Satellite M55-S139 Laptop : Annoying Music After Keyboard Inactivity

I have a Toshiba M55-S139 laptop. When it is turned on and there has been no keyboard activity for 5 minutes, the screen changes to a Toshiba screen, and music plays. When I then hit any key, it takes me to with Windows log-in screen where I have to type my password again.
How can I turn off this annoying feature ? I have looked through the User's Manual, Windows set -up, etc. and can't find anything
Solved!

It's a screen saver, Rolf.
Open Display in Control Panel. On the Screen Saver tab, set it to (None) and OK out.

Unable to Restore Windows XP on Satellite M55-S139

I installed Ubuntu on my Windows XP on Satellite M55-S139. I didn't like it so I'm trying to run the Recovery disk. I put it in the computer and the process starts. it says it's going to erase my hard drive and replace it with the original default system install. I elect to continue. I watch the progress bar as it copies all the files. The restore completes and it tells me to remove the disk. Then I just keep getting the Toshiba screen it turns black and then comes back on again but never boots up.
I've run the recovery disk 4 times. One time it asked me if I wanted to remove the partitions and I said yes.
Why does it always say starting Windows 98 when I run this disk?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I did a lot of searching and most of the proposed solutions require a Windows installation CD.
My computer did not come with Windows XP installation CD, it just came with a Toshiba Recovery CD, which is not the same thing. And I could not create a Boot Disk because my laptop doesn't have a floppy drive.
I finally figured out how to remove Ubuntu from my computer and get it to boot in Windows XP.
You need a free program called MbrFix. To use it, You must log in as administrator in Windows Safe Mode.
Start your computer.
Arrow down to Windows
Hit Enter and tap the F8 key immediately.
Log in as administrator.
Open your browser and go to:
http://www.sysint.no/products/Downlo...S/Default.aspx
Download MbrFix. If you can't find it, Google MbrFix, as it's available at cnet.com and other sites.
Then extract the contents to C:\
Go to Start, click on Run and type 'command'
This will open a terminal.
Type 'cd\'
You will get a C:\> prompt
Enter: MbrFix /drive 0 fixmbr /yes
Now the GRUB menu will be gone and you will automatically boot into Windows.
Next:
Delete Ubuntu partition(s) by going to to the Control Panel>Computer Management>Disk Management
Reallocate the empty space to back to C drive.
Done!

Satellite A200-27R Integrated microphone for Voice over IP

The product description (see excerpt below) for a Satellite A200-27R states that the A200-27R has an Integrated microphone for Voice over IP. I have not been able to access this(e.g. with Skype, Live Messenger, Control Panel) nor is there any sign of it externally on the computer. The Control Panel > Sound > Recording tab says Microphone Realtek High Definition Audio not plugged in.
How do I set up and use the Integrated microphone for voice over IP?

integrated microphone for Voice over IP

Hi
The built-in microphone depends on the webcam.
As far as I know the Satellite A200-27R PSAE3E was not equipped with internal webcam and therefore the internal mic is not available.
Try to use an external headset with mic or only the single mic.

Satellite M55 -The CD-rom got un-installed suddenly

Hi all,
I've got a Toshiba notebook - Satellite M55 5325 and been using it for couple of years and found it working quite good so far.
Just few days ago, there was some problem with the CD-rom with the symptoms as follows:
- I don't see the DVD/CD drive when opening My Computer
- When I opened the Computer Management/ Device Manager I found a question mark under DVD/CD rom drives
- After trying to uninstall the current drive for DVD/CD rom and let the computer re-install it automatically, I found a message reading: +Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)+
I did try to search around for the drive online but found no results...
Have some of you ever experienced this problem before and could you just help me out with it please?

How to install Vista display driver on my Satellite M55?

Hello
I have Windows Vista on my laptop Satellite M55 but I cannot instal my display driver :(
How can I install display driver on Vista?
Vista knows Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Chipset Family (Microsoft Corporation - XDDM)
I wanna instal my graphic card on Vista OS
Pleas help me
Thnx

Hi!
Sorry but you will not get drivers for this Intel chipset and Vista.
I searched on the Toshiba and Intel website and there are no drivers for Vista available. So must use Windows XP, there is no support or drivers for this chipset and Vista.

Need help restoring my Satellite M55-S1001 to "out-of-box" state...

I want to restore my pc to it's original state just like when I first bought it.
How do I do it? Please help. It's a Satellite M55-S1001, thanks.

If you have the factory restore disks, that is how you do it. Put the first disk into your CD drive, shut down your computer completely, and then power back on. I am not familiar with your model, but on many Toshiba computers you hold down the "C" key or "F12" to get the computer to boot from the CD instead of the HDD (there is usually a piece of paper in the disk pack with the instructions for that model. Once started, just follow the on-screen instructions. Depending on your system, it takes 20-30 minutes to reformat the HDD and reinstall Windows.
The process will truly reset the PC to the factory state, meaning that ALL your software and ALL your personal files will be gone. Forever. Back them up before you start the restore!!!

Satellite M55 is extremely slow

Hi everyone,
I need some help with the following:
I own a *Toshiba Satellite M55*. I bought it some years ago and so far it was working great, but recently (ever since 3 days ago),
it's been working really SLOW, with the loading screen staying for about 5 minutes and things as such.
Spyware has nothing to do with this, as I re-booted it yesterday (and even the OS installation took me like 3 hours!!). The laptop is completely clean, software-wise. So, that leads me to think my problem is in the Hardware but I don't really know.
Help needed!
Regards

Hi!
I think the problem is caused by the HDD so backup your data first as xaver said.
To make sure that the HDD is faulty, you can test the HDD with a special tool.
http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/download.htm#DFT
With the Drive Fitness Test you can test your HDD. Download the CD image, burn it on a CD and boot from it. Then you can the HDD.
On the same website is a user guide if you want to know more.

Satellite M55-s3293 won't load windows xp

my Satellite M55-s3293 won't load windows xp. I press the power button, the fan runs for a few seconds, than I see the toshiba screen and it freezes. I get a message to press f2 to enter setup, f12 for boot device selection menu. I've gone into both menu's, to no avail.
If I wait for a minute or so, I get a message saying that windows did not start sucessfully . I have options to start in safe mod, last known good config, or normally. I've tried each of those selections, but get the same frozen toshiba screen with message to select f2 or f12. my cd drive will not open to allow me to try a recovery disk.
Do you have any suggestions for me please.
Thanks
Just tried f8 during startup and got tech info:
stop: 0x00000024 (0x00190203, 0x86efa828, 0xc0000102, 0x00000000)

Hello Jane and welcome in Toshiba forum
After reading your posting I must say that best and easiest solution for you is to reinstall operating system using original Toshiba recovery DVD. This DVD contains operating system, all necessary drivers, Toshiba specific tools and utilities. After recovery image installation you will have out-of-box state and clean preinstalled OS.
Yes, this should fix your problem. Please note: when you do this all saved data will be deleted.
Do you have some important data saved on your notebook?
If not use this disc reinstall Vista and everything should be ok again.

Which Microphone for New Mid 2011 Macbook Air 13"

Please recommend a few USB condensor microphones for voice/vocal recordings that is sure to work with the New Mid 2011 Macbook Air.
My 3.5mm to USB adapters that work on my 2009 Macbook Pro with Leopard OS, no longer works with Lion OS
Ill be using this with GarageBand, iMovie & Audacity. Previously I'd use my Azden SMX-10 with the adapter. (the Azden is also used with my Canon DSLR).
Thanks in advance.

It is entirely possible, as many have known from day one (as ifixit's first teardown revealed). Unlike the unupgradeable memory, the SSD is a discrete expansion card that is removeable with just one screw, after removing the case cover. It is however debateable as to whether such an expansion is worth the possible risk of making demonstrable changes to the MBA whilst still under warranty. So you may want to stave off consideration for a while.
I made the upgrade recently on my older 2010 MBA, and it was easier than upgrading the HDD on my old MacBook Pro.
Here OWC/Mac Sales has kits and instruction videos.

How do I tune TCP SYN resend/retransmit rate for satellite?

On a satellite internet connection MacOSX (and, I believe, iPhones) have excessively aggressive SYN resend timing.
The existing settings make iTunes and SSL based services (banking, email etc) unreliable and often unworkable.
Plain HTTP (most web browsing) gives the appearance of working because browsers quietly retry.
I have been unable to find a setting in Preferences or sysctl to adjust this. And of course there's nothing useful on an iPhone. It would be helpful if there was some switch for "satellite" or "high latency" networks.
Summary:
When combined with the (common) TCP accelleration in a satellite modem, TCP connections from a Mac over satellite often get reset right at the start when the connection is commencing because of a race condition between the modem's stateful connection proxying and MacOSX's excessively rapid SYN resends.
Workaround:
Running a proxy between the Mac and the modem (in our case, in our firewall) where the proxy runs on a more conventional machine with much slower (normal) SYN resend times seems to work around the issue by making the Mac's connection to the proxy, and the proxy's connection over the satellite connection. Because the proxy's host has better TCP behaviour, the connections succeed.
Detailed problem description and explaination:
At times, SSL connections (HTTPS, POP3S, IMAPS) and other connections receive a batch of RST packets just after setup, leading to connection refused or connection reset by peer. Depending on the app, you get an assortment of errors messages of varying vagueness. iTunes is especailly useless here, just saying an unknown error occurred.
For something that reports the OS-level error you get message like this:
socket error ([Errno 54] Connection reset by peer)
Generally, if the connection succeeds it will stay up. The failure occurs at connection setup time.
From running tcpdumps on my firewall when this is happening, the behaviour is as follows:
For background to understand what follows: a TCP connection is established by you sending a SYN (synchronise) packet to the far end. The far end replies with a SYN/ACK acknowledging the connection. You then send an ACK ackowledging receipt of the SYN/ACK. And then you send and receive data packets.
A successful connection looks like this (you may need to make your window rather wide):
16:47:47.896426 172.16.3.7.50142 > X.X.X..995: S 2233798023:2233798023(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 4,nop,nop,timestamp 1306458055 0,sackOK,eol> (DF)
16:47:48.597903 172.16.3.7.50142 > X.X.X.X.995: S 2233798023:2233798023(0) win 65535 <mss 1460,nop,wscale 4,nop,nop,timestamp 1306458755 0,sackOK,eol> (DF)

So: the normal SYN, a duplicate SYN 701ms later (much too early), a SYN/ACK from the far end and an ACK for that from this end. And then normal traffic.

A normal SYN, which gets repeated 703ms later, then 302ms after that, then 301ms later, then 302ms later. Then a SYN/ACK from the far end 2097 milliseconds after the first SYN. Then yet another repeated SYN from our end 303ms after the last SYN, then immediately an RST. Our ACK follows (probably already dispatched by the Mac before the RST, but arriving at the firewall just after the RST) and a PUSH with the first data. Two more immediate RSTs come back, presumably for each of these data packets.
By comparison, our BSD firewall resends the first SYN 6 seconds after the original, then even slower. Comparsed to 600-700ms, then every 300ms from the Mac. The Mac's resends interact very badly with sat modem TCP acceleration and sat latency.
There seem to be a few things going on here:
Firstly, something is sending too many SYN packets. There is no need to send repeated SYNs every 300ms. Certainly the best round trip latency over a satellite is about 700ms. The coincidence of the satellite latency and the first resend time probably exacerbates things.
Secondly, sending a SYN _after_ the far end's SYN/ACK has come back seems to elicit an RST packet. I think this is because the modem has established state for the connection because it has seen the far end's reply, and is rejecting what it now thinks is an attempt to set up a new connection using the same ports (forbidden).
Third, this happens more at times of congestion, because the SYN/ACK takes a little longer to come back.
Fourth, the immediacy of the RST packets seems to suggest the RSTs are coming from the modem. So it is probably doing TCP accelleration, and that is producing the RSTs.
There are two problems here:
Up front, the Mac is producing SYNs too often when starting a connection. This exacerbates the problem into something that happens frequently (when it happens at all). This may be TCP "fast mode", but regardless I cannot seem to turn it off.
Second, one could argue that that modem is being overly strict about rejecting the extra SYN. Probably better to pass it through to the far end and let that decide whether to RST it. The modem is doing TCP accelleration (which is fine – it permits better behaviour once the connection is established) but is considering the connection "established" too early. It seems to do it on seeing the SYN/ACK, instead of waiting to see the third packet (the ACK).
I also suspect this happens with plain HTTP as well, but that browsers hide it by retrying connections. The modem is not going to get fixed.
While I think I'm working around this in my firewall now by diverting all outbound satellite connections through a proxy, many users will not have that option, nor any ability to diagnose the issue. They'll just see "Macs don't work on satellite". I'm not alone; there is a scattering of posts on Whirlpool recounting similar symptoms on satellite with Macs.

Hi Peter,
Simultaneous scanning attacks can be achived when the attack is launched with a botnet. At that moment "n" number of systems are launching attack without their knowledge.

Is this BIOS correct for Satellite A100-SP2022 PSAA5U?

I want to update the bios of my Satellite A100-SP2022 (PSAA5U-02G00G) with windows XP SP2 Spanish, because Im installing windows Vista (dual boot XP/Vista).
The question is, if this BIOS file is correct for update in my notebook?

I have download the file of Toshiba USA website, because my model doesn't exist in the Toshibas supports sites, but exist similar models (example: Satellite A105-S2194 - USA model - ).
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon
According the notebook description you must be from Venezuela. Am I right? ;)
I really do not know if there is Toshiba some support page for South America but few guys from there have had the same problem like you. I can not say for sure if you can use BIOS update from US support site. I recommend you to call Authorized service partner in your country. They work with this stuff and I am 100% sure they will be able to give you right info.
The addresses and phone numbers you can find under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true

What's new in the BIOS Update v2.00 for Satellite L505-144

What's new in the BIOS Update v2.00 for Satellite l505-144
Thanks

Hi mate
As far as I know Toshiba European driver page does not provide any details what has been changed in the BIOS.
But I found some details on Toshiba US page.
It seems that Fn+N+1/2/3/4 debug function has been removed in BIOS 2.0 to avoid keyboard abnormal behavior.
