Satellite Pro L10: How to make WLAN status to be always ON?

We have Satellite Pro L10 laptops at school. The button on the front of the machines that allows you to disable the wirless network is a real pain because it is an extra thing to go wrongwhilst trying to get a laptop to access our school wireless network.
Is there anyway of disabling this button so that the laptops will always access avaialble wireless networks?

try removing the Wifi mini pci card and isolate pin 11 and 13 on the card with a small piece of tape or nail varnish. This worked for me in my satellite to force the card to be allways on. You can still disable it with the software though. You count the pins odd numbers on the top of the card (aerial connection side) and evens below. Dont forget the pin on its own on the left of the card (this being the number 1 pin) Hope this is some use to you and works.. :)

How to connect Satellite Pro L10 to TV?

Cheers
Ray.

Hi buddy,
there are such special "VGA-to-TV" Converter like this one http://www.smarthome.com/7743.html . The benefit of this box is, that you can make some accurate settings for your picture.
Otherwise you can try that thing which pedro suggested.
Should work well. ;)

BIOS Update Satellite Pro L10

I downloaded a BIOS update for my Satellite PRO L10 notebook, when I try to install I receive the following message
The input file EW3I1A04.WPH cannot be found, a valid filename must be specified to continue.
Any advice appreciated
Regards,

Hello guys
Mochitas I don't have SP L10 but I would like to know how you make BIOS update. SP L10 is old notebook models and if there is something wrong Toshiba have had enough time to replace offered BIOS update. I cannot imagine there is something wrong.
Pavlaras if you open zip file you will see exe file and it is logic to use this file to start BIOS update. I really don't understand how you come to EW3I3A26.WPH file. If you are not familiar with BIOS update why you make such risk before picking up some info how to do this.
I must say that I believe you have damaged BIOS chip and because of that you cannot start your notebook. Sorry but only authorized service provider can help you.

Intermittent WiFi on Satellite Pro L10 /D-Link WAP

Equipment: new Satellite Pro L10 with Centrino & integrated Intel Pro 2200BG wifi and D-Link DWL2100Ap wireless access point. The new laptop works on a neighbour's wireless network (all day), and my Sony laptop works on our D-Link based network. However the new Toshiba works for a while first thing in the day (maybe 2 hours) then stops working with increasing frequency. By afternoon it won't work for more than a second or so.
Mostly, however, the icon says it's connected and config free says it's connected; show wireless networks varies - different bits of the system disagree about connection status, but no data flows.
The D-link WAP always says it has the Toshiba as a client. Selecting "repair" normally makes it work for a second or two.
It always seems to have an allocated IP number, according to IPCONFIG - however, if I try connecting late in the day and it doesn't already have an IP it can't stay connected for long enough to get one.
Very frustrating. Any help appreciated.

Hello
Well its very strange.
You said that the notebook works on the neighbors wireless Lan very well.
In this case I dont think that its a problem of Wireless Lan card.
Try to check the settings on your rooter.
Maybe you can compare your settings with the neighbors.

Satellite Pro L10 - Unmountable Boot Volume

My Satellite Pro L10 loops at the boot process. After the Windows XP splash screen, the following error messages comes up: .... Unmountable boot volume... Technical Information: Stop: 0x000000ED...
I know this is nothing exceptional and doing a full recovery would solve the problem. But I don't want to loose the data (which of course is not backed up). I tried a Windows XP disc, but it won't boot from the cd/dvd drive pressing F12 or <0> and changing the boot order....
Can anyone help please?

Hi
Hmm the error message unmountable boot volume appears mostly if the HDD cannot be recognized during the booting. Why? Well, possibly the HDD malfunctions or the master boot record is faulty!
If you dont want to recover the notebook you could try to boot from the XP CD (press C button immediately after notebook powering) and to start the repair console.
In the repair console you could use the command chkdsk /p and after this you could fix the master boot record using the command fixboot or/and fixmbr.
If it does not help, the new OS installation is you last resort.
Ps: if you want to backup the data you can try to remove the HDD and try to connect it via external USB HDD controller to another computer.

Adobe pro 8: how to make an existing secure encrptyed form unfillable after editing

Hello,
as the discussion topic says.
adobe pro 8: how to make an existing secure encrptyed form unfillable after editing? Is it even possible to do in adobe pro 8?
For work there's a secure and encrptyed form. I want to write in the form and save it so it will be unfillable / uneditable.
this form is not created by myself, and already secure and encrypted.
I am aware that in other recent adobe pro versions on how to do this, since they have a " save as a copy" function in the file menu. (adobe 8 doesnt have)
I've also tried printing as a PDF, but due to encryption of the form, that doesn't come out great.
Upgrading to a recent version of adobe pro is not an option.
I've also tried exporting as a picture files and then recombinding them to a pdf. I dont like this method and find it time consuming.
If possible please inform me of a way to solve this problem , step by step with adobe pro 8's features.
or
show me the equivalent method to how recent versions "save a copy" of a secure encrypted form on adobe pro 8.
Thanks in advance for reading this thread and helping.

Well after you use save a copy, and the security is disabled, you could then re enable security features and disable editing of the form.
EDIT: I just tested , with a PDF is in secure mode, even using a "save a copy" feature wouldn't work.
Would finding a program to desecure the pdf be a possible option?
Or is there a way to copy the form (with all it's editable fields) and paste it as an unsecure pdf?
You would then be able to make new security features.
thanks for replying and viewing this problem.

How to make the status of a sales order complete of which PART DELIVERY

How to make the status of a sales order complete of which PARTIAL DELIVERY has already done. <b>(Assigning rejection status not accepted)</b>

Hi Gyana
There is no document with me. But I can confidently say that because I am using this functionality.
In my case I have created a Order Reason as "Short Closed". once you short close this order only the balance quantity gets rejected (provided you have already made previous delivery and PGI).
Try it in one of your test clients if you have. Once it is short Closed it wont also show in the orders due for processing in Production.
Also you can generate reports based on this if your customer wants to know how many order he has short closed, qty of item short closed etc.
Try it.

Satellite Pro L10: sound card does not support Windows 7

Hi
i have a Satellite Pro L10 so i installed a Windows 7 on my system but my laptop can not support Windows 7.
I need update of sound card for Windows 7.
The model of sound car is Conexant CX20468-31 AC97 Audio Sound Card.
Please help me

Hi buddy
What to say first of all you will not get official drivers for this notebook for Win 7 or Vista.
This notebook is oldie and I doubt the drivers will be released.
Reading through this forum threads Ive noticed that most of the user use the Vista driver on Win 7 OS.
Maybe you should google for the Conexant AC97 Vista driver and should try a Vista driver on Win 7
Good luck

Very weak WLAN signal on Satellite Pro L10

Hi,
I have a Sat Pro L10 that came without a mini pci wireless card so I bought and installed one and fitted internal antenna behind the screen. When I am in the same room as the router I have a brilliant connection but as soon as I leave the room I lose it all together. The router is fine as other people have no problem connecting to it. The card I bought is made by Agere but came labelled as Toshiba, I have updated the driver to the newest I could find which is june 2002.
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated as I'm sick of dragging this wire around with me.

Hi
I think there is no much to do. I think the environment has a strong influence on the Wlan signal receiving. Its the same issue like yours.
My brother uses the Wlan at home and the signal is strong enough if he is in the same room but in other rooms the signal is very weak. But at my home he can receives the WLan signals without any problems. The signal is strong also if he is in different rooms
I think the room walls are the reason for the weak signal.
But you could check the Wlan card properties in the device manager. There you could change some settings in the Advanced tab. For example disable the power saving, etc

Satellite Pro A200: Windows cannot find WLan

Something's wrong with my laptop, I have Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with XP Pro SP3...
When I try to search for wireless networks using Microsofts program, it can't find anything, but TOSHIBA's ConfigFree can.
You probably say, that well use Toshiba's software then - that's not possible, cause ConfigFree supports only WEP keys, but most of Wireless keys used here are WEP-TSK or something - not supported by ConfigFree.
How can I make my Microsoft Windows to detect Wireless routers?

I knew it, but I just had to make sure.
I shall never install SP3 again.
To all people, DO NOT INSTALL SP3!!
Unless you don't have it allready preinstalled, in that case, it won't do any harm.
Case closed.

Satellite Pro M40 - How to wipe the system to new

I am having a lot of trouble with my Satellite Pro M40.
When wanting to click in to the various files an error message comes up and asks me to send an error report. I think i may need to wipe the system to new. Does anyone know how to do this? I dont have the disks that I orgianlly got with the laptop to do this.
Thanks :D

As you know to open various files you need to use various software. So it will be interesting to know which kind of files you try to open. If you know exactly which software can not be started I recommend you to reinstall it in hope it will work again.
Please think about it at first. If you still want to make clean operating system installation please write again. We will find a way to help you. ;)

Satellite Pro A10: New Atheros/Askey WLan card but 'This device cannot start' code 10

Hi there,
I have a Satellite Pro A10 and have purchased an internal mini pci wireless adapter. The following information is displayed on my card:
Askey WLL3070-D4(MOW)
Atheros AR5BRB-43
I installed the card, hooked up the ariel's and turned the laptop on...the switch at the front now lights up and windows xp finds the new ethernet adaptor. My problem is this...
No matter what driver i install (and ive tried every Askey/Atheros etc driver from the first 20+ pages of yahoo/google) the card installs fine but then in device manager has a yellow ! next to it and says This device cannot start (code 10)
I'm really stumped. I have some more ram coming in a few days at which point i shall be installng Vista which im hoping sorts my problems out but does anyone have any ideas?
I've yet to find a driver which specifically refers to the AR5BRB or the model number WLL3070-D4.
Does anyone have a location for a driver etc?
thank you

Hi
I use always this page for WLan driver update:
http://aps.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
This is a Toshiba WLan driver portal and there you can find all necessary WLan drivers

Satellite Pro L20 - Can't get WLAN to work

Hi,
I'm having problems with my Satellite Pro L20 after a reinstall. The wlan wont work.
I installed the correct driver but have had no luck.
Any body have the same issue?
Any help would be great

Did you reinstall your notebook with the recovery disk or Microsoft disk?
Which driver did you install?
You should use the driver from the Toshiba website. Check it again:

Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.
