Satellite Pro L10 - cannot activate wireless

Just installed 2 new maps memory of 512 MB to L10 up to 1 GB maximum memory. A basic 256 MB before and became really slow.
However, now cannot access the internet without wire - worked very well before, although slowly.

I get the message "wireless communication switch is turned off", despite press the silver on the front and try Fn + F8. Seems turns a second then turns off again. I've never had to do before.
Everything else seems fine. Running XP OS.

Anyone has any ideas please?

Hello

To be honest, I doubt that this has something to do with the RAM upgrade. This doesn t usually affect the function of your laptop wireless.

Anyway, first of all, I would try reinstalling the WLAN driver. You can get the latest version on the Toshiba site:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

Also, be sure that the BIOS version is the most recent.

    Help, please!

    Hi lil_red_rose,

    The laptop doesn't have a WIFI hardware switch, but you can use the combination of keys FN + F8 to disable/enable the feature WLAN.

    Also if the wireless network adapter is not recognized, press the key combination mentioned above to activate the wireless network card.

    Hi Aamir Malik

    Satellite P755-S5393 has been preloaded with Win 7.

    If you still use this system, you should first check if the other next to the combination FN + F8 function keys work correctly.
    If the keys n t work, you must install additional Toshiba as software
    TOSHIBA Value Added Package and Toshiba Flash cards support utility

    Drivers & updates for this model is located on the Toshiba USA support page:
    http://support.Toshiba.com/support/modelHome?FREETEXT=3167433

    Where only the combination FN + F8 does not work, I recommend reinstalling the WLan driver.

  • Loss of wireless connection on Satellite Pro L10

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L10, with wireless capabilities built-in. I recently bought an ADSL Modem Belkin Wireless G Router. My desktop PC can connect to the internet via cable and cannot therefore have my laptop. However, when I connect to the internet via wireless connection my laptop sometimes everything stops. This isn't something to signal that I'm only about 2 feet from the router, and it is not that I can't connect to the internet, as I am on this at the moment. Is that in a few minutes, the connection will be lost and I can't seem to find what I can do about it.

    The other problem is that when I click the icon at the bottom right of the screen, the "Wireless network connection" window opens. Here, it shows the wireless network I'm trying to connect and it shows with a strong signal, but it is almost always said not 'connected '. He said never 'connected', even when I am connected to the net and surf away!

    Anyone has any ideas at all?

    It sounds a little to the Wireless LAN card is unable to obtain a valid IP address.
    These interruptions may occur for different reasons.
    But especially the new version of the driver Wlan and/or Bios should help resolve these interruptions.

    What card Wlan do you use?
    If you are using the Intel Wlan card you can also visit the Intel Web site to download the most recent version of the WLan driver.
    Please also compare the BIOS version available on the Tosh site with the version preinstalled on your laptop.

    Wlan card properties contain some useful options that could improve the quality of the connection. Energy saving options should also be required to check other functions in the tab advanced and disabled.

  • Cannot burn CDs on Satellite Pro L10

    I have a Satellite Pro L10 and impossible to copy data files to DVD/CD player. I go through the process by using the Editorial Assistant and it appears to download the files, but finishes with a screen that says "cannot complete the CD Writing Wizard" and ejects the CD. The CD is empty, but the displayed size went from 720 mB to 647 mB of free space and total size.

    This was not always the case, because it worked when I first got the L10. The L10 has Windows XP

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    Are you trying to burn the files using clean combustion of Windows?

    Hmmm I put t like this feature of Microsoft. I use a 3rd party software to burn data and files on CD or DVD.
    It s Nero burning ROM.
    This tool is really nice and I have not noticed problems using this software.
    You should also test this tool and I'm sure that you will be very satisfied.

    But back to the error message that appeared during the burning process;
    After a lengthy investigation on Microsoft pages, I found very useful knowledge base article Microsoft and information;
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/324129

    The error messageError: cannot complete the wizard of CD writing ofmay occur if the IMAPI CD Burner service is shut down. To resolve this problem, make sure that the service is running and that it has not been arrested. By default, the service is set to manual. Start the IMAPI CD Burner service and then test it by writing on a CD - R or a CD - RW. If the service is running, you may need to set the service to automatic if it does not start in manual mode.

    To set the service to automatic, follow these steps:
    1. click on start, run, type services.msc /s in the Open box, and then click OK.
    2. double-click on IMAPI CD - Burning COM Service.
    3. under the service status, click Start.
    4. try to write data to a CD.

  • Satellite Pro L10 and Windows 7 drivers

    Hi guys,.

    I'm looking for a set of drivers for the laptop model above. I recently installed Win7, but I have no drivers for the machine at all.
    XP drivers do not work.
    If someone managed to install the drivers for this machine? I'm mainly interested in getting my wireless card working.

    I look forward to your responses.

    Thanks in advance for your responces

    Satellite Pro L10 is old enough for laptop and I do not think that you will find all the Win7 drivers.
    According to the Toshiba - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9902P50000R01.htm - your laptop isn't supported Win7 and find the drivers won't be so easy.

  • Intermittent WiFi on Satellite Pro L10 D WAP - Link

    Equipment: new Satellite Pro L10 with Centrino & integrated Intel Pro 2200BG wifi and D-Link DWL2100Ap wireless access point. The new laptop works on the neighbor's wireless network (all day), and my Sony notebook working on our D-Link network based. However the new Toshiba works for awhile the first thing in the day (maybe 2 hours) and then stops working at an increasing rate. The afternoon he will not work for more than about one second.

    For most, however, the icon says that it is connected and free config says that it is connected; See her ranges from wireless networks - different bits of the system are in disagreement on the status of the connection, but no data flow.

    The D - link WAP has always said he has the Toshiba as a customer. Select 'repair' normally runs for a second or two.

    He always seems to have a number allocated IP, IPCONFIG - however, if I try to connect later in the day and is already having an IP address, it may not stay connected for long enough to get a.

    Very frustrating. Any help appreciated.

    Hello

    Well it s very strange.
    You said that the work of laptop on the neighbouring s wireless very well.
    In this case I n t think that it s a problem with wireless network card.
    Try to check your router settings.
    Maybe you can compare your settings with the neighbors.

  • How to use Recovery on satellite Pro L10 with DVD drive broken?

    Hello...

    I have a satellite Pro L10, which is virused. I need to recover Windows. Unfortunately, I can not, because the CD/DVD drive is borked.

    I tried everything until and including the purchase of a laptop adapter HD, but my desktop computer is not a Toshiba so he does not have the recovery disk.

    I've never had to use a "recovery disk" before, so I have no idea how it works - apparently there should be a folder on my hard drive recovery? can someone tell me where I could find it? (I'm quite familiar with the innards of my installation of Windows and have never noticed before). Also, is it possible that this native recovery file has been compromised by my virus?

    Default: can it be fixed using an installation of LAN, and if so, could someone point me to instructions? (My BIOS allows booting from LAN, but not USB, which is irritating).

    Any other suggestions would be welcome.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    First of all you will not be able to use the Toshiba Recovery disk if you cannot use the CD/DVD drive.
    Why? Because you need to boot from the CD of recovery if you want to install windows from the CD from Toshiba.

    You ask how to boot from LAN?
    Well friend; I doubt that you will be able to do.
    First of all that this could be possible only if you have a RIS server.
    The Remote Installation Services can be installed optionally on Microsoft Windows 2000 Server, Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008.

    It's really complicated and not easy for someone who has never done.
    If you want you can google a little how to create REEFS but in my opinion it s advisable to buy and compatible CD/DVD drive because the STRANGE can also be used for other purposes

    Hey Buddy

    What to say first of all that you will get not the official drivers for this laptop for Windows 7 or Vista.
    This laptop is oldie and I doubt that pilots will be released.

    By reading this forum threads I've noticed that most of the user using the driver on Win 7 OS Vista.
    Maybe you should google for Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista on Windows 7 driver

  • Satellite Pro L10 reconstruction from scratch

    I need to rebuild a Satellite Pro L10 from scratch:

    Model PSL15E-00U003EN number
    Serial number: X 5137966

    I tried the recovery disc, no joy, LAN and wireless both give "limited or no connectivity."
    So I tried to reload Windows with a disc of Microsoft, always "connectivity limited or not.
    So I downloaded all the drivers.
    I rebooted the LAN and wireless drivers, and the modem driver and a few others to heal the yellow "?" in the Device Manager

    What to do next? Do I need another driver? I tried the Toshiba Recovery disk and loading Windows 'vanilla '. It's starting to look like a hardware problem, and I suspect that my last resort is to recreate the PC from scratch. A few questions:

    1. is there a complete list of drivers somewhere?
    2. in what order should I load drivers etc?

    Ideally, I would like to leave the non-essential elements, so I have a 'standard' windows install.

    Any help gratefully received.
    Simon.

    Hello

    already checked your network connection on the side of the router? May be some settings in your router are not correctly defined, or perhaps a few other computers on your network is involved with your Satellite L10.
    Please check your computer to another, well-known to the work network and ensure that the machine has also limited connectivity to ensure that it could be a hardware failure.

    Please give some feedback.

  • Satellite Pro L10: BIOS passwords again

    Hello!

    Tonight one of my friends brought me his Satellite Pro L10 and asked me to remove the user password, cose she dislikes grasp every time... OK, it's very simple! -I said. I went to the BIOS with the same password, found the supervisor password option and turn off the power. I could not enter the user password option and left him, thinking I'll fix this later... Well...

    Can you imagine how I was surprised when the system says - password invalid! More... I tried to go back to the BIOS, but system asked me a password... but I deleted "Supervisor password" well, I typed the old one and it does not again!

    Ok. Of course, later, I found the manual for this Satellite Pro L10, I know that it might be preferable to use the Toshiba Console and Toshiba HWSetup could be.

    Tell me, please, supervisor password had priority, and now she has to remember his user password?
    Or there is something else?

    Thank you!

    I studied a bit on the Toshiba knowledge site (it s very useful and interesting) and found this knowledge base article:

    Check it out. Maybe it helps.

    Additional, as I know if is not the BIOS password, you cannot delete it by yourself. Only the service guys are able to remove unknown BIOS password.

  • WLan signal is poor and often loses connection - Satellite Pro L10

    I have a Satellite Pro L10 and a home network, where I used two Belkin and Netgear Routers ADSL Wireless.
    My L10 always reports very low signal and often loses the signal unless I'm VERY close to the router.
    I have three laptops and a desktop at home and they all have very high or excellent signal.

    I changed my router and even installed a Netgear wireless card in the L10 (in case there is a problem with the Intel Pro/Wireless 2200BG, but he pointed out again and again a weak signal.

  • Satellite Pro L10: How the WLAN status to be always on?

    We have laptops Satellite Pro L10 at school. The button on the front of the machines that allows you to disable the WiFi network is a real pain because it's one extra thing to go wrongwhilst trying to get a laptop to access our network wireless school.

    Is there anyway to disable this button so that laptops will still access wireless networks accessible to the general public?
