• Satellite L655-158 - no cooling fan pedestal Grill

  Hi all

  Just a quick question, I am repairing a toshiba satellite l655-158 for someone and found the cooling fan grille is blocked.
  I took apart and it is just molded plastic on the other side but the fan is located directly above where the grid should be.
  It doesn't have the grid on the side to evacuate the hot air, but nowhere to slide fresh of air.

  The grill outside, but it looks as if it had not been completed at the factory if that makes sense.

  Also the heat sink is attached to the CPU and short cooling fins but does not connect to the GPU along the way that I find a bit strange considering she will work directly on it but does not connect to it and to not provide the GPU with a cooling.

  So I guess my question is, is this something supposed to toshiba do or maby a mistake at the factory.

  He finds it's the GPU which is the defective part, but looking at these defects is not surprising that the GPU has failed.

  Sorry to babble a bit but I just couldn't find any info on the internet.

  Any info on this would be a great help.

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello Jamie

  To be honest, I can't imagine such errors can occur. You know that every laptop manufacturer produce hundreds of thousands computers laptops and such errors are visible.

  Similar thing is on my Satellite A660. Inside, there is place for cooling but the holes are disabled.
  I just hope you're good in laptop repair and you will be able to fix a friends laptop. ;)

  "Times that are up to six times faster than with USB 2.0 powered Seagate FreeAgent GoFlex Upgrade Cable of eSATA transfer is designed to keep pace with you, to offer you!

  Hello

  > So my question is the compatible adapter with the port eSata on the L655-158
  There are just sort of eSATA port. If the external HARD disk supports eSATA interface so I guess you can connect this external HARD disk to the port eSATA to the Satellite L655-158

• Question on the display resolution of Vista on Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E)

  There was my laptop today for the Vista upgrade patterns. Found the drivers ok, but the Nvidia drivers from Toshiba for the 7600 light only support the max resolution of 1024 x 768 on a screen 17 "wide. I looked on Nvidia and there is none for Vista for the maps in the series go.

  Any ideas or is the game of waiting, both for Vista capable?

  Hello

  I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and found the version of nVidia 9.7.4.8 display driver.
  It seems that the pilot was transferred to 15/03/07 and it seems that there is a newer version.
  Well, the laptop supports without a doubt a higher screen resolution so as you say the wait for the new driver could be the key

• Re: Display the update driver on Satellite L655-1Jn

  I'm waiting for the update of the display driver for my laptop Satellite L655-1Jn.

  Is it possible that the update has been release 8.7? In the ATI site, the latest available driver is 11.10, is there another way to install the new drivers without waiting from Toshiba that I think that it won't happen because the latest version was more than 6 months ago!

  Thanks to tips to help

  Hey slash

  As you probably know display driver support is limited to mobile units and the display driver update will not be offered so often.

  Due to the specific and limited design laptop cooling capacity manufacturers are very carefully with this stuff. New driver can force a graphics card to run with more performance and more performance produces more heat. When the temperature is too high or laptop turns off automatically or it may happen that graphics card will be damaged.

  I checked the download page for some newer models with the same graphics card, but the latest display driver for all models is 8.712.2.1.

• Satellite L655-1E3 keeps restarting in an infinite loop

  Hello

  It seems that I have installed an update of the BIOS not adapted to my Satellite L655 1E3. Now my laptop is never reach the Windows startup and keeps restarting in all about 3 seconds after the Toshiba screen display.

  What I tried to do is reinstall my Windows with the Windows CD: does not not when starting on the CD/DVD

  I still have access to my data located in the hard drive when I took it out of the laptop and makes a transfer on the other hard drive.

  Can you please help me and suggest me some ideas to do?

  > It seems that I have installed an update of the BIOS not adapted to my Satellite L655 1E3.

  I m wondering how could I know if you would try to update the BIOS to the version that is not compatible, the BIOS update procedure would be interrupted and it is not possible to Flash the ROM module
  That is why I think this might be the case.

  However, you said that you see the Toshiba start screen.
  Question: are you able to access the BIOS of the F2 keys?

  In the case where this is possible, the value of the default BIOS and try to start the machine again.
  Where this is not possible, remove the AC adapter and the battery.
  Press and hold the power button / stop along 30 sec. Then reconnect both sides and try to turn on the unit.

  Your comments and good luck would be appreciated

• Webcam on Satellite L655 shows a very blurry picture

  Hi guys

  I bought Toshiba Satellite L655-158 last Sunday. Just checked the webcam. Used via Skype and everyone complains about the quality of the image. I tried to use an another older Dell laptop on the same internet connection (because I know that could have been because of the internet connection speed), but the picture quality on this one was very good.

  I'm tempted to return the laptop but I thought I'll check if there is a solution available on this forum.
  Thank you

  Did you remove the protective foil of the cam?

• How to change the brightness of the display on the Satellite L30-13?

  Hi, please someone can help me?

  I have a laptop Satellite L30-13, and when I use a stack the brightness for the display of auto, for not to diminish every time manually decrease is boring, that it is possible from a place to do this settings?

  And one more thing: this laptop he just shared graphic display with 128 MB shared memory and dedicated 128 MB or 128? !!!

  Thank you for you patience. (Sorry for my English).

  Hello

  Satellite L30 unknown to me, but as far as I know, on all models of Toshiba laptops you can change the brightness of the display by using the FN + F6 or F7 key combination.

  Satellite L30-13 does not exist, please check the description and please give us an exact description (PSLxxx). On this path, it will be easier to identify the model of laptop.

• Brightness of the display on Satellite Pro 4300 very dark

  Hello
  I have an old Satellite 4300 Pro that I've updated for my daughter last summer.
  I spent some time just right, put the upgrade of memory maximum and the installation of Windows 2000.

  She just gave it me as she has a new model... and I need the laptop.
  In any case, although it starts, the screen is very dark... totally unusable.
  Oddly, the display is dark during the part of the BIOS of the start-up routine as well.

  I tried many combinations of keys F nothing helps.
  Any suggestions?
  Phil

  Hello Phil

  Pleae note that use of the combination of keys for brightness settings work, just at the moment where OS is started and if some Toshiba designed tools are pre-installed. If this happens when starting laptop too and the BIOS settings are not visible properly I assume the inverter FL (backlight) is defective and must be replaced.

• Satellite L655 - update for the AMD display driver

  Why he did there not update for ATI driver Satellite L655?

  I want to use AMD app functionality which is supported by ati hd 5650, but programs that want to use this feature says I need to update the display driver. The AMD driver said he is not taken in charge and I need to download your manufacturing for laptop (Toshiba), witch is very old :(

  Why Toshiba does not support the update of manufacturing original, even the cheapest laptop chipsets supports the update?

  Hi paradis_pal_1,

  Latest AMD display driver for Windows 7 64 bit and Satellite L655 is from 14/01/11 so it s no old driver

  Otherwise I agree with Akuma and if you are looking for a newer version check other portable Toshiba with AMD graphic. For example, Satellite L750D has a new driver from the 05/09/11, which is version 8.812.2.2. This driver should also work on your model, because the old graphics cards are also supported.

  Check this box!

• Satellite L40 - 12 k WinXP - cannot change the brightness of the display

  Got Toshiba Satellite l40 - 12 k laptop.
  Running Windows XP Pro. The problem is that I can not change the brightness of the display even with hotkey utility for Win Vista installed. But if I'm in the bios of these keys work fine. Even when I started these keyboard shortcuts from gParted Live CD worked fine.

  But when I boot Win XP they stop working. So if I want to change the brightness I have to restart or hibernation, the time to change display BRIGHTNESS level because he remembers the last burst upward. So what is the problem? Don't tell about the hardware optimized for Vista, but not for other OS.

  When there will be avaible vor Win XP drivers? OK I understand it's MS that has the problem to a normal BONE, but well guys it is so big problem to run under XP?

  The funny thing is that everything else works fine and all the drivers I needed, I found in the homepage of Intel. So can hope on a support user, because now I know that it is not hardware problem because even a Live CD of gParted worked these keyboard shortcuts?

  PS Sorry for my bad English.

  > So what's the problem? Don't tell about the hardware optimized for Vista, but not for other OS.

  Unfortunately, you are right. The XP is not compatible with the BIOS on the L40.
  Several different sets of Toshiba supports two different BIOS for XP and Vista.

  The Fn keys does not work because the BIOS does not support the XP completely.

  I think that you will not be able to use the FN key pressed until the BIOS and drivers needed for XP will be released.

• Low brightness of the display on the Satellite A200-14F

  When I turn on my laptop the display brightness is very low (in the bios when windows starts and when running windows XP).
  When I restart notebook stand the luminosity of the display in normal mode, how can I solve this problem?

  Hello

  Maybe this problem s inverter a FL?  :|

  But before you contact the ASP in your country for the control of the screen and laptop, you must first access the BIOS and it should define the default settings. Then save the changes.

  Good luck

• Can satellite L655-14F - I change the display driver?

  all I want to know if I can 'Upgrade graphics card in my laptop.

  Satellite L655-14F...... Hotel details

  "Graphics card".

  type: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 related HyperMemory technology
  amount of memory: 1 024 MB dedicated VRAM (total available graphics memory using HyperMemory technology can be up to 2 267 MB with 3 GB and 32-bit operating system and 8 GB memory 4 083 MB with a 64 - bit OS system memory or system)
  "type of memory: DDR3 video RAM (resp. RAM video and system memory combined)"

  We are talking on cell phones and the No. Laptops have a very specific design and hardware upgrade is limited. Generally updated graphics card is not supported by Toshiba, so there is no sense of thinking about it.

  Cooling system's biggest problem with laptops. Each laptop has the system of cooling optimized for certain physical infrastructure. Build in the cooling system should cool the hardware components and protect them from overheating and damage.

  I will now use the same word as badhat: theoretically if you upgrade graphics card, you will have more powerful piece of hardware that produces more heat than the original. More heat means more likely to damage the material.

  You can upgrade level RAM or HARD drive, but everything else is meaningless. That s in my opinion.

  Why don't l t buy you more powerful laptop? Something like Satellite A660, P750 or Qosmio?

• Satellite L50 - B - 12 G - can't change the brightness of the display

  Hi people,

  For some reason that I can't find out, since yesterday I can not change the brightness on my deskop.
  It's a Satelite L50 - B - 12 G with Windows 8.1, 64 bit.

  (F2 and F3) function key does not move the scroll bar, and when I try the same thing on the control panel is like this:
  It is not simply to change the brightness

  At the same time, when I'm with an open office document or on a web page, don's work the cursor as usual... it is slower to move from one cell to another cell in Excel for example.
  The sane is to arrive with the page down key.

  Can anyone help on this? It becomes very annoying.

  Best regards
  Jose

  How did you try to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen?
  Did you press the FN key also?

  Well, as you said the F2 and F3 keys increases or decreases the brightness of the display
  The extra pressure of the FN button depends on the key mode feature which is located in:
  Office Assist-> tools & utilities-> Control Panel-> keyboard

  Permit special mode button allows you to use special features without pressing the FN key.

  That's why I recommend that you check this setting!
