• Satellite U500 freeze after installing the Nvidia display driver

  I just did a clean install of Windows 7 Professional 64 bit on my machine and tried to install the drivers from the Toshiba site. However, after the installation of the driver and restarted, the l' ordinateur computer seems to be ok for a few seconds and then the screen just hangs and I have to start cold in SafeMode so that it works.

  I tried to disable the Nvidia Driver Helper Service, but it does not at all help. The machine can only be started in safe mode. The laptop was originally with Windows 7 Home premium, 64-bit and it worked well.

  Someone knows this, and what was your solution? Thanks for your help!

  Hello

  Have you installed other drivers on the Toshiba site, too? Such a question would normally be typical of 3rd third party drivers use
  Have you installed the drivers from the chipset first?

  Maybe you need to restore the factory settings. With these settings, everything is pretested and configured for more stable parameters.

• Satellite U500 freezes with USB internet connection

  I have a portable Satellite U500 bought in Australia and I have a problem that when I connect to my mobile internet it freezes.

  I tried two different mobile internet providers thinking that maybe it's a problem with them, but both are the issue. I tried to put in different UBS ports (as there are three of them) and it freezes again any port. Via USB thumb drives in one of them or connection USB keyboard/mouse does not cause a problem, so I don't think that it can be USB ports.

  When I connect to internet via LAN to work I have no problem. I scanned my computer from viruses and its own. Frost occurs with mobile internet USB only and has only started in the last two or three months, I've had the laptop since December, running Vista.

  Help? Does anyone else have this problem?

• Satellite U500-176: Impossible to get an HDMI output to work on television or monitor

  Hello

  I have a new Satellite U500-176 but impossible to get the HDMI to work on a TV or monitor.

  Usually, when the monitor is connected and I press Fn + F5 I get only the 1 option (LCD).
  Occasionally, the HDMI options work but when I select one it goes to the screen and runs successfully for a few seconds then automatically returns.

  Any ideas?

  See you soon,.
  Roy.

  Hello

  Hmm, what operating system are you using?
  Was - this operating system preinstalled by Toshiba?

  Please take a look in the BIOS. There should be HDMI settings. Please check if it is enabled.
  In addition, I would recommend checking the graphics card driver update.

  What version of BIOS you are using the most recent?

• Satellite U500 - Bluetooth emits BT monitor vs Bt Stack

  Hi all

  My wife machine is a Satellite U500 - 10 L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with pre-installed Vista, later with W7Pro 32-bit).

  Now, I always had various problems with Bluetooth on this machine, and it is the only machine I've ever had problems of Bluetooth with, for the most part related to connectivity to the internet via mobile phones.

  More generally, I connect to the internet using a mobile phone to control Bluetooth Sony Ericsson and Sony Ericsson PC Suite software (currently and elm and occasionally a hazelnut or a C702.) This configuration has always worked without problem on all the other machines I used, like my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710 b given to me by my former employer for a few years and even my old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased) and my mother's old Macbook untrustworthy. With these machines, I've never had problems connecting to one of the phones or internet, without any drops of connection or any other problem issues.

  Not the same with this U500. I write this when connected through PC Suite, Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works perfectly for days at the end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. As a general rule, however, get a connection more often than otherwise, but the question is annoying nevertheless.

  Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack Panel and managed to establish the connection, well. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it is actually connected and if the BT stack control panel and monitor Windows 7 connection in the system tray, but there is no real access to the internet (I have only the small yellow triangle with the no message + internet access, but the phone is dialed in.)

  Then, I tried to reinstall PC Suite (with BT present Stack), and things became even worse: now the BT itself between PC Suite and the phone connection is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it works well enough to get a connection (although somewhat reliable).

  So now I have uninstalled the BT stack, reinstalled the monitor BT and went back using PC as a result of the composition and the same issues that I mentioned previously to persist.

  Now, my two questions are as follows: a. Why did not get any Internet with BT Stack, even if the phone was actually composed for the connection? and (b) assuming that the internet access issue is resolved, I'd maybe get a connection more reliable (i.e. one that is not suddenly decide to drop from time to time) with BT Stack instead of the installation of PC Suite/BT monitor?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  A long time ago I ve tested the BT feature with my laptop LG and everything was OK. The configuration was not so complicated.

  Unfortunately, I can't help you with your problem. I put t knows anything about your mobile phone, internet provider, or anything else, so the only thing I can do here is to you recommend to visit the knowledge base of Toshiba BT under http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/bluetooth/?page=howto

• Satellite U500 - 10L and password protection

  Greetings,

  I have Windows Vista (service pack 2) installed on my laptop Toshiba Satellite U500 - 10L (PSU5EE). Recently, I encountered a serious problem; Password Admin Windows is vulnerable through the Start Menu (hit F12 when you turn on the laptop) machine, I mean anyone with a USB/CD boot can crack the password.

  Now I would restrict access to the Start Menu - or remove the boot by USB/CD options in the Menu. I just installed the updated BIOS (2.5 WIN), but unfortunately the BIOS provides no options to restrict access to or to modify the Start Menu. I find it is a major breach of security, is their anyway to deal with this problem?

  I appreciate your quick response.

  Best regards, John

• Satellite U500 - no option of Synaptics with Windows 7

  Hi all

  After that I did a clean install of Windows 7 Pro 32 bit on my Satellite U500, I get more options in the control panel of the Synaptics touchpad.
  All I get is a preview menu and the animated demo, but nothing else (no control scroll box, no valve adjustment of the sensitivity or accidental touch function, etc.).

  I used to have a bunch full of controls with preinstalled Vista.
  I uninstalled, downloaded and reinstalled the driver from the Web of Synaptics site several times, without success. Is there a solution for this?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Toshiba pilot European page provides the drivers for Win 7 64 bit.
  I found the driver for the touchpad Win 7 64 bit called Alps Electric v 7.5.303.117

  Try this driver, even if you use 32 bit OS

  I tested my diet and it's OK

  I disassemble my laptop to check the connector and the power is OK of the external connector to the connector on the motherboard.

  with my battery, the computer works normally (but the battery is not more)

  You have an idea on how to solve this problem?
  What can I check?

  > Do you have an idea on how to fix this?
  If the battery and the mains adapter are ok, while a single problem can cause this: faulty motherboard.
  Maybe there is something wrong with the electronic power supply on the motherboard.

  Of course this is only my personal opinion, but I put t see any other reason for that

• Re: Please update by Satellite U500 to Windows 8?

  Please I want Upgrad satellite U500 (PSU8CE) of windows 8 and my PC is powered by the company?

  What is the solution? :(

  As you probably know that Toshiba will not support all models of laptop computers and all the Win8 support info you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/windows8-message
  Exact list of models supported, that you can find, if you open the Toshiba compatibility matrix.

  You can install the version of Win8 own to see how it works and also try to use some specific Toshiba tools available for new models of portable computers. Right now on this forum we don t have much feedback about Win8 on older models of laptops.

• 8.1 for Satellite U500 PSU82A Windows drivers

  I have a Satellite U500 (PSU82A-01W00M) - seems to have only been distributed in Ausralia.

  I installed windows 8.1 - Impossible to find 8.1 updates to driver for my model on the toshiba site.
  It offers no updates beyond win7 or Vista for my model.

  No idea if there is an equivalent model, ie download drivers for a model equivalent instead?

  The reason-my keboard acted strange since installing windows 8.1 - slap it by itself, but only when I use windows programs (MS Office) and without identifiable cause. Microsoft suggested to update the keyboard driver

  appreciate the pointers

  You will find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this model because Toshiba does not provide drivers Win 8.1 for this series of laptop. It s simply not supported to win 8.1

  But I m queries on the advice of Microsoft to update the keyboard driver.
  First of all, I must say that this keyboard driver is part of the Windows System. Any Windows system that you use (Win XP, Vista, Win 7, etc.) of the keyboard driver is still part of the system!

  And so for laptop and computer manufacturers don t provide drivers of special keyboard for Windows OS.

  To be honest, I think that this isn't a software/driver problem.
  I recommend you to check the functionality of the external keyboard. If everything was OK with the external keyboard, the problem could be linked to a malfunctioning internal keyboard.

  I was visiting my friend in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, it has a Toshiba Satellite U500 - 1F4 Laptop, the subtemplate is PSU9ME-OOCOOXAR

  She bought while working in Dubai, Saudi

  She spilled coffee on the keyboard, and of course, it now does not work correctly.
  I thought that it would be possible to remove and just wash it in hot water, perhaps to dissolve the coffee, but it does not work. There are six or seven key doesn't work is not on the keyboard.
  The rest of the laptop is great, no problem.

  I am now back in the United Kingdom, and I will try to find a keyboard for it. There is a lot on eBay and other places, but whenever I do a search for its model I get nothing.

  The numbers on the back of the keyboard are:-

  OKNO - VGIAR0209493000523

  I found various models U500 and U505 keyboards, so one of them would be?

  Thank you
  Geoff

  On eBay you can find so many keyboards. Just find one for U500 and it will fit for sure.

  * You have configured the virtual machine to use an operating system 64-bit client. However, the 64-bit mode is not possible. This host does not support VT.*

  Either way, my laptop is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, 3 GB RAM, Core2duo

  Hi hersi,.

  There are different models of U500 on the market with different hardware and virtualization is dependent on the BIOS and CPU. Not all Core2Duo processors support Intel VT technology.

  So before you start a lengthy discussion which U500 model you exactly? Can you post the exact model number please?
