Satellite U500-10Z is interrupted?

Hello

I am considering buying the U500-10z, but I heard it is discontinued (oviously Comet sell remaining stock) I was wondering why it is discontinued - is something wrong with this model that the effects of its functions?

I also have another question regarding the U500 range, I've read reviews praising the quality of the keyboard and others refrain, it is just the opinion of the examiner or different models do have a different keyboard quality (as keyboard quality is important to me), if yes which?

Hello

Therefore, the U500-10Z stop?
There are different models of U500. The U500-10Z seems to be designed for the British market.
In other countries, you can get other U500 units.

But be aware also that many different series and sooner or later all released laptop series would be replaced by other Toshiba release series.

But U500 is new on the market so you should be able to order it.

  • Satellite U500-10z - dead pixel

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500-10z comet.com, and while booting it I saw the brilliant green pixel.
    I had the front stuck pixels, but they were weak, so I lived with them - but it is very bright and causes problems when you look at the movies/i-player.

    I tried the unsticking of pixel programs, massaging him, tapping, pressing, everything - but nothing works.
    I can do, and although I believe need toshiba 8 stuck pixels for a return, the comet will be kinder.

    As well as the stuck pixel, there's a white bright light (think it is backlight problem) or an other pixel stuck.

    Any help/advice is welcome-thanks

    Hello

    I doubt that the ASP will replace the display under warranty.
    I found this FAQ from Toshiba:

    Information about the tolerance of failure of the technology and pixel of the screen for LCD screens
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9502LZ0000R01.htm

    The sum of dead pixel depends on the resolution of the screen.
    So you will need 8 dead for a replacement using a resolution of 1400 x 1050 pixels.

    But maybe the laptop dealer could replace Notepad ask the guy in the shop!

  • Satellite U500 - 18L - stops randomly without notice

    Hello!

    my laptop suddenly and randomly turn off (as if I plug the power) at any time (after 5, 10, 30 or 60 minutes or even more than that), but it works normally in safe mode, without any problem. I searched the internet but I have found no help.
    -It is not a heating problem.
    -J' tried to remove the graphics card driver.
    -J' even got Toshiba HDD recovery.

    but the problem still there. What in the world could be the reason? and why it only happens in normal mode but not in safe mode. so frustrated :(

    Help, please

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. My first thought was maybe overheating.
    Satellite U500 is old enough laptop model, and I can imagine the fan cooling or cooling rack can be full of dust that blocks the flow of regular air.

    Safe mode is a mode type of diagnosis of Windows and most device drivers are not loaded. Of course in this mode CPU does not work under stress and many processes are not active. In this laptop mode will not produce as much heat as usual.

    Of course, I can't say with certainty that overheating is the reason described interruptions, but in my opinion, your first step should be portable professional cleaning. After doing this, you can check the feature and is if the same thing happens again. If so, it may be a hardware problem.

  • 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

    Hello

    After than that nobody will be able to boot up your laptop and even pass BIOS check.

    This way your mobile phone will be protected.

  • 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

  • Satellite U500 - 11 C - power supply unit not detected

    Hello

    on my Satellite U500 - 11 C, the power supply is no longer recognizes (the rest green LED turns off when I plug)

    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.

  • Satellite L505-10z - Win 7 tools are not compatible with Win 8

    My laptop is Satellite L505-10z. I installed Windows 8 Pro and I noticed that many drivers (especially PVAT) I downloaded at Toshiba support site Web (which are originally for Windows 7) doesn't work do not! When Toshiba released drivers for Windows 8? My model will be included in the driver updates?

    Thank you

    > downloaded from the site Web of Toshiba support (which are originally for Windows 7) works not!

    Win 7 tools and utilities are made for Win 7 and Win No 8

    > When Toshiba released drivers for Windows 8? My model will be included in the driver updates?
    I think you should ask Toshiba. It is a user community.
    But I think that Toshiba would begin with driver support if Win 8 would be OFFICIALLY available on the market.

  • Satellite A200-10Z (PSAE0E) - blue screen when I try to play the video

    Hey Geeks,

    I have a serious problem; I use my laptop for the last 3 years with no problems, but since yesterday, it the BSOD every time you try to play flash videos or youtube. I tried to update the version of adobe flash after unstalling the existing drive flash but when even the reason persisted. Finally, I reinstalled the 32-bit version of Windows Vista from the recovery of the product back up drive after I lost all my data, guess what the problem has not disappeared. I can't play youtube videos?

    I think it's maybe a problem with the BIOS update, this could be a corrupt problem display driver or should I think that there is a hardware problem as such. Is the existing graphics card Mobile Intel (r) Express Chipset family 945GM. I tried to update the BIOS from the Toshiba support site, but there is no available for Satellite A200-10Z update. So point is should I try to reinstall the operating system once more, or should I be given the laptop to a service center to check any malfunction of the equipment.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hey Buddy,

    Generally speaking, it is not easy to say why this happens, but if you have already tried a restore of the Toshiba Recovery disk system and the problem still exists, it looks like more of a hardware malfunction. The recovery disk contains a pre-tested picture to factory settings, so everything should work correctly in the case otherwise it seems to be a hardware problem.

    But he s strange why this happens only with videos. What you might try before contacting an authorized service provider is updated the display driver. Have a look at the Toshiba website, if a newer version is available for your laptop.

    Good luck! :)

  • My Satellite C855-10Z wouldn't turn on

    Hello

    I came to the work and my knees don't turn upward. I had left the charger plugged into the wall, but not plugged into the laptop. The laptop ran out of battery during the day because it was not supported. As expected, it won't turn and so I plugged in the charger. A red light nothing happened - flashed temporarily on the laptop when I pressed the button. I tried different Sockets and waited a day, but it still does not work.

    What do you think that could be the problem? It's likely the charger or the laptop?

    I was looking to buy a replacement AC adapter (input voltage: AC adapter to auto-detection (100/240 V) for worldwide use integer; output voltage: 19 V, output current: 3.42 A) but could not find one online. Some of those recommended for the laptop model I (Toshiba Satellite C855-10Z) or at least that they do not have the same appearance. Those on sale do not seem to have the cable connecting the charger to the socket.

    Thank you very much

    Hi Susan
    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. Disconnect the power and remove the battery. After doing this press the power for about 20 seconds. Leave the laptop for a while and try to start Notepad using the power supply only.

    What happens when you do this?
    By the way: is guaranteed still valid?

  • Satellite T210-10Z: letters from defective keyboard 'm', 'j', 'u' and the number '7 '.

    I just bought a laptop Satellite T210-10Z while in a trip to Europe.

    The keyboard, however, the doesn´t work fine. The letters * ', 'j', 'u' * and number * '7' * does not apear on the screen after we press one of them.
    They will apear on the screen, if we do a greater pressure of repeateddly press the key several times.

    Is there a suggestion on how to fix this?

    Hello

    Sounds like a malfunction of the keyboard.
    Just the replacement of keyboard helps you get this problem solved.

    Then get in touch with a local ASP and ask for help, I think that the guarantee must be still valid and in this case this should be done without charge.

    Good luck

  • 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.
