Satellite L300 PSLBGE - Unknown device in device manager

Hello there!
I would be very grateful for any help/hints if somebody has an idea what to do....
My gf has the above mentioned laptop (w/o preinstalled OS) and we can not get the display adapter to work properly - situation is as follows
1) mobile intel 4 series express chipset family and an unknown device with a question mark in device manager
2) both are on the same PCI BUS 0, device 2?
3) intel is not working because it has no free resources (should I delete the unknown device?) to work with
4) HW ID for the unknown device is pci ven_8086&dev_2A43 and for intel is pci ven_8086&dev_2A42 (so basically the same, right?)
5) last, but not least, if I go to Desktop-personalize-advanced (first of all no 1280*800 resolution) i see under adapter type: . Exactly, nothing... under properties, this appears: non plug and play device, Super VGA and under driver, I see just the status and option to Stop, Disable, Automatic, Demand.... the device on startup... .If i disable it, the display just does not light up when the laptop is turned on....
Any ideas? I am going insaneeeeee......
Vista Home Premium, all other Toshiba SW installed (value pack, intel, BIOS 1.9, etc... - maybe BIOS did this?!)
Thanks in advance!!!
p.s. maybe SP1 that I am installing now will help?!

Hi
Wait a moment: I have checked Vendor ID and Device ID on www.pcidatabase.com and this device is the Intel graphic card. So I think this is the reason why you cant change the screen resolution.
I assume that you have forgotten to install the display driver. Check the Toshiba website because there you can download the driver:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com => Support & Downloads => Download Drivers
After this you shouldnt have any exclamation marks anymore.
You can install SP1 for Vista but this will not solve the problem with the missing display driver. But you should install it because it contains a lot of security updates they are important. Furthermore I would recommend to install SP2 for Vista.
Bye

  • Satellite U200-124 - Unknown devices with Windows XP SP2

    I downloaded Toshiba U200 drivers for Windows XP from this site, install Windows, install all drivers.
    Well.
    But i have 2 unrecognized devices in device manager.
    1. NIC 1394. Device Code V1394\NIC1394\92423A3900
    2. PCI Device. Device Code PCI\VEN_104C&DEV_803C&SUSBSYS_00011179&REV_00\4&6B 16D5B&0&5BF0
    Modem & FireWire are not working.
    What can I do?

    As Ivan said the drivers are not installed correctly and therefore the unknown devices appear in the device manager.
    The installation instruction shows the right installation order. This order is necessary and important to get all devices working!!!
    Please visit the Toshiba European driver page, choose the right series and download and install the right and compatible drivers like mentioned in the txt. file

  • Satellite A505-S6004 - Unknown device on Windows Server 2008 R2 64bit

    I was try to install Windows Server 2008 R2 64 bit on a A505-S6004 (originally Windows 7 Home Premium) on a new disk. Having downloaded and installed numerous Toshiba website drivers for Windows 7 and installing, I have two things left in device manager that I don't know what to get for them.
    The info is under Other devices-Base System Device-PCI Bus 3, Device 0, Function1 and ..., Function2.
    Any ideas what this may be?

    It turns out I missed a driver, Ricoh Card Reader for Windows 7:

  • Satellite P775-S7320 Unknown Device issue

    Unknown Device
    Device Type:     Universal Serial Bus controllers
    Manufacturer:    (Standard USB Host Controller)
    Location:            Port_#0002.Hub_#0004
    Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
    I'm trying to figure out what this device is before I open the laptop and start poking around.
    Any info would help, thanks in advance.

    I can remove all external USB devices and the issue still exists. The internal webcam is USB and working fine, so is the toutchpad but also working fine. I suspect another internal USB device, but I have no idea what else is USB. I don't use the WiDi and wondering if that is considered an internal USB connected device.

  • Satellite L300 PSLBGE network connection drops at random times

    Hey,
    I've had this problem with my laptop since I bought it 1.5 years ago.
    Now I run Windows 7 x64, with the latest bios (version 2.20-WIN; date 25/02/10), chipset and wireless (the card is a: Realtek Wireless LAN Adapter 8187B; driver version: 62.1182.0331.2010) drivers.
    The problem is that my network connection drops at random times.
    This happens both with my wireless and lan card and it happens with a variety of routers ( at work and at home I use a linksys wrt54gl but I have tried it on other routers with the same result).
    I don't think this is a hardware fault since the network seems to work fine under Linux ( I've tried Ubuntu 10 ) . Also a while back I took it to the warranty service and they said the hardware is fine but I should "not use many programs at the same time and use Windowx XP".
    From what I understand the various devices (wireless card, network card, webcam, etc) inside the laptop are connected to some sort of usb hub. My guess is that is something wrong with this 'hub' since the webcam is also working faulty.
    Thanks,

    >From what I understand the various devices (wireless card, network card, webcam, etc) inside the laptop are connected to some sort of usb hub. My guess is that is something wrong with this 'hub' since the webcam is also working faulty.
    No, the WLan card and LAN card are not connected to any USB interfaces just the webcam so this cannot be any USB issue.
    I think it could be an Windows issue since Linux is OK
    I think you should check the power management settings in Win 7 and for Wlan /LAN card. This can be done in device manager -> WLan / LAN card properties -> Advanced tab.
    I recommend also updating the Win 7 to the latest state install all updates and patches

  • Satellite Pro L300-23L: error code 12 in device manager after Vista install

    Ok,
    So I've re-installed Vista (32 w/ SP2) on my Satellite L300-23L after a virus and I'm having a couple of issues:
    Issue 1
    A Code 12 on Intel Family Chipset 4 - There are two versions of this in the device manager, one is hidden. The one that isn't hidden is the one with the Code 12. I've tried installing latest drivers from both Toshiba and Intel. Problem still persists.
    Issue 2
    The sleep option on my power off section is greyed out and the hibernate option is missing altogether. Have tried upgrading BIOS but install says that they are up to date.
    HELP! - I can find my way around a computer but don't assume I'll just know how to do something, I'd be grateful if you could walk me through any actions.
    Thanks in advance. :)

    Hi
    The error code 12 means:
    This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If you want to use this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on this system. (Code 12)
    Dont think this has something to do with the missing driver.
    Would recommend doing this firstly:
    1. Go to Start Menu-All Programs-Accessories, then right-click Command Prompt and select Run As Administrator
    2. Enter: bcdedit /set CONFIGACCESSPOLICY DISALLOWMMCONFIG
    3. Restart your PC

  • Satellite Pro L300: WLAN is not in device manager and is missing

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba L300 which I downgraded from Vista to WXP months ago. So I decided to stick with Vista and when I installed Vista the WLAN was missing in device manger and it didn't work. I tried downloading drivers adapters from Toshiba drivers download and still didn't work. Only my Ethernet is showing in device manager....btw I have a Realtek WLAN
    Also,my VGA graphics card doesn't seem to update driver and when it does it says that the system is below minimum specs.
    It's soo weird in WXP it was working fine..... Any solutions?

    >I tried downloading drivers adapters from Toshiba drivers download and still didn't work.
    What does it mean exactly? Have you installed WLAN driver or not? Is WLAN card installed properly and listed in device manager as Realtek WLAN card?
    How to understand you?
    Have you problems to install WLAN card or to configure WLAN connection?
    If the WLAN card is installed properly enable the card with WLAN switch and then use FN+F8 key combination and be sure card is set to ON.
    Which display driver you want to install? Which version?

  • Satellite L500-1GE - Battery unknown in device manager

    Hi.
    I have a problem with battery driver. I'm using Microsoft Windows XP professional. Manager of devices shows battery 2x (unknow devices!). Anybody have the same problem?
    I'm waiting for answers. I am greeting everyone. Sorry for my English

    Hi
    There is no battery driver that you mean. Its a part of Windows and you dont have to change anything on it.
    So please check the device manager again. What devices you mean exactly? Have you already checked the device and vendor ID?
    Maybe you should try to remove both entries and restart the notebook. After this the drivers should be installed automatically.

  • No Wlan card in device manager - Satellite Pro L300

    Internet works OK sometimes but then I get "no network.
    When I check I find the network adaptor (Atheros) has "disappeared from the device manager.
    If I restart the PC it reappears and I can connect again.
    I have defaulted the Bios and updated the driver but it makes no difference

    Firstly update the BIOS.
    After the BIOS update set the BIOS to default settings.
    Save the changes.
    Now install the latest WLan driver from this page:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
    Reboot the unit and configure WLan again.
    Good luck!

  • Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE Webcam stops working become "Unknown Device"

    The *webcam* on my *Satellite Pro L670-18F PSK3FE* which is running *Windows 7 64-Bit* worked fine until this week. My notifications bar started to say *"unknown USB device"* and when when I went to use the webcam it was no longer working.
    When I turned the webcam off in the BIOS the notification stopped but when I turned it back on the notification kept coming up again. The unknown device is clearly the webcam.
    I have updated my BIOS and tried system restore.
    I have also downloaded the driver for the webcam from http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK and have been trying to run that - +but it NEVER seems to finish installing!+ I will keep trying to reload the driver and see if that helps but as of now I do not believe that the driver will help.
    If this is only a driver problem could someone suggest how I get the driver to actually install :-(
    I am now at a loss. I am unsure what to do now. Suggestions?... +please!+

    Hi
    Unknown device means that the driver is not installed.
    I think the webcam driver installation should fix this.
    Since the face recognition use the webcam too, I recommend uninstalling this tool as well as the old version of webcam software.
    Both (or just face recognition) should appear in control panel -> software
    Now download the both applications from the driver page.
    Start with webcam driver installation:
    1) Unzip the webcam driver package
    2) The TC30049700N.exe can be unzipped too (right click -> extract here)
    3) Now you should see different files exe, dll, and others try to execute the setup.exe to start the installation. If this does not work, go to device manager, mark the unknown USB device (webcam) and install the driver pointing to the extracted folder containing the webcam driver files. The system should pick up the dll files automatically.
    4) Reboot the notebook and follow with face recognition software.
    Good luck

  • Satellite L300-19Y: GPU issue - device cannot find enough free resoursces

    I have an error message on my Display Adaper stating the following,
    "The device cannot find enough free resoursces that it can use (code12).
    If you want to this device, you will need to disable one of the other devices on the system."
    It is a Satellite L300-19Y with Mobile intel 4 series Graphics card. I have updated to the latest driver.
    The screen is very fuzzy at present.
    Please help with a solution if possible.

    Hi
    I found your other thread:
    http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=250126
    You tried to install a ATI driver on this notebook.
    I have no idea if this would affect the OS functionality but it seems that you get a error message while installing the Intel driver so maybe you have muddled up the OS installing some wrong drivers
    Did you use the driver from Toshiba driver page?
    If not do that!
    You should firstly uninstall the driver in device manager and then should reboot the notebook.
    After new reboot you should check if you could install the driver once again

  • Satellite Pro A120-145: yellow exlamation mark in the device manager

    Hi all,
    I have a Satellite Pro A120-145 running Win Xp Pro fully patched and up to date, I have a yellow exlamation mark against "serial" in non plug and play in device manager (when i click show hidden devices).
    Could anyone tell me which driver is needed for this? I don't want to use the recovery disc as I have done a custom install to get rid of excess baggage which is included on the disc.
    thanks in advance.

    That troubleshooting guide that Juan28 posted is really good. If the driver of the unknown device is already available (i.e. after the recovery CD installation) you might find your way through.
    In case you can't locate a suitable driver for your unknown device on your Laptop, you could try and download a freeware called "Unknown Device Identifier" from this site:
    http://www.zhangduo.com/udi.html
    This program will allow you to locate the device ID and make a search with it on the Internet.
    Hope this will sort things out.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - No wireless adapter not shown in device manager

    Can you Help - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10

    On the front of this laptop is a switch for wireless - this switch is set to On, Windows XP Pro cannot find any wireless device - Windows Device Manager does not show any wireless adater. Can you advice please - do I need to install Driver - Does this laptop support a wireless conection?
    Many Thanks
    Owen

    Hi
    Usually if you have a wireless switch your notebook should have a wireless LAN card too. In your case I would try installing the driver. Then the WLAn card should be displayed in device manager properly:

    If this doesnt work you can try a BIOS update.
    Are you running factory settings or have you installed your own Windows version?

  • Satellite L855-14G - Devices are not detected in device manager

    I've reinstalled my Satellite L855/L855D (installed windows 7 instead of win 8) . And there is a problem : many devices are not found , like ethernet / wireless. Video card Radeon HD 7670M also not found. I can't install drivers, the errors apears that my hardware isn't suitable with software (e.g chipset). On toshiba's website i typed my satellite's serial number, but my computer isn't found. Whats wrong with this laptop ?
