Satellite M40X - WiFi connection no longer works

Hello

The WiFi on my Satellite M40X has stopped working.
ConfigFree verdict: wireless communication switch: inactive
Diagnosis of Toshiba: Atheros AR5005GSwireless network adapter version 3.1.2.45 is OK.

If the switch is the cause of the problem?
When sliding on 'on', the red LED lights up.

Thanks a lot for your help

Hello

There are display settings important to do to be able to use the Wlan.
First you must activate the Wlan: generally it takes the switch Wlan on POSITION (LED should be bright) and you must activate the Wlan using the Fn + F8 key combination.

Is this possible?

By the way: what system are you using?

  • Satellite L30: WiFi connection does not work with wanadoo box

    I bought a L30 for my daughter for Christmas and wants all ready to go on the day, so have tried to connect to my wanadoo wireless & talk.

    Unfortunately, the laptop wireless card doesn't seem to work. He acknowledges the wanadoo box and tries to connect, but when I enter the WEP key, it searches the network for a few minutes then returns to the "If you want to connect to this network, select 'connect' page."

    I took the adapter wireless to my PC, connected to the laptop, loaded the software wanadoo wireless and connected to the Internet wireless with no problem at all. The problem seems to be with the connection itself - as the laptop detects the wireless network very easily, it just cannot connect.

    I'm not an expert and do not want to 'break' the Christmas gift from my daughter. It is too late to guarantee a replacement arrived, I have to go out & buy a wireless adapter, but deliberately, I bought a laptop with wi - fi, if deeply resent what of not working. I feel so stupid.

    Help, please!

    Hello

    Sometimes it of not possible to connect the wireless network adapter to the router because of the compatibility.
    I have a similar problem with my second notebook at home. The card is compatible with A and B WLan standard but the router support B and G.
    The WLan card is not able to connect to my router.

    However, I think that if the laptop recognizes your wireless LAN, it should be able to connect it. You can try to update the WLan driver and additional test with encryption settings disabled.

    Hello

    Before you begin to uninstall or reinstall some Toshiba firmware, I would like to know what Satellite L550D-xxx you exactly.

    The point is that different L550D models were equipped with a different wireless network cards.
    Not quite sure if your have a Realtek Wlan card. It looks like a Realtek LAN card.

    However, you must first check if the wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager.
    In the Manager of peripheral devices, network cards, you should see LAN and WLan card.
    In the case where the card WLan display correctly (no yellow exclamation) WLan driver installation is not necessary.

    In this case, you should go to the next step: check if you can enable / disable the wireless network adapter using the FN + F8 key combination.
    Where this is not possible, check if other keys FN function.
    Where other keys FN don t work, you must reinstall the software mentioned (Toshiba Value Package added, Flash cards).

    This can be done in the control panel-> programs & features
    After that the two software can be removed, clean the system using CCLeaner.
    Now, you can check the EU Toshiba driver page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp to download the software deleted.
    Installation is easy; Unzip the package and run the installation exe file

    Then you should be able to use the FN + F8
    After that the WiFi network has been successfully activated, go to the network & sharing Center-> manage wireless (left) and click Add to configure the new wireless network

  • C50D-A-133 satellite detect WIFI connection but cannot connect

    Hello world!

    I have a problem with the internet connection from my laptop.
    Earlier this week, I noticed that my internet is very slow.

    Now a few days later I can not connect with my wireless network more.

    My other laptop can still connect with the network, so I think that there is something wrong with the windows drivers 8.1?

    Because I've read some things other people who have had the same problem but I couldn't solve the problem.

    It's a toshiba Satellite C50D-A-133 with qualcomm atheros ar956x as an internet adapter

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    Kind regards
    Hannes Van den Berghe

    {quote} My other laptop can still connect with the network, so I think that there is something wrong with the windows drivers 8.1? {quote}

    According to your post, you were able to connect the laptop to the router WLan.
    In this case, the WiFi connection has been established correctly.

    I put t think there is a problem with the laptop s Wlan connection. Your WLan router is probably some problems and that is why I recommend to reset the router.

    In addition, you could test the LAN connection.
    In case you have a problem with the connection to the local network, the configuration of the router should be checked.

  • Satellite U400 - the webcam no longer works

    Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
    A year ago I bought a laptop
    TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
    with s.o. WinVista 32-bit and webcam built-in chicony etc...
    Last year, everything worked properly, but since a few days, the webcam no longer works.
    Whenever I try to open it, a message from the cam of management software that says "Webcam driver open fail, please reboot or the computer room.

    I tried to do all this: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam...! notebook bios set to day...! useless!
    the strange thing... Although going into Device Manager... the webcam is not there...! But if the launch seems open just then check what caz... Caveat!

    Gan you help me?
    Graziee

    If the cam is not listed in the devices (imaging devices) Manager, this normally means that the hardware is defective. It is possible that there is problem with the cable of the cam. Try to bring back the screen and check if the cam will be recognized again.

  • Satellite A100-649: battery no longer works

    Hello

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite A100-649 in June 2006.
    Now, 3 months later, the battery no longer works.
    Toshiba Powersaver says it's 94% of the power,
    the LED shows that it is loading but it hangs just to 94%.

    Well, I don't care if he could not load 100%, but this is
    What makes me angry:

    If I don't have my power adapter plugged in, it does not work
    more. It does not start up or anything. Nothing works.
    No LEDs + flashing, nothing.

    Now what is that? I mean, this laptop is like 3 months
    and the battery is already broken. A laptop without battery work
    It's like a computer desktop-computer without a monitor or something.

    So, maybe somebody has experiences like that or any ideas what I could do
    (except the assistance of Toshiba or bring it back to the shop where)
    I bought it, that's what I've done - nothing so far, nor in the store
    (or Toshiba).

    Welcome,

    Hello

    It seems that your battery has a malfunction.
    Generally, the warranty covers the battery for about a year. So in your case all repairs and replacement will be free.
    In your case, I recommend to contact Toshiba service partner in your country and explain the guys the situation.
    I m 100% sure they will help you.

    I don't know if service point will have the entire notebook or only the battery broken m.
    But these details you could discuss with the technician.

    Good luck

  • 2.4 ghz wifi band no longer works

    I have a WRT1900ACS and in recent weeks I've noticed that the wifi 2.4 ghz work so no devices can connect to this band at all even after only a restart, but it will start working again after some time has passed, while the 5 ghz range is unafffected and work seemslessly and is very stable. It is a screenshot of the configuration below. In addition, this is my second WRT1900ACS which has the same problem as the one that they replaced

    This problem has happened while I've updated to the latest firmware and linksys is not able to resolve this

    None of those who should be cause a problem with Wifi.

    On the expiration of the warranty, I do not think this is the case, he sells this device on their own website as source open ready.

    Here are a few links on DD - WRT and process upgrade/downgrade. (The link sets out the process for a WRT1900AC but it is the same process for the candidate countries, so make sure that you have the ACS firmware version and not the enough)

    After doing this press FN button several times to see if Flash Cards are still on the top of the screen.
    If you see Flash cards again use the FN + F9 key combination to activate the touch pad again.

  • Satellite L350 - WIFI connection problems when it is plugged in to recharge.

    I have a problem with my laptop - whenever I have it plug in to recharge after 10 minutes my Wifi connection goes down, it can detect my wifi network but cannot connect. However when my laptop not charging it remains connected until the battery goes down. I can not think of all the solutions and can't find answers on the internet. I am sure that this isn't my wifi network that is the problem as I have said, it connects and remains connected to each time when no charging current.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS? The two you can find on the Toshiba site:

    What OS you have and do you run the factory settings or you have installed your own Windows?

  • Satellite M30 - two keys no longer work

    I have a very frustrating problem with my keyboard M30-106. Two of the keys no longer work IE, the Enter key and the button 'to '. I lifted the Board to see if it needs cleaning, but apparently not. Can someone tell me what I need to do to fix this problem?

    Hello

    If these two buttons are certainly defective there is nothing to see. As you know the essential mechanism is very small and very delicate. As much as I know it's not possible to order the buttons separately, but in my opinion, you should contact the Service of your country partner and explain the problem. Maybe they have a solution outside keyboard replacement.

    Good bye

  • Internet connection no longer works unless I have disconnect and reconnect the wifi regularly

    I find that after a time random, maybe twenty minutes a half an hour or so, my internet connection breaks down and it can only be fixed by disconnecting and reconnecting to my wifi network.

    It is a problem on my iMac of retina 2014 running El Capitan and 2011 MacBook Air my wife running Mountain Lion (but not on my MacBook Air of 2011 which takes place in Yosemite).

    It does not seem to be triggered by almost anything, but it's maddening to have to do all the time. It's a router NetGear btw, less than a year.

    If anyone has a solution I'd love to hear it!

    Greetings, peederjigson!

  • L850-1 satellite? -WiFi mouse does not work

    Hello..

    first its my first time that I'm questioning my pc and I don't know English very well so I maybe errors... also I'm not an expert in pc so if you try to help me to be so simple that you can please... and I will start the story

    I got a L850-1 Satellite? and I got a wireless laptop mouse... I got the laptop 1.5 year with the same mouse and I had no problem...

    yesterday the mouse stop working... I thought that maybe his execution of the batteries but this isn't the problem, I check on the internet and saw that maybe it's a problem of the mouse itself or my usb ports have the problem... so I try to find the problem...

    I take another one wireless mouse and try it on my laptop... no response with this mouse either... so I'm sure my ports are see the problem... I go to the Device Manager and check it and it say that my usb ports are working fine...

    so I try a wired logitech mouse I had... It was the same thing no response... but the Device Manager said that the ports were ok, so I thought lets try these mice for laptop of my father... I tried and no problem...

    so I'm positive it's his someong wrong with my usb ports... but I try a usb flash and pleasure was that the usb worked fine...

    so we say the SCART Manager a hand usb ports are working well and my usb flash proves that but the other 2 wireless and a wired mouse that working in other pc can't work in my usb ports

    you have all the tracks to my problem?

    Hello

    Try this workaround:
    Unplug all external USB devices.
    Then go to Device Manager and remove all controllers and USB hubs to the list.
    Reboot the laptop.

    Once the system has recognized the USB ports, connect the USB WiFi mouse and check how it works.

    Note: turn off the WiFi and BT in your notebook to ensure no interference between the wireless network and mouse WiFi card
