How to install external speakers on Satellite L500?

Hi
I have just purchased Satellite L500 (PSLS6A-00X013) and have some surround sound speakers that I want to attach- please could somebody explain how to do this.
I also would like to know do you need to unplug the computer after you have shut it down?
I ask this as I wondered if this was then taking it's toll on the system and it would be better disconected from the power- something I never did with my desktop- but may need to do with this laptop.
Thanks in advance- Wilma

It will be interesting which speakers do you have exactly.
Anyway, exact notebook specification is not known to me but as far as I know you can connect usual PC speakers (2 speakers + 1 subwoofer) using audio out port.
Please let us know which speakers do you have exactly.
One more thing: for digital audio output notebook must have SPDIF port with optical port.

  • How to connect external speakers to Satellite A100-451

    Hello,
    I have a Satellite A100-451 (UK) running Vista. I want to connect external speakers. There is a 'headphones' jack on the front (3.5mm jack I think), can I connect external speakers here? The speakers are 'PC Line' with their own power supply and also have a 3.5mm jack plug).
    Thanks
    KK

    You need the audio Line-out put and the headphone jack provides this output.
    In other words you can use this jack to connect the external speakers

  • How to install external speakers so they work?

    Model: C875D - S7120
    Part No.: PSCBEU - 01100F
    I was given a set of Arctic S111 USB-powered speakers for my laptop, but I can't seem to get them to work. I plugged in the USB on the left side where I normally put the plug for my cooler. Nothing happened, the sound continued to play out of the internal speakers. I had no luck inserting the USB on the right side, either.
    Am I doing something wrong or are these maybe just the wrong kind of external speakers for my computer?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I see those speakers don't have a separate power supply. It could be that your USB ports do not supply sufficient power, but that seems unlikely. Special cables are available for that situation.

  • How to install wireless on a Satellite 5200-903?

    Due to a very bad virus I recovered Windows on a Satellite 5200-903 of a friendly businessman. But back home he saw: no wireless LAN could be used... It seems, that cause the WLAN-switch was "off" no WLAN-driver was installed/recovered...
    Now he wants to come to me again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - and I MUST know, how to install everything until then... he also will bring me his router, so I can configure everything for him on the notebook AND router (WPA, if possible).
    But I found TWO drivers: one was a direct download of a small file of "Agere" - wlesslan-xp-7620390.zip
    The other is from "Atheros", and the download is a links to another website "Toshiba EMEA - Wireless LAN Driver Portal" http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads , where I have to identify the WLAN adapter... But: on the first download-site (I mean BEFORE redirected to "Toshiba EMEA") there is at the list "Model" NOT any Satellite 5200.
    Which driver is correct? Are there different WLAN-adapters in the 5200-903 series? Is it possible to find out the adapter model BEFORE he gives me the Notebook?
    And in the list of drvers for the 5200-903 there was a download "WLAN hotkey" wlkey-xp-2003.zip ? Do I need that too? Do I need any other things?
    And does such an "older" WLAN-Access work in another way than the integrated WLAN of a centrino e.g. ? I just know how to log into a WLAN with newer notebooks: button "wireless networks" on the right buttom oft windows, then chose the WLAN name to connect and type in the key, if needed.
    Please help me, he lives 100 miles away from me and has not much time, he comes again to me just for that matter, and of course he was not amused when he returned home and couldn't connect to the internet... and he's an ABSOLUTE noob in technical things, so I cannot tell him how to do it on his own and need your help quickly.
    Thanks a lot!

    Hello Herb
    I just want to make the whole story short and simply. After installing OS install drivers for hardware components. According the notebook specification for Satellite 5200-903 it is WLAN ready model and I do not know which WLAN card is inside. You friend should have info about that.
    If there is Atheros WLAN card the right driver you can find HERE
    After driver installation install all Toshiba designed tools and utilities starting with COMMON MODULES. It must be installed at first. WLAN-hotkey utility is important because using FN+F8 key combination you can enable/disable WLAN card.
    WLAN software (Atheros WLAN client utility) is not necessary because for WLAN you can use WXP WLAN settings. You can use it if the WLAN card is activated properly.
    So I hope you will set WLAN properly and if you need more assistance please write again.
    Bye and good luck!

  • Need help on how to install external web cam on a macbook?????

    Hi , does anyone have any idea if you can install and use an external webcam and how to install it on a macbook 13.3 in, black, 10.4.11 with intel processor. I have tried like months and months to connect my logitech web cam with no success what so ever. I been racking my brains trying to figure it out. I even called tech support by phone and they weren't really any help. They just said it can be done. I tried downloading the drivers that came in a cd with the logitech and nothing. Every time I try and use my external logitech on a site the built in one on the macbook comes on instead. There has to be a way to bypass the built on one. I know there has to be people out there using external webcams on macbooks. Any help would be appreciated.

    I can't advise on your Logitech webcam, but I am using [this webcam|http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Dynex%26%23174%3B-+1.3MPWebcam/8703094.p?id=1199495403693&skuId=8703094]. First used on a iMac G5, OSX 10.4, then later moved to a Mac Mini OSX 10.5 (and now OSX 10.6.2 on the Mini.) I got it not because it's the best webcam, but because it was one of the few that said it worked with OSX 10.4. (Other webcams I had needed 10.5.) I have tested it on my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.5 and upgraded to 10.6) and it works, but I don't normally use it there.

  • How to Set External Speakers as Default output

    Everytime I reboot my Mac Pro, the computer defaults to the built in monitor speakers.  I have a nice set of Altec Lansing powered external speakers that I would like to use.  I have to go into system preferences and change my audio out to "Line Out" every time I want to use them.  Does anyone have a permanent solution? 

    Dunno, Brian but you could try this
    Fire up Audio MIDI, choose the default 2 channel however many bits, then Line out, then go to speakers, then test them, then click on Apply, then done. Hopefully that should fix you problem.....

  • How to install recovery image on Satellite 5200 using USB DVD drive

    Hello,
    I have this problem with a Satellite 5200-902 that has the DVD-ROM corrupt and I don't find the part to change. (model DVD: uj-810b)
    But I would like to reinstall the notebook with the CD recovery and I don't be able to enter in the BIOS for change the boot order and start with a USB DVD-ROM.
    I removed the HDD and reinstall the WXp Prof by another machine but when I restart the 5200 I read this message " errore nel caricamento del sistema operativo".
    When turn on I press F2-F10-F12 but if I select another peripheral for boot the notebook start only by network.
    Can you help me to recover this notebook by an external USB DVD-ROM?
    Thanks
    Andrea

    I have an usb floppy drive model ibm TEAC FD05pub, I think it's incompatible or the notebook don't has the power in the usb port because the led of the floppy is of.
    When I tried to press ESC + F1 in the bios I set only the date and the password but no the boot order and other function.
    I really do not know what to do and how to solve.
    I can not execute any BIOS update I can only do so because the boot from network or DVD-ROM (unfortunately broken).
    I installed the operating system by connecting the hard disk on another machine but when I go to connect to my notebook S5200 gives me error.

  • How to install Windows XP in Satellite Pro L300-1A9?

    Hi!,
    first of all, sorry if I'm asking something really obvious, but I'm quite new with this issues...also sorry for my English, I'm not native.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9 with Windows Vista preinstalled but the thing is I prefer Windows XP. I have tried to install it but it won't work.
    I have read lots of posts and comments about this issue in this forum and also in the web. The problem is I don't know if the procedure and the drivers to download are the same for all the L300 models. Mine is L300 1A9.
    Anyone could give me some extra simply instructions (I'm a beginner) about how to do solve this problem or any link relating this issue? I have seen many of them, but none about this model L300 1A9.
    Thank you very much!!

    Hi Lars_3,
    thank you very much for your reply and interest.
    When I say that installing Windows XP doesn't work, I mean that my laptop has Windows Vista but I have tried to reinitialized (format) it to install Windows XP, but when I run the Windows XP (original) disk an error message pops up and I can't continue the installation.
    I have had a look to the Toshiba's downloads link you posted, but there's no mention to the L series model. The options available are for M-Series and Net-Book series, so I wonder if it is possible to use one of them for my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 1A9?
    Thank you very much for your kind help!

  • How to install Windows 8 on Satellite C855-21W - No disk

    Hello,
    Recently the HDD from my SATELLITE C855-21W crashed. All Data wear lost.
    Serial: YC273011R
    Now i would like to reinstall Windows 8.
    But i have no CD /DVD and all partitions on the HDD are gone.
    How can i reinstall Win 8 on the Laptop again?
    Where can i get a DVD?
    Thanks

    Hi
    This is pity but HDD can always start to malfunction and therefore its advisable to create a Recovery Disk before starting to use the notebook.
    However, now you cannot create such recovery disk because the files are lost.
    Now you have two options:
    1) You can install the Windows 8 using Microsoft Win 8 disk (you will need to purchase Win 8 if you dont have it). The essential Toshiba drivers could be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page
    2) The second option is much easier: you could order the Toshiba Recovery disk from this page http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx and could set the notebook back to the factory settings.

  • No cd or dvd player on new macbook pro. how to install external software

    my new macbook pro with retina display has no dvd or cd player. how could i install any external software that comes in a cd like office for mac or any other type of software

    I purchased an external superdrive for this purpose. Apple makes one, and so do others. I suppose you could use a drive in another mac via sharing, if you have the necessary hardware. As for office, you can install that via download - that's what I did.
