Re: Satellite L655-11J flash card F8 missing Win 8.1

First I searched the internet I read so many threads about this but none is regarding my problem.
My wireless card is +Broadcom 8.11n+ with ID PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_4727
Is not supported by new TVAP flash cards which I had to install in Windows 8.1
I noticed that in Windows 7 when I tried to install a new version of TVAP the F8 is missing,
So I was stuck in an old version.
I tied to add my wireless ID to the registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\TOSHIBA\WirelessAPL\BT WLANDP
as it is not listed with no luck
The only way I think is to contact TVAP developers and ask them to re-support my wireless again in a new release if they will make one, as I needed it badly it to turn off Bluetooth wireless as well.
Although I can turn the WIFI off but the light of will stay on.
I there is any other way anyone can tell I am willing to try
Thanks in advance

>Is not supported by new TVAP flash cards which I had to install in Windows 8.1
As far as I know the Satellite L655-11 isnt Win 8 supported notebook model and also Win 8.1 is not supported too.
Its not listed on this WINDOWS 8.1 UPDATE - SUPPORTED MODELS page
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/jsp/checkWindows8_1Compatible.do?service=EU
This means that there are no Win 8 / Win 8.1 drivers for the L655 series.
_Secondly_
The VAP (Value added package) isnt released for Win 8 or Win 8.1
The VAP was replaced with Toshiba System Driver
Additionally to get FN key working, the Toshiba Function Key Utility for Win 8.1 needs to be installed.
These both tools are needed to get the FN keys (also the F8) working properly under Win 8 or Win 8.1

  • Satellite L655-S5107 - No battery detected after Win 8.1 installation

    I install windows 8.1 on my Toshiba Satellite L655-S5107, battery with an x ??appears in the description says "no battery is detected".
    Why is this happening? Do I need a driver or software?

    Hi
    Possible solution:
    Go to device manager, right click and uninstall "microsoft compliant ac adapter"
    Then go to action and scan for new hardware.
    Now the battery should be found.
    Sometimes an additional reboot would be neccessary.

  • Satellite L655-11J - Hard disk activity all the time

    Toshiba please I need help
    The first run of my laptop I entered my location my name and a password, I install Toshiba updates and Windows 7 updates (the notifications I got) then I noticed the hard drive is active all the time and the laptop is very slow. I tried a lot to restore the original Toshiba image the built in the laptop and I finally did it thinking maybe I did something wrong
    The hard disk drive still always active (don't know what reading or writing) no monitoring for any activity the laptop very slow and lot of seeking sounds.
    any solution please, I got this problem the first use of it :(

    I know it has a guarantee and they will replace it for free, but it was a gift from Saudi Arabia, I'm now in Syria :( I've to wait until on of my relative go back there :D
    I went to Toshiba in Syria they charge my 7 $ to tell me the hard is defective although I knew it was so, and I will need to pay 100$ for a replacement so I will wait ;)
    thanks all, it was my mistake, it is just I noticed the HDD light always on in windows 7 and it was not on in USB Linux so I thought it was a system problem, I didn't have much time to work on it and make tests :D
    I'm sorry again

  • Satellite C850-108 - WLan card driver for Win 7

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C850-108 and recently it just completely crashed.
    Being stupid i never got chance to create a recovery disc etc for it.
    I have a friend that sent me a disc to help reinstall windows 7.
    However when i did this i lost all drivers and had to completely reinstall them as Iv been finding out which ones i need.
    One big problem i have had is that when i install the driver for network controller it just refuses to install saying there is no network driver detected.
    I have tried going to devices and yellow exclamation etc but still doesnt find anything.
    I have download numerous drivers from Toshiba to try correct this but still have the same problem. I can only connect to the internet via an Ethernet.
    It is as if I do not even have a Wirless card.
    Im very puzzled and frustrated with this if anyone can help i would very much appreciate this.
    P.s i installed using 32bit but when i check my serial number it states that it is 64 bit. Could this be part if the cause?.

    Hi
    As Im not mistaken the Satellite C850-108 supports the Realtek RTL8188CE WLan card.
    So you need to install the Realtek WLan driver for the RTL8188CE chip.
    You should be able to download the driver directly from Realtek page:

  • Flash Cards do not work on my Satellite L750

    Hello,
    I own a Toshiba Satellite L750 PSK1WA-03C00R and my flash cards do not work, the function keys work, but my flash cards do not.
    This model does not come with the Flash Card Support Utility, it does however come with the Value Added Package.
    I have uninstalled, CCleaned and reinstalled and repeated mulitple times, trying to get this to work properly. I have also restarted after each of these steps.
    I can't figure the problem out and thought that I'd see what you guys' recommend before I resort to getting Toshiba's support services.
    I also do not want to have to resort to a system restore, but, if I really have to and have no choice, I will when I can.
    I hope someone may be able to help me and do look forward to what support you can offer me.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Chris.

    Hello Pedro,
    I have checked on thses settings and there is the option to allow the mouse to bring up the flash cards, this will bring up the flash cards if I would like to do that, I would however love to use the keys seeing as the mouse option seems to close any games I may have running and take me to desktop and this is not preferrable.
    There is no "Reset Flash Cards" option, I have serched through many files and done many serches for this option and no luck, which is a shame.
    Do you have any other suggestions? I would love to have this work.
    The reason I did the reinstall was to get my brightness keys to work again. Sure, this fixed the problem, but now I have no flash cards. Any suggestions would make me a very, very happy man.
    Thanks in advance.
    -Chris

  • Satellite A500 - Flash Cards don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E. Recently I did an upgrade from Vista to Win 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then did the upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade assistant.
    I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to enable/disable features..
    I have tried downloading the VAP and running it. I have also tried the Start->Toshiba->Utilities->Restart Flash Cards. Neither of these have worked even after a restart...
    Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do next?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value Added Package, you should also (re)install Flash Cards Support Utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is necessary to get them working.
    You can download it on official Toshiba website:

  • Satellite L655-1EM - why does LED flash all the time?

    I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon, and since I've had it on one of the LEDs won't stop flashing.
    It's the one next to a short fat cylinder.
    Any help would be much appreciated, I even turned everything off and it still flashed!
    My old laptop didn't do this.
    The LED is really bright so it's very noticeable, and it even flashes in hibernate mode!

    Every time when some info must be read from HDD the LED will blink and show HDD activity.
    I cannot understand why do you wondering when HDD blinks. It is logic that from time to time something will be read or written on HDD, even if you dont do anything.
    Do you know how many background processes run on your notebook?
    Please dont make big thing with this. It is nothing unusual and quite normal.

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Need Windows 7 driver for flash card reader

    I have changed from Vista to Windows 7 on my Satellite A200-20N, and now I can't use the flash card reader in it. I have already looked for drivers, but I only find one for vista, also tried to install it, but was not successful.
    How could I use my flash card reader under Windows 7?

    Hi
    Unfortunately I think you can only use the Vista driver and normally they also work on Windows 7.
    Maybe you can explain what not successful means exactly
    Furthermore you can try a newer card reader driver from another notebook model, e. g. Satellite A300.

  • 22 GB missing in my Satellite l655-s5105´s hard drive

    Hi, I bought last december a Toshiba satellite L655-s5105 which has a 320 GB hard disk.
    The disk is a Toshiba MK3265GSXN that in fact has 320 GB.
    However, In my disk I only see as available space 284 GB.
    When I use the computer management tool I see another two partitions : 1,46 GB labeled as recovery partition and 11,72 GB labeled primary partition, for a total of 298 GB.
    ¿ where are the other 22 GB located ?
    I was told by customer support that it is a hidden partition for recovery disks, but ¿do I need 22GB for recovery disks? That is a lot of space.
    Thanks a lot for your orientation.
    Regards,
    Juan

    JM, hello.
    >>> However, In my disk I only see as available space 284 GB.
    This is too much difference to be the binary reason, 1000 for 1024 !
    You might check in Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management -> Disk Management.  If you see that you have two partitions, the second one of +/- 36 GBs, this might be your Restore Partition as provided by many manifacturers nowadays. New Toshiba, hey ? 
         If this is the case, waste no time and do your Restore DVDs. To find out what I am talking about, search the User Manual in c:\ -> Toshiba, it will explain clearly the process.
    Or go into the orb -> Toshiba -> Make Restore DVDs or something like this, I did mine and after you do this, the option is removed, it is a one-off, anti pirating. The Restore partition will stay there and can be accessed another way. A bit or reading involved here but do no shy away from reading all about your machine.         JP.
