Satellite L500-13W: How to switch on Wlan with Win 7 - hotkeys don't work

Hi there,
i recently acquired this laptop, and i installed win7 64 bits prof. The first problem was that wireless card was not installed, but i go to toshib website and downloaded the new one, next to that i can't activate the card with the fn + f8 key, thats the only way to activate the card,
i already downloaded some drivers and utilities and i can't activate the card, the hotkey don't work and there's not another switch, software won't work either
Any help will be welcome
Thanks

Hallo Tito
In front of me I have Satellite L500-154. This laptop has no WLAN switch and in preinstalled Vista you can enable WLAN card using FN+F8 only. I have searched a way to enable WLAN card without FN+F8 key combination. No way.
So if you have OS without working FN+F8 key combination you will not be able to enable WLAN card.
I really don't understand why do you think it can be because of laptop.
Install supported operating system and you will see everything will be OK.
So it has nothing to do with faulty hardware.

Satellite L500-13W - FN Key Stop Working

Hello Everyone
I have a problem, suddenly, without doing anything, my *FN keys stop working*. First the luminosity adjustment still worked without appearing the bar on the top of the screen, but when I reboot the computer not even that works, nothing related with the FN key works.
My biggest problem is that my computer is a Toshiba Satellite L500-13W and *i can only activate Wireless pressing FN+F8*. I can't stay with this problem much more. I already looked in this forum and in other sites but none of the solutions have solved my problem.
I hope you can help me.
Thanks in Advance.

Oh I forgot to say, I am using Windows Vista 32 bit

Hi
> I don't understand why so many people have this problem
I cant imagine that many people have this problem. To be honest I have two notebooks, Satellite A300 and Qosmio F50. On both notebooks I installed Windows 7 and after installing VAP and Flash Cards support utility the FN keys worked fine. Also on Vista I never had a problem, all is working fine.
Anyway, I think you have tried everything so the last chance is reinstalling Vista using Toshiba recovery disk. After this the FN keys should work again.
Check this!!!

Satellite L500-17L - How can I find it on the Toshiba website?

Yesterday i found the description about this notebook - Toshiba Satellite L500-17L but I cant find it on the toshiba's site. How can this be?
And there is a lot of information about this one on the web

Hi!
I have a little bit searched using Google and it seems that this is a Russian model so you can find the specifications on the Toshiba Russian page:

Satellite U500-1E0 - how to switch off the mouse 'clicking' noise

Please can anyone tell me how to switch off the 'clicking' noise that the mouse buttons make when they're depressed?
Thanks.

Im not U500 owner but Ive got a U400 notebook model.
As far as I know the touchpad buttons dont support any clicking sound which could be enabled or disabled by software.
Therefore I would say its a mechanical noise which cannot be disabled.
Bye

Satellite A205-S5843: Unknown WLAN card & some buttons don't work

OK one problem im probably get laughed at the other not
First problem.
I have no idea what a network adapter is.
My first thought is wireless internet because it says it has a wireless card in it but i can only connect to a network and nothing else even in my apartment that has wireless i can only connect to the network...plz help the noob!
Next problem.
Some of my keys will not work... nothing has been spilled on it for i refuse to let any liquid near it for fear of death..
The keys that don't work are the Z, R, Y, the arrow keys, the FN button, and the /? button.
It used to work and now it doesn't one site suggested that i hold the FN key and press the f11 button.
I did and it would work for 5 min or so and then nothing...now the FN don't work and im so confused and angry...this is my college laptop and it really hurts when i have to use the mouse to click the on screen keyboard all the time...plz help

Hi
The A205-S5843 belongs to the US series.
I checked the hardware specifications on the Toshiba US page and it looks like this notebook has been equipped with the Atheros 802.11 b/g wireless-LAN card.
The Atheros Wlan driver can be downloaded from the Toshiba US driver page or from this Toshiba European WLan portal:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
Regarding your keyboard/button issue.
Did you ensure that this is not a software problem?
I mean did you test if the notebooks keyboard/buttons would work using the original preinstalled Toshiba OS image?
In my personal opinion this strange keyboard behavior looks more like more hardware issue as software issue but its worth to check if the new installation would solve your problem
But if you will not notice any improvements then the keyboard should be checked by an authorized service partner.

How to connect to wlan with n97 using ca certifica...

Hi all I have been trying to get my wireless working on my N97 at work which uses WPA/WPA2 and after a week and lots configuration changes I finally got it working, So I thougt I will share this
Since my work WLAN uses EAP-PEAP I needed the root ca certificate which i got from my network team.
So the first thing I did was send the cert to my phone and saved it
   To do this I sent the cert to my phone eg E:downloads folder
   I then went to file manger and found the cert under E:download folder
   I doubled clicked the folder and was promted to save which I did
   The cert will be installed under Setting-->Phone-->Phone Mangement-->Security     Settings-->Certf mangement -->Authority certificate
Next you need to setup a new access point to do this i did:
go to Settings-->Connectivity-->Destinations-->Access point(add new)
you will then be promted to auto check to available access points which you will click yes
select the wlan you like to connect to and select internet
After doing the above go to Settings-->Connectivity-->Destinations-->Internet-->your wireless network ....open this to edit
Connection name -- leave defautl
Data bearer --leave default
Wlan Network name -- leave default
Network status -- leave default
Wlan network mode --leave default
WLAN security mode -- WPA/WPA2
Homepage --leave default
user access point --leave defualt
the only thing to change is WLAN security setting to do this
Double click WLAN security setting
WPA/WPA2 -- EAP
WPA2 only mode --off
Double click EAP plugin settings
enable EAP-PEAP
disable the rest
Double click EAP-PEAP to edit
Pesonal certificate ---Not defined
Authority certificate -- click and select the on you saved in the begining
User name in user -- user selected
User name -- your user name
Realm in use -- user selected
Realm -- your domain
TLS privacy --off
Allow PEAPv0 -- Yes
Allow PEAPv1 --no
Allow PEAPv2 --no
click right with the key pad or press the right arrow on top
enable EAP-MSCHAPv2 and disable the rest
Double click EAP-MSCHAPv2
User name -- you user name
Prompt passsword -- YES
Password -- you password
After this go back to Setting -->conectivity-->WLAN network
search for you WLAN select it and it should work..
this configuration worked for me

Hi guys, got some problems with my n97 and the eduroam eap-peap with mschap v2.
so we got this thing new in university, and i'm not able to connect to it.
all the iphone/windows guys just connect to the wlanpoint, accept the certificate, enter their userdata (without a realm ..) and its on. as we all know, its not that easy with symbian (and android) mobiles.
I allways find the eduroam with full signal strength, and add an accesspoint with the right settings.
I searched about an hour and i am sure i got the right settings.
Connection name -- blablabla
Data bearer --wlan
Wlan Network name -- eduroam
Network status -- open
Wlan network mode --infrastructure
WLAN security mode -- 802.1x
Double click WLAN security setting
WPA/WPA2 -- EAP
eap-only and at pos.1
Pesonal certificate ---Not defined
Authority certificate -- the certificate i downloaded from university (same as on IPhone, PC..)
User name in user -- user selected
User name -- eighter username@domain and blank realm or only username and domain in the realm field
Realm in use -- user selected
Realm -- see username
TLS privacy --off
Allow PEAPv0 -- Yes
Allow PEAPv1 --no
Allow PEAPv2 --no
enabled EAP-MSCHAPv2 and disabled the rest
User name -- you user name
Prompt passsword -- YES
Password -- you password
So i can't connect to it, i try to connect to it and after a while it wants me to put my username and passwort in it (when i use prompt password yes of course). i enter it, enter the password. after a while it asks me a second time.. after i do it again it says
EAP-PEAP Authentification failed
For me, as a technical interested guy, it seems to me, that the logininformation is not correct or not transfered correctly. Why else should it ask me a second time to input it.
But i tried all possibilities, even with other domains ... other possibility, that my account is banned is not possible because i tried it with an other one an it didnt work too.
I dont have a clue why this doesnt work.. as said before, i really tried every username possibility (leave it blank, with domain, without...)
thats what we got from the IT-Guys (some information):
http://www.hs-heilbronn.de/1401508/wlan_eduroam_en.pdf
It would be great if anyone got some help for me =)
btw: sorry for my english, i am german as you can imagine when you look at the pdf file

How to install Solaris 10 with Win XP on 2nd Hard Drive

hi everyone,
I'm totally new to Solaris. As an enthusiast, I wants to install Solaris 10 on my Win XP PC's 2nd Hard Drive(40GB, empty) from Solaris 10 DVD.
I need help from how to format 2nd Hard Drive to how can I configure the PC so it asks me which OS to load every time.
I will highly appreciate everyone's help as I've just joined SDN. Many Thanx in advance, Jags

Happened upon this post while searching for an answer to something else and figured I would give my 2 cents on what you are trying to do so as to offer you some other ideas, as in stuff I have done personally in similar situations, just in case the other suggestions don't work out (and to avoid repartitioning your main hdd if it is your ONLY computer with an OS you have available).
Assuming you have a standard tower or mid-tower with at least 1 free 5 1/4" bay open, and if your motherboard doesn't support booting from a slave drive, and if you prefer a hardware solution so your OS installs are isolated from each other to be certain no corruption happens, like I personally do*. Then you may consider a pair of key lock internal hard drive racks (newegg search "hard drive rack ide" or sata). You would need at least 1 free 5 1/4" bay for the rack mount, then place the hard drives in their housings, each set as master, and you can stick in which ever OS drive you want, turn the key, then boot up (I recommend storing drives not in use in some large anti-static bags for protection). If you have 2 open slots, like I did on my tower, then you can connect both to the same cable and leave both in at all times. Just make sure ONLY 1 drive is keyed "on" at a time, or else you will get errors due to duplicate masters set. Also make sure you ONLY turn the keys when the system is OFF, the racks do NOT make the drives hot-swappable, it is only to offer an easier solution for using multiple hard drives on one PC so you don't have to open the case all the time and potentially damage the pins or the drives when switching them out.. Also you may need longer cables depending on the motherboard controller placement and the size of your tower, 80 wire 40pin if you are dealing with IDE (when you get longer I've noticed less 80 wire and more slower 40 wire cables). As always when dealing with the actual hardware, be extra careful, make sure power is off and PC is unplugged, touch the PC power supply if you don't have better solutions such as anti-static mat/wrist band, etc. You probably know all of this, but just making sure.
*I lost a lot of data one of the first times I tried an open source OS many years ago (some Linux distro, I forget which), I tried to repartition my windows 98 drive, it worked fine for about a week booting between the two, then most my personal windows files suddenly were random sizes and random folders ended up full of garbage files with garbage file names among other peculiar things.. If I partition a drive I generally only do it BEFORE I put data on it or install OS's.. or at least make CERTAIN that I have adequate methods for restoring my OS and personal files (such as imaging my OS install to a larger drive temporarily, etc)..
Anyway, was just offering some possible alternatives to repartitioning your main OS drive.. -TCP

Re: Satellite L40-17U: How can I disable WLan switcher?

Hi, there!
How can I disable wi-fi switcher, which on the front of the laptop under the power, battery and hdd leds?
If it possible :)
Thanks.

Sorry buddy but I do not understand why you want to do this. I believe you are the first one who ask something like this. Can you please tell me why you want to do this?
If you do not want to use WLAN switch it OFF and be happy?

Satellite 3000-514: How to activate Intel WLan 2200BG hardware button

Hi.
I have a Toshiba Satellite 3000-514 and an Intel Centrino Mini-PCI WLan card. (Intel???® PRO/Wireless 2200BG) Running win-XP and Ubuntu on it.
Is there a solution to sidestep the problem, that the wlan-software wants me to push a hardware-button to activate wireless lan, that my Laptop just don't have?
In a german forum someone mentioned solving the problem by using "easy button", a program I already downloaded from Toshiba.
But you can only choose .exe files to be connected to a button. Is there an .exe file to make the software think I pushed that not existion wlan-hardwarebutton?
*sigh* Help!?
Thanks in advance. Sorry for my bad english.

Hm,
sounds tricky. I have no software solution for you, but I have an alternative solution for you.
Since you are a german guy, you can check/read this:
ttp://cgi.ebay.de/54Mbit-ATHEROS-802-11g-b-G-Wi-Fi-WLAN-MINI-PCI-KARTE-RG_
W0QQitemZ250170200040QQihZ015QQcategoryZ79551QQssP ageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem]
Its an atheros card like I have in my Tecra 9100. So, I had many many problems with intel card since they require a full working centrino
platform to work and so most of these cards need a "hardware" switch (in your case a button) to work.
With the atheros card you dont have these problems with switch/button since they are working anytime without need of switches or buttons.
The disadvantage is that you cannot disable the card for power saving purposes.
So I hope I could help you. Would appreciate some feedback. :)
Nice weekend.

Satellite A505-S69803 - How to replace the Wlan card?

Before I go into the details of my problem.
I have rolled out a DSL product, set up hundreds of wireless routers. I was a notebook service tech for 3 years for laptops as well.
I picked up a toshiba cause the price is right, and so far I am learning you get what you pay for.
This machine has a realtek wireless card.
As everyone knows.. Realtek == cheaply made bad hardware.
Toshiba refuses to replace this card.
I need to buy a new card for this laptop.
I need to know if this is a mini-pci, half height mini-pci, a pci-e, or mini-pci-e card.
I plan on getting an intel for it.
I also need the whitepapers so I can remove the wrist pad / bezel on this unit. They have users guides, but unlike other notebook manufacturers, do not have their service manuals available.
Any assistance to get this laptop fixed would be appreciated. It is leaving town with my parents soon.

hi vlad2,
realtek is also known to run perfekt under linux - this indicates that the hardware isnt so bad as you think...
toshiba sells the unit as specified - if you wanna have some other hardware choose another notebook modell or replace the wlan by yourself...
if unsure what card is in it , open the door under which the card is located - for an notebook tech pro like you no big thing - and check it.
replacing this piece should be easy...
to answer your complaint: +"Toshiba refuses to replace this card."+
sure this! if it works there is no need to replace and you will get allways the same as spare because this modell comes with it...
i dont like it to repeat me but a notebook technician should be able to disassemble this machine (you will ruin your warranty with this action)
disassembling the covers is a service partner thing - not for customers...
by the way: +"I am learning you get what you pay for"+ means what you see is what you get, spending some extra money is not bad at all...
you cant get a mercedes for the price of a little car...
and whats your technical problem with the wlan?

Satellite L500/013 - How to make dual boot of Windows 7 and XP?

Hi
I just bougth my first Toshiba laptop, it comes with Windows 7 Professional pre-installed. Before I start spending hours on this, I am just wondering if this can be done:
1) I would like to use the Windows 7 Professional in 64 bit mode and then
2) Create second partition on HD to install Windows XP 32 bit on it.
Just wondering about if this is possible and what is the recommended sequence for the install is. First thing I need to do is to create recovery disk for Windows 7, so I assume I need to configure Windows 7 first?
Thanks for any help
Thomas

> First thing I need to do is to create recovery disk for Windows 7, so I assume I need to configure Windows 7 first?
Well, this is strongly recommended!!! Before you would do anything with your HDD you should create the recovery disk!!!
Im not quite sure how you could set up an dual boot using Win 7 because I didnt try this but I did it using Vista.
First of all you have to create an second partition in Vista. This could be done in Disk Management.
Then I installed Win XP on the second partition. But after the XP installation I could not start Vista because Vista boot manager was damage by Win XP.
To fix this I have used a original Vista disk (not recovery disk). I booted the Vista DVD and this has repaired the Vista boot manager. In Vista I have installed EasyBCD.
EsayBCD is a small tool which helped to add the Win XP to the Vistas boot manager.
After new reboot Vista and Win XP appeared in the boot manager and I could choose between both OS.
I think you will need the same procedure using Win 7

How to switch off SAML with WSRP

Hi all,
I want to integrate SAP EP as a producer fpr WLP 10.3.2 as a consumer. For that I want to switch off SAML stuff since I want to start simple.
Any hints how I can switch off SAML and how I can use username and password instead?
Many thanks in advance
-Peter

Hello Nate,
I made the changes to mentioned but SAML is still on.
I started a test with the OpenPortal WSRP project (https://wsrp.dev.java.net/public/Download.html) on Glassfish for the producer.
Below you see a Wireshark recording (OpenPortal WSRP). The SAML stuff is still there,
Any further ideas?
Many thanks
Peter

Operating system: how to switch CS6, LR from Win to Mac?

i have bought both cs6 and Lightroom in window environment , recently I plan to switch to Mac system. Please advice how to proceed with the migration. Thank you

CS6 for Windows requires a platform swap: Order product | Platform, language swap
You'll be issued a new Mac serial number and you won't be able to use your Windows serial number any more.
The serial number for Lightroom is multi-platform. Just download the Mac installer onto your Mac and enter your existing serial number.
