  Hi spurnymartin,

  > removed windows 7 recovery disk
  To be honest that s does not erase. Did you delete the folder in HARD drive recovery or what exactly?

  Usually, you can reinstall Windows drive HARD or Toshiba recovery disc.

  If you n t have it more, you can order the CD from Toshiba. In my opinion you n t pay twice for the same thing because it s not a Toshiba error.

• 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 L500D - SSD and RAM upgrade question

  Hello

  Who are you? Ttime for some great upgades for this laptop and some few questions and I'll be happy to answer for me.

  1. is there an empty space to install a second hard drive SSD?

  2. If there is not can put off the hard drive DVD and in the empty space to fit an SSD? I need something like that? ---> fb4d http://cgi.ebay.com/CF-Card-2-5-Serial-ATA-SATA-SSD-HDD-UDMA-Adapter-/190537923405?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2c5cf1
  This is an adapter.

  3. the quantity of RAM max supported Satellite L500D? I installed 2GB and I have an extra plug and I want to install a single 4 GB RAM and 6 GB RAM total

  Its sounds good to you this idea? I thank you and have a nice day

  Hey,.

  As you can see on the underside of the laptop doesn t supports a second HDD because there is no second Bay HARD drive on the underside.
  The map you posted is unofficial so no one can say whether it compatible s part or not. For laptops Satellite AFAIK there is no CD/DVD Bay adapter, but you can ask a provider of service authorized for more details.

  The maximum RAM capacity depends on your phone model correct. L500D was delivered with different hardware, so you must post your exact model laptop number.

• Satellite U500-17F: problems with the new HARD drive

  Hi everyone, I got some troubleshooting with my Satellite and a new drive, I bought recently, because that is already damaged because of too many bad sectors. One is a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 Bg (WD3200BEKT model number). It should be a fast reader but is not with my Satellite.

  After having mounted the drive in the laptop, I ran a new installation (with full disk format} Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the necessary drivers (that I downloaded directly from the Page of Support Toshiba.)

  The problem is that the laptop needs a lot of time to start and also to disable, and whenever I try to run an application or start a program (for example Firefox, or just a few windows applications), the laptop freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds, the drive no longer works (you can hear leaders put in position 'parking' and the HDD LED control is constant) ", no lights flashing).

  It seems that the drive (during this 30-60 seconds) in something as a stand-by mode. I ran a few Western Digital diagnostic tools and the car looks all right to 100%. It works also without any problems in the other laptop (HP Pavilion DV6500). Could this be a problem with the controller (Intel ICH9M - E ATA AHCI controller) driver?

  Any suggestion?
  Thanx

  Hello

  You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check if you need a BIOS update. Of course I read in a few discussions on the similar question of Win XP you use Win 7 but its value to check the update of the BIOS and U500 series.

  In addition, I recommend check you the power of Windows 7 options.
  Disable in the power profile that you use power saving HDD.

  Just a question:
  You use the option AHCI in the BIOS?
  As far as I know it of possible to use either a compatible SATA AHCI mode.
  AHCI must be used because this option would use full SATA performance.

• Satellite A305-S6905 and Web Cam questions

  I apologize if there's another thread for this particular model and the question, I'm just extremely frustrated and after hundreds of searches through google, toshiba and chicony, I can't find a solution. My laptop {Toshiba Satellite A305-S6905} was originally Vista when buying. My uncle put upgraded to Windows 7 and in addition to the fact that he constantly tells me that "this copy of Windows is not genuine", my web cam suddenly stopped working. It worked fine on Vista.

  I uninstalled camera Assistance and reinstalled more than 8 times. I * think * I reinstalled the driver, but whenever I open (or try to open) helps the camera, I get the message: "Webcam is disabled or has failed." Please check your webcam settings '. I opened the Device Manager, but the Chicony webcam is not listed. Nothing about the webcam is listed. I restarted my laptop... believe me, I almost tried everything. I noticed that a lot of upgraders from Vista to Windows 7 have the same problem. Last resort, I decided to come on the website of the manufacturer of my laptop. I would appreciate help.

  Thank you in advance.

  Hello

  If there is no entry in the Device Manager, it's quite strange. If the device works properly it is listed under imaging devices like Chicony camera.
  Somehow, it seems that there is no link between the cam and the motherboard.

  All you can do now is to test the functionality with the settings and see if the problem persists.
  If the situation will be the same, you should contact the closest service and leave technician to check the cam feature.

• Satellite U500 - 1-8 - a few questions

  Hello everyone.

  I have a Toshiba U500 - 1 8. I bought it in Poland.
  I have a few questions on this model.

  1. why not have this model: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/product-support?

  2. is it possible to do an internal 3 G modem? (according to the technical specification, played with 3 G modem U500)

  3. is it possible to swap the video card for GF GT540M?

  Best regards

  > 1. Why not have this model: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/generic/product-support?
  First of all it is a user to user forum and I don t think that that these questions could be answered by the users of the common forum
  I can only assume why you don't find this unit maybe it was not to add to the store of data or similar

  The point is that U500 - 1 8 belongs to the series of PSU9ME like the other c U500
  So if you need the drivers for this device, I recommend you to choose this series manually on the European driver Toshiba page.

  > 2. is it possible to do an internal 3G modem? (according to the technical specification, played with 3 G modem U500)
  According to the specifications of the U500 8 - 1, the 3 G module is not available for this device.
  The computer laptop WiFi and BT only supports

  > 3. is it possible to swap the video card for GF GT540M?
  No, the GPU is part of the mobo.

  Hello

  First one comment:
  * I am updating my laptop regularly whenever I get alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center. *
  That s is nice, but certainly not necessary. When the system is working, do not touch or change anything. Maybe stupid sounds now, but I recommend you to remove the TEMPRO system. Believe me you don't need. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and original BIOS. It works perfectly and I don't want to take any chances and to change what anyone. Since last month, I have the Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. TEMPRO is already removed, and I am happy with the factory settings.

  All that you have done is OK, but at least you can try to reinstall entire OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at startup) to see if everything works well again. Sorry, but if this will not help, I think that you need the BIOS downgrade to the old version.

• Satellite U500-1FN - cannot use the scroll function

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite U500-1FN and after a format I have a problem with the touchpad. All the works expect to scroll.

  I downloaded the drivers from the Toshiba site, but nothing. I'm doing everything I check enable scrolling and everything.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  What version of Windows you have installed now and which the touchpad driver you installed exactly?

  Satellite U500, you install the Synaptics Touchpad and Alps. You have installed both?

• Can satellite U500-10N - I install Windows XP?

  Hello

  I bought the Satellite U500-10N and it has Vista, but I want to install XP, is it possible?

  My plan is to backup all my files and then put the installation CD of XP, delete all files in Vista and record fresh new copy of XP. And then install all the drivers of nessesery to my laptop to functional normal? Is this possible? :\ I have
  fear that if I install XP some features on my laptop will not work.

  I am in need of help, please if someone knows something I will be grateful

  Hello

  Theoretically, you can install Windows XP, why not? ;)

  But I put t understand why you want to use such an old operating system. I mean the Satellite U500 is really fast enough for Vista and Windows 7 is present in a few days. You should be happy with your pre-installed Vista version that should work well.

  The point is that Toshiba doesn't offer drivers U500 and XP so you must collect all the drivers yourself on the Internet that takes a lot of time. In addition, I think that some special functions, like the FN keys will not work because it you can get a driver from Toshiba.

  It s your choice what you do but I'd wait for Windows 7 If you don't like Vista Satellite U500 n should also support Windows 7.

• Noise rattling during playback of music files on my Satellite U500 - 18 p

  Hello world!

  I have a problem with the sound of my Toshiba Satellite U500 - 18 p.

  I bought 4 days ago and suddenly found himself that music files and even system sounds make rattling in portable speakers and headphones also. I have not modified parameters. It is strange that the same files of music sometimes a good sound and next time when I play them they produce loud clicking.
  I tried to install the new on official website of Toshiba sound card drivers, but the problem is still not resolved.

  Please help me if you know what to do in this case.

  Hello Lidia

  The laptop is all new so don't waste your time with such experiences.
  Install the OS by using HARD drive recovery option - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9102IR0000R01.htm - and test it with the own operating system preinstalled.
  If the same thing happens again, contact your local dealer, explain the situation and ask for Exchange.

  I have Satellite U500-1EX and until now his and everything else works perfectly.
