• Satellite Pro M15-S405 - no sound on XP

  Several weeks ago my Satellite Pro M15-S405 lost all sound. No error message appears anywhere and everything looks good (on where should be and resolved volumes okay, etc..) I tried to download the current audio drivers (SoundMAX) on the Toshiba site and reinstall them, but that did not help.

  I go to the principle, at this stage, that it updates of Windows caused the problem; but I could be wrong. I looked everywhere for an answer. Someone on this site has a suggestion about what to do about this situation?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  > I suppose, at this point, that is the updates of Windows caused the problem
  Well, your guess could be good!

  Why you n t update and install the patches Microsoft Web site as a whole?
  Visit this site to MS and it will check if some patches are missing:

• Satellite Pro A60 - Windows XP shows / use only a part of RAM available

  Hello guys!

  I am facing strange problems with one of my two A60s. I just upgraded two of them with 1024 MB of RAM the same. One works perfectly, but the other will show me only 410 MBs in Windows. The BIOS indicates the correct size. I changed the RAM from one to the other, but this strange error is always present. The version of the BIOS has been updated to 1.90 and has Windows XP SP2.

  Do you have any suggestions or ideas? Is there an easy way to put the management of RAM in Windows?

  Thank you in advance!

  Ralf

  It s very strange.
  I found that an additional Satellite Pro A60 info has been delivered with a different hardware configuration.
  Some A60 Pro comes with an internal memory of 512 MB and others with only 256 MB internal memory.
  In addition, the internal memory modules cannot be deleted and there is only one slot for memory upgrade.

  But I put t know why the OS shows only 410 MB

  Oh, I forgot to mention that the graphics card, also use the part of the main memory and, therefore, the operating system of shared memory could indicates a value of different memory.

• Satellite Pro P300-145 - sound of frying with my headphones

  Hello!

  I have a Satellite Pro P300-145 and today I started noticing a noise of frying with my headphones. I tested my headphones in a different laptop and they sound good and if I play the same files with my speakers it sounds good too so I was wondering if you knew what could be the reason.

  I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Hi Andunemir,

  What operating system you are using? You use Windows or Linux?
  In addition, it would be interesting to know if this happens only with headphones/external speakers or portable speakers internal too. You can test this please?

  > I have to say I kept the laptop doesn't work for quite a lot this weekend and he got more than warm so I dunno if that could be causing it in the first place.
  The temperature of the laptop is enough depending on the applications that you are running. High CPU and graphic card use causes a higher temperature.

  But it s also advised to clean the system at any time using a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans and the laptop is much cooler after that. I do it every 3 months because I use my laptop every day. If I do that, I followed these instructions:

• Satellite Pro P200 - 1KE Vista loses contact with the second internal HARD drive

  Vista Business SP2. I have a Satellite Pro P200-1KE, with two 160 GB drives: a Hitachi configured as C: (operating system, programs, etc.) and E: (data, other programs). The second is a Toshiba MK1637GSX. This little about it and nothing of any importance and is normally configured as d. Unfortunately this hard drive has now become invisible to Vista, although it is still recognized by BIOS and Device Manager. In managing computer does not appear in the list in the upper pane, it comes without a letter from reader below. I have tried everything I know to get recognized, including the following:
  (In no particular order):

  * Remove computer - managed, reset as a single Volume: it always fails
  * Reformat to NTFS using Linux GParted or utility disk Linux (via a USB stick with Linux ice Peppermint on that nerd), sometimes combined with the restoration of the system - it works, but only for a single session. She always disappears again when you restart
  * Remove the driver from Device Manager and pointing plug-and-play with Windows System 32 and Windows Update - which seems to return the driver - but does not recognized disk, unfortunately
  * Meanwhile, throughout all this, Vista insists on finding a driver for "unknown device" that she sometimes found and (allegedly) installs and sometimes find one fails to install.

  Bah!

  Anyone know anything else I can try - preferably without having to reinstall the entire operating system, or run the risk of using Toshiba Hardware Setup that does not seem to come with all the instructions and enigmatic, who wonder if I want to delete stuff 'selected', without showing me what kind of things I am alleged to have selected for removal!

  If this second HDD is not so important to try to start the original installation disk Microsoft (Vista or Win7) to see if the second HDD will be recognized for the installation procedure.
  You can also try to install Win7 on this second HDD to see if the installation is correctly finalized. Later, you can check if you can start the second HARD drive preinstalled OS.

  Test just to see if this problem is related to Vista only.

• Satellite Pro A300 - 1 GR - VGA ports with TV-out function?

  Hello

  Can someone tell me if the VGA port on my Satellite Pro A300-1 (Mobile Intel GMA 4500MHD) is equipped with TV-out function?

  If a single cable is needed to connect with TV's S-video input while a TV-out function is not available, then a relatively expensive converter is necessary?

  Any help will be greatly appreciated.

  Have you checked the user manual?

  There is a problem with the FN key on the keyboard, it does not work. I don't know if this has something to do with the downgrade xp?

  Any ideas please?

  If you have downgraded to Windows XP with the Microsoft disk, you must install the utilities Toshiba and Hotkey Utility.
  This is necessary for the FN keys in Windows XP to check for these utilities from Toshiba Web site:

• Satellite Pro A200: There's a problem with my screen

  Hi all

  I wonder if anyone can help. Just got a Toshiba Satellite Pro A200, when I cleaned the screen, I noticed that in the Middle at the top (the part under the webcam) pushes a little and squeaks. It's not normal, I'm wrong?

  Help, please!
  Thanks in advance,
  David

  It's not easy to tell if it of normal or not in most of the cases the ASP must check the notebook and then the technician could decide if a part needs to be replaced

  I recommend you contact the ASP in your country and ask for details as well as a control of the laptop.

  Good luck

• Satellite Pro 4600: sometimes applications stop running with the new RAM

  Hi all

  I was wondering if anyone out there can shed some light on my problem. I've recently upgraded for an extra 256 MB on my Satellite Pro 4600. The laptop showed the increase in RAM. Since the installation, for some reason any after running for awhile applications (this varies between 10 minutes to a few hours like laptop start up), applications stop running. I can not open new applications. When I restart, I can run the applications in my laptop as usual again.

  I received my offtek RAM. Manufacturer part number is the same as specified in the manual of my laptop.

  Please someone has an idea?

  Mocha

  Hello

  Please check the number of PA of the 256 MB chip, the number of PA is properly PA3005U - 1 M 12.

• 5200-903-this satellite that is possible to equip it with 2 GB of RAM

  I have a question about RAM fitted to a Toshiba Satellite 5200 903.
  Is it possible to equip with 2 GB of RAM?

  I already tried, but Windows XP Pro not more start telling me that the BIOS (1.40) is not ACPI compliant. (with blue screen)
  but with 1 GB of RAM (1 Bank), it runs without quarrels...
  Or is the BIOS-based issue.

  I read in some forums that he is supposed to take up to 2048 MB (2 GB) of RAM...

  I use a Kingston ValueRAM (2x1GB)

  Hello

  According to Toshiba, you can use a maximum of 1 GB of RAM.
  But I know that sometimes a laptop no longer accepts that. Maybe it's the associated BIOS.

  Good bye

• Satellite A660 - 11 M: does not start with 8 GB of RAM, but works with 6 GB

  Satellite A660 - 11 M:

  I upgraded my RAM to 4 GB (2x2gb) up to 8 GB (2x4gb). When I start the computer I can see in the BIOS it reads 8 GB of RAM. However, when starting, it does not go beyond the white screen BACK (just before Windows starts).

  If I delete one of the 4 GB & replace it with a 2 GB (so I have 6 GB total) it starts ok.

  Anyone know how I can get it to work with 8 GB of RAM?

  Hey,.

  To be honest, I've never heard of RAM SanMax modules...
  In my opinion the problem is related to your RAM modules is not compatible to your laptop or defective.

  You can test it with high-quality Kingston or prétestées authorized service modules?

• Satellite Pro M15-S405 blocks runnig the bars of memory

  My M15 is to have something wrong with the memory. When I try to run the two modules at the same time the computer has errors and crashes. I can swap the memory he mods 1-the time and the two seams to work fine alone, but when both are in the same mistakes and accidents...

  But the usahly of errors do not occur until it worked for 5-10 minutes when I install them. I think it's something to do with the slot B but I was wondering especially if I had to buy a single 512 MB module if I could run just that he buy se that it's all that I really need to be able to use the laptop. Or it will only cause more problems on the road?

  Also if theres anything anyone can think I might try short take in get expensive repairs I understand that as well.

  Hello

  Some time ago I updated my old M40 with the new 1024 MB module.
  The old 512 MB module has been inserted into A slot and the new module 1024 MB has been inserted in the slot B.

  After the upgrade, I got a different error messages and BSOD.
  This had never happen with only 512 MB module.

  I thought the new 1024Mo defective module. But then I changed the modules and inserted the 512 MB in the slot B and has 1024MB in the slot.
  It's a key. Since the switch of the laptop module works very well.

  Well, what I must tell you might try to check the memory using the freeware like Memorytest86. It can be downloaded for free.
  As mentioned above, you can also try to use both modules in different locations.

  But there is also a possibility that two modules may not work together because of compatibility issues.
  In this case the replacement might help. I advise to use 2 similar modules.

• Satellite Pro A210 - how to retrieve it with the recovery disk lost?

  I had some problems with my individual Pro A210 (AMD Athlon 64 x 2, Vista, 120 GB of HDD, 2 GB of RAM), and it seems that I did the recovery disks when new and you have misplaced them.

  What can I do?

  The hard disk should have a recovery Partition.

  Try holding down the zero (0) key when you turn on the laptop, this should start the recovery process.

  If this does not work, press F8 rapidly after the Toshiba start screen to enter in the Windows Start menu, where you can choose to run the recovery/restore.
