Satellite A500-1DU - USB latency issue

Hi all.
I have problems with the latency of my USB. No matter what I plug in audio interface. It always comes back dropouts.
Please help

What to say windows OS uses the own Microsoft USB drivers there are no other drivers for update
To be honest, I have no experience with any USB audio interfaces but as mentioned by Paolo, the USB ports are standard common USB ports which are available on notebooks and I think the issue might be related to the audio interfaces which you are using
Should get in contact with the manufacturer of such audio parts and should ask for details and how to avoid this.

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.

Satellite A500-14K - USB key not recognized with Windows 7

I have a Toshiba Satellite A500 14K, it was pre-installed for Windows 7.
I have purchased the Windows 7 upgrade: I received one disk for PC upgrade et one disk for windows upgrade. I have launched the first disk, and then the second one.
There was no special error message during these installations.
Since this upgrade, my PC doesn't recognized the USB keys whereas they work perfectly with the previous windows version with this pc .They are normally plug and play usb keys. When I launched the windows update, a driver is found, but the installation failed in error with a message of access problem.
I have check that the firewall doesn't block the access. I have installed the last version of the BIOS
I don't found any similar pb on the forum
thank you for your help

Not BIOS update but chipset utility.
Problem is that this notebook model is not supported for Windows 7 32bit but for 64bit only.
The same chipset is used on Satellite L500 and it is supported for Windows 7 32 bit so you can try to install THIS chipset utility.

Satellite L20E - external USB numpad issue

Hi,
I have problem with my Satellite L20E - when I connect external USB numpad, it does interfere with computer's keyboard.
I would like it to work independentaly (i.e. "J" on my regular keyboard as a "J" and "1" on my external numpad as "1"), but when I turn the numpad's numlock on, it also enables the numeric block on the regular keyboard (i.e. when I press the "J" it returns "1") - on my previous Satellite 1410-903 this worked fine.
This bug really bothers me, because I need to enter large amounts of numbers.
Thank you for any advice.

Hi,
thank you for the hint - I know about the Fn+F11 of course, and it works as a num lock switch just fine, the problem is, that it is this "Fn" combination is "connected" with the external numpad's num lock key as well...
In other words, the problem remains - it is impossible to have NumLock ON on the external numpad and numlock OFF on the main keyboard of the laptop.
And again - this way it worked with my previous Satellite laptop that I had (Satellite 1410-802). And this way it works on any other laptop that I've seen.
Thank you.

Satellite C660D-10P - USB Connect issue Windows 7 64bit

Hello!
USB drive is no longer recognized shortly after the start.
According to "Unsubscribe" or "Change user" again OK, but even for a short time.
Have no USB Updat found at Toshiba, a controller failure will probably be.
Can anyone help?
Greetings Harald

Hi Harald
Can you please tell us which notebook model do you have?
Do you use original OS version that you got with your notebook?
Maybe I didnt understand your problem description but I presume USB ports are not working on your Satellite notebook? Right? have you tested it with different USB devices?
When you open device manager can you see some unknown devices there or some hardware problems?

I've updated the drivers directly from Nvidia, as I have the Geforce GT 330M, this has stopped the error message from appearing, but the screen still goes blank. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve this?
Also, a seperate little question, sometimes my laptop will automatically resume from hibernation (I don't use sleep mode) when I open the lid, without pressing the power button. However, most of the time this will not happen, and I have to press the power button instead. Why will the computer do this sometimes, but not others? Can anyone tell me how to get the laptop to turn on by just opening the lid, 100% of the time?
Thank you for your advice.

Hi
Regarding the black screen issue;
You used the driver from nVidia this is not advisable due to the missing overheating protection. You should use the driver from the Toshiba page.
Please check also if the BIOS is up to date.
If newer BIOS is available, please update this I read in some threads that this could help to solve such issues
Regarding the automatically resume from hibernation;
You should check in BIOS if the Wake up on LAN and Wake up on keyboard options are disabled. If both or only one is enabled, then disabled this, save the changes in BIOS and reboot the unit
Good luck

How to boot from usb flash drive on Satellite A500-o25

How do you configure boot order on A500-o25 so that it boots from usb drive first.

Hi,
Enter the Bios, pressing F2 on startup, go to the Boot menu and choose Usb drive as the first boot device (you navigate with F5 and F6 keys). Press F10, and ..Save and Exit menu ,, appears, press ok. That's all.
Note, on my satellite A500, I have to connect the Usb flash before to turn computer on, otherwise the usb flash drive doesn't appear in boot menu in Bios

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.

Satellite A500 - Power issues while gaming

I was wondering if any Satellite A500 users were having the same problem as me. I have had my Laptop about 10 months and for the last 2 months I have been getting realy bad heating issues with my laptop. I have tried everything from cleaning the laptop with a air can to purchasing a under cooling fan product to try and stop the shut downs during game play but no luck.
I am getting to a point were I think its time to throw the laptop back at toshiba and ask for either a replacement or a new laptop as after spending nearly 700 for the Gamers laptop its just not up to scratch.
Any help would be most appreciated as I am getting to the end of my patience with it. Its now shut down while playing Aliens Vs Predators in direct x 11 and Lord of the Rings Online and Supreme Commander 2 to name but a few.
Also I was watching a DVD useing the HDMI port and it did it to me then also.
Please Help.

Microphone issue on Satellite A500

I currently own a Toshiba Satellite A500 series Laptop running Windows 7, however the inbuilt microphone which comes with the Laptop isnt working properly.
When I go to use Skype for example it says that the microphone is on but that the volume is low. However what makes no sense to me is that I have already gone to the Sound options on the control panel then the microphone properties and turned the volume up to full.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers Milstonman

> When I go to use Skype for example it says that the microphone is on but that the volume is low
As mentioned by Akuma. Skype software controls the microphone settings to and in my case the volume is controlled automatically by Skype to ensure best quality.
I think you should check the Skype audio options.

Satellite A500: display driver & CD burning issue

I am having problems with the Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode Driver Version 187.98. I went back to Harvey Norman where I bought it from and they said update the driver. I have got the updates and it still happens. Sometimes more than 6 times in a few hours.
Now I am having trouble burning photos to a disc.
I really feel like throwing this computer out the door and I have only had it for 3 months and have had nothing but troubles with it.
Do all Satellite A500 perform like this

> Do all Satellite A500 perform like this
I dont think so
You should use the Toshiba graphic card driver in most cases these drivers are pretested and should work properly. BIOS should be up to date too!
> Now I am having trouble burning photos to a disc.
You have to check if new CD/DVD firmware is available for your CD/DVD drive.
You should look on the Toshiba European driver page. In More Info you will get some details about the available firmware.
If there is no firmware available, then you should test different CDs and DVDs from different manufacturers

Satellite A500-1GB - Copy dialog freezes on eSATA connection

Hi
I am experiencing troubles when using my Samsung StoryBoard (1,5 TB, eSata/USB2.0) with the Satellite A500-1GB (Windows 7 64bit):
a) When using the eSata connector (preferred):
The drive is recognized by the system, and I can read the directory information. But I can neither copy to nor read from the drive. The copy dialog freezes quickly and cannot be terminated easily.
b) When using the USB connector:
The drive is also recognized by the system, but read and copy operations take ages - I tried to perform a system backup, but cancelled it after 5 hours.
The drive is working just fine with another PC (also Windows 7 x64), so the drive itself should be ok.
I updated Satellite drivers today (BIOS, chipset and storage manager), but this didn't improve the situation at all.
Probably, the issue is due to SATA 150 versus SATA 300 protocol? Does A500-1GB support SATA 300 (SATA 2) or just SATA 150 (SATA 1)? Is there a specific SATA-driver (Intel?) that I could give a try? Where could I check which SATA-protocol is currently used?
Or do you have any other hints on how I could solve this issue?
Best Regards,
Waschlappen

Hi
Thanks for the reply.
- I checked the drive on the other PC using the same eSata-cable.
The drive worked just fine.
- I also tried a different eSata cable, but the drive didn't even start up. So I switched back to the orginal cable.
- As I wrote in my original post, I already reinstaled/updated the chipset driver.
So probably you have additional hints for me?
Do you know whether the Satellite is supposed to support SATA II drives?
Next thing I'll check is to configure the drive to run SATA I only (I found a software tool for that purpose from the manufacturer).

Dead Satellite A500-1GP after unintended Bios update

Hi everybody,
A friend of mine bought a new toshiba Satellite A500-1GP laptop a month ago. Windows 7 pro 64bit preinstalled.
Also preinstalled: toshiba support software which - properly configured - automatically searches for and installs critical patches and updates.
Last sunday this wonderful piece of software recomended a "critical update" to my friend - she is no expert but an experienced user who can tell the difference between a bios update (and avoid that!) and a security patch she agreed to download and install what she believed to be a security update.
Of course she gave permission to a bios update being installed. During the update process the machine froze completely. She waited for three hours and then pulled the plug. Guess what: the machine is now completely defunct. No lights no display no fan, simply nothing.
Toshiba support hotline told her that her two weeks old laptop is not under warranty because that warranty does not cover "software problems" and Bios updates are software updates.
The repair company says a repair will most likely equal to buying a new laptop so here we are...
My questions:
1) the laptop is a Satellite A500-1GP (PSAR9E-01M00QGR) with a phoenix UEFI bios (the toshiba/phoenix bios update tool 1.1.26 is pretty radical - no warnings at all !!! it even tried to update my dell laptop as well, lucky me!).
I have found some posts regarding older machines which can be reflashed by using an usb-floppy, a dos bios rescue disk and a key-combination (Fn+B or Fn+F...). is there a way to do that with an UEFI bios too ?
2) Does anybody out there have the same problem ?
3) Any chance to get toshiba to help us with that issue and prevent others making the same mistake by at least include some sort of warning into their bios updates ?
thanks for your help !
tony

> The repair company says a repair will most likely equal to buying a new laptop so here we are...
I doubt this
I think the BIOS ROM module was not flashed correctly (who knows why) and therefore you cannot boot the notebook.
This can happen due to different reasons maybe the update process has been interrupted due to a process running in the background, etc
In order to solve this issue, the ROM module should be flashed again using an special BIOS crisis disk... that's all.
The BIOS update is always a sensible procedure but if everything has been made correctly, then the BIOS update should finish successfully.
I found this very interesting and useful Toshiba doc and HowTo update the BIOS correctly!

Satellite A500-03P: Cannot connect to WLan using Win 7 + Event message

Hi all,
I very recently bought the Satellite A500 with the included offer of Windows7 when it was available end October 09.
So I got the DVD from Toshibe for the upgrade and followed the steps and upgraded from Visa home premium to Windows 7. I have two issues now.
1) I am getting a System Event Notification after start up, telling me about the system event log. The full message is below.
Failed to connect to a windows service
Windows could not connect to the System Event Notification Service service. This problem prevents limited users from logging on to the system. As an administrative user, you can review the System Event Log for details about why the service didn't respond
2) I was able to use this laptop for the internet PRIOR to the upgrade, both via a wireless USB drive as well at office via a modem ADSL.
Now I cannot access the internet after the Windows 7 upgarde!!
As an example the Optus dial up pop up box appears andwhen I click "connect" it does not connect.
Can anyone help please??
Thanks
C I

Hey buddy,
1)Have you checked the Service Configuration for this service? The start up type of System Event Notification Service must be always set to Automatic. This service is absolutely necessary for Windows and shouldnt be disabled or set to manual start type.
Check this!
2)To be honest I never heard about internet PRIOR but normally it should also be possible to access the Internet with Windows 7.
Make sure that the WLAN and/or LAN card is installed properly and check the TCP/IP settings. If you are missing some driver you can get it on the Toshiba page.
