Satellite Pro L10 problem with Ports COM/Hyperterminal & Bluetooth

Hello
I have the following problems with the above machine:

(1) I have attached an external series COM port to the machine. However, I can not connect to the COM Port using Hyperterminal.
(2) I installed a Bluetooth USB adapter, but I can't view the protocol configuration.

Each of the above works perfectly with another laptop that doesn't have a Bluetooth or even a network card.

Everyone has experienced similar problems. I use WinXP SP2.

Thank you

MC

Hello

1, in which is the external COM port connected? Is detected in a straight path in Device Manager? What is the error msg to Hyperterminal?
When connected via PCMCIA, try to change the settings for PCMCIA slot in the BIOS!

2, try to reinstall the Toshiba Bluetooth stack! There may be some problems. The MS Bluetooth stack does not work properly with the Toshiba devices and one of the earlier Toshiba Bluetooth stack is not signed by Windows XP Service Pack 2!

  • Satellite Pro L10-103 - USB ports not working not

    Hi, my Satellite Pro L10 - 103 USB Ports do not work. I tried different things and finally my Advisor rubbed my computer clean of all programs and operating system. After reloading of the set up disc and having lost my dear some programs I am no further forward. It still does not.

    Anyone know if this means that it is a mechanical problem with the computer? (I use Windows XP). Your help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hey Buddy,

    As wrote Akuma did you use the Toshiba Recovery disk or the Microsoft Windows disk?

    After installing XP, make sure that Service Pack 3 is installed. It contains important updates and can be downloaded on the official page of Toshiba.

    In addition, try to remove all the USB ports on the Device Manager, restart the computer. Ports will still be recognized and ready to use once.

    Hello

    I have no idea what happened after installing Microsoft Security Essentials, but it seems that you are not able to access the files on the HARD drive
    I think you need to reinstall the operating system using HARD drive recovery.

    In order to save the files from the HARD drive, I recommend using / boot from a bootable floppy from Win PE.
    Win PE (also called BartPE) is a thin window OS that is bootable CD and don t need to be installed on the HARD drive.

  • Satellite Pro C850 - problems with WiFi after Windows update 8.1

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could give some advice on a problem I have.

    Had an adjustable C850 Pro for a few months and worked well on Windows 8.
    I myself am then harassed and intimidated by Microsoft Update in order to install Windows 8.1 and in a moment of weakness, I succumbed (got sick of the nagging).

    Since that time, my wifi is very intermittent; either I'm on another computer write this and the laptop is essentially not connected to the internet.

    For some reason any (although I didn't try it before), I can not connect via ethernet either, so I think it's probably the driver problems. (I also tried to connect the public wifi but fails).

    I tried to install the driver WiFi Toshiba 8.1 but that has not solved the problem.
    Then I noticed that I'm supposed to install a bunch of drivers in the order.

    Maximum setting to do it, but the first package (associated with bluetooth) said I have to remove the current driver... I try by "turning off", then "Uninstall" but 8.1 seems to re - install automatically and I don't know how to disable this option (I can try to delete the driver file, I guess, but I'm sure 8.1 covered too and will probably launch a drone to try me out ", if I do). *

    Any kind soul there suggestions on a way forward? Pls.

    I see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now. :(

    Hello

    > I don't see in the instructions of Toshiba Windows Update 8.1 should I have uninstalled the drivers before the update, but there is not much I can do about it now

  • 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.
    I recommend this thread:

    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 A100 - problems with wireless lan networks

    Hey all,.

    I have a problem with my laptop. It is able to connect to a wireless lan network, but is not able to properly - use this conection means: he do not get connection to Web sites or download data...
    I already have the latest drivers, but it's not helping...
    You have an idea? Could this be a problem with my wireless LAN card? What can I do?

    Thanks in advance

    Have you tried a BIOS update?
    This you will find also on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com

    You have disabled all the security features for testing?
    I mean hidden SSID, MAC address filtering and so far. Maybe that's the problem.

    Check also if the router has the new firmware. You can find it on the site of the factory

  • Satellite Pro P300 - problem with volume control

    Hello

    I have a problem with my volume control. He worked for the first two months of use value, but now refuses to lower the sound.
    He sort of stutters and actually transforms the sound upward when you turn, he 'left' to drop.

    I markets DEAMS it is a digital control and therefore is not a point 'end' like other laptops. I also noticed others are experieicing this problem.

    Is there a solution to this problem? I don't really like having to manually click on the volume control in the status bar on the window in order to be able to turn the laptop down. Maybe someone can help me?

    Thanks in advance.
    Sam

    Hello

    In your case, I recommend reinstalling the audio driver and controls (with Win XP) Toshiba or Toshiba VAP (if Vista is installed).
    In addition, you should check if the BIOS can be updated too.

    Sorry for this suggestion, but in my opinion that the question must be related software and the fact is that driver sound and the VAP multimedia button controls and the sound card.

    It of certainly worth a try

  • Satellite Pro M70 - problems with installed after Realtek sound

    Long story - but due to lack of disk space, my son removed some directories and lost avisnon sound. He seems to have deleted Realtek and Adobe Flash Player.

    Have reistallede the two but once installed Realtek there is a sharp wail when the PC is shut down and restarted AND when something is played on iPlayer or YouTube - the image isn't smooth either - very choppy. If I uninstall Realtek image on the iPlayer is good - but no sound. I installed Realtek numerus sites with the same result. The sound is OK on Spotify, for example.

    Unfortunately impossible to restore to before that he made the deletion - no doubt, he had no space to make a point of control.

    Thank you

    I decided to revive my old laptop Toshiba SP 4280 but failed to get the system because he wants me a passowrd initially.
    I have tryied to get out a map of Moser for 24 hours battery - but it did not help.
    I tried a few passwords backdoor, like Toshiba, toshy99, but it did not help.

    What can I do?

    BTW, I can't get into the BIOS Setup and select the source of loading (Hard, FD or CD) because I have to enter a password first.

    Thank you very much!

    Hey,.

    Unfortunately, I don't think that an authorized service provider can help you get rid of the password because they have special tools to do and how to do it. Maybe some jumpers must be defined, but I put t know

  • Satellite Pro L10 - problem installing Win XP

    The installation goes beyond area license etc, but with 24 minutes remaining, it prompts with:

    Found new harware Wizard: the wizard will help you install software for 'System '. It then ask for a location for the driver.
    It is safe to do not find it on the XP cd I (which is a real homepage of the XP CD)

    Pointers?
    Thank you
    SID

    Win XP asking XP drivers because it was material that requires the driver
    First of all, I would not use the wizard of Win XP but I would look for unknown devices in Device Manager and then I would install the necessary drivers that you can find on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I think you should download all the drivers XP of the page and should install it!

  • On Satellite Pro A300-13Y USB port problem

    I have a Satellite Pro A300-13Y with 4 USB ports. The USB ports of two right don t work. I bought this phone recently (2-3 weeks ago). It has a Windows Vista Business SP1 on it. I put chip in utility installed on it, I checked the Device Manager and tried to find driver for it but I couldn't solve this problem.

    So I called Toshiba service dek, they say that I need to install new standard to factory install to see if it can be solved. But I don t find it the best way and I have some applications installed on it and get some info on my laptop, so I would find another way to solve this problem.

    Also, I think it might be a hardware problem. Can someone show the way in which I can find or fix this? I can also send it to guarantee, but I made a mistake and if there is not a hardware problem that I have to pay for it.

    Hello

    I know it s not the best way, but it's the only way to exclude a hardware failure. If after a recovery of the won´t of USB ports not work then you can send it to repair without being in doubt that they will charge you for the repair.

  • 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

    Clicking on something takes forever. What's wrong?
    Need less to say that with vista no and I mean none, of my devices are busy. Dongle Bluetooth, USB disk, printer, NAS, and and...

    Hey dude,

    Please don t forget that Vista has been installed on your laptop and the additional tools of Toshiba and the utilities that control many additional features!
    There is a huge difference between Vista and early Microsoft operating systems.

    The Vista eat computer resources and many devices old don t work or cannot be installed because the 3rd device manufacturers don t provide Vista drivers!

    In my opinion an upgrade to 2 GB ram would increases the performance of laptop.
    All programs and utilities could be loaded more quickly
