• Satellite U500-1F5 - how to turn on Bluetooth?

  I just bought Satellite U500-1F5 and I want to know how to turn on bluetooth?

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  You can activate Bluetooth using the FN + F8 key combination. Just press this combination to turn on and if your laptop is equipped with a WLAN hardware switch, turn it on too.

  After this start Toshiba Bluetooth tool and search for Bluetooth devices. :)

  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 - 10 M some problems with utilities

  Hello

  Foremost the U500 - 10 M belongs to the series of PSU5EE.
  I put t know what version of BIOS that you use but it seems that the latest BIOS for PSU5EE and Win 64 bit series are BIOS 2.40 - WIN.
  You could update the BIOS if you use an older version.

  All the tools of Toshiba Windows 7 need VAP (value added package).
  This package must be installed first!
  After the installation of VAP you could install other tools like Eco Utility, PC Health Monitor, hardware or other configuration

  > Before reinstalling, when I pressed the FN key - on the top of the screen will appear the help bar. Now this bor does not appear. What are the tools are not enough?
  Keys FN utility need to Support Flash Cards!
  I didn t find map Flash in zone download U500 so I recommend you to choose another series of notebook and to download the utility of the flashcard from there.

• Satellite A200-1d(a): various problems with Windows Vista Mail

  Model: Satellite A200-1d(a)
  O/s: Windows Vista editions Home Premium more
  Background: Recommended for a parent, now transformed into 'support harassment ".

  The behavior of Windows Mail is displayed is non-standard and unreliable, for example:

  Creating new folders local they are initially displayed in the list of folders (left sidebar), if the mail is restarted they disappear and reappear only if they are selected after clicking on "local folders". Other than the Inbox, local folders and the Microsoft? (used for notes, etc.), all the other default folders are missing, either sent, sent, drafts box, etc.

  Another minor issue is that windows mail does not seem to recognize when the status of the internet connection changes from unavailable to available, in order to empty the Outbox and send emails, it is necessary to restart windows Messaging.

  A number of occasions, all messages disappear from your Inbox and all other folders are not available, the only solution to this problem seems to be a reboot of the laptop.

  This link seems to suggest that there is a problem with the security software which is now Norton Internet Security (configured and bundled with the laptop):
  http://forums.techguy.org/all-other-software/551829-Windows-Mail-doesn ' t-display - messages.html

  I tried to disable email inbound/outbound scanning in Norton, but it made no difference.
  Next step is to apply:

  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB7701X30005R01.htm

  and then remove Norton Internet security

  Any ideas?
  Other than the foregoing the laptop is fine, looks like a problem of s/w for me.

  Hello

  I can't provide an exactly the solution to this problem of Vista Mail but to me, it looks like a Microsoft Vista operating system problem and not Toshiba Satellite.
  I don t think there could be a problem with the hardware that's why we should look for solutions.

  Now you will ask where a software solution? In my opinion, you should check the knowledge base Microsoft for some useful tips.
  http://support.Microsoft.com/search/
  and the solution center in Windows Vista
  http://support.Microsoft.com/windowsvista

  But first make sure that your Vista operating system is up-to-date and you have already installed all the updates and patches!

  Good bye

• Black screen after login on my Satellite U500-1f5

  After that I am connected to my laptop, the screen went white as completely black with just the presentation of cursor.
  I can start the Task Manager, but nothing else. I tried safe mode and it worked fine.

  This has occurred in normal mode. So, I had to do a system restore and it worked.
  But I'm afraid I'm going to reproduce.

  Anyone know why this happened and how to avoid and resolve this problem?

  Thanks in advance!

  > So, I had to do a system restore and it worked.
  > But I'm afraid I'm going to reproduce.

  Who knows what happened here if the system restore worked correctly, then it was certainly a problem of software and software problems can occur because of some updates or a compatibility issue between the system and 3rd party software.

  PS: What laptop and what system are you using?

• Satellite U500-1F5 - portable computer stops playing games

  The problem is that my laptop stop just when I start a game. This has not happened before, but when I try to run Mass effect 3 or crysis 2, it just stops. It is not always shuts down, only sometimes.

  Could be a problem of high temperature.
  Try to clean the cooling fans using a jet of compressed air.

  In the case where your isn t too high temperature, I recommend you to update or reinstall the graphics driver may be a problem with the graphic driver too.

• Satellite U500 - copy process is very slow

  Hi friends,

  I use the Satellite U500-1f5, for the last 2 months. It's core i5 with Windows 7. The copy process is still very slow and sometimes starting is a bit slower.

  Can someone show a valid answer for this problem?

  Hey mate,

  Looks like you have installed lots of software that slows down the performance of your laptop.
  If the programs you have installed?

  Theoretically it could also be caused due to a virus or a trojan. You should check your laptop computer for viruses using a good antivirus like AntiVir program.

  Try to defragment the HARD drive. If you install/uninstall programs, you should defragment the HARD drive from time to time. You can use the built-in Windows defragmentation tool.

• Satellite U500 - Eco utility and Windows activation problem

  Hello everyone

  I'm having some trouble with my satellite U500. Recently, I had to reinstall windows on my laptop and the problem is it not activate because of my motherboard was replaced some time ago (I have no more a recovery partition). I want to know is if it is possible to make it work again with recovery Toshiba dvd or by any other means.

  The other problem involves toshibas eco utility. Whenever I try to install it im getting an error message empty all I can do is click ok and then the installation is aborted. If someone had issues similar or is able to help me I would really appreciate it thx in advance. :)

  If you have original Toshiba Recovery disk use for installing Windows. Recovery image is already enabled, so it shouldn't be a problem. If you use a clean version that is another story.

  I hope that the Toshiba service provider has replaced the motherboard correctly and rewritten DMI information.

  Use please recovery disk and recovery image. This recovery image contains all of the tools of Toshiba and utility and all must be installed correctly including eco utility.

  Hello

  How about driver sound, display driver and BIOS update.
  Have you tried that?

  To be honest, I don't know if this could help you or not, but if an update is available, then you should do this

  You said, audio performance is best when the GPU is disabled
  It chip NVidia s then maybe you should take a look in the nVida forum in order to get more details

• Need help to solve the problem on my Satellite U500 PSU9ME

  Dear Toshiba

  I've always used laptops for years working time or personal laptops; I decided to change Toshiba because I hear a lot how they are and high quality!

  Since I bought my laptop and I'm having all sorts of problems with it!

  1. 1st day I bought the laptop, the screen started black out on me and come back several times, I went to the dealer who has replaced for me right now, but the replacement does the same thing for a while even with the bios and drivers updated and then after a few days it worked fine.

  2. I've updated of bios easily to v1.6 and now 1.7 released and I tried hard updated but the update won t work at all, it keeps stuck to the CMD screen.

  3 today, I had a massage from warning saying that the problem with the cooling system has been detected and I need to return it to the service!

  I'll take it tomorrow at the service, but the laptop was purchased on March 24, 2010 only! And it has been registered online on March 26, 2010;

  The service will open and check it out or fix it but it is neither normal nor acceptable when a laptop cost me almost 1200USD and worked less than 2 months and the experience of this.

  I have didn't even use it again as heavy I used to other brands which has never had a single issue!

  This does not mean your laptops are bad, but IE please help and provide solutions or maybe this model needs an urgent review!

  Thank you!

  Seems, that it was a software issue since I noticed a similar problem after receiving some updates from Microsoft is the updated graphics driver

  You're right, this is not normal cell behavior but it must be said that it s a machine and the machine could begin to malfunction it s nothing unusual and in your case, it was simply bad luck that happened after a short time of use

  I had a Toshiba laptop for 6 years and guest what? It s work great since the day of purchase trees

• Satellite U500 - problem with Windows 7 and HSDPA USB modem

  Hello
  My wife recently purchased a Toshiba Satellite U500, that came pre-installed with Windows 7 64-bit.

  A few days later, I bought a modem high-speed HSDPA USB by Alcatel. The problem started immediately that we plugged the modem, that drivers would not install.
  Then I went to the Web of Alcatel site and found the drivers for windows 7 for her. But then we hit another road block since now the drivers are installed and it does not detect the modem, but whenever we try to connect to the internet, screen flickers at the connection for a moment and then disconnects again.

  I found cela a lil strange so I tried to connect using my own pc which has a 32-bit Windows 7 and it works fine there.
  It is the same for a machine that still had Windows XP. Makes me think its something to do with 64-bit Windows 7 itself. Could someone help please?

  Thank you and best regards.

  I don't think that someone here can help you with this problem. You will be very happy if someone on this forum has exactly the same model of laptop including same USB modem.

  In my opinion, you have two options: either you can clarify this point with the support of Alcatel (they have enough experience with own products) or with people from the nearest Toshiba service provider service.

  Have you tried to test the features with the Win7 32-bit version?
