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!

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.

btw: I'm sorry for my bad english

Hi
Well, sorry but I cant give you a proper answer for your question.
The fact is that the notebook screen is a expensive notebook part.
You should contact the Toshiba service partner in your country and ask him for the replacing costs.
Furthermore I have found this page where you can find the compatible screen.

Satellite 5200-903: Mini PCI Card doesn`t work

Hello,
I am a user of an:
Satellite 5200-903: P4-M 2.2/256+256 DDR/60GB/15T SXGA+/DVD-R-RW/nV FX 5600/cPad/WIFI ready/XP
My computer is equipped with an Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked wonderfull.
At the beginning of 2006 I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
I installed all driver for the W-Lan Card, obviously the card worked in the correct way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
But, and thats the reason of this topic here. It isn`t possible to connect my card to any Hot Spot. I tried it with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. "No connection Point found".
Has anyone any idea what to do or in which direction I could look for the failure? Is there maybe any special Software necessary (I couldn`t remember, that in my last installation I had needed special driver or software)
If further informations are necessary, please inform myself.
(sorry for the terrible english, but it isnt my first language.)
THX for your help

Hi,
thx for the hints. But unfortunately none of these solved my problem.
1. I checked my device Manager, it`s shown a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini Pci Card
2. The device is activated, with no problems
3. My wireless activation switch on the left notebook side is activated (led lights yellow)
4. Pushing the Fn+F8 Button results nothing
(wenn i press the combination during the Notebook switch is off - i got the message "wireless connection is deactivated, please activate")
What have to happen, when pushing the Fn+F8 Button during the wireless switch is activated? Is there any message on the screen?
Concerning the installed driver, how could I check what type of card is installed in my notebook. I know, that there a two types of driver and card existing, toshiba and atheros.
But, if the installed driver causes no problems I guess the right driver is installed.
Thx for any further Idea...

Satellite 5200-903: Problems with Fn-F5 and middle cpad button

Hi,
i updated my Win XP Home to Win XP Pro and installed all the toshiba goodies from the Homepage. Two things don't work as expected though:
* Fn-F5 doesn't cycle through the available monitors
* the middle cpad button cannot be used as a middle mouse button
Don't know why Fn-F5 doesn't work, all the other Fn-Keys work as expected. They show the OSD, too. Fn-F5 doesn't show the OSD and no function :/
About the cpad button: I tried the driver from the toshiba site and from synpatics.com
The problem is: in the control panel i can choose functions for each button. The function "middle mouse button" is available for the left and the right button, but not the middle one. And it is not recognized as middle mouse button, but as PageUp.
Any ideas? The notebook is a Satellite 5200-903.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Ataraxis
First of all I must tell you that Satellite 5200 is a great unit. If I found one that costs not much money I will buy it.
To your issues:
As far as I know if you want to use FN+F5 key combination you must install TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for Display Devices V2.1.0.0-1. I hope that this tool is installed properly. If you want you can try to install it again.
I am not 100% sure but I think that this small button in the middle has no the same function like middle button as a middle mouse button and it will be used to start sPad launcher. If you want you can check it in Users manuals. I didnt read it but I hope that there you can find a proper explanation about functionality of this small button.
Good luck!

Satellite 5200-903: cooling problem error message

few minutes after booting my Satellite 5200-903 (xp home sp1)an error message apears: "Problem with the cooling system, shut down your system and send it to the service" (it's a free translation from German..) I installed a temperature checking tool, the software shows cpu temperature of about 60C, however I do not hear the fan..
Can someone help?

Hi
You have a good chance that it's only a cooling module.
Generally such warning message appears because the CPU cooling module cannot cool the CPU properly or it doesn't work.
However, the best way is to contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. Ask the guys for the opinion and I'm sure you will get a proper answer.
Good luck

Logitech Headset 30 and Satellite 5200-903

Hello,
i want to use a logitech headset usb30, but it don't work with the Satellite 5200-903. What can i do? The operating system is Windows XP with SP2. When i connect the headset with a usb-port, it doesn't run.
Thanks for any Answer or Tip

Hello
I don`t know if there is some software that must be installed but you should check all Sounds and Audio devices properties. Please check also the Volume control if there is option mute activated.
Volume control dial at the front side of your notebook should also not be set to minimum level.

How to enter BIOS mode on Satellite 5200?

Hello!
I own a Satellite 5200-801 and Ive recently bought a new CD/DVD - rom cause the original just died. The thing is that the drive I bought is from US market and my laptop is European. So Ive double checked all the serial numbers on it and everything was correct except the manufacture serial number that I suppose makes no difference to be different.
My problem is that when I install it the light indicator flashes normal but when it boots it shoes IDE error boot and windows doesnt see it at all. Do u know how can I enter BIOS setting to change master/slave cause I believe that there is a difference among them at this point....the original is master and the second is csel.
Also is there a key to enter BIOS because I cant enter at all no matter key combinations. Finally if I change the reading head of the DVD/ROM and put back the original would make the change I need?
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!

As far as I know you cannot change anything in BIOS but check it again. To enter BIOS settings press ESC button at start up.
Good luck!

How to use wireless adapter in Satellite C660D?

Hi everyone!
Got crazy searching for the wireless adapter in Satellite C660D-164..does it have one inbuilt? or do I have to buy an external one? Can't figure out how to set up wi-fi and bluetooth. The manual is non descriptive.
Installed all the drivers form site.
Pleas help asap.

Hi
In the device manager you can find the list of all available devices.
Under Network Adapters you should find the available Wlan card.
In order to use the Wlan, you have to enable this firstly.
Use Fn + F8 in order to switch ON the Wlan.
Then you should see a small icon in the task bar (right bottom corner). Right click on this and check if you Wlan Home Network is visible.
Then insert the encryption password and usually the notebook should connect to the home Wlan.

How to install WLAN adapter in Satellite Pro A10

I am trying to set up a wireless connection with my Satellite Pro A10. I thought it was wireless enabled, but when I toggle the wireless switch, no light comes on and there is no wireless card listed under Network adaptors (so I guess not).
How easy is it to install a wireless adaptor (i.e. can I do it myself or do I need to have it done by a professional)? Can anyone recommend which card I should by (or any I should avoid)?
Thanks.

Hi
According the notebook specification your Satellite Pro A10 is WLAN ready. In notebook specification there are listed two compatible WLAN cards:
PA3212U-4MPC (Agere 802.11b) and PA3273U-2MPC (802.11a/b).
I really do not know if you can use some faster WLAN cards with standard g. Maybe you will be lucky and someone will post here WLAN card upgrade results.
I am not 100% sure where the WLAN slot is placed but check please under the cover placed nears the battery.

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.
