The GMA 4500 can be activated on Satellite U500 - 115 (PSU5EE)?

Hello

I own the U500-115 PSU5EE for about a week now. Today, I looked again on the Toshiba site and I noticed that the U500-115 uses the Intel GM45 Express chipset, see here: http://de.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-U500-115/1070387/toshibaShop/false/

http://www.Intel.com/CD/products/services/EMEA/DEU/chipsets/398739.htm
Intel says that this chipset has a device integrated video GMA 4500MHD.

I have not seen the GMA 4500 in the Device Manager and I have not found a possibility to active it. Everest Ultimate says there is an Intel GMA 4500MHD built in and it is disabled.

So, can be activated and used instead the 4570 to save energy while being on the battery?

If it s not active, then from a good reason. The manufacturer doesn't have to trigger specific in a chipset functions, even if the manufacturer of the chipset says it is applied.

BUT: If there is a powersaving option that switches between graphics cards, then you won´t have influence on that because this will be controlled automatically by the system and the drivers.

Hope I could help... :)

Welcome them

  • Satellite U500 - 115 PSU5EE fan error when executing an operating system based on linux

    Hello

    last week, I have a PSU5EE U500-115 with actuall bios 1.40, running Windows 7 without a problem.

    But when running a linux based OS (like the Acronis image Boot-CD) the fan does not work and turns on only if the processor is really very hot and it is running only a few seconds on the highest State.

    This behavior can be fixed?

    Thank you

    I'm not sure that your model of laptop is Linux supported so I do not think that you will find an official solution for this.
    What you can try is to visit some Linux forum and see if anyone else has noticed the same error.

    Another thing is that U500 is not long on the market and I don't think at the moment you will find many people who have the same laptop and use Linux OS.

  • 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.

  • 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!

    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...

  • After replacing the CPU, I can't start my Satellite S1400-553 s

    Hello

    I opened my Toshiba laptop to replace the CPU a newer version, among other items recovered another satellite, when I replaced the and closed it up that I do not have to be initialized now.

    When I press on the power button the floppy drive makes a noise for a second slot and turns off again and the yellow power LED cable lights.

    I put back the original parts in the machine, but I still have the problem.

    Any idea of what s upward?

    Hello Rob

    I agree with Johnny. You have probably damaged the mainboard. Replacement of the CPU part of the very sensitive laptop and most people make mistake and CPU burn out. You are a technician or is the replacement of material your hobby?

  • Satellite U500-115 - black frame on his Full - HD BX2450 LED screen

    Hello!

    A few days ago, I bought a LED of Samsung BX2450 Full-HD screen.
    I connected via HDMI for best quality.

    Unfortunately the screen is not completely filled. I have a black box on the screen.

    I read on some forums where they told me to turn on "Overscan" in the ATI Catalyst Control Center.
    Unfortunately there is no such a function. :(

    Then I downloaded the new version of Catalyst of ATI. The same problem.
    Tried to return to graph-Drivers of Toshiba for U500. Once again, without success.
    I'm unable to remove this black frame and use the entire screen.

    I use the good resolution of 1920 x 1080.
    Built in graphics card is ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 Series if I understand! ;-)
    Windows 7-64 bit.

    Support of ATI says that Toshiba laptops are not supported by their software. 'Please contact the laptop OEM for support of the drivers for these books' (http://support.amd.com/de/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst112ReleaseNotes.aspx)

    Can you please advise me what to do?
    Y at - it an update of driver proposed by Toshiba or any other solution?

    Tanks,
    Mario

    Hey,.

    Do you use the FN + F5 key combination to switch to your external monitor?
    Also interesting would be if you extend the desktop on the external monitor or if you use the external monitor only.

    It is also important to use the native resolution of your external monitor and correct the refresh rate.
    Normally in the options of the display driver you can also adjust the image if she s not full screen.

  • How to connect the camcorder to Satellite U500-1EZ

    What is the best way to capture HD to Satellite U500-1EZ camcorder videos?
    Is the HDMI port for output only?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    The laptop supports the VGA and HDMI output port.
    These ports name says it all; It s output port. It sends signals and cannot receive signals.

    AFAIK there is no plug-in software component video interface.

    If you want to move only the videos from the camcorder to laptop, I recommend the USB ports. I guess that the camcorder supports firewire port in such case you could use an adapter of the firewire over USB that allows to move the files to the HARD drive.

  • 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 U500 - USB2.0 UVC webcam no longer works

    Hello

    I just upgraded my Skype to the latest version and now my integrated webcam usb2.0 UVC does more work. In fact, she seems to light (blue light that appears next to it on my screen) but the image is black with a grey circle search turning in the middle.
    My PC is a Satellite U500-1DZ.
    To be honest, not been use my webcam for 3 months before that, but the last time worked perfectly with the old version of Skype

    At the same time, my Council of Toshiba Tempro update me my driver my BIOS and display
    I tried to do this several times but it doesn't work.
    For the BIOS, I'm just able to download 44% of it, and then it just stops. Same with the display driver.

    These 2 problems could be related?
    What can I do?

    Thanks in advance for your help and response

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here, but what you can try is to reinstall the software of the webcam of the Toshiba download page and check again.

    If there is no problem with your laptop, in my view, there is no reason for updates, including BIOS update.

    Anyway, the latest versions, you can find on Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
