Satellite P100-160 BT icon appears in the Control Panel, but no BT

Hello

I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.

* Reasons I thought that I had BT: *.
I thought originally I had, because in 'Control Panel', it has a Bluetooth icon, which when I press on it opens the "Bluetooth devices". I also use WiFi I thought a sign that BT has been installed and working. I also notice that in Services' there is that something called 'Toshiba Bluetooth Service' running.

* Reasons I think that now I don't have BT: *.
However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth devices > Bluetooth settings, nothing happens. It's as if the button is dead. And when I try to 'Add a BT device', he finds not all devices. In addition, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.

.....

Overall, I am very confused! I bought yesterday wireless speakers after seeing the BT icon in Control Panel (I had read that if this icon was there, I got BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!

Could someone explain what it means the Bluetooth icon in the control panel? Why is there if I don't have BT? Or, the icon means I have BT but am doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance! Very frustrated!

David.

> Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not

Satellite P100-160 was NOT equipped with Bluetooth module.
But maybe the battery BT software has been installed and is why the BT icon is visible in the control panel.

  • HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel

    My HP Officejet 4500 wireless printer does not appear on the control panel.  How to fix it.  I have a laptop Toshiba and Windows 7 Home Premium OS.  Help, please.    rwillm

    Hey,.

    Thanks for the update, rwillm.  It seems that the installation of the printer can be a little messed up.  If the printer software is always installed, but simply lacks the printer, then I would advise to do a little cleaning before choosing to add the printer back.

    • Make sure that the printer is deleted from the file devices and printers
    • Click on one of the remaining printers folder
    • Select the properties of the print server at the top of the window
    • Click the tab drivers
    • Remove all drivers in this window for the Officejet 4500

    Also check in the Device Manager to verify that there is no mention of remaining of the 4500.

    • Click on the start menu
    • Right click on computer
    • Select manage in the list
    • Click Device Manager in the list of questions on the left side of the window that opens
    • Click the view at the top of the menu, and then select Show hidden devices
    • Remove all references to the 4500 in the list of devices

    After making sure of the device is gone, I recommend bike devices in the power circuit: router, computer and printer.

    * Make sure the printer has a valid IP address after switching back on and is connected to the same network as your PC before adding the printer.

    If the IP address and SSID are good for the printer, then try to add the printer with the printer software, you have installed.

    • Click on the Start Menu
    • Click on all programs
    • Open the HP folder
    • Open the folder for the series of the Officejet 4500 G510
    • Select Add a device option

    Let me know how it goes,

  • Programs disappear from my office and the program from the list but still appear in the control panel

    I use Window XP Home Edition and lately, I've noticed that programs have disappeared off the coast of my office and in the list of programs without allow me to delete them.  Firstly, this came to light when I went to start my virus scan and impossible to locate the icon or in the list of all the programs, but it is in the status bar at the bottom right of the screen. I have since discovered that other software have disappeared and when I will remove and reinstall them using the Control Panel can't do.  And when I tried to back up my data when it came time to burn data on a cd, I got a message asking me to insert a disk. Yes, he asked for a floppy and I couldn't have it burn the disk that was selected at the beginning of the backup.  A couple of days, I got the "blue screen" a couple of times and the computer turns off automatically. Oh yes, one more thing restore to a previous period will not fix the situation. Can someone tell me what is happening?

    Hi LarryFuller,

    It seems that your computer has been infected by the virus or malware. Scan your computer with the Microsoft Safety Scanner to get rid of the same.

    Note: The data files that are infected must be cleaned only by removing the file completely, which means that there is a risk of data loss.

  • Satellite P100: think that line appears on the screen during her watch low resolution movies

    Hello

    My laptop is Satellite P100 with T5 cpu dual core and go7900 gs video card, 2 GB of ram
    Because my laptop is new, I discovered a strange problem about the video card driver.
    When I look at any kind of movies Sony handy cam, at the top of my 17 inch will display a line of thinking, and what's supposed to be shown here (desktop icons,...) is moved to the bottom.

    I can fix that only if I change the resolution of my screen. I want to mention info film is: mpg 2 (format maxim) NTSC, 24.97, its 48 kHz dolby ac frame.
    I think that it is a driver issue, but I'm not shore, that's why I need support.
    Please what can I do to solve this error.
    I have the latest video card driver and bios of the Toshiba site.

    Best regards to all!

    Hello

    This problem also occurs with other films (movies high resolution)?
    Have you tried different video players?

  • Satellite P100 - thin yellow line appears on the screen

    Hello world.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P100, 3 years ago.
    Recently appeared on my screen an intermittent thin vertical yellow line.

    Nothing serious, but very annoying, especially when I play or watch movies.
    I just found that it is not a software problem, but a material one (I've connected the laptop with my TV and there is no yellow line shown on the screens).

    So I guess there is something wrong with the LCD of my Satellite.

    You think it's interesting to try to fix this? What can I do?

    Thank you

    Hello

    > So I guess there is something wrong with the LCD of my Satellite.
    Maybe

    Always is that those issues could be related to a defective LCD screen or graphics chip
    But given that this line is not visible on the TV or external monitor this could be an internal screen problem and not a problem of graphics chip

    > You think it is worth trying to fix this? What can I do?
    Well, a laptop screen is not a party so inexpensively.
    It costs about 300-350 Euros and I wouldn't try to replace it if the warranty is no longer valid

  • Satellite P100-160 resolution goes down when the 2nd screen is connected

    Hi all

    I have a P100-160 equipped with Intel 945 express chipsets for graphics. Whenever I connect to my laptop to an external display, it reduces the resolutions available for the external monitor and laptop to 800 x 600 and 1024 x 768. There are no other options. I KNOW that the graphic card can support a higher resolution for an external monitor that.

    I tried all the sense of starting and restarting with the monitor plugged in and out, I updated to the latest drivers and and I flashed the BIOS with the latest version of the BIOS without result. There is not even in the BIOS to change display settings.

    Someone has encountered this problem before?

    Hello

    The favorite of the external resolution can be chosen IF the graphics card chip and graphics driver support this resolution.

    In your user manual, you can find information about what external resolutions are available and taken in charge on this laptop.

    Did you check that?
    If this is not the case, do it!
