Satellite P100-253: How to enable speaker lights

Hello out there...
I have read some post inhere who refere to Blue LED light under the speaker...
My question is, there is NO blue LED light in both of my "speakers", i have a P100-253, so where can i turn it on ? or is there no Blue LED on this model ???

I found information that the models with integrated Intel 945GM graphic card are delivered without blue LED speakers and the models delivered with NVIDIA graphic card have blue LED speakers.
Please also check this thread:
There you will find units with speaker lights and units without the light under the speakers

Satellite P100-324: How to downgrade BIOS to version 2.40

I have the Toshiba Satellite P100-324 with BIOS version 3.30. I need to downgrade BIOS to version 2.40 because it help with stuttering problem when playing games on Windows Vista. But the problem is the version 2.40 is unavailable at Toshiba Europe website (I'm from Russia). I have found this version (one mate gave it to me), but it is for P105 models (US version).
The question is - can I use US version of BIOS 2.40 for my european P100? Is it compatible?

Hi guys
I found this very interesting discussion and I have to clarify something.
You dont need to update the BIOS to another version to play the different games on the Vista OS.
The games couldnt run properly due to the Vista OS.
Several weeks ago Microsoft has published and hotfix which solves some problems with the Multi GPU support on Vista. It was useful for users which use the gamer computer with 2 GPUs
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B936710
Now the Microsoft has published and patch which solves the problems with the virtual address space usage. This was a reason why some games crashed or didnt run smoothly.

How to enable keyboard light and BT on Satellite A500D-10E

Hello.
I would like to turn on the backlight on my keyboard on my Toshiba Satellite A500D-10E.
But I can not find the on button. I read in the manual and it said to use fn+z, however this combination does nothing on my keyboard.
Is there another way to turn it on.
Also I cannot get my bluetooth to work, It allways get stuck during installation. Is there a bluetooth unit built into Toshiba Satellite A500D-10E?
Bjorn H.

Hi
You should know that not all A500D are equipped with the same hardware parts.
There are different hardware configurations
So A500D-10E does not support Bluetooth and therefore you cannot enable the BT module.
I think its the same with keyboard if the keyboard does not contain such sign then this would mean that keyboard backlight is not supported.
I think you can find in user manual a information that such function is supported only by certain notebook models.

Satellite P100-221 - How can I access WiFi networks?

I have a P100-221.
I want to access WiFi networks.
I dont know how to do it. Which driver should I install?
Any help please?
Regards
Nevzat

Hello
If Windows recognize a WiFi network you can access and normally you will need a password. If you know this, you have access to the network.
Furthermore WLAN must be enabled with the WiFi switch on the notebook and by pressing FN+F8.
For this its not necessary to install a driver but if you need a driver you can find it on the Toshiba website.
I think you should look in the user manual. There you can a lot of informations about your notebook and informations how to access to a WiFi networks.
Sometimes its very useful the user manual.

Satellite A660-11M - How to enable WiFi?

Hi. I have a Satellite A660-11M with key features
-Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery)
-Intel Core i7-720QM Processor
Wifi:
Compliancy : Wi-Fi
Network Support : 802.11b/g/n
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Wireless Technology : Wireless LAN
Manufacturer : Broadcom
Wireless Technology : Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
It has been working fine but after the children were using the machine and shut it down I cannot see the Router using the wifi.
I tried the hardware switch on the media strip between the keyboard and the screen and none of the buttons respond; I suspect this may be the issue.
Fn F8 brings up the wifi fn display but clicking on it will not enable it. Trouble shooting informs me to "Turn on Wireless Capability" but as stated above, the media strip appears to be inactive. I can connect normally using the cable to the router.
I tried a System Restore but that didn't help.
So although I have a sinking feeling I am missing something obvious, any thoughts before I start reloading wifi driver and resetting BIOS? If that is the recommended approach, what driver controls the media strip
Many thanks for any help.

Thanks for all your assistance... Got it sorted:
For anyone else with this model, *it was a hardware fault.*
You need to undo one of the screws on the underside of the laptop (I undid them all 8o() and gently lift up the keyboard fascia from the top (directly above the function buttons). Under here you will find a small ribbon cable from the media panel to the motherboard... this had come undone.
Reconnected, rebooted, job's a good'un.
Genuinely impressed with how supportive this forum is... in Arnie's immortal words: I'll be back!

Satellite P10-804: How to enable the battery icon visible on the task bar?

how do I do enable the battery icon visible on the task bar? currently I can only have the type of power save mode e.g. bulb & colour.
I have tried to activate right clicking taskbar/properties/notification areas, found required icon & instructed to always show, however the batery icon remains hidden.
Help??

One question: Did you try to set several settings in the Windows own power options?
However, I would say some registry keys are corrupt and therefore the battery icon cannot be displayed in the task manager.
Probably only the new installation can help you displaying the icon in the task bar.

Satellite P750-13F - How to enable backlit keyboard on Windows 8

Hello!
today i installed Windows 8 premium on my P750-13F, which has a backlit keyboard. In order to upgrade to Windows 8 I had to uninstall some Toshiba drivers and other programs.
Now I have Windows 8 fully functional, but I don't know how to access to the FN button functions (Screen brightness, wifi on/off, volume up/down).
Now that that FN-button is innoperative the function that I miss the most is the one for keyboard illumination, because I can still do everything else by some other ways (I mean volume up/down, screen brightness etc.) but i don't know how to illuminate the keyboard now.
I tried installing Toshiba Hardware Setup Utility, but it won't install with Windows 8. I don't really care much if the FN-button remains innoperative (although it would be nice if it wouldn't) but what I really want is to be able to change the keyboard illumination.
I will be very thankfull for any ideas.

Toshiba need time to prepare and test the Windows 8 drivers so you need to wait a while.
Update drivers "Coming soon."

You need the Toshiba Value Added Package for Win8 & P750, and possibly the Flashcards support utility as well.

Hi
I have Satellite P100 (PSPAD), and my cd/dvd drive (I dont know how or when) suddenly disappeard, it does not appear in my computer or device manager,
I tried this but coul not find the lowerfilters so i delite the upperfilter and restart the computer but that did not work.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Caution There can be many instances of the registry subkey that is mentioned in step 2.
You must make sure that you are in the appropriate registry subkey before modifying the UpperFilters and the LowerFilters values.
To verify that you are in the appropriate registry subkey, make sure that the Default data value is DVD/CD-ROM and the Class data value is CDROM.
3. In the right pane, right-click UpperFilters, and then click Delete.
4. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the UpperFilters registry entry.
5. In the right pane, right-click LowerFilters, and then click Delete.
6. Click Yes to confirm the removal of the LowerFilters registry entry.
7. Exit Registry Editor, and then restart the computer.

Hi guys
Just one question;
Are you able to boot from the bootable disk like Toshiba recovery disk, Windows XP CD, Vista DVD or Linux live CD???
If yes, then you should try to reinstall the OS.
If not then this would mean that the CD/DVD drive malfunctions.
*@BlackJack_1*
You said the CD/DVD drive has been recognized by BIOS.
Do you see the whole CD/DVD drive title/name or you can see just the CD/DVD drive option.
You should also test if you can boot from one of the mentioned disk and to ensure that this is not a hardware issue!

Satellite P100-192: crackling sound coming from speaker when using MSN

Hello, i have just bought this p100-192 laptop. The speakers seem to muffle ( especially whenever there is an incoming message in MSN )
Does anyone know why and a solution to it ????

Hi,
I own a Satellite P100-188 and the sound crackled in windows with driver 3.11.0.0 and BIOS 2.10, after sending the notebook back to Toshiba only for them to install driver version 3.11.0.51 I found that some sounds where not playing at all. I have come to the conclusion that the Conexant sound chip (or hardware) is just rubbish, for instance take the sound volume of the beep tone when hitting caps lock or num lock compared to the general volume, which, at full volume is barely audible!
I myself went back to using version 3.11.0.0 as I would rather have crackling sound than missing sounds. I'm considering purchasing a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA sound card as I play games a lot on my notebook. If sound is important for you, you may want to consider it too.
An eaiser way to check your BIOS version is to click Start select Run... and enter this line in the dialog box
TInTouch.exe and hit enter.
Then switch to the Protect and Fix tab and left click PC diagnostic tool, it will list all the information on your notebook.
This is how I updated my BIOS, I downloaded the win update file and unzipped it, I then ran the Phoenix Winphlash program and entered a bios backup destination and browsed to the .wph file which was in the folder that the program unzipped to, I then followed the onscreen prompts and that was it, the machine re-booted with the new bios installed.

Satellite U500 - How to enable Intel virtualization technology?

How to enable Intel Virtualization Technology on Satellite U500 or if this feature is already available or not because im VMware configure in my laptop and when I wont to run it I'm getting the message
*You have configured this virtual machine to use a 64-bit guest operating system. However, 64-bit operation is not possible. This host does not support VT.*
By the way my Laptop is Core2duo, Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, RAM 3GB

Hi hersi,
Yes, thats the important model number.
According the Toshiba website your model has Intel Core2Duo T6600 CPU. So I have checked the Intel page directly and T6600 CPU doesnt support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). You can check this yourself:

Unfortunately there is no option to enable Virtualization :(

How to turn the light on on a Satellite P300-23V + user guide on CD

I wonder how you turn the light on on a SATELLITE P300-23V?
I mean the light that show a lightbar above the touchpad and and the name Satellite is lit up too.
In the manual it says how to do it with the thin remote controll but there is no on this model.
I know I have been able to turn of/on the light with some key combination before but now I can't find it now.
I have upgraded from Vista 32bit to Windows 7 64bit and maybe some Thoshiba features was lost doing that?
I have also lost my CD with the more extended user guide. I have searched for it on the download area but it seems not be there for downloading.
Any hints how to get it?

This forum is great!
The answers comes so quickly!
Thank you for your answers. They solved both my problems.
I could have sworn that I used some buttons on the keypad to light up the lamps but apparantly not.
I found it in the BIOS as you said and it works.
And now I also have the user guide which is more extended than the printed one.
Once again: THANX!

>How to enable the lcd sensor to automatically boot while i open the lcd
You want to boot up the notebook by opening the lid. Right?
In this case you have to enable the option within the Windows 8 system settings
[Why does my Windows 8 notebook start automatically when opening the display lid?|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ2C03FA0001R01.htm]
You have to look for the option called: +Panel Open - Power On" feature+
This option needs to be enabled in order to boot up the computer automatically when the display lid is open

How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

Hi
I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
Is there any advice on what I should do.

Hi
What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
> I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS
Bye
