Different issues on Satellite L855

Dear Toshiba Community....
I purchased a Toshiba laptop like a half year ago for my study Mediadevelopment. I got the Toshiba Satellite edition L855.
When i received my order i was very happy with it and i knew that i would succeed programming on this nice device.
After 3 weeks of using it , i allready had a scratch just next to the camera. And i must admit that i really handled the laptop with care. I ordered a sleeve case and got it with me in a laptop bag. Even when the lid is closed there are small scratches around my laptop and this started me to worry about what would happen next.
While watching a episode of game of thrones. I noticed a red dot ... just in the middle of the screen. And i don't wanna be cocky but i must say that it aint cool when you allready have a pixel failure in using a laptop like about 1 month.
I received a update for a Driver of my DVD player tray. And toshiba TEMPRO told me there was a BLUERAY player in my notebook... but that was not true.. Just another point that dissapointed me.
I ordered a upgrade for Windows 8... So i could develop apps for Windows 8. It is a very nice operating system BUT... i can't even use my brightness buttons anymore... The screen just fades to dark, and there aint no way to fix it but to reboot my computer, and that is very annoying when you are programming.
The fan of my AMD card also gets really hot while doing nothing. I know how to check if there are much processes running but with even simple processes it gets warm (it even makes my cool glass of soda cook till warm temperature lol!)
And now, and also the reason why i ask for your support here, when i want to close the lid of my notebook. It won't close smoothly... There comes a crackling sound and the cover of the back looks like it lifts up while i close the lid.
Now after all i lost a little hope in my notebook. And i repeat i really handled it with care.. I dont even dare to walk with it while it is closed in my hand. But this are just so much things that makes me sad. Just because of i still need to study 3 years longer and had to pay much money for it... I am sad that sooner or later things just will get worse...
So i ask to you guys, Do you people know what i can do?
Kind Regards,
PS: Sorry for my English!

Hi Jay
Generally speaking notebooks are not so sensitive devices so I dont know how all this can happen, I mean with scratches and clicking noise. It is logic that notebook cannot always be as new one.
I handle my notebooks with care too but they are not in perfect condition anymore.
Cooling fan: try to reduce cooling fan activity changing cooling method option.
Control panel > power options > change power plan settings > advanced power plan options > Toshiba power saver > cooling method change it to battery optimized
This should reduce cooling fan activity.
> So i ask to you guys, Do you people know what i can do?
It is not easy to give you proper answer to this question. What you can try is to contact Toshiba service and ask for some tip. They should have experience with all this and they are in permanent contact with Toshiba so they should have enough info about all this.
By the way: several people have reported about this Tempro message. You should not be disappointed about that. This is automatic procedure and such mistakes can happen.

Different issues on Satellite L450D.

Hi,
I bought this laptop a couple of months ago and im having major problems!
First of all my first problem was that when i first tried to activate my mcafee trial it said it had expired even though i only started up the laptop! But this problem didnt matter anyway as i have had further problems.
Well anyway since that, every now and again my laptop seems to sort of crash and freeze up andit will say windows explorer isnt responding so then i have to restart the laptop and then a thing comes up from windows saying it has to check for "consistency" and it does this often! whatever the problem is i dont know and also incase you think its viruses or spyware or anything like that, its not! because i have had Norton 2010 on my laptop, then removed norton and tried AVG and still nothing was found. I have also done a scan with malwarebytes and nothing has been found!.
Now as of TODAY i have had another problem.
I started up the laptop and it said windows was not genuine when it clearly is genuine because it was bought from Argos and i even went into the system props and it says it is activated and genuine but i was getting messages saying it wasnt genuine!.
Ever since i got this laptop i have had problems with it and im starting to think it is faulty because i have wiped everything out before because the sytem wasnt starting right so i used the data used in disk D.
Even when i done a clean install it still gives me problems!! I think its a fault guys, what can i do?
I brought it to Argos and they kept it overnight but nothing happened as i might have guessed! and they wont give me a replacement or refund because as far as they see it there is no problems with the laptop when there clearly is because i have had problems! Now it is under toshiba standard warrienty so what should i do???
Thanks please reply!!.
Ryan.

Hello
To be honest it is not easy to say what to do in this situation.
When you have several different issues with the notebook it is always best idea to install OS again and test it with factory settings. OK you have done it already but I don't know how you have done this. Maybe you have started to install some favourite software and suddenly it started again and again.
This activation with McAfee is already reported in this forum but obviously there must be some problem with server connection by McAfee. So this issue has nothing with Toshiba. In my opinion you should remove McAfee immediately after clean OS installation. I recommend you to use http://www.free-av.com/
It is free and great antivirus that uses less system resources and run extremely stabile. I use it for years now.
These freezing issues can be result of many different things and it is not easy to say why this happen.
# Enter BIOS and set it to default settings
# Try please to install OS again using recovery image.
# Remove McAfee and install Avira antivirus
# Remove Tempro from the system
# Use clean preinstalled OS for day or two to see if all these issues will occur again
Let us know if all these bad issues will happen again.
BTW: which notebook model do you have exactly?

How to sort out different issues on Satellite A505-S6973

Can anyone tell me, if the warranty period on my laptop has not passed, can i return my laptop to toshiba and have all my issues sorted out. Would there be a cost to do whatever repairs software related needs be done and how i am supposed to go about it because my laptop is beginning to have all sorts of little errors, i noticed that my harddrive has 156gb used although i have about 60 gigs in use.
A couple multimedia buttons aren't working but i touch them, my touchpad doesn't turn off with the hard button unless i turn it off using the FN key and my processor runs low but when i use a program i see it's reaching between 85 to 100% utilization.
I really like this laptop, but the issues i'm having i highly doubt it should operate this way.

Hi mate
Software issues are not covered by warranty!
This means that you will have to pay for everything if the ASP technician would not find any problems!
This is why you should recover the notebook in order to check if its only a software related issue.
>A couple multimedia buttons aren't working but i touch them, my touchpad doesn't turn off with the hard button unless i turn it off using the FN key
Reinstall the VAP (value added package) and flash cards utility
>my processor runs low but when i use a program i see it's reaching between 85 to 100% utilization.
This is not a bug or hardware problem. You will notice this CPU behavior because the CPU supports an feature which helps to save the power and reduce the heat dissipation

Different issues on Satellite T130

Hi all - firstly, newbie alert. Just registered. First post. Be gentle....
Bought a T130 off eBay. Worked ok initially with general browsing & stuff.
One day tried to open the Userguide pdf & everything started going VERY slow.
Eventually it opened. Smelt a rat. Started Adobe reader on it's own - VERY slow. I think corrupt Reader.
Try to uninstall - this does not go well.
Everything glacial - eventaully popup saying "management console has stopped working" (or similar). Now I'm worried.
Lots of disk activity - maybe disk is bad, maybe fragemented.
I defrag - it's fine. I run chkdsk - it's slow, but completes (fixed a few minor things - probably bcos I had to power unit off without shutdown).
At one point it won't even boot & forces a shutdown. I think I'm fried, but when I power it up again it boots up ok... WTF???
I've found some other posts & Google searches which suggest OS corruption, & this sounds like the case to me.
But this is a notebook - I don't have Windows 7 install media.
There is no recovery partition setup (that I can see). So how do I reinstall the OS??
Hope someone can help me here.
My first experience with Toshiba laptops has not been pleasant....
thanks
Steve

Hi
I think the system is corrupt and the OS should be installed again. (as suggested by your own).
You didnt get any recovery disks because there was an option which would allows you to create an own recovery disk!
Try to boot the notebook again and check if the Toshiba recovery disk creator is installed and if you would be able to create a recovery disk.
If this is not possible, then you will need to order a right recovery disk from here:

Different issues on Satellite M40-185RU

Ah, yeah, g'day.
I have started having quite a few problems recently with my M40-185RU. It originally came with a Russian version of windows because it was purchased in Kazakhstan, but that was replaced when I purchased it with a licensed English version and then all of the drivers reinstalled. Now it has worked happily for the past 18 months, but recently more and more functions have stopped working, of which I sort of have blamed various Microsoft updates. I figured I would try and reinstall all of the drivers in the recommended order, then the updates and see if that fixed the problem, but it hasn't.
Problems I have had are, aside from various drivers wanting to download and install in Russian because I am in Kazakhstan:
1)The infrared port stopped working, but I found the quickfix download for that - it still hasn't fixed it. Plus the driver only downloaded in Russian. (trying to download off UK site).
2)The dial up modem has just stopped working and I get an Error 633 code, although no settings have been changed for my modem. I have tried reinstalling the updated modem software, but it still doesn't work.
3)Bluetooth Stack drivers only download in Russian. (trying to download off UK site).
4)Soundmax Drivers only download in Russian (trying to download off UK site).
5)Wireless LAN drivers only wanted to download in Russian, so I didn't bother updating them.
6)Nokia PC Suite wont connect with a USB bluetooth, infrared, or even a blimen cable connection. I have reinstalled this several times, restarted etc etc, but no joy.
7)DVD/CD rom will no longer burn cd's, or even dvd's through Nero, or even the simple "drag & drop" function of Windows explorer.
several of the other drivers also only wanted to download in Russian as well, but as they were not that important I skipped them.
So I guess what I am really after is if anyone has any ideas on how I can fix my otherwise great notebook. While I would love to get everything fixed items 1,2,6 & 7 are the more important ones for me.
TIA everyone.
Keiran

Okay, I have managed to get the modem working again but uninstalling the modem software, uninstalling the nokia PC suite software, restarting, then reinstalling the modem software. So thankfully no more 633 error message on that one.

Satellite L855-124 can't change display brightness after Win 8 upgrade

Hello everyone,
I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite L855-124 PSKACE laptop.
After upgrading to Windows 8, I can't change the brightness backlight of the laptop screen.
There seems to be an error in the graphical driver.
When I install the Windows 7 graphical AMD driver under compatibility, it works again but bugs out on other areas.
Anyone have any ideas?
Even after using the upgrade assistant provided by Toshiba it does nothing.
Also the drivers for my laptop are poorly updated. Dating back to 2012.
I have also called tech support, they told me that a driver team will be fixing the issue.
That was 2 months ago.
Is there anyone from Toshiba that can help me with this please?
Thank you.

Where can I find drivers for Satellite L855-159?

Hello!
I am a recent owner of a brand new Toshiba Satellite L855-159 laptop.
I cannot seem to find any drivers listed for it. i have download some drivers from similar series laptops, like the ethernet driver. That works fine on it, but i cannot seem to find a working wireless driver anywhere.
I have tried the official toshiba page and the toshiba auto detect tool. It says it cannot find my product.
I have also tried entering the serial no. manually and it gives me the same answer.... your product cannot be found or invalid serial no.
(i have tried all versios of toshiba site, in many different languages)
Only time my serial number worked is when i registered the laptop for warranty.
So, i must say that it has been a pain to find the right drivers for my product, and it would not hurt to have a cd/dvd with drivers in the box with the laptop. i know it should be a better solution to have drivers online because you always get the newest version, but a dvd with drivers that always work for your laptop is necessary when the main site FAILS so badly at providing them.
So please tell me... where can i find drivers for my laptop?

Hi
According notebook specification your notebook has part number PSKAEE and all drivers, tools and utilities for supported operating systems you can find on Toshiba support and download page - http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Product type > Notebook
Family > Satellite
Product series > Satellite L Series
Model > Satellite L855
Short Model No. > PSKAEE
Can you find it?

5GHz Connectivity Satellite L855-10P

Can anyone please offer some advice?
(Sorry for the posting but I tried to edit my post and some how lost everything but the Opening question)
I'll try again. My wife bought this laptop approx. 1 year ago. Our ISP is Virgin supply is cable the laptop runs Windows 7. The router used was a TP Link TL-WR740N 2.4 GHz signal. the connection has been unreliable. We installed inSder3 which indicated that the 2.4GHz band was often very congested her reception was often both overlapping and co-channel but we don't recall it to have been broken. When she lost the internet the only solution was to switch everything off and re-boot everything.
InSSIder3 indicated no signals on the 5GHz band. The laptop supplier was adamant that 'the laptop would pick up the 5GHz signal in the same way it had picked up the 2.4GHz signal'.
Yesterday the router was professionally changed for an Asus RT-N66U Gigabit Router Dual Band. The laptop does not identify the 5GHz signal but it's there the installer's smart phone adjacent to the laptop recognises it.
I am old and decrepit but the Manual indicates that the laptop is compatible with 'Frequency channel selection of 5GHz for IEEE 802.11a or/and IEEE802.11n. I took this to be corroboration of the suppliers claim. But now it seems that Toshiba say that the wireless card in this machine should allow the use of the 5GHz frequency but cannot always guarantee the compatibility of 3rd party 5GHz router networks.
Any suggestions? +But please remember my lack of ability+.

Hi
As far as I know the Satellite L855-10P was equipped with Atheros WB225 802.11bgn Wlan card.
The Wlan 802.11 standards operates at different frequencies
So for example:
802.11 a supports 5Ghz
802.11 b supports 2.4Ghz
802.11 g supports 2.4Ghz
802.11 n supports 2.4Ghz and optional 5Ghz but only if the same chip would support 802.11 a standard.
In your case the Wlan chip supports the 802.11bgn without the a standard and therefore I guess 5Ghz isnt supported by the chip

Mild electric shocks touching cover of Satellite L855-12N

hello
I bought a Satellite L855-12n (ice blue) two days ago. it kept stinging my skin like mild electric shocks when I touched the bottom left and right corners of the touchpad. It happened only when it is plugged in and I'm barefoot that led me to the conclusion that is an earthing problem.
I complained to the store but they didnt have a clue and nor did the Toshiba technical support..I tried it in different places and happened also to some friends of mine that checked it, so it's not a problem of my house's sockets.
The store at last e replaced it with another one but *the same thing happened*!!!!
even the model they have for display in the store did the same thing (i actually had to take my shoes off among all the customers to prove my point)
I'm very dissapointed and even thinking about a lawsuit if necessary for a refund . I asked a 3-pin adaptor from toshiba but they said I need to send it to their technical support offices and when that is done I'cant take a refund or exchange it with a new model so I'm taking a big risk here if it turns out that the changing of the adapter doesnt solve the problem.
any help?

Satellite L855-13G - cannot use the Webclaim service

Hello,
I bought a Toshiba Satellite L855-13G (PSKACE-04Y00CFR) in France last year but this computer is already causing me troubles!
The graphic card is making noise, one of the USB port is not working and now, without any software change, the computer shut down after displaying a blue screen with "KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR".
This blue screen comes randomly (let us say about two or three times per day).
I would like to send this computer for reparation but now I discover something very weird: Toshiba has done all the possible to hide L855-13G!
First of all no result on the website:
https://www.google.co.uk/#q=%22l855+13g%22+site:toshiba.com
Second, the model is not listed in the support center:
https://www.toshiba.fr/innovation/generic/SUPPORT_PORTAL/
When I enter the serial number: no result. Also using the "Ou slectionnez votre produit" the model is not listed.
Third, and best, I cannot access the Warranty claim service for a Toshiba product for this computer: when I go on https://weblord.toshiba-tro.de/Webclaim/ and I fill the serial number, the computer is identified (alleluia), I have a green tick for Warranty status and "Your product is still in the warranty period."
But then, I cannot click on next and a mention "Product not available: Unfortunately your product is currently not available" is displayed instead.
So... apparently Toshiba is doing is best in order to forget about the Toshiba Satellite L855-13G but for the persons unlucky enough to have buy one what are the next steps?
I would like to be contacted by someone from Toshiba in order to get an answer, or a proposal to change my computer or at least to repair it!
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards.

> I would like to be contacted by someone from Toshiba in order to get an answer, or a proposal to change my computer or at least to repair it!
First of all I would like to provide you some inforamtions about this community.
This is an user to user community where you could meant Toshiba enthusiasts. You will not find any Toshiba people here
Now some details regarding the notebook fix:
In case your notebooks hardware started to malfunction, you could contact the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country in order to fix the hardware problems.
Here on this Toshiba ASP page you could find all ASPs available worldwide:
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/
Last but not least you should know that warranty covers only the hardware problems.
So in case the notebook does not work properly due to some software issues, the warranty would not cover the costs. Therefore I would recommend you to recover the notebook back to factory settings BEFORE you would contact the ASP.
I hope this info helps a little bit.

Satellite L855-14G - Devices are not detected in device manager

I've reinstalled my Satellite L855/L855D (installed windows 7 instead of win 8) . And there is a problem : many devices are not found , like ethernet / wireless. Video card Radeon HD 7670M also not found. I can't install drivers, the errors apears that my hardware isn't suitable with software (e.g chipset). On toshiba's website i typed my satellite's serial number, but my computer isn't found. Whats wrong with this laptop ?
Same problem here: [http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/386506-33-devices-detected-device-manager-format-win7]
What should i do ? i've tried lots of drivers , but no one works. Please , give me advice. Thank you.

I've entered my satellite's specs on that website and installed chipset utility from that website. But when installion beggins, in description is written , that this version chipset utility (9.3.0.1020) supports i7 proccesors (Target Chipset#: Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family).

Satellite L855-10W - cannot use AMD Dynamic Switchable

Hello every body,
Fistly sorry for my bad english,
I have Toshiba satellite L855-10w with a AMD radeon hd 7670m.
I'm wondering, why i can't use AMD Dynamic Switchable and also why i can't find Intel HD 4000 that must be integrated witch Intel I7 3610qm in my system configuration?
What do you think about this?
Thank you very much

Hi
I read somewhere in the internet that the AMD Dynamic Switchable feature is not supported on Toshiba notebooks.
It seems that only nVidia Optimus Technology (for notebooks with nVidia graphic chip) is supported.

I just loaded some July pictures into my PC iCloud photos upload folder, but I do not see them with my iPad. Are they not shared because they are past the 30 day window, or is there a different issue?

I just loaded some July pictures into my PC iCloud photos upload folder, but I do not see them with my iPad. Are they not shared because they are past the 30 day window, or is there a different issue?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Re: Satellite L855 - max speed with newest SSD

> I am wondering if there is SATA 6GB/s so I can buy newest SSD to use max speed?
I guess you are speaking about the Satellite L855 series since this model mentioned in your subject.
I dont think that Satellite L855 supports an SATA III HDD controller.
I think its SATA I, maybe SATA II
My notebook supports SATA I (1.5Gb/s) and I upgraded the unit with an SSD SATA III drive (6Gb/s). The SSD works fine but of course it does not reach the full 6Gb/s due to the HDD controller limitation.
