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 U500-176: 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 - black edges on external monitor

Hello

I have problems with the HDMI to the TV connection.
FULL HD resolution is 42 "FULL HD TV about 4 cm of black borders all around the display.
I tried with 3 different HDMI cables, 2 different FULL HD TV and a LCD display, but were all of the black edges. Black borders will appear when you start computer (to the first screen Toshiba and BIOS too).
With the same cables and monitors but other laptop's picture with no edges.

When I tried with one HDMI (stl. U500) who have had on the another DVI output (screen LCD FULL HD) side has been the picture without black edges. With normal VGA - VGA cable is FULL HD photo also without edges.
Where could be a problem?
The system is Windows 7 64 bit with the latest ATI display driver and the latest version of the BIOS (2.20).

Greetings

Hi Michael,

I m not a Satellite U500 owner but I guess there must be something wrong with the settings. I've never had a problem with the HDMI connection on my external monitor or TV. It s still works fine.

In any case, what screen resolution you are using the external monitor? You must use the native screen resolution on external monitor. Then, you should be able to use the full screen here.
Check this box!

Satellite U500 and Bluetooth on Linux?

I was unable to configure the bluetooth on my Toshiba Satellite U500 - 11 d with Ubuntu 9.04.

Documentation, there are two main methods for activate bluetooth which is service provider of Bios (Phoenix or bios Toshiba bios). Load modules omnibook.ko or toshiba_acpi.ko (respectively). However, none of the known solutions work properly :(

Satellite U500 seems to incorporate a FRIEND (american megatrends...) bios. Is there a third option for bios machine FRIEND get the bluetooth in Linux?

Have you updated your version of Ubuntu (apt - get update) already?
As far as I myself remember with the standard version of first 9.04 Bluetooth didn't work, but worked again later on after a few updates.

Re: Satellite U500-115 - problem with the bluetooth mouse

Hello everyone,

I use a bluetooth mouse Saitek mouse with my Satellite U500-115 (OS: windows 7) and a have a real problem that is boring:

Every time that I do not use the mouse for 10 or 20 seconds the pilot (or what ever) rocking in a kind of 'sleep', and it can take up to 1 minute until the mouse is available again. It is defenitely is not a mouse problem. I tried the mouse with a laptop LG and a windows xp sytem and it worked perfectly.

I tried the following:

1 put in place the current on the site of Toshiba bluetooth stack--> having not caused no difference in behavior.
2 put the mode to 'Full Power' energy saving--> that seemed to have some positive effect, but not always. Sometimes the time until the sleep mode begins seems to be a little more but not always. In the "Full power" the mouse seems to go back a little more quickly when he woke from the mode "standby mode".

Test: as I wrote this text, the mouse driver began the "sleep mode", now I'll move the mouse and take the time needed until the mouse will respond again a moment):
45 seconds

Is it possible to put the bluetooth HID in some sort of "permanent way"? At least the touchpad also reacts independable mode of energy of the laptop; This is why I think that it should be possible to use a bluetooth HID in the same way.

Thanks for any help!

Michael

Hello

Go to Device Manager, click Bluetooth radios and choose the generic bluetooth adapter. Then, right-click and select power management properties, umark, allow the computer to turn off this device to save power and press Ok.

I don't have a bluetooth mouse, so I can't check if works. Just assume...

Fan of Satellite U500 - 11 c sometimes does not start running Win 7 64 bit

Hello

I have two Toshiba Satellite U500 - 11 c on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. Sometimes, after a new start of Windows, the fans start and just run a few seconds sometimes. When this occurs, the CPU temperature gets very hot (do not know exactly how much). I found a way to return to a behavious normal just unplug the power cable and reconnect it just a second or two after.

Two laptop computers have the latest Bios and drivers of Toshiba. Somehow, it's the same behavious as under Linux.

With these experiences, I just thought that Toshiba laptop are not well properly handle ACPI Fans and tempartures. Is it really inevitable?

I hope that this feedback can help...

Hi mate

Cooling modules are controlled by the fan which is stored in the BIOS table.
Fan table contains details and information when and how fast a fans should run.

Besides computers laptop Toshiba supports protection against overheating. This protection monitors the temperature, and if the temperature is too high, the laptop turns off automatically.

If the laptop does not turn off automatically then I suppose that the temperature is not too high

Have you checked the image on an external monitor?

In my opinion you should try to update the display driver. Maybe it works
In addition, you can change the display drightness using the FN + F6 and F7 key combination.

Normally, if the screen is very very he dim s inverter malfunction a FL and must be replaced from an authorized service provider.

Satellite U500 - 10 M, Windows 7 x 64

THX...

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 U500-115 - unknown devices after the Installation of Win XP

Hello

I just installed Windows XP on a Satellite U500 - 115 (PSU5EE) and cannot get rid of several unknown devices in Device Manager.

Before to install the operating system, I changed settings AHCI in the BIOS to Compatibility-Mode (IDE), so I don't need to inject the SATA driver during installation.

These are the unknown devices:

ACPI\PNP0C32\1 (location: Intel ICH9M LPC Interface Controller - 2919)

ACPI\PNP0C32\2 (location: Intel ICH9M LPC Interface Controller - 2919)

ACPI\PNP0C32\3 (location: Intel ICH9M LPC Interface Controller - 2919)

ACPI\PNP0C32\4 (location: Intel ICH9M LPC Interface Controller - 2919)

ACPI\TOS6205\2 & DABA3FF & 0 (location: System compatible ACPI Microsoft)

Of course, I installed driver chipset and graphics driver from the toshiba download page, but the unknown devices are still there! Can you please tell me what kind of driver I need to install ACPI devices - and get rid of these unknown devices?

Thanks in advance,
Hans

Hello

In my opinion the unknown devices belongs to the SATA interface controller and these appear as unknown device because you have installed the XP compatible mode.

Try to install the Intel Storage Manager driver.

ACPI\TOS6205 device can be a Bluetooth device.
You must install the battery Bluetooth to get rid of unknown device.

Satellite U500 - 1 6 - some missing drivers on Windows 7

Hello.

Satellite U500 - 1 6, Windows 7 Ultimate edition.
I downloaded the drivers of page service for similar model with i5 - 430 m because there are no drivers available for my own T - A still.

But after installing the drivers, I found that the system did not some drivers because the digital signature is not fair.

Drivers for:
-Driver Turbo boost
-Bluetooth (Bluetouth ACPI)
-Ricoh card driver reader

Can you help me with this?

Hi Said,

What version of Windows 7 you are using? 32-bit or 64-bit?
For 64 bit I can find all the drivers for your laptop. It belongs to the series of PSU9ME according to the Web from Toshiba website.

In addition, it would be interesting to know if you get an error message during the installation of the drivers.

I would recommend also installing the drivers yourself through the Device Manager where you can choose the driver yourself.

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

If you want to protect your notebook BIOS user password set - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ9202JE0000R01.htm
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
