Re: Satellite Pro L - How to update drivers?

I found this site, found the driver update page for my laptop, and it said there were 61 updates available, and there was the wonderful long list. The problem is, no matter what icon or word I click on, I can't find out how to download them.
Maybe its really obvious, but would somone please tell me how ?
Many thanks,
Frank.

Hi Frank,
I have only one simple question firstly: Do you have a problem with your notebook and is it working properly? If everything is ok I can only say dont make driver updates! In my opinion these updates are only necessary if you have problems, otherwise its really not necessary.
Never touch a running system!!! ;)

I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.

Satellite Pro A120 - can I update to Windows 7?

I have a Satellite Pro A120 (model PSAC1A-045005 - purchased in Australia) which I wish to update to Windows 7 from XP
The Toshiba Australia site says it is not compatible with Windows 7 and the upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 is unsupported.
Looking on the web I've found a couple of sites that say they have drivers for the computer. One address is as follows:
http://driver-toshiba.blogspot.com/2009/12/toshiba-satellite-pro-a120-psac1-for.html
Presumably these drivers would be unofficial. Would they be reliable or would it cause problems?
I use a wireless router so would be particularly concerned if it caused problems with this

Hi
I installed Win 7 on my old notebook and was able to find some necessary drivers.
The notebook (from another manufacturer) is not officially Win 7 supported but it runs pretty well
I spent some time for driver searching but after that was able to get most of the necessary drivers.
I think you should test it on your A120 thats the one and real solution for you

Satellite Pro L300 (PSLB9E) - need wireless drivers for Server 2003

Hi all,
I have put server 2003 on my new laptop for a university project. Ive got everything to work except for the wireless. Ive tired the latest drivers from the support site for this laptop but they have not worked.
Does anyone know if there are any drivers for my wireless card so that it will work on server 2003? Or how can I find out exactly what wireless card I have in the machine as I have been told it may not be a Intel card it could be a Atheros card?
Thanks

Hello Jack
Server 2003 is not supported on Toshiba notebooks and you must try to find it somewhere on the net.
According the notebook specification your Satellite Pro has REALTEK 802.11(B/G) 13CH-RTL8187B WLAN card.

Satellite Pro A300D - How can I add a second HDD?

Hi there guys/gals,
I noticed that my Satellite Pro A300D has an extra HDD slot on the right hand side but no hard drive case and no screws and the cover has pointy things on this
How can I get hold of these so I can add an extra HDD .
Many thanks.

No. It has its sata connection.
I just need to know where I can find the part numbers or buy the parts from such as the hard drive cradle and cover piece.

Satellite Pro A200: How to create Dual boot; Vista & XP using Recovery CD

I have just purchased a Satellite Pro A200 lap-top, which was supplied with Product Recovery disks for both Vista and XP.
The Vista licence specifically also licences XP.
Can I set up a dual boot so that I can boot to either Vista or XP ? If so, how?
I would also like, as a third boot, Red Hat Linux 9.
Any comments ?

Hmmm. Usually its possible to use two or more operating systems on the computer but as far as I know the Toshiba Vista Recovery CD formats the whole HDD during the Vista installation and this will lead to losing of the installed OS's.
Im not 100% sure about the XP Recovery CD The newest CD called RECO doesnt include expert mode which allows choosing between different partitions.
So I presume every usage of the Recovery CD will format the HDD and will erase the installed data. But of course you could try to install both OS and to check if the XP recovery CD allows choosing second portion for the OS installation.
If it will not function it seems that you will need either an original Microsoft XP CD or the original Vista CD to use both OS.
Best regards

Satellite Pro A200: How to reboot from hibernation

I must be an idiot.
I set on/off button of new Satellite Pro A200 to activate hibernation.
Then set BIOS password. Despite password correctly entered, it will not start windows.
Nor can I shut down laptop by holding down the on/off button to force reboot.
So
1) how do I reboot short of waiting till the batterys run flat...... And
2) when and if I do manage a reboot, which key (s) should I hold down to enter BIOS.
Many thanks for help.

> Despite password correctly entered, it will not start windows.
>Nor can I shut down laptop by holding down the on/off button to force reboot
Do you have a Phoenix BIOS? If yes then you have to press the F2 button immediately after notebook starting to access the BIOS. But you will be not able to access the BIOS if the password is not right and cannot be verified!
The unknown BIOS password can be deleted only by an ASP in you country. There is a special procedure which is only known to the Toshiba authorized service technicians.
Therefore follow the recommendation and contact the guys!
PS: The notebook should shut down when you press the power button for about 4-5sec.
Otherwise disconnect the AC and remove the battery to disable the computer!

Satellite Pro A10 - How to restore Power Management

I'm running a little-used Satellite Pro A10 as a substitute for a sick desktop, and in trying to improve the performance after installing some essential software.
I seem to have accidentally disabled the Toshiba Power Management function - when I click on the icon on the Toshiba Console there is no response.
The Power Management seems to be retaining its previous setting, though, but I'm left with no control otherwise.
Any advice on how to restore this function on the Console?

I am not familar with the Pro A10 as the Laptop I have is A100-033 :
1>> START >> CONTROL PANEL>> SELECT POWER OPTIONS ICON
2>> CLICK ON THE WHERE IT SAYS >> CHANGE WHEN THE COMPUTER SLEEPS
3>> CLICK ON THE WHERE IT SAYS >> CHANGE ADVANCED POWER SETTINGS
4>> BY CLICKING >> RESTORE PLAN DEFAULTS << This may solve your problem....

Satellite Pro 4260: How to remove the DVD drive?

I have a Satellite Pro 4260 and it appears that the DVD drive is broken and I want to replace it. I cannot figure out how to remove the old one.
Does anyone know how? Is there a manual available showing how?
Thanks

Hi
This notebook is not know to me but a checked some sites in the net and it seems that the top cover must be removed.
Then lift up the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive to disconnect PJ700 on the CD-ROM/DVD board from PJ15 on the system board.
Remove two screws securing the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board.
Separate the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector board and CD-ROM/DVD-ROM connector brace from the CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drive
Well, I think its not easy for someone with no experience.
Therefore if you dont know how to do it and you have no much experience you should ask someone how knows what to do ;)

HT1710 how to update drivers

Hi my name is Jamie and i want to know how to update the drivers on a mac os x lion 10.74

You don't. Apple controls all of that through Software Update. Doesn't matter if the manufacturer of any component in the system has come out with an updated drive/software for their products. Apple will not allow it to be installed unless they set it up in Software Update.

How to update drivers for Lenovo IdeaCentre C560?

Hi all,
I have PC Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 with Windows 8.1.
There is installed LSC (Lenovo Solution Centre), which has "System" section and inside it is "Lenovo software update" block, where LSC advices me "Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC".
But there are thess problems:
There are 20 drivers for C560 for Windows 8.1 on Lenovo website.
Which of them I have to download and install?
I have tried at my Device Manager to verify for all of my devices to be last update (it was terrible work) and I always got information that my driver is up-to-date.
Somebody have told me that LSC is not SUITABLE for C560 machine.
So I have these questions:
Does anybody have installed LSC on his C560? A does it work fine (so it find and install always new driver) or he only get abstract ionformation Go to Lenovo's website to update the Lenovo software on your PC?
Are there other possibilities to regularly update drivers then LSC?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Dragnote,
maybe it was caused my terrible English, so I will try to explain relevant aspects once again:
1) I bought my Lenovo IdeaCentre C560 (part number: 57322363) on 22th of May this year from "stone" shop, not through internet. The Web site of this shop is www.mironet.cz, but there is not my PC there in actual supply, because the shop stopped to sell this model. But the parameters etc of this model is on Mironet's Web site here:
http://www.mironet.cz/lenovo-ideacentre-c560-23quot-fhd-intel-core-i54570t-36ghz-8gb-1tb-dvdrw-nvidi...
but is is in Czech language.
2) My Windows are in Czech language, so I will translate it for you into English and therefore some informations/messages can be not fully exact. OK?
2) The LSC program was installed on my new PC with MS Windows 8.1 64-bit. I was only wanted to USE it! And why not. I got with PC only very slim User's Book, where was nothing much usable. And nothing about updating system and drivers, nothing about backuping etc. So I started to use SLC, because it was preinstalled there.
3) Problems of detect WHICH driver I have to update and HOW to do it:
3a) I tried three programs for detecting of my not-to-updated drivers: SLC, Detective and Smart Driver Update with these results: SLC only advice me to go to Lenovo website, Detective and Smart Driver Update gave me list of my not-to-update drivers, but the lists were rather different.
3a) The link I provided, http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/forums/replypage/board-id/ideaCentre/message-id/9220, lists 20 drivers and all of them were released in period between 16 Oct 2013 and 01 Dec 2013, so I have used abbreviation "end of last year", but you are right - mostly of them are from 16 Oct 2013.
3b) I TRIED to compare their date of released with drivers installed on my PC, but I have two basic problems:
3b.1) How to identify WHICH driver on my PC corresponds to drivers on Lenovo web site?
The names are NOT the same. For example: on Lenovo Web site is "Realtek Audio Driver V6695 for Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit) - Desktop", released 17 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.6695. Then I found on my Device manager "Realtek High Definition Audio". So my question already is: "Is it the corresponding driver or not?". But let us say: it is.
So, now we can continue with next information on my driver : date of release is 15 Nov 2013, version: 6.0.1.7093. So I am not sure if these two drivers (one on Lenovo Web site, second on my PC) are the correct PAIR. There is antagonism between date of release and the version number.
3b.2) How to update, when I already "decided", that my driver is not-to-updated and therefore I need it to update?
I launch my Device manager, then I choice some driver, then I click on "to update driver software" and there display two possibilities: find driver on computer, or find driver on Internet. So I click on "Find driver on Internet". Then I wait about 10 seconds and then I ALWAYS get the SAME information: "The driver of this device is up-to-date"
This "optimistic" message I received for about 30 of my drivers. So there are three possible explanations how to explain it:
1) LSC, Detective and Smart Driver Update lie to me, when they tell me "You have some not-to-update drivers", because in reality all of my drivers ARE up-to-date.
2) I really have some not-to-update driver but because I cannot address correct WHICH driver is not to-up-date, I try wrong driver to update. Wrong, because it IS up-to-date.
3) I identify the correct not up-to-date driver but the choise "find driver on Internet" open finding of this procedure in non-Lenovo Web sites.
And maybe you are right when you write: "Sometimes, on a new system, Lenovo installs drivers that are "newer" than the drivers listed on their site. Don't worry, keep the newer drivers."
I apologize very much,but I am not able directly to use the information from you.
I never updated drivers on my old PC (I had it 12 years!), so I have no experiences what happens when I replace my NEW (up-to-date) driver with some OLD driver installed from Lenovo Web site. I am affraid that my keyboard, mouse, screen etc will stop its function.
When I bought this Lenovo machine, I to myself have told that I will keep my drivers up-to-date, but I do not how.

Satellite Pro 2100; How to recover additional software without recovery CD?

How can I recover the bundled WinDVD and Drag'n Drop CD software for my Satellite Pro 2100 without the recovery disk?
Message was edited by: yirms

This is not possible because this additional software is not available on the Toshiba download page why?
Because this is not a Toshiba software but software from 3rd party manufacturers.
This software is bundled with Recovery disk and can be used only with your notebook!
I think this has something to do with the licence issues

Satellite Pro M40 - How to wipe the system to new

I am having a lot of trouble with my Satellite Pro M40.
When wanting to click in to the various files an error message comes up and asks me to send an error report. I think i may need to wipe the system to new. Does anyone know how to do this? I dont have the disks that I orgianlly got with the laptop to do this.
Thanks :D

As you know to open various files you need to use various software. So it will be interesting to know which kind of files you try to open. If you know exactly which software can not be started I recommend you to reinstall it in hope it will work again.
Please think about it at first. If you still want to make clean operating system installation please write again. We will find a way to help you. ;)
Bye
