I suspect the fan and pulled out the fan cleaned and tested the fan on a PSU, worked out well. He put it back together, ran startup repair and now the computer is operating normally. The fan is however not appear to come at all. In the Device Manager it tells me it works very well. I'm all good with the mechanical side of the House, but I'm a quamby operating system! How to check the temp CPU or fan?

  Thought that replace the fan but don't want to go that far just to get no results. Currently using the vacuum on low like an external fan and didn't want to just run the laptop with no cooling for fear of permanent damage.

  Any advice would be appreciated.

  Hey mate,

  How to clean the fan exactly? It s advisable to use the jet of compressed air. This could blow the dust of fans cooling and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  Hey,.

  BIOS recovery is not possible and it can only be done from an authorized service provider. The guys have to reflash the ROM module with special tools and need a special version of the BIOS for this procedure.

  You can find a list of aspic here:

• Satellite P500 - Solution how to operate sound on XP 32-bit and 64-bit

  Hi all..
  Now, I write here how I did something that seems impossible...
  I mean sound running on a computer satellite phone / qosmio p500/505 300/500
  and other models with Conexant sound card high definition on x 32 / x 64 Windows XP sp2/sp3...
  I know that many of us have a problem to run any noise at all,
  the fundamental problem is that Windows XP doesn't have a built-in driver files
  are responsible for the recognition of the last sound based on the high-definition audio cards.
  Latest patch for kb888111 system published by Microsoft to address this issue was published in 2005
  and does not appear in the files that recognize the latest Conexant sound card.

  next problem is the correct driver. Toshiba has not released XP drivers for the card its Conexant
  for computer laptop qosmio / satellite 500 / 505, so you should find and use the drivers supplied by
  the manufacturers of other computer models. most of the pilots and the best have to download Lenovo and Dell.
  Personally I used to run the sound in my P500 drivers downloaded from the web site of Dell
  more important in the downloaded drivers, then to install is to edit. INF file that is located in the folder
  with the drivers. This file is a textfile and then edit it in Notepad.
  Edition. INF file is trolling in the path to the identification of our equipment.
  Hardware ID can be found for example in the Device Manager tab in the detroit, video controllers and games.
  for most new toshiba laptop hardware id is:

  %HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel, HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5069 & SUBSY S_1179FFD4

  but it can vary so please check it on your computer!

  Those who have managed to run the sound will certainly have to deal with another problem,
  After restarting the computer no sound and the computer loses the drivers and settings
  and next to the watch does not appear on the "speaker" icon. This problem is also resolved by me below.

  Now to work...
  I assume that you have already installed XP x 32 or x 64, but not yet executed a sound.
  to run the sound, install the chipset driver, then the kb888111 patch.
  If all goes well,
  the devices of the system device manager tab you should found 2 entries "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio".
  where are these 2 entries, click on each of them, right click and select "update driver".
  then you select "install from a list or specific location" and point to the location where you saved the
  files that you have downloaded from the link n ° 1
  Don't FORGET not to confuse it and do not try to update the x 32 system using file system designed for X 64 and vice versa
  When we updated the system should automatically detect the sound card in Device Manager should be of about
  5 points to mark yellow, four belong to Nvidia and one for the Conexant High Definition Audio HD audio.
  Now, install the driver from the Nvidia graphics card that contains the audio driver. After the restart of the installation
  After the computer restarts. Enter the Device Manager and it is more 5 yellow question mark points,
  is the only one this one belongs to map its Conexant, make right click on this one in yellow and
  Select 'update driver' and select 'install from a list or specific location ".
  and point to the location where you saved the files that you downloaded from the link n ° 2
  pointing hand and force the installation of driver. After installation, you enjoy the sounds.
  Don't FORGET not to confuse it and do not try to update the x 32 system using file system designed for X 64 and vice versa

  link n ° 2, includes the drivers that I have edited and I use myself
  in my Toshiba Satellite P500 - 1 CG. What are the drivers for XP x 32 and x 64 sp2/sp3

• 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?

  You can completely disable the buttons of the illumination in the BIOS (the BIOS setup > advanced > System Setup). There is an option called function key. You must set it to disabled.

• How to disable the touch buttons on the Satellite P500?

  I found the touch buttons on the side of the keyboard under the power button on my P500 of Satallite EXTREMELY BORING!
  Does anyone know how to disable?

  See you soon

  Extremely annoying?
  What you do with your hands? I mean if you don't need them do not touch them. Satellite P500 is now in front of me and don't understand how it can be annoying.

  In any case if you do not use them, you must remove support button utility. It is part of the package of added value. I don't know if you can remove it as a simple but what you can do is to remove the VAP system. After restart install VAP again (to download from Toshiba support page) and choose custom installation. Before the button remove the check mark from the usefulness of support and continue the installation.

  I imagine that these buttons will be dead and you will be happy. ;)
  Good bye

• Disk checking on Satellite P500 error

  Having owned my Satellite P500 for a few months, I thought I should check the drive for errors etc - no particular reason, "just in case" something

  I clicked on the button under computer/drive/properties/Tools/Error Checking / Check now... and, as expected, she offered schedule a scan next time that the computer has started. This he duly did, but after offering an opt-out from the disk check, the screen has become almost empty without indication of progress or anything else.

  The only indication that something could happen is the drive on the keyboard of flickering light.

  That's the way it should be, or if there is a meter on screen or progress or at least something to show this disc error checking is actually underway?

  Does anyone have experiences of disk checking under Windows 7 64-bit?

  Thank you
  David

  There is not a progress bar or something like that. you will see the black screen with something written on the subject similar to the DOS window.

  All that s.
  Everything is OK.

• How can satellite P500-024 - I do a new partition with full disk space?

  Hello

  I just bought the Satellite P500-024 and it came with 640 GB HARD drive.

  I just found when clicking on * my computer * which is the HARD drive is cut to the drive C: and D: drive. How can I add the D drive half of the HARD drive on the C: drive of priority so there because I then a full accese 640GO HDD in a chase without cutting 50-50?

  The reason why I ask this is because I noticed when I turn on the laptop it takes ages and maybe a bit slower due to the fact that it is half of the hard drive on drive C. So I want to know how it is easy to add them together into one so that I can get fast and pure to my new Satellite P500-024 performance.

  Thank you.

  Hi tagvic!

  First of all I must say that the two partitions have nothing to do with the slow start procedure on your laptop. Your laptop will be no faster if I you have only one partition, made it s! In addition, the second partition is required for Toshiba HDD recovery option. You know about it?

  HARD drive recovery option is really nice. You can restore factory in a few minutes. For it pour l' utiliser use go from the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then, you can select this option and follow the instructions on the screen. The first partition will be deleted, and after that it will have installed an image of factory settings. This means that you return to the same state that you started the laptop, the first time. The operating system preinstalled with already all the drivers and tools are installed.

  In my view, there is another reason for the slow start to the top. You should try to remove Toshiba Tempro. On my computer it causes a slow start too, and after removing the laptop started much faster.
  I can also recommend you to clean the system using CCleaner and defragment the HARD drive. Removal of startup programs folder that you don't need and try another program like AntiVir AntiVirus.

  I hope I could help a bit.

• Satellite P500 a bad performance in windows 7

  I have a satellite P500, model No. PSPE8C-026006 for 3 years. Core 2 Quad Q9000 @ 2.00 GHz, 2.00 Ghz, 6 GB Ram, 1 TB HD.64 bit windows 7 OS. Even if it is 3 years old, it is still decent Spec

  This laptop is preforming really kicking up. It took 10 minutes to boot and load all startup programs. I understand that there are many programs of preloading of Toshiba. I have disabled many of them, the situation does not improve. Later, I reformatted the laptop and reinstall windows 7, didn't install any program from Toshiba, situation still not improving that much.

  Once launched. It is quite slow to open applications. It preforms as memory is not sufficient, as the latest version of Windows running on a really old computer. Sometimes it randomly freezes for a few seconds while watching videos or playing games.

  many times, windows 7 freezes while I download. I Force shutdown, then restart the computer. Check with Microsoft, stil could not determine if it is a hardware or software problem.

  We have another laptop with a lot less specs (Core 2 duo @1.5 Ghz, 3 GB ram). fact the exact comparison even scenario. running much faster and smoonth than the P500. two laptops have the exact version of windows 7 home on. things simply not adding up

  I tried to reformat the HD, reinstall windows 7, upgrading the BIOS, remove any program on star system upward. Nothing really effective. Help, please

  Hello

  I have the same machine and use it daily. To be honest, I agree with you: it's not the fastest machine but solid multimedia notebook. A few months ago I ve decided to tune up.
  The first step has been upgraded RAM so I ve upgraded to max level. It was a little better, but I was not so happy. Friend of mine told me I should upgrade/Exchange SSD HARD drive so I ordered one.

  After Exchange SSD, I was really surprised how fast Mobile runs. It load Windows in just 35 seconds and open all applications in a few seconds. Everything runs very fast so if you want to have great P500 RAM upgrade and use SSDS. Believe me you will be happy with your machine.

  To be honest, I really like P500 and it is for me very nice machine of Toshiba. I wouldn't go for a newer model.

  What do you think of all this?
