• Satellite L650 - 15G - HARD drive starts after 10 to 15 seconds

  Hi my dear,
  Please can someone help,

  I have my Satellite L650 - 15G, I bought 10/01/2010. I have a problem that occurs only with the battery, when I press the power button, I hear the fan starting, lamp wireless, then the lamp light power but not the lamp of HDD, 2 to 3 seconds the laptop closed. If I pressed the power button / stop again after that or I pressed again while the light from the lamp of the hard drive and it will start normally. This never happen when I connect the charger with the battery or when I use it with the adapter only.

  I changed the battery of the Toshiba, but no way. I changed the power management, made adjustments in power management bios (version 1.8 after I updated), disable, enable certain features in Device Manager but no way.

  The more strange that many times it starts normal and other times it does so. Also, this may manifest itself sometimes in long boot times, which means that I sometimes hear fan, see wirless, power lights up and after 10-15 seconds, the hard drive turns on and starts.

  I went to the warranty Center Toshiba in Cairo and they checed on Tester then nothing said abnorml with processor, hard, Rams

  Hello

  And that said the guys from the Toshiba warranty Center that could be? Is it a hardware problem or not?

  To be honest it is really hard to say something about it, but at the moment for me, it looks like a HARD drive or motherboard problem.

  Did you also load default settings in the BIOS after update?

• Satellite L650 - 15G - upgrade to Windows 7 Professional or ultimate edition

  Hello

  I have L650 - 15G with pre installed W7HP.
  I want to improve this, Pro or ultimate.
  As I come from UNITED Arab Emirates, Windows any time upgrade is not possible. Is there another way to upgrade?

  Also the Toshiba provides no upgrade option?
  The upgrade is also very expensive * 120 pounds *.

  Is there a cheaper option?

  Hi dude

  See this Microsoft page:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/UK/Windows/default.aspx
  Here you can find details on the upgrade to Windows 7.

  > Also Toshiba provides no upgrade option?
  To my knowledge, it was possible to upgrade Vista to Win 7 operating system and these updates were provided by Toshiba in the past, but is no longer available again

  So, in my opinion, you can use the update opportunities provided by Microsoft.

• C55-A-19N satellite: 4 GB of RAM installed but only 2.39 is usable

  Hello

  I have Toshiba satellite A-C55-19N with Windows 7 32 bit. It has 4 GB of memory installed, but only 2.39 is usable.

  BIOS is the latest.
  I can't find the option to change anywhere in the system.

  My desktop with core i5 - 2500K can see 3.29 GB to 4 GB of RAM, why toshiba can not see?

  32-bit systems (no matter if its Win 7) Win XP, Vista etc.) supports only 3.2 GB of RAM
  It is the 32-bit boundary.

  The other small part (300 MB roundabout) is shared by the graphics card.
  Therefore, the system displays only 2.39 GB RAM

  Hmmm... Also, I use the paragon 10 Server to create partitions. But why are you trying to create a startup disk? Install the server paragon 10 on your computer, and then make the best partition size.

• Re: Satellite L650 - 15G - controller PCI required network driver

  Hello

  Sometimes I reinstall windows 7 as my hard drive internal has been corrupted. If I want to install the drivers manually. I use the Satellite L650-15 G and Windows 7 64 bit operating system.

  While checking the Device Manager, I see an error displayed as missing for the device PCI simple communications controller driver. What should I do?

  Guide me please to find a solution. Also, I installed driver detective and it showed many drivers need to be updated a few missing and like that.

  Can I trust a third-party application?
  Please help me...

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop computer came with preinstalled Win7 64 bit, so you must use the recovery for the installation of the OS image, but I assume that you didn't create drive recovery, right?

  I put t know which device, it can be, but you can try to identify this unknown device, following the tips outlined on http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=78
  Thank you for posting the result and we can help you find the right driver.

  As a general rule you don t need some third party software part. All you need to do is install utilities, tools, and Toshiba drivers available al. Important is to install according to the order of the proper installation. If you need assistance you are welcome.

  You n t need some updates to the driver. All you need to install at the end are updated Windows but important updates only.

• memory 8 GB installed but usable only 3.48

  I have HP g7-1355dx notebook with Windows 7 64-bit operating system. I've increased the RAM to 4 GB to 8 GB.   The system says I have 8 GB memory installed but only 3.48 GB usable.  I am absolutely sure that I have 64-bit operating system and run msconfig and checked and unchecked the zone memory maximum.  I did a little research on google and did not understand what to do.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Wade

  Thanks for the quick response.  After I posted my question I decided to spend the original 4 GB with the new 4 GB.  I don't know why, but everything is fine now.  Still, the system recognizes installed 8 GB but now 7,48 GB usable.   In retrospect I wished that I had tried this before you spend 10 + hours of research on the problem without success... even if making the switch seemed counterintuitive.  Hope this helps someone else.

• New on Satellite Pro 6100 WLAN card installed, but can not be activated

  Hi, just replaced the internal Wireless LAN card on my laptop Satellite Pro 6100. Map of yesterday and today have the same problem: I can't turn them on. They are installed properly and supposed to run in what concerns the XP drivers, but does not detect wireless network andy saying it is "disabled".

  I tried upgrading to the latest version of BIOS
  I reinstalled the latest drivers
  Toshiba network device switch sees only the Intel Pro/100 VE wired, network card, but not the card the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG.
  Direct activation of the Wireles does not produce a said connection disable, enable, trying to connect, but it fails, as if he did not see the network.

  Past and present, wireless card fail to see any network.

  Martin

  Hello Martin

  This model of laptop is quite old and at that time 2200 card was not on the market. I can imagine that there is a compatibility issue.

  I think for older models of laptops, the best solution is the use of a faster but external solution in the form of PCMCIA or USB WLAN card. With the help of these cards you will not have compatibility issues.
  What do you think of this?

• Satellite L650 - 10 d - cannot install a graphics driver

  Hello

  I just spend most of the day trying to get this laptop to use the appropriate resolution. History:
  The HARD drive failed and I had to get a new one. I downloaded Windows 7 Home Premium and everything installed from scratch on a new HARD drive. The serial number on the back of the machine worked fine with windows (thankfully).

  After downloading a large number of drivers from the Web from Toshiba site, I was working all except the display. Currently uses windows: "Standard VGA graphics driver" who can't go furher then 1024 x 768, very annoying.

  Steps, I tried:
  (1) I downloaded "tc70077100m" AMD driver on the site.
  Installation of the graphics card ATI Catalyst went thru, but the drivers have not been changed.

  (2) double click on "tinstall" or "tinstallwb" in the directories of unzipped driver resolves to briefly see the icon on the taskbar after which leaves the installer, nothing else, no error. Very professional...

  (3) I tried to update the driver manually by using the pointing device manager directly to the package file. First I started warning that the driver is not compatible, but I forced to continue. I took "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650". Installation could not say that my version of Windows is not compatible.

  (4) I also tried to download the drivers from the ATI site, which failed whenever my software/hardware is not compatible.

  (5) I also tried to download the drivers for the other notebook L650 (Intel ones) has no incompatibility.

  Please advice how can you install graphic driver on this device. I'm not after the games, I would just get a reasonable resolution.

  Concerning

  Hi kotatko,.

  Your laptop is equipped with ATI graphics so as Intel, other display drivers will not work. You need to install the official page of Toshiba display driver:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  With the display driver installation before you begin that * chipset driver * is installed. The chipset driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba page too.

  Can I ask you why you n t use the Toshiba Recovery with all the drivers and tools disk which is more comfortable?

• Satellite L750 - WLAN Driver seems installed BUT does not actually

  I formatted my laptop 'Satellite L750"which, like"Realtek RTL8188CE' wireless network.

  BUT wireless serach finds no access point. When I look at ' ipconfig/all' into the command screen this adapter is not seen in the list?

  I turned on and off the map of the software several times. I disabled and enabled driver several times. I tried to download the driver of this same card 'Realtek' Web site but nothing has changed?

• 4 GB of ram installed, but usable only 2.43 GB

  Hello.

  Recently, I upgraded my new laptop (thinkpad L512: 2 GB of ram, originally) with a new 2 GB ram.

  I was expecting to the usable memory must be at least 3 GB, but it appeared that only 2.43 GB is used.

  I don't know why this is happening.

  I checked the BIOS and changed the memory location two, but he showed that only 2.43 GB is used.

  Memory: 2 GB PC3 - 10600 DDR3 1333 MHz SODIMM Memory (1 DIMM) SDRAM - 2 c.

  What's wrong?

  Intel graphics card have no memory dedicated, but uses some of the computer's system memory. The amount of memory used for the graphics might be an amount fixed or may vary up to a maximum amount. It depends on if the computer manufacturer has configured the computer to use a fixed amount, a dynamic amount (ranging up to a maximum amount) or a combination of fixed and dynamic graphics memory amounts.

  The amount of memory usable did you have before the upgrade to 4 GB?

  What version of Windows are you using? It is 32-bit or 64-bit?

  What is the model number of your computer (for example: 4029-3EG)?

• Satellite A30-203 Audio Drivers installed but blue screen at startup

  The Audio worked on my computer, then I cleaned my computer and installed everything again with the toshiba recovery disc and then I had no sound.

  I then installed the Ac97 Drivers and whenever I click on stop, that a blue screen appears then
  If I turn on my computer and the connection it shutsdown.
  The only way I can get on my laptop is by switching safe, then in Device Manager and by disabling realteck ac97
  my computer will work perfectly until I have activate the Ac97 in the device mamanger or reinstall it.

  Basically to keep things simple when the Realteck driver ac97 is installed or / and when it is not extinguished my laptop usually start past the login screen.

  Anyone has a solution please help me.

  Hello

  Usually, when you use the restore for the installation of the OS CD everything should work correctly on condition that all hardware components are not defective. After the installation of recovery, it is not necessary to install anything.

  Please just check the status of audio device in Device Manager, call the sound settings and the volume control on the left side for laptop. Ensure that the sound is not set to mute.

  If possible please give us more information on all that after the installation of recovery.

• Satellite L650-S5096 - error when installing recovery

  My brother ordered me this laptop online from Best Buy for my Christmas present in Dec.2010. After I opened and he started upward, I did then the system backup disc as it was told to do. I showed that I needed to 4 discs for back to the top after the fourth disc, he said that it was over. OK, so now I know that I've saved it in addition to the recovery partition also.

  So, last month, I wanted to do a restore of the system on this laptop. So I pulled out the 4 disks and put in the first and he did his thing and then asked for the 2nd and so on. Then after the fourth was done he said to put in the next disc, but I don't have a fifth backup drive. He had me only use 4 when I got it to save.

  And then abandoned on the problem of disk and restarted and I got to the recovery partition. So after that I started the process by clicking ok for all the warnings about everything will be deleated I arrived at the first installation process, then after five minutes, he went to the next process where it says "Copy files" and after 30 seconds or so, a box appears asking to insert the next disc.

  So I called Toshiba and talked about using technology, and they told me to unplug everything on the laptop and then turn it over and remove the battery for a minute. And then reconnect the power cord and then put the battery in and turn on the computer.
  So after she started upward he went to the BIG WARNING page on everything will be lost and deleated so I cliked next and next through the next coupld of no, then it poped an error message that says (error: F3-F200-0002).

  After repeating the process a few times the same thing continues to be. So when I talked to Jasmine on 11/06/2011 from technical support, she told me I can call Monday 13 and ask for the case manager and that she would approve that they send me a recovery disk free presence that is the disk does not copy at the moment where I followed it there Backup Wizard and he recovery partition is messed up. So I called the case manager today, and Doug told me that I have to pay to get the recovery disk.

  In my view, it's very bad customer service and I will never buy another thing from Toshiba again. And I will make all my colleagues and friends know that I went thru with this laptop...

  Hello

  I always was pleased the service in my country.
  However, I think you had some bad luck with the recovery procedure
  In my case, I was able to create the successfully recovery disk and everything was ok I ve also recovered the laptop once using the recovery of HARD drive and it worked too

  However, new recovery disc can be ordered here: http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
  It s not expensive: 30 Euros

• Satellite L650-16w - cannot run game using the old GPU driver

  first of all I had to say that my English is not very good, so if there is a German support it would be easier for me to write with German support.

  2 weeks ago, I bought a new toshiba Satellite L650-16w.
  After installing my favorite game, I'm trying to start this game, but I can't because of this error message: "3DGM gm_OpenGLError, param err error:"not enough memory"", last error win32 #8 "»

  After that, I tried the latest driver and installed the driver version 8.723.2 on the home page of toshiba, the amd driver does not work, but the error is still there.
  I tried many things but I wasn't able to run this game on my computer.
  I'm sure it's a problem with the driver because when I uninstalled the drivers launched the game! (there was only the installed windows vga drivers).
  Unfortunately, I had a low fps rate of relay with windows drivers, so I was unable to play this game without the pilots.

  I hope someone can help me to launch this game and there is no solution to run this game on my pc.

  My oem is windows 7 64 bit, and Yes this game still works on win 7 64 bit because I got to play this game on an another win 7 64 bit system.

  Hello

  Usually, you should always use Toshiba driver because drivers are supported for GPU overheating protection.
  If you want to use other drivers, then you can do this at your own risk.

  I googled a bit and found two pages that provide updated ATI drivers the:
  www.OmegaDrivers.net/
  www.laptopvideo2go.com/

  Perhaps one of the pilots of the mentioned pages would you play this game for sure.

• Re: Satellite U400 - 15G - can I put there Core2Duo processor?

  Hello

  IAM Benji Germany and ive got a question about my new satellite U400 - 15G.

  Installed is a DualCore T3200, now ive fugured that the laptop works on a G45 Express Chipset
  that supports much better Core2Duo processors with less energy.

  But I don't know exactly, that Port Cpu ive Got, and what my laptop maximum FSB...
  800 / 1066, this is what I find on the G45 chipset in the interhnet... but its quite better to ask here
  Autour, before buying a new processor, which does not work ;)

  First a general information;
  I read here in the forum that upgrading the CPU is not supported by Toshiba
  This means that even though you will be able to upgrade the processor, no one will be able to tell if your laptop would be stable or not also the BIOS is not designed for other processors, and there is a high risk that there could be a compatibility issue.

  Regarding the chip set:
  Luke is right. The laptop was equipped with the Pentium Dual Core T3200 (2.00 GHZ) 667 MHZ CPU and Chipset Mobile Intel GL40 Express

  Here is the page: Intel Mobile Core 2 Duo CPU
  http://Ark.Intel.com/ProductCollection.aspx?FamilyId=26548
  and here you CPU:
  http://Ark.Intel.com/CPU.aspx?GroupID=29760

  Here the details on Chipset Mobile Intel GL40 Express
  http://www.Intel.com/products/Notebook/chipsets/GL40/GL40-overview.htm

  PS: I put t understand why a CPU upgrade is so important for you. to be honest, you won't see any strong performance increases after upgrade CPU and in my opinion, the risks are too high, that the laptop would not stable
