Satellite P70-A-L1M WiFi indicator stays ON after upgrade to Win 8.1

Hello.
After updating to Windows 8.1 wireless indicator always stays on (red light), no matter if WiFi is actually on or off. When I press f12 key, WiFi goes to Airplane Mode, I have an apropriate message in Windows, everything is ok.
But the LED is on anyway.
In Windows 8 it worked as it should be.
All drivers are up to date.
Is there is any way to resolve it?

Exactly.

Disabled BT separetly. After that disabled WiFi - the result is the same. Tried to disable wifi using f12 button - nothing...May be there should be some kind of BIOS support for this feauture. But there is still no BIOS update for my laptop since its release.

System recovery fails after upgrade to Win 8.1 on Satellite L75D-A7283

My elderly uncle forgot the password to his Win 8 user account sometime after upgrading to Win 8.1. He was the administrator, we haven't been able to get Microsoft to reset the account, so I thought to roll back the computer to its factory installation of Win 8.
However, when I try to do that, I get as far as the Reset your PC screen and find that the only target OS is Win 8.1, not the original Win 8. Ok, I accept that. But after choosing to restore Win 8.1, it says "Unable to reset your PC. A required drive partition is missing."
I have examined the disk by removing it and attaching it to another computer and find that both the original Win 8 recovery partition and the new Win 8.1 GPT recovery partition are both there. They just don't seem to be accessible.
It seems that the Win 8.1 upgrade has made the original factory recovery partition inaccessible, which is not particularly helpful. We have no recovery disks to work from, so I think my only recourse is to try to get a Win 8 factory recovery disk from Toshiba, but I wondered if anyone else has a suggestion? Thanks.

It's my understanding the upgrade does not modify any other partitions while upgrading Windows itself. Seems likely something else is wrong.
If you did not create recovery media before and cannot do so now, then obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
All the information in the section Recovering the Internal Storage Drive, which begins on p. 53 of the User's Guide, should still be applicable.

WiFi (Key) stopped working after upgrade to Windows 10

I thought I would post this on the forum for those who are having the same problem because help for this issue is few and far between compared to the number of pleas for assistance from HP owners. When I upgraded to Windows 10 on my Pavilion, the WiFi stopped working and I could not turn it on using the hot key (F12). I searched for answers and worked hours trying to solve it until I came upon the only suggestion that worked for me: I had to disable fast boot (power options, change what the buttons do, "change settings that are currently unavailable" (?!?)) , so I could get into the bios and then I went into the bios by pressing f10 during boot. Reset them to defaults. (Changed from default back to what I wanted) saved and the wifi button turned white after pressing during windows 10 boot up. EDIT: If it does not turn on right away, try turning it on through the wifi settings. I hope this can help a few, who like me, struggled endlessly for a problem that few HP mods seem to be responding to. Cheers.

Put your part number (PSKK2U-028002) in here. It will take you to a page that has 12 Windows 10-compatible downloads. Unfortunately, a WiFi driver is not one of them.
But there is this:
Your selected Toshiba PC is supported for upgrade to Windows 10, but not all of the software for the upgrade is available at this time. Additional software will be posted here when it is ready. Please check back at a later time.

Wifi erratic on 4S after upgrading and not working even after resetting to factory setting. Why should apple isolate itself from their own product problems Matter of shame when they are not ready to communicate with the customer means they are dead.

Dear Sir/Madam Since the wifi is not coming ON how can I open this diagnostic on the iphone 4S am using and having problem with wifi behaving in erratic manner.
Am a professional engineer for projects and am 68 yrs old. At one time was looking after a production line manufacturing I C's in semiconductors manufacturing company of the US.
Have four apple products, one hp laptop and one DELL professional computer at home is used by only two members me and my wife.
Wife prefers working on ipad2 or ipad mini while traveling and has iphone 4. Am using iphone4S with laptop and Dell computer, No apple product is more than two years old.
Am having the problem in using wifi on the 4S after it was upgraded to the latest ios as per the recommendation by your software of my iphone 4S
The wifi card hangs up at it's own will and even a visit to your authorized service center in Delhi has not able to help me although they have reverted the ios back to the
one supplied with the set. Am a user and not a computer expert but it looks like the wifi card is not able to some times take the load while working which could indicate the wifi card is getting heated up.
My daughter who is Masters in 3D Animation is an ardent fan of apple products working at present in Canada was also gifted by me a 4S about 4 months back. My daughter-in-law is using iphone4 and an ipad for her professional works along with a Dell PC in the US. While my son is a fan of samsung products and does not like an apple product.
So in a family we have 7 apple products except MAC laptop/PC.
But the fact is, this problem with 4S has really shaken me up and now it seems your products are deteriorating in quality while demanding the best pricing structures.
Since this is purely the device and the software of apple problem you may please replace this set with new one as neither have any time to push you/ request you after your service centre
in Delhi told me yesterday this cannot be repaired.
The serial No of my set is DN*****TC0 and was bought from an authorized dealer and so were the other products from the same dealer in Delhi. This set is still in showroom condition and
was never used without a protective cover.

WiFi Internet connectivity problems after upgrade to 10.8.4

After upgrading to MacOS 10.8.4 I am facing regular interruptions to my WiFi internet connectivity. Periodically the internet connectivity is lost and the only way to fix the problem is to turn WiFi off and on again. This happens frequently when I am downloading files at using big bandwidth (more than 1.5-2 MB/s). If I use assist me on the Network preferences tab, it displays an ISP error when the connectivity is down, however I am certain that I do nota have any kind of ISP or router issue since at the same time I have WiFi internet connectivity from my iPad mini, iPhone 4S and Samsung Galaxy S3. Therefore it should be a 10.8.4 issue

Wifi problem with Mac after upgrade to Mavericks

I just upgraded to Mavericks but something wrong with my wifi.
i can get internet through LAN link from Airport but not through wifi even i can receive an IP address
i tried connect to hotspot with my iphone5s and it works.
Other devices can use wifi just fine through Airport, just not my Mac using Mavericks
In conclusion,
Airport should be fine because my other devices works.
Mac wifi should be fine too because i can connect using hotspot.
so why it's not working when i connect Mac to Airport?

I was having problems connecting to Wifi with my Macbook Pro (!2010), after upgrading to Mavericks. I was on the phone repeateadly with AT&T because I have Uverse. Testing everything (channels, signal strength) and had techs come out to check the line, ports, switches, etc. When I hardwired the Mac into the Uverse router, it worked fine. This rulled out any problems with the line in.
I considered getting a repeater but then I read that repeaters are not really good and it is better to reconfigure a router to act as an access point on the network. Plunked down about $80 for a Belkin AC750 router at Best Buy. In the setup it has an option to set it up as an access point only. Clicked that, connected it to my Motorola NVG510 Uverse modem and then connected to the Belkin router from my Mac. Voila! It's been a solid 11+ Mbs ever since (my plan maxes at 12Mbs). Connection is still solid and life if good even though it ***** to plunk down another $80 for a second router. But it was worth it just to get rid of the headaches.
I think the wifi capabilities of the Motorola NVG510 modem are the cause of a lot of problems with AT&T Uverse issues, particularly for Mac owners. I think it was also causing my Airport Expresses to drop occasionally.... Few minutes of music then drop... music drop.... All gone now.
I don't know if you are on Uverse but if so, I highly recommend configuring a second router as an acces point (it can be any old router you still might have - the setup is just a bit trickier because you have to do it manually).
Good luck.

WIFI intermittent connectivity issues after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2

Hi,
WIFI seems to be dropping a lot after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. I even took the iPad back to Apple and they replaced it with a new one with iOS7, which was working fine, then the same problem resurfaced after upgrading to iOS 8.0.2. I can't use my iPad in the evening at all.
My iPhone is fine after the upgrade though.
Clearly an iOS8 software issuse on iPads?
Thanks

Similar thing happened to me.. Seems like the bug has not been solved.. I managed to restore to iOS 8 and this resolved the issue, at least for the time-being!
Apple team, my sincere request to you:Please attend this bug asap. It really dissolves the purpose of an iPhone..
Keeping my fingres crossed till then!

HT4528 iPhone 4s' wifi doesn't work after upgrading to iOS 7

My Verizon iPhone 4s will not connect to wifi after upgrading to iOS 7. You would think Apple would have figured this problem out before releasing iOS 7 to the public. Any fixes?

After having trying everything out on the web, I found a fix that worked out. The thing to do is to deactivate your phone and then reactivate it. The way to do it is to first power off the phone. Then take out the SIM card. Then power on the phone and make an emergency call for about 5 sec. Turn the power off. Place the SIM card back into the phone. Power on the phone and plug it into the computer and to itune. Itune will then ask for your user name and password. The wifi will be working.
All you have to do then, is reinstall your saved restored file.
That's it !!

Wifi is extremely slow after upgrading to Yosemite

After upgrading to Yosemite, i have extremely slow connection on Wifi and also Ethernet connecting to the internet. Had no problems with Mavericks and also my other wifi devices.
Have tried deleting my network configuration and starting again and also have deleted my System Configuration folder with no success
can anyone help??

Finally found the solution. Apparently it is as I have guessed. The fault lies with the latest HTML 5 player added with safari instead of flash player to save battery.
The problem was solved by selection Safari 7.1 from developer option !!

Toshiba Satellite C40D-A HD recovery solution to lost password after upgrade to win 8.1?

Hi,
Part No.: PSCDSL-009001
After I bought this laptop in Manila, I initiated it with ONE local account, and NO password, and created a USB recovery stick.
There are no privacy-critical data on it, so I'm perfectly happy using it without password.
It came with Windows 8.
Lately I was 'offered' an upgrade to Windows 8.1 through some window in Windows, which I accepted, assuming my old account would be migrated.
During the upgrade, I was forced to get and enter a Microsoft Outlook.com account in order to be able to continue.
I don't want an outlook.com account, still assumed that my previous account would be properly migrated (which it *should*), and registered a bogus outlook.com account, started working, and forgot about the account.
After some time of inactivity and before I was able to create a new recovery USB, the laptop went into sleep modus, after which it was impossible for me to login again, because the thing was asking for my outlook.com account, which I had forgotten, and didn't want in the first place.
Account recovery @ accounts.live.com is impossible due to lack of sufficient data 'to confirm my identity'.
So now I'm considering a HDD recovery, if possible. There are however some questions to be answered before I proceed with that.
1. Is there a possibility that this laptop (bought in a quite well known shop in the Asia Mall in Manila) has some irregular windows installed, so that it will be impossible to recover it? And will I be notified of that before I destroy my original windows 8?
2. Do I need a windows activation key in order to use it after the recovery? (I don't have/can't find one.)
3. To be sure, I looked at https://support.toshiba.com/support/serviceUnitVerification?orderType=SFF in order to check if I'd be able to get a recovery media, but it says: "Please verify you entered the correct serial number, and that your PC was sold in the eligible region."
Now I checked the serial No., and my entry was correct (from the sticker on the laptop), and I have no idea what 'sold in the eligible region' has to do with it, nor do I understand what it is referring to.
4. I have had a linux distribution installed on it before, but have been so careful (enough, I hope) to ONLY remove the partition with the windows installation. Proof of this, is that I was able to reinstall windows 8, before the upgrade to 8.1) from the USB drive. Would this history interfere with a succesful recovery back to windows 8?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Solved!

Satellite C40D-A108 (PSCDSL-009001) Specs
First, this is the peer support forum for Toshiba USA, which hosts the forum on their website. While you're still welcome here, your unit is a Toshiba Asia model, and you can register with them at the previous link. So, that's why you get the "Please verify....that your PC was sold in the eligible region." message. Your unit's serial number would not be regisitered with Toshiba USA.
With regard to your questions:
1) - I doubt it's an illegal copy of Windows if you bought it at a reputable shop. Plus, you would not have been able to 'Activate' Windows 8, nor been offered the upgrade to Windows 8.1 if the original copy was illegal.
2) - No, you don't need an activation key to use the Toshiba Recovery.
3 & 4) If you used the Toshiba Recovery USB to rebuild Windows 8 before the Win8.1 upgrade, it is no proof at all that you did not destroy, damage or corrupt the Toshiba Recovery Partition on the hard drive when you installed Linux. However, by using the recovery USB, you would have rebuilt the Toshiba Recovery Partition nonetheless. If you in fact 'upgraded' your Win8 installation to Win8.1, as opposed to doing a 'clean' or 'custom' install of Win8.1, then the recovery partition should still be intact.
Bottom line, if your recovery partition is sill intact and accessible, or if you still have the Toshiba Recovery USB, either way, you can still rebuild your system to its factory default out-of-the-box setup, that is to Windows 8. But, you'd have to satisfy Microsoft, you are who you say you are to get back to Windows 8.1.
You should take a good look at the appropriate sections of your User's Guide.
Get back to us again if you have any more questions. Good luck.
