• Satellite L755 - how to return to Windows 7 using the HDD Recovery folder

  Hello
  are how you today

  I own a toshiba Satellite L755.
  I have recently upgraded to windows 7 to windows 8, and now I do not have windows 8. I want to go back to windows 7.

  Many people say that it is possible using the HDD Recovery folder that I have on my D drive and it s 13.5 GB.

  What I need is to know if its possible and if you can you explain to me how its done.

  I searched the Web for an answer for tha last 4 hours and I thank you

  > Many people say that it is possible using the HDD Recovery folder that I have on my D drive and it s 13.5 GB

  A lot of people said you can use HARD drive recovery in order to put the system back to factory settings.
  This true s but this is possible ONLY if the system has not been modified.

  In case you have changed the system, you could go back to the factory settings using the recovery disk!
  Recovery disk may be created using the preinstalled tool called Toshiba Recovery Media Creator.

  Have you created this disc in the past!

• Satellite L755 after error - BIOS update service is not a warranty case

  The problem began when Toshiba Tempro program notified me that I need to update bios for my laptop Satellite 755. I have downloaded the file to the Toshiba site, followed all the instructions. The process - there was error check. Tried twice. The same result. Decided to not update at all.

  But after that the next reboot of the laptop has not started. Black screen, cooler works like breathing.
  After searching the Internet I found there are hundreds of people with the same question. Which of course was not my fault.

  As there is no solution for this - the only way was to send the Toshiba laptop service.
  I wrote them a letter before, provided all the details, what happened. Also asked if it would be covered by the warranty. My laptop is still on warranty, purchased just half a year ago.
  Received an email from to SAV (Damax AG), I have to send my laptop and that * it's still on warranty *.

  Without any hesitation I sent them my laptop.

  After several days, I received a note that:
  1. it is not a case of warranty I was updating the BIOS. Come on guys, I wrote it you before I sent the laptop!
  2. for the repair of motherboard, I need to pay 1350 (!) swiss francs (the price for the new laptop is about 600 Swiss francs!).
  3. I can refuse the repair, but in this case, I still have to pay 100 Swiss francs for diagnostics.
  Why the hell should I pay for the diagnosis, even if the laptop is still on warranty + it was pretty clear what the problem was, like many people in the face of that, and Toshiba service for sure shoud be aware of this problem.

  What could advise you in this situation?
  These are the sons of the same question. I'm sure this is the problem on the side of development of Toshiba.

  Also, there are many cases that people have written that it is covered by the guarantee - which was one of the reasons that I sent him. For example here:
  http://www.theeldergeek.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=45500
  The guy writes: + "guarantee-box...". 0, no data not deleted, everything goes well =) ' + '.
  How even a service covers it - the other is not?

  Also, I read the guarantee agreement - I have found no info that this case is not coverable.
  Really frustrated by all this, I am a student, and of course I don't have extra 1350 francs to pay for it.
  Also, I'm really screwed as it has research papers which I can not finish normally like all my data on the HARD drive.

  Hello

  Please don t get me wrong, but I don't really know what you want to read here. It is user in the forum and here you will not find an official statement here. All you can do here is to share your experience with others who have the same problem.

  I put t know how many services are listed for your country, but please try to communicate with other services and see if they will tell you the same thing or maybe there's something now about this BIOS problem.

  If you have more information, please report it here. It may be useful for other owners of L755.

  My Toshiba L50-A-103 has two graphics cards, an Intel(r) HD Graphics 4000 and Nvidia GeForce GT M 740.

  In my workplace, I use an external SyncMaster 2032BW monitor with a resolution of 1680 x 1080.

  Now detects only Intel processors with up to 1366 x 768.
  Is there a solution to this problem?

  Hello

  Update you all Win 8.1 drivers and utilities that have been released for this model on the page of the Toshiba UE driver?

  After the update of the system Win 8.1 you must update the drivers in the correct order.
  The installation instruction is also available on the Toshiba driver page!

• Satellite L670 - after Win 8 upgrade WIFI does not work properly

  Afteer upgrade to Win 8, the WiFi of my Satellite L670-128 has stopped working properly.

  The connection only works some time, usually only a few seconds before the connection is lost.
  After a few seconds or minutes the connection is restored, just soon to be lost again.

  Cannot download large files or even to see larger photos on normal web pages. Is there any Win8 driver for Broadcom coming 802.11n network card, or should I throw one 2.5 year old computer in the trash?

  Buy a usb-wlan card is not an option, as wireless mice is already "permanently" reserving one of the three usb ports and wlan card it would be just to the left...

  To my knowledge this L670 series isn t Win 8 taken in charge and this means that there is no special Win 8 drivers for this device, so I put t think you will find an another Win 8 driver for this WLan card.

  But do you really want to throw this laptop in the trash just because the wifi does not work properly running Win 8?
  The device was working properly under Win 7?

  I would recommend running a few Wlan test.
  For example; Disable wireless encryption on your router and Wifi connectivity with the open network do that just for testing purposes, perhaps you will need to change the type of encryption to test.

  This laptop has a NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 640 M graphics card and this allows to say that about my dxdiag.
  Since the update to windows 8.1 my laptop seems to think that I have an Intel HD Graphics 4000 and apparently it's expired.

  When I go to their website to test the update.
  I thought that my graphics card is "up-to-date", but everything else - including my driver toshiba manager says it's expired.

  I tried to update but I get a message saying my system setting are not good enough.

  Anyne have any suggestions on what I can do.
  Can I get my laptop to stop thinking that there a graphics card intel when it has the NVIDEA chip

  > defterniko

  After upgrade Windows 8.1 you should visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver and should update drivers and utilities to version 8.1 of Windows.

  Most people forget to do that they update the system of Windows 8 to 8.1 win but don't update the drivers.

  As mentioned by user IronMan; the installation instructions located on the page of the Toshiba UE driver you shows the pilot and the tool that needs to be updated and you must also follow the order of installation referred to in this directive.

• Satellite L50-A-111: dimming does not work properly after Win 8.1 upgrade

  Hello

  I have a problem with my laptop computer truebright LED monitor.
  Brightness works correctly, but the brightness variation is not.

  I should be able to choose from a range of 0 to 100% in both, but in gradation brightness that I can not only get up to 10% even though it says its 100%
  because when I level down it says 8,6,5,3,1 level and 0 when I get home eco and when I max he says 10% for 1 second, then 100%.

  Oh and something important, change the brightness variation has no effect at all, I think it's just stuck at 10%.

  But I know clearly that it is 10%.
  I tried everything so far, restore archive and the registry.
  It wasn't even until I restored the registry. I also tried advanced options that once solved this problem for me, tried everything, expect to reinstall the operating system.

  I installed windows 8.1 Windows store recently I don't know if its related.
  All my drivers are up to date.
  Happened yesterday after Batman Arkham City GOTY installing and disabling the Anti Virus, Firewall, etc...

  I don't know what else to try, im really frustrated, I can't handle this without the gradation of light at its maximum. My only concern is to reinstall the operating system did not solve my problems.

  Please give me some info on how to solve this problem, I'll try the registry if someone can help out me.
  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused.

  You said that you have upgraded to Win 8.1
  After these updates, you must update all the Toshiba drivers as mentioned on the 8.1 win Toshiba upgrade page.
  On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the installation instructions that will show you how to install / update all drivers.

  This is very important!

• Satellite P870 - problems with WiFi after Win 8.1 upgrade

  Wireless Internet is hopeless.
  Maybe that 3 to 10 pages will load correctly or not at all, for most not at all.
  Other wireless devices in the House are fine, as is the use of the Ethernet.

  Checked the drivers through the Device Manager, says that they are up to date.
  However using the toshiba service station he lists 12 updates including one for the driver Realtek wireless.

  The date of release permanently after the last version installed.
  Try to update by the service center to complete and then comes up with an error message, something like the process is completed by the user.

  Of course I never finished anything.
  Any ideas/thoughts? Just uninstall 8.1?
  Although I'd rather not.

  Hello

• Satellite P755 - 11G: Win 7 64 bit - cannot activate BT after replacement of the module

  Hello

  On my laptop Satellite P755, I had to replace the Wifi/Bluetooth PCI Express Mini card because the original Atheros was broken and was no longer working.

  So I decided to buy a new Intel® Wireless-Dualband-AC 7260 card to replace.
  Has successfully replaced by itself.
  WiFi now works again.

  Now, I'm dealing to get BT running. With the old Atheros card I could activate BT by pressing FN + F8 and choose Bluetooth from the menu of flashcard on top of the screen.

  After the replacement of the F8 full option in flash cards had disappeared.
  I managed to solve the problem for the WiFi by adding the ID of the new material of the card Intel (PCI VEN_8086 & DEV_08B1 & SUBSYS_40708086) in the registry in the following locations:

  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\ConfigFree--> InternalDevice176
  Hotkey HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\Wireless--> DevID_SupportRL175
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessAPL\BT WLANDP--> DevID_SupportRL176
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessDevice ID--> DevID_SupportRL176

  Now FN + F8 works very well for the WiFi, flash cards menu appeared again.
  But there is still no option to activate Bluetooth.

  Addition of the BT hardware in the registry (same locations as the WiFI) ID does not help.
  I can't get the point how the flash cards software manages to activate the bluetooth normally.

  Does anyone have an idea what it takes to get the Bluetooth in the menu flash cards?

  My system:
  Toshiba P755 - 11G
  Windows 7 64 bit

  See you soon,.

  Hello

  You said that the original WLan module was to Atheros.
  As far as I know the module Atheros WLan additional needs for the installation of the filter for the Atheros BT driver package in order to use and activate Bluetooth.

  In the case of modules WLan Intel such package of filter is not necessary.

  I guess the Atheros BT filter driver package is always installed on this laptop and I think this might be the reason why the BT can not be activated properly.

  However, I recommend you to uninstall the filter BT mentioned driver package as well as Toshiba BT stack, driver Atheros WLan and the Toshiba value added package, and the Flash Cards Support utility. Clean the system using the CCleaner tool.

  Then install the Intel driver that would control the new Intel WLan card.
  Install the Toshiba BT stack and restart the device. Now follow with the installation of the Toshiba added value package and the Flash Cards Support utility. Reboot once again and check if you can use FN + F8 to activate WiFi and BT

  > hey works but you have to press the FN key,.
  This special function can be changed in the BIOS.
  The point is that you can use the function key by pressing the FN key or without pressing FN - keys
  But it must be enabled in the BIOS.

  Go to + BIOS-> Advanced-> System Configuration.
  You will find the * function special keys mode.*

  Hi everyone, New here so I hope someone can help.

  I recently bought a Satellite L500 with Vista operating system. I've upgraded to Windows 7 with a upgrade Toshiba drive. After the upgrade I could no longer use the FN keys to switch my touchpad back on.
  I had to get a bluetooth mouse to use a pointing device. Can someone help me get the keys FN working again.
  Thanks in advance. Mickbarker57.

  You have problem with FN + F9 only or flash cards do not work?
  Have you tried to check the properties of the mouse and use the enable/disable option here?

• Can no longer make system image after Win 8.1 upgrade (error 0 x 80780119)

  I have recently upgraded to 8.1 and is now trying to make the image of the system.
  Unfortunately, it fails with the 80780119 error.

  [Backup image failed | http://www.sawyourad.com/toshiba/failed.png]

  I had happen before on another computer system and recovery partition resizing seems remedy and is what is suggested on the web.

  However, I can't seem to do it on this machine, diskmgmt.msc does not seem to show any disk space used and worse still, many of the scores seem to be duplicated

  [image of drive partitions | http://www.sawyourad.com/toshiba/diskmgmt.png]

  You will notice that none of the scores of recovery seem to have any space used.

  I am at a loss to know what to do next.
  The 8.1 update made pretty much my dangerous to use machine, because I can not save more.

  I hope I don't have to add Toshiba to my do not buy list.

  Hello

  > I hope I don't have to add Toshiba to my do not buy list.
  Is not a friend of the option. Why? Because it seems that it is a common problem of Windows as a lot of people have called for a solution in the Microsoft forums and community.

  [Backup fails error code 0 x 81000019 | http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windows/en-US/25deba76-464b-4a9d-9b32-a283bb6a88ce/windows-7-rc-backup-fails-errorcode-0x81000019?forum=w7itproperf]

  Someone solved this problem by clearing the check box of the image create driver available when you choose the backup content.

  But it looks like his mistake when hidden system reserved partition created by Windows system does not have enough space to store a cliché.
  Please check the freespace on this volume.

  Follow the following steps:
  1. start-> computer-> right click--> Manage
  2. Select storage-> disk management.
  3. check that you have a partition system reserved about 100 MB in size or more
  4. If so, right-click on the volume and select Properties.
  5 view the used and free space.

  Backup Windows requires around 40 MB of free space on that partition to save successfully.
  So if the free space is less than 40 GB, backup is not getting enough free space.
  To work around the problem, try the following:

  Since reserved by default system partition cannot be extended, creating a new system volume is the workaround. Here are the steps to move the system volume to any other volume:

  1. choose where you want to have your system volume.
  A few things you should keep in mind:
  a. system volume cannot be created on a primary partition to MBR disk.
  b. If the volume system & boot volume are assembled, then BitLocker feature can be used to encrypt the volumes on your machine.

  2 propose the creation of a new volume (say f) on the same disk that contains the size of about 490 MB boot partition (make sure to keep less than 500 MB).

  3. assuming that Windows is installed on C: on your machine. From an elevated command prompt run: bcdboot.exe C:\Windows /s F:/s.

  4 from high command prompt run: DISKPART

  5. starting at the disk part command prompt:
  DISKPART > select volume F
  DISKPART > active

  Now you can restart your machine and F: becomes the system volume.
  You can cancel it by repeating the same steps using the original system volume (you must assign drive letter) to return to your previous configuration.
