Satellite P500 - wireless card disappeared

Hello

I had a Satillite P500 with Windows 7 for a few weeks now and when I got it connected to my wireless network. However, there are a few days, the wireless stopped working completely and disappeared from the Device Manager - does not show the same as an unknown device. The wireless switch is enabled, but when you press fn + F8 nothing happens (wireless function key).

I tried to update to the latest drivers, but that didn't seem to affect it. even tried a system restore back to when it was working, but cela does not work either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you.

It looks like a malfunction of wifi module if it is not listed in Device Manager. To be sure it is hardware related issue, restore the factory settings. If it still does not appear, the wifi module is unemployed. In this case, contact the service center or buy the usb wifi dongle

  • Satellite M50 - wireless card disappeared

    Hey.

    Prolly newb question, but I just can't understand this. I can't find my WIRELESS card, my XP does not recognize it. I think I need some kind of driver for it, but I already tried to install several, including the one on this page. Problem is probably, I don't know what model of wireless card has my satellite.

    I tried google, but the jungle brought me here :)
    Thank you.

    Hello!

    What Satellite M50 laptop are you excactly?
    From Toshiba Web site shows only an Intel driver for Satellite M50 (PSM50E and PSM51E) and to Satellite M50 (PSM53E) a driver Atheros.
    Then choose your model and download the driver.

    An update of the BIOS might also solve the problem, but in your case I would try first upgrading the driver.

    Good bye

    Hi people.
    This is my first post on this forum, and it is not for a good reason.

    I installed a new copy of Windows 7 32 bit and after installation, I went to the Web from Toshiba website and download the drivers for this version of SO. Everything is great, except that the wireless LAN card reader works now. Nothing appears in the available device manager. I have no error on the system information for Windows.

    What is the problem? The wireless switch is on! FN + F8 does not work. Help me!!

    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?

  • Satellite P750 - wireless card does not work

    PSAY3A - 02q 001. Laptop is around the age of 20 months. Turned on this afternoon and the Wireless does not work. Atheros AR9002WB-1NG. Can't b on / off switch material. The switch will beep when pushed. Network troubleshooting indicates the card is not activated. Card is always detected in windows.

    I feel that this indicates that the card has failed. Any thoughts?

    > Card is always detected in windows.
    Does that mean exactly?
    WLan is listed in Device Manager?
    And if SO, have you tried reinstalling the WLan driver again?

    If you tried that, do it!
    Uninstall the Wlan driver (in Device Manager), download the latest driver WLan driver Toshiba page, install the driver, reboot the laptop and try to set up the connection.

  • Satellite U300 - sound card disappeared

    Hello.

    Since this morning, that the sound card on my laptop is missing, for example, linux and windows xp can't find it and I can not hear or read any sound. I have installed new software on those OSs and I've only used Notepad to run a linux live-cd of the last two days.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much.

    (the unix "lspci" command do not show any information about the sound card, but the rest material information is correct.)

    Hello Raul

    I really don't understand why this happen, but I guess now you have only one choice: clean install of the OS. I recommend you to follow:

    -Back up all your important data
    -Do the BIOS update
    -After the BIOS update to set all of the default settings
    -Use recovery media and reinstall the OS
    -Check its operation
    -Check with lice CD Linux

    I don't see any other solution. Check it out.

  • Satellite L650-1NC - Map disappeared WLAN Device Manager

    Hi guys!

    I bought the Satellite L650-1NC. After installing the system, everything is ok, but no wireless card. I downloaded the latest drivers from Toshiba and manufacturer sites. After you have installed the latest drivers for the wireless card disappeared from the Device Manager! Connection via cable, works without problem. Exhausted all ideas. Help, please.
    Operating system: Windows 7 64-bit
    Wireless card: Realtek Wireless LAN adapter 8191SE/8192SE

    PS. Sorry for my English

    Hey,.

    The WLAN card is listed in the device as unknown device manager or it is completely gone?

    It's probably happened due bad installation driver in your case, I recommend removing all WLAN drivers and run CCleaner tool to clean the registry. Then download & install the latest official Portal WLAN WLAN drivers:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    Also, make sure that the wireless network adapter is enabled. This can be done with the FN + F8 key combination.

  • Pavilion dv6208nr is not the id of the PCMCIAe wireless card

    Updated this device in Win7 64 bit.  The wireless card disappeared from the currency manager and the indicator light is still orange.  Tried another card, same results.  Downloaded the HP nvidia chipset service pack for Vista 64-bit and all, BUT the card works well.  I suspect that the PCMCIAe driver is missing from this service pack, but I'm not sure of where to get a replacement.  Anyone have any ideas?  It is a Broadcom QDS - 1020 RDAOS, 4324 RDAOS A 1020.

    It's kind of what I thought.  I know that this is not a PCMCIA slot - but the card is in a PCMCIAe slot built into the motherboard.  Oh, well, wireless USB (micro size) is only a few bucks off eBay.  I remove the existing wireless (which works well in an another dv6000) card and replace it with the USB version.  Guess it will reduce heat (these cards get a little hot even though they are part of the currency manager) so I guess that it is powered.  Thanks for the comments and I don't know it will not solve the problem (for the moment anyway - until that something else is wrong with this mobo).  HP should be ashamed of producing such a model of laptop - crappy entry level or not - it course could better laid out.  I went to replace a proc in another one of these horribly designed only to fing dv6000 that they put the processor on the front BOTTOM of the mobo, which required that you remove the card from the base.  In almost any other laptop I worked, the processor is at the top of the Commission, in order to make the keyboard exposes the heatsink and processor.  What a joke.  With regard to the cooling - well, that's another story all together!

  • Satellite Pro L450D-12 X - Wireless card in the process of disappearance

    Hi guys,.

    So, I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro (L450D-12 X) in my possession.

    She has 8 installed inside windows (but came pre-installed with windows 7).

    The problem I face is that, suddenly, the wireless still endangered, literally as no wireless card exists - but there is a wireless card.

    I was able to fix it by reinstalling windows 8 OS. It worked only for a little while and then it disconnects / disappears. No wireless in the "map settings" icon Only the "ethernet" adapter
    Cannot search or browse for wireless network either.

    Since the fix above was not permanent, started the service that controls the card wireless among others who are associated with what this either wireless (don't remember the name) - it worked again.

    Now it has stopped. Well, I'm not with the laptop at the time, I said there and all attempts to restart the service via the phone, does not provide any solution.

    Any ideas guys?

    All responses appreciated.

    Problem is that your laptop model is NOT supported for Win8.
    What WLAN driver have you installed?
    Where did you find?

    When you are faced with this problem wireless network card is listed in the Device Manager?

  • Satellite Pro P500 - update card required sound

    Hi - I just bought a Toshiba Satellite P500 1 G portable 1.8.4. I save/edit many audio and need a good sound card with low latency this sound card which came with the P500 (Nvidia High Definition - version 1.0.0.59) has an excessive latency. I would like to advice on several good options its (upgrade) that a) works perfectly with Windows 7 Home Premium (BONE), b) is compatible with the P500 and c) whose use ASIO sound drivers.

    Your advice would be extremely helpful.
    Best regards, Tim.

    Hi Tim,.

    I think that such an isn t upgrade possible. Why? Well, the sound card or the sound chip to say let s is fixed/soldered on the motherboard and t can be exchanged. That s is not so easy on desktop computer, most of the parts have been fixed.

    But maybe an update the sound card driver would also be useful for you. You can visit the Web from Toshiba for a such update.

  • Satellite Pro 4300 series - is there an available wireless card

    Hi all

    New to this forum I bought an old laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 series recently as a starter machine for my son. The computer is currently connected to the internet using 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN PC Card PCMCIA 3CCFE574BT with dongle connected through hub speedtouch.

    Can someone tell me if there is a PC wireless card that I can use with this machine without having to connect wires in the hub.

    See you soon

    Hello

    As far as I know, the machine does not support the Wlan and has not been equipped with all Wlan cards.
    If you want to connect the computer to the WLan router then I would recommend using a USB WiFi key that would be the simplest solution.

    There are different sticks USB Wlan that supports different Wlan standards; 802.11 B or G, you must choose one that is compatible with your WLan router.

    See you soon

    the light wireless always off I do not know what happened? and the function keys Fn + F8 doesnot work I install add package and this doesnot solve the problem

    My guess is that just failed your wireless hardware.

    Windows does not display the device driver if it does not find the hardware.

    See this thread where I make various suggestions and tips:

    Probably the best thing to do is to buy a USB Wireless Lan.

  • Satellite P10-831 wireless card

    Hello!
    I bought my Satellite P10 831, a year and I was very happy about it. But then I tried to use my wireless card (it is an Atheros I believe)...
    The problem is that my computer can't even find the card. In the unit where everything is listed there is no wireless network card. If I try to install the driver on the CD from Toshiba says:
    NG - driver was NOT updated!
    (INF file may be incorrect or invalid)
    Failed installation
    Please help me!

    Hello bene

    As far as I know Satellite P10 831 is just ready WLAN. This means that WLAN antenna is there, but you have to buy and built in wireless network card. If the card is not listed in Device Manager that it certainly isn't here.

    If you want to check Toshiba page http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com. Under the heading Products > Option & Accessories > Communications you will find a list with all wireless network cards. Check if some of them is compatible with your model of laptop.

    If you need more help please write again.

    Good luck!
