Satellite Pro P300-276: switch WLan on the front does not work

Hello.

I have a problem with my laptop and would like to receive help or ideas. The switch to forward wireless network adapter does not work.

It works when I push it to the right and keep pushing it. Then light work, he finds the network, and the convenience store told me that everything is working well. When I let go, the light turns off, it can't find the network and the convenience store tells me that I have to put on the wireless network adapter.

I suspect that it is a physical problem and I need to get the machine repaired. But if someone has a quick easy solution or a recommendation, then I would like.

I'm online now using an ethernet cable (via a powerline adapter, which I tend to use anyway). Furthermore, the laptop is great and I love the big screen.

Thanks in advance,

Matthew

Yes, in my opinion, his mechanical problem in something wrong with the switch may be a loser contact

I think that the one and only one solution: laptop must be disassembled and the switch needs to be replaced

But it is not easy and to be honest I advise to use a dongle USB external WiFi instead of paying lots of money to get this replaced change.

    I guess you checked if the Tablet has been properly connected to the docking keyboard.

    Have you tried to unplug and plug the docking again?
    Note: there is a latch on the left you have to move and in order to remove the tablet.

    Perhaps there is a connection problem.

  • Satellite Pro A30: after disk HARD replacing the BIOS does not see DVD or HARD disk

    Hello

    I bought a new Pro A30 of Satellite earlier.
    Shortly after, I noticed the system sometimes
    would freeze, with a rattling of the HD.
    A reboot cold was the only solution.
    I was told to replace the HD I did but the
    problem persisted with the new HD.

    I tried a known working HD and the problem still persisted.
    At this point, the warranty period has increased.
    Frost started happening more regularly, and
    now, the BIOS does not recognize the HD player or DVD.
    It starts and then try to boot from the network,
    because he doesn't have a HD or DVD player.

    At this point, I think I need a new system board.

  • Satellite program-112 P775: HDMI connection to the TV does not work

    Hello

    For some reason that the HDMI connection between my Toshiba Satellite P775 program-112 to LG TV no longer although he did for some time.

    I tried another laptop without problem.

    I posted the same question some time ago and told to press the Fn and F5 keys, but it did not work.

    Any suggestions please?

    You are right: the FN + F5 switches between the internal and external video output.

    What exactly happens when you press FN + F5? A map falsh menu appears on the screen when you use this key combination?

    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the Manager command HDMI. This driver is required for your HDMI controller.
    In the case where the output to HDMI does not work, try reinstalling the driver

  • Satellite L305D-S5895 - keys to functions and the wifi does not work with Win XP

    Hello

    first sorry for my English

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite l305d s5895, with Windows XP, I need a software, but the function keys does not work.
    So I need a driver, but I can't, and wireless internet does not work.

    > Where could it find special XP BIOS?
    In my opinion, there is problem because most threads here are on the European laptop models. then come to question United States. Toshiba Europe and Toshiba U.S. do not work together and each of them is responsible for own models and provide support for specific country notebooks models.

    For most models, so here in Europe Toshiba has offered two BIOS. We were already on the delivered Vista laptops. The Toshiba page download available BIOS for Windows XP Home edition. in most cases, it was version 5. XX and this BIOS was designed to support public services and specific tools of Toshiba. For example, all the FN key features was only available with this BIOS WXP.

    So if any of you have laptop model US they would see how the solution with Toshiba U.S. or US forum under http://community.compuserve.com/n/pfx/forum.aspx?webtag=ws-laptop&redirCnt=1

    Bye and good luck!

  • Satellite A60-202 after bad BIOS updated the PC does not work

    Hello

    After a very bad my BIOS update, my PC doesn't work and doesn't turn on.
    What to do now?
    It is Toshiba Satellite A60-202 with 512 MB of memory and 40 GB of HD.
    model PSA60E-OLP06TFR SA60-202

    Thank you

    Yves

    HI Yves,

    Unfortunately, if the BIOS update procedure does not work (or fill), then it is likely that the BIOS in the CMOS chip had been corrupt and without it, you will not be able to boot your laptop to fix the problem.

    It will be necessary to bring (or send) your laptop to a repairer authorized to have reflashed BIOS.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro P300-19 q WLan don't work in Win XP & keyboard problem

    I just took delivery of one P300 19 q which seems fine other than...

    1. the Wireless does not work

    2. the keyboard in my opinion is c * p

    I removed Vista, I use the laptop for XP and music is much better (not sure if this is related) but I can't get WiFi to work.
    I spent hours on the phone with Tiscali clean technology and directs the laptops with no joy.

    Any ideas?

    Also, I'm not at all happy with the keyboard. The high-lift device together the keyboard keys to the left and right seem very strong, but everything else seem like they should be on a toy. Its this really how they should be?

    I would appreciate a quick response because I'm undecided if I should get a refund or a replacement.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    As far as I know the laptop uses an Intel WLan card. Right?
    In this case you must update the BIOS to version 3.00 or later.

    With respect to the keyboard.
    I put t know what you mean exactly by rest seem like they should be on a toy, but it s a black buttons keyboard brilliant 105 communes like these keyboards of laptop:
    http://www.Darfon.com.tw/English/HID_NBkb.asp

    You will find these keyboards on different laptops from different manufacturers.

    But if you think that there is a problem of keyboard and that there is something wrong then contact ASP in your country for a control keyboard (just to be 100% sure)

  • Satellite X 200-219 - the touchpad does not work as it should

    Hi all

    I recently bought a 2nd hand Toshiba Satellite x 200-219. Had some problems with it that I have overcome now, except one... The touchpad does not work as it should. I think that the cable has been damaged at some point.

    So I'm wondering if I should use the same ribbon cable to connect the keyboard to the motherboard or can I get one of a different model of PC Toshiba laptop?

    I tried searching on the net for advice but have resulted in nothing so thought I would try the forums.

    Any help you can give will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance,

    Lee

    I think you can use the items to the satellite X 205 series since this seems to be the same series as X 200:
    Found some related parts the touchpad:
    Satellite X 205 / X 200 touchpad Board with cable: reference number: K000047950
    Satellite part number for the TOUCH PAD FFC X 205 / X 200: K000047980

    But why you n t come into contact with a Toshiba authorized service provider in your country and order the part necessary and compatible?

  • Satellite C660 - click of the mouse does not work

    Hello

    I bought this laptop 5 weeks ago and now have problems with the right, click on the mouse does not work. Left click sometimes opens to the left, click on functions and leaves me is impossible to close programs or closed, double clicking in the pavement or enter does not work also.

    I tried to do a system restore to the factory, but I can not click on the next to take me through the restoration and end up having to close it via the main power switch.

    Any ideas please?

    Hello

    You have the same problems with a mouse external or just the touchpad?

    If an external mouse works correctly, you can use it to do a recovery install. This can help you to solve the problem, if this just s software.

    Not least have last but you tried to update the driver for the touchpad? You can find it on the official website of Toshiba:

  • The mouse does not work on my new Satellite L750/L755

    Hello world

    I bought a toshiba Satellite L750/L755 but the mouse does not work, I have no control on it that if I use an external mouse, while I have put pressure on the touchpad.
    I tried the following options:
    I updated the driver - I changed the operating system

    but nothing, still the same problem. Next laptop will be a Mac for sure.

    I look forward to hear from you

    Daniele

    Hello Daniele

    It's really strange that the touchpad does not work even if you have installed the right driver and installed the operating system again. At the first moment, we can say there is probably a hardware problem, but please be sure touchpad is listed in the Device Manager and also active correctly (FN keys).

    Check it please all the properties of the mouse.

  • Satellite L300 - 1-5 - the screen does not work

    Recently, I encountered a problem with my laptop, the screen does not work.
    I tested my inverter of the screen and my backlight lamp to see that if that was the problem, but they both worked perfectly, I then tried the entire screen with the parts and that worked too. (I tried in my friends Toshiba Satellite L300 - 217)

    Then I looked around online and got told to try to connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either. So now I'm stuck, I have tried everything even made sure all connections aren't loose etc but it still does not.

    Anyone know what the problem with my laptop?

    Thank you, Tom

    Hey Buddy,

    > connect my laptop to an external monitor, so I did and the screen didn't work there either.
    This means that the internal monitor is ok and the reason must be the graphics card or card mother herself.

    I guess for now, you get only a screen empty and nothing happens on your laptop?

    In this case, you should contact the closest service provider authorized in your country. Just get in touch with the guys and ask for help. They can check the cell phone and fix it! ;)

  • MacBook pro a key on the keyboard does not work

    Last day I was cleaning my keyboard (I do not used any water or liquid), and when I handed the keys, I found that my 'enter' key does not work.

    I think it's because that material because the key does not work even without the key cover. Is it possible that I have demaged some buses on the baseboard of the keyboard?

    In addition, I can not open Apple Diagnostics, and while I turn on my macbook it produces sounds like that I am button constantly some.
