• Re: Satellite P500 - Wireless disappeared and are not not in Device Manager

  Hello

  I had a P500 Satellite with Windows 7 weeks and on my network wireless at home, a few days ago the wireless on the laptop disappeared completely! Completely disappeared from the Device Manager, does not even appear as an unknown driver. Updated to the latest driver, but that has not solved anything, switch wireless is enabled, but the wireless near the switch icon is red and pressing fn + F8 does nothing. Its almost as if this laptop is not wireless! No mention of what anyone in the network connections.

  Found something on the Toshiba said that updating the drivers, but that has not helped. Anyone else had this issue or know how to solve?

  Thanks for the help

  Hello

  The forum already contains these discussions where notebooks will freeze after 5 or 10 minutes of play. Have you read them?

  Now it s not easy to say what causes this problem but first of all you need to install the latest driver of Toshiba display. Don t use non-Toshiba drivers, as they can cause the overheating!

  Also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS and it s useful to clean the laptop time using a jet of compressed air.

• Satellite P500 PSPG8E - buddies Bios 3 times - a long two short

  Hello

  I have a question: when I turn on my Satellite P500 PSPG8E I get 3 friends: a long two short!

  What is, perhaps memory?

  Thank you d ' attribute
  Greetings from the Germany

  Hello

  This laptop supports Phoenix BIOS.
  You use a google for Phoenix beep codes for details on the meaning of the code.

  But in General; the code means that an error has been detected on the motherboard. The POST (power on self-test) cannot be passed.
  Theoretically, it may be a RAM issue, but it's just a suggestion.

• Satellite P500: no message "No items to select" after BIOS 3.1 update

  Hello

  I upgraded my Satellite P500 with the update of the BIOS Version 3.10 since the support site.
  Now I get the error 'No element to select' message after the laptop has rebooted. Someone has an idea, how I can solve this problem?

  best regards and thanks in advance

  Hello

  Never seen this message and to be honest, I don't know what elements should be chosen.
  Go into the BIOS settings and set it back to default settings.
  Save the change and reboot the device.

  Check it!

• Satellite P500 - after update BIOS on the numeric keypad does not work anymore

  I just had a Satellite P500 and am running Windows 7. I downloaded all the latest drivers and updated the system BIOS to version 1.70 (from Toshiba support website). Now, my numeric keypad of the keyboard does not work.

  The NumLock light is on and when I hit the key "6" on the pavement, he turns the power light, but the behavior of the other keys does not change that it is on or off. The '-' key to enter a '6', but none of the other keys (except "enter" does nothing.

  I removed the keyboard driver and rebooted to reinstall the keyboard driver, but has no effect. The keyboard has worked for a few days after that I flashed the bios but seems to have stopped since I started using a USB mouse. I tried to uninstall the USB mouse driver, but who have nothing do either (it was a Logitech driver).

  Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance

  Whenever I try to use Skype all I get is a blue screen where my webcam should be. I checked to see if my webcam doesn't work at all, and all I get is the web cam iniliziation failed Please check device and restart.

  I tried this but nothing helped. I also tried to reinstall the camera and update the drivers. Still nothing.

  Up to now, I have strength to have one problem with cam or Skype. Everything works fine.

  You can use cam with other applications?
  Cam is listed in Device Manager?

• Satellite P500 boot nor OS install

  Hello & lead greetings to all friends of the Forum.

  Please, could someone kindly look into this problem for me.

  My laptop, a Toshiba Satellite P500 is defective. It will boot after post and as soon as it reaches the "Starting Windows" (WIN 7) logo splash, it freezes and it will stay like that for hours. I changed the hard drive, the memory modules, I tried to reinstall the operating system, I tried to boot with a Linux Live CD, Live USB and DVD USB, but all help drive does not. I changed the BIOS configuration, and then reset to default, again without success.

  Don't you think it's a fault of MB, CPU or GPU?

  And someone has a suggested method of remedy?
  I thank you all in advance and will be happy to help anyone!

  Thanks again!

  Hello

  You have already replaced the common areas like the HARD drive and memory.
  It was my first idea of memory or the HARD drive may be affected, but if you are sure that the new parts are ok, then the problem might be related to the motherboard.

  Usually if the CPU would be affected, then the POSITION could not be transmitted correctly.
  So it seems that this motherboard you could go wrong function which means that the fix will be really expensive since the new motherboard is one of the expensive laptop parts

  Hello

  May I ask if you have checked the system requirements for Civilization 4 first? Before you try to play a game, you should check the system requirments. Is the laptop fast enough and very important: the graphics card is compatible with this game?
  Check this box!

  If you meet the system requirements make sure that the latest Toshiba display driver is installed. Don t use the driver from nVidia directly, it doesn t have a protection against overheating.

  And you have installed the latest version of DirectX?

  Thank you, Wayne...

  Hello Wayne

  In front of me, I have Satellite P500 and I use it almost 10 months now without a single update. What I'm updating are important updates from Microsoft. More than that and so far I didn't notice a single hardware or software problem.
  After reading your ad m a little confused.

  As far as I know Toshiba doesn't offer any DVD for that laptop, not any kind of pilot DVD so please be so kind and tell me which DVD driver is and who has created and offered this DVD.

  original is Win7 64 bit OS (original image of recovery Toshiba) preinstalled on this P500?

• Satellite P500-16 t - how to disable the sound of multimedia keys?

  I recently offered a Satellite P500-16 t. First of all, I find nowhere any reference of this laptop. So if you have a similar and know how to stop the bipping when I put the sound, I'd be very happy. And, if by chance, you know why this laptop is not in the list of toshiba support, I would like to know as well.

  Thanks to you all.

  Hi topchrunch,

  Yes, you can disable the beeper Satellite P500 in the BIOS. Therefore, to access the system configuration and disable the beep. Setup Save & Exit and he works or let's say beep is disabled. :)

  Satellite P500-16 t belongs to the PSPGSE series, and as a result, you can download all the drivers and tools here:

• Satellite P500 - 1 c 3 - How to activate CHIP?

  Hello world

  I would like to know how to enable smart in BIOS, I have two lines in there with the chip off, but I can't select and activate it.

  Thanks for your help
  I'm on a P500 - 1 c 3

  Hi Liam,

  Unfortunately, I think that you cannot turn SMART on Satellite P500. I even checked the BIOS and there is no choice about the CHIP

  When exactly do you mean with two lines in SMART?

• Satellite P500-1DZ starts only with remote control

  Hi, I just bought a new laptop Satellite P500 after owning a P200-13Z and P300-160 years without ever having had a problem with one of them.

  I have a problem with the P500-1DZ that I bought because it does not start the power button when he was arrested for a period of time, as for example the night.

  If I stopped and immediately press the power button its fine and it starts as well with the remote control.

  In the BIOS, I noticed that there is an option for remote start to the top of the control that is enabled, but Im a little worried about this deactivation in case I can't restart the laptop... everyone has ideas?

  Also for other users of the P500 who are dissatisfied witht the audio output of the laptop, I fixed that uninstall the Audio drivers Connexant HD, then by restarting which allows Windows to install its own audio drivers... which has greatly improved the audio output of the laptop... even if its not as good as the old P300.

  Thank you

  Hi spidercpfc,

  This question really strange s with this start of the issue and I think that it of difficult to say why it happens exactly, but as written Akuma you should try upgrading the BIOS. You can download it from the official page of Toshiba:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

  Last week I updated the BIOS of my P500 also and it worked, I t has not had any problems. I updated the BIOS to the version preinstalled Windows as an administrator. Also, I closed all programs running (AntiVirus, Firewall, browser, etc.) and disconnected from the network. After a few seconds the update was done.

  After the update, you should also load default settings in the BIOS. So press F9 in BIOS setup and save these settings.

  I hope this works. :)

• Satellite P500-1DX will not accept password

  Satellite P500-1DX - Windows 7.
  Not connected this morning no problem, return to work will not accept password.
  Had not implemented the password reset disk, but have one created from my old laptop which is vista OS.

  However, when I enter the P500 it runs the wizard and an error occurs.
  The laptop has perfectly to update Norton 360 on it is probably not a virus.

  All ideas

  Hello

  What password do you mean exactly?
  BIOS or Windows user password?

  If you're talking about BIOS password then I have some bad news for you; You cannot reset a unknown BIOS password. Only a Toshiba ASP technician may remove unknown BIOS password.
  But if you talk to windows user password, then you could reset/clear the password by the new installation of the operating system for this you can use a HARD drive recovery option.

  PS: I found this article on resetting a password account user in Vista or Windows 7. I did not try it, but some people on the net reported that the account password could be changed successfully
