• Can I order Win7 64 bit for Satellite L500-19Z recovery disk?

  I have a portable Satellite L500-19Z that was running a 64-bit version of Windows.
  Due to a problem, I had to reinstall Windows. The disc that came with the laptop was produced Recovery Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Not realizing the implications of the re-setup using this

  Now, I'm done with a 32-bit operating system, which means that I can use only 3 GB of my 4 GB of RAM. Can I get a recovery disk for the 64 bit version of Windows? I created, when I got to the laptop, a repair for my 64-bit system disc, but, of course, if I try to use it he said, rightly, that I do not have a compatible operating system version.

  I think that you can order.

• Cooling warning on Satellite L500-19Z

  Hello

  I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L500-19Z and I get the "warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Message please turn the computer off immediately and return it for service.

  The cooling system apparently works very well: PC Health Monitor says the fan works, and using Speedfan, I see that the temperature is kept below about 53 degrees celsisus. I think I can hear the fan and the openings on the side and the bottom of the laptop are quite clear.

  I live in a cold place and do not use the computer for any activity of intensive treatment, so it would not be a reason for the hot computer even when, as far as I know.

  Help, please.

  It looks like a bug or software.
  In any case, it s good new that the cooling module must not be maintained.

• Strange problem with touchpad on Satellite L500-19Z

  I have an older one month by Satellite L500-19Z running on Windows 7 64 bit.
  While using it to edit photos, he began to behave strangely. It was as if someone was quickly down the left button of the mouse. I have been unable to leave any program or use the Start Menu to restart.

  After turning off the power supply and the battery, I started it in Mode without failure, but the problem was still there. If I flew over any icon that he raised the window several times. By disabling the touchpad through Fn + F9, I was able to use a graphics tablet to re - start and it works normally. I hesitate to use the recovery of the system or the recovery disks that I created when I bought it because of the number of third party programs that I would lose.

  Everyone knows the problem please? What should I do to activate the touchpad see if it works fine now?
  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Can you turn the touchpad by pressing FN + F9 as usual?

  In your case I would also update the driver for the touchpad. You can download it here:

  If an external mouse works but the touchpad is still problems, I think that you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. After that, you have the same settings as on the first day where you bought the laptop.

• Satellite L500-19Z - recovery process is not complete properly?

  Trying to reinstall my system Windows 7 on a satellite L500-19Z. When I insert the recovery disk it ends and then restarts.

  When reboot it goes through the "system registry' and 'system settings' and then restarts. He said Athens 'set up for first use.
  Then it comes up with a white screen and the box saying "the finalization of installation - will take a few minutes" etc.

  However, after a while it just restarts and goes through the same sequence again - and again - and again etc.

  I can reboot into safe mode, but it will not make a system restore point.
  When I try to reboot normally it just goes back into the routine above.

  I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.

  > I tried a number of recovery disks, but they all do the same thing.
  This means that you have more for this model of laptop recovery disk?
  Did you use the right method?

  I'm not very well why the recovery procedure ends correctly, but it might be possible that your laptop s equipment is affected m.
  What was the purpose of a recovery? Something was wrong with the laptop?

• Re: Satellite L500-19Z - how to increase the performance of the game?

  Hey

  Basically, I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-19z, with chipsets Intel Series 4 express. I know this isn't a particularly good game, but surely the performance of game should be reasonable?

  I get 80% of the time lag - while on my old laptop (which costs no more than £200) I could play World of Warcraft on it no problem (I played the Sims3 on this laptop and had very few problems. I'm playing Dragon Age, but it is almost impossible.) My laptop is not more than 8 months old.

  I just want to know if there is a way to increase the performance of the game? I thought that maybe to connect my laptop to a PC Tower, but that could lead to the worst game performance, so I said.
  I'm sure I can't replace the graphics card, I've updated my drivers, defragment disks and so on.

  Any help is really appreciated, thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Is there anything to do to increase game performance. It depends on the graphics card and Intel cards are not designed for games, they are a good choice for mobile use because they don t need a lot of power.
  In addition, the peut t graphics card be exchanged, s thereby.

  It s always depending on the game that you can play. Therefore, check the system requirements of all the games you want to play and if your graphics card is supported. Not all games support all graphics cards.

  You must also use low graphics settings in each game. You can use the parameters of t.

  For example on my Satellite U400, possessing the same Intel graphics card, I can play Half Life 2 which has already 5 years but always low medium graphics settings.

• I would lose my data recovery Satellite L500 - 19Z 64 bit system?

  A few weeks ago, I posted a thread on the repair of recovery disks and disks. Basically I have a portable Satellite L500-19Z that was running a 64-bit version of Windows.

  Due to a problem, I had to reinstall Windows. The disc that came with the laptop was produced Recovery Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit. Not realizing the implications of the re-setup using this.
  Now, I'm done with a 32-bit operating system, which means that I can use only 3 GB of my 4 GB of RAM.

  I didn't know that I had actually created a recovery disc at the point where I bought the laptop.
  I could use it to allow me to return to a 64-bit system?

  I would lose my data (I can back up) and I would get a 64-bit system on a system that is currently a 32-bit system?

  Hello

  The use of the recovery disk would fix the laptop back to factory settings which mean that the HARD disk should be formatted at the beginning of the procedure.

  In this case all data would be erased from the HARD drive

• Re: My Satellite L500-19Z does support DDR3 memory?

  My Satellite L500-19Z does support DDR3 memory?

  In my view, it has 4 GB (2x2gb 200 pin 1.8 v DDR2 SoDimm PC2-6400) memory standard (800 MHz I think). I want to move to 8 GB and I saw the following offer: -.

  8 GB (2x4gb) 1333 Mhz PC3-10600 memory Kit.

  My laptop will support it?

  I hope someone can help.

  Concerning

  > My Satellite L500-19Z does support DDR3 memory?
  Say the user manual?
  Did you check that?

  The support of memory depends on the chipset.
  If the chipset does not support DDR3 so you cannot use it.
  The chipset is Mobile Intel GM45 Express Chipset and AFAIK that support DDR2 800 MHz 8 GB max memory chipset.

• Smart HARD drive detects imminent failure on Satellite P

  Hello

  I have a message "SMART provides a defect on the disc dur0: TOSHIBA MK5055GSX-(S1)" or (the same in English) "Smart Drive detects imminent failure".
  On the newsgroups different 'people' says to change the disk.

  My problem is not to change the drive, it's easy. Expensive, but easy.

  As I understand it, on each disk from Toshiba, a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator there?.
  I would like to change the disc and use the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? to restore Vista.

  How can I reinstall everything what to use Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator? This new disk to reinstall Vista from this new album.

  Thanks for any response.
  ADri

  > If I understand correctly, each disk Toshiba, there is a hidden partition, which allows to restore the machine, with Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator?

  That s not entirely correct!
  The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator creates the recovery disk! The recovery disk allows to recover the laptop using the drive and not the HARD drive recovery process!

  New portable Toshiba supports HARD drive recovery which allows to restore the laptop without the use of the recovery disc!

• Connect the Satellite L500-19Z in TV

  Hello

  I have a laptop L500-19Z and want to plug into the TV for watching movies. Noticed that it has a HDMI port.

  An HDMI cable would be enough to plug into TV? There's also another similar to a DV port port? can you use this too? If so would what cable I need for these.

  Thank you

  If your laptop and TV have HDMI ports, then buy the high quality HDMI cable and use it to cvonnect your laptop to the TV.

• Satellite L500-19Z still does not go to sleep

  I have a laptop L500-19Z and it is set to "go to sleep" when I close the lid.
  This works generally well, but sometimes when I close the lid it "crashes" and keys do not respond when I open the lid.

  The only way to get it is to force an end to the bottom and then restart. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
  I am reluctant to restore my system if I can help it.

  When to contact Toshiba all they can suggest is using the recovery disk and, if that fails, he sent back to be rebuilt.

  > The only way to get it is to force an end to the bottom and then restart. Does anyone know what could be causing this?

  I think it is software issue s I mean that it is possible that some background processes are run and affect the sleep mode.

  The Toshiba guy is just. You should always set the laptop back to factory settings (restore the OS using the recovery or HARD drive recovery disc) in order to ensure that there is nothing wrong with the hardware.

  This should be done as a first step
  Then do it and check how would the laptop!

• Satellite L500-19Z - system restore fails

  I have a laptop running Windows 7 64 bit L500-19Z. A number of occasions, I tried to run the system restore but have so far failed. Any restore point that I select the system restore seems to work (initialization etc.), but when it restarts I get the message telling me that it failed with the proposal that he could have failed because of an antivirus running.

  I use Zone Alarm, but have turned it off when you try to restore but it makes no difference. Yesterday, I made a mistake one inadvertently lost my wireless network adapter. There is a restore point that I could use to recover, but as I said above it still fails. At least I can get the system restore works, it seems I have to re - install Windows which I am reluctant to do.

  Can someone help, please?

  Hi anicholles,

  In your case I would uninstall Zone Alarm. I didn t make good experience with this program and my firewall view integrated Windows is much better and doesn't make any problem for there part of the operating system.

  Also uninstall or disable the AntiVirus software before you start the system restore.

  To be honest I don t think you have a lot of options if it doesn t work. You can ask in the Forum Microsoft if it s a problem well-known but faster way may be reinstall Windows Toshiba Recovery disk I think ;)

• HDMI does not not on Satellite L500-19Z

  I have a L500-19Z running Windows 7. Until yesterday, the HDMI output jack worked very well.
  However, now when I plug a cable in maintaining the screen goes blank and then back to normal.
  This continues for a few minutes and then when I try to output for example a TV it shows as not connected.

  Anyone have any ideas on what could be the cause?
  Device Manager indicates that the device is functioning OK and I checked that the driver is up-to-date.

  I am confused now!

  Hello

  Have you tried the Fn + F5 option?
  This switch, the video output for external monitor or TV.
  You have to press several times to select the TV.

  The value also default BIOS and test again

• May be defective lid switch on Satellite L500-19Z

  The monitor on my L500-19Z is off to angles more in lower - right now, it stops to open near 90 °.
  Am I right in thinking this is probably the lid switch and if so is it what can I do about it?

  I think that cover switch doesn t react when the display is open 90 °. This switch reacts when the cover is almost closed.

  There must be another problem, probably display connectivity to the motherboard (wired to the display).

  The warranty is still valid? Maybe you should contact Toshiba service and leave check your laptop.

• Satellite L500 - compatible hard drives?

  Hi everyone, please help me with this:

  That internal HDs are compatible with the Satellite L500? I discovered the original in this laptop is a WD 3200 BEVT (form factor GB/2.5 ", 5400 RPM, SATA II 3Gbps, 22 pins) but it apparently can no longer come from Australia, so please indicate any other compatible.

  See you soon!

  UPDATE: thanks, I already had a HD for this pc.
