Satellite P850 - question about Infrared port

Hi,
I have Windows 8 Pro installed onto my laptop and I've downloaded all the drivers and everything is working fine apart from the Infrared. I've searched all over the internet and I can't find a remote control to use with this laptop (including the Toshiba website).
I've installed the latest ENE CIR Driver (v4.1) as well as the Toshiba Remote Control Manager (v3.1.0.1). I looked in Program Files to open the Toshiba Remote Control Manager however when I click on the program to open it... Nothing happens (including in the notification area).
So my question is can I actually get a remote working with this laptop at all and if not then what is this Infrared port for because I can't find anything on my computer to actually use it with/for?!
Thanks for your help :p

Hi
Some Satellite P850 models are equipped with the remote controller and its possible to use the remote controller with Windows Media Center to play discs or videos, to view pictures and to watch recorded TV programs.
Models which dont include the a remote controller are *NOT* equipped with the an infrared receiver so the notebook cannot be operated with a remote controller.
The remote controller was not part of the package so your notebook does not support infrared receiver and therefore the installation of ENE CIR Driver and Toshiba Remote Control Manager was useless

A question about opening ports

I have a question about opening ports with the airport. I need to open up ports UDP 88 & 3074 and port TCP 3074. I am wondering if I should open these ports for the specific IP address on my network that will be using them or if I should open the ports on the gateway IP (10.0.1.1) not sure which is the right route to take. Any help would be appreciated.
These are for running an xbox over xbox live.

Typically, you will want to open these ports for the device on your local network that needs to be accessed from the Internet. In this case, it would be your Xbox 360.
Unfortunately, the AirPorts are not listed as Xbox Live-compatible routers ... so there is no guarantee doing this will get Open NAT status for Xbox Live.
The following web blog does a great job explaining the NAT issues with Xbox Live. Basically what it comes down to is that although you can get an Internet connection for the Xbox 360 with the AirPorts, you may not get the necessary NAT setting (Moderate or Open) for the Xbox Live game that you want to play. As such, Port mapping may be required to allow Xbox Live access.
The following ports must be available for Xbox Live to operate correctly:
• UDP 88
• UDP 3074
• TCP 3074
To setup port mapping on an 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn), either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or temporarily connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to one of the LAN port of the AEBSn, and then use the AirPort Utility, in Manual Setup, to make these settings:
1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the Xbox 360.
Internet > DHCP tab
o On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
o Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
o Reserve address by: MAC Address
o Click Continue.
o MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the Xbox>
o IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
o Click Done.
2. Setup Port Mapping on the AEBSn.
Advanced > Port Mapping tab
o Click the "+" (Add) button
o Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
o Public UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
o Public TCP Port(s): 3074
o Private IP Address: <enter the DHCP Reserved IP address for the Xbox you created earlier>
o Private UDP Port(s): 88, 3074
o Private TCP Port(s): 3074
o Click "Continue"

Satellite P850 - right hand USB ports stopped working

I have a new Satellite P850, after a short period the two right hand usb ports stopped working, I only had a wireless mouse plugged into them at the time. Is there a reset for these ports, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no change.
Any one have any thoughts.

First of all, I don't think you should have done that.
The solution, either a full system recover (probably not necessary) or reinstall the drivers manually. Since they are USB 3.0 (I guess for what I googled about the P850) they use different drivers (specially if we are talking about the sleep and charge ones) so go ahead and download them from toshiba website, that should solve it...

Satellite 5100 - Question about dead pixels. Is it really dead pixel problem?

Hi,
I've got Satellite 5100-603. There have been some dead pixels on display. I don't know is it really dead pixel problem or not because the black area seems to be behind the screen. When i move left and right sides, the black area moves left and right sides too (as if the black area is behind the screen pixels)! And i can tell that all pixels are working OK when i look from the right and left sides of the display (because the pixels that seems to be dead, changes at different looking angles).
Are there really dead pixels or is it some other problem?
Is there anything that i can do about it?
For info, i am using my laptop for 2,5 years and there is no warranty of course...
Thanks for any help..

Hi
to answer your question I will try to make a simple description the layout of the TFT display.
I'll go from the front to the back.
In the front is a tough plexi-glass like layer to protect the screen from harm and the user from glass in case the TFT should break. It is also prepared in a way that will soften the reflections from behind (that does not go for the newer SuperBright screens).
Behind that is the 2 layers (at least 1 of glass, probably both) that hold the actual matrix of the pixels.
Behind theese 2 are a very complex set of layers that take care of the backlight. It consists of various numbers of films that should spread the light from the singel FL-tube evenly across the complete screen. Not a easy task if you ask me!
Sometimes, physical stress or dirt can make 'blotches' appear on the screen and they are in fact either dirt on the backmost layer or marks on the same. If there is dirt or marks on it, that will 'shadow' the light that comes out from it and show dark spots on the screen. They are quite different from defective pixels.
The defective pixels do not change with the angle of view for example.
I think you cannot do anything about this except changing screen. The construction is very complex and sensetive.

Question about opening ports

Hi All,
I've recently had some problems trying to video chat with a new person. They're on a pc using AIM 5.9. I've been able to chat with a different pc user before as well as some ichat users. I can also successfully connect to the Apple test severs. I've never done any port forwarding/triggering on my router (Netgear wgt624v3). I know that just about every thread here having to do with connection problems talks about opening up a bunch of ports. So my question is should I have to do that if I'm able to connect to the Apple servers, a different pc user and other ichat users without having done anything to my router?
Thanks,
Chris

Hi Chris,
If you can call out to many people and have one that you can not contact there are twoi possibilities.
1) They have not set up their end.
2) You and they are set up but are having problems with the way the other device does NAT.

Question about IO Ports on A2109 IdeaPad

Hello Everyone:
In a couple of months I'm going to be getting a IdeaPad A2109 Tablet.
I couldn't find manuals for it on Lenovo's site so I came here and found the links that I needed Thanks to those forum poster{s}.
I ran accross in those links the maintance manual and was excited because I couldn't find anything about any of the connections on the tablet.
And any pictures that Lenovo had on their site while good in general didn't in anyway help really in identifying any of the ports.
I tried to the best of my ability to figure them out, But in any event I digrise...
I seen in the manual that it said the Micro usb port was used for Sync to your computer and charging.
OK I figured I can hook my Mini usb Keyboard to that with NP because I already had found out that you could also cahrge the tablet off your computer using one of it's usb ports.
And it also said it has a DC JACK?
Which I took as ity having a seperate connection for normal powering from the cahrging of the Micro usb port.
But yet the diagram gives No Indication of a seperate DC Jack?
My question is this does the IdeaPad A2109 have a Seperate place to plug in your "NORMAL POWER CORD"???
Or is the Micro usb port used for the "NORMAL POWERING" of the Tablet as well???
I really hope that the DC Jack is seperate from the Micro usb port so that I can still hook the odd thing to it while still being hooked to AC....
If not could anyone tell me how I could use it for both at the sametime?
Also let me take the chance to Thank the poster that answered a thread about where the Micro SD Card went, or I would've been pulling my hair out trying to find it...
I take it that the Max Size SD Card is 32gb?
Sorry for all the questions just trying to know all that I can before I buy my new Tablet.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Some angled adapters will block the HDMI port. This is not a problem for most things but if you plan on keeping your device plugged into power, keyboard etc.... You will not be able to access the mini HDMI.

Satellite A200 - Question about HDD partitions and RAM

This may be in the wrong section... I don't know.
I've never owned an OEM OS and I also don't understand why the HDD comes partitioned 90, 2, 90 (who thought of that?).
The thing is that I have to format and partition differently (since I have to dual boot Linux) and need to create a structure more like 40,40,100 or such. (100 being fat32 so data can be accessed for both)
Now I'm just wondering which data I should be keeping from these drives. There's a folder called Toshiba on the C:\ drive which seems to have drivers and such, a few wallpapers and who knows what else. Then there's the D: drive called WinRE which has some sort of sdi and wim files.
Another question, if I buy the 2GB which is listed in the compatible options for my laptop (A200-28P)
Link: [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=138301&t oshibaShop=true&selCategory=4700]
Will it match the 2GB already in the laptop? Will it void the warranty in any way?

Yes, I am using Vista, sorry, I forgot to mention that. The drive however is definately not hidden (it's clearly visible as the D drive and labelled WinRE).
I'm not an idiot. I understand it, but you have got to admit that giving the OS 90 is a bit extreme and obviously I know what I can do with the other 90.
I'd also like to point something out:
"It's always advisable to partition an large HDD in more partition. This improves the performance because OS can access the files much faster."
This is more than just an urban myth, it is down right stupid to believe that. After all, the data has a physical position on the drive and partitioning doesn't change the fact that it still has to get the needle to point to the location where the data is located on the drive.
The needle still travels the same distance as referred to by the MFT.
The question is if I can alter the partitions when using the strange Toshiba recovery disk. Afterall OEMs don't come with standard install disks and seem to limit your options.
Again regarding the ram, I know the laptop can run 4 gigs, but I want to know whether the 2GB stick I'd buy from Toshiba would be the exact same as the one already installed, as in same timings and such.
So in conclusion the data on D is worthless. What about the stuff in the Toshiba folder? And sorry if I sound condescending or like an *insert disallowed word here*, I'm just not in the best mood right now (serious data loss on my project because of a Uni server crash!).

Tecra 750: Question about Infrared and TV remote control

Hi there,
I am wondering if anyone can help. I have an old Tecra 750 which I am using as an audio system to play my MP3 collection. It has an Infrared detector on it and I was wondering if it is possible to use this to receive IR from a TV remote control so I can use a remote to navigate my audio files. Does anyone know how to do this or where I could find out how? Is there any freeware to help perhaps? Is it even possible?
Thanks!

Hi,
The computer uses IRDA infra red and this is not compatible with the type of infra red used by normal remotes.
You could get an external infra red remote control which will plug into the USB port.

Satellite U200 - questions about screen refresh rate

Sattellite U200-148 WINXPHOMESP2
Video adapter Mobile Intel (R) 945GM Express Chipset Family
Volume of video of memory 128
Problem Accelerated Graphics Port - it is inaccessible
Frequency of hertz the screen 60
Questions
1) Accelerated Graphics Port - there is enabled if yes that that it is necessary to make that it became accessible.
2) whether Frequency of hertz with 60 can be raised even up to 75.

Hi
I have noticed that on some Toshiba notebooks the screen refresh rate is fixed on 60 Hz.
The display refresh rate is not important on the notebook screens.
TFT matrix doesn't have such thing as refresh rate. It doesn't blink.
TFT like all other LCD screens doesn't have refresh rate parameter, only reaction time.
Your eyes are safe ;)
Ps: As far as I know the AGP port is not available.

Satellite 2410: Question about different ways to use BlueTooth

Hi,
I'm having trouble finding somewhere to purchase a bluetooth module for my Toshiba Satellite 2410 - the handbook says I can, and I know there is space on the underside of the laptop to insert it.
I just can't seem to find one to buy - does anybody know if they actually exist, as I am beginning to think not??!...or is the cheapest way to bluetooth enable the laptop to buy a USB adaptor?
If so, will a cheap one affect the download rate when using the Internet?? And what is the difference between an SD card and a USB bluetooth adaptor?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Well, with the detailed name I mean the full notebook number Satellite 2410-xxx.
However, you ask what a difference between Wireless Lan and Bluetooth.
The WLan is technology which allows you using or/and to create a LAN but without the cables.
;) The Wlan routers for example allow you to connect to the internet without the cable connection.
Bluetooth technology:
If device like (mobile phones, printer, etc) support BT technology and you notebook uses also a BT so it's possible to connect these devices without cables. The devices should be placed in the available range.
I would recommend searching a little bit in the internet for more information about Wlan and Bluetooth

Satellite L20: Question about TV connection

Hi,
I have Satellite L20 with Intel GMA 915 graphic card.
I possess cable obviously to connection of laptop from tv.
I wanted to ask with which one programme I will get image from laptop on tv.
Thanks a lot
wizard

Hello
If you want to see desktop on TV use please recommended cable (S-Video), connect it to TV, activate S-Video port on TV and using FN+F5 jey combination you should be able to switch to TV.
For Mohiuddin
Enable S-Video port on your TV. If you TV dont support that you should use S-Video to Composite-Video adapter (Cinch-Cable).

Hola!!!Yesterday, I asked a question about serial port comunication, because I wanted to find a function in Labview similar to "ProcessSystem Events" in Labwindows!!

My problem is that I have written a comand through the serial port, and I doesn´t receive the answer. If I execute the programm step by step, I don´t have any problem but if the program runs i don´t get the answer!!!It is not a problem of the bytes that I write and receive, i have used the function "Visa Bytes at Serial Port"!!I have used th function "wait" but it doesn´t work!!!!i have used a Flat sequence but it hasn´t solved the problem!!so, i don´t know what i can do!!!
I attach the "different versions" that i did, maybe someone find a solution!!
Dennis, I have the problem, when
I read the last time in the program, I don´t receive the answer!thank you!!!
Gracinda

Dear Mads;
Thank you for your answer.
I don´t have a termination character but I know the number of bytes that I have to receive. I tried checking the number of bytes that I received, using "Bytes at Port", but it gets a value and it isn´t refreshed, it has a value so my program stop in the while structure that I have added. I attach the vi. I don´t know how to do that. I am starting with Labview, and it is a little difficult for me!!
In the first change that I did, I added the function "Bytes at Port" inside the While loops, but it doesn´t work either !!!
Thank you!

Quick Question about charging port

---I had the issue today of my phone randomly making the "charge initiation" noise well after I had plugged it in. Almost as if it had stopped charging for a split second and then reinitiated. Very curious if this would be related to the charging port or the cable itself. Having a hard time recreating the issue, hoping it was just a freak occurrence.

U don't have 2 install software 2 charge it. as long as it's plugged in 2 the USB, it'll charge cuz usb gives power all the time.

Question about Ethernet Port

Fumbling in the dark, I knocked by 12" G4 off the table. It must have landed where the ethernet cable connects to the port. I'm now unable to access the network using ethernet. Everything else works okay -- I can use wifi, and all the applications work normally. The reason I use ethernet is because once in a while my wifi connection drops (due to a baby monitor nearby?).
Do you think this would be a simple fix, or should I bring it in to a shop? My husband is pretty handy with computers and has torn his old G3 apart several times.

Nancy: This is probably going to require replacing the logic board, to which the Ethernet port is (was) soldered. It's a difficult job, and the part will cost $200-300 used.

Noob question about swicthing port on a router

I am trying to understanding vlan on switch and router with packet tracer 6.
I thought switching port on a router will act as it does on a switch (mine are 2960).
I use a router with 1 WAN port and 4 switching port to emulate my cisco 881 (without wireless). Everything was working good with my 5 switches and 4-5 VLAN..then doing a ping test between VLAN.. I discovered that PC belonging to differents vlan can ping each other on a router - switching port...then i remake a basic scenario and post it here. i probably missed a basis of vlan.
FA 0/0 (the WAN port) is not connected.
FA 0/0/0 are port switching on the rooter.
According to my image...why pc0 is able to ping pc1 as there is not a specific route between them on the rooter...May be it is the C on the left side meanig connected..thought we need a static route to make one network communicate with another if they are not on the same network.

The actual ports you connect the PCs to are L2 ports only ie they are not L3 so they cannot route. But you have also configured L3 SVIs (Switched Virtual Interfaces) on your router and it those that are doing the routing.
An SVI is a virtual L3 interface. So from your configuration where you do a "sh ip int" you can see at the bottom
vlan 10 192.168.0.1/24
vlan 99 192.168.99.1/24
those are your SVIs. If you also look at your routing table it shows entries for both your subnets as directly connected routes with those SVIs as well.
If you do a "sh run" you should see in your configuration something like this -
int vlan 10
ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0
int vlan 99
ip address 192.168.99.1 255.255.255.0
SVIs are generally seen on L3 switches and as as i say there are not configured on the actual port. The idea is a switch could have say 24 ports in vlan 10 and 24 ports in vlan 11 and then you simply configure SVIs for both vlans and now clients in each vlan can communicate with each other.
So to be precise SVIs are virtual L3 interfaces for a L2 vlan. They act much like physical L3 ports eg fa0/0 from your example ie. you can apply acls etc. to them but they do have differences.
Hope that makes sense.
Edit - to confirm all of the above you can simply remove or shut down one of the SVIs and the PCs should no longer be able to communicate.
