Satellite Pro L670 - 14 p set to upgrade to Windows 8 - ATI obsolete Driver

Hello

Recently installed Windows 8 as part of a system dual boot on my laptop. I try to play one of the games I usually play on Windows 7 to find that it would not even start that graphics drivers have been exceeded. I tried the Toshiba site for compatible drivers, to find new laptops supported... I looked around the internet and there is no mention of compatible drivers Windows 8 for the L670 - 14 p.

I know that Toshiba had to do with their money, but is it really possible for them to expect the average bettor to by a new laptop to each time a new OS comes out?

As I have dual boot, its not really big a problem, since I can go back to 7, but what your least techincally concerned of their customers, who have installed Windows 8 on capable computers, but the woeful lack of driver updates has now made that deal with a nightmare for them?

I've always bought Toshiba, since I use my laptop for both business and pleasure... my old Tosh, a satellite is still going strong, no problem at all... but I'm afraid of Toshiba's indifference to driver updates is staggering, especially for modern machines. Disability and myopia not completely recognize a new major OS on the release for example Win 8 is quiet frankly pathetic...

I'm sure that other manufacturers of laptop that actually update their drivers will be grateful for the business of Toshiba

> I looked around the internet and there is no mention of compatible drivers Windows 8 for the L670 - 14 p.

I found info on the books to earn 8 supported:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

As you can see the L670 isn't in the list, so win 8 pilots won't come out for this device.

> I know that Toshiba had to do with their money, but is it really possible for them to expect the average bettor to by a new laptop to each time a new OS comes out?

It of just my personal opinion, but I recommend that you check the pages of other computer manufacturers products every manufacturer out new computer models on a regular basis and this is not new systems available.

If you check the upgrade matrix to win 8, you will see a series of portable over older models which will be get the Win 8 drivers of course it s always pity to see this model of laptop clean is not a part of these updates.

With regard to the display driver:
You can use a page of ATI or some pages of 3rd pilot part like omegadriver.net for example

  • Fan is always running on my Satellite Pro L670-17R

    Hi all

    First of all, I'm french, so excuse me for my poor English. I'll try to explain my problem. I've just bought a satellite Pro L670-17R, core i5 450, ati 5650.

    As I only work with the word or surf the web, fan runs always every two minutes. I checked the temperature of the processor (with pc health monitor from toshiba), and it gives me 37 ° C which seem quite normal.
    I'm trying to change an option in the Panel, but without success, anything in the bios, to set the speed of the fan over the CPU usage.

    If you have any ideas or suggestions, it would be great.

    If you want to reduce the speed of the fan cooling use the balanced power plan and go into the advanced power settings.
    Energy saving of Toshiba you will find the option called cooling method. Assign the optimised battery.
    Cooling fan should run on low speed.

  • New Satellite Pro L670 - 14 M turns on if the charger is plugged?

    Hi all

    New to the forum so grateful for any help on this matter.

    I bought a brand new laptop Satellite Pro L670 - 14 M last week. Now it works fine up until today. The last time that I used it while just running the battery was Monday night. I was working on the laptop, send email etc. today, and I decided to change rooms. For some reason, I still have to discover that I disconnected the charger from the wall (instead of simply unplug the charger from the laptop) so that it was plugged into the laptop and the laptop just turned off much to my shock. It was sparking that I saw the decision-making that I removed the CAP, but now the laptop lights not unless supply current is connected. If I unplug the charger, the computer does not illuminate.

    Now, my first thought is I (crossed beams) killed the battery, but the strange thing is, when the laptop is plugged in and turned on and I'm on my screen and I click on the battery icon in the taskbar it States 94% available (plugged in, load)

    While I wait for some answers I hope I shut down the laptop and leave the charger plugged in to see if the battery has loaded more than 94%

    Hello

    I think that the BIOS update would be worth a try in your case. Take a look at the Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    But before you start the update: make sure that you are logged on as administrator and close all running programs. Unzip all files from zip archive first.
    After update successful BIOS load default settings in the BIOS.

    Are you using the original Toshiba battery and AC adapter or they are 3rd parties gone?

  • Vista drivers for new Satellite Pro L670 - 14L

    So I have been serching for a laptop of decent game and found: Toshiba Satellite Pro L670 - 14L to be a good combination power/price
    but after reading some reviews, I discovered that many people's complaint that the toshiba drivers are not updated.
    that seems to be true because the latest drivers for my P300 with 4500 m are 2008!

    So, I checked for L670 Vista display drivers and did not find one! Even for Win7 do not seem old already,
    is that mean Toshiba is not compatible Vista more? I have to use windows 7 only?

    I can see in the specifications of the laptop your laptop came with WIN7 64 BITS HOME PREMIUM.
    Can you confirm this?

    Why are you asking about the Vista drivers if you got the new OS to Win7. You want to use Vista or what?
    I want to say Win7 is much better than old Vista OS so I put t understand what you exactly want. To use Vista or you ask here for more recent WIn7 display driver?

  • Satellite Pro L670 - 11 d and Dynadock U10 problem re-docking station

    This my first post on this forum - I hope I have the right category.

    We have a user with a Satellite Pro L670 - 11 d attached to a port replicator Dynadock U10 USB.

    Everything seems fine, except when press us the disconnect button (or select eject Dock) the laptop leaves the great.
    However when we try to anchor (for example after a meeting of bureau) it does not recognize the usb connection and docking station won't. We usually have to restart at this point. We are attentive to reconnect to the same usb port.

    Has anyone seen this problem and know a fix?

    Thank you

    David

    Hello

    Have you noticed this problem only under this Dynadock U10 or perhaps with the external USB HDD too?
    In my opinion, it sounds a bit like the issue of the BONE and not like the Dynadock question.

    I would recommend this control by using a USB HDD.
    Connect the USB HDD to the USB port as well.
    Then, disconnect the USB HDD and unplug the laptop HARD drive. Reconnect the HARD drive and check if the HARD drive would be connected again.
    If the same thing would happen with HARD drive, you should check the USB port
    Maybe the chipset driver will need to be updated

    But if the HARD drive is raccorderaient ok and if the question does not seem to be using the HARD drive, then, it would be necessary to check the Dynadock maybe reinstall the Dynadock from the software again.

  • Which hard drive Solid State for Satellite Pro L670?

    I have a Satellite Pro L670, I need to configure for presentation and having to re - load operating system anyway.

    Rather than write the existing drive too much, I thought that it would be best to get a second to adapt instead.
    Replace the current (obsolete) rotation drive with a solid state, it seems to me the best way to go.
    Has anyone equipped with a hard drive to a Satellite Pro?

    For budget reasons, I plan to go for a capacity of 120 GB that will be enough.

    However, I've yet to discover at Toshiba they could recommend. Anyone else gone this route?

    Hello

    Theoretically, any SATA SSD drive should be compatible because the laptop supports a SATA controller.
    But in some cases, it might be possible that an SSD would not be treated properly. In such cases, SDD drive manufacturers provide different firmware updates

    So before buying an SSD drive check the support pages of the manufacturers of SSDS for more details would perhaps have a firmware update

  • Satellite Pro L670-103 screen is dark - external monitor ok

    Hello

    Screen goes black in my Satellite Pro L670-103 while playing games. It is not completely off, but very very dark.
    System is activated and works while its happening. No flickering, changing colors.
    On the external monitor (TV via HDMI) everything works fine (so I guess that the GPU is very well).

    The beginning I had to restart the laptop and screen was once again but now it does not work and I have to wait a few more hours a sound goes on again just by itself (im leaving laptop on).

    I only use the approved oryginal drivers.
    System Windows 7 pro 64
    I guessed it might be the display inverter, but someone from the point of laptop repair told me that because my screen is RUN there is no converter and problem is with the screen itself.

    I spent hours reading various forums and UPS has been my best guess.

    Post edited by: Cezar_1

    Hello

    I think that its problem of converter FL.
    The FL inverter controls the backlight of the internal display.
    I think I get m with my suggestions because the external monitor looks ok.
    So it may not be a driver issue not a GPU problem

  • Satellite Pro L670-16Z - XP installation after using Windows 7?

    Regards to all forums. I'm new here.

    Next week I should get a new pc, * Satellite Pro L670-16Z *. I have a few questions.

    * 1. * If, during some weeks, use my computer with Windows 7, after that I can downgrade to Windows XP?

    * 2 if I downgrade to XP, you can reinstall Windows 7 new?
    Thank you for the replay.

    If you want to reinstall Windows 7, you must first create the recovery disk. There should be an icon on the desktop. Use good quality DVD discs since those of poor quality can cause errors during recovery.

    To install XP, you buy XP in a store (which may be difficult).

    You can run XP in Windows 7 Professional or higher using a Virtual Machine.

    Does anyone know this laptop came with to downgrade the BIOS version? Also, if I reinstall windows will I receive a new bios version or will it would not affected?

    Hey,.

    Did you download and install the correct version of the BIOS of your laptop? Satellite Pro L670-18F belongs to the series of PSK3FE AFAIK, so have you chosen BIOS for this series of model?

    In addition I recommend you load the default settings in the BIOS. Just press F9 key if you are in the BIOS Setup.

    If you reinstall Windows, the BIOS will not be affected. BIOS and Windows are different, you will always have the latest version of the even you change your operating system.
