Laptop Toshiba Satellite 3000 - problem graphic device

Hi,
I have installed Solaris 10 on Toshiba Satellite 3000, but it was able to install resolution 640x480/60Hz only. How can change it to higher resolution?

Look into the kdmconfig command, if you're talking about the GUI that is. Solaris has a nasty habbit that if you configure XSun during the installation it'll "drop back" to the X.org server. kdmconfig can change that again if desired.

How to tell if Firewire 400 or 800? In any OS and this laptop: Toshiba Satellite A350D - BA3.

Hello.
I was wondering how someone can tell the difference between Firewire 400 and 800 in their computer and in this model of Toshiba laptop: Toshiba Satellite A350D - BA3?
If a person looked in device manager or something would it say? With Usb it says Enhanced when it is usb2 compared to usb1. I don't know what usb3 says, I don't have it.
With firewire there is large sizes and small. On my laptop it is a mini firewire and it looks like a 4-pin inside. On the toshiba.ca site, in the product specs, it only says firewire.
I am planning on buying a cord that has a large connection on one end and a small connection size at the other end. Eg: Some cables for firewire are a 4-4pin, 6-4pin, 6-6pin, 9-4pin,9-6pin,9-9pin. There are also firewire 400 to 800 adapters. I'd like to buy the right cord for an external enclosure I bought to connect to the small laptop firewire port. The enclosure is a Vantec NexStar 3, 3.5" enclosure, usb2, eSATA, Firewire a/b. It has two firewire b ports in back, but an included cord converts b-a (the a is still to big for the laptop firewire).
Does anyone know if any of the mini ports are as fast as the larger ports? Will a 9-pin firewire 800 cable converting to a mini connection go at the mini connections speed if it is only firewire 400, I don't think it can force full F800 speed?
Thanks.

No Warranty for LCD Pixel dead for a new Laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-EZ1523

Hey,
I bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro L300-EZ1523 Laptop in Oct 2009. In January 2010 My motherboard went dead so I have sent the laptop to the Toshiba Depot Center initially they said they will repair it and send it within 3 - 5 Business day but they took nearly 15 days to ship it back.
Once I have received there is the big surprise. One of the pixel on my screen is dead and I tired calling the Toshiba customer care at 1-800-457-7777 and the transfer the call to Depot center which takes nearly 40 to 50 mins to get an engineer on the call for which we need so much of patients.
Today I requested to transfer the call to the Case Manager and when I told her about the problem she again tells me to call the depot and file a case with them and the UPS for the damage and she also mentioned that there is no warranty covered for the LCD Screen.
But when I shipped the laptop to the Toshiba Depot I don't had any dead pixels. Im tired calling Toshiba can anyone help me out.
Regards,
Prem.

I got problem with my Toshiba tecra A9 laptop. There is thick black line at the corner of LCD, I contacted 2 toshiba service centers but they paased me to the Toshiba support. They said that Toshiba will not pay us for LCD repair and asked me to call toshiba support and ask for their autorisation. I also called toshiba support several times, but they just make me confused. They said randomly some bizzare phrases: the service centers should aks us for autorisation no., LCD did not coverd by warranty, You made a physical damage, contact another service center, we will contact you within this business day...
The reason I have bought Tecra model was that toshiba called it as bussiness class, and offered a 3 years limited warranty!!! But the warranty is a whole fake to cheat with the clients. They even do not care about business and dont understand how our professional life is depends to our laptop. such a shame for them.
They pay some employees to talk with you several hours, just to deny their warranty and don't give you a good service!
I wonder how they calculate the repaire cost of LCD. I already find wensite which offer the LCD just for 95$. There are lots of replacement guide all over internet. I will suggest toshiba that I can service them for LCD replacement for as low as 150$. That would be a good business for me and a big deal for toshiba! At least Toshiba will not loose their clients.
From my side, I will start to aware all student around me at university to never trust Toshiba quality and warranty services and do not risk their professional life with the toshiba product and services! It seems that Dell is going to be the leader in customer services and hence in future market!

Toshiba Satellite L870-177 graphics card change?

A question about the Toshiba Satellite L870-177
Can you replace the graphics card in the laptop?
Currently, an AMD Radeon HD 7670M, 1GB, HDMI is inside and find this a bit .... modest, so I would like to replace it with a better
is that possible? Have often read in other forums that you can not replace graphics card, so the question

To elaborate for others what you hopefully already knew about your setup.
Alot more trouble than it's worth since the GPU is name brand but frequently customized for the PC maker and even further customized for the particular chipset / cpu setup.
Tampering with those values is possible to varying degrees using purpose built LINUX distro's however the modifications are community based and anecdotal without manufacturers validation, the alterations can be damaging and Toshiba will be unsympathetic for rendering warranty assistance if they detect your alterations.
And that is why the process won't be as simple as upgrading a desktop GPU with a compatible boxed CPU.
I applaud your question and I'll spare you from elaborating why you want better graphics or which games you're unsatisfied playing since your dis-satisfaction and performance desires are uniquely your own.
Before you consider the tempting unsupported mod's I mentioned, you want to ensure your AMD's turbo is running full speed in the overclocked but unsupported manner AMD's are famous for and should determine if your games perform satisfactorily by overclocking the CPU's clock.
In respect for Toshiba, I'll avoid linking to the sites that describe overclocking AMD's since I personally find it unnecessary and the web has endless pages on the matter that you can assess yourself.
AS you suspect, overclocking assassinates your warranty but a gaming purist such as yourself already knows this and is unconcerned about warranties when striving for the best gaming experience possible.
Ask your question often enough and it will invite challenges as to why you find the card insufficient and eventually raise contemptuous advice to just live with it and tamper your expectations.
I refuse to pass judgement since your computer is yours and you're free to squeeze all the performance you can as long as you remain aware of your responsibilities when doing so.

Notebook Toshiba Satellite P10 problem!!!!

Hi!
I have a TOSHIBA notebook Satellite P10, Windows XP.
It is a new computer, not second hand!
The problem is that it shuts down itself when I connect it to the AC adapter.
The only way I can work is charging it while it is off and then using it while on battery.
The problem appeared after 20 days I bought it.
I sent it to the TOSHIBA service, they updated the BIOS, it worked perfectly for 5 hours (connected to the AC adapter) and then the same problem appeared.
Do you have any suggestions?
I am looking forward to your replies!
Christina

Dear Christina
In my opinion you should not try anything. The unit is a new one and there is valid warranty. I dont know in which country you live but inside of 14 days you can exchange your unit with a new one. Please contact your local dealer. Maybe is it possible to exchange the unit. If not, stay in contact with the service partner. Every hardware malfunction can be repaired and they should check it properly. You have paid a new product and it must work properly.
Good luck!

2 toshiba satellite laptop problems

These are my problems
1. My HDD indicator is blinking even when I do nothing ( blinks every half second or so)
2. When I go somewhere my display turns off and when I move my mouse display turns on but nothing is happening. Everything is standing still (sometimes 20 seconds, sometimes 2 or 3 minutes ) and than he is ready to work.
Upgraded BIOS to version 2.20
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate
Laptop: Toshiba Satellite A300-PSAG8E
anyone know the solutions?
Need help please! Thank you

Sounds like windows search.
Windows search provides content indexing, property caching, and search results for files, e-mail, and other content.
I used the administrative option to stop and disable it. It's reversable and can be restarted and set back to automatic.
http://windows7.iyogi.net/tips/windows-7-indexing-service
At first I thought it was the virtual memory settings causing all the hd activity (thrashing) but I noticed it was happening when the system was idle and the machine has 4gb of ram and very little of it actually used.

Satellite 3000 screen vertical line problem

my laptop is Satellite 3000 , it got vertical line problem now, i wanna use a outside CRT screen to replace the current damaged LED screen.
I have tried to use FN-F5 swap key, but it is still doesn't work, i tried to log in the system to check it, (the system (windows xp) is normal), but i can't see anything because the screen is black, it won't get in the system even if i connected it in to the LAN, because the laptop network function configuration is not allow connect with internet,( i did ghost before it completely damaged), the question is :
1, do i need to configure something so as to it can use outside screen in windows XP system? or just use FN-F5 swap key?
2, how will i do next step if i wanna use the outside screen ?
thx a lot

Hello
If the notebook is preinstalled with all Toshiba designed tools and utilities FN+F5 key combination should work. Of course the external monitor should be connected properly.
If you are missing some tools FN+F5 key combination will not work.
What I want to know is what happens exactly when you use FN+F5 key combination? Stays the LCD screen black or switch to the right picture again? As far as I know if you use FN+F5 key combination and LCD on the notebook stays black that means the signal is send to external device but if the monitor is not connected properly or there is some contact problem you will not see the content on external monitor.
Believe me it is not easy to say what is wrong there but if possible try to test it with different monitors. Satellite 3000 is pretty old notebook model and maybe is RGB port defective.

Problem with updating bios toshiba satellite l655-s5144

Hello first of all having a good day, four months ago a problem with my laptop toshiba satellite l655-5144 I have something crazy ,happens that when starting Windows 7/8 freezes there and I can not access windows, I thought it was an error of hdd, but I think I'm surprised that it is not, since changing the hdd and still gives the same problem of being paralyzed in Home windows, all this began to update the BIOS to version 2.8 that turned out to be the operating profit that was for windows 8, not sure if this is due to the problem but I've tested the ram, hdd, cpu, etc and everything about the hardware works well and gives no problems, I think that the problem was caused by updating the BIOS to version 2.8, my question is whether you can return to the factory version was 2.2, or at least the previous version to 2.8 which was the one I worked thanks for your answers and spend time helping me, is the agradesco much.
And sorry for my bad English.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and thank you for coming to see the problem I had with my laptop, that seems to fix the problem so far, I hope q not refreeze operating system again, and I could restore the BIOS to version in which was when purchased.
If anyone has the same problem as I leave then follow these steps:
1.Find BIOS version with which acquired the laptop
2. Use of mnetodo booted by CD.
3. Insert the CD from the boot.
4. Upon resumption of the program ran hidden PC (that I saw no message)
5. After restart, windows restart again and enter the bios to see if it had changed the version of this and it turned out was successful.
Well I hope this problem the laptop again, and thank you for deigning to read at least my problem.

HDMI sound problem - Toshiba Satellite L500D-149 (with ATI HD3200)

Hello,
I'm fighting with my issue for two days but I'm not able to resolve that... Maybe you will able to help me...
...I bought HDMI cable to connect my laptop to TV. I've got the video but no sound. I tried to re-install drivers -audio and video- from Toshiba, Realtek sites, also tried install AMD Catalyst (looks like ccc is not fully supported by my laptop) but no success... (maybe I've used incorrect drivers..)
...In sys tray I can see HDMI device as default so everything seems to be fine. However if I try to test HDMI device in "Control Panel/Sounds" I've got message: "Unable to play testing signal" or something like that..
...tried to find anything about Audio in BIOS but there is nothing about that.
I believe it's a driver issue but I'm not able?? to find the correct ones.
Adding few pictures how it looks like now (I have Slovak win so not all words are eng )

Old Satellite 3000-514 - Problems Opening/Energy

Hey there!
Thanks for the possibility to get support first off! :)
I got an old laptop here, a S3000-514, with a pentium III, it looks a bit like the Satellite 1200.
I tried to disasseble it with this guide for the 1200, to clean it up in the first place:
http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/Toshiba-Satellite-1200/take-apart-laptop-1.htm
1) *Solved*
I still can't find a manual online for this laptop. (which i dont really need now anymore)
2) The second problem I have is, that, as i have read other users get as well, when I start the book up with the battery pack, it still empties the battery pack and turn off then.
When removing the battery pack, I can start the book up with the "!"-Button. It doesnt work with the normal power-button. But the book then randomly turns off after 20 seconds to 5 minutes.
I appreciate any input!
Thanks in advance.
Greetings

Hi
Regarding the first question about the manual;
If you are looking the user manual then you can download it from the Toshiba support homepage. But you will not find any disassemble manuals on the Toshiba page because such docs are not for public usage!!!
Regarding the question about battery;
As I understood your message youve got some problems with the battery charging.
I dont know how old you battery is but fact is that after a longer period of time the battery loses the performance and finally it must be replaced.
My battery is about 5 years old and I can use it only for about 30sec-1min. Then the battery is empty and the notebook shuts down
Hope this helps a little bit

[Lan / Wlan Problem] Laptop Toshiba SatteliteA135-S2276

I am new to Arch Linux and still learning. My Linux Experiances are from Suse 8.3, Mandrake 7.0. Debian Sarge to now Arch Linux. Dave Crouse the owner from USALUG.org invited me Arch Linux. On my desktops I am very happy with Arch Linux now.
Now I like to get my Laptop run with Arch!
The Installation so far is done with Desktop GUI KDE! There are only some small problem left. The No. 1 is with my network.
Laptop Toshiba Satellite A135-S2276
Details Changes HD RPM 7200 80GB and 2GB PC 4200 Memorie
I am using Atheros WLan with the Wlan driver madwifi and the madwifi-util 0.9.3-1
My problem is, everytime when I change from "Wlan to Lan" or from "Lan to Wlan" I must reboot the computer for get it work.
When I plug in my network cable to the lan port and turn off the Wlan I must reboot to get Lan working. Same is when I unplug my network cable from the ethernet card and turn on my Wlan card I must reboot for get Wlan working. When I boot up with out going over the router and direct in to cabele modem and my cable modem is turned off, but then turn it on later, I can't get any internet until I reboot the Laptop.

Hey i got the same problem with my MSI-1719 Laptop. I seems the wlan-driver is dominant or something like that.
Edit: i got the problem solved with some help
You need to create some network-profiles from wich you can choose the settings for your network.
So you can switch from eth0 to wlan0 on the fly. Pretty handy
/etc/rc.conf (WARNING: this are just the changings, not the whole rc.conf)
HOSTNAME="***"
lo="lo 127.0.0.1"
#!eth0="eth0 192.168.2.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255"
#wlan0="dhcp"
INTERFACES=(lo !eth0 !wlan0)
#gateway="default gw 192.168.2.1"
#ROUTES=(gateway)
# Enable these network profiles at boot-up. These are only useful
# if you happen to need multiple network configurations (ie, laptop users)
# - set to 'menu' to present a menu during boot-up (dialog package required)
# - prefix an entry with a ! to disable it
# Network profiles are found in /etc/network-profiles
NET_PROFILES=(!menu eth0 !eth0-dhcp !wlan0-dhcp)
and now add the profiles in /etc/network-profiles
/etc/network-profiles/eth0-dhcp
# Network Profile
DESCRIPTION="eth0 dhcp"
# Network Settings
INTERFACE=eth0
HOSTNAME=***
# Interface Settings (use IFOPTS="dhcp" for DHCP)
IFOPTS="dhcp"
for example.
or for static ip you change the IFOPT="dhcp" to
IFOPTS="192.168.2.101 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255"
GATEWAY=192.168.2.1
shure you can do the same for wlan0
to change the network just edit the /etc/rc.conf and just move the "!" from eth0 to wlan0 in line "NET_PROFILES" and restart the network with
(sudo) /etc/rc.d/network restart

No sound after installing XP on my second hand toshiba satellite.

Good day to you,
I have bought a second hand Laptop ,(Toshiba Satellite Modelnr SA 30-404 PSA30E-1kVSE-6K) Windows XP home was installed and was functioning. Now I have installed Windows XP PRO Sp2 and Office 2007. The problem is that there is no sound anymore. In the device-list there are yellow Questionmarks for Multimedia-audiocontroller (Location PCI socket 0, device 31, function 5), PCI-modem(Location PCI socket 0, device 31,function 6) ,Videocontroller(Location PCI socket0 device 2 function 1) and Videocontroller(VGA-compatibel)( Location PCI socket 0, device 2 ,Function 0). I can not find the brand of the devices ,so I can not instal the drivers .The automatic search on internet did not help.
I think I have to download drivers someware ,but my laptop is not in any list(anymore ?)
What to do ?

In case things don't work right, it's probably because the order of installation matters. I have attached the recommended order.

Can't start X with Toshiba Satellite L850-1L1, Ati Radeon 7600M Series

I did a fresh install on my new laptop Toshiba Satellite L850-1L1 following the beginners' guide.
I am able to boot only with nomodeset in the kernel options.
Then I can't startx. It hangs after "loading extension GLX".
Instead of nomodeset, I tried as suggested in other posts vga=733 or vga=ask oracpi_backlight=vendor or video=SVIDEO-1:d
The most I can get is a blind login. This time startx displays something (not understandable) and the system does not hang (I can switch to another console).
As suggested in the guide I post some information:
$ wgetpaste ~/.xinitrc
File does not exist
$ wgetpaste /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Have you had any luck with the proprietary driver (Catalyst)?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/AMD_Catalyst
I tried, but the guide is out of date:
This article or section is out of date.
Reason: catalyst-utils is not anymore in the official repositories. Possibly one has to install catalyst-total from aur to get the same, but I'm not sure
And installing from AUR and having to rebuild at every kernel update is a nightmare.
Maybe the only chance is trying to install directly from AMD.
I'm using Arch since 5 years on a laptop with Nvidia graphic card, that died last week. I didn't know that ATI was so problematic with Linux.
Hope to find a fix, otherwise I have to switch to another Linux distribution, and I really don't want to
