• Satellite U200 - cannot get the LAN port to work

  Hello

  I hope someone can help. I reloaded a new version of windows on my laptop, I don't have the recovery disk but downloaded all the drivers from this site. However, I can not the LAN port to work. I tried several times to install the driver but no luck. In the Device Manager, it says device cannot start for the Intel 82559 fast Ethernet LAN on motherboard.

  Can someone please offer some advice? I am a person of correct PC then understand the concepts and can get around the windows.
  Thank you

  Satellite U200 what model do you have? The number of other Sat U200-xxx would be very useful to know which LAN chip was equipped with your laptop.

  But generally, you can find all the drivers on the European driver Toshiba page.
  Check the model number and serial (bottom) and choose the correct LAn driver Toshiba page.

  Notes; Win XP should be updated to the last State. I mean that you need SP2 and the additional fixes to ensure that everything would be fine.

  Good luck

  Snipe of the marshes

  Hello snipe

  Thanks for your comments. As you can see BIOS version 3.x is listed under Vista and I guess that it is created to further the use of the Vista operating system. Have you already preinstalled Vista on your U200?

  Have you noticed some failures?

• Satellite L670-143 - new BIOS available, but what's new?

  Since yesterday I get a notice from Toshiba Bulletin Board that a new version of the BIOS is available, version 2.30 - WIN dated from 14/02/12.

  Given that I am trying hard and wonder if Toshiba allows users to change the Wifi card by default, I'm interested in what this BIOS update is needed for, if it wasn't for allowing users to install their preferred Wifi adapter I'm totally happy with my current version of BIOS and won't update something that brings something of new or improve anything.

  For this purpose: is their any page where people can find out what is new in a new update of the BIOS?
  Everything we always get is compressed form. Exe and prechewed message "this update of the Bios adds increased system functionality" on the page to download... but nothing concrete information.

  Hello Moose

  In one thing, I agree with you: don t change the BIOS if there is no former radical problem or the system in general. Many people here have reported on the various problems after BIOS update so if you are happy with your laptop and if everything goes perfectly don t change anything.

  Problem is that on the European download page you will find information on the update of the BIOS. In other words there is nothing new in the latest version of the BIOS.
  It is interesting that Toshiba US offers you this info so I m me where difference between offered things in US and Europe is to ask. I m not an expert for this stuff but there may be reasons relating to the protection of law or customers. I put t know.

  What you can do if you have a little time, is to visit the US page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp > download, find a similar pattern with the same BIOS update and check if you can find useful information here.

  At the end once more: don t change anything, if everything works well. I have 2 years old Satellite P500 and use with BIOS and original recovery image. It works perfectly. Best Toshiba laptop I've had over the last 10 years.

• Satellite A500-149: new BIOS update 2.00 - winning would solve issue lighting

  Hello

  I need help because I have a toshiba A500-149, but the keyboard lights work not (FN + Z).
  I see a new update of the Bios, and my question is:
  This new victory of update 2.00 solve this problem?

  Is this upgrate secure?

  > This new victory of update 2.00 solve this problem?
  Question: Lighting of the keyboard work on the first day of purchase?

  If so, the question is not related to the BIOS.

  Second: the lighting can be turned on and off in the BIOS.
  Have you checked the settings there?

  Third: have you checked something in the software?
  Maybe reinstalling the VAP (value added package) would be useful

• Satellite U200-196: Vista drivers are available!

  Mulholla! Tonight, I can start :) Toshiba finally done with Vista on the European Site drivers!

• Satellite M30X-165: new HARD drive does not work

  Hi, I want to replace the old hard drive, HITACHI 80 GB in my Satellite M30X 165. I bought SEAGATE Momentus 5400.3 120GB but it seems that it may not be recognized by the BIOS. Anyone know what to do or what types of discs can be used in this notebook? Thanks for help.

  Hello

  Sometimes a bios update has solved many issues about installing new hardware.

  BUT Please note: the Bios has a limitation of size of HARD drive support. Not all sizes are supported. I guess that the 120 GB are too big and therefore you can not use it!

  You must switch to a smaller size. Check with a 80 or 100 GB HARD drive

  See you soon

• Satellite A200-1VP - new WiFi card does not work

  Hi all

  I just bought an intel 4965agn wireless card to replace the original card intel 3945abg. I bought the card on ebay, it's a computer dell laptop.

  I installed it (connecting the black wire on pin 2 and the white wire to Terminal 3). The device appears in the device manage correctly without any problem. I installed the latest driver from intel for this card.

  the problem is that no wireless connection cannot be captured. the utility intel built in diagnosis, the card seems to fail the test of material. The section troubleshooting said to check the Device Manager and install the appropriate drivers. I've done it before, so I'm not sure of the problem.

  any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hi ansarali,

  Why you traded a new WLAN draft N card if you can t use it? I want to say that your laptop was only equipped Intel abg card and for standard project you also need 3 antennas and as much as I know Satellite A200 are not equipped with 3 antennas

  In addition, the antenna cables must be connected correctly. This means that you must connect the white cable to the HAND and the black cable to the auxiliary voltage

• Satellite U200-128 & Vista: FN & keys do not work

  I upgraded my laptop to XP operating system to Vista.
  But after that I changed my OS, some functions don't work anymore, I.e. multimedia keys (which is located just above the keyboard, right next to the power button) and the FN keys (dimmer backlight screen, wifi key, etc.).

  Can someone help me with this?
  I have already downloaded software Toshiba U200 for Vista to predict, and yet I can't seem to fix it as I once did with an XP operating system.

  Hello

  You must install the Package Toshiba Vista value added for the control of Toshiba functionality of the buttons.
  Also, the FN buttons should work after the installation of VAP.
  The fact is that Vista FlashCards control keys FN and the FlashCards are a part of the VAP.

  I also recommend install button holder because it allows you to customize and TOSHIBA special button preset settings

  Good bye

• Player Media Express on Satellite U200

  Hello

  I recently formatted and partitioned my entire system, Satellite U200-196. I made a cd of drivers and tools before. But unfortunately I can't find the "Express Media Player recovery CD". Is this a real or did I forgot to 'do' one like the cd drivers and tools?

  Hello Enrico

  I read some of your comments on this forum and I must say: I love them! You're a really funny guy and we need more people like you here. This forum is not always so seriously. ;)

  Back to your question: with each unit preloaded with Experss Media player is Express media player recovery CD. I don't know about your device but friends Satellite U200-192 comes without EMP. He created T & U CD like you, but there is no EMP.

  EMP was preinstalled on your device (factory settings)?

  Unfortunately I have no explanation for what is happening exactly to your device, but don t forget that your device is not supported under Linux and also designed for Windows XP.

  Satellite U200 is more recent and it is possible that in a month next someone will do some Linux experience on this unit and reported it here.

  Now, his work as a vga adapter.
  The question is based on 100% of the incompatibility of the bios, any idea when toshiba will come out a new bios for this machine?

  Kind regards.

  Problem is that no one knows exactly what laptop models will be supported for Vista. I put t know how it works for the laptop models to the United States, but only what you can do is to check the http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_home.jsp from time to time.

• Incorrect operating system on the new recovery disc - Satellite U200-115

  I have a Toshiba Satellite U200-115 model No.PLUA0E - 0970372N which ran from Windows XP Professional. Stupidly, I decided to reformat the hard disk to clean. When I got to use my original recovery disk I found that it was badly scratched and unusable. I just got a new recovery disk, but he installed Windows Vista not what the machine came with.

  It says "this copy of Windows is not genuine" and that the "product key is invalid for activation. I don't have a product key for Vista only for XP Professional!
  What should I do now?

  > What should I do now?
  Is your laptop comes with WXP Pro. In my opinion, you should communicate with Bertelsmann (https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx) and ask what is the problem.
