  Hello.

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L550 - 18M and I can't seem to find the drivers for the full use of my touchpad (cannot use the functions of scrolling or zooming).
  I tried to install some synaptics from our official site sugestions and some of a Toshiba Satellite L500D synaptics drivers, but it did not help.

  Please send your suggestions.

  Thank you

  Hi mate

  I put t know what Windows OS, you have, but I assume you are using Win 7 64 bit. Right?

  L550 - 18M belongs to the PSLNEE series.
  It seems that there are not many drivers released for this series.
  But there are drivers for other series Satellite L550 touchpad.

  Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad drivers are released.
  As a download driver choose;
  -Satellite
  -Satellite L series
  -Satellite L550
  -All (short model)
  -All (operating system)
  -Touchpad driver

  Then, you will get all the drivers for the touchpad.

  PS: don't forget the touchpad settings in Control Panel-> mouse-> device settings

• Upgrading RAM on Satellite L550 - 11K

  I have Toshiba Satellite L550 - 11K and I'm on 4 GB of DDR2 - 800 pc2-6400 RAM.
  I want to install my portable 2x4gb ddr3-1066 pc3-8500 ram, is it possible? Or I can use 2 x 4 GB ddr2-800, and how it effects my graphics card once I installed these RAM and my motherboard is Intel gm45.

  Thank you

  In General, you can buy everything you want. This number is for the RAM that is recommended by Toshiba. Recommended modules are tested ad will work for sure.

  You can also buy some piece of cheap hardware, but please don't cry here if your laptop does not start successfully with these Rams. This forum is full of such offers.

  Please note: the Modules of RAM 'Value' use many chips cheap using several banks/channels, which can cause problems of compatibility with some Chipsets/CPUS.

• Re: Satellite L550-13V - webcam number - yellow stars instead of my image

  Hi all

  I have a toshiba Satellite L550 13V and everything works perfectly for a year and a half now.
  Recently, I wanted to use the webcam via Skype and it did not work.

  In fact, it is the webcam itself that can not pinpoint my face.
  When I see in the Device Manager, it says that the webcam works and the driver is up-to-date.
  I don't know what to do?  :|

  What can be the problem?
  I can't take pictures or shoot a film.
  Instead of my face, there are several yellow stars.

  Thanks for any help

  Hello

  I think its easy to solve.
  Launch the webcam software (all programs-> toshiba)
  Then go to effect settings and check if there is an option called the mosquito net
  Disable this.

  This should help

• How to partition the Hardrive on Satellite L550?

  Will set up the new Satellite L550 WINPro and partitioned the HDrive which, on the finish, did not show the "C" drive with the partition I have allocated to it as usable. I called the support & informed the other space I had partitioned was hidden and unusable. Support could not advise me how to re - install 2 partitions can be used out of their allocation of work to do.

  I'm used to Sony Vaio XP where you can partition the disks as much as you want which are all usable. The beauty of having a separate drive to store your documents and other sensitive files on, is that, if you ever get to make a recovery, the partitioned drive assigned to these is not lost.

  You are not sure if Toshibas are capable of it?

  Can someone help with how partition USEFUL disks on this laptop please?

  Thanks in advance.

  To be honest I don t know if Satellite L550 procedure nine collection or old, but I know that new Satellite A660 has it with works by great walls. I'll try to explain it and you check to see if the same thing can be done on your laptop satellite

  -Recovery starts and you will see a WARNING at the beginning
  -on the next step, you can choose factory default software recovery
  -on this next step choose the custom size partition recovery recovery method (on this point, you can choose the size of the C drive, where the operating system must be installed
  -continue and complete the installation of recovery

  When the BONE is completely installed, you will see a partition C only (Windows Explorer). Enter computer management and go to disk management. On the right side, you will see the structure of HARD drive and a large unallocated area (black color). Use this box to create own partition/partition (logical drive).

  All that s.

• Satellite Pro 4600 very unstable and BSOD

  Hello

  I have a Satellite Pro 4600 c750/128 with xp installed.
  It was ok, but slow, so I've updated at 500 MB of memory.

  He now became unstable under windows and throw a screen blue after awhile, which is a related, but firm and we will restart until I have a chance to read the error message.

  I tested the new memory from one day to the next with memtest and run 4 passes all tests without error, about 9 hours of operation (on the back).

  The event log indicates a discharge, but this does not mean a lot to me.
  The event log has an error during startup, what was there before the memory upgrade.
  Googling Sugest a fix to update the bios, it's always available for this laptop bios?

  The BIOS should be available for this former Satellite Pro 4600.
  The BIOS and drivers must be placed on the page of European driver of Toshiba.
  Here, you will need to search the Archives!

  But I doubt that the error is caused by the BIOS.
  Is the laptop ran stable also with the previous BIOS and it foolish to update the BIOS to fix this problem.
  I'm sure it won't change anything!

  Upgrade the RAM and BSOD appears now.
  I think that the problem is related to the RAM, even if the ram test didn't find any errors
  The RAM may be not compatible also if no error has been detected.

  I recommend that you test the laptop without the new RAM and check if the BSOD will appear again.

• Satellite L550 - system slow start

  Hi people!

  Got a new Satellite L550 running Vista 32 - bit, everything seems fine except for a few things on this machine that goes like this:

  1 system restore is one hell of a long process I have ever met so far-time is gasoline and 17 GB of restore disks its really a whopper!
  2. If you have any trouble with the 'text leap' (when entering) so I have. Sound the Alps Touchpad I found must be configured (by disabling the tapping) that's if you can find the tab 'Advanced' in the properties of the mouse
  3. I tweaked my startup programs, but this machine, of course, happens to a slow start. Any help here

  Otherwise a pleasure to have abandoned another manufacturing in favor of elegant, intelligent Toshiba laptop and hopes that its evidence switch!

  Hello

  I had a problem of cursor jump as well, but that was my mistake... I touched the touchpad accidentally during typing...
  I could solve this problem by disabling the touch pad using the FN + F9 key combination.

  PS; You have the latest version of the BIOS? Isn't it? Then update.

• Satellite C50D-A-133 slow and unusable

  We have a C50D satellite, which is now 18 months old... He has since the end of the warranty, seem to be getting more slower and slower when you try to do anything whatsoever, and even more noticeable when you attempt to use Internet through IE... All updates still exist and we are at a loss for what is the problem... Our internet is running at 20megs and other devices are fine... I also used the recovery option, just in case there was a problem, but, even with the factory settings, it's still useless... any advice would be appreciated before there to meet his maker!

  Try a more likely with recognized software spyware scan, it's a software problem

• Satellite Pro M10 suddenly ran very slow and freezes

  Two weeks ago, that my SP M10 is suddenly very slow and freeze. After a reset, it began to check the HARD drive, which lasted about 8 hours, and several repair lost clusters to files. But the student pilot did not run faster. I reformatted the HDD to FAT32 (NTFS has not worked) and reinstalled Windows XP. First, it seemed to work very well, but a few hours later, it freezes again.

  After 10-20 min, I got access. This has not changed so far. CHKDSK another also lasted several hours and again showed some lost clusters. I think that my HARD drive is damaged, but how can I see if there a lot of bad sectors? Can I fix it? Can I possibly replace my 40 GB HARD drive with a larger HARD drive capacity?

  Are there restrictions or can I use any brand?

  Hello

  I had the same problem with my Satellite 1900. The result was the HARD drive damaged (bad sectors). I tried to fix it with different tools, but without success. The best solution is to swap the HARD drive.

  Good bye

• Satellite Pro L500 - wireless connection is very slow and unstable

  Hello

  I bought a Satellite Pro L500 a couple of weeks (Windows 7 and Realtek 8191SE). I have no problem connecting to public networks, but I can't use it at my place, where I have a broadband cable connection.
  The strange thing is that, in the same room, I have no problem with my old A105 Satellite (Windows XP).

  It is also very strange the fact that, even if the signal is good, sometimes excellent, the connection is very slow and unstable (it disconnects when I try to browse the Internet).

  I have already tried:

  -Update the Realtek drivers.
  -Disconnect the firewall;
  -Modification of the properties of the Realtek card.

  Maybe it's a problem with the software or, on the contrary, with the material?

  Thank you!

  Hi Patrick,

  If you can connect to public networks correctly, I think that this problem is related to your router at home. So I would recommend updating the firmware on your router. You can get it on the page of manufactured goods.

  Also try to disable WLAN encryption and MAC address filtering.

  By the way: you can access the Internet at home via a cable connection?

• Adjusting Brightness and contrast on the Satellite L550-113

  I am a user with low vision and I think buy the Satellite L550-113, but before I do that I need to be sure that the adjustable screen brightness/contrast very easily, preferably through the orders of material as opposed to via the control panel. I also need to make sure that we can do (i.e. too dull for a non-disabled user) rather dull screen.

  Could someone give advice on how to adjust the screen contrast and brightness on Toshiba L550-113? In addition, the screen has a glossy or matte finish?

  General information about the quality and ease of use of the screen will be very useful and much appreciated! Thank you.

  Hi mate!

  Yes, the brightness of the screen can easily adjust via the FN keys. You have to press FN + F7 to increase the screen brightness and FN + F6 to decrease the brightness of the screen. In addition, in Vista power management you can also adjust the brightness of the screen and save settings for profiles of different powers and block or power mode.

  AFAIK Satellite L550 has a brightness screen like any other portable satellite.

  I hope I could help a bit! :)

• My Satellite is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session

  Hello

  My satellite phone is really slow and takes about 10 minutes to open a session. It also takes awhile to open up applications in particular the internet. Once the internet is open, it takes a while to access the net. The application actually drags across from the scene and it looks like a curtain closing additional idling.

  Need help.

  Hello

  Have you checked the CPU usage rate?
  Start the Task Manager and check if any strange background process needs the full CPU performance.

  I also recommend to check the laptop for some viruses and malware. These programs could make the laptop and the lazy BONE.

  However the portable equipment could bad work.
  You should check the memory using the Memtest86 program. It s freeware. Check the HARD drive for bad sectors and also try to defragment the HARD drive!

• Satellite U200 getting more slower and slower - 5 minutes to stop

  My U200 becomes slower and slower - 5 minutes to stop! and now it crashes when I try to install the drivers for "Cakewalk Sonar THE"- so I need help.

  I think I need to re - install Windows XP, however, I only got a "recovery disc" with the laptop - which will reformat my hard drive - there no way to reinstall xp without reformatting?

  If I have to reformat-how can I recover my Express Media Player & Norton Protection? -(I bought the laptop in January this year)

  HM, I think that you won´t get around this recovery thing, because I think your system may be heavy software problems.

  Regarding the Media Player and Norton: were they not installed as you bought this machine?

  Welcome them

• Satellite L550 and BT to my headphone connection

  I want to connect a headset bluetooth Philips for my Toshiba Satellite L550 - 13 c. (windows 7 64) What is the best way to do this?, if there is a way. The only thing I could find is one to activate bluetooth that I had to use the FN in combination with F8.

  But still, I am not able to detect or connect the bluetooth headset to my computer.

  Thanks for any advice.

  The question just the beginning for you: are you using the original preinstalled recovery (OS) image that you got with your laptop?

  I just want to know if all the software, including the BT software (battery Toshiba BT) are preinstalled on your computer.
