• How can I turn off the laptop after restoring it to factory settings?

  Hello everyone

  I'm selling my Portege R830-10 q If I want to restore it to the settings to factory (out-of-box state) AND THEN TURN IT OFF.

  I brought the laptop to factory settings successfully using the _TOSHIBA recovery Wizard_ and choosing * factory default software recovery (Recover State out-of-box) *. However, at the end of the process of recovery and after everything is back in place I was not able to TURN off the POWER to the laptop. It only gave me the option to restart. After rephrasing it, the Windows installation process starts.

  I don't want to install Windows, i.e. language, keyboard, user account, etc. I want to leave the Windows installation for the person buying the laptop to me. How can I turn off the laptop after the recovery of the system without having to install Windows?

  I would appreciate your help.

  Concerning

  Pedro

  When the recovery process is complete and you are prompted for a reboot just press start button / stop and turn it off. I think it's only thing you can do.

  Anyway, why not start Windows and go through the configuration option. New owner can modify this basic anyway parameters. As username Admin and language and the keyboard can be set as default.

  For example, if you have a picture of German recovery set to German. New owner can change in any case.

• Re: Satellite Pro L670 - can I turn off the sound when the battery is empty?

  Hello

  Is it possible to disable the bios beep when the battery is empty or the laptop's Hibernate?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L670.

  Even when the sound in Windows is turned off the laptop do a annoying sound.

  Thank you!

  Maybe it sounds silly, but I put t understand why that should be disabled. When the battery reaches the critical battery level you will be informed about this and portable must be connected to the power running or you have to save your work and turn it off.

  Do you really want to work until the battery is completely discharged?

  Anyway, AFAIK this notification level BIOS cannot be disabled.
  Let's see if someone else is better informed than me.

• Turn off the tap to click on Dell Inspiron 1525 with Windows Vista

  Can someone tell me how to disable "tap to click" on the touchpad of my laptop?

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, running Windows Vista.  It's the standard touchpad I mind, it has not been upgraded.

  Other forums have suggested to go to the control panel > hardware and sound > mouse, but once I'm there, I only "buttons," "Pointers," "Pointer Options" and "hardware".  There is no option to disable "Tap to click" referred to one of them.

  I've updated all the drivers - Windows tells me I have the latest version, if this doesn't fix the problem.

  My hands are too big to type without hitting the touchpad!  So frustrating.  I accidentally moved my slider three times during the composition of this post.  Someone help me please!  That's four times now.

  I thought about it!

  Under computer > C: > drivers > entry > R176423, I ran DPInst.  He installed the Dell Touchpad option in my taskbar to bottom left.  After the reboot, I was able to open a more in-depth version of my touchpad, where I could uncheck "Tap to click".  _ Yes!

  Thanks for all your help, man.  I really appreciate it.  It's really a positive manifestation of the human condition when the volunteers their expertise selflessly to help others.  Keep up the good work, and I hope that this thread will stay up to help someone else in the future.

• My cat has turned off the touchpad on my laptop. How do I turn it back on?

  He jumped on the keyboard and turns off the touchpad.  He has done it before and I was somehow able to put on the.  I forgot how.  I now use mouse and don't like it.

  Fantastic!  I finally looked more carefully the signs/pictures on the keys of the laptop, and of course he was there.  I was beginning to think that this kitten was smarter than I am.  (it is probably still) He knew how to turn off twice and I couldn't turn it back this time.  Now I see how easily it turns off when he walks on the keyboard.  Thank you very much.  Maureen
