• Satellite Pro C650D - problems with the audio and game controllers

  Hello

  I recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones and game controllers.
  Sometimes the microphone stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

  Stakeholders sometimes still work when I connect headset.
  Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers while some coming through the headphones.

  I have a usb game controller which also did not work everything properly.
  If I assign buttons in the program that they do not work in the game.

  All these devices are in Device Manager in a group that makes me think it's sort of annoying update doubtful that messes with them.

  Any body have similar problems or know what to do better?

  See you soon

  Hello

  Can you please send some details on the laptop model and the system you are using?

  With regard to the issue of sound/mic:
  > The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype, for example, but most of the time works fine, once again, when I restart the pc.

  Are you talking about internal microphone or external? This only happens using Skype?
  In your case I would test the microphone using different applications to make sure that is not a Skype related issue.

  > Yet sometimes the speakers work when I connect headset.

  The user has had a similar problem, but this phenomenon was linked to the Realtek HD Audio Manager settings.
  She wrote:
  + In the upper right corner, there is a small yellow folder called "Connector settings" in my version. +
  + There, finally I could re-enable the setting "enable popup dialog box, when the unit is plugged. +

  + So now when I plug an external speaker or headphones, it appears, and I select the option "helmet" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+

  Regarding the game controller:

  I put t think its problem of laptop in my opinion, you must make sure that the controller is compatible with the games you play and also recommended to check some info provided by the manufacturer of the game controller.

• Satellite Pro A200 - question on the BIOS update

  I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that have been installed recently.
  In the driver of Toshiba page (BIOS update) says:

  "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!"

  (1) should I update my BIOS (1.4) or it'll be a problem for my windows XP?

  (2) anyone has try?

  (3) is there documentation on the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc.)?

  Hello

  I will try to be very short with answers:
  1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
  2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
  3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista

  Good bye

• Satellite U500-17F: problems with the new HARD drive

  Hi everyone, I got some troubleshooting with my Satellite and a new drive, I bought recently, because that is already damaged because of too many bad sectors. One is a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 Bg (WD3200BEKT model number). It should be a fast reader but is not with my Satellite.

  After having mounted the drive in the laptop, I ran a new installation (with full disk format} Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the necessary drivers (that I downloaded directly from the Page of Support Toshiba.)

  The problem is that the laptop needs a lot of time to start and also to disable, and whenever I try to run an application or start a program (for example Firefox, or just a few windows applications), the laptop freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds, the drive no longer works (you can hear leaders put in position 'parking' and the HDD LED control is constant) ", no lights flashing).

  It seems that the drive (during this 30-60 seconds) in something as a stand-by mode. I ran a few Western Digital diagnostic tools and the car looks all right to 100%. It works also without any problems in the other laptop (HP Pavilion DV6500). Could this be a problem with the controller (Intel ICH9M - E ATA AHCI controller) driver?

  Any suggestion?
  Thanx

  Hello

  You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check if you need a BIOS update. Of course I read in a few discussions on the similar question of Win XP you use Win 7 but its value to check the update of the BIOS and U500 series.

  In addition, I recommend check you the power of Windows 7 options.
  Disable in the power profile that you use power saving HDD.

  Just a question:
  You use the option AHCI in the BIOS?
  As far as I know it of possible to use either a compatible SATA AHCI mode.
  AHCI must be used because this option would use full SATA performance.

• Satellite Pro 4280 - what is the size of the HARD drive?

  I just bought a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4280. According to the manual, it should have a 6.0 GB HDD but in my computer it is shown as having only a 1.34 GB capacity.

  PS I formatted the disk to remove the former owner data and operating system and you have installed Windows 98SE

  [Edited by: admin]

  Hello

  Satellite Pro 428Xcdt was certainly delivered with 6 GB HARD drive.
  Are you sure that you have checked the size of the HARD drive correctly?

  I guess the 1.34 GB is a free space on the HARD disk.

• Satellite M - How to remove the BIOS password?

  Hello.

  I forgot my BIOS password. I tried to do everything to introduce some default passwords like "toshiba" "phoenix" pressing the left SHIFT key while booting to disassemble my laptop and find my BIOS battery to remove it.

  The problem is that my battery is stuck on my motherboard and I don't know what to do. I heard that there should be a few riders near the battery that could help me but I cannont find them.

  I'm desperate... What can I do?
  Please help me
  Thank you.

  Default password doesn't exist and there is no magic default password that can remove existing. Remove the BIOS battery will not help at all. It will not work on laptops, then forget.

  BIOS password can be removed in ASP only if the closest contact with ASP and they will help you.
  Theory with rider is also not correct because the BIOS removal procedure is not the same for each laptop model.

  Sorry, but ASP is your only way to remove the BIOS password.

• Satellite U400: How to set the BIOS password & learn how to use facial recognition

  I have a Satellite U400 Satellite.

  Can someone direct me to a link of support for the implementation in passwords in BIOS?

  There are several options and I don't know what does what...
  Thanks for your help...

  Another point:

  I feel that the definition of a password or both in the BIOS will help the face recognition program to work, for some reason any.
  I NEVER managed to properly configure that, although I tried several times,
  go in accordance with the instructions.

  A lot of frustration and time, I would say.
  This is for safety.

  > Can someone direct me to a link of support for the implementation in passwords in BIOS?
  If you want to set the password in the BIOS you will need to access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after that the laptop has been powered.

  There is a 3rd tab security.
  There you can set the BIOS password. You would need to put everything first and then you must confirm the password once more to

  > I have the impression that the definition of a word or two in the BIOS will help the face recognition program to work, for some reason any.
  This s the password of BIOS nonsense has nothing to do with the reorganization of face.

• Satellite A210 how to reset the BIOS password unknown?

  Hey guys

  I have a BIOS password on my Toshiba Satellite A210, I have no idea what it can be. One day, when I turned on my laptop, it came with a black screen with a blue rectangle in the Middle says "Enter password". I tried to enter my Windows login password, but it did not work.

  After 3 times to try the laptop password puts himself off the coast. No member of my house using my pc, and even if they did, they don't know how to do something like that anyway. Also, I have seen on other forums that it occurred to people for no reason.

  Another thing, I would like to try one of the programs of resetting the BIOS as KeyDisk or CmosPWD but if I put a CD, DVD, Flash drive, etc, in my pc and press F12 for the boot menu, nothing happens so I can't do that!

  Please help, I can't use my PC and I am currently on my sisters pc!

  Hello

  It's very strange?  :|
  Never heard of passwords that appear automatically without any action

  In any case, let's talk about proposals of solution;

• URGENT! problem with the bios to start the computer

  Hello

  I have a lenovo s12 notebook and I have the problem with the password of the bios. the bios was previously password protected and I wanted to get rid of it, so I opened the bios went in password management and tried to 'turn off' but apparently the system would not accept that option, while i went to the password field, then put the old password, and then I gave him 2 "drafts" enter enter since I assumed he wouldn't ask Word of past again... on windows it works like that, you put a blank password twice, and then it will not ask password again.

  now it's happened, it's that the system always ask the password on the bios, I can not enter setup again because the old password does not work after installing brief loading, it accepts either a blank password, I tried the generic password for phoenix bios which seems to be "phoenix"...

  should I don't have to go the hard way, open the computer and remove the cmos battery? Since it is possible to find it of course, since it is a laptop? does anyone know any other bios password "generic"? or I have seen that if you can build an external device then you can connect to the mobo and read the stored password on the mobo, but it starts to become a little too testy, I don't want to build and solder.

  Anyway any help greatly appreciated please reply to my email xxxxxxxxx

  Thank you very much
