  • Satellite A505 Doesn't Recognize HP Printer

    My Satellite A505 laptop doesn't recognize my HP Color LaserJet 2550L printer, when I connect them with a USB line.  I tried going to the HP site to download the drive for the 2550L, but that site said Windows 7 already had it! Suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Did not work.  I tried installing the printer and driver using the add printer function (per the video), and, while I got a message that said the printer had successfully installed, neither the test page, nor a second, 1-page Word document, would print --  even though the printer is on, with paper loaded, no jams, and a green light, the USB cable is in tight (printer and laptop), but I get a printer job status of "Error" whenever a job enters the print queue.
    Same thing happened when I tried to load the driver from the original disk that came with the printer (I suspect the original driver isn't ready for Windows 7, but I have Windows 7 set to "automatic update", so I'm expecting it to go onto the internet and find the newest version of my driver, one that IS compatible -- that's the whole point of the auto update function).  Another issue I encountered, when I tried to load the driver manually, from the original disk, was it came back with a pop-up window that advised loading the driver with the "Printer Wizard", so I know that had to be a pre-Windows 7 disk.
    FYI -- I had this same problem trying to use an old Brother Laserprinter at home -- the USB wouldn't recognize the printer.  Loaded it via Windows, but got printer error message on any document I tried to print.
    This should be so simple! Plug 'n Play, via USB.  Maddening!

  • I'm running Windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6035 while running Firefox 4 Beta my video card crashes on a regular basis. Solved it by uninstalling Firefox 4 Beta and running Firefox 3.6. Update for a Firefox 4 Beta?

    After installing Firefox 4 Beta my graphics card keept crashing on my laptop. After looking at the reliability report on the laptop i noticed that a key event that happend shortly before the video crashing began was that i installed Firefox 4 Beta. From this i uninstalled Firefox 4 Beta and went back to Firefox 3.6. My laptop has not had a video crash since then.

    Thanks for your reply! Actually, yesterday I upgraded to the new kernel (version 3.4.3-1) and my laptop has not freezed since then. So, maybe I will wait for a couple of days and hopefully mark this as solved.

  • 1 month Toshiba satellite A505 s6033 freezing randomly and blank screen on startup

    Hi,
    My Toshiba satellite A505 s6033 start freezing last night when I was surfing the internet. After pressing 5 seconds or more the power button the computer turned off.  After that I start it back on but all the lights on body worked except the display.
    After few more attempts I pushed arrow down and the power button the display turned on, but the freezing problem is back. So I thought that is a windows problem and I used the recovery partition to restore the state out of the box state. But the display is randomly blank when I push the start button except the other lights, and after restoring the laptop still freezing randomly in or during the windows is loading.
    When I turn it on in safe mode, it works perfectly fine. When I turn it on normally, it freezes almost right away.
    I bought this computer from bestbuy, but I am an Romanian citizen (sorry for my English), my question is : I can use the International Limited Warranty in my country ? Or what should I do to fix my laptop.
    Kind regard,
    Valentin

    First, sorry because of my English, it is not my language and it's been a while since I had to used it.
    This is happening to me, when I bought the laptop I had a few times that it froze but I thought it was something I did, and it happened once or twice in 3 months, for 9 months, maybe 4 times in the last month, it began to increase.
    Then I thought it could be the temperature, and after a while, 2 months, I didn't had time, I bought a external cooler, but it didn't work... By this time my warranty expired... And thinking it could be dirt, I opened the back, but just by removing it I saw it was clean and put it back, I did nothing but opening... And again started looking for what it could be... Yes, I tried looking here, but I didn't find this topic that time, and now that I don't have the warranty I found it...
    Any one here could help me? What should I do? Is there any way to fix it without buying a new video card? 
    I live in Brazil so its difficult for me to buy parts, I bought the laptop in the states when there, here the hardware are expensive... But if I have, I'll buy... If I have to buy a new one, could you tell me if there is a new one that I can buy that has little difference in price for the one I have and it's better?
    PS: Toshiba from Brazil didn't helped me, I just spoke with then...
    I thank you for any help!!

    Hi  PhiPsiVol354
    corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
    Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
    so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
    this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
    OR
    By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
    follow this steps:
    1-  Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
       ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
    2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
    3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
    4-Menu appear , show:
       -boot from hard drive
       -boot from cd
       -load mini windows xp
    select second option ( boot from cd)
    5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
    enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
    6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and  immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
    7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
    8- the system restart and enter to windows .
    9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
    Good luck
    I hope this will solve your  problem.

  • Satellite A505-S6973 and OS Upgrade

    Fellow toshiba laptop users,
    I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has the touchpad and quickplay buttons and I was wondering if I were to upgrade my pc to Windows 7 would i be able to use all these features (plus eco utility and pc health monitor).
    I ask this question because currently my pc has, what is supposed to be a 500Gb harddisk, 317 GB hard disk space available but i barely have information or documents stored on my system. I can understand i have programs installed but still to occupy that amount.
    So, long story short, if i were to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and i installed the toshibha value added package and eco utility programs would that be all I would need to dload and install because i like this pc.
    Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can the feel the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slow and the temperature on my system is always high, currently FAN SPEED 90% and CPU TEMPERATURE 64%, and I hav my system configured to use low power.
    I appreciated any and all comments, suggestions and advice...

    I don't have US notebook model and cannot answer to your second question but I know for sure that Win7 works well on Satellite A500.
    Two months ago I had friends Satellite A500 at home. Originally it was preinstalled with Vista.
    I made two experiments to see how it works with Win7. At first I have upgraded it with Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
    With clean OS installation everything was OK too.
    Before you start Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to be sure which version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64bit is fully supported.

  • Keyboard Issues on Satellite A505-S6973

    Goodday again everyone,
    Can anyone tell me if the onboard keypad on my Satellite A505-S6973 has a backlight.
    I'm watching alot of these new laptops and similar to mine, under the keypad it's white and I'm not sure if it's like that because it's supposed to light. If so, can anyone tell me.

    On Toshiba US support page I have checked notebook specification and obviously your notebook doesnt have this illuminated keyboard.
    Just for info: all illuminated keyboards have FN+Z option for enabling/disabling illumination.
    With other words small keyboard symbol will be placed on Z key.
    This option, when illuminated keyboard is in the notebook, is also available in Toshiba HWSetup tool.

  • Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

    Hi,
    We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago.  However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba. 
    Problems:
    Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time.  Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes. 
    In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too.  It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
    In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files.  We are the only user account on this computer.  We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
    It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer.  Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer.  It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds.  HUGE nuisance.  We watch a lot of videos. 
    Minor issue:  In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com.  If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results.  On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine.  I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can. 
    I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work.  That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
    There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work.  Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once.  It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
    This isn't a problem - just a question.  Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary?  Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
    **CLARIFICATION:  It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.  The one that you have to pay for.  Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
    If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
    Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

    Yes, everything was fine with Firefox.  However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
    Thanks for battery info...
    I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop.  I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
    Thanks for the info.
    ScottinFla wrote:Concerning Firefox, have you checked your add-on list for any faulty plug-ins or extensions? Try disabling them and see what happens. Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
    As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
    Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
    I have the same model and it works just fine.

  • Toshiba Satellite A505 - Operating system windows 7

    Toshiba Satellite A505 - Operating system windows 7
    1) Unable to get the main part of my touch pad to respond to tapping.  In the control panel we made sure that tapping and tap zone was enable.  Someone said to hold fn & f9 simultaneously but it still doesn't let me tap on the larger main part of touch pad. 
    2) When trying to turn up volume by + sign it makes a alarm sound (PC beep) and as soon as I let go it goes back to where it was.  When using icon in system tray it does the same thing (alarm sounds (PC beep)  and it automatically goes back all the way down). Even going into control panel >sound>speaker >properties to turn up volume does the same thing.  Any help with these two problems would be greatly appreciated.

    ok number 1, try going to ''device manager'' which is found by typing it into the white box when you press the start windows button in the far bottom left corner, the find the device that controls your touchpad... e.g (smart pad etc), it should be easy to find under ''mice and other pointing devices'' then id like you to ''disable'' the device, ignore any messages, and then wait a few seconds, and go back and ''enable'' it, then restart, this should resolve the problem, otherwise its a case that it is damaged, or needs updated drivers or re installing, but try that first...
    Number 2, this is an ongoing problem, and should only last for a few mins until it fixes, if the problem is more serious try this: go to the speaker icon, and right click, then click, ''playback devices'' then the tabs at the top? you see one called ''communications'' well, click that tab, and change the setting to ''do nothing'' see if that resolves it. if not i obviously have more complex solutions, im just giving you thr most common fixes.

  • Problem with windows 7 on a Satellite A505-S6005

    About a year ago I bought that model, everything worked fine, sound, video, everything.
    About 2 or 3 months a nasty virus attacked my laptop and I had to reinstall the windows 7 home premium 64 bits.
    And after reinstalling the OS I downloaded and installed all the drivers, but the Problem I came up with is that although I installed the drivers I couldn't make use of any programs that required the use of the graphic card, I would really like some help with this Problem, because I really need to use the graphic card for some programs at the university help please.

    I had to reinstall the windows 7 ... I downloaded and installed all the drivers
    Your best bet is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
    If you don't have the recovery partition and you didn't burn recovery discs, then order the discs from Toshiba.

  • Satellite A505-S6033 wont awake from sleep

    My new A505-S6033 PSAT9U-006002 will not come back from sleep. I am using an external LCD with output soley to it. I have to use the power button to shut down and restart using "Start Windows Normally". Any help would be great. Actually now that I think about it, I am not certain if its asleep or just the 'turn off the display' in 5 mins is causing it. Either way, I tried unplugging the LCD and still nothing on the laptop display.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Jerry, not sure what I should change with the power options as I like them as-is for Balanced mode. I did confirm the external LCD [HP w19b] turns off by default in 10 mins and does come back on when I move the mouse a minute later then after 15 mins, [default sleep] time - the laptop does not go to sleep but appears to lock up or freeze, forcing me to hold the power button down to restart to get the display back. The drive indicator light stops and stays off and the cooling fan continues to run but not at a steady rate. Also the AC power light and ON/OFF light stay lit. 
    Also, disconnecting the external LCD allows the laptop to sleep as normal in 15 mins. and when i move the mouse it starts to wake, meaning the ON/OFF light goes from slow blinking red back to solid white but no drive activity and no display. I am running WHS connector FYI, Dropbox and Google Calendar Sync.
    Reliability Reports in 7 shows the laptop did not shut down correctly when i did a forced shut down but no information is provided there. I'll have to poke around in Event Viewer. Let me know if there is a certain area I should look at.
    UPDATE: I didnt think to mention what I had plugged in the 3 USB ports but removing the External Western Digital storage drive WD3200AAJ fixed the sleep/wake problem but creates the problem of needing the external drive.
    After countless reboots and persistent configuration attempts I've found that moving the external hard drive to another USB port on the right side as opposed to the left side USB port fixed the problem temporarily but came right back. 
    Also I tried setting the USB sleep/wake/charge options 1) typical 2) alternative on the left USB, no luck.

  • Satellite A505-S6025: Win 7 64bit - driver ACPI\TOS1901 fails

    If anyone knows what it is and how i can fix it.
    thanks!!!
    the driver\driver\fwlnk failed to load for the device ACPI\TOS1901\2&daba3ff&2

    Hi
    Install the Toshiba Value Added Package for Win 7 64bit and check if it will solve your problem.
    The driver for ACPI\TOS1901 seems to belongs to Value Added Package
    As Im not mistaken the Satellite A505-S6025 was released in USA. Therefore you should use the Toshiba US driver page to get the package.

  • Satellite A505-S69803 won't boot up

    Was using computer, left it up and running came back after an hour and it appeared to be in sleep mode.  Could not wake it up.  Finally shut it off and now appears not to reboot.  The power lights all come on and the fan runs but nothing else happens.  The screen remains black and no start up noise is heard.  Have tried taking out the battery and reinserting with no success.  Called for technical support and they want to charge me several hundred dollars to ship it back to them to look at it even though it is only 6 months old and still under warranty.

    model number PSAT0U-01F001
    I have a Satellite A505-S69803 with Windows 7 Home Premium OA that I bought at Best Buy in December of 2009. Until yesterday, I had not had one problem with it.
    Went to turn it on last night and had no luck - it seems dead. I thought it might be a power cord or battery issue, so I removed the battery & tried it just on AC power - no luck. Tried it with just the battery - no luck. No lights, no sounds - nothing.
    Took it to best buy today. Their "geek" said he thought the power supply was bad. We bought a new one; he tried that, same thing - dead. We returned the new power supply.
    I've used this laptop every day for 17 months and have not had a single issue, so this is perplexing. Don't know if this will help, but here's how I used the computer leading up to the issue last night:
    1. Used it outside, on battery power, for a few hours in the morning.
    2. Took it inside, plugged it in, and used it for a few hours in the afternoon.
    3. Closed the screen (puts it in Standby mode), unplugged it, took it upstairs.
    4. Plugged it in, opened the screen.
    5. Noticed Standby light was not on - no lights at all.
    6. Pressed the power button to bring it out of Standby - nothing.

    The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer. I still have other computer to use, so I am not so worried about start up the computer. I want to find out a way to first back up my personal data and files from the computer to an external devices, then try to fix the computer. Thank you.

    The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer.
    Yes, that's exactly what you should do first. Later we'll try to resurrect Windows. This is my favorite way nowadays.
     1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
    2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
    3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
    4. Run Unetbootin-windows-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
    5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
    6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.
       Mounting drives and partitions in Puppy Linux
       Copying your files to external hard disk or USB flash drive
