Can't enable Bluetooth on my Satellite A300- 1BZ

The package of my notebook listed bluetooth on this but I cannot enable this. Operating FN-F8 just shows WiFi on/off.
Also there seems to be nothing in the control panel or device manager . I was wondering if it maybe the earlier bios upgade to 3.6 version was the problem but I dont know if it was on before this.

Please apologize but this has nothing to do with arrogance.
Usually you have to check firstly the notebook hardware specifications before you would start to enable something Furthermore before using any devices you should take a look into the user manual if such device is available or not.
Many people ask something which was already described in the user manual or already mentioned on the forum

Can't enable bluetooth second time after 3.0 upgrade

Since the iPhone 3.0 upgrade, I can only enable bluetooth once. If I turn bluetooth off, then attempt to turn it on again, it appears to crash and I am not able to turn on bluetooth. The only way I can enable bluetooth is to turn the phone off, then back on.

I'm not sure what you mean by turning "automatically join networks" on.
Under Settings->Wi-Fi, I have turned on "Ask to Join Networks," which is what I think you mean -- it says, "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will be asked before joining a new network." But even if I turn that toggle off, it still says, "Known networks will be joined automatically. If no known networks are available, you will have to manually select a network."
The behavior I had in the past was that my iPod would reconnect to my office network when I woke it from sleep, so I feel confident it's always automatically connected in the past, and is set as it should be to do so in the future. (Even while asleep, it would occasionally alert me to new e-mail. Since it loses its connection now, it doesn't do so.) Either way, I'm confused about why attempting to manually rejoin a known network would even occasionally get me an "Unable to join network" message, when tapping "Other ..." and re-entering that same network's settings would be successful. Seems it is able to join that network, but won't do it automatically -- and occasionally won't do it unless I teach it about that network all over again.
But there's also that "Auto-Join" toggle I've mentioned above, on the Wi-Fi Network settings page for this particular network. No matter how I try to turn that toggle on, it reverts off as soon I scroll down the page or tap the button in the top bar to return to the Wi-Fi Networks screen.
For what it's worth, it remembers my home Wi-Fi network just fine, and connects automatically when reentering range of my router. It also reconnects when waking from sleep, and periodically while asleep as well.

Satellite A300-1BZ: %1 is not a valid win32 application after themes change

Having had my Satellite A300-1BZ for a couple of years now I found myself suddenly bored of the standard vista themes and began to play around with changing them. (I was after an ultimate black look with changed start buttons and menu's etc)
Anyway cut to the chase, I went wrong somewhere with VistaGlazz following the steps of replacing something like shell32.dll
As it said in the readme file I changed it to shell32.dll.bak
My computer continued to run fine until I ran a restart. After that all I got after the log on screen was a blue screen with a mouse.

Luckilly I have an iphone so managed to get onto the internet forums and find a solution which was to use a command in cmd.exe which repaired the problem.
The only thing now is that I have an extremely basic windows classic theme which when I try to change it to Vista in theme settings it gives the message:
*"the theme could not load. %1 is not a valid win32 application"*
Any help and step by step for basic user would be much appreciated! I am guessing it cant all be that bad since Windows is still running and functioning correctly!
Thanks

Thank you for both your replies, I have attempted to do a system restore to various points however each time get an error message saying that the restore could not be completed? I will give it a go again later on and repost the contents of the message.
I then started digging for my recovery disks which I had to create myself when buying the laptop and have only managed to find disc one and I'm sure I remember creating two but cannot find it anywhere.
Do you know what content would be on disc two and whether I can do it with just number one disc?
Thanks for your assistance its very much appreciated!

How can I use bluetooth on my Satellite C850-B906

Please help me. How can I use bluetooth on my C850-B906 Satellite. I can't find it on the search bottom and even in PC Device, bluetooth is not there. This laptop has bluetooth according to its specs. (Bluetooth / W-LAN (802.11B/G/N).
Any good answer will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Hi
First of all: you are right: the Satellite C850-B906 supports Bluetooth
http://www.toshibamea.com/CSPDF/Satellite_C850-B906-52424.pdf?ran=4qmi69d8z1
But the notebook was not preinstalled with an Windows system and therefore I guess you installed the Windows OS (which one?) at you own hand.
Probably you did not install the essential software / drivers which would allow you to use the BT
The Realtek WLan module supports BT and therefore you have to install the Bluetooth Filter Driver Package a well as the BT stack from Toshiba driver page.
After that you have to use the function key combination to enable the BT.

How can I use PCMCIA card in Satellite A300-177?

I recently purchased a PCMCIA wireless card for my Satellite A300-177 laptop and when i went to fit it found out that they use the express card now.
Just wondering would this converter fit http://www.roalan.com/expresscard_to_pcmcia_cardbus.htm.
I know this might seem a bit obivous but with companies nowadays you never know if the conections are the same even though they share the same name.

Hello
Is your notebook delivered without WLAN card or you want to use faster WLAN card?
The adapter compatibility can confirm the manufacturer itself. They must offer specification for own product.
Anyway, I think your notebook has WLAN on board and I don't see the reason to have this big additional part. Sorry but it looks awesome for me. I can understand you must to have it because the notebook is without WLAN but .... I don't know.

Can i enable BlueTooth and keep my headphone output?

well, the header says it all...
Bouke

No, the header really doesn't say it all. Enabling Bluetooth doesn't do anything except turn on the Bluetooth transceiver in the iPad. You could leave it on all the time if you wanted. You might see a slight increase in battery use but nothing else. You could still plug wired headphones in and use them. So, i'm guessing your question is more about pairing and connecting something to the iPad. One od the few things you can pair and connect to an iPad by Bluetooth is a keyboard. And yes, you can pair and connect a Bluetooth keyboard to an iPad and still use wired headphones.
Best of luck.

MousePad & Keyboard dont work under Win7 on Satellite A300-1BZ

Hi,
I have just installed Windows 7 onto my laptop which is around a year old now but the mouse pad and the keyboard do not work. No lights on the caps lock keys or anything, the only way to get them to work is to press the power button so that the laptop goes into sleep and then press it again to wake it up, this then wakes up the keyboard but the mouse pad still does not work.
I can plug a USB mouse in and this works but I would prefer if the touchpad and the keyboard would just work in the first place!! However if I then restart the computer using the keyboard the touchpad then suddenly works.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

I have upgraded my Satellite A300 to Win7 and both devices works perfectly.
Have you made upgrade or clean Win7 installation?
To be honest it is a little bit strange. I have installed WXP, Vista and now Win7 on my A300 but touchpad and keyboard worked well all the time.
Have you noticed this immediately after fist start or later?

Satellite A300-1BZ with Vista - Com Port has disappeared

Hi everyone.
My first time and I'm a bit of a duffer with technical stuff, so please be gentle with me!
A300-1BZ with Vista.
A while ago I installed 'CarSoft V.83' (Engine diagnosis) from CD onto my laptop. It asked me to verify the com-port.
I looked in the device manager and in the list I saw 'com-port 4'. Ok, we'll go with that then. Everything worked fine and I was happily talking away to my car.
Yesterday I went to use it for the second time and it said there was an error with the com-port and to 'verify' the com-port.
So, I got the device manager back up and there is no mention of any com-ports in the list! It was there the last time I looked and now it's vanished!
I was at a loss what to do so, I uninstalled the CarSoft and then re-intsalled it again. Got the same error message.
Went to device manager. Still no com-port 4 in the list, or anything that relates to a com-port.
I don't know how or if I can get it back.
Please help!

Hi mate
First of all there are no com ports. The com port which you could see in device manager was an virtual port created by car software.
What to say
I recommend removing the car software from the system firstly.
Then download the CCleaner and clean the system and registry entries.
Reboot the notebook and run the CCleaner again
After that install the car software again
Maybe it helps

Intel Matrix Storage Console - Satellite A300 1BZ

Hi
I have a A300 1BZ and I've noticed that the Intel Matrix Storage Console is informing me that I have 3 SATA ports (0,1 and 2).
It informs me that ports 0 & 1 are in use (I have 2 hard disks fitted) and port 2 is not being used.
What I want to know is it possible that this little A300 can accommodate a 3rd hard disk?
Feedback appreciated!

I've just looked at my friends P300 the Intel software lists 4 sata ports available, one is being used for a hard disk and the other is being used for his DVD/CD drive, 2 are unused.
Maybe my 3rd port is for the option of having SATA optical drive as my current CD/DVD drive is ATA!
Makes more sense!

How can I enable bluetooth printing on HP BT printer card?

I have an HP Deskjet 460 and wanted to use the HP Bluetooth Printer Card with it. So I set it up per instructions (I think) but I haven't figured out how to make it discoverable to my USB bluetooth dongle.
I've tried the dongle in both my laptop and desktop and in both instances the computers recognized the 'bluetooth radio device' and verified it is working okay, but in neither case can the computer 'discover' the bluetooth-enabled printer so they can connect.
I was hoping to find better instructions from HP but was unable to so I'm trying this forum instead.
Thank you.

Hi Pete4750,
There are only two possible solutions, that I can think of:
1) Find an older computer with Windows XP on it so that you can install software and use the Printer Toolbox to enable the bluetooth.
2) You can try installing the Windows XP software that includes the Printer Toolbox on Windows 7 using compatibility mode. Make older programs run in this version of Windows.
Otherwise, if these solutions do not resolve your issue, please call our phone support at 800-474-6836. If you live outside the US/Canada Region, please click the link below to get the support number for your region. Country-language selector.

Re: NB100-12A - How can I enable Bluetooth?

I have just bought a NB100-12A.
On installation and every few hours since it starts a process "Installing Bluetooth driver " which opens a dialog box which says "please plug in the bluetooth device and click the OK button" if I click OK the message appears again in a minute. If I click cancel the installation program ends abnormally and then restarts a few hours later.
I can't tell if the NB100-12A has bluetooth built-in (although the packaging says it does) and if so how to enable it. Is it a software error, or could it be that the bluetooth device is faulty. Is there any way to test the bluetooth function?
In Control Panel the Bluetooth Local COM has no entries in it. Does this mean it simply has not installed?

Are you using the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack? Or the Microsoft Bluetooth Stack?
I would try this:
Uninstall the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack from Add/Remove Programs.
Install the Toshiba Bluetooth Monitor (This will enable the Microsoft Stack). A Bluetooth icon should appear in the System Tray or Control Panel.

Satellite A300-1BZ - where can I get HDD Aluminum Housing!

Anyone know where you can get the aluminum housing that secures the hard disk to the laptops HDD bay?

Anyone out there know what I going on about!
I'm after the thin aluminum ( i think its aluminum) casing that keeps the hard disk stable in the bay! I have a second hard disk and I want to install it! The hard disk in the first bay already has this fitted but I need another one for the 2nd bay.
I've looked on line but can't seem to find where you can buy them from, I'm wondering if they are generic of specific to toshiba!
Any feedback would be appreciated!

Can't enable Bluetooth after 2.1 upgrade

Upgraded (original iPhone) to 2.1. After reboot Bluetooth will not turn on. It just spins forever in the pref pane.

After the 2.1 upgrade my iPhone would not recognize my Jawbone. Per this discussion, I restored the iPhone in iTunes 8. Pairing is back! Both the Jawbone and TomTom were immediately there.
Thanks!

Can anybody advise where to purchase a recovery disc please?

Of course you can buy a new recovery disk. Just click on the following link and order a new one:
