Satellite p845t-101 touchpad locked

The touchpad on my satellite has locked itself. the locked symbol has lit up on the touchpad and I cannot unlock it, the fn-f5 shortcut does not work, the fn button seems to work with all other shortcuts.
the touchpad works fine when the laptop is booting up but when the boot sequence has finished the touchpad locks out.
HELP ME PLEASE.

Satellite P845t-101 (PSPJ5E-00C00JEN)
the fn-f5 shortcut does not work
There's a setting which changes that to work with just F5.
You can also disable/enable the touch pad by double-tapping the indicator light. This is on p. 2-9 of the User's Manual (attached)

Satellite P845T-101 is not getting as far as POST

I have a Satellite P845T-101 that started to run incredibly slowly. I decided to run the Toshiba factory recovery, but for some reason it managed to wipe the recovery partition as it was clearing off the Windows installation.
Anyway, I figured I'd have a look at Windows 10 evaluation edition that I had recently downloaded, while I waited for my new recovery media to arrive in the post. I installed it fine and it worked (mostly) pretty well for a couple of days. That is until I turned it off one night. I switched it back on again the following day and not a lot happened. This is what I got:
Power button lights up.
Power indicator on front edge lights up.
Fan starts.
CAPS LOCK indicator lit permanently.
Unfortunately, that's all I get. I have tried everything I can think of, including removing all forms of power and holding the power button down for 30 seconds, trying the Windows 10 installation disk again (the optical drive spins up, but nothing else happens), and removing the RAM sticks one at a time and trying again, with no change in result.
My own best guess would be the CMOS battery is duff, but upon opening the case (my laptop is over 2 years old, so WELL out of warranty anyway!) I was unable to access it. I took out all the screws I could locate (carefully logging their positions) but was incapable of actually taking out the motherboard, which hides said battery. Why they couldn't have mounted it somewhere you could get to easily, I don't know.
So, does anyone have any other ideas what the problem could be? Can anyone locate a set of instructions for removing the motherboard? I'm fairly capable (generally speaking) with computers, but this is a new one on me!
Any help would be gratefully received.

I’m pretty sure that you as experienced IT expert know very well how all this works. There are many enthusiasts who want to save the money and try to fix something alone.
Can you imagine what kind of chaos could be result of giving such documents to every customer?
For instance someone try to fix something, destroy some electronic component and later goes to the service and say “it is not caused by me”.
You know very well that something like this will not work. When you by a new car you will also not get a maintenance manuals for car repair. On the market there are “universal rules” for most of the electronic products.
You have a problem so either you can try to fix it alone on your own risk or you will ask for professional help and pay for repair.
To be honest I am also trying to fix many things alone but if something is too risky for me I pay and problem will be fixed. If the problem occurs again I can make a claim.
Sorry if you are not happy with my comment, but I just want to write my opinion about that.

Satellite P845t-107 - Linux kernel doesn't boot at all

Hi!
I recently bought my first Toshiba notebook -> Satellite P845t-107.
Sadly I have a very big problem with it: None of my emergency tools is working.
So I won't have any chance to rescue data from the HD when Windows is broken and I can't search for viruses from a clean system.
All these tools are Linux-based.
In all the years I'm already using such tools I never had such problems with all of the dozens of computers where I had to use that.
I already tried to get help in Linux forums.
They had several ideas but none of them worked. GRUB boots (because UEFI-compatible and secure boot is off).
But after I select the kernel settings to boot with, it gets stuck in a very early stage without any error message.
Obviously Toshiba makes something very very different than other computer manufacturers.
So please tell me how I can make my emergency tools make working again.
Thank you!
notting

The fact you're even getting to GRUB implies you've already unset UEFI boot but I don't make assumptions about the millions of possible LINUX boot and kernel combinations such as the one you didn't spend time describing
UBCD, Hirren and other popular booters are choking more often on the AdvancedFormat drives, most have been updated but their free open source origins results in cross conflicted and frequently unqualified "solutions" and reposts of "fixes" untested by the whatever member on someother followatyourownrisk.com server.
Whether I'm using some purposed repair disc, a LIVE booter of the latest Mint or booting an obsolete 10.x Ubu LINUX from a USB drive, I'm always accessing the AF drive after choosing CSM / "compatibility" in the CMOS UEFI and occasionally fiddling the SATA controller AHCI choices
Your observation about Toshiba uniqueness is pertinent about gaining CMOS access at boot since some models ( I still can't find an authoritative list ) ship with locked BIOS at boot until the Widows TVAP utility is first launched even if it doesn't change anything.
I've personally experienced as much by clamping a death grip onto an unboxed Satellite F12 and F2 before inserting the battery and power cord and every time access to the BIOS isn't granted until Windows is booted and TVAP launches.
Their are minor references to this requirement in the support pages fine print quickly followed with protective legal warnings that sully the overall message.

Re: Satellite P845t - keyboard does not respond

Hi
I am on Satellite P845t with Win 8 and get a serious sensitivity issue with keyboard. It looks like the driver issue but was not able to find the keyboard driver on the website
so, now the main question is where to find it.
Sorry to be summary, but I had to be, because I can't really type... if I type normally
it cms lkehi asically
it becomes like this basically.
Yo

Thanks. I'm then a little lost. In terms of what to do.
It's preinstalled Win 8. 64bit.
Rather suddenly keyboard and touchpad started malfunctioning. I noticed the synaptic driver gone, so re-installed it to a good effect. I don't know how and when it was lost. Hence I thought it would be a driver issue.
Tried:
Toshiba and MS updates
safe mode booting
no luck yet.

HDD Password prompt - Satellite 2450-101

Hello everyone!..
I am a new user and would like to know if any one has any suggestions of how I can fix my computer problem?
I have a Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 laptop which i recently brought a new battery and adapter for due to the machine not being used for several months,everything was fine for a few hours!...the screen went 'blue' and I restarted programe,however I then proceeded to get an error message (forgive me as I don't remember exactly what it said!)that said something about Realteck? and Ethernet cable error and then prompted me to insert system disk?
Unfortunately after pressing enter the same message kept on being displayed,eventually I decided to used the recovery disc's to re-boot the computer but all I get now is the 'Welcome Screen-followed by a long pause,followed by a black screen which ask's for "Built in HDD Password?
Does anyone know if this is a fixable problem?
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated!!
I

Hi
It looks like your HDD is locked using an HDD password.
I dont know why this password is required but if you dont know such password then your HDD is not more accessible and you will have to buy a new one.
Possibly its a simply HDD issue and therefore the notebook crashed before this HDD password has appeared therefore I think you need a new HDD.

Satellite L20-101: Question about memory modules mixing PC2-4300 and PC2-4200

Hello
I have Toshiba Satellite L20-101. It has onboard 512MB RAM (PC2-4300). Today I added another RAM module but this new module is PC2-4200. Is there anything wrong doing this? Both modules are DDR2 and 533MHz and 512MB.

Hi Pawel,
In principle there is no problem with mixing RAM modules of slightly different types but normally the total RAM will only run at the speed of the slower module. If your notebook recognises the correct amount of RAM from both sticks then there will ne no problem.
regards,

CPU upgrade on Satellite L30-101

Hi, I have a Toshiba Satellite L30-101. I've upgraded the RAM successfully to 2GB (2x 1GB) but I'm finding it incredibly hard to get information on processor replacements.
The laptop has the latest BIOS on it (3.10-WIN - 19/02/08) but when trying to find information regarding whats in it I'm hitting brick walls. Firstly the site > http://www.toshiba-tro.de/biosinfo/ < doesn't have my laptop on it,
Product Type: Notebook
Family: Satellite
Product Series: Satellite L Series
Model: ? unknown
Short Model No: ? unknown
I did hope I could stick an Intel Duo in but with the ATI chipset, I'm pretty sure it wont work but again without knowing whats within BIOS, compatible.. I'm lost. The only processor I can find which may work, same package, FSB, socket is an Intel Core Solo Processor T1350 which kicks out 1.86 GHz, not a massive difference and I'm sure it can't be the only replacement option.
Could someone and staff please help me with getting hold of BIOS info and compatible processors for my laptop. The current Intel Celeron M Processor 410 kicking out 1.46 GHz isn't good enough for Vista (cert on laptop) and basic multi tasking. Its lagging way too much even after a good tune up, ram upgrade, HD upgrade to 7200RPM. I'm in need of a processor upgrade but as mention finding it incredibly hard to obtain information of which would be compatible.
Sincerely,
Gourcuff

Hello
In my opinion your attempt to replace CPU is wrong. Why? Satellite L30 is not designed to offer some fabulous performance and it is designed for everyday usage. Best evidence for this was the price. It was not so expensive.
Can you please tell us why do you want to have new CPU? Do you use some special software?
Back to CPU replacement. As you probably know mobile computers have limited upgrade options and it is related to RAM and HDD upgrade. It is definitely unprovided for CPU upgrade and it is not supported. Specific design, especially cooling system is designed for certain CPU.
Due to all this you will not be able to find any relevant info about CPU replacement.
Check please this Toshiba document - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

Memory problems on Satellite L30-101

I have a toshiba satellite l30-101 laptop and wanted to upgrade RAM, so i bought 2x 1GB sticks to put in it.
Now i couldnt find any 533mhz ones so i bought 2 667mhz after a spoke to a technical guy who said if i got 2 of same speed it would work fine.
Only it doesnt at all i can put one stick in and it runs fine with the 533mhz.
One i have in if i try and put both new sticks in it comes up with memory errors and I get the bsod which restarts my comp and would not allow me to run my games or other programs.
Is there anyway to make it so I can have both of the new sticks in as i really need the ram and dont want to buy diff ones.
I mean if I can get one to work other one should surely work right ?
please help im going mad trying to fix the damn thing

Hi
I think the memory speed has nothing to do with the BSOD!
In my opinion the BSOD appears due to the memory module malfunction!
Furthermore the L30-101 supports only the 533 Mhz FSB. In this case you will be not able to run the 667Mhz memory modules with full speed.
The modules will run only at 533Mhz!!!
So in my opinion you should replace the faulty module with a one which works fine!
Best regards

Satellite P845T-107 with Win 8 PRO but after Win 8.1 update it isn't PRO

Yesterday at Saturn Salzburg bought the notebook.
It has on the bottom a PRO Windows 8 label.
Unfortunately, I first initiated the update to 8.1 and then only a backup created on a USB stick.
Windows has muddled up the the Pro version after Win 8.1 update.
Can not join domain, as I expect from a PRO version actually.
How do I get the original Pro version again?
The label does so, that there must have been a Pro license.
How do I get the licenses number?
I'm A bit sour ... how Toshiba is helping me?

Hi
Regarding to the Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page, the notebook was preinstalled with Windows 8 64bit.
[Toshiba Satellite P845T-107 specification page|http://www.toshiba.de/discontinued-products/satellite-p845t-107/]
It was not Pro version.

I will need to put the serial number to get the information.

DVD drive failure at Satellite 2450-101

Hi again guys...
I have another problem with my old Toshiba Satellite 2450-101 laptop which I hope you can help me with.
The original DVD-rom drive - a Teac DW-224E - went 'off the radar' a couple of times about a year ago and would only re-appear in My Computer after a re-boot but it would then quickly disappear again.
It was puzzling as the drive was still listed in Device Manager as working properly.
It would then take a full re-install to get it back again when the process would start all over again.
Now during the boot up process a message appears at the top of the screen saying 'Eide error'..
I bought a new brown-box replacement DVD-RW dual layer drive from PC World- a Sony IA2604H - and installed it but it is exactly the same but this time it is quoted in the Device Manager as a 'SCSI CD-rom device'....which it most certainly isn't.
In both cases the Drives are completely dead and will not even eject the trays.
Needless to say this is driving me nuts.
Can you suggest anything?
With Thanks again..
JB

Can you boot from bootable CD's?
If yes, then try removing the upperfilters and lowerfilters:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=314060
If you cannot boot from CD's, then either:
1) The ODD connector or another component on the mainboard is faulty/loose.
2) The original Teac ODD is faulty, and the new Sony is not compatible (has incorrect Master/Slave settings)

Replacing harddisk for Satellite 2450-101

hi, my laptop harddisk has broken down and I need a replacement harddisk for my aging *Satellite 2450-101* urgently, but I can not find from my mannual and other source the model my laptop support.
I thought it is a *standard internal 2.5" IDE* (and thinking to buy a _Western Digital 250GB 2.5" Hard Drive IDE 5400rpm 8MB Cache - OEM,_ model: _WD Scorpio WD2500BEVE - 250 GB - ATA-100_ ), but I am not certain.
Would anyone know? Please help. Many thanks!

Thank you guys!! Appriciate your helps. Afterall I tried the traditional way today, try it out!
I order from ebuyer the above mentioned harddisk last night, and replaced my broken harddisk with the new one this morning, then run the two recovery disk that came with my laptop, things has gone well. Except that I had no option of partioning the harddisk at the beginning of the process. After a little fiddling with the Computer Manager, my new harddisk is now in a duo partition: ~30GB and ~200GB, which is Okay with me; 30GB is enough for system files, while the other 200GB will keep my data separate. I was suprised that the whole 250GB works fine, at first I was only expecting a reduced disk space leaving the rest wasted, I am happy it all went well.
Also I upgraded my RAM to 1GB from 512MB, which make a significant positive difference in term of system response and speed. I would recommend anyone with an aging Satellite and little RAM to increase its memory, since now aday OS and programs take up alot of memory, this simple upgrade could possibly leave your Satellite runing well for another few years.
Well, now I am back on track!! Thanks guys.

Satellite L20-101: I think 667Mhz module runs only with 266 Mhz

Hello,
I have purchased 2x 1024MB DDR2-RAM for my L20-101.
First I tried 533MHz but the notebook didn't work with them, so I bought the
667 MHz version.
CPU-Z says that the FSB:DRAM-ratio is 1:2 so both are actually running with just 266 MHz.
I've updated the BIOS with the latest version from the Toshiba-homepage, but nothing changed.
So finally my questions:
1. Maybe CPU-Z is wrong (I don't think so...), are there any other good programms to check the memory parameters?
2. If the values shown in the programm are correct: Where can I change the value for the ratio? Is there any possibility to see more than the few settings in BIOS or is it a jumper setting?
Thanks for your help

Hi
First of all its important to mention that the Satellite L20-101 supports an FSB of 533 MHz.
So the DDR2-400/533 256MB (PA3389U-1M25) and DDR2-400/533 512MB (PA3412U-1M51) memory modules should work and are 100% compatible!
If you will use the 667Mhz module, it will run only at 533Mhz because of the limitation of front side bus.
Furthermore I think you have misunderstood something.
These are DD2 modules and therefore the CPU-Z recognizes the modules speed as 266 MHz (2x266 = 532Mhz)
So everything seems to be ok!
PS; You can also use the other tool called Everest home edition. Its a freeware and very useful to run a system and hardware diagnosis
Greetings

Satellite 2430-101: USB 2.0 External HDD problem

Hallo Everybody,
I have Toshiba satellite 2430-101. I recently bought external 40GB hard disk. When I connected to my toshiba usb hub, it says it exceeds the limit of power suppy and I need to detach the external hard disc. When I read from recent questions, somebody suggested to uncheck the power options to the usb hub, but still it says the same. Are they anybody to help me.
Regards
Sri

Hello Sri
Has the USB hub own power supply? If yes I hope that you have tested it with and without power supply.
Can you use HDD if you connect it directly to the Satellite notebook?

Toshiba Satellite U40T-ASP4261SM - TouchPad is locked or Driver issue?

Hello friends,
I just got the new ultrabook, which I'm happy with, however the touchpad stopped to work suddenly, if I connect a USB Mouse it works fine and also the touch screen is also working, but I need the touchpad to work.
seems like it locked somehow, or is it a driver issue?
I'm using the default OS: Windows 8
Could anybody help me with this matter, please
Thanks in advance

Try resetting the Bios by going through these steps
>Properly shutdown the laptop by the shutdown button or by holding the power button for 4 to 6 secs
>Hold down the F2, then press F9, Set to default, Then press F10, Save and exit..
> Your computer will be restarting again then try to move or use the touchpad after logging in to your account ///
Also try using F5 to enable and disable the touchpad..
Let me know if there would be any changes.... ^_^
