• Regognises Satellite L505-13F as a series L500 TEMPRO.

  Hello

  Software Regognises TEMPRO my laptop to the 13th L505 as a L500,

  This touch updates and optimization?

  Rgrds

  Hello

  I put t think that this will affect the updates or any system optimization.
  Still, that Satellite L505 belongs to the series L500 and Tempro informs you that the version of the driver on the driver page.

  It s not a challenge to make an update! It s just a notification and, in my opinion it s not necessary to update all the drivers if you have no problems!

• Satellite L505 - installer of recovery cannot complete

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L505 with pre installed Windows 7 64-bit. I have created a recovery DVD (2 discs) with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator after the first use.
  I want to restore to factory settings now, but I can't get back my L505 nor with the HARD drive or recovery discs recovery. The problem is the following:
  (I tried first with HARD drive recovery, did not work - I have the same problem with recovery DVDs)

  1. start with recovery disc 1
  2. you start the recovery process
  3. the process creates partitions and copy images (disc 1 and 2). After it is done it asks to restart the system.
  4. after restarting, I see on the screen: «Preparing for first use...» »
  5. after 1 Minute I see the message "Please wait... complete the installation.
  6. after 5-6 Minutes, the laptop restarts automatically (without error)
  7 step 4-6 is repeatd infinitely; and I can't use the lapotop

  It seems that the installation program is unable to complete the installation. It was the same problem with the recovery of HARD drive too, I thought that the recovery disc will help you... didn't.
  After several attempts I tried to delete all scores on HARD drive, but did ' t solve my problem.

  Any suggestion?
  Thank you in advance!

  Hi kwarc,.

  I have a similar portable Satellite L500. I've had the laptop with preinstalled Windows 7 also but I n t had problems to get it back. Both HARD drive recovery works and the Toshiba Recovery disk that I created.

  I think that it s really hard to say what is the reason why, maybe a problem with the image of recovery or material. You can try to install Windows using a Microsoft disc, please?
  It work?

  In the worst cases, you need help from an authorized service provider. Technicians can check your laptop. :)

• Satellite L505 - wireless connection is slow

  Curlie028,
  I'm having the same problem with a brand new Toshiba Satellite L505 - Windows 7 64-bit with the Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless NIC.

  I've tried EVERYTHING.

  [http://www.dslreports.com/speedtests/] starts at approximately 1480 Kbps speed of download and then quickly falls less than 300 Kbps. Cable LAN gives download speed 1480 Kbps all the time on my DSL connection. But when I use the Realtek wireless NETWORK card, the speed starts up quickly, while it tapers rapidly to < 300 Kbps.

  My daughter has a Satellite A500 (not L500) with another wireless adapter. Sitting side by side anywhere in the House, his laptop, when accessing the same wireless router, always enjoys almost 1500 kbits/s such as measured by www.dslreports.com/speedtests/ - but not with my laptop!

  I've done everything that I can to investigate this on my own - as you - driver updated, update the BIOS, turning off all the stuff of Norton Internet Security Suite, different browsers, you name it.

  I even tried the settings "netsh int tcp set global", running the speedtest repeatededly that I made changes following the steps on this site: [http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=2574]

  The only thing left to do is call the Toshiba Support and start their districts relentlessly until something gives... I don't want to return the laptop. I want them TROUBLE THE PROBLEM!

  Mike

  Hey Buddy,

  You wrote that you tried as the driver update, etc.
  But it would be interesting to know which driver you have installed. Please install the latest official page of Toshiba with Realtek WLAN driver directly. All the drivers from the Toshiba page are pre-tested for your laptop.
  Check this box!

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running your own Windows installation or factory settings.

  The Norton Internet Security software isn t so fast. I recommend to uninstall and choosing another AntiVirus such as AntiVir. The firewall, you can use the windows one.

• H satellite L505-13 supports 3 G? SIM card under the battery available

  Hello

  I tried to clean my computer toshiba laptop L505-h-13, when I found a sign of a SIM card under the battery.
  I tried to put a SIM card, but it does not belong. It is directly "swollowed.
  So my laptop does support 3 G SIM? If so, how could I put?
  Concerning

  Hello

  No, the Satellite L505-h-13 doesn't support 3G module.

  I guess as some models of the Satellite L500 / L505 series was equipped with the 3G module.
  The fact is that the same bottom cover has been used in the entire series L500 and is why there is a slot for SIM under the battery.

• Satellite L505-141 - Purchas of recovery disk

  Hi guys,.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-141 (Ser: 3A027302K), but unfortunately he had a problem and my broken hard drive.
  I have change the drive hard and after that, I realized that I have my restore disk as well.

  I found that I can order the CD by (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/) but this site is to ship it in Europe and at the moment I'm living in Australia. In the billing details, I can't choose the Australia.

  So, my question is if it is possible I can upload an image (by buying of course)?
  If not, how I can put in place a delivery address in Australia?

  Thanks in advance

  > So my question is if it is possible I can upload an image (by buying of course)?
  Now, to my knowledge it of not possible to download the recovery image

  > If not how I can put in place a delivery address in Australia?
  I think the delivery in regions other than Europe isn't possible and I think that the European disc of recovery for laptops models cannot be operated outside of Europe.

• Satellite L505-10z - Win 7 tools are not compatible with Win 8

  My laptop is Satellite L505-10z. I installed Windows 8 Pro and I noticed that many drivers (especially PVAT) I downloaded at Toshiba support site Web (which are originally for Windows 7) doesn't work do not! When Toshiba released drivers for Windows 8? My model will be included in the driver updates?

  Thank you

  > downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba support (which are originally for Windows 7) works not!

  Win 7 tools and utilities are made for Win 7 and Win No 8

  > When Toshiba released drivers for Windows 8? My model will be included in the driver updates?
  I think you should ask Toshiba. It is a user community.
  But I think that Toshiba would begin with driver support if Win 8 would be OFFICIALLY available on the market.

• Satellite L505 - 10 p - looking for Windows 7 serial number

  At the back of my computer, I can't read the serial number of Windows 7, but I need this number.

  Satellite L505 - 10 p - Reference: PSLS3E-01G00JFR

  I have the serial number of this laptop and an old toshiba warranty - Europe.com

  I hope... confused:

  I have lost the original CD (or DVD) Toshiba. So, I need this number

  Even if you would be able to read the key to series of windows 7 that appears at the bottom of the unit, this will not help you will activate another Win 7 system.
  It is an OEM key that belongs to the preinstalled image and does not work under the other system.

• I accidentally installed Win7 32 bit on my Satellite L505-110

  If I had to format my computer. I used the cd that came with the laptop. (Satellite L505-110) Which is Windows 7 32 bit. I discovered he had the 64-bit installation program in the drive "C". and now I'm stuck with 32-bit which is trolling. I can't even surf the internet. I need another format.

  My computer gurantee ended. If an ask for 64 bit cd will send a? I am a student and I have no money to buy :/ (Sorry for the bad language)

  Hello

  Your only mistake is that you don't l l create original recovery disk. Now after the original 32 bit version 64-bit version is available on your laptop more.
  You can order the 64-bit version, but unfortunately it is not for free. It costs about 30 euros.

  Please visit https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx and you you can find all the information on the order of recovery disk.

• Satellite L505-13W - FN keys were not and touchpad problem

  Hello everyone,

  I have two questions and I'd highly appreciate your help.

  First, when I got the laptop he used to have a Fn bar that comes down from the top of the screen when I press the Fn, it shows all the keys Fn, now it disappeared. I need to get it back, I almost tried everything and nothing is there yet.

  Second, the touchpad is a zoom no more when I apply the 2 fingers in and out, he used to do that before.

  My laptop is Satellite L505-13W

  Thanks in advance

  Hi abdouni,.

  1. I think that the problem is related to Toshiba Value added Package, and Flash Cards Support utility. These two tools control FN keys and cards Flash appears if you press the FN key.
  You can download it from the official website of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Regarding the installation: first remove these two tools and reboot the laptop. Now, install the package of added value and stop and start again. Install the Flash Cards Support utility and do a restart. Now, the FN keys should work again.

  2. it could be related to value added package too to check my ad.
  If it s does not work, reinstall the driver for the touchpad.

• Satellite L505-138 - CPU upgrade question

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505-138

  Parts no: psls9e-00u00wg3
  Series: No.: 1a511094k

  The processor I have now is the i3 330

  I want to spend to i7
  Is this possible and can you link me where to buy the right one which suitable to my laptop

  > Is it possible?
  Perhaps, in the case of the new processor would be supported by the BIOS and chipset, you ve got a good chance to upgrade the processor.
  But Toshiba but also other laptop manufacturers don t support these updates and so everything you do is at your own risk!

  First I would recommend you to get information about your chipset. Intel ARK page you might check what processors would be supported by the chipset.
  Fact is that this series of mobile were equipped with the Intel Dual Core CPU Intel Arrandale CPU family. In case you really want to try a new processor, I suggest you to choose one of this family.

  But beware: even if chipset would support the new processor, the BIOS can be one of the parties causing disorders. Unfortunately I haven't found any information which processors can be taken in charge by the BIOS

• Satellite L505-11F - need to download BIOS 1.80

  I've updated my bios to 2.10 a few days ago, everything was fine but now I get video_tdr_failure accidents. It started with Win 10 64 bits as long that play any other games was fine expect some problems of pixel like broken pixels colored on videos, I thought that the problem could be win 10 64-bit. I changed my OS for win 7 32 bit and it is worse, now I can't even use firefox or chrome my videocard just stops after I opened the. I think that it is a bios issue or my video card is dead. Bios to 1.80 change could help but I couldn't find it anywhere, please can you share link to bios Satellite L505 1.80?

  I changed my new OS now I use win 10 32 bit and im getting tdr crash if I upgrade my gpu driver, I think it's because the resolution after resolution improved changes in 1366 x 768 and I get tdr crash. While I was with win 7 I was able to put resolution 1366 x 768, but I have not even managed to use firefox, look at the crash of tdr videos insta. At the moment, not a not update my gpu drivers, it is still "Microsoft Basic gpu" so the resolution is 1024 x 768 and I can use all programs or watch videos even full hd, but there are a large number of artifacts. I have no idea of my video card is dead or it's bios problem?

• Satellite L505-10 t - upgrade CPU

  Hello
  I own a Satellite L505-10 t and want to change the CPU with a more powerful model. What are the processors supported today?

  Update CPU is not supported and if you do something like that, it's at your own risk. Toshiba has created a document on this subject and you can read it on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  Also very important is that this action will void the warranty. In my opinion, it is not good idea. In General, the performance of the processor can't be so bad and what you can do is RAM and HARD drive upgrade. RAM can be upgraded to the maximum level and the HARD drive can be swapped with fast SSD.
  I did it on my machine and the performance of the laptop is just amazing. Two upgrades are supported by Toshiba and you can do it ourselves.
