Satellite S500-10F - slowed down and need BIOS update

Hello, I would like to know if anyone can help.

I work for a Borough Council IT Department, so it is quite safe to say that I know a fair bit on THIS and the side material things. We had an about 12 laptops Toshiba Satellite S500 delivered, 11 x S500 - 11 c and 1 x S500-10F. As we do not yet support windows 7 so he must rebuild in Windows XP, install the drivers etc, and send them to schools.

All S500 - 11 c were built and work without any problem at all. The only difference I see is that the model 10F doesn't have bluetooth so that the model 11 c. Model 10F take image ghost, created from the 11 c, but he likes to be restart every 5 minutes approximately and is extremely slow.

So I rebuilt the model 10F using our licenses CD XP SP3 Microsoft and started to install drivers etc. When I installed the software of card reader Ricoh the laptop again slowed down (about 5 minutes to start Windows). I used to have a similar problem with a model on the A300 range and I've updated the BIOS which cured the problem. I downloaded the one and only BIOS update on the Toshiba site for the S500 and when I want intsaller, he returned with a message that says "this computer is is not supported.

If someone at Toshiba can tell me where I can get an update of the BIOS that works for my S500-10F or indeed why my system slowed down to a snails pace after having installed the Ricoh card reader software I would be very grateful. I removed the software and now and disabled without success card reader devices.

Thank you very much

I can see for this Satellite Pro model 2 drivers are available. The second is O2Micro controller version 1.1.4.207 card reader.
Have you tried to install it?

  • iCloud photo library stuck in an interminable loading which slows down and stops my entire network.

    Last month I've upgraded successfully to El Capitan. Since then, after choosing to automatically download and store my entire library to the cloud, the download process caused a lot of problems. First of all, I had to leave the laptop on day and night and connected to the internet to complete the download. He has almost completely downloaded (with several modem restarts because the massive data download accidents caused connectivity) but then I had a planned trip and had to shut down the process. I tried to start again when I arrived at my destination, but it seemed to have started the process everything again (see below where the progress bar is at the very beginning again when previously, it was almost completely to the end) and close network of my poor host several times AND he ate all my CPU activity slow down and even stop any other activity of the laptop. Finally, I had to leave the process altogether for the rest of my visit. In fact, I had to disable wifi on my laptop because the process continued in the background even when I got the Photos app off the power. When I returned home, I studied the problem and learned how to fix the library by pressing the command and Option keys when I turned on the photo program. Once, the process started all over again and this time, he showed an any number of items to download (there was less than 25 000 points before this download now it shows more than 26,000).

    Finally, I got it at the Apple Genius Bar, in the hope of a quick solution. He, even, fixed the library as well as a few other permissions by using Apple's Diagnostics. Everything seems to be working again, but the process had to start all over again for some reason any and he told me to connect the laptop to the modem via a cable and left running overnight until the process completed. I did it. The first night, I was happy. It seemed that 25% of the process had already been completed. At this rate, it wouldn't take another 4 days. He told me that when he gets in, he would never to do it again. HOWEVER, after the second night of leaving it night directly connected to the modem, I checked it this morning and it seems to have started all OVER AGAIN FROM THE BEGINNING! Still, he hangs up my entire network. I can't watch the Apple TV, or use my iPad for work or my iPhone to access and other plans. Currently, there seems to be a nightmare without end of download and spoil my network (and notice that there are now more 28 000 points).

    This is intolerable. I can't live in this endless loop of photos download crashing my network and slow down my programs. I understand that this is not a problem isolated to me. So, did anyone found one simple solution other than its use onedrive or flickr or another synchronization photo program?

    28 000 pictures takes a lot of time - it took me ten days to 7000 and whenever you try to 'fix' it do you it longer - I stopped mine during the day when I was home so it wouldn't screw up my internet access form other devices, defined the Mac not to go to sleep and turn anytime I don't have internet

    Basically, your choices are to turn it off and not use ICPL or use it and let him complete without constant interference and restart the process

    Once he finished he initial transfer it stays out of the way, even with large updates (I added more than 10,000 photos since my initial download)

  • starts to slow down and there is a delay of approximately 15 seconds or more before he realized my statement through my mouse

    I have laptop with system 'vista basic' which works fine most of the time, but after that, I was on it for maybe 10 minutes, that it starts to slow down and there is a delay of 15 seconds or more before he realized my statement through my mouse. I ran "defender", indicating no problem.

    I am not a very experienced operator and am reluctant to perform the instructions given by the guides, etc., in which case I have to delete the files, etc. If some can help me in the simplest of terms to help me with my problem?

    Hello pinkyxc,

    Thanks for the return of the response.  I think first to plug in a USB mouse and see if you are able to reproduce this problem.  Did you go to the manufacturer website and download the drivers for your mouse lates?

    If your laptop has built in the diagnosis provided by the manufacturer test?  You get all the errors when this happens?

    In addition, you may attempt to perform a restore of the system to a point prior to the installation of IE 9 and see if this corrects the problem.

    some help would be appreciated as it happened a lot recently.

    Download the official tester of WD here: http://support.wdc.com/product/download.asp?groupid=612&sid=3&lang=en&print=y.    Run all the tests.  I'd be surprised if you do not have to FAIL as a result.  Understand that these are WD asking its customers to guarantee to run tests to prove that WD should replace their dirves.

    54 degrees C is too hot.  Mine 32 tracks.  The high temperature is just another symptom that you say it's a failure.

    When a player throws a bad sector, it is likely to have more to come.  Yes, there are routines to 'fix' sectors defective, but given the cost of a new disc and the benefits of the most recent, it just makes no sense to fool around with a piece of material that might be causing a lot of headaches

    Everything simply good judgment says that you invest time with the help of a failing drive.  Get off your data when you can't always.  Buy yourself a replacement.  Probably less than $100. They are really not so difficult to change.  Tips: When you buy, make sure it is a 7200 RPM drive.  Buy the so-called OEM drives, they are exactly the same but less expensive because you are not buying the package.  There is a very noticeable difference in performance between the most common 5400 and 7200.  Your current drive is a 5400 RPM one.

    From the data above, you almost 750 G.  It seems that 500 would do the trick.

  • Network slows down and stops receiving data the halfway during the loading of a site or downloading

    In windows 7, my network slows down and stops at the midway during the download or load of a site with the largest size. When I restart the download, the same problem occurs again. When I use a download manager I have to stop the download and then picks up the part were stopping to download and vice versa in order to finish the rest of the download to complete.

    Hello

    ·         Did you follow all the methods provided?

    ·         You are using cable or wireless network connection?

    Let us know if you have followed all the steps of troubleshooting mentioned in the previous post, and what were the results, so that we can help you further.

    If you use try of connection through check wireless network and wired network. If a cable that you can try to use a new cable to see if the one you use has problems. If it is I'd see if anyone is leeches wireless turn off your connection. Note If you have more than 1 person on a 300kps connection there is no chance, you're going to both to have that kind of speed with a shared connection, especially if you use a hub, although I do not agree that a decline until 20kps is rare, it would not if someone is hogging the bandwidth of your connection.

    Method 1:

    You can also try to update the latest NIC drivers on the manufacturer's Web site and check if it helps.

  • Html5 Flash - How can I make a clip from movie internal slow down and stop when it happen a certain group?

    I'm creating a car braking system using flash, and I have a spin of the wheel. I want the wheel to slow down and stop after the brake pedal is pushed to a certain range. I know I could do with frame-by-frame animation but hoped there is a short cut - javascript? If not the party slowing then is the code to do just the internal clip (rotation of the wheel) to stop when it is in a frame. ? Thank you

  • During BIOS update by Satellite Pro A60 went down and did not start

    Hi all

    I have a Satellite Pro A60 and I've updated the bios. To halfway the update, my laptop came down and started Hasna´t since. It only give a couple of beeps (trying to tell me the bios is damaged, I guess) and turns off again.

    Tried to start with (~) key pressed (a tip I received from a friend), but without success.

    I live in a country where there is no available Toshiba dealer and I rather not ship the laptop for repair.

    Does anyone know how to fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    This doesn't sound good.
    If during the POST, the BIOS detects a problem, it will normally display an error message visual on the monitor explaining what the problem is. However, if a problem is detected before it initializes BIOS video card or a video card is not present or not detected then BIOS will play through the Speaker beeps to let you know there is a problem.
    Depending on the type of BIOS you have the BIOS can play beeps in a specific pattern to indicate what the problem is, or emits the signal even a few times indicating the problem.

    In your case, it is possible to s you used a bad BIOS or bad BIOS procedure. Both can damage the motherboard.
    To avoid such damage and mistakes, Toshiba published FAQ document.
    How to upgrade the BIOS on most of the units!

    That you should read before making updates to the BIOS!
    Unfortunately, I n t think that you can fix yourself. I think you should ask to help ASP.

  • Satellite L450D: audio stutters slows down and jumps

    The sound on this laptop is terrible, whenever I do anything on the laptop everything by playing a song (my music) the audio stutters - slows - jumps and sounds generally garbage.

    I have a collection of great mp3 on another computer and try to listen to songs while surfing or working on this laptop.
    It is almost impossible to listen to them.
    I thought that this could be due to streaming over a wireless network, so I have a few copied on the laptop, but there is absolutely no difference

    I tried Windows Media Player and winamp, changed and played with the settings and finally reinstalled the driver (Realtek Semiconductor)
    Yet is still is catastrophic.

    I think back the useless thing.

    I assume you have tested with factory settings and drivers pre-installed.
    What to say?
    Try disabling all unnecessary background activities. Some scan of the HARD drive or anything else is perhaps responsible for stuttering. The fact is that this laptop doesn't have Harman/Kardon speakers, so you can not expect better sound quality than on laptop with these high-quality speakers.

    In the end, I must say that I agree with you. If you are not satisfied, try to contact your local dealer and bring the laptop. Get a new one.

  • Satellite 2450-201: slow startup and shutdown

    I HAVE A SATELLITE 2450-201 AND I RUN ON WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION, I DID A REGISTRY CLEANER EVERYBODYS USERNAME USING REGISTRY FIX 5.5
    I HAVE DEFRAGED MY PC AND ALSO OPTIMIZED MY MSCONFIG STARTUP ITEMS AND EVEN THE BIOS UPDATE.
    THE RESULT IS EXTREMELY FASTER WHEN I CONNECT AND ACTUALLY UNDER WINDOWS BUT THE SAME OLD VERY SLOW STOP AND START TO WHAT I DO.

    THE WINDOWS BAR GOING ALONG AT LEAST 15 - 20 TIMES TO HELP START!

    Hello

    Maybe you've connected to some external devices to slow down the start-up procedure. You can also try to disable all the hardware components you n t need (modem. IrDA). Also check out which device is defined in a first start time (I hope that the HARD drive).

    For slow closing is responsible only running processes that should be forced disconnected. It all depends on your own configuration and you are using external devices.

  • Satellite L100 - how to download and install the update to the BIOS?

    I bought this Satellite L100 in 2006, and it occurred to me that, now, I might need a updated BIOS (laptop computer sometimes freezes at startup).

    I found an update on the site Web of the Satellite from July 6, 2007, but download instructions are confusing and the driver do not just come through. Can someone help me with another link for this download?

    Hello

    Normally, if the computer crashes to the screen Toshiba menas there is a problem with the detection of the material on the laptop. Maybe the HARD drive won't be recognized correctly or something else. I put t know because I m not a technician for computer laptop, but you can test the laptop without HARD drive if it crashes again on the Toshiba screen.

    But a BIOS can't solve this problem. I think the best way would be if you contact an authorized service provider. Technicians can verify the complete laptop computer hardware.
