• Satellite L505-111 graphics card question.

  Hello world

  It is somewhat a noobish question but I'm kinda new to laptops. I bought this laptop Satellite L505-111, and in the specs it says I have ATI mobility Radeon 4650 in the form of graphics card. In any case, it was the main reason I bought the laptop. But when I look at windows (I have Windows 7 64 bit version) care. or through PC Wizard, it tells me I have ATI Mobility radeon 4600 series. Can you tell me if it is ok or why it shows me 4600 series and not of 4650.

  Hey Buddy,

  Don t you worry about this, everything is ok with your laptop.

  ATI Mobility 4600 series means that all the cards in this series, e. g. 4650 (which you have), 4670 or 4630, etc..

  On my desktop it s the same. Here, I have Radeon 4870, but the pilot shows only 4800 series. ;)

• 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 L505-13F - overheating problem?

  Hello

  Nearly a year after the purchase of a Toshiba Satellite L505-13F, I started noticing problems with temperature (it starts goes to 70º, sometimes more, hitting 89º), even had the computer just turned off (not the right way through the windows, instead, in an instant, it's on, the other is off when it hits 90 degrees). I bought a cooling rack to keep the computer at low temperatures, but the position is not so good and temperatures get brought to 60º at best, but does not solve the problem temporarily.

  Usually, I have Skype (normally I'm not on a call so the cpu is not dope, but I the ocasional call), msn, irc, have a program to check emails regularly (thunderbird) and have firefox open. Maximum CPU spikes or 32% with all these open (normally this is 9 to 14% or more), so I don't think it's any problem related to the massive processing (but like anything else, sometimes it stings to the largest percentage, but not so much that, nor for as long). I use all these at the same time. Because of the temperature problem, I installed an app to regularly check the State of the system.

  The problem is internally in the computer, I guess it's maybe because the fan is stuck or something. I clean the dust when it's time, but it also solves the problem temporarily (I do not open the housing of the computer, however, because it is under warranty and I don't want to void the warranty or break the computer). I would like to find a more permanent solution without having to buy anything else I don't think it's the right solution for the problem.

  The computer was purchased in 2010 and the warranty is 2 years, so I guess it's possible to send the computer to fix, but I'm not aware of the procedure of this situation.

  After showing the problem, the question is: what are the steps required to check this problem? I have to send the laptop to the store (where I bought it) to send to toshiba or what I need to send it to me?

  Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

  PS: I'm an advanced user, I do a lot of things with the computer, but I can survive a few days without computer (maybe: P)

  Dust and debris are the main reasons why the laptop overheats. Dust inside the cooling modules prevent fans turn faster which affect the cooling and leads to a higher temperature.
  So, as you said; withdrawal of aid of dust that you and this should be made from time to time.

  It is a temporal solution for you, you say? Hmm, I do not know how you want to use the laptop is a room free of dust? Only this would prevent the dust of cooling modules.

  I have to clean my laptop using a jet of compressed air. This allows and does not affect my warranty.

• 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 L505-13W - 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 - 10K - Partition for Linux

  Hello.
  I bought a Satellite l505 - 10 k a month a go and it comes with 3 partitions.

  1-> 400 MB my guess based on prior experience installing linux is that s a partition to startup or something like that, (the first time I tried to install linux, I deleted it and the third one (called 'data') and the laptop becomes unable to start.)

  2nd-> 250 GB system (w7 x 32)

  3-> named data, I Don t know what is this to.

  My question is, can someone give an idea or a tip on how to can install a linux distribution? because if I erase the 3rd and the 1st to have/home and / (and of course the swap) the laptop fails, and if I leave the first partition and can´t have / and / home because he says as West a number of partitions and can´t of the laptop handle it.

  Another question I had is when I raced the last ubuntu livecd, I was unable to get the wireless operation. I have a Realtek RTL8191SE Wireless.

  Thanks in advance

  If you don't want to delete any partition, you can use wubi link: [http://wubi-installer.org/]
  News page of wubi:
  * Wubi is an installer of Ubuntu with support for Windows users who can bring you in the world of Linux in one click. Wubi allows you to install and uninstall Ubuntu as any other Windows application, in a simple and safe way.*

  How to install driver Realtek RTL8191SE (from http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1267961):
  * I have a Toshiba Satellite L505 and here's what worked for me: run terminal and type
  "sudo apt - get install ndisgtk" and after it is done go here and download the driver for win2k.
  Then, I just unzipped the driver file in the download file. Then I clicked on
  system-administration-windows driver wireless and sought
  for downloads - rtl8191 (the file that you unzipped) - 91_92_SE_Driver - win2k - net8192se.inf
  click install, and then close. Has worked for me hope it works for you! I had to use WPA Personal

• Satellite L505 - 10K - recovery disk contains only Windows 7 32-bit

  Hello, I have a question.

  I bought a Satellite L505 - 10 k a month ago. It came with Windows 7 x 64, 3 partitions (I don't know why, 3? seriously?). I tried to install Linux, delete the last partition, called 'Data' and I screw them completely. I used the recovery DVDs to bring the phone to default settings and I discovered the system recover is Windows 7 x 32.

  No idea why the systems are different?

  It's just a minor issue, I guess, the only bad thing is that the x 32 system recognizes not the 4 GB of RAM. I use now only 3 GB of RAM.

  Hi Cabo_Nobbdy,

  I think you should check your user manual and the specificaitions of your laptop first before starting a question. I founded the following information:
  + Operating system: Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD) +.

  This means that the recovery for Windows 7 64-bit disk, you need to create by * you *!
  The DVD that came with your laptop recovery contains only 32-bit Windows 7, and normally, you can create the recovery disk using the Toshiba recovery disc creator. I put t understand why you didn't do it because after the first start, you get this message:
  + Important INFORMATION +.

  + your system is equipped with a hard drive recovery system. If you need repair.
  + your computer in the restaurant to original factory State, you can do it directly.
  + HDD (press F8 when you start your computer, choose "Repair your computer" +)
  + and follow the instructions in the menu) or create a media drive bootable recovery to that end. +.

  + Toshiba recommends you create recovery disk medium uses the "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator' to ensure the +.
  + Hat you are able to restore your computer to the State of origin, installed at the factory, even if your computer +.

  But now it s too late for that and you have to order a new Toshiba recovery disc yourself:

• Satellite L505 - it come with disc of Windows 7 64 bit or 32 bit?

  I had a computer Satellite L505 with * preinstalled * version Windows 7 64-bit and a 32-bit product recovery disc. I didn't create a backup of a 64-bit version and reinstalled the system since the provided 32-bit recovery disc erase my HD. However, I would like to reinstall the verision of 64-bit Windows 7. I know I can order a backup media on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/ but it says not version (64-bit or 32-bit) wich are mailed directly to me.

  If I check the description of the model on the Toshiba page, it says that it comes with the 64-bit version and includes the 32-bit recovery disc. This description still leaves me a question what backup media I'd get Toshiba. I have to be sure that I get the 64-bit WIndows 7 until I have order a.

  I'd appreciate a confimation. Thank you!

  Hey Buddy,

  I think everything is ok and there is no open question. The description on the Toshiba site says it all: the laptop comes with the 64-bit Windows 7 version, which means that this version is preinstalled on your computer. Additional, you get a version 32-bit on a recovery disc and that s all!

  So you didn't burn the 64-bit recovery disc, which means you must order a new one from Toshiba. I guess you will get versions then 32-bit and 64-bit.

• Re: Satellite L505 - 13 X - update BIOS for Linux

  Hello

  I see that there is an update of the BIOS for my Satellite L505-13 X. However, it is a .exe and he would go on the wine? Is it necessary to update? I have a serious overheating problem. #

  An update would I read on some forums?

  Hi pieredel,

  Probably this update will run on wine, but all BIOS updates are tested only on Windows because Toshiba doesn't support Linux. In my opinion it s too risky to do on wine and, therefore, you must install Windows.

  In general the BIOS updates are unnecessary if everything is ok, because this update is a bit risky. So, don t do this update just for fun.

  Do you have the same problems of overheating in Windows? If not it s a question of bases Linux and the BIOS will not help you

• Satellite L505: recovery would erase all my partitions?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L505, using Windows 7 Home Premium. I created a "recovery disc" using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator, saved to a USB key.

  My hard drive is divided into 2 partitions (using disk management, in computer management), a major, c contains the operating system and all of my installed software and secondary, D:, all my data.

  I would like to reinstall Windows 7 using the USB recovery, but my question is: which clears the main partition, c only, or it will delete everything in D: so?

  Thank you very much!

  > will erase the main partition, c only, or it will delete everything in D: so?

  The Toshiba Recovery disk would format the whole HARD drive and would also be possible to erase all partitions that are created on the HARD drive
  Therefore, you must back up the data on an external (USB HDD, drive, USB flash memory, etc.) before you run the recovery procedure

• Satellite L505 Windows 7 startup error screen

  I had a problem on my Satellite L505 a few weeks ago and it keeps occurring during each startup.
  Windows starts as usual, but instead of loading blue screen, where you can choose username and password to type I get only a black screen with nothing on it.

  I can't see anything, except for the mouse pointer, which works btw.
  When I press ENTER and type my password to Windows load my desktop and everything works well.
  This problem occurs when you start upward only, once I am connected and I want to switch users there is no this problem.

  I get a blue screen with stupid windows 7 graphics and images of all accounts, so there is no problem choose a user.
  Have you seen such a problem? Or is there someone who knows how to fix this?

  Thank you for your response.

  > When I hit ENTER and type my password Windows load my desktop and everything works fine.
  What password do you mean? Maybe you have defined a passoword BIOS?
  The laptop would not boot until the BIOS password has been set and then the operating system should start.

• Satellite L505 and Win10 - Wirelss without Flash Cards

  Is it possible to turn on wireless on a Satellite L505 without the flashcard utility?
  I have upgraded to Windows 10 and flashcards will install/not not work. Strangely, if I go into the bios and disable without wire, then restart and turn it on, it works. But after a reboot, wireless is gone and I have to go through the bios change to get it working again.

  What I would give to have the hardware switch to it.

  Stupid question maybe now but don't you have this problem if you use the sleep or hibernation mode?
  I mean if this work turn off your laptop, but you can often use in hibernation mode.

  Features like toggle WIFI are controlled by additional software and your old machine will probably not supported for Win10 so I think that you will not be able to solve this problem.

• Output VGA jumps between external monitor and Satellite L505

  I have a Satellite L505-144 related to an external VGA monitor via a KVM Aten 2-way switch.

  Intermittently on the screen of the external monitor black background, the image will transfer to the screen of the laptop for a second before returning to the external display. This does not seem to be triggered by any particular measure of keyboard or mouse and doesn't seem to be time bound.

  The keyboard and mouse connected to the KVM seem unaffected. I have the latest video bios motherboard and all the latest drivers Toshiba comes out loaded.
  To test the KVM I connected a Toshiba NB200 L505, stops problem instead, replace the L505, it comes back.

  The question is not performed by the presence of a second PC connected to the KVM. I have tried with a second PC on and outside, connected and unconnected, is still no change in the problem.

  I spent the autour KVM cables and the problem persists and follows the L505. If I connect the L505 directly to monitor the problem disappears!
  I find its a problem between the KVM and the L505.

  Is there a known fix or get around it?
  Is there a guarantee if I get a Belkin KVM say this question with the L505 will not happen with this material as well?

  At first, I have to say that I n t believes that Toshiba offers fix for this. Toshiba doesn't support the use of third-party products part so if there are a few possible correction or bypass ATEN ought to know this.

  Connect any external devices you use directly on your Satellite L505, try features and let us know f you have a problem similar or any other.
