the "f2" Toshiba bios or f12 for boot selection, but not details. The "f2", or the f12 key had an effect - i.e. the parameters of the BIOS could not access with f2 & startup option has not posted with f12. Have a set of Toshiba Vista recovery disc I inserted the disc 1, forced another followed stop of a reboot. The disk ran upward and displays "Windows is loading files...". "with a progress below bar that gradually developed 100%, followed by the"Microsoft Corporation"logo with the loading above bar. This lasted a few minutes, but then only shows one arrow big mouse controlled. Disc 2 has never been called for, no program loaded and none were available.

  The loss of access to the BIOS me was more concerned the inability to load Vista, but none are good.

  I'm calling on the cell phone of the guru to help me with this baffling problem - HELP!

  Hello

  Normally you can access the BIOS if you press the F2 key once you have turned on your laptop. Press on and hold this key until you are in the BIOS menu.

  If you can boot from the recovery disc, it should be possible to access the BIOS because it passes the BIOS self-test and until there is no hardware problem.

  If you connect an external keyboard, you can access the BIOS? An alternative you can also try to press F12 for the boot menu.

  You can also try this, if nothing else works:

• Satellite L500 - cannot adjust the brightness of the screen

  I have a L500 - came out with Windows 7. I can't also adjust the brightness - the external monitor is fine. 17 other laptops in the same school are fine - just this one.
  The FN key doesn't seem to work - the laptop screen is so dark, that it is not readable.

  I didn't know all the answers that respond to that?

  Hi redmg,

  The FN keys are controlled by value added and Flash Cards Support utility package. So if you can use t FN keys correctly reinstall these two tools of Toshiba. You can download on the official page of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  But remove older versions before installing the new versions.

  After that all FN keys should work properly again.

• Satellite L500 cannot connect to the internet

  I just bought a new Toshiba L500
  I have a NETGEAR router that works on my other laptop, desktop and IPHONE, but it does not work on my Toshiba L500.

  I can't find the NETGEAR router using the icon in the lower right corner but when I login I get this message error "Windows could not connect to netgear.

  Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

  Hey,.

  Do you have an IP address of your router and have you tried a static IP address?

  Also, check your firewall settings. Maybe the firewall is blocking the connection to your router.
  In addition, an update of the firmware on your router is always advisable. :)

• Satellite L500: cannot change display Multiple to play via the TV

  After following the instructions to connect the computer to the TV via HDMI there is no signal. Followed the instructions in the user manual, but
  User manual said to go to adjust properties/display resolution/advanced/GenericPnPMonitor/graphics properties, then click on "Display Multiple", but there is only a drop-down list option 'Single view' and 1 primary device in the laptop.

  When I toggle FN + F5 to change the display it shows only the display LCD.

  Is it something simple, I'm missing or suggests a flaw with the Toshiba display driver?
  Thank you

  Hello

  Because I use the HDMI connection, I can recommend this:
  First of all, connect the cable to your laptop and a TV or external monitor. Then turn on the TV and choose the right input channel. Finally turn on the laptop, and normally the HDMI connection will be recognized automatically.

  If it doesn t work I recommend you to update the display driver and BIOS. Both can be based on the Toshiba site.

• Satellite L500 - cannot create recovery discs - 0D00F6-49-00000001 error

  Hello

  My pc start up after that I did a system restore. For example, I can't use the function fn key.

  Last week I tried to format my pc. But when I opened the TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator got an untimely error 00000001-49-0D00F6.

  I've managed to create 2 4 DVDs. IM using Dvd - r from memorex.
  If anyone can help.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  This is the first time that you try to create recovery discs?

  How you created 2 discs if the Toshiba recovery disc creator starts by mistake?

  Anyway, in this forum you will find similar topics. No doubt some recovery file is damaged, and the drive could not be created.
  I put t think that there is something that you can about it. Either it works or not. Maybe you should contact the nearest Toshiba service and explain the situation. I hope they can help you with this and disc Toshiba DVD original to order for you.

• Satellite A300: cannot start: blocked by Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility

  {SUMMARY: "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility" appears every time you start, requesting a non-existent password.} How to get rid of this request? }

  This one is a little weird. We have a Tosh Satellite A300-193 mobile (Code manufacturer: PSAJ1E-01000XEN) purchased from July 2008 (via Getech educational scheme). We have (had) Kaspersky Anti-virus on this subject, but since his license has expired (and they didn't really like it), I was going to remove and install Avast.

  Kasperky removal instructions involve have their tool "kavremove" who say their instructions must be run in safe mode. So, after downloading the tool, I pressed F8 to boot into safe mode...

  ... And that's where things went wrong. Instead of typical black screen startup options screen, I got a splash screen at the level type, with a request for password of "Phoenix TrustedCore Setup Utility. We have never set a password on this computer, and I've never seen this particular screen before. After three bad guess (of course they're wrong!, and it does not matter if I leave the field blank), the unit turns off.

  Now when I turn it on, it just goes right to the request for password of Phoenix: I hit F2, F12, F8 or whatever it is. I can't establish why it should do, or how I can possibly bypass it. None of my password guess work (of course).

  I googled for hours (literally), closes the thing, I could find were instructions in [a post on the forum USA | http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Windows-Vista-Windows-XP/Satellite-A205-Cannot-Access-BIOS/m-p/123075#M7749]. It was a partial solution: we can start the machine with this procedure (phew!).

  Unfortunately, it is not a permanent solution. After EACH stop, at the next start-up presents impossible demand "password." So it comes to pull the battery (again), to the phase of "discharging", battery, turn on and - it boots. Or at least, he has every time so far.

  This is going to be extremely painful. Any tips or to tackle the problem of pointers, which would be welcome. I will never see this request for password "Setup Utility".

  Thank you!

  Hello

  I think the password loss is the BIOS password.
  I m wondering why this password is displayed when starting if you have not set it

  However, the point is that the BIOS password can be removed if you n t know this password.
  Unknown BIOS password can be removed by a Toshiba authorized service partner.
