Saitek P990 Game Controller not recognized by Toshiba L505D Laptop

Window 7 recognized the Saitek P990 Dual Analog Game Controller no PROBLEM, able to go into Properties Pad Test mode and move thumb doggles in Test Mode with no problem.
I believe it is The TOSHIBA USB Host Port Controller on my Satellite L505D- S9695 laptop not recognizing the devices. NOThing on Toshiba Download Categories for USB DEVICE DRIVERS ????? What Up with that ??? 

USB drivers are included in WIndows and in the basic motherboard chipset driver package. 
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

  • USB Host Controller not recognized by Windows 7.

    Just installed Windows 7 in a1130n desktop.  The USB Host Controller and the Std USB Host Controller are not recognized by the operating system.  The USB ports and the media memory ports on the front panel will not work.

    My HP Z400 is suffering from the same problem. Did you discover a solution?

    I've listed my dmesg and rc.conf below. Could anyone kindly look into it, and give me a hint to solve this problem?
    Best regards,

  • Re: Satellite Serial number not recognized by Toshiba support

    Hello,
    I possess an A200 satellite laptop, and I am not able to find any driver for it on Toshiba site !!
    - its serial number (X8172841K) is not recognized , the message is : "Sorry , your product cannot be found" [translated from French]
    - the support site cannot detect my laptop model
    - none of the drivers that I have downloaded (closest to A200) accept to install
    Can u help me ?
    Regards,
    Sbastien (France)

    If the serial number is not detected by Automatic detection you can find drivers manually.
    Maybe you have the same A200 as friend of mine. His notebook has part number PSAE6E.
    To find right drivers please visit Toshiba download and support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Support Homepage and at the bottom you will find link Download drivers.
    Go there and choose your notebook model with right short model number.
    If you need more help please let me know.
    BTW: have you tried to find right drivers on Toshiba France support page?

  • Scsi controller not recognized during ftp install

    Hi all,
    As you can tell, this is my first post and my first attemp to install arch.  I downloaded the latest ftp install floppies "Arch Linux 0.5 (Nova)" and  I am trying to install arch on a PII system with and Adaptec 2940UW controller and no cdrom.  I can boot from Tom's recue disk:
    http://www.toms.net/rb/
    and the controller is recognized and I can use fdisk to partition the drive.
    However, when I boot from the arch install floppies, the controller is not recognized.  When I manually load the module for the controller, ie. aic7xxx, lsmod shows it as unused.
    After looking at the boot log using dmesg, I noticed the following, which I don't understand:
    kmod: failed to exec /sbin/modprobe -s -k scsi_hostadapter, errno=2
    Is this a kernel issue and does anyone have any pointers for me?
    Thanks
    Kevin
    PS: I tried my best to search for a related topic.

    Thanks for the reply.  It still doesn't work for me. 
    I noticed that the floppy images have been updated -- the md5sum's have changed.  I will give them a try.
    As an aside, the listed md5sum's for the new images don't match the downloads.  I downloaded from several mirrors and I get the same sums, which don't match the sums listed.
    $ md5sum *.img

  • LaserJet p1102w not recognized by Toshiba A505 S6005 in WIN 10

    the printer is not found during setup

    This is not a one off, it is repeatable on brand new disks.
    I previously had the original win10 preview build installed on this hard drive = no problems.
    I then did a fresh install of build 9879 from CD. Install completed untill it got to the reboot phase = it would not reboot - the hard drive was not recognized in the bios anymore.
    tested broken hard drive in another computer = works
    tested broken hard drive in 2nd connector on my laptop = fail (still not seen by bios).
    tested a few other sata disks I have laying around on both connectors of my laptop = pass.
    upgrade my bios as there is one version higher than I had. = fail (still not seen by bios).
    boot from broken hard drive on another computer and finish the OOB portion of the win 10 preview install = pass
    So it seems clear that the hard drive is still working, but just not recognized on the original computer. It is only 2 months old so I get it replaced under warranty. Replacement disk is recognized by bios, yeah! I then restore image of broken hard drive
    to this replacement. Disk is still recognized by bios. I boot up from this disk on my laptop. It works OK until first reboot, then is not recognized by bios anymore.
    Computer = Toshiba Satelite P305 PSPC8U-01400Q
    Hard disk = WD blue 1TB  model: WD10JPVX-22JC3T0
    Note: also with windows 8 running on this computer and the broken hard drive installed in second connector, windows also does not see it, neither through disk manager nor through diskpart command line. But if I boot up in Linux from a bootable USB flash
    drive, then I can see the (broken disk) on this same computer. Yes I can see it and I can read and write to the filesystem, even though it is still not seen by the bios.

  • Booting from a SATA controller not recognized by BIOS.

    I have an USB install of Arch Linux and it works pretty well for me, I can access the files on the SATA drive, browse the intarwebs and code, but I can't really paint on it and that forces me to have a Windows installation on the hard drive.
    But the problem is that the BIOS doesn't see the disk and since it isn't a Linux kernel I can't refer to it through UID and I'm not entirely sure GRUB can see non-BIOS disks either, which doing ls from GRUB commandline seems to confirm, as it only lists the USB stick and it's partitions. Is there any GRUB 2 module or other way to have it recognize the disk plugged into the controller, so I can chainload into Windows?
    The Windows bootloader seems to be capable of booting from a disk not recognized by BIOS so as long as I chainload into it I guess it'll be all right.
    I heard there is some way to stuff the Windows bootloader onto a pendrive or even force the controller BIOS into motherboard BIOS, but I'd rather avoid this and stick with GRUB if possible.
    If it's any help here's what the lspci has to say about the controller:
    01:08.0 RAID bus controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller (rev 50)
    Subsystem: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6421 IDE RAID Controller

    Capabilities: [e0] Power Management version 2
    Kernel driver in use: sata_via
    Kernel modules: sata_via
    Thanks in advance.

    No it doesn't and the mobo doesn't have such a setting.
    In the end I searched for the controller BIOS on the intarwebs and ended up modyfing the motherboard BIOS to include it with cbrom, though I had to sacrifice the netboot module for it to fit; I didn't use anyway, so no big loss. By chance I didn't screw up anything during flashing and now there is a controller RAID prompt after the usual BIOS screen and I can boot from"SCSI" which is the SATA disk. I can now install Windows no problem and GRUB2 recognizes the disk on it's own too.
    But I don't really like this modyfing BIOS stuff, is there seriously no way to do it, save maybe writing my own GRUB2 module by gleaning the code of sata_via kernel module?
    Also at some point I think I made ntldr see the disk with unmodified mobo BIOS, but I don't remeber how exactly I did it and anyway the USB with bootloader became 0-th drive, so the Windows of course wouldn't boot (why doesn't it have drivemap, duh). It would be best if I somehow made GRUB2 see this disk with unmodified BIOS and then drivemap and fire the ntldr, but if that can't be done, then oh well.

  • Ipod not recognized by itunes or laptop

    i have an ipod touch 4g and i can't get it to be recognized by my sony vaio laptop.
    i recently got a new laptop and just finished transferring my itunes library over to it.
    i went to sync my ipod, but i had endless problems with my old and new library. long story short, i reset it completely.
    on my ipod, i set everything back to their old settings and whatnot, but when i went to sync it, my ipod didnt show up in my computer or itunes.
    i restarted, checked for updates, and all that with amds and itunes. i followed every suggestion from apple support, troubleshoot, and ran diagnostics from itunes. the diagnostics still say that there is not an ipod found.
    on its own, my ipod functions correctly and recognizes to be charged from my usb port. itunes and windows wont recognize it though
    is there anything else i can do? this is really frustrating me.
    thanks!

    - So you tried everthing here:
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - Does it charge?
    - Have you tried another cable?
    - Try a known good compuuter.
    - Reset the iPod, nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • 1st Gen iTouch not recognized by iTunes on Laptop

    I have a 1st Gen iTouch that I cannot seem to get iTunes to recognize.
    About a week ago I re-named it in iTunes, cleaned it up, and performed a sync.
    Used it until the battery was low, and re-charged using my wall charger. Now, when I connect to the laptop, is is not recognized at all...
    I have tried the following to no avail:
    Re-install iTunes
    Stop/Start the Apple Mobile Device
    Try a different USB cable
    Re-boot the laptop with USB devices not plugged in
    Force the iTouch into recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
    Try to connect using a different laptop
    It still charges when connected to my wall charger. I have a 2nd gen iTouch that connects just fine (charges & connects to iTunes). I don't what the problem could be?! This iTouch is 1.5 years old and work great apart from this issue. Can anyone help?

  • USB Midi Controller not recognized by Mac?

    hey there
    I have just attempted to plug in my trusty Edirol PCR300 to my mac for the first time. It currently works on my PC
    I installed the 2.0.0 driver as per instructions on Edirol website, rebooted, plugged in and turned on the device.
    The device is recognized in the system profiler (about this mac etc etc Hardware > USB) however it is nowhere to be found on the midi page of the Audio Midi Utility. One would expect it to turn up here when i press Rescan Midi.... and needless to see it's not turning up in Logic and nor is it an input option on the PCR Editor software.
    Obviously i've tried turning it off and back on etc etc.
    Running the latest Lion, latest Logic and latest Edirol driver on a Macbook Pro i7 with 8GB RAM.
    Any help would be appreciated, i've been trying to get this working for 4 hours now!

    Hi Guys
    I have a PCR connected up here, running OSX.7.3, it works fine:
    It does need drivers, as discussed in my earlier post.
    The OP's issue is probably down to incorrect driver installation, or possible some conflict with other MIDI drivers. If the OP has not solved the problem, I suggest using the Edirol driver removal software, and then re-installing the drivers.
    (Always assuming that the keyboard does work OK on another computer, and that the cable is OK).

  • Help! nano not recognized by toshiba

    Hello! I know that iPod connectivity with Toshiba laptops seems to be quite a problem here, and unfortunatelly, I have become the next victim of this frustrating issue.
    Yesterday I got the iPod nano 1G, installed the latest iPod updater, the latest iTunes, but both of them do not recognize the iPod. I roamed through the discussions here, I tried the 5Rs, I tried HP USB Disk Storage Format Tool numerous times, turned the USB connections off and on, and so on and so on, but absolutely nothing will help. I think there's nothing I haven't tried yet, expect for THE solution...
    Windows recognizes the iPod as a F:Removable Disk witrh nothing in it, you cannot format it. If you try formatting with the HP USB Tool, it will say "Device is protected" and if I try to change the drive name, it will not even show up in the Disk Manager.
    I came until the point where iPod Updater tries to restore the iPod, but at the end it will say "Cannot mount".
    It's a desaster! My iPod Shuffle was working perfectly with this rather new laptop. (I broke it, that's why I bought the nano) I expected to enjoy the nano in the same wyay, just plug and play, but this has become a nightmare since NOTHING seems to be working.
    If anyone can help me please, I would regain my faith in apple again... thank you!
    Toshiba dynabook   Windows XP   Japanese Laptop PC

    i solved the problem!!
    even no one replied to this, i will describe shortly what i did, for every one who runs into the same problem!
    the reason itunes could not recognize ipod was that the usb 2.0 drivers for my toshiba dynabook were outdated or just BAD.
    so i looked for updates for my dynabook, updated everything i could find.
    restarted the pc and boom! - itunes and ipod connect and you find me laughing on the floor.
    so, i update your system, your usb drives and see if it works. it solved all the other problems i had with my usb connections before (like with my mouse and digital camera).
    i described the same thing in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=580625

  • Xbox 360 Controller not recognized by Macbook.

    I just bought an xbox 360 controller to play games with it while programing it through a software. When I first plug it in, the Mac recognizes the controller. If I unplug it and then plug it in again, the 360 controller lights will flash, but it won;t recognize it. If I restart my computer, plug it in, its fine again. Now, if I plug it in, it works, un plug it, but plug it into a different usb port, it will work again. Once I've used one port, it won't work with it and will have to restart my Mac. Any help would be great, Thanks!

    I installed this driver:
    http://tattiebogle.net/index.php/ProjectRoot/Xbox360Controller/OsxDriver
    And now my MBP reliably recognizes the controller (evident by it showing me what commands it is receiving in the preference pane created by this driver), but I've found that getting an individual game to behave nicely with the controller is a whole other ball of wax...good luck.

  • Hard drive not recognized by M35X-S329 laptop

    My laptop got the Windows Blue Screen and I shut it down. Upon restart, I get a message "PXE-E61" Media Test Failure, check cable. When I enter the BIOS, it does not show a hard drive. I've taken out the hard drive and put it in a USB enclosure case to see if it would read the drive. At this point it doesn't. Is there any hard drive test I can run from startup on the laptop to see if it is indeed a hard drive failure?

    If the BIOS can't see it, there's really no way to test something that isn't 'there'.
    The fact that you can't get it to be recognized in an external case just confirms that it's a dead drive.

  • CD/DVD drive not recognized on my HP laptop

    Hi all, Sorry to post yet another thread on the issue but I've tried just about everything that I've read up on I think.  I have a HP Pavilion DV6809wm, running Vista 32 bit.  I go into Device Manager and there is no Optical drive listed.  I have removed the drive itself, rebooted and reinserted the drive and to no avail.  I looked for lower and upper filters in the registry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} but did not have any to delete.  I also tried running Microsoft Fix-it on my computer and all it could tell me was there was no drive found.  I searched for drivers for my optical drive (HP AD-7560A) but could not install them because there is no drive.  I am up to date on my Windows updates and even uninstalled all of my Sims 3 packs because I thought an update to that was causing a conflict or something.  I found and deleted a SecuRom (?) folder in my registry that someone posted should be deleted that games sometimes install to prevent burning or something, I can't remember.  Still no optical drive.  I'm sure it's a software issue because sometimes (rarely) it does work briefly but then goes unresponsive.  I found that when I manually remove the drive and insert it, it tends to at least open and close but is still not listed in device manager.  I have thought about buying a new drive but am not sure if that will even fix the issue.  Please, any insight would be appreciated at this point!

    im having the same problem with a computer i was given to fix. i still cannot get it to function.. it is completely unresponsive when windows is loaded.. doesnt even eject as if there wasnt any power to the drive.. when i restart the computer i do get power to the drive while bios is loading and i am able to open the tray with the eject button but as soon as the windows logo appears  it becomes completely dead as if there is no power.. i have booted to windows without the drive inserted and then insert the drive and i am able to get the drive to eject via the eject button but it does not read any discs..
    i have tried booting to the OS disc but when i get to the boot menu the only option available is the internal HD.. all settings are correct in bios to boot to the internal drive but never gives me that option..
    I know the dvd drive functions as i tried it in another laptop and it works fine..
    I would like some insight on this as well.. im just starting to believe there is something wrong with it internally on the motherboard or somehing..
    I have also tried booting to an external dvd drive and no luck there either
    I have also updated the bios hoping that would solve the problem but that did not help either.. i have tried the registry trick as well and no luck.. even besides that the drive should boot from bios regardless if something is screwy in the os
