Windows 8.1 update questions about the Satellite P870 - PSPLFA

Hello

For the better or worse over the weekend, I downloaded windows 8.1 on a toshiba laptop (model PSPLFA p870) that was running windows 8. Graphics card is NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630 M 2 GB with Optimus + Intel® HD Graphics 4000

http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p870/psplfa-019001/specifications

couple of questions:

(a) I'm having some trouble to make windows 8.1 works fine on this laptop and cannot get/find new drivers on the toshiba site to properly adjust the video card.

Any ideas how or where I can download video drivers that are suitable for this laptop?
Too eager not to uninstall and go back to windows 8, now that I went that day...

I have a call yesterday with microsoft yesterday which seems to go nowhere to fix one or two other things after this upgrade.

(b) on the windows 8.1 machine my internet connection when running IE11
seems now a little flaky and suspect that it is a matter of 11/windows 8.1 internet explore (other laptops on my wireless network running windows 7 and XP work fine and do not abandon their studies and can access all the info I can't get on the machine win 8.1) which seems to be a bit a common issues by looking at some other forums and

(c) I can't download or open files from google docs (screen freezes right most of the way through the download) on the 8.1 update windows machine.

Any help appreciated,
Ken

    Hello

    Here, a few questions about the number:

    (1) usually, you should get the Vista Toshiba Recovery DVD. If you didn t receive this DVD then you can order it here https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or you could install the disc of Microsoft Vista.

    (2) of course, you can do this. I think that Win XP drivers can be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page.

    (3) Yes, you can upgrade the RAM. For more information, see your manual or search on this forum for similar topics

    (4) maybe it s associated with the graphics driver. Check if you can update. I would recommend additional check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS

    Hello

    I am about to order a Satellite P300 - 18 M and have just a few questions about this:

    (Although these may apply for other similar Satellite/Equium P300.)

    Is the touchpad made by / to use the Alps or Synaptics driver?

    It has the Wireless N network card, is the map made by Intel or Realtec?

    And also, someone has experience with face recognition software to connect?

    If so, does it take a lot of time to initalise?

    Thanks in advance,
    Jack

    Hello

    The P300 - 18M belongs to the PSPCCE series.
    It uses the two touchpad drivers. Synaptics & Alps Electric
    There is an Intel 802.11agn minicards WLan installed

    The face recognition is a nice tool but local to be illuminated and you must take your face the right of the post sometimes it of not very easy

    But if you face is recognized correctly that the connection should work properly

  • A few questions about the Satellite A200 - 204 (PSAE6E)

    I recently bought a Toshiba model Satellite A200 - 204 (PSAE6E) bought the 05/12/2008, the garage.
    NATIONAL ALVAREZ (Al Khoudh, Oman),

    Sealed opening box, I realized that product had two questions, I immediately reported it to the dealer.
    (1) red spot on the LCD (Pixel damage)
    (2) LCD junk shows up after every 10-15 minutes of use.

    For the Point 1.*
    The Service Center authorized returned the noteback quote myself
    "The question of a white spot on the LCD is not the responsibility of the Department."

    For the point 2.
    The dealer has made installation of o/s for 2-3 hours of surveillance.
    Now ask to take me to authorized service center and keep for 2-3 days of surveillance.
    only then can the material be confirmed (as appropriate).

    However, I would like an honest of any opinion if this can be termed as "DEAD ON ARRIVAL" & can I request a replacement in these circumstances!
    Kind regards

    Hey Buddy

    As far as I know dead on arrival questions are always issues between business partners.
    So if something is wrong with your laptop, you could request a laptop replacement. You should ask your dealer to laptop.

    Now, I want to say something about your question;

    I found helpful article from Toshiba on the dead pixel problems:
    [What is the maximum number allowed and the type of fault of pixel your monitor LCD Toshiba can expose by 1 million pixels? | http://support.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB5400ZD0002R01.htm]

    Usually it is not big thing to do because there is a kind of tolerance of dead pixels.
    Only if the number of dead pixel is larger, then the number described in the document above the ASP will replace the screen.
    The best advice is to go back to the dealer and replace the notebook.

    On this second volume of Toshiba, you can find more information about the tolerance of dead pixel:
    [I have one or more bad pixels on my screen, I can fix? | http://support.Toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ350079001NR01.htm]

  • Questions about the Satellite A500 - 14 k

    Hello

    I'll buy a Toshiba Satellite A500 - 14 k, and I would like to know:
    -It has a keyboard backlight?
    -It has a "slot loading DVD player?
    -is its remote control really on format express card?

    I am French, and the French A500 series is perhaps different.

    I speak excellent English, excuse me ;)

    Good day.

    Is this laptop already on the market in France?
    I mean that if nobody here can give you a specific answer, please contact your local dealer or online store to pick up some information directly.

    Google all over the place. I'm sure you can find some dealer who can help you.
    You are right about the different models and I think also all A500 will not be the same in all European countries. Please also note that it's first A500 series on the market and I think also for the French market, it can be changed in the future. It is possible that in a few months, you will be able to find more different models in France.

    In my country, Satellite A500 is not yet on the market. :(

  • Question about the Satellite A100 - 211 (PSAA9) updated drivers

    Hello.

    I have my laptop since June last and noticed that in the page drivers from the toshiba site there are new drivers with a December date of release, but with the same (or in some cases even lower) version number as my own!

    Can someone explain this to me? Are these really updated drivers? Because, judging by the version number, looks older! : O

    I should upload them anyway just because they were six months after I bought my laptop?

    Can someone please help clarify this?

    Thank you very much in advance!

    Hi Octavio

    You have problems with your operating system installed?
    Isn't it?

    If not, I don't update anything
    3 years my laptop works very well and I didn't update anything
    Of course, I noticed the new updates, but why should I update anything if my laptop work?
    Take my recommendation and don t touch the system running ;)

  • Richard & update questions about the Pavilion M8407

    I just put in an order for a Pavilion M8407C PC.  I ordered the PC because it is a quad-core, running a 64 bit OS and the price was so right.  I am interested in building a box fairly high-end at about 6 to 9 months, but need something now because my box 5 years just has no power for my applications anymore.

    I'll use it for modeling 3D and 3D engineering applications in the short term, and it will become a long term rendering area.

    Issues related to the:

    (1) the PC has 4 GB or RAM of 1 Gb Simms.  I'll upgrade to 8 GB, he would like to know if it is able to use 16Gb.  The OS is Vista Home Premium - is limited to 8 GB or 16 GB?  Is the limit of the 'House' or 'premium '?

    (2) the PC contains 2 360 GB drives.  Are they "RAID" ed or only 2 separate units (master & slave)?  All programs would be installed on a disk or both?  The second disk can be replaced with a larger without any OS or system of the impact?

    (3) how can be upgraded on the PC?  The operating system at any time will stop working because too many things have changed from the original HP Setup?

    Thanks for the review - I'm pretty comfortable with a screwdriver and have been building my own boxes, I'm not too familiar with the way in which 'Tier 1' PCs are set up.

    See you soon...

    Message edited by Matthew on 03/12/2008 19:49

    For someone who cares, I have rebuilt the box and here are the answers to my previous questions...

    (1) limit of motherboard memory is 8 GB.

    (2) the 2 360 GB disks are not attacked.  disk 1 is the 'OS' and 'HP install' backup and the second disc is empty.  This is ideal, because all OS and programs can be installed on the operating system drive, and the second player can be offered for data.  Easy for backups.

    (3) I have considerably improved the system.  You cannot change the motherboard, that would invalidate the Windows operating system installation.  MS wrote on OEM computers, changing motherboards is paramount to junking the old computer and requires a new purchase of OS.  I think they make exceptions for warranty cards mothers replacement - better double-check.

    I've updated...

    (A) memory.  Replaced the 4 GB (1 GB simms) with 8 GB (2 GB simms).  Simms spare parts become old.

    (B) added a 1 TB drive.  The chassis has room for 2 hard drives.  I added the third disc to his empty home of 5.25 "under the DVD drive.  I had to use a kit of adaptation and screws washers to fix the kit on the sides split to create a good grip.

    (C) replace the video card.  The NVidia 8500GT has of one taken DVI and HDMI output.  I couldn't get a good Monitor 2 out of it, because my monitors have entered VGA only.  In addition, I wanted a 1 GB of memory on the card as the programs I run use large textures so need more video of 512 MB of ram.  Replaced the with a NVidia GTS250 1 GB 8500GT.

    (D) the updates above, especialy video card, required a higher power supply.  I replaced the original 300W with a 650W unit.

    (E) the M8407C system comes with a slot to accept a "HP Personal Media Drive" unit.  Recently, I received an email from Best Buy, which featured a HP Personal Media Drive unites 750 GB on sale for CAD$ 110.  Sold. Removable data backup unit.

    To summarize, for a total investment of just under $ 1100, I created a Quad Core, 8 GB ram, disk hard system of 2.4 to pushing the 2 monitors.  The goal was to build a system capable of modeling 3D and animation for cheaper than buying the parts off the shelf.  I saved CAD $700 and have spare parts to help build a render region.

  • Re: Several questions about the Satellite A305-S6825

    I bought the Toshiba A305 S6825 with Vista Home Premium in recent weeks and have a few questions, I hope someone can answer.

    #1-I am only using the Toshiba and wonder why I keep getting this permission UAC to pop up. Is this something that everyone? Can I turn off no problem cause (security)? (I asked this question before, but still puzzled as to the is should or should not allow the UAC.)

    #2-I don't want the Defender made auto update. How can I do a manual update for Defender?

    #3-Pourquoi is so low when its DVD playback? I have the sound at 100%! Or is it something that everybody knows?

    #4-I watched updates for Windows and two in the update/download option appeared. What I have to download them? They (and other optional updates/downloads) will keep appearing?

    #5-I recorded last week and wonder if there is anywhere online, I can tell if I'm registered? Also, how can I find my customer account number? I (believe if you have a Technical Support question, you must enter your account/customer number).

    Thank you.

    (1) there is a new feature in Vista. For more information, please see the Microsoft Vista website

    (2) do you mean the Microsoft Windows Defender?
    If so, check this:
    http://www.Microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/support/howto/default.mspx

    (3) check if all volume controllers would be max. You can find this in Control Panel-> sound control

    (4) Windows updates are always recommended because they fix the bug and the security of the OS lacks

    (5) where do you register this laptop? As far as I know it is a portable American and cannot be registered on the Toshiba European pages.

  • Question about the Satellite Pro M40X upgrades

    I bought it about 10 months ago, it works well, but now I have two questions:

    (1) the original 256 M RAM, I will still add a 512 m?

    (2) the original operating system is in Czech language, can I get an English recovery DVDs?, because I'll go to another country next month.

    Thank you

    Hello David

    1. your device can handle with max 1.5 GB of RAM. You can add tracking modules:
    PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
    PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)
    1024MO PC2700 (PA3313U-1M1G)
    These modules are compatible and will have no problem.
    2. as far as I know you can't get recovery on another CD, but it is not important at all. To install the OS on another language, you can
    Use the Microsoft facilities (full version) CD. Download page for all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba.

  • Question about the Satellite C50D of charge

    Hello

    I have a problem with the battery on my Toshiba laptop. I connect and it says "charge (100%). ", but as soon as I disconnect the battery supply cable down exactly 50%. I don't know how much time he did this, but it's very frustrating not being able to have all the power (on the long trips etc.). I tried the high performance and energy saving mode.

    I tried to remove the battery and turn on/off the laptop and recharge overnight once it says 100%. I've looked everywhere and nobody seems to have this problem and its ruining the heck out of me.

    Bought: December 2013
    Running: Windows 8.1

    Thanks in advance.

    Try to use the laptop until the battery is completely empty and load it again at 100%.
    Check please if this will change anything. If this isn't the case, I recommend you contact the nearest Toshiba or your local dealer services provider.

    I ve heard about problem when battery shows 100% of load as long as the adapter is connected, but he can´t to keep the load once the adapter is unplugged. In this case the battery must be replaced.

    Contact service, explain the situation and follow the instructions given by the authorized service provider.

  • A few questions about the Satellite Satellite C55 - B

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55 - B, the card network LAN adapter, appear and disappear and the USB port on this side too, the airphone near these ports port also have problem too.
    When I use airphone and close and open the screen I can hear a sound and the volume is up and down.

    A few days ago, I opened the laptop and check all components inside, and then when I close and restart the network LAN adapter and the USB port is displayed, and now that they disappear.

    Please if someone could help me

    > Yesterday I open the laptop and check all components inside
    You disassemble the laptop?
    O man this affects and the guarantee of s notebook :(

    However, I would also recommend to load the image of Toshiba and to perform the recovery.
    I hope that this would solve the annoying problems.

    I can't imagine that this could be a hardware problem, but as you probably know: everything is possible.

    However, I keep fingers crossed that your questions would not appear after you set the notebook to factory condition.

  • Question about the Satellite L300 to TV connection

    Hi everyone, first of all this is my first post.

    Also I'm a bit geek o when it comes to computers etc., I can use one but im not a wizz tech kid as well as use of base of an im afraid.

    I have a Satellite L300 laptop.

    My question is, my laptop has no HDMI port, but it has a VGA port.
    I have a digital TV with many ports Inc. USB, VGA, HDMI etc.

    I am downloading movies and burn them on dvd, but it's very tedious, so I wonder if I connect the laptop to the tv to use the TV as a monitor screen? so, I can either watch the dvd on the tv, and gold to direct flows to the laptop and then on television.

    I connected a vga cable for the necessary ports between the TV and the pc, and although television confirms that a pc is connected, there is only a white screen? so I guess I can't connect in this way.

    It is not possible to connect using the usb ports? or of other ideas like if I may or may not connect to this laptop?

    Kind regards

    Bob

    Hi Bob

    What laptop has no HDMI port this is a bit complicated. In General, you should be able to use your TV as external monitor. When you connect your laptop with VGA cable to your TV and turn on this port to the TV use the FN + F5 key combination and desktop to TV switch.

    If your TV is correctly detected when you use FN + F5, you should see several options. Problem is that the VGA connection is for video only and you will not hear on your TV. You can transfer the sound, but you must separate the wires and connect the headphone jack of your laptop and openings of his TV or even receiver Hi-Fi if you a.

    It's a little complicated.

  • Questions about the Satellite A200 and TV connection

    I have a laptop Satellite A200 - 1 GB and I tried to plug into a 42 '' Toshiba LCD screen. I have only a VGA connection to TV from my laptop.

    My first question is:
    When I watched a movie I had really big black lines (from the screen). Is there a way I can zoom in on the film I'll have more pictures and fewer black lines?

    Second question:
    What is the best way to connect to the sound?

    Third: Can I use I-link (firewire) to connect to a TV for watching movies?
    Thank you!!

    Hello

    Port VGA specifications was to use and connect an external monitor. Not a TV!

    If you want to connect to the laptop to a TV, then you must use the s-video port that is available too!

    > What is the best way to connect to the sound?
    S-video cable only transmits the video signal.

    If you want to hear the sound on the TV speakers, then you must connect to the laptop to the TV using a [RCA cable | http://www.action-electronics.com/grc/ppmma3.5.jpg].

    Then you connect the TV to headphones Jack cell phone s.
