• Portege M400 - cannot use full 4 GB of RAM

  I installed two modules of KTT667D2 / 2G on my laptop (Portege M400-103, part No. PPM40E - 012018 G 3) - total do 4 GB. However, the two original Windows XP Tablet and Ubuntu 9.04 are unable to see all 4 GB - they see 3.2 GB only.
  The BIOS displays the amount properly - 4096 Mb.
  I also tried to solve the problem of updating the BIOS to the latest version (3.80, 30/05/08), but two operating systems (Windows and Ubuntu) see still 3.2 GB only.
  Any ideas? Thank you.

  That s nothing unusual!
  That s a limitation of 32-bit. All operating systems 32-bit (no matter if it is Vista, XP or Linux) can manage 3.2 GB max.
  Only a 64-bit OS might be able to use and recognize more than 3.2 GB of RAM

  You should read a few articles about 32 bit OS and 4 GB RAM problem.

• Satellite P300D-13 has (PSPDCE) - downgrade to Windows XP SP2 from Prof. - pilot

  Hello, first of all, I come from Germany and I hope you understand my problem...

  I bought last week it really useful for computer laptop Satellite P300D-13 (PSPDCE) and have now a few huge problems...

  I have download all the drivers of P300D Series for Windows XP and also installed the display driver.
  My problem is that the sound is not as good as on Vista. He did not get the right sound for me... Is this a driver problem? But I can listen to the sound...

  Another problem is that Windows XP found SM Bus controller, but cannot find a driver for it.

  I know it was a big mistake not to burn a DVD of VISTA recovery but I have all the files for recovery on a separate disk DVD. If I have the Toshiba recovery software can I make a DVD of recovery with the old files of Vista on Windows XP? If all goes well, there is a solution...

  I don't like Vista, it's like a very expansive toy for me. So I decided to install Windows XP Prof. SP2...

  I hope someone can help me...

  Regarding the noise I suggest you to check the website of conexant for some newer drivers, maybe they could improve the 'sound quality' of your audio output.

  The SM-Bus is part of the ATI chipset and install it that you only have to google for "ATI SMBus" that returns thousands of links to driver ATI SM - Bus.
  With the recovery it s not so easy because the file structure on the recovery partition is not similar to the image of final recovery on the recovery CD.

  I suggest to make a picture of your XP, recover your machine with the recovery of HARD drive, burning media, and then copy the picture from your previous installation of XP on the C: drive. I know it sounds a bit like much work but it s worth. :)

• Satellite P300D-14 and Win8 - cannot install optional update

  I have a Toshiba Satellite P300D-14th with Windows 8 Pro.
  Hard drive is not original (all 2 disc HARD original died)-now this is Seagate Momentus ST9500325AS.

  In the updates of Windows, I put in optional day - + AMD - storage controller - AMD Sata Controller +.
  [https://s017.radikal.ru/i408/1305/ee/0874c8831d27.jpg]
  I try to install it, then mobile must be restarted - I do restart, load until Windows starts... and restart again, and then it displays the message that it could not start Windows, than restarting again and Diagnostic Utility starts.
  This notice of restore (restore point). I do restore and the laptop starts as usuall.

  So, question is - why I can't install this update? and is there a solution (except do not install).

  P.S.: Sata remains AHCI in the BIOS for the controller.

  P.P.S.: drivers I found (thanks to Everest (AIDA64)):
  (1) standard dual channel PCI IDE Controller, driver date: 21.06.2006, driver version: 6.2.9200.16548
  (2) standard SATA AHCI Controller, driver dat: 21.06.2006, driver version: 6.2.9200.16548
  (3) controller storage in the Microsoft space, pilot dat: 21.06.2006, driver version: 6.2.9200.16548
  (4) ST9500325AS, driver dat: 21.06.2006, driver version: 6.2.9200.16384

  > So, question is - why I can't install this update? and is there a solution (except do not install)

  From my point of view, there will be a compatibility problem.
  The P300D is a little older and you use Win 8.
  AFAIK P300D isn t Win 8 supported... of course, this does not mean that you can not use Win 8 on this unit, but it might be possible that not all drivers are fully compatible, however, it's just an idea

• Satellite L500 and WIn7 upgrade - cannot use FN + F9

  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?

• Satellite L50 - A - 1 6 - cannot use a combination of 2 buttons

  Hello

  Since yesterday, I found a problem with my keyboard. It's here: I can't press any combination of 2 keys at the same time as: left SHIFT + A, tab + W, Q + W... It is a combination that I found... The other keys work fine. I can press right SHIFT + A, but the left does not work...

  Can someone help me, please? Done that when I write something, when I play something, everywhere... The keyboard worked fine 2 days ago...

  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here.
  For example, it will be interesting to know if your shift button on the left works or not.
  You can use it as SHIFT + CAPS LOCK?

  Problem is that there is no special option where you can control the keyboard doesn't feature keys and in most cases if a key does not work it must be faulty.
  It's really not easy to help with these issues.

  Hello

  To me, it seems that you used is not compatible Wlan module.
  But I found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=79237

  A user was unable to activate new update Intel Wlan card.
  According to some information, its possible to enable the Wlan card by covering pin 13 on the wireless Mini-PCI network card.
  But to be honest I've ever tried and I would use this workaround with caution.

• Satellite A200-1CR: Vista Ultimate - cannot use BT

  Nice day:

  I installed Windows vista Ultimate edition, but I couldn't use the Bluetooth connection. Even I couldn't see it as a device or connection. Could you help me with this?

  Also the FN key does not work so I couldn't turn on the mouse pad, so I use an external mouse.

  I think that BT does not work because it s simply not activated.
  By using the FN + F8 keys, you can switch between BT and WLan. In order to choose BT!

  Have you installed the Vista drivers all available from the European pilot of Toshiba page?

  As I m not wrong not you install the Vista value-added package.
  This package contains the Toshiba Flash Cards that controls the FN key features too.

  I would recommend this review first

• Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

  Hello guys!

  I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

  Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

  Thank you in advance!

  Ralf

  It s very strange.
  I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
  Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
  In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

  But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

  Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.

• Satellite P300D-h-13 - Impossible to activate the TV-out

  Hello

  I have the Satellite P300D-h-13 pspdce, OS win 7 64 bit and latest display drivers.
  I've been running an extended desktop to my TV with Vista without problem.

  Now that I've upgraded to Windows 7. My graphics card is unable to detect even a TV, even when I do a forced hardware detection.
  I connect with an s-video cable.

  Any suggestions?

  Hello

  I visited the European driver of Toshiba page and found a BIOS specially for Win 7 64 bit.
  In fact it s a version 3.30.
  I recommend the update to this BIOS!

  Finally, you need to update the display driver.
  Usually, you should be able to get on TV by using the FN + F5 key combination.

  FN keys will not work if you install the VAP (value added package)

  Hello

  Have you already checked the BIOS? How much RAM show the BIOS?
  And what kind of modules you have exactly?

  Normally, it should be possible to use full 4 GB of RAM on a 64 bit OS as your laptop also supports 4 GB.

  Maybe you should also try updating the chipset driver. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  Your ad is quite confusing and I don t understand exactly what is happening. If I understand right, you cannot use Windows, but you have full access in safe mode. Is this correct?

  In any case try to follow: start Windows in safe mode and try to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. Do the first step, check what happens and post comments.
