Portege R600 (PPR61E) - How to disable WLAN in BIOS?

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Portege R600, model number PPR61E with BIOS version 1.50. I want to be able to disable Wireless in the BIOS. This should be possible because the option exists on page 2 of the Bios screen under 'PCI LAN'. It is greyed out, however. I have tried enabling and disabling various options to try and get it to appear and the wireless switch is also enabled. It definately has a Wireless card in the Laptop because I can see wireless networks in windows.
I've also downloaded the latest BIOS from the Toshiba Website, version 1.80 but this does not work. It comes up with the error message, not compatible with this model of PC. I selected the correct model of machine and logged in with an account with local admin rights and ran the update from the machine.
Has anyone else had this problem? Help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Martin Milner

The Wlan cannot be disabled in BIOS!
If you want you can disable the WLan card in device manager but not in the BIOS.
Furthermore youve got a Wlan switch at the notebooks side there you can enable and disable the WLan functionality!

Satellite A200-1GC (PSAE3E) How to disable WLAN switch?

Hello everybody,
is there any way to disable that stupid wlan switch, which prevents any new wlan card to run properly? I've tried to install several different wlan cards: Intel 5100, Intel 5300 etc. Every card was working properly (device manager), but the wlan led does not lit. Windows 7 64 Bit always says, that i should turn on the switch. But the switch is already turined on. I've installed value added package also. The key combination Fn+F8 simply does not work. When i install the old wlan card Intel 3945, then everything works fine: the wlan led lits and so on. Any comments from toshiba support people maybe?
Regards,
Igor

I've found a solution by myself. I've cut the wire on my WIFI 5100 which leads to the pin 20 on the card. The switch still doesn't work, which now doesn't prevent my card to be working nomally. Now i have full 300 Mbit speed. :)
Another option would be to cover the pin 20 on the card with a sticky tape for example.

[865PE/G Neo2 Series] How to disable Fastwrites in BIOS?

How can I do that? Since I have my new 6800Ultra people keep telling me that I have to disable Fastwrites in the BIOS of the mobo and not only in the VGA driver settings.
But I couldnt find such an option in the BIOS. Im currently using the 2.5 version. Now what?
Thanks in advance for any answers other than "there isnt such an option"!

So you guys dont have the stuttering issue in FarCry?
And I know it is caused by the gfx card or its drivers because I didnt have any stuttering with the X800XT PE. Same thing in Colin McRae04 and 05. And 99% of teh answers I got to the question "what should I do" in several hardware forums were "disable Fastwrites in your mobo BIOS".
Maybe none of them had an MSI board.

How to disable (not reset) bios password HP-Mini?

Is there a way to disable (not having to enter it after power on) the bios password? I KNOW the password, I can get into BIOS but I don't see an option to disable it, you can re-enter the current password and choose a new one but no delete or disabling option...??? Is there a way to disable it completly?

Got it! Was doing it wrong way leaving all spaces blank but it doesn't work because it always prompts you to enter your current password; so that's Current Password > "your current password" hit enterNew Password > "leave blank" hit enterConfirm New Password> "leave blank" hit enter and it prompts you to "CONTINUE with save changes?" > hit enter and Password changes from <SET> to <CLEAR>; SAVE & Exit and it's done. Thank you!

T500:How to disable Passwords in BIOS

Howdy,
I entered passwords as a test e.g. Supervisor & Power-On Password etc and decided that I don't need the Power-On Password and wanted to disable it but could not find a way to do it.
Thank you for your help.

Just enter the old password and nothing in the boxes for the new password (just press <ENTER> there). That will disable the password.

Re: Disabled wireless connection on Win 7 - Portege R600

I have installed Windows 7 (clean installation) on notebook Toshiba Portege R600 and the built in 3G modem doesn't work.
When I start Toshiba Wireless Manager it writes "Radio is turned off. To acitvate, turn on notebook switch.".
I am sure that this switch is on, but switching of wireless connections using Fn+F8 doesn't work so maybe it is off but I cannot enable it. I have installed all updated drivers like: Wireless manager, Wlan driver,
BT Stack, etc.
Does anyone have any idea?

I want to enable 3G modem. As I understand the HW switch is to enable all wireless equipments, ie 3G, Wifi, bluetooth. And then Fn+F8 enables or disables each of it. But Fn+F8 does not provide any function. And as I realized, bluetooth don't work as well. I suppose that currently wifi is enabled and 3G and bluetooth disabled, but the Fn+F8 doesn't work to enable it.

How to disable microphones and configure WLAN on Satellite A210-11b?

Hello

At first please help me with this microphone in my notebook becuse I want put in output channel. Please help me. I cant speak on TEAM SPEAK 2.

Hi mate,
I suppose that you have Windows Vista installed. If thats right then go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Recording -> choose either "FrontlineIn" or "Frontmic" (which is available in this moment) and dont forget to connect your headset before.
Regarding WLAN, you should check this article: http://helpdesk.uafortsmith.edu/Guides/VistaWirelessSetup

Hi,
I wonder if its possible to use the Wireless connection manager 5 and to make or receive a call?

Is it possible to make audio call with the Wireless Manager by the GSM modem module?
I succeed to send SMS and to connect to HSPA data services but i dont find any reason why i can not connect to the GSM and make a call.

I even succeed to use the GPS that probably installed in the GSM/HSPA modem (wireless manager 5).
If anyone can explain how and if it possible to make a call please send your reply ... i wnat to use the laptop with BT instead of cell phone ....

Portege R600-11B - Cannot install Adobe Acrobat 9 - ActiveX issue

I have recently purchased a Portege R600-11B and have been trying to install Adobe Acrobat 9 on it by downloading from the Adobe site.
I have spent several unsuccessful hours talking to Adobe to try and resolve this issue.
They have concluded that my laptop is not compatible with the software.
This is not the case as this laptop exceed the systems specification required in all aspects.
The problem appears to be that it will not run ActiveX even after all firewalls and virus software in disabled - I don't really know what to do - does anyone have any suggestions please?

>They have concluded that my laptop is not compatible with the software.
Thats simply nonsense
The Adobe Acrobat Reader is a small application and can be installed on nearly all computers and systems So thats definitely not a reason why you are not able to install this software.
If this issue is related to the ActiveX then you could change this in your internet browser settings.
For example using the IE7 you could change this here:
Tools->Internet Options->Zones->{zone}->ActiveX controls and plug-ins->Allow previously unused ActiveX controls to run without prompt
You could also try to clean the OS and the registry because the issue could be related to the faulty registry entries.
For this I would recommend using the CCleaner free tool.
Last but not least its always advisable to check the support homepage of the software manufacturers. Here you can find some docs about installation issues with the Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Portege R600 - Difference between cooling options

I have a Portege R600 with Windows 7 installed, but I guess my query is generic to all Porteges regardless of the version of Windows.
Could someone please explain to me what the different "cooling options" in the power settings actually mean? I couldn't find details anywhere.
Does battery optimized mean that the cpu fan gets activated only beyond a certain temperature? And what's the difference between cooling and maximum performance?
Is there any other way to set the cpu fan speed directly?
This is a very important point to me, because the fan of the Portege is terrible, too noisy, to the extent that I am considering return the laptop unless I find a solution. Sometimes it sounds like a Ferrari engine at a billion rpms!
Thanks!

This points to:
[http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD84026Q0000R01.htm]
which mentions that:
"If the sound of the CPU fan seems too loud, a setting that optimizes battery life will also cause the CPU fan to turn on less frequently."
However, my problem was quite the opposite: optimizing battery life causes the fan to stay off most of the times but to make the noise of a Ferrari engine at max speed when it activates. Optimizing performance, instead, means the fan is almost always on but barely noticeable, and never makes the disturbing Ferrari-like noise.
Maybe it's just me, but that kind of noise prevents me from using the laptop and would have cause me to return it had I not found a solution. I simply think that it's such a big potential problem that a clear solution should have been explained in huge letters, all the more so because the solution is very banal. It might be just my opinion, but judging by reviews and comments on forums, I'd say it isn't.

How to disable automatic resume on Satellite P100-437

Hello to all.
I bought recently the P100-437. In general I am happy with my laptop but there is an issue that I am trying to solve and unfortunately I can't.
When I put the laptop in Hibernation and close the lid then when I open the lid the laptop automatically resumes windows. This has put me into troubles when I had to pass from some security checks in the airports.
So, I am looking for a way to stop this automatically resuming on lid opening.
It is really important to do that. Do you have any suggestions or the way this can be done??
Regards,
G.

Hello idet
I think it is time to end this long discussion. First of all you can not expect any solution because solution exists just if there is some problem. But in your case there is no problem. With simply words: no problem no solution, just possibility to avoid notebook to switch ON after opening the lid.
I also understand what you want but something like this is definitely not possible. You will not find any setting for that. When you close the lid one small hidden switch is activated and when you open the lid the same switch lose connection and give a signal to laptop to start OS because laptop knows the lid is open.
I can just imagine you bring your notebook to the service and they can cutoff the cable between this switcher and main board.
I have found similar question here when one forum user asked how to disable fingerprint reader on his new Portege 400. Something like this is definitely not possible. Just cutting off physical connection can help. Maybe!!!

Portege R600 - replacement keyboard

Hi,
I need a replacement keyboard for my Portege R600. I need a US-international keyboard.
Can you please tell me where I can buy that? Google gave me links for R500 but not for R600. Also the part number would help, for R500 it's P000488460, but for R600 I haven't found it yet.
Thanks,
Peter

I already checked those before posting here, but they're not selling separate replacement keyboard as far as I can see...
Like for the R500 a quick google on *P000488460* shows that lots of e-shops are selling it.
My question is wether this same keyboard fits on the R600? And if not, how I can get one for the R600?
Thanks in advance

How to disable parent window while popup window is coming

Hi,
I am working on Oracle Applications 11i.
I am able to get the popup window using the Java script in the controller.
Please see the below code for the reference.

StringBuffer l_buffer = new StringBuffer();
StringBuffer l_buffer1 = new StringBuffer();
l_buffer.append("javascript:mywin = openWindow(top, '");
l_buffer1.append("/jct/oracle/apps/xxpwc/entry/webui/AddAttachmentPG");
l_buffer1.append("&retainAM=Y");
l_buffer1.append("&pubOrderId="+pubOrderId);
String url = "/OA_HTML/OA.jsp?page="+l_buffer1.toString();
OAUrl popupUrl = new OAUrl(url, OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_SAVE );
String strUrl = popupUrl.createURL(pageContext);
l_buffer.append(strUrl.toString());
l_buffer.append("', 'lovWindow', {width:750, height:550},false,'dialog',null);");
pageContext.putJavaScriptFunction("SomeName",l_buffer.toString());
But here the problem is, even though popup window is there, i am able to do the actions on the parent page.
So how to disable the parent page, while getting the popup window.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks
Naga

How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Pref.] - [Display] - [Arrangement]

Does anyone know How to Disable "Auto Align" in [System Preferences] -> [Display] -> [Arrangement]?
It always want to align the two screens from the top when they are lined up close together and I need them to be aligned from the bottom. Since the resolution heights are so close together (1080 & 1050) it does not allow one to align side by side from the bottom as it prioritizes top alignment.
I guess I'm looking for a script to disable this feature.

Anyone got any ideas?
