• I have a laptop and he says: my WiFi is disabled and must be enabled. I have no idea how to proceed.

  I have a laptop and he says: my WiFi is disabled and must be enabled.  I have no idea how to proceed.  Not very computer savy.

  Consult the manual where there is a diagram of the buttons and ports on the computer and there should be a switch that you toggle or a function key, you need to press to activate / disable the WiFi features.  It will depend on the model, in order to check the manual.

• Need to disable acceleration hardware and smooth scrolling for users on a Remote Desktop Session.

  Hello
  I need to disable acceleration hardware and smooth scrolling for any user that connects to an RDS Server. I messed up the mozilla.cfg and created an autoconfig.js file. I guess I'm missing something along the way.

  This is currently my autoconfig.js
  Pref ("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
  Pref ("general.config.obscure_value", 1);
  Pref ("app.update.channel", "liberation");

  Mozilla.cfg
  Smooth Scrolling disabled
  lockpref ("general.smoothScroll.disabled", true);
  disables hardware acceleration
  lockPref ("layers.acceleration.disabled", true);
  lockPref ("gfx.direct2d.disabled", true);

  All that I'm missing? When I restart the two options are always checked in the options.

  Thank you!!

  Hi b1gt3x, you use a clear cfg file, you'll want to put this in your instead of autoconfig.js:

  pref("general.config.obscure_value", 0);
  pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
  

  In addition, you will have to make lockPref with a capital P in any case - that it reacts very sensitive to spelling errors...

• Satellite L350D (PSLE0E) - WIFI hardware switch does not work

  Hello!

  Next problem: since yesterday, I have Windows 7 on the laptop, almost everything works perfectly. Not been necessary to load the drivers from the Toshiba site, Win 7 provides with the pilots, the rest comes via update...

  What does not work is the Wi - Fi switch. Whether on or off - Wi - Fi connection is always on, or in other words, the switch has no function.

  Someone at - it similar experiences and perhaps the solution?

  Thank you and excuse my English

  Hello

  This strange because the hardware WLAN switch should always work because s he based material s

  Anyway, in your case, I'll try this:
  -Updated the BIOS and load default settings
  -Update the WLAN driver

  One more interesting thing: can you turn the WLAN functionality by using the FN + F9 key combination?

• Satellite L40 - F14 with Windows XP - seeing WiFi is disabled

  Hello!

  I have satellite L40 - F14 with Windows XP Home SP2 - and everything works fine.
  But there is a little problem with indicator LED WiFi - WiFi works normally.
  connection with router and... This LED turns OFF. It is not big problem,
  but I like, if everything works well :)

  Now I have the latest version of the driver installed (from 29.11.2007)---> http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/drvpack-en-20071119132412.zip.

  Can you give me link to correct functioning driver WiFi for Satellite L40 - F14 or answer where is the problem?

  Have you checked if the WLan switch on the side of the laptop is on? This switch activates and deactivates the WLan led. If this is not enough, I guess that there is a hardware problem. Perhaps some loose contacts, for example.
  This can be corrected with any software update, I think that the technician should take a look in the notebook and should check this

  _*@chris4o*_
  First of all it s very strange that your laptop has not delivered with any Windows operating system! Each new Toshiba notebook was shipped with the Windows operating system and the image of Toshiba should be already preinstalled.
  In addition, you should find the Toshiba Recovery CD in the package. This CD contains all the drivers Toshiba, tools, Windows OS and additional software!

  With regard to the pixel dead;
  Usually the internal laptop display can be replaced if a large amount of dead pixels would be displayed on the screen. There is an exactly information about replacing the screen.

  Please check this:

  In any case, I recommend you really clarify this two issues from your laptop dealer! The laptop must have the OS!

• How to turn on a wireless network card on a Satellite 3000 514 without hardware switch?

  I have a 3000-514 Satellite. This laptop has an internal mini PCI slot. Recently, I bought an Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG wireless mini PCI card.

  The drivers have been installed correctly. The computer has detected the card and the condition of the equipment indicates that the device is functioning properly. However, a message appears indicating that the radio is turned off and must be turned on by the switch hardware. It seems not to be possible to activate the card without the switch...

  See the corresponding page in the Intel support:
  http://www.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/sb/CS-020275.htm

  Now, the problem is that the laptop Satellite 3000 514 has quite such a material change.

  Does anyone have an idea what to do?

  Hello

  If the switch is not available then it of not possible to pass the card ;(
  It seems that the camera is not minPCI scalable WLan!

  In this case, he must use an external solution such as a USB WiFi key or card PCMCIA WLan

• Satellite A200-1GC (PSAE3E) how to disable the WLAN switch?

  Hello everyone,
  is it possible to disable this stupid wlan switch, which prevents any new wlan card working properly? I tried to install several different wireless network cards: Intel 5100, Intel 5300 etc. Each card was working properly (Device Manager), but the wlan led not lit. Windows 7 64 bit always says, I should switch. But the switch is already turined. I installed the additional package of value also. The Fn + F8 key combination just doesn't work. When I install the old WiFi Intel 3945 card, then everything works well: the wlan led beds and so on. All reviews of toshiba in charge of people maybe?
  Kind regards
  Igor

  I found a solution by myself. I cut the wire on my WIFI 5100 leading to pin 20 on the map. Still, the switch does not, now, does not prevent my card work nomally. Now I have plenty of 300 Mbps speed. :)
  Another option would be to cover the pin 20 on the map with a tape for example.

• USB mouse disabled / freezes on switch or on-screen user screen once I disconnect

  So just like the topic says my USB mouse is disabled and the cursor hangs in the middle of the screen after selecting "change user" or "quit".

  I want to emphasize that the keyboard works very well and the issue seems to be the mouse only.

  Things, I already tried to do and failed:

  Connect the mouse to a usb 2.0 port - tried but the problem persists.

  verification of updates of driver to make sure that everything is up to date - done via windows update, everything is up-to-date

  It is not the drivers.

  I need to reconnect the mouse each time to operate after I log off the coast or change user and

  It's quite annoying so I really need to get this one solved.

  Thanks in advance!

• Satellite L300D will not recognize USB drive, except if the WIFI is disabled

  I have a venerable L300D Satellite under Vista SP2. I also have a Fujitsu 40 GB SATA HDD of my old laptop in a USB2.0 caddy, with double USB plugs to require more current.

  I can sign in successfully caddy USB to my laptop Windows 7 via a simple USB port on a USB 2.0 so I know it works.

  On the Satellite L300D, it implements the Generic USB drive in Device Manager, but does not record the 2 disk partitions in the storage of files in Windows Explorer. In fact when you try and expand the COMPUTER in the Explorer it times out.

  I noticed that the WLAN (Realtek TL8187B) is on the same USB 2.0 controller, so I disabled it. It turned off my wireless, but immediately the Windows Explorer was shot in life and I could access partitions (D:, and G :) may even run the check disk (no failures) and Defrag. As soon as I turn ON the WLAN driver disc fails to register.

  I've updated the Realtek drivers on the Toshiba web site but I want a solution that allows me to use the disc AND the WIFI network at the same time.

  Someone at - it ideas?

  Hello Colin

  Have you started using your laptop with the original version of Vista that you got with your laptop?

  I use Toshiba laptops for a long time now but I've never noticed this issue although I use external hard drives and USB keys quite often.
  Since when did you notice this kind of behavior? To be honest, I can't imagine that this problem persists since the day where we as original recovery image is tested and something like that should not happen. Maybe some updates may be responsible for this.

  Trying to remove driver WLAN, reinstall the chipset driver and reinstall WLAN driver. After doing this test he has once again please and send feedback.
