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.

Satellite T130 - No wireless adapter in device manager

I only got connected to the internet yesterday. The internet worked fine, but on shut-down I had the first round of Windows updates. Now I have exactly the same situation - no wireless adapter in the device manager, no unknown or 'other' devices (some posts suggest update driver for these then it will recognise). I had not played around with the system settings at all (only had the laptop for a month) and even restoring it to before I had the internet has not got it back. Interestingly when I turn on the computer the 'internet' LED on my router blinks for a few seconds - suggesting some communication as I am the only computer connected. Also as it worked fine before (and the laptop has not even been moved) I do not believe the many responses to posts about "hardware problems". After seeing many similar questions in this and the US forum I wish I had never bought this laptop. Because I have not seen any posts with a solution apart from taking it into the service centre!
I really don't want to go down the service centre route with a brand new PC. I will never again buy Toshiba unless they offer me a downloadable/phone solution when I call them tomorrow.
I really hope someone from Toshiba is taking all these posts seriously. Don't do a Toyota.

Hi buddy,
To be honest I dont know what problem you have.
First of all its not important if your notebook is brand new or not. Such problems can happen on all computers, even if they are only few days old. Every parts are electrical parts and can die always. Nobody is able to say when it happens or can avoid this.
For example with a new car you can also have problems after few days and then you also go to the service point. ;)
Back to your problem:
You can try restoring to factory settings. If this doesnt work it seems to be a hardware malfunction but make sure that WLAN adapter is enabled with FN+F8 key combination.
I doubt that somebody from Toshiba will read your posting. Its only an user to user forum where you can talk with normal users. Toshiba isnt your first contact person, its always the authorized service provider.
Here you can search for an ASP in your country:

Good luck and I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

Satellite L300D - Error code 19 in device manager on CD/DVD drive

I have a Satellite L300D model PSLC0E and have just installed Windows 7 upgrade from Vista, all is running well apart from HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N ATA DEVICE and ATI. With the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N ATA DEVICE there is a driver problem it says <Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)>it seems to do with NTI Backup 4, have tried updating to NTI Backup Now 4.5 but still no luck.
With ATI I have run updates and reinstalled the program, checking the system it shows that it is installed and the every thing is running but I do not seem to be able to change the display settings the largest is 1200 x 800, I seem to think that with ATI there should be more but not sure because when I start to run a game the screen size changes to 1024 x 768 and i cannot change anything. Any body got any Ideas?

Hi
1)Have you also tried to remove the upper- and lowerfilters in registry? I have noticed in forum that this does solve this error code. On the Microsoft Knowledge Base you can find a workaround for this:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
2)I have also Satellite L300D and the maximum screen resolution is 1200x800. So you can set a higher screen resolution on internal monitor, this is only possible on external monitor.
And normally you can change the screen resolution in every game. Check this!!!

Satellite L500-14X - Battery does not charge after upgrade to Win 8

HI,
after upgrating my laptop to Win 8 the battery stops charging...
the message says..."pluged but not charging"....
Any suggestion........exept to reinstall win7...??

Hi
Usually there is no big difference between the Win 7 and Win 8 so I really dont understand why this battery issue should be related to Win 8.
In my opinion its not Win 8 problem and I think even if you would install Win 7, this issue would not be solved
Try this:
Disconnect the AC adaptor and remove the battery
Now leave the notebook disconnected for a longer period of time (10 hours)
Then press and hold power button 30 sec long and then connect both parts.
The Ac adaptor should be connected for a longer period of time to allow the system to pre-charge the Battery

Once Installation is completed, I faced problem in starting Dolby Audio driver, I have installed the latest driver and it got resolved.
Next came the problem in Bluetooth device in accepting files from my mobile, then done the same. Installed latest driver and it too got resolved. But still i am facing the message "Unknown device" in Lenovo Support Center in Device Manager.
I have checked in Device Manager. But no device is indicated in yellow color.
Please let me know, how to identify which device is causing this problem and how to rectify this.
My Laptop details:
Model : G580
Product ID : 20150
Let me know if you want more details.
Thanks,
Sathish Kumar

Hi Yigit,
As I have already mentioned, I didn't find any device which is indicated as Unknown in Device Management.
I have shared the Images for your better understanding. It is only displayed in Lenovo Support Center alone.

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 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.

Battery is not recognized properly on Satellite L500

Hi all.
Ive Toshiba Satellite L500 with Windows7. Two days ago a red cross appeared over battery indicator and notice: 30% available, plugged in, not charging. Consider replacing your battery.
And when I plug off AC laptop shuts down. I replaced the battery but the same action when plug out AC the computer shuts down. Run some antivirus programs no results. I installed a battery tester who told me that battery is not installed. Run SCF program not bad files.
Tried with power manager no results.
My battery works well on other similar laptop.
Pls help !!!

Hi mate
Are you using the latest BIOS?
Please check this!
You can access the BIOS pressing F2 at the beginning.
There you will find the BIOS version.
Compare this with the available BIOS on Toshiba page and update it if necessary.
I cannot say for sure that this would solve you problem but its definitely worth a try.

Will it charge when connected to a wall outlet? The USB port on your computer must be 2.0

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

Can you Help - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10
Model No PSA15E-01PFQ-EN
Serial No Y3602494G
Windows XP Pro
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 ?
Same problem here: [http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/386506-33-devices-detected-device-manager-format-win7]
What should i do ? i've tried lots of drivers , but no one works. Please , give me advice. Thank you.

But when installion beggins, in description is written , that this version chipset utility (9.3.0.1020) supports i7 proccesors (Target Chipset#: Intel(R) 7 Series/C216 Chipset Family). Is this chipset utility suitable with my Intel i5 3210M proccesor ? One more i've tried Display drivers, but setup isn't starting.

IPod appearing in Device Manager as unknown device

Hi, I'm currently using an iPod Nano 4th Gen. and it is appearing in Device Manager as an unknown device. I found this out after the error message "USB device not recognised" or something, and followed instructions. I'm currently clueless on what to do. My OS is Windows 8. When I go into properties of the unknown device (iPod) the device status is: Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43). And in details, I get: USB\DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR_FAILURE
If you need any more information to help me, please do not hesitate to request it. I just really would like this issue to be solved. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for the update, passionflower
I think next would be a good idea to shutdown the computer, and disconnect everything from it. Let it sit for a minute or two, then plug it all back up and turn the computer on, then try again.
Next I would start troubleshooting the USB ports on the computer. I would start with this troubleshooting.
On the Start menu, click Control Panel.
Double-click the System icon.
Click the Hardware tab.
Click Device Manager.
Scroll down the list of devices to the Universal Serial Bus controllers
Click the plus icon next to the Universal Serial Bus controllers.
Double-click one of the indented USB Root Hub entries.
Click the Power Management tab.
Deselect the "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" option.
Click the OK button at the bottom of the window.
Restart the computer.
From: iPod not recognized when connected to Windows laptop over USB
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1401
And then this troubleshooting
Plug the device directly into a high-power USB 2.0 port on the computer. If possible, use a USB port on the back of the computer.
Avoid plugging the device into a keyboard, display, or standalone hub. The USB ports on these accessories may be low-power or only offer USB 1.x connections.
If you are using an accessory, remove the accessory and connect the device to the computer using only the Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cable.
If you have access to additional Apple 30-pin to USB Cable or Lightning to USB Cables, try testing with another if the first one doesn't work.
Restart your computer and device. To restart your device:
Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off your device. When it is off, press the Sleep/Wake button to turn it back on.
Disconnect all USB devices from your computer, except for your keyboard and mouse. Then reconnect the iOS device. If the issue is resolved, reconnect other USB devices, testing after each connection.
From: iOS: Troubleshooting USB connection
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1286
If you have another computer you can also test the iPod Nano there to help isolate whether the issue is with the iPod or the computer.
And just in case the issue is still not resolved, I want to thank you for using the Apple Support Community. Due to the nature of your issue you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
All the very best,

DVD-ROM drive Code 37 error message in device manager on Satellite M30

Hi
I am new to this forum and wonder if anyone can help? I have a Satellite M 30-106 which has the CD indicated above installed. At present it will not work at all when I go to Device manager the error massage I get is as follow "Windows cannot initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)".
Can someone offer me some advice please.
Thanks
Trevor

Hi
I have investigated in the Microsoft knowledge base and it seems that this error appears because the driver returned failure from its Driver Entry routine.
I think you should uninstall the driver, and then click Scan for hardware changes to reinstall or upgrade the driver.
You can do this in the device manager. In another way you could remove the drive from the device manager list and after new notebook reboot the OS should recognize the drive again.
After this procedure you should test the device if it will work.

IPAD 1 problems after ios 5.1.1 update, itunes does not recognize IPAD.. I check the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (My ipad) but unable to use it.

I am using the generation 1 IPAD.
I recently updated my ios from ios 4 to ios 5.1.1, I did the restore after the update and all seemed fine as it was detected the first time.
I tried connecting the IPAD again but it shows that the computer, itunes is not able to detect the IPAD.
I checked on the device manager, it identifies an unknown device (IPAD) and says no software for the driver. I am using windows 7 on my laptop. I never had any such problem with the iso 4. Any suggestions as to how this can be solved?
Thanks,
Vinay

Thank you, I tried uninstalling the device driver to reinstall again. After doing the scan for hardware changes, nothing flashes on the device manager. I dont see anything related to the IPAD or any other device for which driver shows unidentified device. It is as though the device is not being seen by the computer at all..
I even tried flashing the home/sleep buttons together but that doesnt seem to identify any device either.
Anything else I am missing?

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
