Satellite L40 - Wifi doesn't work properly

Hi, when i want to connect my L40 to some network near me, it doesn't connect, or whenn it connects, is says that my access is limited or doesn't work, or need a network adress, something like that... is the problem with my notebook, or else???
thx

Firstly you should check if the WLan signal is strong enough.
I assume you want to connect to you own WLan router ;)
However, additionally you should update the WLan card driver and then BIOS if available.
Please post your results!

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regards

Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

Webcam on Satellite A300-1MX doesn't work properly

After my windows Vista system crashed on Dec 16 2011, I had the recovery done.
After that, I didn't find any webcam driver on the whole laptop. On the support page of Toshiba I finally found version 1.7, but that doesn't work at all!
It always shows up: Webcam driver open fail, please restart camera or computer. As it is a built in camera I tried it with the restart of the computer, but that didn't help at all. So I tried it with the option to repair the driver with Install Shield Wizard. The program has done something, but without any success.
So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it didn't help at all!
Has somebody an idea?

Hi
Found a Toshiba knowledge base article which describes this error and provides a solution to this issue.
+Why does the error message display: "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer."?+
+http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/OPT84026F0000R01.htm+
But its related to Portege M600, and Satellite U300 only.
However, you should also try to perform a BIOS update. After that set the BIOS to default settings and save the changes. Then try to reinstall the webcam software once again.
You should also check the device manager. Here in device manager the webcam should be recognized as a USB device if this is not the case then this means that the webcam has not been recognized by OS and this means that there could be an hardware issue
As far as I know the webcam is connected to the USB controller on the motherboard. If the cable connection is lose, then the webcam would not be recognized in device manager; neither as USB device nor an unknown device.

I've tried W8 and the same problem but it works truely with w7.
what should i do for making it works truely with W8.1.
Sorry length of e-mail.

vn7571g_user,
Sorry to hear that you are not having the best possible experience with your new notebook. I'd like to try and address a few of your concerns that you have listed and see if there are some things we can resolve for you.
1. Wifi doesn't work properly:
I see that you have posted in a couple other threads (1st, 2nd) regarding wireless issues with this notebook. We can gladly check this unit at the repair depot for you if you are not keen on changing the card out, PM me the following information and I will see what I can do for you:
SNID or serial number
Contact name
Contact number
Email address
Shipping address
Purchase date
2. Wifi doesn't work after switching on and off 'Airplane mode'
If you have already tried to install/update the drivers, it could be a Windows issue. You can attempt a refresh to see if that helps resolve it.
3. Trackpad response is terrible
This notebook uses a precision touchpad possibly, but since it uses Synaptics drivers you have a couple options:
You can change the way that the touchpad works.
It says Windows 7, but you can see if you have this option in the touchpad settings and see if it helps you out.
4. Speakers jar
Do you have the same issue without the Dolby turned on?
5. Num-Lock is 'Off' after every sleep session
Here is a Microsoft article that discusses this feature. You can follow the steps that they list if you would like.
6. Keyboard-backlight setting is 'On' after every sleep session
The backlit keyboard is working as designed. Here is an article with some FAQ about the backlit keyboard to help customers understand its functionality a bit more.
A couple final thoughts:
Did the issue(s) you are having occur before or after Windows updates, sometime a bad installation of an update can cause all sorts of things to happen.
Worst case, you can always try to restore to factory defaults and test all these things before applying updates or installing any applications or programs.

Satellite P500-127: microphone or sound doesn't work properly using skype

Hi Toshiba team,
Recently bought a new notebook.
However the microphone or sound driver (connexant pebble high definition ) doesn't work properly when using skype. Also read about this matter in various forums such as the skype forum.
People encountered similar problems such as:
We can usually talk for a bit longer than 20 seconds, however the call will drop at a random time between 1 and 15 minutes. The strange part is that sometimes the quality of the call is good, but more than often my friend can only hear *half of what I am saying* while I usually do not have a problem hearing what has been said. The video will work so my friend can see me talking but can simply not really hear what I am saying.
Before the drop the call will usually freeze for a couple of seconds and then skype sometimes crashes. We have tried talking together without the video, however the problem remains.
I also found a suggestion by the toshiba service, just to simply increase the volume under control panel etc, but it doesn't work either..
Can you please help me on this one?
Cannot use skype at all as it just to annoying for everyone I talk to.. Quality is just to poor!!
Many many thanks

Hi
Every day I use Skype with the internal webcam, microphone and speakers but I didnt have any problems as yet.
In your case I would try updating the drivers. Therefore download the latest sound and webcam driver (microphone is a part of webcam). Both you can get here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
If your friend cant hear you, check also the settings for internal microphone. I have activated microphone boost in Windows sound settings so I could improve the microphone quality.
By the way: Do you use the latest version of Skype? With older Skype version I had also some problems on Windows 7. As far as I know only newest version is fully Windows 7 compatible.

A65-S159 - I can't use the CD Recovery because my CD/DVD doesn't work properly

Hi, I need help to reinstall the system and drives. It's a Satellite A65-S159. The CD/DVD doesn't work properly. Rarely, the CD/DVD can read a DVD. So I can't use the CD Recovery. What may I do?
Thank you,
Cabula, Brazil

There are two ways to run the recovery DVD, one is from Windows. Instead power ont he computer with the disk in the drive. And imediatly after powering on start pressing the F12 key. After a few seconds you should see a boot device menu that you can select the CD/DVD drive to boot from. Try that and let us know if you got the boot menu, and if the disk worked.

WIFI doesn't work on startup

When I turn on my dad's iMac (Mid July 2010, iMac) the WIFI doesn't work. When I click the WIFI icon on the menu bar is says somthing to the effect of you don't have WIFI installed. When I restart it works. this happens every time.
What do you think is wrong? do I need to take the iMac in to an Apple store?

Hi,
First, my wlan card was unknown by w7 (unknown device and I had install all the others drviers). So, because I don't know what card was in the L630, I downloaded the Atheros and the Broadcom wlan drivers.
When I refresh in the device manager, I tell w7 to automatically find the driver (in drivers folder and in its subdirectory).
w7 find a Broadcom card, install the driver (with the error message : file not found without any name of file) and shows in the network section of the device manager a Broadcom 802.11n card, but didn't shows the model (I think its a 43xx). Thre isn't any other unknown device in the device manager, all seems right.
I also try to install it with the Grand Administrator account : same result !!!!!!!!!
I have try with the Atheros drivers (just in case) but w7 tells me that there isn't any drivers found for my card (so I think its a broadcom)
When I press Fn + F8 key nothing happens (the led of the wifi stay orange) and the hotkey bar doesn't drop down.
Thats why I wish to rinstall the hotkey utility, but It doesn't exist for other OS than XP....
I try to install it (the XP hotkey utility) but its make an error : common module not found
I try to install common module then the hotkey utility, but I get the same error : common module not found
I'm agree with you xver, install a fresh w7 64 bits then all the drivers shoud not be such problematic, I do this fort one Tecra A7 and One Aspire One 751, they works perfectly, but they where all of them under XP ......
Next step :
I must confirm (to my self too) if the F8 key work properly (by trying to start w7 into safe mode),
remove any trace of the common module and the hotkey utility from the registry,
remove the broadcom and atheros wlan driver and delette any trace in the registry,
go in a church and light a candle for miracle ?

My palm m105's touch screen doesn't work properly after a sync.

I dug out my old m105, put new batteries in and start it. On first launch it auto runs the alignment tool, and after touching all the points it goes to the main screen and works fine. No problem till here.
Now, I plug it into my old computer which still has the palm software with my apps, and I run the sync operation (from the palm device sync manager, cause I lost my cradle and I'm connected via the serial cable), and it syncs fine BUT, here comes the problem, when it finishes the sync (successfully) the touch screen is all misaligned. I can't go back to the home screen or do anything useful.

What can I do if my CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?

QuestionWhat can I do when if my laptop CD or DVD drive doesn't work properly in Windows 8?
AnswerNote: For help with this issue in Windows 7, please see this article.
To get your CD or DVD drive working correctly, try these suggestions in the order listed.
Reinstall the Driver
Hold the Windows key and press the 'x' key to open a menu in the lower-left. In this menu, select "Device Manager." Expand "DVD/CD-ROM drives." Right-click the entry for the CD/DVD drive nested under "DVD/CD-ROM drives," then select "Uninstall." Finally, restart the computer. The computer will reinstall the drivers for the drive.
Power Cycle
Even when your laptop is off and unplugged, residual power can still be held in some components. While this is normal, clearing it can help with some hardware problems. Perform these steps to complete what’s called a power cycle.
Ensure the laptop is turned off.
Unplug the laptop's AC power cable.
Unplug all wires and peripherals. This includes CDs, DVDs, USB sticks, mice, printers, and any other accessories.
Remove the battery (if the model has a removable battery). If the model does not have a removable battery, check your user's guide to determine if you have a pinhole reset on the bottom. If you do, press this.
Hold down the power button for thirty seconds.
Reattach the battery if removed.
Connect the AC adaptor to the power socket that was confirmed to be working in the first step.
Connect the other end of the AC adaptor to your computer.
Start the computer and test the drive
Microsoft Fix-it
Your computer may exhibit one or more of the following symptoms:
Your CD or DVD drive no longer appears in Windows
Your CD or DVD drive does not read or write and is shown as disabled
The media in your CD or DVD drive cannot be read
The media cannot be written to a CD or DVD inserted into the drive
You receive an error message about your CD or DVD drive
If any of these symptoms apply to your computer, use Microsoft Fix-it troubleshooter available here.
System Restore
Try using System Restore to restore to the most restore point from before the problem arose.
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
System Recovery
If the System Restore doesn't solve the issue, you could try a System Reset. Resetting your laptop to its original, out-of-the-box state is a great way to eliminate software as a possible cause of the problem. Note that doing a system reset will return the laptop to its default conditions, completely wiping your data. Information on how to perform a system recovery can be found in your user's guide.
For more information on performing a recovery, see the following article:
How To: Understanding System Restore, Refresh, Reset, and, Recovery options in Windows 8 + Video
Contact Customer Support
If the drive doesn't work after performing a recovery, it may be due to hardware failure. Please call customer support or seek servicing.

Hello
I understand you are no longer able to print with the P1006 on Win8.1.
Did you uninstall the P1006 first?
If not uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
Both drivers are the same if you look at the version on the website and should still work with the Win8.1.
If you need more assistance just let me know.
