• Satellite Pro U500 - 1 5 touch screen or not?

  Hello world

  just a quick question, I read on the internet and when I bought my laptop Satellite Pro U500 - 1 5 has a touchscreen.
  Now when I want to install this, it is not possible because this function is not available?

  Can we confirm this or tell me if I'm wrong?

  Greetings

  I found specification for laptop Toshiba page HERE , but I can't find this info. This model of laptop is obviously without touchscreen.

  Did you find some info in the user s manuals?

• Question sleeping on all new Satellite Pro U500-1EX

  Hi guys,.

  I have a new Satellite Pro U500-1EX with Windows 7 64 bit.

  The laptop is having some problems with its function of sleep. I wonder if others have had the same problem - and if anyone knows anything that can be done.

  OK, there are two questions;
  1. when the laptop enters sleep mode - it will come out it its own after a while. He goes to the login screen and wait about another hour before falling asleep. That's when it is plugged into the power - and no LAN.

  2. when I close the lid to put the laptop into standby - and while on battery - after awhile he will supply any. Connect the power supply won't do anything - the power light not at all - which suggests that the laptop don't even note not be plugged. I have to then remove the battery and turn the computer on (thus losing all the data that I had when I put the computer to sleep!).

  So, have you seen this issue with your satellite pro? This is something common and being ignored - or y at - it an easy solution for it?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hi Audette,

  I have the Satellite U500 also but I can t notice any question about fashion 'sleep'. It works perfectly with an OS preinstalled Toshiba and the latest version of the BIOS. Then perhaps you need to update the BIOS as suggested Timox.

  Before you begin the update, close all running programs (also, AntiVirus and firewall), make sure you are logged in as administrator and do not stop the computer being updated.

  By the way: you use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba?

  Hello and welcome to Toshiba support forum.
  At has first of all tell us please what Satellite Pro you exactly.
  What operating system do you use?
  What is the problem with the webcam?

  Each laptop model comes with preinstalled OS and webcam should work fine.
  I presume that you should have Win7 64 bit, right?

• Satellite Pro U500-1DK - upgrade to Windows 7?

  Everyone has lowered the note a Satellite Pro U500-1DK for Windows 7 32-bit?

  If so, were all the drivers available?

  Hi jazzydog,

  I guess you want to do a downgrade to Windows 7 64 bit for Windows 7 32 bit. Right?
  Well, the question is why you make such a downgrade because 32-bit is more obsolete because it supports only 3 GB of RAM.

  Satellite Pro U500 belongs to the series of PSU9CE and are therefore no drivers on the official page of Toshiba. So in my opinion, you should always use 64-bit Windows.

• Satellite Pro U500 - update the BIOS does not start on Windows 7

  Try to update BIOS on Satellite Pro U500 PSU9CA. The download site says there is a new version available, after that download and run the program nothing happens. You can see the Winflash process in the Task Manager but it never appears"". If this has yet been tested by Toshiba?

  There are no instructions, no readme or whatever it is.

  Did somebody get the BIOS update?

  Hi torana.

  As far as I know Toshiba always test their drivers or updates tools before they will be released and I have never had a problem with the new updates, so I think that the problem is lreated to your laptop, maybe something wrong with your installation.

  In General before you start the update of the BIOS you have to decompress all the files in archive zip and launch the update as an administrator.
  Also make sure that the value added package is installed and no firewall is not blocking the update program.

• Satellite Pro U500 - multi-boot with Win 7 and Win XP

  Good gentlemen,

  Please help me with this query I have.

  I just bought a Satellite Pro U500 with Windows 7 installed. I also have a TOSHIBA Windows XP product supplied with the laptop recovery DVDs. Was told I could downgrade to XP with the DVD.

  I want to install Win XP in addition to the existing installation of Windows 7 on a different partition, I intend to create.
  Can I create a create a separate partition and then use the recovery TOSHIBA Windows XP product DVD to install Win XP on it?

  Am just worried I might spoil the on the laptop's recovery partition?

  Basically, I want to be able to run the current Windows 7 and Win XP on my machine and want to know the best way to do it without damaging the existing TOSHIBA recovery partitions.

  I want to use the recovery DVDs TOSHIBA Windows XP product to install XP on a new partition with windows 7 OS.

  Thank you

  Hi-band,
  + downgrade to xp + means that you are not allowed to use your win7 installation any longer...

  ask problem "dual-boot":
  burn a DVD restore *, choose from the start menu

  After that, you can choose partition wich you like "sacrifice" for xp and install it...
  XP can't 'see' the install of win7, but you need a Boot Manager to boot both systems (xp is crushing the win7 boot code)

  or you go the other way:
  installation of xp and then install win7
  This has the advantage that win7 offers you the ability to boot xp from the bootmenu.
  in both options, you lose the hard drive recovery!

• Ubuntu 9.10 on Satellite Pro U500

  Hi all

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U500 1EQ PSU83E (I think this is a special edition for the school).

  I tried to install Ubuntu 9.10 but the wireless LAN card is not recognized.

  If there is no native Linux driver, I think that I try to install Windows by Ndiswrapper player.
  The problem is that I can't know who is the manufacturer/model for Wi - Fi card.
  Is there someone who knows what model of card Wi - Fi is installed?

  Many thanks and best regards.

• Satellite Pro A120 - LCD black screen - Fine on external monitor - fine

  Hi, I have a headache with a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120 mojor. The screen began to move to the blackout at random times and happens more and more. It is not serious if W
  Jayindows has loaded or if I enter the bios, boot from the CD or leave it sitting waiting for me to select a boot device. More often than otherwise, it becomes black, but you can still see what needs to be on the screen, it is simply not at all turned to see clearly. The laptop itself still works very well because it works on an external monitor and makes the system beeps, cd turns etc.
  Have you tried the following:
  Setting of various parameters in the graphics properties and in the bios but makes no difference.
  It also becomes active again if I press FN + F5 to swap monitors but turns off after a few seconds.
  It is not overheating as it's been all night and still sometimes happens when starting Cold Stone.
  I tried to start with / without battery - no difference.
  I tried to start without the disk HARD - no difference.
  I tried to remove the battery by pressing power for 60 seconds, then add the battery and new starter - no difference in power.
  I could have sworn it is the inverter, but it does the same thing with an inverter I know works! do not think that it may be graphic because it works on an external monitor and turn off.
  I'm out of ideas and looking for a genius to fix it for me please!
  See you soon

  Hey Buddy,

  > It turns on but not at all to see clear
  This would mean that the FL inverter is faulty the FL inverter of the internal LCD display controls the backlight of the screen and if the isn t working FL inverter you can see a picture, but very very dark.

  It would be a logical explanation for your problem, because there must be something wrong with the laptop LCD if an external monitor is working properly. Also if it happens in the BIOS the problem is not software.

  In your case I contact an authorized service provider and ask the guys for help. They can check your laptop and this should be done. Here, we can only speculate and discuss the different possibilities because it s just a user forum. EPA has professional diagnostic tools and can order all Toshiba spare parts.

  Good luck! :)

• Satellite Pro L40: black screen but faint image in background

  Satellite Pro L40 - 17 H (PSL4BE-00T005EN)

  Hello

  I would appreciate your help with the following problem:

  SYMPTOMS: The screen is black, but I see that there is a faint image in background.
  I get a good picture in the external monitor.

  I suspect, _among others_, there may be a faulty * cover sensor / switch *, but I have been unable to locate him, although I have disassembled the unit.

  If anyone knows, please let me have the exact * location * where I should look for the switch.
  Thank you

  > I think, among other things, that there may be a faulty lid switch/sensor

  No, I do not think that its sensor problem.
  I guess that the FL inverter is faulty.

  The FL inverter controls the backlight of the LCD display module.
  Therefore, this part should be checked and if necessary, it must be replaced.

• Problem of backlight Satellite Pro L10 - the screen is very dark

  Hello

  I've got a L10 Pro of the Satellite with a backlight problem - the screen is very dark.
  How can I confirm if it is the backlight themselves who have failed or the backlight inverter Board?

  Also, can someone point me in the right direction for a copy of the workshop manual?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  As you have said that this problem could be linked to the failure of inverter FL and in most cases, the FL inverter needs to be replaced.
  It's a little bit complicated and it s not desirable to try to replace it to your own hand as this may damage the screen of laptop computers.
  This is why I would really recommend contacting a Toshiba ASP because of two important reasons:
  First reason is that you can order the ASP compatible FL inverter and the second reason is that an ASP could provide help how to replace this part.

  If you want to know where and how he placed s then you can visit this page:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-A105/remove-replace-LCD-screen-1.htm

  Of course, this page shows only the wow of instruction to remove and replace the Satellite A105 FL inverter, but the procedure is not very different from the Sat L10.

  But like I said above; If you have no experience don t do anything, which could damage the laptop!

• Satellite Pro P200: Change the size of partition in Vista?

  Is it possible to adjust the size of the partition after installing?

  I have a Satellite Pro P200 with a shared about HARD disk:

  C: Vista partiton - 17 GB of free to 56 GB
  E: partition of data of-54 GB of free to 55 GB

  I know that the data reader is used by Vista to contain information of recovery.

  However, I would like to know if its possible to reallocate some of its spare production capacity at the Vista drive without compromising the recovery feature?

  Of course, you can change the size of the partitions after Vista installation.

  You can change this in the Vista Disk Manager s

  Here, you could choose the existing partition, and then you could reduce the amount of partitions. This free volume can be added to another partition, or you can create another partition.

• Satellite Pro M70 - stopped screen lights

  My Toshiba Satellite PRO M70 screen lights.
  I don't know why, but sometimes when the screen is broken and I put it up it turns on, but after a few seconds it stops.

  It started a few days without something strange in my pc like hitting or something like that.
  I tried to connect an external display and it works weell.

  Anyone know why it cant pass or how fix it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The Fn keys work?
  You can increase the display button narrowly by using the FN + F7 combination?

  Please also check the energy saving profile.
  Maybe the display brightness is set to a lower value in the power saver profile.

  But if you will not find anything unusual in the settings of the software, so I guess that the brightness display problem is related to the failure of inverter FL.
  The FL inverter controls the brightness of the screen, and this part needs to be replaced.
