Satellite M70-181: the wifi does not work

Hello

I'm in New Zealand at the moment and a fortnight ago, I changed my bios password but forgot it. To solve this problem I send the laptop to Toshiba in Christchurch and they reset for me. But since that day my wireless does not work. When I turn it on not even the light. Is not in one of the normal places (like in the network environment or how ever you call it).
Would it be a problem with the hardware, and it is easy to fix by cause me I didn't have the waiting time until they do it again in Christchurch.

Thanks for all the answers

They could have damaged antenna card wifi inside your computer. If you have technical skills, you can fix it yourself, but if you don't just send the laptop back and let check them again.

    Hello

    Check with the system manufacturer or the actual WiFi device manufacturer and ask in their forums (if any)
    for problems known.

    Actually, try updating your driver:

    Control Panel - network - write down of the brand and the model of the Wifi - double click top - tab of the driver - write
    version - click the driver update (cannot do something that MS is far behind the pilots of certification). Then
    Right click on the Wifi device and UNINSTALL - Reboot - it will refresh the driver stack.

    Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

    You can download several at once however restart after the installation of each of them.

    After watching the system manufacturer, you can check the manufacturer of the device an even newer version. (The

    Repeat for network (NIC) card and is a good time to get the other updated drivers as Vista like

    I would also turn off auto update for the drivers. If the updates Windows suggests a just HIDE as they
    are almost always old, and you can search drivers manually as needed.

  • Satellite P850-30W - the fan does not work after returning from the mode "Eve"

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P850 30W with bios 1.90.

    Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    What happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    Normally the fan starts to run when the CPU gets more than 50 degrees celsius and stops less than 50 celisus...

    I tried running Prime95 when this fan-this occurs and the time of the computer got dangerously high (near 100 degrees)! the fan did not start at all
    .. .This error could damage the laptop potentinally...
    to get the fan turns once again I have to restart windows

    anyone experienced this?
    I guess that the fix would be to never use standby... or toshiba needs to fix it with an update of the bios.

    > Sometimes the fan does not work at all after back mode standby on windows 7.
    > What has happened twice (perhaps several times without knowing me), and Ive had the computers for a month.

    You said it's happened twice and only sometimes done this means that above all the fans are working well?
    In this case, this would mean that it of difficult to reproduce this problem, but you might be right: maybe a BIOS update would help solve this problem permanently

    I found some discussions on the stand-by mode and fan activity and in most cases, the update of the BIOS was the key.

  • Satellite A300D-126 the keyboard does not work

    I reinstalled the driver but it still does not. What could be the problem? Help please. Thank you

    Hello

    What s wrong exactly?
    You have reinstalled the drivers?
    What drivers do you mean?

    The keyboard driver is part of the Windows operating system and it cannot be reinstalled separately.

    If your keyboard doesn't work properly then either the software doesn't run as it should, or the material (keyboard) is defective.

    You could try reinstalling the operating system using the Toshiba HDD recovery to check whether the problem is related to the software.
    If the keyboard does not work after this procedure, then a hardware problem might be possible.

  • Satellite L305D-S5895 - keys to functions and the wifi does not work with Win XP

    Hello

    first sorry for my English

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with Windows XP, I need a software, but the function keys does not work.
    So I need a driver, but I can't, and wireless internet does not work.

    > Where could it find special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion, there is problem because most threads here are on the European laptop models. then come to question United States. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. do not work together and each of them is responsible for own models and provide support for specific country notebooks models.

    For most models, so here in Europe Toshiba has offered two BIOS. We were already on the delivered Vista laptops. The Toshiba page download available BIOS for Windows XP Home edition. in most cases, it was version 5. XX and this BIOS was designed to support public services and specific tools of Toshiba. For example, all the FN key features was only available with this BIOS WXP.

    So if any of you have laptop model US they would see how the solution with Toshiba U.S. or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite A500-17 x - wifi does not work - not found in Device Manager

    Hi people,

    I need help please.

    My wireless adapter does not work.
    It worked perfectly until I connected to a wired connection in a hotel I was staying in and since then I can not connect to my wireless router.

    I tried restoring the tosystem several times to old dates, but it has not solved the problem. When I restart the computer laptop and go into devices and printers, I thought that the computer needs to be troubleshooted.

    The program runs and try to install the driver for the Wlan but returns with errors. Namely, windows could not load the driver or can verify the digital signature.

    There is also no icon in the network for lan wlan connections only. When I use the radar in connectivity doctor tells me that the WiFi network is disabled but I can't understand how to activate it.

    When I start in safe mode and go to Device Manager I see the wireless network adapter, but when I try to install the driver I leave safe mode and restart. I did and then the WiFi network is displayed in the Device Manager but when I try to load the driver, I thought that the driver is updated and then the adapter disappears from the Device Manager.

    I'm so frustrated at this point and I'm very close to a full erase and start over.

    I also tried to reload and load the default configuration settings in the installation program, but didn't make any difference.

    My laptop is a Satellite A500-17 x with windows 7 64 bit.
    The WiFi network is Realtek RTL8192E Wireless Lan 802.11 PCI - ENIC

    Hello

    Go to BIOS (press F2) and set it to default settings.
    Save the changes and restart the device.
    Then try to reinstall the WLan driver again.

    If that does not help, download the most recent and updated BIOS to BIOS first day.
    Then, restart the device and try reinstalling the Wlan driver.

    Last but not least you could test the WLan feature on laptop running with factory settings current (after using the Toshiba Recovery)

    PS: in order to use the WiFi network you must use the FN + F8 key combination and must turn on the WLan (in front of the laptop) switch to position.

  • Satellite C870-155 - the Touchpad does not work

    I have a Satellite C870 - 155 (PSC8AE) and problems with the touchpad.

    The buttons work, but not the pointer/trackpad.

    The laptop was in need of a replacement hard drive, and I don't have any recovery media. I'm running a new installation of Windows 7 (Home Premium, 64-bit) vanilla.

    I installed all the drivers, that I can find (including the touchpad).

    I tried pressing F5 / Fn + F5, but this does not change anyuthing that I can see.

    I am running the latest version of the BIOS I can find (6.60).

    Any suggestions?

    > Everything seems to work except the pointer.
    I guess that s hardware problem and the touchpad module must be replaced.
    I m straight probably because if the touchpad would be disabled or drivers that would be misunderstood, the touch area AND the touchpad buttons would not work.

    In your case touch ONLY area/pad does not work, but the buttons

    But just to be sure: go into the BIOS (F2)-> Advanced tab-> the system setup
    Here you can check whether the pointing device (touchpad) is enabled.

  • Satellite Pro L100 (PSL15E) - WIFI does not work

    I have just reformatted my laptop, reinsalled all good original disk drivers, wireless LAN worked until I upgraded to SP3 and now it does not connect.
    It will only connect if I plug the cable, RG45

    Any ideas?

    Hello!

    After the SP3 update, have you checked the Device Manager If WLAN card is recognized correctly? If this is not the case, this!

    In addition, I would recommend updating the driver WLAN. Maybe you have an older version of the driver that isn t working properly with SP3.
    Here you can download new WLAN drivers: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

    In the worst cases you must downgrade to SP2. A friend had me also some problems with SP3 and after downgrade to SP2 it worked well again.

  • Satellite A30 - 404 - the fan does not work

    I have a Satellite A30-404 for a couple of years now, and recently I saw serious problems with my laptop.

    Let me start from the beginning:

    My laptop has been a few months, when he suddenly stopped, I contacted the helpline and they picked up the phone and fixed.
    Again, a few months later, it happens again and I call them, they tell me that the problem is caused by the dust accumulating on the radiator of the laptop.
    I used a vacuum among fans to clean dust.

    When I do that, indeed, there was a lot of dust coming out, so I made this process, I realized a few months and the laptop remained very well.

    A few months ago, when vacunuming the pc again once I heard something breaking and I soon realized that all the components of one of the fan where gone.

    Probably one of them broke and since it had to be rotated at high speed he stopped and beat all the others. So I had 2 broken fans 1. I realized that in the long term that my processer could be destroyed because it did not good cooling. Since then the processer would become very hot and consumes much more energy than normal.

    Now, I also have the problem that whenever I turn on the pc it starts slowly draining battery (its plugged into the power supply). It's like I have a giant battery, the laptop power and eventually it will turn off. I also tried to boot the pc with no battery at all and it works very well for a while, but then it turned off suddenly. I try to turn on the pc and after 1 or 2 seconds it stops again. I don't know if its related to the fact that the processor is damaged boats.

    I talked to a lot of people in order to get the fixed fan but they say it can become very expensive since its hard getting the same fan. And by the way, when I work on the computer with only the battery that it depends on almost an hour

    Any suggestions? Help, please

    EDIT: I turned of the auto in hibernation when the battery is low to see what is happening, the energy of the battery indicates 0%, but the laptop stays on.

    Hello

    Well, you should be cautious if you use the vacuum cleaner to clean the fans. It is risky!
    Extra ball bearings might damage if the fans turn too fast.

    So if you have no experience with these procedures you should t do.
    The person with the experience as a technician workbook must clean the fans and cooling modules.

    I agree with Doomlord, and it seems that you need a new cooling module.

  • Satellite M70-147 - the battery does not recharge

    Hello

    I have a problem with my battery, it seems that it does not re - pay.
    First of all, please read the following:

    -When I start the laptop with AC power plugged the battery seems to be charged to 100% according to the Toshiba Power Saver.
    -When I remove the block AC power the display brightness goes down, because it goes to the battery, until here everything is normal. However, you do not see the percentage decreases, it remains 100% which means fully charged.
    -After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.
    -Then I reconnect the power supply and turn on the orange light showing that the battery is charging. The light orange he should be in charge, but the percentage remains at 6%. But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.
    -When I turn off the laptop and reboot immediately after that the alarm is triggered, the Toshiba Power Saver says also that the battery is fully charged or 100%. This seems a bit odd.

    So my question is: what is the problem with the battery? or is there something wrong with AC/DC adapter? could result in the fact that he does not seem to charge more. Or is there something wrong inside the laptop.

    If anyone has an idea please let me know, thanks for now.

    > After a few minutes, an audible alarm indicating that the battery is almost dead. When the alarm sounds the Toshiba Power Saver then indicates that percentage is about 6%.

But after 10 minutes the percentage suddenly increases to 100% and the orange charging light turns off.

    I think I know what's wrong.
    Your battery seems to be dead.
    My old laptop battery can be used for about 2 min even it s fully charged.
    It pays for 2 min, then it s completely empty.
    Is nothing unusual as the battery slowly loses the own performance and it s just a matter of time where he died.
    I don't need a new battery because I m using Notepad as compensation for my desktop PC and the laptop is always connected to the sector.

    But if you need to use the battery, then you will need to replace it with a new one.

    Good bye

Could someone please inform me of what may be wrong. I've never used the button so don't know not if she ever open IE.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    You n t need to reinstall the Toshiba controls again.

    What you need to do is to properly configure the Toshiba control button.

    In Control Panel, you can find the Toshiba control utility.

    The first tab called buttons provides two parameter to configure the Internet and CD/DVD button.

    There, you have to assign the Internet Explorer (default browser) to Internet button and apply the changes.

    It should help.
