Satellite A300-210 problem with touchpad

My touchpad stop working after reboot.
I checked ctrl +F9 and that not work.
I downloaded new drivers, but old should be ok.
I tried on linux ubuntu and it do not work too.
What should i do?

Hi
> I downloaded new drivers, but old should be ok.
Are you sure that touchpad driver is installed ok?
Please go to device manager, choose Synaptics PS/2 touchpad and delete this from the list.
Then reboot the unit and try to install the touchpad again.
You should also go to control panel -> mouse -> pointing device and should check all the settings there.
To be honest i don't think that this could be an hardware problem... i think it's software releated and therefore you need to check all this settings.

Satellite A300-202 - problems with the AC power

Hi,
I bought a Satellite A300-202 a couple of months ago and I'm having intermittent problems with the AC power.
Sometimes I plug the AC power and it won't start charging (the indicator leds are off and windows says it is on battery). Other times it is charging and suddenly stops.
I suspected it could be the cord broken in the inside but it seems to also happen when no one touches it. Usually, when it stops charging, I unplug it from the wall, wait a few seconds and plug it back in, and it starts charging fine never stopping again.
Anyone got a similar problem? I wonder if is there any way to just replace the AC power parts so I won't have to send the whole laptop for reparing.
Thanks
Pedro

Hi
I never had a problem with my Toshiba chargers but one old non-Toshiba AC adaptor died after 6 month of usage. After the replacement it works without any problems.
I think you should check the BIOS update as mentioned by Akuma but for me it sounds more like a AC adaptor issue.
So if the BIOS update doesnt help, the AC adaptor should be checked definitely.

Problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1. Acer Aspire E5-511

I bought an Acer Aspire E5-511, but I have problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1.The touchpad (Synaptics) is not working with Windows 8.1 x64, but it works fine with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.When I install Windows 8.1 and have to choose” language to install” I can’t choose anything with the touchpad. I should plug in my mouse to continue. I doesn’t work even when it’s fully installed and with latest driver (available only for win 8.1 x64) from Acer’s website. I tried with an older driver, but had no success. I updated BIOS, but it doesn’t work again. In hardware IDS in device manager it shows HID\… not ACPI\… (like win 7/8). Fn+F7 doesn’t help.When I try to install Windows7/8 the touchpad is working properly at the beginning (I can choose ”language to install”, “Time and currency format”… and the touchpad works after install even without driver).

SOLUTION So guys after deep research and troubleshooting I found that you need to keep notice of a few things at time of installation: Installation Mode: UEFI (only)- LEGACY would create touchpad issues. after installation of windows just follow the driver installation hierarchy 1.Intel NB_Chipset_M Baytrail-M 2.Intel I/O Driver then rest of the crap. Note:After doing all this make sure your touchpad is active >> Fn+F7 Just wished if this solution came from an acer executive , the world would have been a better place , but anyways this is what community is for. Enjoy everyone

Satellite A300-20P - Games with Windows 7 not working in full screen

I have Satellite A300-20P and VGA ATI 3650
I made upgrade to Windows 7 Professional
All games working well but not in full screen. I installed the last driver for ATI for Windows 7. It was working in full screen in Vista before I make upgrade.
Same problem on my brother`s laptop after he make upgrade to Windows 7.

Hi
Normally you can change the screen resolution in every game and if they should run in full screen mode or not. Check this!!!
Can you also tell us what display driver you have installed? The drivers from the Toshiba page are for desktop cards and not for mobile cards. So please use only the Toshiba drivers.

Satellite C855D-S5302 problem with win8

I recently bought new Satellite C855D-S5302 after retiring my 12 year old Satellite after excellent service. BUT this new one comes with Windows 8 installed and that is just not cutting it for me.
Often when moving the cursor to the left, the charms screen pops up and the cursor goes nowhere until I click elsewhere. It has frozen several times so I had to restart by holding the power button down, and it doesn´t work as well with my Motorola Razr smartphone as the old XP did. I believe MS are trying to copy the Android OS but they do it terribly. Anyway, I have been searching for a way to downgrade my NEW computer to Windows 7 or something else, but haven´t found a way to do that. And according to Toshiba homepage, this model hasn´t been qualified to run Win8. So what should I do? Return the computer to the supplier? And tell everyone not to buy Toshiba? I´d rather not but I am running out of options.
Is there an Operating system available from Android for this computer?
Please help me.
Oskar

Windows 8 freeze and has software compatibility issues..... on c855d family machines. I have two of them both freeze lock up bought them at Walmart... Downgraded to Windows 7 pro had 5 devices having problems but after Microsoft update ran three long running updates some of them self resolved except for two of them SM bus controller and USB controller... To my confusion the driver seem to have loaded under device manager or installed default or generic drive for that device..... What need is drivers for those devices...Please help
PS.. I AM not impressed with Windows 8 and dont like it hope window 9 is better

The hard drive died on mine after 4 weeks and it is now in Nashville for repair; not costing anything but is a pain. At least I have a win7 Toshiba as backup. I had no problems with the system--think win8 is fine; just takes getting used to.

Satellite L670-153: problem with a 4Gb SONY mass storage

I have a satellite L670-153 laptop with Windows 7 64 bit. When I conect a 4Gb SONY USB mass storage, Windows mount the USB mass storage. But after some minutes, the USB mass storage is unmount and mount and unmount indefinitely.
I update the bios and the chipset driver but I still have the problem.

And what now?
Can you test functionality with other 4GB USB stick? Just to see if other brands will be recognized properly. Does the problem persist when you use it on other PC with the same operating system?
I have 2 SanDisk and 1 Toshiba USB stick and all of them are recognized properly on different notebooks?

Satellite P100-347 - problem with shutdown during gameplay

i have a problem with my Satellite P100-347(pspa6e)
After about 10 minutes playtime with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on.. my pc shuts down...
I suspected it was shutting down because of high gpu or cpu temp...
i could feel that my notebook was hot, but after playing for a while its normal...
so i installed HWmonitor to check my gpu,cpu and hdd temp...
this is what i shows:
THRM: 61.C - 141.F
CPU: core0\1 - both 64.C - 147.F
GPU: runs at stable 85 - 90.C
this at normal use...not games....
HDD: 39.C
Something has to be wrong!! gpu temp has to be too high?!?
i have tried a fresh OS install....
thnx for all answers and help!

Hello
I agree with Akuma. The fact is that suddenly shutdowns are mostly caused by too high temperature and shutdown is actually reaction for ??hardware protection??.
So what you should do is to clean up the cooling grill.
There is just one problem: if this should be done properly the notebook must be disassembled. So the question is how you want to do this?
At the moment, try to place your notebook on higher position, maybe on 4 books to make more distance between the notebook and the desk. I just hope the air circulation will be better and you will be able to play a little bit longer. Please test it and let us know what will happen.

Satellite A300 cpu problem

Hi all, I have got a Satellite A300 running Vista 32-bit
I posted in this forum previously about my reboot loop problem
(http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=77256&stqc=true)
I finally found that my laptop is fine when in safe mode, or when only running on battery
Once I plug in AC power the loop comes back, I saw in another post that disabling both processors in device manager can solve the problem, and it worked for me!
However I would like to do a factory restore since my OS is corrupted quite badly (probably due to virus?), lots of services cannot start and also no internet access
Problem is when I do factory recovery, the processor driver will probably get installed at some point then my laptop will go into the loop again and never able to finish the recovery?
I tried other OS like ubuntu but problem still exist so I am sure it is not OS problem.
So I would like to know:
1. Whats the difference of CPU running mode in safe mode/battery only mode/AC power mode?
2. What does the processor driver do? What happen when I disabled them?
3. Any way to set the CPU mode in BIOS? (so I can keep the recovery process working) (I tried "dynamic/always low" and disable "multi core processing", no help)
I have been trying to fix my laptop for weeks, your help is much appreciated!

> Problem is when I do factory recovery, the processor driver will probably get installed at some point then my laptop will go into the loop again and never able to finish the recovery?
I think this will always happen whether you install the system using recovery disk or clean MS disk.
> 1. Whats the difference of CPU running mode in safe mode/battery only mode/AC power mode?
First of all if you run the notebook is safe mode, only some essential system processes would be load and many non-core components are disabled.
The CPU supports also different power saving modes (C1, C2, C3) in order to save energy
Each CPU has several power modes and they are collectively called C-states or C-modes.
> 2. What does the processor driver do? What happen when I disabled them?
Its an essential system driver. Without the CPU driver, the system would not recognize the CPU properly and the CPU cores.
> . Any way to set the CPU mode in BIOS? (so I can keep the recovery process working) (I tried "dynamic/always low" and disable "multi core processing", no help)
No.
The CPU seems to be the troublemaker and i guess it needs to be replaced

Satellite M70-190 - problem with USB

Hi!
After uninstall Windows XP and BIOS update, i have a problem with USB ports. My USB flash drive does't work. Windows find it as USB flash drive, but i can't find it in "My computer"
So have anyone idea about this problem?
PS External HDD works perfect, as USB mouse, and USB WiMax modem.
Im hoping someone out there can help with this problem.

Is described issue the same on all USB ports?
I mean, I have Satellite M70-159 in front of me and since long time I use 8GB SanDisc and 2GB Toshiba USB stick and both devices are recognized properly.
I still use original Toshiba WXP installation (updated of course).

Satellite P100-202: problems with screen again

Hello everyone! I'm posting about a problem with my Toshiba P100-202's screen. I recently posted in the thread "Satellite P100-202: screen will freeze" and my current problem is actually quite similar to what is explained in the thread "Satellite P100-119: display doesn't work anymore". Here's my story, hoping that someone will be able to help me avoid having to send the computer to a technician:
After my previous problem I decided to get my screen replaced. Everything seemed fine, apart from on occaisonal instances, especially when I was using the program "Internet Explorer", in which the screen would sort of restart, ie. everything went black for a few seconds (music etc. however would continue) and then (boom) everything would reappear, sometimes in ultra-zoom for a second or two. The computer (operating system=Windows 7) would report "problem with NVIDIA graphics driver", and then operations would continue normally. This happened several times, although not frequently, and I wasn't too worried about it. And then, a few days ago, I was using the newest release candidate of Internet Explorer 9, and the screen blacked out, and my music continued, and I thought "OK, no problem", and then a few seconds passed, and then the music stopped (and I was thinking "uh-oh"), and then... the blue screen of death.
OK, no panic, restart, but of course there's no welcome note, no nothing, just a blank screen which with the backlights still working created an ominous greyish hue. And then suddenly the mouse appeared, followed by the entire display, so I unwisely dismissed the incident. Ten minutes later, same thing, and this time not even the blue screen of death as consolement, just the grey nothingness.
A few days of rest, a quick dusting of the battery compartment, but no, even though I believe the operating system is working fine (caps lock light works and little hums and whirrs occur as usual), there is no question about the fact that the screen does not work.
PS. Sorry if my post is too long and no, I do not have access to an external display!!
While I'm at it, is anyone able to explain why a 25-minute lasting battery can take hours or even days to charge?

Thanks for your super-fast reply, as***! Unfortunately I fell asleep just before you posted. Anyway, indeed I was not expecting a manual fix to be available, so I'll see if I can find the installation disk in my ocean of cd-roms, and if that doesn't work I'll call up on a mechanic, see what they say (nowadays the most common answer is "rien faire", however I have a half-friend in the job who might be able to elaborate further), and in the event, give up on this one and go and buy a brand new and - as they now all are - webcam equipped laptop or netbook as you call them (and preferably not a Toshiba, either, unless you can convince me that 1. The battery no longer lasts a mere third-of-an-hour after three years of usage and 2. The screens are built to last a good ten years). After all, I've always been unlucky with electronics. The problem is however, how will I get all my files moved, knowing that the best form of back-up I have is a long-lost USB key?
PS. Keep me updated if you get any more information on a possible immediate cure!

Satellite L30: Vista problems with pages minimising

Hi,
i have just bought the toshiba Satellite L30 laptop and i am am having problems with pages minimising whenever i click on the page. Most of the time this happens when i click on the scroll bar, but it also happens when i click on any part of the page and when im typing.
It's getting very annoying. I have only had this laptop for about 2 weeks and the problem has been there since day one. Im runing Windows vista home basic.
Does anyone know the cause and/or how to sort it out?

Hi there,
be more precisely with your error description, because its hard for anyone whos reading this to find out some problems without knowing which "pages" do you mean. What a kind of program do you use?? Word, Internet Explorer or what???
Please, do us and yourself a favor and tell the problem with more details, that we can maybe help you. Or at least make some thoughts about your problem. :)
Greetings ;)

Does Satellite A300-15C comes with Vista DVD

Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-15C to some queries:
Is this kind comes with Windows Vista DVD?

Hi
The newest Toshiba notebooks seem to be delivered with the Toshiba HDD image.
This means that the Vista and all other drivers, tools and utilities are already preinstalled on the HDD and the image is placed on another partition.
You can burn this image on the DVD to get a Recovery DVD.
As Im not mistaken there should be preinstalled Toshiba software called Recovery Disk Creator. This tool can be used to create a Recovery DVD.
So once again; the notebooks are not delivered with the Vista DVD.

Satellite A500-1GH problem with video card (I think...)

Hello,
I am having a problem with my A500-1GH. Randomly the monitor goes black and then recovers by showing a message "display driver stopped responding and has successfully recovered". My graphics card is the Nvidia GeForce 330. I read a lot, but all the opinions were old - from the beginning if the year, and no one seems to had solved this problem then. Do you know if now there is a solution for this?
The laptop is brand new (respectively the windows is brand new) and the drivers and bios are up to date.
Thank you in advance :)

hi,
Yeah, it is known problem with vga driver in this forum. As you already said yourself no one seems to had solved this problem :( I can just recommend you to try to install a vga driver from nvidia.com. In my case, i have nvida Gt 230 M, driver update solved it.

Satellite Pro C650D - Problems with audio and game controllers

Hi,
I have recently had problems with my microphone and speakers/headphones as well as game controllers.
The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype for example, but most of the time works fine again when I restart the pc.
The speakers are sometimes still working when I plug in headphones.
Some of the sounds are still coming through the speakers where as some coming through the headphones.
I have a usb game controller which also did not work any more properly.
If I assign the buttons in the program they do not work in the game.
All these device are in the device manager in one group which makes me think that it is some kind of dodgy annoying update that messes around with them.
Does any body have similar problems or know what to do best?
Cheers
Laurin

Hi
Can you please post some details about the notebook model and the system you are using?
Regarding the sound/mic issue:
>The microphone sometimes stops working when on Skype for example, but most of the time works fine again when I restart the pc.
Are you talking about internal or external mic? Does this happen only using Skype?
In your case I would test the mic using different applications to ensure that this is not a Skype related issue.
>The speakers are sometimes still working when I plug in headphones.
I recommend checking this thread:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=65295
The user has had an similar issue but this was related to settings in Realtek HD Audio Manger.

+In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings" in my version.+
+There, I could finally reactivate the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in".+
+So now when I plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.+
Regarding the game controller:
>I have a usb game controller which also did not work any more properly.

I dont think its notebook problem in my opinion you should ensure that the controller is compatible with games you are playing and would also recommend checking some info providing by manufacturer of the game controller.

Satellite P100-387: Problems with graphics mode swithing on new nVidia

*Looking for help!*
_I have recently installed nVidia drivers from toshiba site (84.00) and since than my system has severe problems with changing graphical modes when starting applications in pre-determined mode (such as 800x600)._
This problem affects my son mostly, as all older games are trying to run in 'Full screen mode' that fails to initialise properly.
Also I have noticed that in dxdiag the option about DirecrDraw settings shows that it is completely not supported by my graphic card acceleration.
Any ideas on how to resolve the problem desperately needed.
Relevant nformation:
Graphic card - nVidia GeForce GO 7600 driver: 6.14.0010.8400
System Memory - 3MB
O/S - Win XP Professional 5.1 build 2600

Have you installed the latest BIOS?
You could try reverting back to the original driver, it should be in C:\TOSAPINS. Or just Rollback the driver in Device Manager. Or revert back to a previous System Restore Point.
