P20-102 Satellite - Remote Receiver not working after running recovery CD

Hi,
I'm running Windows Media Center Edition and on my P20-102 Satellite notebook.
I recently needed to run the recovery CD, the process went fine except that my external remote receiver box supplied with my notebook no longer works.
The box was working with XP Media Center Edition and the remote before I ran the recovery CD. The receiver is detected and installed on machine when plugged in and recognised in Device Manager as a USB Serial Converter. The light inside blinks about 4 seconds. When pressing a button on the remote the light lights up both in the receiver box and on the remote so it's receiving the signal.
I guess this a software problem, I can't find any information about installation of the receiver or any drivers for it.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Paul

I eventually spoke with someone who didn't sound like he knew what the answer was but told me update the BIOS - how was this going to help? It turned out I had the same version installed anyway. My remote receiver worked on day 1 with the same BIOS software on it.
I was also advised to install the chipset driver, again this was already installed - still not impressed!
Anyone have any ideas?

Satellite L450D Webcam not working after new installation without recovery

Hi there,
as posted in the thread title I have a problem with the integrated webcam of a customer notebook. Two days ago the operating system of this laptop was damaged by a virus and needed to be re-installed. I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
The only thing that worked was a clean install with a windows 7 64 Bit retail dvd and the key printed on the sticker of the laptop. I managed to get everything working again except one part - the webcam.
No driver installation, bios update and re-installation worked to get this part to work.
Did anyone of you know this problem and have a fix for me?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings Saphire
P.S.: One thing shall be also important. When I look into the installed devices manager the driver for the webcam is listed as usb webcam and the manufaturer of it is Microsoft.

Hi
I dont think that this needs to be fixed because I dont think its hardware related issue.
I think there is something wrong with the software on your notebook.
I mean everything worked perfectly until virus has damage the OS. Right?
You said this:
>I tried to install it with the recovery partition, which did not work. After it I tried to re-built it with the dvd I burned from the recovery partition with the same result.
I really wonder why you could not get this working using Recovery disk.
So possibly this is the key to this issue
On the Toshiba European driver page I could find Registry Patch v1.1 For Win 7 64bit
Also webcam driver v 1.1.1.4 is available there
I think the OS is responsible for your issue possibly some patches are applied or similar

Satellite L350D - WLAN not working after recovery disk

Hello there
I just got a L350D. I ran the Recovery Disk tool, without any other programm running. It was on a good way of finishing the second disk and than: BAM! blue screen. Since the start up, my LAN and WLAN is not working.
It always says "WLAN 2.0 bg Adapter" to which no driver is found. The correct driver is a Realtek for both WLAN and LAN.
Do you think the crash busted the WLAN and LAN module?
Things i tried:
System reset
Driver reinstall
but nothing worked.
Has anyone any hints?
Thanks a lot!

Hi!
I dont know what the reason is for this BSOD during the installation but can you post the BSOD code? So you can search on the Microsoft Knowledge Base for this code.
Furthermore I would try to update the BIOS of your notebook that you can find on the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
After you have updated the BIOS try to update the driver of WLAN and LAN card or try to reinstall Windows again using the Toshiba recovery disk.
Bye

Satellite M100 sound not working after installing Windows 7

Everything else is working after this upgrade except the sound. Have tried everything. Any suggestions?
Many Thanks.
Rory

Hi,
For me the case is clear: Windows 7 is not the market as yet and its not released as yet. So I think this is the problem.
Anyway, have you tried to install the driver from the Toshiba website? There you can also find the Synaptics driver. Its for Vista but normally the drivers for Vista are also work in Windows 7. Its worth a try.

Have you tried the key combination FN+F9? So you can enable and disable the touchpad but I doubt that this works. Normally you need the Toshiba utility for this

USB Keyboard not working after running Monolingual

Okay, I'm not a Mac person and should have known that I was going to mess up my mother's iMac, but here it is -
In an attempt to improve the mac's performance I performed all of the actions described in the following article: 11 Ways to Optimize your Mac's Performance ( http://lowendmac.com/eubanks/07/0312.html ). Basically, I cleaned up files and 'other' system preferences. Things seemed to be fine and the computer did run much better. However, after running Monolingual and deleting what I understood to be 'unnecessary' PowerPC files the standard USB keyboard is no longer working.
I've tried to search for various remedies, but have come to a dead end. So I'm left with reinstalling the Snow Leopard OS (I think it is 10.6.8?) BUT I can't because it is asking to input the account password (which I know) to make the change and I can't figure how to do that when the keyboard not working.
Any help would be great!
*feeling like a bone head*

How are you trying to reinstall Snow Leopard? If you're booting from the Snow Leopard or iMac Install DVD that came with the system then that should eliminate any of the issues you may or may not have caused when you deleted did the clean up work on your mom's system.
I suggest trying the following:
0) Verify that the caps lock key is off. It can make inputting passwords difficult if you don't realize it is ON.
1) Reset the PRAM by restarting the system then quickly press the command-option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears. Wait until you hear the computer restarts two times as indicated by the startup chime. For more info refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379.
2) If the issue persists after the PRAM reset then boot from the Snow Leopard or iMac Install DVD, whichever you have. Once you see the menu asking you to choose a language try using the arrow keys on the keyboard to move the language choice selection. If the arrow keys are working at this point it indicates your keyboard is at least partially functional. Go ahead and select the language then proceed to step 3.
3) Once the next screen appears move the cursor up to the menu bar area and pull down the Utilities menu. Select the 'Terminal' application. Once the Terminal application launches try typing the various keys on the keyboard and check to see if the correct characters are displayed. Please let us know if you detect any errors. If there are no errors then you should be able to quit the Terminal application and proceed with reintstalling the OS.

Boot Camp will not work after installing recovery disk

I purchased a refurbished Macbook Pro 2012. I went ahead and installed dual ssds and used the Mac OS X recovery disk from USB flash drive. I wanted to install WIndows 7 through bootcamp. Bootcamp will not start after selecting continue. I'm not sure if boot camp is corrupted or something I did wrong.

Well you'll need to see if that remote app has an update or if it is compatible with IOS 7.
since you didn't state which remote app your using.

Satellite A100 - USB not working after XP installation

Hi Guys
I am reloading Satellite A100 PSAA9A OCV004 for a friend he has lost the disks so I have loaded a legal copy of XP home everything going well so far but I can't get the USB working any ideas?
Tnx Mick.

Hi Mick,
Have you installed new Service Pack 3 for Windows XP? This is important because it contains many important updates.
After Service Pack 3 installation you can start with driver installation. Everything you can download on Toshiba website.
Its also important that you install the chipset driver.

Apple Remote is not working after upgrading to Yosemite

Hey there,
I've been using the Apple Remote with my Mac Mini Late 2012 lots of times when I had OS X Mountain Lion & OS X Mavericks,
I've upgraded to OSX Yosemite about a week and a half ago (on the day it was released) and since then, When I enter "System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General -> Advanced " it doesn't show me the "Pair" and "Un Pair" buttons, as I said I've used this remote lots of times before upgrading and there was
a "Pair" button there for sure, the Apple Instructions says it's in the same place on Yosemite but it isn't here
What is the problem? ;(
Please take care, that's one of my main uses on my Mac!
Thanks, Best Regards
-Nadav.

I have found a solution!
After an hour searching for a solution online, I have found one.

Re: Satellite L650D LAN not working after Win7 reinstallation

Hello friends
i have a big problem with my notebook
I just reinstalled the windows 7 home premium and now i cant access to internet
There is an unknown device in my device manager
I have downloaded many drivers but non is working for LAN.
Waiting for kind replies.
Toshiba Satellite L650D System Unit.
Model No: PSK1SA-03E014

>... but i have a product key with my notebook a label containing windows 7 home premium product key.
Unfortunately this key is useless and you cannot use it for own OS activation. This key belongs to original preinstalled OS.
In my opinion you should now waste your time waiting for someone who can help. Contact nearest Toshiba service provider and order original Toshiba recovery disc. It costs a bit but you will have original OS and you can use this disc for OS installation anytime if something goes wrong with your OS.

Kim, a Restore point should have automatically been made by Windows BEFORE processing the update. You should run System Restore using that restore point and then HIDE that update so that it isn't ever installed again.

Remote not working after Leopard update

I've read about, and have the problems reported with Front Row when it comes to viewing content on another (TV) screen, but does anyone share my problem about the remote control not working at all?
This morning before I upgraded to Leopard it worked fine, but since then, no matter which button I press, nothing happens at all.
I've to launch Front Row manually, either by launching the new app, or the CMD Esc command, but the 'Menu' button on the remote doesn't do anything.
It certainly isn't an issue with the remote as my iPod still responds to the commands when it is sat in the iPod Dock that has the remote receiver on it.

To provide closure on this thread, I now have it working!
Got all the ideas from the iSight thread listed above, here's what I did.
Firstly, shut down the computer, disconnected everything from the back of it, gave it a dust around the back of the iMac, blew out the cobwebs so to speak.
Left it ten minutes, made myself a drink.
Returned and restarted the computer, but applying the reset PRAM command, which is after switching on immediately hold down the Command, Option, P and R keys.
You'll hear a second chime, release the keyboard and the computer will boot up.
Once everything had loaded, I launched iSight and lo and behold, there was my ugly mug staring back at me, iSight was once again working.
I then proceeded to the System Preferences to see if I could get the remote working. There was the IR instructions at last including details on how to pair the remote.
Pointing my remote to the screen I held down the Menu and Next/FFWD button until a chain and the remote symbol appeared on the screen.
With my remote paired with my iMac, everything was finally working again after two days of installing Leopard, Tiger and the Leopard again!
Now Apple, how about sorting out Front Row working properly when pictures are DV'd out to a TV!??

Remote does not work correctly after update

Hello,
the subject explain it already:
After upgrading to 2.3 the apple remote does not work correctly anymore:
I need to push the buttons twice, and than atv is only reacting sometimes.
Any ideas?
BR
Frank

Same problem here. First, I thought it was the Apple remote's battery. I replaced that and the problem persisted. I then used my digital video camera to verify that the remote was actually transmitting infrared, it was. In frustration, I tapped the buttons rapidly while pointing at the Apple TV. The Apple TV responded. The next button press it failed to respond. I tapped rapidly again and it finally responded. After many many rapid presses, while pointing directly at the Apple TV, it finally began responding to all presses. Once I'd regained control (I thought) I unpaired and re-paired the remote. Everything continued to work. At that time I also saw that I could "learn" another remote. So, I set up my Samsung TV remote. Sweet. Until the Apple TV went into screensaver mode again and I had to go through the same rapid button press sequence... with either the Apple remote or my learned Samsung remote. Conclusion, since the Apple TV will become fully responsive after the rapid button press sequence, it is certainly a software related problem.

Satellite L870-165 does not work after being repaired by their service

Laptop Toshiba warranty does not work after being repaired by their service twice.
Model: Satellite L870-165
Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
After reboot still happening the same.
I called Toshiba phone incident and after trying several options I said take him to repair the service.
They first told me it was the hard drive, then phoned me to indicate that reinstalling and finally it was the motherboard, which supposedly changed. The day after being picked computer repair returned to give exactly the same error, only malfunctioned one evening.
After another call to 902 the Toshiba warranty service, I went back to take the service, this time I changed the hard drive. When I got home the computer did not start even once, again gives the same error.
I believe that this team comes with a factory default so that its solution is not easy because even the technical service told me that I did not know what else to do with it.

>Computer will not boot, stays with black screen stating: No bootable device-Please restart your system
This message pops up because the notebook cannot find the Windows system.
There could be either an problem with the HDD or maybe the HDD is OK but the Windows system isnt preinstalled properly.
You said that the service agent changed the HDD. But did someone install the Windows system?
You can try to do it yourself take your recovery disk (hopefully you created such disk in the past) and boot from the recovery disk in order to install the system.
In case booting from the Disk would not be possible, go to BIOS (F2) and disable the secure boot and change from UEFI to CSM mode

Remote Not Working after Stand

I'm having an issue where my remote doesn't work after coming out of Stand By. Works great until then. Only way I can get it working again is if I reboot. I've uninstall/reinstalled but I'm still have the issue. Please help. The main reason I purchased the Platinum verison is for this feature.
Thanks in advance.
