Satellite L350 and OpenGL 1.4

I have seen similar posts in the past, but none of them could help me with my issue.
Background, I have a Satellite L350 with Windows Vista and try to run a game that needs OpenGL 1.4. I already installed the current display drivers from this site but still could not get it to run. The next step was downloading the Intel display drivers, which are more recent, but I am having trouble installing those as apparently the manufacturer has not verified those.
Is there something I am missing? Looking at the hardware requirements of that game
(OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 / Processor: Dual Core 1.6 GHz or better / Memory: 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista), 2GB (Windows 7) / Hard Disk Space: 140 MB Free Space / Video Card: OpenGL 1.4 or higher)
The L350 should be able to handle that, right? Is there a way to test which version of OpenGL can run?

Aha.....almost...I am almost there. I have the drivers at hand and unzipped, yet I can not get device manager to use the newer drivers. Because anytime I point Vista to the new drivers it tells me that the most current drivers are already installed, even though those are 7.xxxx instead of the newer 15.xxxx. Do I have to uninstall the old drivers first (uninstalling those sounds kind of scary though)? I seem to miss the option to actually select this driver as windows just searches through the folder and doesn't do anything.
Maybe I have missed how to get to the advanced installation procedure. How do I actually get there?
(Thanks for the help btw)

Satellite L350 and boot issues

I switch the laptop on it loads Toshiba screen then after about 5 secs I get a continuous beep.
The first time this happened I left it for about 3 mins then help the power button in and turned it off, now when I boot it up it asks whether to load normal or repair mode which ever I choose the same thing happens.
Help please!

Hi
Try to recovery the notebook again using the Toshiba HDD recovery option;
Boot up the notebook, choose Repair my Computer, then a new window should appear and there you could choose Toshiba recovery.
This should start the recovery procedure.
Note; before you would do this disconnect all external devices connected to the notebook (printer, scanner external HDD, etc.)
If this would be not possible then I would assume that this could be related to an hardware issuebut its really hard to say what could be wrong.

Satellite L350 - Can't install Vista and how can I backup my data?

Hi to all
I have a Satellite L350 and recently I've installed Vista Home Premium in a different language (the OEM Vista was in English) hoping I could activate it with the OEM key, but I didn't succeed.
When I wanted to re-install the OEM Vista from WinRE I realized I can't access it and then I had a "brilliant" idea that if format the C partition with the Acronis Disc Director it would boot from WinRE. It didn't.
Fortunately Ive burned the recovery discs before. The only problem is that the recovery disc formats the entire HDD and I have data on the second partition I've would like to retrieve.
I tried to install again the retail Vista to backup the data from the second partition (yes, I'm an idiot, I didn't do it before) but it stops after the first reboot. I get a black screen with a low dash blinking.
I really need that data, please help!

Hi!
I can tell you why you cant install a retail version of Vista by using the product key. This is pretty easy because the key on the bottom side on the notebook belongs to the preinstalled OEM version and cant be used by a retail version.
However, I think the best way to backup your data would be that you put the HDD in an external HDD case and then you can backup your data on another PC or notebook.
Such external HDD cases are not expensive but very useful.

How do I remove the spacebar button on Satellite L350?

I have a shiny brand new Satellite L350, and a few drops of orange juice got splashed on lower part of the keyboard.
The keys are all fine, except the spacebar.
Although it works, it doesn't have that "click" when it is pressed.
Now I'm not sure if it'll be worth trying to lift the spacebar out and clean it.
If it is, I would appreciate some instructions on how to lift it out.
Thanks in advance.

Hi
Usually all the keyboard buttons are only stuck on the keyboard and it should be possible to remove it easily.
I could remove my buttons using a thin object.
I put the thin object under the button and levered carefully the space bar.
If you do this please be careful because if you would use too much force, you could break some brackets.
Good luck

Satellite L350 can't stand by/hybernate

Hi
I have the Toshiba Satellite L350 and I have installed WXP instead of Vista and the only thing that I change to BIOS is to change ACHI to multi.. (I did that because I couldnt install WXP with another way...then after 1 month my laptop when I close the lid ,is starting the standby mode for only 5-10 secs and then opens again without touching anything...and hibernate has the same behaviour.
Do you have any idea how can I solve this matter?

Hi buddy,
To be honest I dont understand your question.
Did you shut down the notebook when it goes in stand by mode?
Or does your notebook wake up from standby, hibernation, etc.?
In this case you have to disable Wake up on LAN, Keyboard in BIOS.
And what happens with preinstalled Windows?

Re: Satellite L350-170 - WiFi stops and starts

Hello,
I have the Toshiba Satellite L350-170 and it's great. I am running Vista 32-bit and I have had it from Christmas '08.
For a while now, the WiFi will just stop (if I use webcam on msn or something) as if it's just overloaded, then I have to wait a few mins before it comes back on again!
Is there a driver to keep the internet connected? On my taskbar, it says I'm always connected, and when I check on ConfigFree (when i can't use internet, but it's saying I *am* connected.
Can this be solved?
Hope you can help!
Regards,
James K

Hi James,
Maybe this problem is caused by the router. You should check the logfile of it. Is the router always connected interruptions?
In this case a firmware update would be advisable and let the ISP check your Internet connection.
Furthermore you can try updating the WLAN driver. The latest version can be downloaded on the Toshiba website.

Hi shahchin,
I think you should check this Toshiba document:
[How to change the settings for the integrated webcam if the image is very dark or black |http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=59]
Furthermore the microphone is located on near the microphone because its a part of the webcam.
Regarding the picture quality of webcam you could also try reinstalling the webcam driver from Toshiba website.

Satellite L350 - touchpad FN and F9 key is not working

I've installed allready Synoptics Touch Pad V6.3 from Toshiba website, but it didnt help.
I've searched for other mentioned software posted on this forum, but i couldnt find.
The biggest problem ist that my touchpad is blocked, and not-working FN+F9 made
Me use just keyboard - which is difficult and annoying :(
I would be really greatefull if somebody can help me :(
hugs,
Kate

My Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.

Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.
The fan is free from dust. I reinstalled Windows
There is a new Battery for 1 year
If the laptop is off, the battery can be charged. The laptop is operating normally on battery.
From the moment that the AC adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
When I use the computer without a battery but with the AC adapter, the computer shuts down. Test with another AC adapter, the computer turns off.
Could it be that the cable between the motherboard and the DC jack is causing the problem whether this is unlikely ?
Anyone have an idea to help me with this problem ?

Dr. Lamp,
Shut down is not always at the same point. In the beginning this happened from time to time and than more frequently. If i start up the computer now with the AC adapter connected than he doesn't start up completely. He shuts down and reboot or blocked.
To answer your question, I am able to enter the BIOS settings.
I bought the Yannec battery here:
I summarize the tests that I did together:
Loading battery when computer is off = yes
Running applications only with battery = yes
With AC adapter connected = computer shut down and reboot
Without battery, only with AC adapter connected = shut down and reboot
With other AC adapter = shut down and reboot
If it is a problem of the motherboard is it not possible that it can be repaired rather than replaced by a new one?
Many thanks for your patience

Satellite L350-12C - hard drive failure, need recovery

Please help. I have Toshiba Satellite L350-12c and its a German model. My hard drive failed.
The local Toshiba repair centre said they can replace the hard drive but without the disc they cant restore it to working order.
The worst part is its still under warranty but Toshiba is refusing to help me. The only place I can order discs is from Europe who wont accept an American credit card and mailing address which kills me because I have another laptop from Germany and they sent me discs with no issue.
The local shop even contacted the local rep and she was no help. Please help frustrated Toshiba customer.

Sorry i have a german l350-12c that was purchased in the UK. it has a 2 year international warrnty and i live in the united states. toshiba of usa insist they will do nothing to help. the local toshiba dealer is been very helpful they spoke to a toshiba of america rep and still was told their was nothing they can do. this model was not built for the us market. the local shop is willing to fix it if i get the original restore disc. without that their not willing because they say they dont have access to the drivers and the special fixes that would be ont the disc.which is the stuff that makes all the little functions work, Plus without the disc theirs no way to set up the recovery partation,which is damaged due to the harddrive failure. theirs ways it could be peaced together but they wont do the warrnty work without being able to fix it. if they just swapped the harddrive i guess i could manage but that realy blows seeing i have warrnty which is suppose to be honored even in the us. when i call toshiba of uk they say they cant send the disc to the us. but yet through my work we get things from simens in germay on a regular basis.so im completely at a lose thanks for any help.

Satellite L350 - Doesn't ready CD's but DVD's

Hi
I've just sign in
I've got a problem with my Satellite L350. It does not read any CD`s but DVD`s work fine.
Anybody have any ideas?
Please

Forget these filters.
Remove optical disc drive from device manager and restart your notebook.
The drive will be recognized and installed again.
Test the functionality with original medias. Be sure you don't use some not readable copy protected music CDs. If the situation is the same contact nearest authorized service provider and ask for help.
Of course as last step you can test functionality with factory settings but at first you must reinstall OS.

Black screen after login on Satellite L350-20Q (normal mode)

My Satellite L350-20Q run Vista basic.
After login that is normal I go to the turning arrow then to a permanent black screen when I start in normal mode.
In safe mode I have a normal behaviour and I can work. Spybot report no malware present. But my Avast antivirus does not seems to work in safe mode.
Do you have any idea of this problem ?
A fellow has advised me to update my graphic drivers which is presently Intel Corporation 12/06/2008 version 7.15.10.I502 for Mobile Intel 4 series express chipset family. What is the URL and the filename to download the most recent driver ?
Message was edited by: nigelle normal mode added in title.

1) I have already done a roll back but without success
2) total reinitialisation and updates is a long and tedious process I wish to avoid if possible.
Downloading and installing a new driver is fast so I prefer to try this before even if the probability of improvement is low. Where can I find the driver for graphic ?
3) I bought this lap top in June and Win7 was released in September or October.
All manufacturers had promised a free update to Win7.
But after the release of Win7 my laptop was not in the eligible list may be only because it ran on Vista basic and they were not Win7 basic and Toshiba did not want to pay for the upgrade...
Not very honest !
I dared not to buy a Win7 license because I think that Win on a laptop is a slightly modified version.

How to get low battery warning on Satellite L350-235?

Hi
I have a Toshiba Satellite L350-235
I have a problem trying to get a warning sound when my battery is low.
Can anyone help?
Thanks
jnf555

You can do this in personalize option of Win 7
Make a right click on desktop and select Personalize
Then click on Sounds at the bottom of the window.
Next you have to select a sound event (battery low) from the list and then hit browse button. Select a .wav sound and click Open and then click Apply.

Satellite L350: What is better choice: Recovery disc or F8 repair?

Hi,
I have a fairly new Satellite L350 (5 months). I recently discovered a trojan attached to program files for AVG software. I got rid of the trojan, did a restore to date before loading AVG in hopes that my system would go back to normal. It still continues to be slow, explorer keeps locking up and all sorts of quirky things keep happening! Yikes.
I have the Recovery and Application CD that came with my laptop. Should I use the Recovery CD or should I try to just repair by using the F8 option? And if I use the Recovery CD what files will I lose, normally? I tried to search for a list of apps that are on that disc but found no info??
I have spent most of the day saving all my files on disc. I will lose some paid downloaded programs which I am willing to sacrifice if I can get my computer to love me again!!
Any advice would be helpful.
Thanks

>Should I use the Recovery CD or should I try to just repair by using the F8 option? And if I use the Recovery CD what files will I lose, normally?
I would recommend using the Recovery disk because the Recovery disk would format the whole HDD and will set the notebook to the factory configuration.
If you have some viruses on the HDD then the HDD format might be the best option in order to remove all the Trojans and viruses.

Cannot find my Satellite L350-10H - external video full HD output

Hello Everybody.
I have a problem with my satellite L350-10H when I try to attach a second external monitor in full HD.
In fact Im only able to duplicate my Notebook Display with the same resolution (1440 x 900).
The System don't allow me to set a Full HD Resolution for my Samsung External Monitor.
I don't think can be a limitation of the Chipset because I can do that with all my oldest notebook I have at Home.
Now the strange thing is that when I try to search for a driver in the Toshiba website, my model just don't exist !!!
I put the serial number and the website don't recognize the model, then in the list this model don't exist.
It is: *TOSHIBA SATELLITE L350-10H* - OS WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM
Someone have also this model? How I can attach a full hd monitor?

Hi
First of all, if you would take a look on the Toshiab European driver page, then you will notice that the driver search form does not contain any sub model numbers but series numbers this means you have to check the model number and then could find the right drivers.
As far as I know the notebook Sat L350-10H belongs to PSLD0E series.
You can find the drivers for this notebook if you would choose L350 PSLD0E.
Easy. Isnt it?
Now back to your video output;
As far as I know there is a Mobile Intel GL960 Express Chipset.
Ive got the same chipset and I can use the external monitor perfectly.
But I have installed the Intel graphic card driver in fact the preinstalled driver on my notebook didnt contain some resolutions
Therefore I recommend checking the Intel page and to download and install the driver for Mobile Intel GL960 chipset.
After new reboot you should check if you could choose the resolution.
