Tecra S11 - FN + F5 won't switch to VGA screen

I have a problem with the Tecra S11 series.

When I press the FN + F5 button to poster that the system refuses to respond to my request and automatically comes back on the LCD screen. (Or in the case of an external VGA monitor to the monitor).

Because of this problem, I am unable to switch between the screen of my laptop and my VGA monitor when I want to work in my office.

I found a few ways around this issue, like the mode of presentation, but this isn't the way it is intended.

Can someone help me with this problem?
I already tried to install either the 'Hotkey utilities for display devices"and"change of display device. Both packages try to start, give the cmd.exe window and then the error output a "; Installation Failed. "message.

More information about the system:
Toshiba Tecra S11 - 11G (PTSE3E)
Operating system: Windows XP (company policy).
BIOS version: 2.20
THIS version: 1.70

I hope someone has an idea about this.

With respect,
Rik

According to portable documentation this laptop came with Windows XP Home edition installation disc.
This Toshiba WXP recovery image is installed on your system s WXP own Tecra or company?

As a rule, what you need is:
# V6.06.03 TOSHIBA common modules
# TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for V3.5.1.0 display devices
# TOSHIBA screen device utility change V3.2.1.0

These three tools are important for the functionality of FN + F5.
Do you use the VGA VGA cable or an adapter?

  • Tecra S11 - bluescreen when the WiFi switch is on

    I've known several accidents suddenly blue screen, with apparently no advice. After several tests of different conditions I counted it takes place when the WiFi switch is on. So, it should be associated with Bluetooth or WiFi.

    Any suggestions how to proceed further? apparently I have the latest drivers (Windows 7 64)
    Thanks, Guido

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you already checked the BIOS if you have installed the latest version? If this is not the case check this on the Web from Toshiba site and make an update of the BIOS. Maybe it helps

    But I had a similar problem last year and the solution was exchanging the WLAN card.

    I think your Tecra S11 should still be under warranty and in this case that the repair will be free. :)

  • Tecra S11 - WiFi does not work

    Hello

    I have a problem with our new laptops Toshiba Tecra S11 - 11 G PTSE3E WiFi card.

    I have preinstalled a notebook with Win7 Pro x 64, all drivers for toshiba and laptop preconditioned / tools intel.
    Then I have the laptop syspreped, took a picture of her and out of the image on the other laptop Tecra S11.

    Now, I have the same problem on all laptops: the WiFi adapter (Intel Centrino Advanced - N 6200 AGN) is the last driver installed, but it cannot access wireless networks (he can find same).
    The switch for wireless devices is on. FN + F8 also said, that the WiFi is enabled.
    When I try to create an ad hoc wireless network it says "an unexpected error has occurred."

    After right click on "Wireless Network Connection" > 'Diagnostic' Windows encounters a problem.
    He said 'There could be a problem with the driver for the wireless network connection card', but Windows can not solve the problem (surprising wow ;-)).
    I reinstalled the driver several times with no improvement. Update the driver with windows update did not too.

    I installed the following portable tools:

    -AuthenTec Fingerprint Software
    -Intel management engine components
    -TOSHIBA Fingerprint Utility
    -TOSHIBA HDD Protection
    -TOSHIBA Mobile broadband device
    -TOSHIBA Value Added Package
    -TOSHIBA Wireless Manager

    In the Device Manager are no remaining unknown device. In information system under "Components" > "Problem Devices" are no devices listed.

    I have no ideas left how solve the problem...

    What security software you have installed?

    Maybe the software blocking Wifi connections.

    You can run the Toshiba recovery to rule out a software problem.

  • TECRA S11 - passage of Windows 7 32 bit to Windows 7 64 bit: how?

    Hi all

    My TECRA S11-114 was delivered with a Windows 7 Pro 32 bit installed. I would switch to the 64 bit, but I'm at a loss about how to proceed.

    I tried the things:
    -Restore to the factory settings: does not offer a choice between two versions
    -restore from a DVD I created through recovery Toshiba Recovery utility: same result

    Things I have:
    -Recovery DVDs created with recovery Toshiba utility
    -Recovery DVDs for XP Pro, your computer

    Advice would be much appreciated! Thank you!

    Hello

    I think that this laptop has been preinstalled with just OS Win 7 32 bit and you get the other Win XP DVD drive to install Win XP (if necessary)

    To my knowledge, Toshiba offers with own books with images different and some models are preinstalled Win 7 32 bit and 64 bit OS and some are preinstalled only with 32-bit.

    So I guess you just Win 32 bit OS and you can buy 64-bit Win 7 If you want to use this

  • Tecra S11 - 11G - external monitor flickers when the Wifi is enabled

    I have a similar problem on my brand new Tecra S11 - 11G. The only difference is that the problem is present only when I have my laptop plugged in and turned on WiFi radio.

    If I turn the Wifi radio off and keep the laptop connected to the power source, the external screen keeps flickering. If I keep the WiFi radio and disconnect it from the power source blinking stops, too.

    I reported this problem to Toshiba customer to the Portugal (where I bought it) and they gave me the ticket case #710008193. They said that they would not replace the defective unit and that I should leave for repair. It is absolutely amazing because the laptop is brand new. A customer still expects to have a well work product when needed out of the box without having to call the repair man. I think it is their obligation to replace the damaged aircraft. In addition, this laptop is part of a fleet of the company who buys only Toshiba laptops and we are talking about a Tecra and not a Satellite. We deserve more respect from Toshiba.

    In a year or two, I have a new laptop (company policy) and it surely won't be a Toshiba.

    > They said they would not replace the defective unit and that I should leave for repair. It is absolutely amazing because the laptop is brand new

    That is why amazing? A hardware malfunction can still happen and this happens not only in the world of the computer/laptop. Therefore, manufacturers provide a service to a client and failure may be fixed and covered by the warranty.

    > A customer still waiting to have a well work product when needed out of the box without having to call the repair man. I think it is their obligation to replace the damaged aircraft

    Of course you are right, but in the reality of things happening.
    My PS3 died after a short period of time. It has been fixed and replaced under warranty conditions, but this isn't a reason for me to say; I would not buy PS3 more because of this problem.
    My BMW had some engine problems, that it was fixed under warranty and I would buy this car again once because this car is great and I think other builders are no better, and I think this would also happen to other manufacturers

    That s my personal opinion in the opinion

  • How to change sound on Tecra S11?

    The sound sounds aweful! Which speakers could buy and replace in my Toshiba Tecra S11?

    To be honest I m really surprised by your question. Always is that laptop Tecra are designed for commercial and designed for use in offices, meeting rooms and the customer visit so the sound is not so important in the whole of the package. This is not portable multimedia, so you probably won't find any Tecra with high quality speakers inside.

    OK, I can understand you and maybe it's not a bad idea to have Perfect sound on this model of laptop, but I think this is the wrong place for your question. What you need is professional advice.

    I recommend you contact the nearest authorized maintainer and ask for help. They have service manuals and know what speakers are inside and what speakers can be integrated as a replacement. Maybe some high quality of harman/kardon speakers can be used for the upgrade, but that one is not easy to say.

    If you do upgrade successfully please let us know and share all information with us.

    Before this problem, I have lived several blue screen unexpected crahe when wireless switch and using a wifi connection. So I suspect that there is a HW poblem, although all the tests are OK.

    Thanks, Guido

    Hi Guido,

    This means that in front of your laptop wireless switch is turned on?
    That's ok, but you can also disable WLAN using FN + F8 key combination. So try to press this key combination to activate the WLAN.

    Check this box!

    By the way: wireless network card appears correctly in the Device Manager?

    The same series (example: S11 - 11 d) was also equipped with the LCD HD + (1600 * 900)

    You are right. both models have different LCD displays but the same graphics card. I can't say for sure, but I'm sure you can use the HD screen + with your laptop.

  • Tecra S11 touchpad hardware replacement

    Hello

    It is a little slow, he is sometimes slow to react. I've already implemented in the extended in the mouse settings option.

    where can I buy a new one?

    In my opinion if you want to get any compatible part for all Toshiba laptops, you should contact Toshiba service provider authorized in your country.

    ASP is able to supply all the parts of the laptop. Even if the part is not available, they are able to order the essential part of the Toshiba s doll.

  • Tecra S11 with BIOS 3.50 - USB mouse is not recognized at startup

    Hello

    I installed the latest version of the BIOS in my TECRA S11 - U10, and now my "HID" device does not-that is to say my dongled USB wireless mouse. I must now remove the dongle and re - insert before the TECRA sees the mouse.
    Boring, just about usable, but it's a PITA and I'm aware of always 'making/breaking' the USB connection.

    Must be something to do with the BIOS and see devices HID on "start"?
    Finally, I enabled Legacy USB in the BIOS device support, but still no joy. In addition, have tested the mouse on other laptops - works well at the start, so NOT the mouse.

    Suggestions, people? Thank you...

    Hello

    Disconnect your USB mouse and go to Device Manager.
    Remove all USB hubs and USB controllers in Device Manager list.
    Reboot the laptop.
    Wait until all the USB ports have recognised and installed again.
    Then connect the USB mouse and check how it works.

    You should also test different USB ports available on this laptop.

  • Tecra S11-128 - hardware replacement

    Hi all,

    I'm sorry for my English not good.

    I have a problem: my Tecra S11-128 pc is dead.

    When the power is connected, the power led is light. When I press the power button, there is no answer. Nothing. Dead.

    I tried to get it repaired in a technical centre, but they said that they cannot fix it.

    On eBay, I found this motherboard: http://www.ebay.de/itm/Toshiba-Tecra-S11-168-Motherboard-Mainboard-fuer-i5-/141290303681?ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ: A: 1123

    But the description says "Tecra S11-168",

    Is it possible to change the my Tecra S11-128 with the Tecra S11-168? Are they compatible?

    Thank you.

    It seems that two laptop computers Tecra are the same. In other words, they have the same part number (PTSE3E), so I think you can buy it.

  • Tecra S11 - market auto in the BIOS

    Furthermore, is it possible to turn on with a USB keyboard or usb receiver infra-red?

    Hello

    > I have a Toshiba Tecra S11 and I want to on my laptop when I plug in the power cable.
    > I can't find all of the features in my BIOS of energy auto on, or something like that.

    I've never heard of these characteristics and to my knowledge, that this option does not work, there is in the BIOS released for Toshiba laptops.

    In my case the BIOS contains an option like Wake Up LAN or Wake up on the keyboard.
    This allows the laptop to wake up sleep mode by LAN or the keyboard.

    The option that you're looking for should be something like power on USB etc, but I doubt that its share of the current BIOS
