Downloading a Satellite A505-S6005 X64 Driver

After having used the recovery partition to set the computer back to factory default,
my computer inexplicably went from being a x64-bit to a x32-bit.
A friend told me to download the video driver, which I think is from this resource:
http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/modelContent.jsp?ct=SB&os=&category=&moid=2515202& rpn=PSAT6U&modelFilter=A505-S6005&selCategory=2756709&selFamily=1073768663
I am not the most computer literate, though.
I have no idea which one(s) to select.
Please help, all. Thank you in advance.

I think you mixed up something.
I think your has installed the 32bit system instead of 64bit.
So in such case you have to repeat the recovery procedure once again to choose the 64bit system.
I hope you have created the recovery disk.

Restoring a Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 Drivers

Hello,
I've just wiped my dad's computer, deleted the partition, created another one, reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium SP1, and am looking for drivers to install. I went to Intel's website and installed the Intel Driver Update Utility. I've been able to update the Intel Display drivers just fine but I need all the rest of the drivers for the laptop motherboard.
I've found the drivers area on the support portion of this website. I'm looking for a zipped folder that will contain an .exe file that will install the needed drivers. Does anyone know if something like this exists or if I could be pointed to the correct files? The list of device's that need drivers are indescript in the Device Manager.
Thanks for your help!

No such thing. In addition, the order of installation matters. Why struggle? When you restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media all of the drivers and utilities are properly loaded. And Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here .
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 70 of the User's Guide.

Problem with windows 7 on a Satellite A505-S6005

About a year ago I bought that model, everything worked fine, sound, video, everything.
About 2 or 3 months a nasty virus attacked my laptop and I had to reinstall the windows 7 home premium 64 bits.
And after reinstalling the OS I downloaded and installed all the drivers, but the Problem I came up with is that although I installed the drivers I couldn't make use of any programs that required the use of the graphic card, I would really like some help with this Problem, because I really need to use the graphic card for some programs at the university help please.

I had to reinstall the windows 7 ... I downloaded and installed all the drivers
Your best bet is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
If you don't have the recovery partition and you didn't burn recovery discs, then order the discs from Toshiba.

Satellite A505-S6005 wont boot up

Let me expain what happened.
I graduated yesterday and as a graduation present I recieved this laptop. I have only had it for about 1 day and it already crashed. My father was helping me install some security software called Panda. After installing it we had to shut the computer down for it to take effect. It took forever to start back up and sat at the welcome screen for about an hour. This morning I was able to use it just fine but then shut it off to conseve power and so I could go do something else. When I came back to it the screen still said it was shutting down. My father used to work for a computer company and told me to hold down the power button and turn it off. So I did. Ever since then it will take me to the Windows is starting page (I have windows 7) and it will sit there for hours on end then the screen will go black. I have tried restarting it but it will not let me start it in safemode. The number lock will work but it is delayed. I know it is not completely dead because the number lock works. Please please help me. I'm desperate. I dont have a back up disk or anything. I was going to do that today but then this happened.

It may very well be a hardware problem, in which case you would want to return the computer right away.
But first try restoring the hard disk to its original factory-new state using Toshiba recovery media. See the section Recovering to out-of-box state (recommended recovery method) starting on p. 61 of the User's Guide.

Sound and Mouse Problem on Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 - Related?

Hello-
I bought my A505 back at the end of April and have had these two annoying problems that I have been trying to solve for about three plus months now. The first started right out of the box as it were and it involves the sound "burping" at me periodically. It's a hard sound to describe. It's kind of like a digital croak or a stutter all rolled into one. It now likes to do this exactly at midnight every night, when the CPU usage will spike, but I can't find anything running at that time (I don't have any virus scans, defrags, etc. set for that time). High CPU usage normally doesn't cause this anyway - I'll be running how many programs and the sound will be fine.
My other problem is a recent one and that is that the mouse pointer will periodically just hang up for a few seconds every so often. It's not a battery problem (I use a wireless Logitech) seeing as I keep it well fed and I tried using a wired mouse and got the same hang up.
Are these two problems related? I've tried to find information on this but haven't found anything useful to me. I've tried turning down the fancy settings on my Windows, turning of my webcam and microphone, everything.
I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!

BIOS Recovery procedure for Satellite A505-S6005 PSAT6U. How I do it?

Hi there!
I have a Toshiba A505-S6005 PSAT6U and have an update corrupted while update the BIOS of my laptop.
Since that time my laptop overheated and I want to lower it to version 1.3, ie the above that worked well.
During the upgrade process, my laptop was turned off and then started, but too hot.
What would be the process of recovering a BIOS in case of crisis, not boot after updating the BIOS?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards.

Toshiba Satellite a505-6005 hard drive issue and questions regarding options I may have

Issue: start up computer and windows does not start. It eventually goes to a startup repair screen and eventually says "resolving disk errors...", and that's if it even gets to that screen. Unfortunately I never made a recovery disk or system image discs (I know that was not smart). I did however kept my files backed up so that was good.
Steps I took: Took it to Best Buy and the tech advised me that the Black Tie 2 year protection had expired on Jan 30th 2012, and so it could not be repaired for free. I asked the tech there how much it would cost to fix and they had advised me that it was most likely a hard drive issue and that it would cost nearly $400 to replace/fix it. So I decided to buy a new Asus K53E-BBR14 laptop since it was not much more. When I got home and loaded everything up and got the computer to how I want, I went ahead and made a recovery disc and system image disc's. I tried using the recovery disc that I had made with my Asus in the Toshiba laptop and boot it from the dvd drive and it did not get anywhere. So I ASSUME that it really is a hard drive error because the RAM worked just fine in my new laptop and "repairing disk errors.." means something is wrong with the hard drive:
Now that you know the background of what has happened my questions are as followed:
1. Can I buy a new hard drive for the Toshiba and use the recovery and system image disc's i created on the new hard drive that i install in the toshiba? and just removed the bloatware from Asus (or does that not even get added to the disc's I created)?
2. If so, will it prompt me to enter the Windows 7 product key? and therefore using the product key located on the bottom of the toshiba?
3. What other steps could I take to make this toshiba laptop salvageable? This way i can turn around and sell it.
Thanks,
Russell States

Also,
I noticed that i can purchase (well pay the shipping anyways) recovery media from Toshiba. Can I use that on a new hard drive installed in the toshiba?
BTW ran the Windows Memory Diagnostics Tool and no problems were found with the memory. and i do not care about the old hard drive as I have MY files backed up. I just want to try to get this toshiba laptop back to being "like new".
Thanks,
Russell

Replaced HD in Satellite A505-S6005 and which drivers

do I download for media control buttons and wifi buttons?
I just want those drivers.

Are you trying to recover out-of-box state to your new HDD? Do you also mean applications not buttons? If your original computer came with those drivers then they should be installed to an original factory setup when you do a full recovery. Note Jerry posted a warning about a new HDD with certain update problem may occur on this post. http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Drivers-and-Utilities/About-HDD-Protection-feature-after-HDD-replacemen...

Recovery DVD's for Satellite A505-S6005

Hi, I've just bought this laptop and it hadn't occurred to me that I should make the recovery discs until after I've uninstalled some of the trial programs and messed with the settings. If I create a recovery disc now, would it still turn the laptop into its out-of-box state or would it just turn it to the way my computer is at the point where I made the recovery disc?
I suppose it doesn't really matter, but I would like to know.
Also, is it possible to use the recovery disc without logging in to a user? Like having it inside the disc drive and pressing a certain key as it turns on.
And is it possible to turn this laptop into its out-of-box state without the disc, as long as there aren't problems like viruses and the like?

the recovery data is all on separate partitons. it doesnt matter what has been changed before you make the recovery media. but MAKE IT NOW!
to use the recovery media just hit F12 during boot and then select to boot to dvd drive first.
to do the recovery using the hd partitions instead of the disks hold zero above P during boot.

A505-S6005 No Longer Recognizes Disks in CD Drive

My A505-S6005 laptop no longer sees discs in the DVD/CD drive. Explorer still shows the drive, Hardware Manager says the driver is current and that the device is working properly, but nothing I put into it is recognized or accessible. I don't know if this is a Toshiba problem or a Windows 7 issue. Any suggestions?

Looks like a hardware issue.
Can you try booting off a Boot CD or DVD. Try going into windows in Safe mode. This will help narrow down the problem.
Good Luck,

I have that problem and my laptop freeze.
If anyone knows what it is and how i can fix it.
thanks!!!

Hi
Install the Toshiba Value Added Package for Win 7 64bit and check if it will solve your problem.
The driver for ACPI\TOS1901 seems to belongs to Value Added Package
As Im not mistaken the Satellite A505-S6025 was released in USA. Therefore you should use the Toshiba US driver page to get the package.

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 Windows Vista OS won's startup

I have a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 with Windows Vista OS.
Recently, the OS would not start up, it will stay at the "miscrososft corporation" logo page forever.
I tried F8 to start as Safe Mode, the safe mode started but will load some files, and stay on that page forever.
I tried launch the System Repair, the report is as following:

I tried to use System Restore, but it tells that it did not find a restore time that is good.
The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer. I still have other computer to use, so I am not so worried about start up the computer. I want to find out a way to first back up my personal data and files from the computer to an external devices, then try to fix the computer. Thank you.

Yes, that's exactly what you should do first. Later we'll try to resurrect Windows. This is my favorite way nowadays.
1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
4. Run Unetbootin-windows-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

NEW Satellite A505 - Blu-ray won't play on WinDVD or Toshiba DVD player

I purchased a Satellite A505 (Windows 7) with a Blu-ray disc player that was pre-loaded with WinDVD, Toshiba DVD player, and one other player (?) - all this software was added 12/21/2009 (by the manufacturer). When I put in a Blu-ray disc WinDVD stops responding and I have to start the task manager to "end task." The Toshiba player says "media not supported." I used the recommended compatibility settings (Windows XP) and it says "incompatible application." I tried using a Sony Vaio w/ Blu-ray and had no problems with the same disc using WinDVD. I don't know what's wrong (and I'm not super tech savvy) - my settings, my drivers, my hardware... ???
I also downloaded the free trial of Corel's WinDVD 2010 and it wouldn't play on that either...
*Note - my model number is A505-S6012 but I can't find this as an existing model on any of the Toshiba sites. It was delivered to the store around 1/4/10, so it's brand new. The A505-S6990 has most of the same features though.

jacuielaura,
I had the exact same issue with the Win DVD BD that was preloaded on my A505-S6014 when I purchased it. I myself also downloaded the Win DVD 2010 free trial and it did not work. Reason being is that they are only allowing people to trial the DVD version of Win DVD 2010 and not the Win DVD BD 2010. I also tried Cyberlink's PowerDVD and it worked but it digitized terribly. So I uninstalled both trials and went to support.toshiba.com and found what I needed to fix it.
I recommend you uninstall the original Win DVD BD version you have and any trial editions you downloaded and follow what I have listed below to fix your problem.
This is only a recommendation. Uninstall and install software at your own risk. If this fix doesn't work for you then you will have to call Toshiba and request a disc to reinstall your original software you uninstalled.
This is how I fixed mine:
Go to Support > Download > then choose your category (Laptop) then your Family (Satellite) then you're model #(A505-6012). Or you can just enter S6012 in the search box and it should bring up a list of all Laptop models with S6012 in them. Choose yours and click Go.
Now from the two drop down lists choose which Operating system: (Windows 7 64 bit) should be what you have, then choose Blu-Ray in the 2nd drop down list.
Download and SAVE these files to your desktop or My Downloads folder so you do not have to search for them again after you reboot.
You should now see this listed:
WinDVD BD for Toshiba for Windows 7 (32/64)(v8.0; 11-05-2009; 176.1M)
Also you will need to download the (Intel Management Engine Interface driver) which is listed in the drop down list under Utility (2nd page):
Intel Management Engine Interface for Windows XP/7 (32/64)(v6.0.0.1184; 10-08-2009; 6.39M)
Reboot after each installation even if it doesnt tell you to.
After both downloads have been installed and the OS is completely loaded again, insert a Blu-Ray disc and hopefully it should automatically play.
P.S. When playing Blu-Ray's I turn my power management to Performance. This may also help.
Good luck!

Hard disk error on Toshiba Satellite A505 56980

Hello,
Windows keeps bringing up a notification that the hard disk on my Toshiba laptop(A505 56980) has errors. It recommends for me to get hardware technical support to determine if the disk can be repaired or needs to be replaced.
My disk name is TOSHIBA MK5055GSX and I have only one volume C:\ drive.
I am running my antivirus scan just to make sure I don't have any active viruses or trojans damaging my hard drive. My computer freezes for a few seconds on and off. Not sure if this is related to the hard disk error.
I have backed up all my info and also created system recovery disk. I also have the recovery disks from when I got the laptop.
My question is how do I go about diagnosing the hard disk error and geting it fixed? What is the warranty for hard disks? I bought this laptop beginning of last year.
I appreciate any help I can get to resolve this problem.
Thanks
- Priya K

Perhaps your model name/number is Satellite A505-S6980?
Satellite A505-S6980 Specifications
Satellite A505-S6980 Downloads
Restart your system, when you see the Toshiba logo start pressing the F8 key repeatedly until you enter the Advanced Boot Options Menu, choose 'Repair Your Computer'.
This should take you to the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRe)
Select 'Command Prompt', and type in this command, hit the 'Enter' key, and restart your computer:
chkdsk c: /r
This will check your hard drive, try to recover any corrupted files/data it can, and repair any problems it can. It takes a while to run anyway. But, if there are problems with your hard drive, it could take many hours. Just keep checking back, it will give a report as it goes, and when it's finished.
Let us know the results. Good luck.
