• Satellite Pro A100 very slow, especially at the start

  Hi, I just bought a laptop Satellite Pro A100. In general, I'm very happy with it, but I find it very slow especially at startup. It may take more than 5 minutes to be completely started.

  Are there settings or settings that I can do to fix this?

  Hello

  I agree with the previous user of the forum. I often heard that Norton slows down the system quickly. Try to remove it and test it again.

• Satellite Pro U300 very slow opening programs

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite Pro U300 in February 2008 and I only use it 3 - 4 times since then... It is very slow at the opening of the programs (I have only one statistical program installed) and Web pages and creates problems when I try to download other programs that have a different version of Windows Vista.
  I really regretted buying this phone and I'm looking for someone to sell.

• Satellite Pro 6100: very slow recharge battery

  I bought a new battery pack for my Satellite Pro 6100 because my old Battery Pack loaded very slowly, about 5 per cent in 12 hours. But it turns out that my other one has the same problem.
  The problem may be the charger or the laptop.
  I already tried to unload the batteries fully.
  Can someone help me.

  Hello

  It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you use the new battery pack and the problem is there, it is possible that electronic power on your laptop is not working properly.

• Satellite Pro P300 - very slow WiFi connection

  Toshibe Satellite Pro P300 with built in the Atheros AR9281 wireless.

  Running Windows 7.

  ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

  BIOS 2.5

  All the latest versions of the drivers installed including the driver Atheros 8.0.0.225.0 wireless.

  Wireless is annoying...

  Sometimes fails to find the router (Belkin 54g, connected to the Modem cable Motorola (Virgin B/B is the access provider, 10 Mbps)).

  When he finds, connects ok, but sometimes it is impossible to browse web pages - just behave as if there is no connection.

  Bit torrent works also very slowly (in general 0.5Mbit / s depending on the number of peers etc.). Not a port forwarding issue with the router - using utorrent that indicates that the relevant port is open.

  When I connect to the router with an ethernet cable, everything works a treat - much faster and rock solid connection. uTorrent has no hit 10Mbit/s problem at all.

  Any suggestions?

  Thank you very much...

  Alan.

  Hello

  You should first check if your BIOS is up to date.
  If an older version of BIOS is installed then you could update the BIOS.

  It is also advisable to update the installed WLan driver.
  Here, you can check the available WLan drivers:

• My Toshiba Satellite is suddenly very slow to start.

  I had this problem last October and found a solution really simple online that worked perfectly, but I don't remember what I did!  It was very quick and easy, and according to me, it had to do with the deletion of something that has been fully in the registry... not the cache.  Someone has an idea?  I have no virus or spyware problems and my computer's hard drive has plenty of space and is regularly defragmented.

  ===========================================

  Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded
  on your system. For each driver in the list, additional useful information is
  Poster: load address of the driver, description, version, product name,.
  company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit Maker as replacements and system manufacturer of device which are
  the most recent. Control Panel - write - graphics card - device manager
  the brand and complete model of your video card - double click - tab of the driver-
  Note the version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this can do nothing
  MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard
  If there are 3rd party with their own software and drivers and the other main device drivers
  you have.

  Now, go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restore)
  and site (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get the manufacturer and device
  their latest versions. (Look for the system to update the BIOS, Chipset and software updates
  Site of the manufacturer here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN -.
  REBOOT after each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you are
  installation actually appears. This is because that some rollback of drivers before the
  later is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a driver - reboot.
  Make sure that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW to the device makers DO NOT RUN THEIR
  SCANNER - check manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.
  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/driverssupport/HT/driverdlmfgr.htm

  Installation and update of drivers under Windows 7 (updated drivers manually using
  the above methods is preferable to ensure the latest drivers from the manufacturer of system
  and device manufacturers are located)
  http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/43216-installing-updating-drivers-7-a.html

  If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable driver facilities
  in the updates of Windows, which leaves on Windows updates, but it will not be installed
  pilots who are generally older and cause problems. If updates provides a new
  driver then hide it (right click on it) and then go get new ones manually if
  you want.

• Satellite Pro L20 does not start

  I have a new satellite pro L20 M750
  does not start
  the thing is since the first time I tried to start it it would not start.
  I bought it over the internet and is still brand new in the plastic bag, would there be anything to make this power for the first time or it is defective.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  Did you check if the AC adapter is working properly?
  Initially, the battery is not charged. You must connect the power adapter to recharge the battery.

• Satellite Pro L20 starts white plus-ecran

  When I turn on my Satellite Pro L20 headlights light up and I can hear the fan noise but no picture.
  I haven't tried with external display, same no picture.
  I removed the ram to test the motherboard no beep and always the same screen dark.

  What is the motherboard or something else?

  Help, please

  There is definitely a hardware problem.
  But as you know it's not easy to make a diagnosis.

  This looks like a motherboard or CPU problem maybe. The two parts can be damaged.

  I think you don't have a lot of possibilities.
  You can try to contact the ASP in your country and may ask for verification of the laptop.

  Best regards

• Satellite Pro L20 does not illuminate

  Hope you can help. We have a 5 years satellite pro L20 who never gave a lot of days. It runs from Win XP, had an upgrade (crucial) memory to 2 GB and a new battery 4 years ago 4 years ago. 2 days ago, he simply left with the same noise you get when force a shutdown by holding the power button down. I tried to boot with no battery, just the sector and only on a charged battery. All to nothing does not.

  I then read the button of power with the battery and removed sector I did after leaving it overnight. When I replaced the battery it started as usual and lasted 30 seconds before turning off again, and then he was dead. I have tried all combinations with the ram up to 1 stick or kidnapped and attempted to get the bios with the HDD outside as well. Still nothing.

  I noticed that when I put the battery in 2 of the 3 flashes briefly, and now the button of pwer while pushing the battery causes a brief start 4 seconds.

  Any ideas as to what this may be? I suspect that the hardware and software. Also, I tried a different power adapter, once again no results. It stays just off.

  Thanks for any help...

  Hello

  I'm afraid it looks like a serious m hardware problem
  My first idea was a malfunction of the RAM in such a case, you could replace and test the memory, but it seems that you have already tried

  In my view there s something wrong with a motherboard or a part on the motherboard :(
  In this case I n t think a replacement of the motherboard would be useful since this part is very expensive

• Blocking number on Satellite Pro L20 problem

  We have about 60 Satellite Pro L20s on a network. When the user starts the computer sometimes they start with the number lock on. Its seems to be worse on some than others. It is very annoying because it causes problems with logon.

  Is it possible to disable the locking function of the number on these laptops?

  Thank you

• Satellite Pro L20: Wireless connection is not reliable

  Hello

  We have some Toshiba laptops in the office.

  However, the wireless on our most recent purchase (Satellite Pro L20) installation is very reliable. Periodically he loses sight of the network without apparent reason.

  We have the device permanently connected, and the problem can occur even when the machine is in the middle of copying files to and from the network server.

  The actual wireless access point is within a few feet of distance (in view), so I can't imagine there is a problem of signal strength. Can anyone offer me any guidance?

  I don't know where to start on this one there...

  TIA

• Satellite Pro L20: Showing empty after waking up from hibernation

  I've had my laptop Satellite Pro L20 a year now and it has been slowing recently, especially when starting after being in hibernation mode.

  It is even now not return back. I had placed it in hibernation, and then when I tried to turn it on again, it hummed as if it was put into service, but the screen remains blank.

  I don't think that he is in communication with the rest of the laptop. I tried to restart it several times but I still can't out of his inactive hibernation mode and the monitor simply unresponsive.

  Any help would be appreciated kindly!

  Hello

  > I've had my laptop Satellite Pro L20 a year now and it has been slowing recently,.
  Maybe you should clean the HARD drive and also use defragmentation application to optimize the data saved on the HARD drive.

  Back to your problem: I don't know if this will help, but you can try to do the BIOS update or install the latest driver from Toshiba support page display.

• Satellite Pro L20 - DOS based Flash BIOS?

  Satellite Pro L20 - DOS based Flash BIOS?
  Anyone know where I can download this?

  The BIOS download page gives you only the Winflash & I need to Flash this laptop backpack... are installed Safeboot in NHS policy & I'm now stuck on the keyboard & touchpad, have you tried a USB keyboard without success.

  SafeBoot is a disk encryption package which initializes windows to start so I am unable to use Winflash.
  May need to find an operating system on a bootable CD if this based BACK Flash BIOS is not found...

  Hello

  Unfortunately the BIOS from the base of BACK is not available on the European driver Toshiba page and so you will not be able to download it.

  I m not very good if it would be possible, but perhaps a local ASP may be able to provide this version of BIOS Just contact the guy and just ask

  But in my opinion it s advisable to Flash the BIOS using a Win version because it s much safer.
