Two questions on my satellite A350-20s

I bought the Satellite in June 09, and my problem after a year and a half to have the laptop.

I sent Toshiba Support on my problem. Basically, all started in January of this year and the laptop screen simply erased. The laptop was still active, but it just looked dead. So I restarted and each time two things would happen:

1 the time of when the laptop went dead is random, sometimes it will not load even at the Windows startup screen, other times it will last about 10 minutes, sometimes 30 minutes. (It was a struggle even to copy all my files on as it kept crashing!)

2 the screen sometimes turns off, you will get a random through a color screen or black line or it will be like a really random colors on the screen set.

Toshiba wants me to pay £80 books odd just to watch what comes, I do agree with.

Has anyone else had problems or can offer my advice at all?

Hi Hiddenlooks
Your sounds of issues such as the graphics card / motherboard issue and unfortunately: in this case, you need to replace parts, but as mentioned by Akuma, it might be possible that it is cheaper to buy the new notebook that replaces parts

  • Adding a second HDD internal on a Satellite A350-20s

    I have a Satellite A350-20s.
    It is described in literature as having the possibility of adding an internal hard drive 2 "5 second and indeed it is a spot reserved for him...

    The problem is that when I remove the cover to insert the hard drive there is no connector.

    So, how to do?

    Hello

    Some of the units can be updated with a second HDD Satellite A350 and other laptop models. But this means that NOT all laptops offer the opportunity to upgrade
    There are different A350 with different hardware specifications
    All mobile phones support the same substantive coverage but not all motherboard supports a second HARD disk controller and the connectors.

    Your A350 cannot be upgraded with a second HDD due to the different motherboard and the missing HARD drive controller.

    Hi all...

    I have ordered an A350-20s, (4gig RAM, T6400) and want to remove Vista to replace with Windows 7 but have some questions.

    1, should I go for 32-bit or 64-bit?
    2 if I go for 64-bit, that I need to update the BIOS?
    3, I had a quick glance at the download page, I was wondering if the drivers and BIOS for Vista will be allowed to use for Windows 7?

    Please contact your opinions.

    Thanks in advance.

    # I put t know for who would you use your laptop, but in my opinion, you must use 32-bit. Most offered are requested for 32 bit OS

    # many people here talked about well work under Win7 Vista drivers, but your laptop is / will be Win7 benefit so that it will be better to wait get und Win7 drivers

    Before you do anything, please start original preinstalled Vista create recovery DVDs using Toshiba Recovery creator pre-installed utility.

  • Re: Question on the Satellite A350-22Z GPS

    Hello

    My laptop is Toshiba Satellite A350-22Z. My GSP does not work. GPS Utility from Toshiba said GPS not supported, but I'm sure that I used my GPS on this computer. After that I reinstalled Windows 7 Ultimate x 64, I couldn't not do GPS works.

    I installed the drivers 3G and Toshiba Wireless Manager.
    But still I could not find the necessary driver/software.

    This who should I guess what to do?

    Thanks in advance...

    According to the specifications of the laptop this model has 3G and comes with Windows Vista 32 bit.
    I believe you that you have used the 3G with original OS because it contains Ericsson 3 G driver and Toshiba 3 G RF Control Utility.

    You will find download page to download both of them for Win7 on Toshiba?

  • Re: Satellite A350-20s - sound crackling with a loud high-pitched

    Hello

    I have a problem with the speakers on the Toshiba Satllite A350-20s. When I turn the sound on all I get is a crackling sound with a very high-pitched. Seems to get by if I plug in external speakers but one have a similar problem if I plug in a microphone. Thin K that could be linked to the microphone on the chicony webcam works do not.

    I've upgraded to windows 7, shortly after obtaining the laptop and so far have tried to download the new drivers for the web cam, but this does not seem to have helped.

    Any ideas or advice more than welcome!

    Have you noticed the same thing with the factory settings (installation of recovery the original image)?

  • Re: A few questions with the Satellite A350-12J

    My father-in-law's cell phone is the Satellite 350 and I think there 12j after his name.

    We re-installed Vista 32 bit the other day and he said that some things do not work as they should.

    First of all, if he presses the FN key, and say the s, the brightness, it works but he used to have a small dock type thing will appear at the top of the screen with icons of FN button. The other don t FN keys work well as the permutation of switch monitor.

    Second keys soft touch media don t work as turning off the lights behind them or bring up media player.

    We have evidence and tried to install the value pack but he said during the installation that he was withdrawing the package so it must have already been installed. After having re-installed, there is no difference. I can't find any program or whatever it is in the Panel for her.
    Also, I tried the same thing to the hardware configuration. Once again, it seems telling herself it was there and uninstall. Yet once I re-installed but t still can't find anything for him anywhere for me to change any settings or anything like that.

    I don't have the laptop with me good that now it is at home, but I think I got it.

    All ideas welcome.

    Each Toshiba laptop comes with the pre-installed operating system and the old A350 will be delivered with Vista, so I would like to know if it is possible for you to use this original picture of the recovery.
    Have your father in law created recovery DVD such as recommended by Toshiba?

    I guess you are trying to install the version of Vista clean, right?

    # Probably you are missing something. I put t know if you have installed all necessary drivers but try to disable illumibation in the BIOS settings. Also make sure that Toshiba value added package is installed on your machine.

    Hello
    So you are 100% sure it s not cut?

    Please try the Fn + ESC key combination
    This enables and disabled the mute.
    Also I recommend you to uninstall the audio driver.
    It could be useful that the question would be related to a malfunction of its driver.

  • Satellite A350-20s - built-in microphone has stopped working

    Hello

    I was wondering if someone could help me? My mic has suddenly stopped working. I was away for two weeks and when I tried to use the microphone it no longer works. It was working perfectly before.

    When I go into Control Panel and watch settings for the microphone, he said his assets. I also installed the volume on the microphone and checked if everything is muted. But as far as I could see everything fine.

    If I test the microphone the sound bar still gray and the microphone is not any sound recording. I tried a few of the instructions I found online, but nothing helped.
    I mainly use the microphone on web with Skype calls.

    It is a very frustrating problem. I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    The built-in microphone is the webcam and is a part of it. Which means it would be recommended to reinstall the driver for the webcam. You can download the driver for the webcam on Toshiba website for your laptop.

    Can send you additional information about your operating system? You use the preinstalled operating system from Toshiba or did you do your own installation of Windows?

  • Satellite A350-20s - cannot get FN keys work

    Hello

    Recently, I formatted the hard drive and installed Vista Home premium new because it was slow. Before formatting, I had turned off the touchpad to use because I found it very uncomfortable to use. So, instead, I used an optical mouse. Once I installed Vista the touchpad did not work and the fn did not meet the F1, F2 - F9... The strange thing is when I press the Fn key, the light comes on and shows his work and when I press Fn + F10, the NumLock Gets and when I press Fn + F11 it goes to normal qwerty keyboard.

    I have downloaded all the drivers for the laptop, including the official Web page of TOSHIBA touchpad driver and tried all the tricks known in the book, but always truggling to get this function of the keyboard work? Your help is very appreciated.

    My laptop is still under warranty, but I'm afraid to send it because they would go like you hav formatted the hard disk drive even I hav installed on the same OS that I already had.

    This is the main reason for this post. Listen to me please

    Hey Buddy,

    I doubt that you have downloaded from the Toshiba site, otherwise your FN keys work correctly! ;)

    In any case, for the FN keys, you need to install Toshiba Value added Package. With this package it is also possible to enable/disable the touchpad. It brings all the FN keys to work.

  • Satellite A350-20s cannot burn any cd or dvd

    Hello

    Are you trying to copy disk protected from copyright?
    Maybe this is not possible due to some restrictions
    If not, you should check to see if an update of the firmware of the player is
    If it is available, then you should find it on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Last but not least if may be a hardware problem, but the ASP must be contacted as a last resort. I mean in the majority of cases, the CDs and DVDs used is responsible for these issues
    I had this problem too and able to solve using another brand I m now with TDK-R discs

  • Wireless not working do not with my new Satellite A350-20 s

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite A350-20s last weekend. Everything else seems good but I am struggling to connect wirelessly. It has Vista Home Premium.

    I have a Thompson TG585 v7 wireless router. My Lenovo T61 (WinXP SP2) can connect wirelessly with no problems however.

    When I am connected to the router via ethernet cable my Toshiba will connect to the internet fine. And when I'm sitting right next to my wireless router my Toshiba can connect wireless fine. But by the time I stray a little (even just 5 meteres!), it loses the connection.

    I didn't put a single software on my laptop, but since I bought it.

    It's very frustrating and any help would be really appreciated.

    Thank you
    Frédérique

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the driver WLAN and the BIOS? The two might increase the WLAN functionality, and in this case it should be updated. Simply visit the Web from Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    I guess you're Windows Vista so you should Devil WLAN energy saving function. This can affect the WLAN functionality and so it should be disabled. You can find it on the Vista power management.

    I hope this can solve your problem! :)

  • Re: Two questions on the recovery of my Satellite C850 / 09L

    Hello

    I had an unfortunate accident with a drink and my C850 / 09L while in the hospital, and while he was cleaning that I used my external hard drive on an old computer.

    Long story short, while making the usable drive I have in some way managed to make the unreadable UEFI and need a recovery disk to fix it (which I did not cause of course I was in the hospital when the laptop was given to me).

    I have two questions:

    (1) the recovery disk creator organize files in a specific way, or can I copy the whole partition on a USB flash drive and make it work?

    and

    (2) if I am able to use the recovery partition copied or obliged to buy a Toshiba drive, the recovery disk difficulty will be just the OS or it will wipe my files as well?

    1 / recovery disc Creator create a special bootable media that can be used for the installation of laptop recovery image. If you want to install the recovery image, you MUST create this bootable media.

    2 / Yes Yes please before you use it to backup all your important data.

    If you have any other questions you are welcome.
