Satellite A500-132 (PSAM3E) Speakers crackling

Hello!
I know the problem is exist with other Satellite models, but the newest nVidia drivers solved it.
This model has ATI 4650 graphics accellarator and I tried 9.9, 9.10, 9.11, 9.12 driver and not working.
On other sites I read that this problem could be caused by the C2D CPUs C4 state but we can't disable this in the BIOS because isn't there any options.
So we need to fix this C4 state problem, or ATi HDMI Audio Driver have conflict with Realtek HDMI...

I agree with Szaby59. I have the same issue. I also tried to update the graphic driver to the one found on the Toshiba site, and to the latest one with the mobility modder, and I also tried to update the sound driver. But these don't help. Anyway yes, I didn't try to download twenty version from each driver, and the combine these together, maybe there's one combination which works. I think it's not a solution. The machine should work properly with the latest drivers.

    Hi, mate

  • "Touch" buttons no longer work on Satellite A500-14L

    Hi,
    I am owner of Satellite A500-14L (PSAM3E).
    I noticed today that the buttons for switching to ECO mode, or turning keyboard's lights on and off are no longer working, however, witching those settings via Toshiba assist utilities works perfectly.
    I did *not* reconfigure the buttons usage. I was wondering if there was an easy way to "restore" their default functionnalities...
    Thanks by advance !!
    (Already tried shutdown / restart / delog-relog things)

    Unfortunately, reinstalling toshiba VAP did not solve the problem.
    Here's another strange thing:
    -I tried to assign different programs to both the eco and the 'lights' buttons with toshiba button setting program
    -when I then touch a button, it "reacts", which means it beeps, or even blinks for the "light" button, but nothing happens. I mean really nothing, whichever program or file I assign to the button...
    This make me think that the buttons themselves are not faulty, since they beep and blink. What seems to be faulty is the "pipe" that lies behind that step.
    Thanks for any other help you may give ! And thanks for your answers that were usefull anyway...

  • Satellite A500 PSAM3A - Can I install a backlit keyboard?

    Hello,
    i have a Toshiba Satellite A500 laptop with the following numbers i can find: P7350 part number PSAM3A-04200E serial number- 79365650K.
    I would like to install a backlit keyboard onto it,
    Is this model compatible?"

    Hi
    Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E seems to belong to Toshiba Australian notebook series.
    In order to use a backlit keyboard, the motherboard needs to provide a special connector/port for keyboard illumination cable.
    You could get some details from a Toshiba ASP in Australia
    www.mytoshiba.com.au
    But I found some parts retailer and many of them provides keyboards W/O BACKLIGHT

  • Satellite A500 PSAM3E - Windows 7 upgrade fails - Error code: 0x80070570

    I am installing the win7 upgrade on my Satellite A500 PSAM3E and when I reach in the Expanding windows files it stop and a message pop up:
    *(Windows cannot install required files. The file may be corrupt or missing. Make sure all files required for installation are available, and restart the installation. Error code: 0x80070570). *
    Installation stop and I could not do anything, I restarted the upgrade but still the same.
    I have just received my DVD win7 upgrade from Toshiba, is the DVD corrupted or some other issues, before the installation a message appears that I should uninstall ATI Catalyst install and ATI catalyst control panel.
    Needs help from expert who have already done the upgrade.

    Hi
    > before the installation a message appears that I should uninstall ATI Catalyst install and ATI catalyst control panel.
    And why you didnt do this?
    Maybe you are running an older version of the display drivers and so you have to uninstall them before you can start the upgrade.
    Check this!!
    After the successful upgrade you can install the newest display driver version from the Toshiba page.
    By the way: Here you can find a step by step upgrade:

  • Satellite A500 - Flash Cards don't work after Windows 7 upgrade

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite A500 PSAM3A-04200E. Recently I did an upgrade from Vista to Win 7. I used my system restore disks to reinstall Vista and then did the upgrade to Windows 7 using the upgrade assistant.
    I find that I can no longer use the Fn key to enable/disable features..
    I have tried downloading the VAP and running it. I have also tried the Start->Toshiba->Utilities->Restart Flash Cards. Neither of these have worked even after a restart...
    Can anyone give me some pointers on what to do next?
    Thanks

    Hi buddy,
    If you have already reinstalled Toshiba Value Added Package, you should also (re)install Flash Cards Support Utility. This tool controls the FN keys and is necessary to get them working.
    You can download it on official Toshiba website:
    www.mytoshiba.com.au

  • Satellite A500-19x - Suddenly blue screen appears in Windows 7

    I have satellite a500-19x,
    There are one problem every time and every days when i working.
    Suddenly the windows stopped for several moments then blue screen and restart windows .

    hi,
    if you want to update your Bios, go to the Toshiba driver page and choose the appropriate Bios version for you model. Download it and run. Don't forget to close all the running programs, disable Antivirus, Firewall before running it. Then, you will be asked to restart the computer. Pray that Bios process would occur properly otherwise you will have blank screen on startup. In this case, you will have to contact TASP (Toshiba authorized service provider).
    To be honestly, I don't recommend you to flash the Bios, in your case it doesn't help your in audio crackling and BSOD. I updated my BIos but it didn't fix the problem. I think, it's graphic driver issue.You can go to the nvidia.com and download a new graphic card driver released recently. Install it and check. I also had audio crackling and the system freezing that gone after updating that driver. Note, that driver isn't pretested by Toshiba (not modified for overheating protection, anyway the users say this in the forum) but install it at my own risk and still have no problems.

  • Satellite A500 - Battery light flashes when connected to mains power

    Win 7 Satellite A500 PSAM3A-03P00E.
    The battery light flashes when connected to mains power (intermittent fault), when I unplug mains and re-connect flashing stops and battery (high capacity) continues to charge.
    Also when battery light flashes the key board back lighting stays on when it should blank out and if the back lighting is off and the battery light starts flashing the key board back lighting doesn't turn on, all other functions seem to work fine.
    The battery charges and holds charge as it should (when light flashes battery doesn't charge).

    Hi
    Did you notice this issue from first day of purchase?
    Theoretically it could be possible that your battery starts to malfunction
    At the other hand an electronic issue might be possible too
    However, try this:
    Remove ac adaptor and battery. Then press and hold power buttons 30 sec long.
    Then insert the battery and connect AC adaptor again does it helps?
    By the way: is BIOS up to date? If not, perform an update.

  • Satellite A500-14I - ATI CCC entry is missing

    Hi,
    I got a Toshiba Satellite A500-14l with a radeon mobility HD4650.
    I replace Vista by Windows 7 in september 2009 (thank's to msdnaa), installed the latest driver I found. Few month pass, I decided to update my graphic driver. As you can see, there is no updated driver for Windows 764bit for my laptop model psam3e.
    http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=FR give me ati driver 8.563.1.5 or 8.634.1
    I wanted to try catalyst 10.7 (8.753) to use ati acceleration with vlc 1.1.1, so I cheat, I pretend my laptop was a L670-psk3ee to get a 8.712.2.1 version of catalyst.
    That works great, and this is the only way i found to get an "almost" up-to-date driver. Then I installed the Hydravision from game.amd.com website (because it's not included in toshiba driver).
    Now, the CCC entry in the right click is missing, and the hydravision tab is missing in CCC too. I never see this problem before, so if anyone have a idea...
    Thank's in advance.
    PS:
    * Using Windows 7 64bit, up-to-date, except ati driver due to toshiba policy.
    * ccc mean Catalyst control center. the shortcut in "all programs" runs fine.
    * Hydravision is a usefull tools to manage multi desk and display. As there is no entry in the CCC i can't configure it, but the multi-desk exe works fine too.
    Everything runs fine on my computer (not the laptop), so I think the problem came from Toshiba driver (as AMD can't provide the generic one due to specific functionnality added by toshiba, like temperature monitoring & cie). So I'm interesting in the possibility to add CCC in the right-click menu, and add the Hydravision tab to CCC.
    ps 2: I already desinstall - clean the registry - reinstall Ati driver & hydravision, it doesn't work.

    Because it's solve bug and add feature ? Try to tell ati/nvidia & microsoft to stop updating theirs programs because it's useless, i'm sure they 'll have a good laught.
    By the way :
    10.7a : add AA in starcraft2.
    10.7 : add gpu accelerationfor VLC
    10.6: GPU acceleration of H.264 video content using Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Video De-blocking support, Mosquito noise reduction, Official support for OpenGL 4.0 and OpenGL 3.3
    10.5 : Support for 120 Hz displays on the ATI Radeon HD 4000 Series and ATI Radeon HD 3000 Series
    10.4 : H.264 Level 5.1 support,
    10.3: ATI Catalyst support for 3D Stereoscopic glasses (one day maybe, it'll be checked)
    Without forgetting all improvement...
    So yes, it's not always necessary, but if you can update it times to times (ie when you reinstall windows), it's not a so bad idea...
    The "official" driver for my laptop is a catalyst 9.11 like.
    But the main matter is still the missing entries. I'll try to bypass toshiba driver, too bad for the warranty : i prefer to use a little more the GPU, and little les the CPU.

  • Satellite A500 Issues (graphics Card freezes when Gaming)

    Hi Everyone hoping you can help!!
    I recently purchased my Satellite A500 Laptop and I have 2 extremley bad issues!!!
    Firstly apparently my model number doesnt exist it is PSAM3A-04100E which is proving to be a right royal pain in the preverbial when it comes to upgrading to windows 7!
    Secondly is my major issue,
    I do a lot of gaming (sims 3, Callof Duty that sort of thing...) and whenever I am playing I think wow this is great excellent fps great graphics and then FREEZE!!! my computer completley locks up and shuts down, no warning signs of lagging slowing down or anything and it does it constantly!!!
    I was wondering if anyone else is suffering from this problem or whether I look should look for a driver update I have searched around but cant seem to find it anywhere.
    I dont really want to take it back to the shop because then I wont have a compuer for weeks!
    Any help would be massively appreciated,
    Many thanks
    Tasman

    >PSAM3A-04100E
    Where you bought your notebook? What is the country of purchase?
    New Zealand maybe?
    Please visit http://www.toshiba.com.au/ > New Zealand and you should find your notebook model there but as I can see Win7 drivers are not available at the moment.
    Next week I will get my Satellite A500 and I will test it with Call of Duty 4 and let you know how it works.
    Anyway before you start the game stop all useless running processes and set power plan to full power. Be also sure your notebook can take a breath and cooling fans are not blocked somehow. Put also back side of your notebook on two CD boxes to have higher distance between notebook and the desk.
    I hope everything will works well.

  • After BIOS update Intel Speed Step not working on Satellite A500

    I upgraded my Satellite A500 PSAM3E model to the newest BIOS 1.50, now the Intel speed step not working!
    My CPU is always 2GHz+, I chagned Power Plan to balanced, but no change... with previous the CPU was around 800 MHz.
    When I try to change Windows 7 power management and set maximum CPU performance to 50 or 80% the system freezes.

    Hey Szaby59,
    Which older BIOS version did you use before update to 1.50?
    I also use the maximum CPU performance option for Eco mode (50%) but this does work properly.
    Furthermore it would be interesting to know if you use factory settings or your own Windows installation. Normally after using Toshiba recovery disk you dont have to install any Toshiba tools anymore. Everything is preinstalled on your notebook.

  • When does the Satellite A500 comes out in Europe?

    Hi everyone,
    I wanted to know if anyone knew when will the Satellite A500 come out in Europe (France more particularly) because I was going to buy the A300D-219 ( [http://www.cdiscount.com/informatique/ordinateurs-pc-portables/toshiba-satellite-a300d-219/f-107092212-PSAHCE01U00LFR.html?search=toshiba&trilist=0&numpa ge=1] )
    But if the A500 comes out in 1 month it maybe doesn't worth it, I need it for my studies, so for september...
    Thanks !

    Well I have to admit it is beautiful! The specifications can be found here: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A500-134/1070179/]
    It is a powerful machine. The harman/kardon speakers sound very nice and clear compared to their size (they dont give you bass of course) Wireless is perfect, no connection losses. It is not warming. 32 and a 64 bit version Vista.
    Some probably negative comments:
    - the position of the intake vent is at the bottom
    - no S-video port (only VGA and HDMI) so I can not connect it to my CRT tv set :(
    - battery time is not so long
    - I hoped the keyboard has backlit, but I was wrong

  • Satellite A500 - Upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 error

    I'm trying to upgrade my Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Home Premium via the Toshiba Upgrade Assistance so it will automatically download some Toshiba's utilites and software. At the start of launching it, an error message "This model does not support upgrade to Windows 7" at the 'Download Window 7 Component List' step and can't continue. I'm confused as this as the Win7 Upgrade disc that I purchased and recieved at the start of the year from Toshiba website. I have a Satellite A500 that i've purchased late last year. It's not an old model and I believe it was able to upgrade to window 7.
    I had managed to do a clean installation once a while back but realised all the Toshiba's things weren't there no more so then I recovered it back to Vista (but instead of the initial 32bit, I've changed it to 64bit). So now it's operating on a 64bit Vista.
    I'm not sure if changing it from 32bit to 64bit has anything to do with it or if there's something I need to install before I upgrade....I followed the steps on the Toshiba website to upgrade but stuck at this step. I'm not good with computers so much help would be greatly appreciated and Thanks in advance.

    As far as I know with this upgrade kit you can upgrade 32bit and also 64bit system so this is definitely not the problem.
    Toshiba upgrade kit has two medias. Upgrade DVD and so called composite disc that contains drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities. Upgrade must be started with this composite disc and not directly with upgrade DVD.
    Please start upgrade with software disc and just follow the menu on the screen. It will scan the system and offer the list which software must be removed from the system before upgrade installation can be started.

  • Satellite A500-1DU - What is HDD max capacity

    Hello,
    I have to re-install the factory installed Win 7 on my Satellite A500-1DU because I am not able to install SP1.
    The cause is that the product information inside Win 7 is missing.
    Regarding this I like to install a new HDD with more capacity (current 400gb).
    Which HDD can I install and what is the max capacity (1TB, 750gb)?
    BIOS is current.
    Any hint is welcome.
    Thank you in advance

    Hi
    From my knowledge there is no limitation in HDD capacity since the SATA controller is used and the SATA controller should support more than 400GB.

Maybe you are looking for
