Satellite A100-784: Cannot find a FN combination to control sound volume

Hello I just purchased this laptop but I cannot find the Fn combination, which increases or decreases the volume
of the sound.
Anyone who can help me?

Hi
You cannot find this FN function because it does not exist!
You have to use the Volume control dial at the notebook front side!!!

Satellite A100-784 - Connect to TV via HDMI cable

Hi Friends,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-784 PSAANE laptop. Its a discontinued product now :-( I am just wondering If I can connect that laptop with Sony Bravia LED TV through HDMI cable.
I am not able to find If the laptop is compatible for it.
Please help me a way to find a solution to connect it to the LED TV and how to do it? Please also help with the cables required for the same.
Sorry guys I am quite naive to the HDMI business.
Thanks for all the help,
regards,
Meghal

> I am just wondering If I can connect that laptop with Sony Bravia LED TV through HDMI cable.
You cannot do that because the notebook does not support HDMI.
As far as I know your LCD TV should support the VGA or s-video interface.
So you can purchase a VGA cable or s-video cable to get the notebook connected.
You should read the user manual or your TV and notebook to get more details about connection possibilities.

Windows XP LAN driver needed for my Satellite A100-784

I bought Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista. I've removed Vista and installed Windows XP (taken from other non-Toshiba notebook)) and then SP2. Now I can't use the internet because there's no LAN driver. The drivers downloaded from this Toshiba site don't work.
Any solution for me? I expect other problems to appear soon, with the sound and so on. Isn't there any pack of drivers for this model with WinXP?
(I'd be very happy to get a quick restore disk with Windows XP in English but customer support won't provide any.)

Hi
Your A100 unit belongs to the PSAANE series.
Toshiba European website provides two different XP Intel Lan driver versions:
1. Intel LAN driver 8.0.43.0
2. Intel LAN driver 9.2.24
The first one 8.0.43.0 was designed for LAN Pro100 and the other 9.2.24 for LAN Pro1000
Additionally I would recommend following the guidelines described in the installation instruction! The drivers must be installed in the right order.
Please also take a look into another thread about the same theme:

Satellite L300D-11V cannot find a WLAN network

Ok,
I have 2 x Satellite L300D-11V series laptop and both are having the same problem: they are not detecting my wireless network in my house but I have proved the wireless hub by using a third PC (HP) and works perfectly,
Ive checked the wireless switch is on and done the FN+F8 key but it still cannot find a network. I've checked the devices in the Network adaptors and it finds Realtek RTL8102E Family PCI-E Fast Ethernet NIC but this is a LAN card isn't it?
Other devices show an Unknown Device but where would I find the Wireless device?

Hello
I don't know what kind of stories you heard in both shops but the fact is that Toshiba offers notebooks with WLAN card inside. All these notebooks are delivered with preinstalled operating system (recovery image) and have factory settings.
This recovery image contains operating system, all necessary drivers (including WLAN driver), Toshiba designed tools and utilities and some additional software. So if you buy new notebook with preinstalled OS the WLAN driver is there.
The statement from both shops is either misinformation or there is some misunderstanding.
Hi John
Im glad to hear your problem is solved now. just for info: WLAN card in your notebook is REALTEK 802.11(B/G) 13CH-RTL8187B.
Bye

Satellite L770 - I cannot find an adobepdf.dll

Hello
I've just taken delivery of a L770 laptop and am now busy installing my programs.
Adobe Acrobat Professional v8.00 asks for adobepdf.dll to be installed from the Windows Vista CD-Rom, which I don't have because this laptop has Windows 7 Home edition 64 bit installed.
I cannot find an adobepdf.dll on this computer, nor rather worryingly can I find any cab files. I did not receive a windows cd as I did with my first Toshiba laptop many years ago - am I now stuck?
I thought that all computers had to have the windows files supplied?
regards
Denise

Of course you cannot be happy with that but adobepdf.dll is not a part of the Windows OS and the Acrobat Pro was not a part of the image so I assume the Acrobat Pro has to be installed once again in order to include this
Did you check the solution provided by Adobe?
Did you check the link above?
*Solution for Windows 7 64-bit*
+Manually extract the file "adobepdf.dll_64" from the data1.cab file before installing Acrobat. When the prompt appears, navigate to this file and select it.+
+1. Navigate to the folder that contains the setup.exe file for your Acrobat 8 installation.+
+2. Locate the file "data1.cab" and open it (this may require a third party compression utility, such as WinZip).+
+3. Inside the content listings, locate the file "adobepdf.dll_64" and copy it to your desktop.+
+4. Run the installer setup.exe and when the prompt appears, choose browse and select the file you copied to the desktop.+
+Note: If the file cannot be selected, change the file type drown down in the dialog box to "Files of All Types", or rename the file to "adobepdf.dll" by removing "_64" from the end of the file extension.+

Satellite L500-1XD - cannot find an update for PC health monitor

This TBS advises updates to PC health monitor and HDD/SDD alert.
HDD/SDD alert has a published update in the relevant downloads section but I cannot find an update for PC health monitor.
Any one got any bright ideas ?
Otherwise this seems quite a balanced system.

Hi Paolo30,
Thanks for your contribution. I agree with your model designation
I would like to download ver 1.5.6.0 but it does not seem to be listed on the download list (Two and a quarter pages long) for the L500-1XD on the Toshiba-Europe website. I am using I.E.8
Where are you seeing this listed ? Could you give me a URL please ?
It is an important update as it resolves a conflict between video streaming from HD and SMART HD messages as described in the TSB.
The only upgrade that is tagged as 1.5.6.0 is the Bullitin Board and this does not sound like the correct type of application. There was obviously a major update on 21/6/2010 there are 30 odd updates with that date.
Kindest Regards

Satellite A65-S126: Cannot find the RTC battery

I have my machine turn down but cannot find the batteries to replace them. Based on Toshiba support the P/N are P000444350 but there is no such item in the case that I can see. Any ideas..?
Even the disassembly manuals online do not show them.
I know there must be something in here.
Also according to the operation manual these batteries take power from the main battery.
Since my main battery is completely dead, would this account for the time snyc issue I'm having with the RTC batteries; since they are not getting power to recharge??

Sorry for my misunderstanding but what battery do you mean exactly.
Do you mean the main battery or the tiny RTC battery which is fixed on the motherboard?!
> Also according to the operation manual these batteries take power from the main battery.
This is not exactly right.
The RTC battery provides power to the motherboard therewith the internal clock and the BIOS can run 24/7.
It does no matter if the main battery is empty. The RTC should provide the power to motherboard for several times also if the main battery is empty.
If the RTC battery is empty the motherboard cannot be provided with power and the internal clock, BIOS will be reset.
In such case you have to connect the main battery and the AC adaptor to the notebook and let the battery charge for about 12 hours.
For details please check the user manual -> battery chapter
best regards

Does Satellite A100-784 have an internal microphone?

I do not know if my A100-784 has an internal microphone, I tried talking on skype, yahoo messenger but is useless, nobody can hear me but i can hear them clearly talking to me.
Can anyone tell me is my laptop has or not an internal microphone?
Thanks.

Hi there,
I just googled for your type and I found out, that your machine has no internal microphone. You will have to connect a external microphone to your machine to speak over skype.
So I hope your question is answered.

Satellite A100-590 - cannot install Display Driver for Win7

I installed Win7 on my Satellite A100-590 (PSAA9E-03Z00QGR) today. Everything works fine exept for the display drivers.
I downloaded the win7/32bit drivers from here: [here|http://at.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=AT&BV_UseBVCook ie=yes&PRODUCT_ID=115970] But when I try to install them, the files extract and then nothing happens.
Anybody else have this problem or even better a solution? will any other drivers work on that laptop?
edit: graphic card is a ATI Mobility Radeon X1600

Extract the files into some new created folder. Open it and use setup.exe.
What happen when you start it manually using setup.exe?
You can also try to start setup in folder Bin.

Satellite A100 PSAA8E: Cannot boot from USB after Bios update

Hi
I downloaded the latest bios (v6) for my satellite a100 (psaa8e) and after updating the old bios, I noticed I can't boot from USB. Is there a way to restore the old bios or will this problem be solved?
Cheers
mo

I used to press F12 after restart and choose from USB. After downloading the bios, the system refuses to boot from the USB (external CD drive). However, if I place the same CD into the unit's CD drive, and choose boot from CD after pressing F12, the unit boots fine. This only happened after the bios update.
Thanx

Satellite A100-237: I do not have the Catalyst Control Center after driver installation

Hello,
I use a Satellite A100-237 laptop. 1.83 GHz Core Duo, Ati Mobility Radeon X1600 512MB Hypermemory, 1.5GB DDR2 RAM.
My laptop now seems to use only the own 256 MB RAM (Graphic card's own RAM).
I purchased Need for Speed Carbon and installed it to my laptop.
When I tried to open the game, a blue screen appeared for less than 1 seconds, and than system restarted. Windows said that that was a critical error and a driver stopped Windows XP to operate, therefore system is restarted.
I searched in the net for this problem and, people said that, when they updated the driver the problem is solved.
I downloaded Display driver 8.241 (download file name: display_xp-8241.zip) from toshiba-europe.com.
Driver installed but while installing ATI Catalyst Control Center, at a point the installation process stoped continuing. I had to end the task after a while.
It said that driver is installed and system must be restarted.
Now the game works, thats not the problem, however I do not have the Catalyst Control Center. (Where I recently use it for connecting other screens to my laptop)
How can I solve this problem?
Sorry for long letter,
Thanks for helps.

You may run the driver installer again, use the custom installation option and select Catalyst Control Center only. Alternatively, you may remove the entire driver and try re-installing again. I suggest you also download the notebook driver package from ATI's website instead of Toshiba, as their drivers are usually more up-to-date (although it might be less safe to use them, I don't know).
And BTW, I have the same notebook and I have failed to see an option to set the machine to use the VRAM *only* instead of borrowing from RAM whenever necessary. Any ideas?

I want to uninstall Mozilla Firefox but I cannot find add-ons remove in control panel

Hello,
After being infected with Virus, Mozilla started messing up.
So i decided to uninstall the program,but at my surprise i cannot find any add-ons Mozilla firefox in Control panel, so where do i go from here.
Can you tell me any ohter of uninstalling it without having to go to add-ons.
== User Agent ==
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 3.0.4506.2152; .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

See [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox Uninstalling Firefox - MozillaZine Knowledge Base]
It contains instructions on how to manually remove Firefox if the uninstaller does not work.
Could the virus have infected your profile folder (location where Firefox stores bookmarks, passwords, cookies and other user data), if it has you may want to remove the profile folder as well, but will lose all of your user data.

Controlling sound volume in Finder

I've recently changed from Panther to Snow Leopard.
On Panther I could control the sound volume of music files (and play them from any point in time) within Finder. On SL, pressing the space bar brings up something to play the music from any point, but without a volume control.
I often need to play music quieter than is possible with keyboard controls alone, so have been opening the files in Quicktime, iTunes or Garageband - which each have their drawbacks.
Does anyone have a better solution, preferably within Finder?

Thank you very much for your suggestion. I find that I can reduce the volume by three clicks beyond the normal keyboard, but no further - so not as far as in Quicktime or iTunes. This is certainly a help, but I would still like to go quieter if possible?
(It is often for music recorded say from a singing lesson and input from an external device, but not necessarily to save on the computer. Or I may have saved it, but don't want it in the iTunes library... etc)

Satellite Pro 6000: Cannot find correct WLAN driver

Hi,
I have re-installed Windows Xp on my notebook Satellite Pro 6000. All is working except for the wireless connectivity.
When looking in the device manager, I see that the WLAN driver has not (or incorrectly) been installed.
So looked at the Toshiba site for the corresponding drivers, but I am not able to find the correct one. I did found some drivers, which seems to be the one, but unfortunately after installing the drivers, the wireless connectivity is still not available.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards, Robert

Hi
I dont believe that you cannot install the Wlan driver.
Go to the device manger and find out which Wlan card was installed. (check properties)
If the WLan card is placed under network adapters so the driver was installed properly.
But if you see a unknown device in device manager so you need the WLan driver.
Then download the WLan driver from the Toshiba site. Be sure that you use the right driver for the right OS!
You can try firstly to uninstall the old driver and then to install the new one.
