Satellite C655-S5049 USB stopped working

Bought laptop 1.5 mo ago.  USB was working but today won't recognize anything plugged into either port.  Tried disable/enable USB via HW Setup, no go.  Anything else I can try before losing weeks to warranty service?

Maybe these help. They apply to Windows 7 as well (follow the Vista suggestions).

  • USB Ports on 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 do not work-even after Recovery to "Out-of-Box" state

    Hello - Hoping someone can help with another suggestion- it doesn't look good.
    Both USB ports on my wife's 3 month old Satellite C655-S5049 are non-functional with any USB device. Flash drives, wireless mouse, and external hard drive (powered) that all work on all of my other computers, do not work in either of this laptop's USB ports.
    This problem seems to have developed gradually, and became noticeable previously as non-responsiveness in the wireless mouse, which gradually became a concern, with the computer appearing to freeze or lock-up - probably because of the number of times the mouse was clicked on shortcuts and executables before something happened.
    The ports are now completely "dead"- no recognition of anything inserted once the computer is up and running.
    There appears to be a thermal component involved, since I was able to get the devices recognized and working for up to a minute when booting the computer with the devices in the ports after it had been off for several hours after I did the default state recovery. The flash drive and mouse were recognized, drivers loaded message, but they then went to "unplugged" before I could get the cursor moving. I was able to access the flash drive, since I did it as soon as the driver loaded, but then it disappeared ("un-plugged" itself in the driver loaded message box). I can also get them recognized from this COLD boot state when I immediately plug them in once Windows 7 (64) loads, but they quickly disappear. If I wait a few minutes before re-booting, they flash during the Windows boot, but drop-out before it completes. If I wait 3-4 hours to re-boot, they flash (are recognized) for about a minute (Windows completely loads), but then they drop out.
    I tried all of the suggestions on this board (and others) before doing a Recovery to Factory Default state. I have tried it with the original version 1.20 Bios, and with the version 1.50 Bios update. All driver updates have been downloaded and installed. The laptop does occasionally lock-up at the Toshiba screen during boot, and is verrrry slow in some operations (2 hours to do the recovery discs). The only other noticeable problem (at this time) is an occasional drop-out of wireless (Atheros AR9285) connectivity, which I have been blaming on the router since it is sporadic and infrequent (not consistent with the thermal argument). These problems are all after the Factory Default State recovery operation, so my assumption is that they are hardware based.
    Any suggestions for a solution? This is a standard spec Satellite C655-S5049 that I was considering adding another 2GB memory to, but now I am unsure of its' future. A laptop cooler that runs from a USB port seems counter-productive.
    I am technically capable, so you can be much briefer in your response than I have been in trying to fully detail the problems. This isn't the NVidia chip, but it does bring back memories of laptops past.
    Thanks for any help,

    I AM HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MODEL. I GOT THE SERVICE
    MANUAL AND I'M THINKING TO OPEN IT AND SEE IF THERE'S SOME PHYSICAL BAD CONNECTION
    INSIDE. BUT LIKE YOU SAID.  IT'S ONLY THREE MONTHS OLD.!!! I DON'T WANT TO RUIN THE WARRANTEE.
    BUT THIS IS VERY FRUSTATING. I WANDER IF TOSHIBA DOES THIS ON PURPUSE.!!! KEEP IN TOUCH AND
    IF YOU NEED THE SERVICE MANUAL CONTACT ME AT [email protected]

  • All USB stops working after restarting iMac, please help!

    I am having a serious problem with my iMac and i'm at a loss of what to do. I have a 24" imac with 10.5.6 and about a week or two ago I restarted my computer only to find that none of my USB ports were working. I thought it was a fluke so i just restarted again, only to find out that they still wernt working. I was forced to do a restore because I couldn't find a fix so I booted up from my leopard disc and did a restore from my time machine backup. I thought all was well and good until i restarted again yesterday. The same exact thing happened so I did another restore. Well, I just needed to restart my computer again and what do you know, my USB stopped working again! I have repaired permissions, done the apple hardware test, reset the PRAM, and verified the disc to see if there was anything wrong with it. I am at a total loss on what to do and Im really not looking forward to doing another restore only to have it do the exact same thing. Please help!

    If you haven't tried this, try resetting the SMC: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543?viewlocale=en_US
    When you booted from the restore disk, did you run Disk Utility to check the hard disk for errors?
    If not... make sure and disconnect anything connected to the USB ports first,
    To check the hard disk:
    Open Disk Utility, in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder.
    Insert your Mac OS X Install disc in your computer’s optical drive or an optical drive connected to your computer, and then restart your computer. When you hear the startup tone, hold down the C key until you see the progress indicator, which looks like a spinning gear.
    Follow the onscreen instructions until the Menu Bar appears with the Utilities menu in it, choose Utilities > Disk Utility, click First Aid, and then click the Verify button. If DU reports errors, click Repair. When it's finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. In the Startup Disk window select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.
    Also, click the Apple logo top left in your Desktop, click: About This Mac, then click: More Info
    That will launch your System Profiler. Under Contents on the left, click: USB and make sure your USB information is there.

  • Satellite A60 - sound has stopped working

    Satellite A60 - sound has stopped working. Downloaded new sound driver from toshiba web site - clicked on sound update icon and it worked, but disappeared every time I restarted.
    Clicked on installshield icon, and install starts, but then has an error message saying 0x80040303, unknown error, setup terminates - this happens every time.
    Tried to download other updates, but it says I didn't register my laptop, which I'm sure I did, and won't let me do it again because it's more than 6 months old.
    Help!!

    Hello
    Try to roll back the operating system to an earlier time when everything works fine. On this way it is not easy to say why this happen. Try also to remove sound card from device manager and restart the unit.
    All drivers for your unit you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • USB stopped working on Satellite T230

    Hellow,
    I'm using Satellite T230 (Windows 7 64 bits) for about a month.
    Once one of the USB ports stopped working. USB-drives are not recognized at all, a mouse - the note just makes a repeat beep. That USB port doen't see a USB drive during start up.
    Everything works with another port.
    I tryed system recovery, BIOS update. Nothing helped.
    I'm really upset and don't know what to do.
    Thanks for any help

    Hi Yu_1,
    > I tryed system recovery, BIOS update. Nothing helped.
    System recovery means you have already reinstalled Windows from Toshiba recovery disk or HDD recovery?
    If yes I think you have already tried everything what you can do and it looks like a hardware malfunction :(
    So as next step contact an authorized service provider in your country and ask the guys for help. They can fix your problem. I think its mainboard issue because the USB ports are fixed on it.
    If your notebook is under warranty, the repair would be for free :)
    Here is a list of all ASPs:

  • Satellite A105 Shift Keys stop working after BIOS update

    I have a stack of laptop boards from the A105 series (Intel chipset) that I received with bad BIOS's. Two worked, and I updated the BIOS's on them to fix CPU compatibility issues. After that, the shift keys stopped working, and pressing Shift-A causes the power light to dim. Reverting to ANY previous version BIOS, whether through the Windows program, CD, or Crisis Recovery floppy (magic key is "F", not "B", "Esc", or "U"), does not fix the keyboard problem.
    To make things more confusing, I did notice that the one single BIOS that seems to actually correct the problem is version 1.50, which I haven't seen available for any Tecra A7 or Satellite A100/A105, except a couple A100's, but the BIOS file is much too small and can't be loaded.
    Does anyone have any idea why these Intel-based boards are doing this? Or does anyone know where I can get a usable version 1.50 BIOS?
    For the sake of this post, please consider my skill level to be high. (In other words, I would be thankful for people trying to help with "Replace the keyboard", but I have about a dozen keyboards, all of which I have tried, and all of which work on other laptops. Additionally, if you have just a theoretical solution, I'm definitely open to hearing it. Also, if a Toshiba tech would like to reply, I would very much appreciate it!)

    Hi, thank you for your help.
    Some motherboards were not in chassis when I got them. Is there a place the PSAAxx model number would be written on the boards?
    Four PSAA8U (Two A105-S4334 and Two A105-S4014) - Intel Chipset, fingerprint reader. Tried BIOS Versions 1.40, 1.70, 2.00, 5.10, 5.60, 5.90, and 6.00. Shift keys do not work on either one.
    Two PSAA2U (A105-S2091 and A105-S2031) - ATi Chipset. BIOS versions 1.50, 1.80, and 2.30. Keyboard works.
    Another PSAA8U (A105-S4184) - Intel Chipset, no fingerprint reader. BIOS version 6.00. Keyboard works.
    I noticed that so far all of the models with fingerprint readers have the problem. All of the ATi Chipset boards are working fine, but they have significant processor limits. I am in the middle of updating the BIOS in another Intel one using a Crisis Rescue Disc, so after that finishes I will try disconnecting the fingerprint reader to see if it has an effect.
    I don't think the keyboard controller is faulty, because these boards all failed on the same day. I have tried updating the BIOS using WinPhlash, Phlash16 in DOS, the install CD, and a Crisis Recovery Disk. I set the defaults in the BIOS almost every time, and I also have tried holding the power button for 60 seconds with the power cord unplugged and the battery removed (as some people have suggested.)
    The shift keys don't work in DOS, Linux, Windows, or even in the BIOS. I test it in the BIOS by using Tab to cycle through the fields in time of day, then Shift-Tab to cycle backwards. This works with a USB keyboard, and it also works on the ATi chipset models and the Intel chipset models that are still working.
    Thank you for your reply. (-:

  • Touchpad of my Satellite C50-A-19T stopped working

    I wasn't sure which category this would go in.. sorry.
    I have a Toshiba satellite laptop and the mouse has stopped working.
    _It has nothing to do with the function (f5) button that turns the mouse off._
    It stopped working yesterday.
    I can use the keyboard.
    My dad noticed that by holding in either the left or right button it will move but it won't on it's own. however when you try to move it up and down it starts to scroll which it could not do before.
    Any idea on how to get it working?

    > I have a Toshiba satellite laptop
    Which one?
    > It has nothing to do with the function (f5) button that turns the mouse off.
    So you have already tested if the touchpad isnt disabled?
    How about the external USB mouse? Does it work properly?
    Did you test the touchpad without connected USB mouse?
    > My dad noticed that by holding in either the left or right button it will move but it won't on it's own. however when you try to move it up and down it starts to scroll which it could not do before.
    This sounds like an additional touchpad feature (like gesture control etc)

    Neverless, I'd really like to understant why that append and what dos it mean to "reset" a USB port...

  • After software update, airport an USB stops working. Clean install fixes it until I update

    I've reset PRAM and SMC erased and reinstalled 10.6 multiple times. Everything is fine until I do a software update. I can boot into windows via boot camp and all is well, but in OS X some USB ports stop working, and airport will say no hardware installed. I've repaired permissions as well with no luck. No AppleCare left so I can not call Apple.

    I have this problem too. I have the 27-inch LED cinema display connected to my Mac Pro 1,1 via the Radeon 5770. I also suspected it had something to do with the machine going to sleep, but the audio doesn't disappear every time it goes to sleep. Unplugging the monitor fixes the problem.
    I also noticed that when the sound has went away, if I try to change the volume there will be a long delay before seeing the volume-change graphic. Also, toggling the sound device in System Preferences while the problem is in effect is unresponsive, sometimes giving the beach ball. Finally, this message is seen in console logs when the sound has went away:
    10/19/10 6:01:22 PM kernel USBF: 75053.200 AppleUSBEHCI[0xf3d0800]::Found a transaction which hasn't moved in 5 seconds on bus 0xfd, timing out! (Addr: 5, EP: 0)
    I can make this message appear on demand by attempting to change the volume.
    If (when) this happens again, I'm calling support.

  • Satellite A - LAN card stopped working

    I purchased my A series in April 08 and a few weeks ago the LAN card stopped working. It just won't connect and can't get emails and doesn't connect to any web pages.
    Currently have the computer working off wireless but does anyone know how to fix the LAN Card problem.

    Hi!
    Which Satellite notebook do you have exactly?
    Does the notebook recognize a LAN cable if you plug in it? Is the LAN connection enabled in Windows?
    Try to update the LAN driver and the BIOS. Both you can find on the Toshiba website:

  • Satellite A300-1G5: webcam stopped working - Webcam driver open fail

    Hi
    my laptop specifcation here : ( [A300 - 1G5|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=1055589] ) for any needed details ..
    The problem simply is, the webcam stopped working for some reason, an error messeage says "Webcam driver open fail. Please restart camera or computer".
    I noticed that whenever I put the computer in sleep mode I was getting on the icon tray a notification says "USB device unrecognized"... I wasnt aware what it was - thought it becasue of the USB mouse being plugged... but I think its related to the camera...
    software is installed but camera is not working and cant enable it .. I did download the latest driver from toshiba site , but still not working ...
    Currently my laptop runs Vista HP SP2 32-bit, Windows defender enabled, Windows Firewall Enabled, Windows UAC enabled, Kaspersky Ani-Virus 2009 Enabled. I only use Windows Live Messenger (which up to date I think , version : 14.0.8089.726) which i used camera with, I quite using face recognition long time ago and rarely use the webcam ... I didnt install or update any drivers and used to have the laptop running perfectly..
    So what happened now ?!

    Hi
    I have had a similar error message and could solve this by disabling the webcam software from startup.
    In msconfig -> Start Up tab I have unchecked the Chicony webcam software.
    This prevents it from automatic loading.
    I dont use MSN but Skype and the Chicony webcam software is always disabled (not executed) if Skype is running.
    Maybe you should try this too.
    Furthermore you could try this:
    Go to device manager, mark the webcam (imaging devices USB video device) and deleted it from the device list.
    Then reboot the notebook and wait until the webcam has been recognized again.
    Then test it.

  • Satelite Pro S300 - USB stopped working

    Hello
    I have a 6 months old laptop Sat Pro S300-100 and are running Vista 32-bits. It's got 4 USB slots, 1 combined who is working on left side, and 3 USB2 slots on right side and these 3 suddenly stopped working. I've tried different connections, USB mouse, external disk, memory stick, but they are all dead.
    I've tried to deactivited and activited them, no change. I've checked the ports and the system response are that they are working.
    I've had a similar problem earlier on a Tecra 9000 some years ago and the replaced the main board.
    Does anyone have a solution, please?

    Hi!
    Do you have yellow marks in the device manager?
    I think there is a hardware problem. Contact an ASP (authorized service provider) to repair your notebook.
