Equium L40-17M: WLan connection working but light no longer works

I have recently transferred my laptop Equium L40 17M... from Vista to Windows 7 64 Bit and since then my WiFi Light has not worked --- any ideas????
HELP!

Hi
I assume you are not able to enable the WLan and therefore the WLan does not work in Win 7.
First of all you should ensure that WLan card driver was installed properly and that WLan card was recognized in device manager.
No yellow exclamation marks should be visible in Network adapters.
Here a page with WLan drivers:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
I think your notebook support REALTEK 802.11(B/G) RTL8187B WLan card so you have to choose Realtek WLan driver.
Furthermore you have to ensure that WLan was enabled;
You have to put the WLan switch to ON position in order to enable WLan LED light
Additionally you have to use FN + F8 buttons to choose WLan card.
If Fn buttons would not work, then you have to install the VAP (value added package) and Flash Card Support Utility. You can choose the tools released for Satellite L500...
I did this and this worked

  • Equium L40 PSL41E: WLan connection doesn't work - host process has terminated

    Recently I got a blue screen crash on this laptop after getting a message telling me a host process had terminated.
    The computer is on Vista so I expected problems when my parents bought my sister that laptop.
    Anyway despite the frequent blue screen, stop messages etc. When I get the message telling me the host process has terminated my wireless connection becomes messed up.
    Last time I used the windows: Diagnose why Windows can't find any network option, and was promptly informed that my wireless was turned off (despite the fact that it was actually switched on) and that the computer would automatically turn it back on.
    After that it worked fine for a few days until I got another host process termination and the computer crashed once more.
    This time the computer refuses to connect despite using the method above and the ConfigFree(Connectivity Doctor), repairing the connection etc.
    Possible Solutions I'm given are:
    Check communication device for bridged settings as you may need to disable the bridge or reconfigure. a-15.
    Thats definitly not the problem.
    a-9 Move closer to the wireless router.
    Again not the problem i'm sitting right next to it.
    a-10 Turn of any bluetooth devices or other devices that may interfere.
    There are no such devices near by.
    a-11 Check to verify a microwave oven is not in use nearby.
    It's not in use.
    a-13 Check that the maximum number of devices connected to the access point is not exceeded.
    Well it worked for 6 months before this so i'm sure thats not the case.
    a-37 Make sure the mac address filtering of the access point is configured properly.
    I don't have a clue what this means. But my girlfriends laptop works just fine with the wireless connection.
    a-19 Restart the router/access point
    Done that multiple times.
    Well, Well any suggestions. Fire away i'm all ears.

    Hi
    I dont know why an host process stopped working but from my knowledge the process could be svchost.exe.
    However the issue seems to be related to the Vista OS problem
    I see you have tried to fix this but without to be successful Well you get also an BSOD so I think its an serious software issue and you should firstly use the Toshiba recovery CD to reinstall the OS on this notebook.
    After the new installation (would take about 15min) update the OS to the latest state.
    Then you could try to configure the WLan again
    It worth a try ;)

  • Equium L40-17M PSL49E - Wlan stoped working after BIOS update

    Hi all,
    I have problem with my lap-top.
    The laptop is Equium L40-17M, model PSL49E-00C005KS.
    Before couple days i update my BIOS with version P20B200 (bios-20080617131309), and after update, internal wireless stop working.
    Show me device is enable but activity is off, and i can't turn on device.
    First thing what i think is "Windows" and i start recovery disk. But after recovery problem is still exist, wireless do not working.
    Then i put external USB wireless, and try to connect with router.
    Computer recognize USB but he also do not working good, therefore the problem is not in wireless (i am not sure for this), but i think that problem is it because laptop can't recognize correctly USB device.
    I want to flash bios with old BIOS but i don't have it
    I will grateful to someone who have same problem, tell me how i fix it.
    Or send me old bios for my laptop.

    My mistake, I don't explain correctly what I done.
    Yet yesterday I download driver for WLAN from Toshiba site and install it, but is no result, problem still exist. Combination FN+F8 is forbidden (no displaying icon or not working signal lamp) - its all the same laptop don't have WLAN. It is absolutely strange.
    My laptop OS is: Windows Vista premium (32bit), and first I download BIOS for Vista version 2 of course (I am not such stupid to download BIOS, before read notice), after problem I download & BIOS for XP (just for test).
    And result from test is: WLAN yet not working, when I push Fn+F8, icon for WLAN show me that device is turn off and every time is always off. No matter what button I push or what command execute. Install driver for WLAN, but its same result at - not working devices.
    After all this operation I flash BIOS, with version for Vista, recover laptop with recovery disk and install driver for WLAN. No matter, my hard working was unjustifiable, device not recognized & not working.
    May be tomorrow I try to install Linux, just for try-out.

  • TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?

    TC 2 TB A1409 Wan internet connection no longer working but light is still green?
    My TC and modem have been up and running for at least the last 2 years without any issues.
    It recently started acting up and I would have restart it as I had no internet access. All of a sudden My TC stopped connecting to internet regardless of restart. Utility shows i have no internet connection. I had all the correct green lights on my modem. I figured it might be the modem and connected directly to single ethernet port in modem to my mac book and it worked. When I reconnect modem to TC and restart Modem, TC still shows no internet connection in utility even though I'm getting green sync light on TC.
    Help Please.
    I'm out of warranty, I have not reset to default yet, Im not sure if I will loose my TC back up data.
    please advice
    Remy

    The Gen4 has some nasty faults.. mostly unrepairable...
    If the WAN is gone it becomes pretty well useless at least in its current role as router.
    You might still be able to plug it in by ethernet to a LAN port in bridge.
    Do try a full factory reset.. always worth a go.
    No files will be lost on the hard disk.
    The Factory Reset universal
    Unplug your TC/AE. Hold in reset. and power the TC/AE back on..  all without releasing reset and keep holding in for about 10sec. The time is not important.. it is the front LED rapid flashing that indicates you are in factory mode.
    Release reset.
    If it doesn’t flash rapidly you have released reset at some point and try again.
    Be Gentle! Feel the switch click on. It has a positive feel..  add no more pressure after that.
    TC/AE will reboot after a couple of minutes with default factory settings and will wipe out previous configurations.
    No files are deleted on the hard disk.. No reset of the TC deletes files.. to do that you use erase from the airport utility.
    Check the ethernet LED is going on.. both on the modem and the TC WAN port.
    Do you have any applecare on a computer? If so it might cover the TC.. the rules are complicated but if the TC was bought within 2years before or after the computer it is covered up to max of 3years. You can still get coverage therefore if the TC is over 1 year but less than 2 years by buying applecare now on a computer or an Apple TV which is not too expensive. You can sell off the Apple TV without even opening it.. but use the applecare on it to get your TC replaced.
    Only the very first Gen4 will be up to 3years.
    Did you have a lightning storm or something btw?? Sometimes the modem can survive and pass the parcel to the TC which seems rather fragile.
    There is also a trick to test..
    You must have v5 airport utility.. any older Macs, or windows computer you can load on 5.6 utility .. even dual boot/parallels mac.
    Go to the WAN setup.. and set the ethernet port to 10mbit half duplex.
    Sometimes a damaged port can still manage the slowest speed.. by magic.

  • Airport time capsule 2 TB. All is connected and Wi-Fi is working but light still flashes amber rather than solid green. I have tried to reset but this still happens. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to?

    Airport time capsule 2 TB. All is connected and Wi-Fi is working but light still flashes amber rather than solid green. I have tried to reset but this still happens. Is there a way to fix this or do I need to?

    You want to see a green light on the Time Capsule.
    Once you have set up the Time Capsule initially, a flashing amber light indicates that the Time Capsule has a message for you....possibly about a network condition or notice of an update that is available.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the amber dot and another window will appear to provide the current status....along with suggested actions to remedy the flashing amber light.

  • Equium L40-17M Disc partition re-balancing

    I have a Toshiba Equium L40-17M (UK) laptop where the pre-formatted C drive is almost full, showing 2.48Gb free, and occasionally the disc full message appears.
    In my opinion, I don't have that much software installed, over and above the pre-installed Vista, Microsoft Office, Adobe Reader and a few other fairly small items. I've defragged the drive, used disc cleanup and got rid of any surplus items.
    The E drive (on the same disc) is showing 16.9Gb free, which is fine, as I don't have a requirement for much more file space.
    Having looked at the Disk Management options for both drives, I can see Shrink Volume, but not Expand Volume.
    My question is this: If I shrink the E drive, will the space released be automatically added to the C drive?
    Regards
    Pete

    I think the free space will not automatically added to drive C but try it. If the free space will not automatically added to drive C you can added manually.
    Furthermore I have found an interesting article on the Toshiba website about the new Disk Management tool from Windows Vista:
    http://195.182.196.33/kb0/TSB7101OB0006R01.htm
    And if you ask Google, Im sure that you will find more articles about this. ;)

  • I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library from my ipad using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    I used to able to access and listen to my itunes library on my ipad  using the remote app but this no longer works.  I am connected but sound thru ipad- just controls my library on iMac.  Is this because of they want us to use itunes match

    That has nothing to do with iTunes match. The Remote app on iPad can control the computer's iTunes but not play content from iTunes on your iPad.
    To play for example iTunes imusic on iPad
    You need to have Home Sharing On.
    Check Settings > Music > Home Sharing (key in your Apple ID & password here, must be the same on computer's iTunes)
    Start iPad's Music app, tap the ... More (bottom right), tap Shared.
    Choose your iTunes' library and have fun.

  • Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    Macbook pro to HDTV, video is working but audio is not working, how to make audio work as well

    If you use an HDMI cable, the audiostream will be integrated, so there will be sound when using an HDMI cable!
    Not necessarily.  That only works as stated if you have one of the most recent MBP's that has a built-in HDMI port.
    If the MBP only has a Thunderbolt or miniDisplayPort, you need an appropriate adapter cable and even if you use an HDMI adapter or cable to connect to your HDTV there is no guarantee it will carry audio.  You have to determine if your specific MBP model supports audio out through its miniDisplayPort or Thunderbolt output, and whether the adapter does likewise.

  • My text notification light no longer works now since the Lollipop upgrade.  How do I get it back since i use my phone in silent mode most of the time?

    My text notification light no longer works now since the Lollipop upgrade.  How do I get it back since i use my phone in silent mode most of the time?

        We want you to love your software update pitbullmommy71! When did you update your phone? Have you tried going into phone settings and set up your notifications as you would like them? It can take a few days for your phone to normalize after the update, but this may be a bit much. Some apps may no longer be compatible with the new software so you can try running phone in Safe Mode or do a Hard Reset to see if this improves your phone. I've seen where some have completed a Hard Reset after the update and downloaded all same apps, and phone works flawlessly now. However, if you'd like to try Safe Mode first, (which is where all 3rd party apps are disabled), you can certainly try this for 24 hours to see if improves.

  • IPad3 Speaker isn't working but the headphone is working fine.

    iPad3 Speaker isn't working but the headphone is working fine. I have resetted the all settings and restore to old backup also but it doesn't work.
    Let me know the steps to resolve the issue!

    Check System Preferences > Network > active connection > Proxies tab. Are there proxy servers enabled? If you aren't behind a proxy server (which you probably aren't), uncheck those boxes. (Firefox bypasses the OS's proxy settings, so it's not affected by those settings.)
    Hope this helps...

  • Original iphone works but can no longer be activated for phone use????

    I have one of the original iphones that works but I no longer use (as in I paid $700 for it when it first came out). I just gave it to my nephew and my brother tells me Apple and ATT don't support it and he's being told that it can't be set-up as a functioning phone? That the current version of itunes won't support it either? Does this make sense to anyone? Could this be true? I'm on my 3rd iphone version and the first 2 work I just upgraded so now the old phones can't be used? I gave the same nephew a much older flip phone that still works and it has phone service.... Thoughts?

    This doesn't make any sense to me either. Are we missing some vital information or is he just mistaken?
    Until this last November, I was using a Blackberry Curve. I was visiting a friend and complained about the trackball giving me fits. He went to his kitchen junk drawer and pulled out his very first iPhone 2g and tossed it to me. I've been using it ever since without issue.
    If the phone is in proper working order, it should only take a call to AT&T to order an appropriate plan and sim card. The original iPhone is still fully supported by AT&T and iTunes. While iOS support does end with version 3.1.3 and more and more apps do require iOS4, it still affords a very reasonable user experience. So reasonable, in fact, I am reconsidering my original plan of upgrading to the iPhone 4 this month. What can I say? It kicks BB Curve behind and does everything I need using a sweet grandfathered calling and data plan! laugh
