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

Keyboard Issues on Satellite A505-S6973

Goodday again everyone,
Can anyone tell me if the onboard keypad on my Satellite A505-S6973 has a backlight.
I'm watching alot of these new laptops and similar to mine, under the keypad it's white and I'm not sure if it's like that because it's supposed to light. If so, can anyone tell me.

On Toshiba US support page I have checked notebook specification and obviously your notebook doesnt have this illuminated keyboard.
Just for info: all illuminated keyboards have FN+Z option for enabling/disabling illumination.
With other words small keyboard symbol will be placed on Z key.
This option, when illuminated keyboard is in the notebook, is also available in Toshiba HWSetup tool.

Please help me to sort out this issue

Hi,
I have two user MAIN_USER and TMP_USER both have DBA,CONNECT,RESOURCE privileges.
While I am creating the below procedure in MAIN_USER, I am getting the error ‘ORA-00942: table or view does not exist’ in the insert statement line FROM TMP_USER.PROD_MASTER.
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE MAST_UPLOAD IS
BEGIN
INSERT INTO PROD_MAST
(SELECT *
FROM TMP_USER.PROD_MASTER);
END;
Please help me to sort out this issue.
Thanks,
Jen.

If the code works for TMP_USER but not for MAIN_USER, then the privileges are not the same. I'm assuming DBA,CONNECT,RESOURCE are roles. Roles are not the only thing that can be assigned to users. Users can have the same roles, but access to different objects. In this case, it looks like one user has access to the table, and the other doesn't.

Satellite A505-S6973 and OS Upgrade

Fellow toshiba laptop users,
I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has the touchpad and quickplay buttons and I was wondering if I were to upgrade my pc to Windows 7 would i be able to use all these features (plus eco utility and pc health monitor).
I ask this question because currently my pc has, what is supposed to be a 500Gb harddisk, 317 GB hard disk space available but i barely have information or documents stored on my system. I can understand i have programs installed but still to occupy that amount.
So, long story short, if i were to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and i installed the toshibha value added package and eco utility programs would that be all I would need to dload and install because i like this pc.
Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can the feel the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slow and the temperature on my system is always high, currently FAN SPEED 90% and CPU TEMPERATURE 64%, and I hav my system configured to use low power.
I appreciated any and all comments, suggestions and advice...

I don't have US notebook model and cannot answer to your second question but I know for sure that Win7 works well on Satellite A500.
Two months ago I had friends Satellite A500 at home. Originally it was preinstalled with Vista.
I made two experiments to see how it works with Win7. At first I have upgraded it with Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
With clean OS installation everything was OK too.
Before you start Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to be sure which version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64bit is fully supported.

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.

hi,
i have mac book 4,1 mac OS X 10.5.8
when i open iTunes i can't open, it's requied quicktime 7.5.5 so woh can i sort out this

QuickTime 7.5.5 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/DL27
QuickTime 7.7 for Leopard - http://support.apple.com/kb/dl761
= New version of Quicktime installed but application reports it needs to have that version installed =
Open Application > Utilities > System Profiler and check the Quicktime version in Frameworks vs. the version in Applications. One person had re-installed their operating system. It had kept the newer Player application but had reverted to an earlier version of the underlying support framework files which many applications utilize. Re-installing Quicktime 7.7 took care of the problem. Do this manually, not with Software Update.
Installation get stuck at "configuring installation" - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2592979?threadID=2592979 - uninstall Quicktime before installing.

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 two different hierarchies in one dimension

Does anyone know of a way to sort two different hierarchies in one dimension and still make drilling work correctly? We have two hierarchies in our item dimension; one called category and the other origin. Simplified, it looks like this:
CATEGORY
Hardware (100)
..PCs (100.100)
....PC 1
....PC 2
....PC 3
..Monitors (100.200)
....Monitor 1
....Monitor 2
....Monitor 3
Software (200)
..Big (200.100)
....ERP package
....CRM package
..Small (200.200)
....Solitaire
....Mine Sweeper
ORIGIN
Vendor A (10)
..Site A1 (10.10)
....ERP package
..Site A2 (10.20)
....PC 1
....Monitor 3
Vendor B (20)
..Site B1 (20.10)
....PC 2
....PC 3
....Monitor 1
....Monitor 2
....Solitaire
....Mine Sweeper
..Site B2 (20.20)
....CRM package
We have numeric codes at each level above item which I represents the sort order (the number in parentheses at each level), and the items themselves should be sorted according to item number. I have implemented this (level code/item number) as an attribute in AWM making this the default sort order. However, as item is the lowest level in each hierarchy, I have only been able to list the items under the correct level in one hierarchy. As soon as I drill using the other hierarchy, the levels above item are sorted correctly, but the items appear at very odd places...
The AWM documentation states that if default order is not selected on any attribute, hierarchies are sorted in the order they are created. Is there a way to control this order?
Any input will be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
thank you for your answer. Yes, now I also find the class CL_SALV_WD_MULTI_CELL_EDITOR which could be used to set different UIE in one cell. But it is quite limited, just the following UIE could be used

Satellite A505-S6973 - OS Upgrade

Hi all,
I'm curious to find out has anyone attempted to upgrade their A505-S6973 satellite series laptop with windows vista home premium x64 chipset to windows 7 ultimate x64.
I'm asking because i'd like to know if their any compatibility issues, can the system accomodate the installation and with the tvap and eco utilities do they work.
I have to upgrade my system but i want to do a clean installation and wipe my drive means i'll loose all drivers so i'm hoping it's been done and the drivers are easy to locate for re-installation.
Thanks for any and all suggestions, much appreciated.

Satellite A505-S6973 - No sound of my laptop speakers

I own an A505-S6973 and today i lost volume on my speakers. When i jack in my headphones i get sound but without the headphones plugged in, I get no sound of my laptop speakers.
I checked device manager for software problems but everything is cleared, also, my volume is fully on.
I attempted a restore, but was unsuccessful, also i tried to uninstall and reinstall value added package but when attempting to launch the software after extracting it an error[0x8146045B] signals itself.
This morning everything seemed to work fine, the only thing i can think of, i removed windows media my network places sharing.
If this is the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re-install it. Also, the value added package issue, is there anything that can be done, because the buttong to enable/disable touchpad when depress nothing happens but if i use the function key with F9 it enables/disables.
I really hope someone can help me, it seems this is an unlucky weekend for me.

As I see, the VAP utility makes problems. The next step I advise you to do a little bit dangerous as you have to remove some elements in registry, but before
1. Make the ,,Hidden Folders,, to be seen. (Control Panel- Appearance and Personalization-Folder Options (click the , show hidden files,, and then choose ,, Show hidden files, folders,, and Apply)
2 Go to C:\Users\, here you should choose your profile name, in my case it ,, jeka,, \AppData\Local\temp\TC20020600B.temp\ Here you should see TVAP folder, remove it completely
3 Run the ,,regedit,, that found in Windows folder. Choose ,, Edit,, -,,Find,, and type in ,,toshiba value added,, In left Column you will see highlighted folder with value like 8FFFC660FB2109346A37579FE5FF81E8, delete it. restart computer.
Then, start Tvap exe, it should work now. But you should be careful working with registry, don't delete anything other

IT 15: How to find out different cost assignment specifications

Hello,
in the infotype 0015 (Additional Payments) it's possible to to define different cost assignment specifications (for example a different cost center than defined in IT0001). I already found out, that you can select those datasets with a special cost assignment specification by filtering the flag on the field PA0015-REFEX.
What I didn't find out is, where I can select the cost center (or in general: the CO object), that was defined for that dataset? Is there a special table?
Thanks for your help.
Regards, Lulzim

Hi Lulzim,
The cost assignments are stored in ASSHR / ASSOB and PDSNR tables..
Get PDSNR key from ASSHR table (Infotype 15) .. get details from ASSOB and PDSNR table
Please kindly close the thread by allocating points if this resolves your issue..

How to sort out your problems with the os 4 upgrade.

I'm in the UK, and I am an Orange customer. I have just been in contact with an amazing guy called Lee, who has sorted my problem for me. His advice.......
go into
Settings, general, scroll down to bottom of the screen to Reset, and tap on it.
Go to 3rd option, Reset Network Settings and tap on it, a red box will appear, tap to accept. Screen will close and Apple logo will appear, LEAVE to power up on its own, and re-enter your wi-fi connection password information.
If this fails to cure your problem, Connect your iphone to a different computer,
When your iphone shows up in itunes, click on it and do a RESTORE WITHOUT BACKUP, leave until your phone has restored and then plug into your own computer. You can now back up from your own computer information
Hope this solves our problems
