Satellite Pro L500 - Can't install Realtek LAN driver

Hi All,
I have recovered a Satellite Pro L500 Windows 7 pro with disc created from notebook, but now can't install a Realtek LAN driver for the notebook.
The software driver installer dosn't seem to run correctly all the time, have tried several times to install, with only once a realtek "repair" option becoming available.
When I did manage to install driver I got a error "device failed to start". after recovery I also had problems with a "PCL simple communications controller driver",
which seems to have been a Intel MEI according to the VEN, DEV info displayed in systems info.
Are these problems related and how do I Install the required driver in a automated system if the system won't detect the hardware correctly?

Have downloaded from many sources the correct driver, but the motherboard or the OS is not discovering the network adaptor so even if the driver is installed the divice is not recognised as being there(physically installed). when installing the driver software i get the error from the realtek installer "Realtek network controller was not found. If in deep sleep mode is enabled please plug the cable". have no idea what or how deep slee is enabled and have reset bios settings to default and have reset cmos.

  • Satellite Pro A100 - Can't install sound driver

    Hello,
    Hope someone can help, I'm having trouble getting a sound driver to work, I've tried quite a few different drivers now and none seem to work.
    I've tried all the drivers off the Toshiba driver download site with no luck. I'm still left with a yellow question mark in device manager. (Satellite Pro A 100) During the installation the window appears that i must instull MICROSOFT BUS DRIVER BEFORE this audio drive r(Realtek HDA for XP).
    Where can I get this driver(Appreicate if someone could point me in the right direction), or somebody can give me another usefull advice?
    Appreciate any help
    Thanks.

    I think this is a known issue.
    Sometimes its useful to search in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. There I had found these interesting documents:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221

    Its very important to install these hotfixes before you install the driver.

  • Satellite Pro L510 - Can't install and start Intel Link 5100

    Hi,
    I have a Satellite Pro L510 (P/N:PSLFML-002004). Recently, I have updated my WLAN to Intel Link 5100 (my original WLAN is Realtek RTL8191SE). I've tried Windows 7 32bit and 64bit with intel driver, version 13.4 and 13.5, non of them has worked so far. I always get this error "This device cannot start" from Device Manager
    Can anyone help me with this problem, please?

    Hello
    > My old WLAN works normally before the upgrades
    So I think this WLAN card is not compatible. Not all WLAN cards are compatible with all notebooks. I think this also depending on the mainboard and BIOS
    Installing another WLAN card will not improve the range or speed. For example if you use draft N you have 300 Mbps with every WLAN card and the WLAN range is depending on the WLAN antennas and not WLAN card itself.
    In your case I would install the old one and be happy with it ;)

  • Satellite Pro A200 - Can't install Windows 7 due missing CD/DVD driver

    Hello, I have a Satellite Pro A200, PSAE4E-046018N5 and I'm trying to install Windows 7 but I can't pass from step one because it doesn't found a driver:
    A message box saying: A required CD/DVD drive devise driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD or USB flash drive, please insert it now.
    -What to do?
    CD-ROM is a HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T20N ATA, the actual driver have version 6.0.6002.18005 (date:2006-06-21)
    Best regards

    Hi Peter,
    Do you try an upgrade from Vista to Windows 7 at the moment? If yes please try a new and clean installation of Windows 7. Does this work?
    Another question: Is your CD/DVD drive working properly or is it listed with yellow exclamation mark in device manager?
    In your case I would try to remove the drive from device manager and restart the notebook. After this the drive will be recognized automatically.

  • Satellite Pro S300L - Can I install Windows 7?

    Can I install windows 7 on my Satalite pro s300L if so which version 32 or 64 Bit?

    Hello
    First of all you can install what you want.
    Why?
    Its your notebook and you can do what you want with it! ;)
    In my opinion its depending on the RAM which version you should install If you use 4GB or more RAM, choose the 64bit version. Otherwise 32bit is enough and therefore you can get all drivers here:

  • Re: Satellite Pro C50 - Can't install Windows 8

    Hi.
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro c50 with Windows 7 preinstalled.
    It comes with 2 DVD's containing Windows 8.
    I have tried to upgrade to Windows 8 (following the instructions included in the manual: BIOS changes, etc) but I cant install it.
    After booting from the DVD, it doesnt appear the Windows 8 install utility, but the Windows 7 recovery options .
    Could you please help me?
    Thanks in advance,
    Sergio

    Exactly the same problem.
    Toshiba Portege R-930.
    Comes with Win 7 preinstalled and 2 CDs with image of Win 8 (Win 8 sticker on bottom of the laptop).
    Followed the directions in the leaflet to upgrade to Win 8 (change in BIOS, etc.) like the user above.
    It gets only to a blue screen with two options:
    1) Toshiba recovery - a frightening black screen with warning that every data will be lost) and
    2) System recovery, getting nowhere but to "switch off computer".
    At one point got the message that the disc is locked.
    Gave up, returned safely to Win 7.
    If someone could explain how to do this properly,
    Thanks

  • Satellite Pro M70 - Can't install Toshiba Power Saver Driver

    Hi, I can't install toshiba power saver driver on my laptop because instalation crashes with error 1610: The configuration data for this product is corrupt. Contact your support personnel. I tried more versions of power saver driver. I got latest official chipset driver..Know somebody how to fix that?
    My second problem is with battery, my laptop running on battery for max 10 minutes (i got my laptop 2 years) and i dint using battery supply often. Can battery loose so much capacity in 2 years even if i used to my battery once a week?
    Sorry for english and thx for reply

    I believe you must not install this driver, only Power saver utility only.
    What to say about battery? In my opinion it is possible. In my opinion the battery life time cannot be defined so easy.
    Some batteries run well after 3 years of usage and some of them are death after one year only.

  • Satellite A660-07U - Can't install new display driver

    When I first got my laptop it wouldn't even boot out the box! So I googled the way to get it up and running and it wouldn't install Windows 7 32bit, so I installed Windows 7 64bit and that worked.
    I am one of the users who is also having their laptop freeze on them constantly. I have done the Bios update and it is still doing it. So I decided to try updating the graphics drivers with the new ones from this website, but it seems they wont install. I got the Windows 7 64bit drivers first as I have Windows 7 64bit installed in my laptop. But it says it cant find the required hardware, I figured its because my laptop is not a 3D version, should that even matter?
    So I then tried the 32bit drivers and it says im using wrong system os for those drivers.
    So how about some drivers I can use?

    Hello
    > it didn't work out the box
    Why it didnt work? What problems you had exactly?
    > The X64 drivers for download will NOT work on my A660, says something about not the right hardware (which is where I got the 3D idea from)
    Well, in my opinion it has nothing to do with 3D support. If you can find new driver updates for Satellite A660 they should work because they are tested by Toshiba.
    As far as I know there is no A660 model with 3D support, thats only available on A665.
    Fact is that 32bit drivers never work on 64bit operating systems. So just forget this point.
    Satellite A660/07U seems to be an Australian model and belongs to PSAW3A series. On the Australian page there is only one display driver available for Windows 7 64bit
    What you can try is the display driver from European page where you can find a similar model PSAW3E:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    On this page I could found two driver version: 260.51 and 189.58. As far as I know latter one works properly without freeze.
    > You could have just said you don't know the answer or are you always this condescending?
    You want some help or not? ;)
    I mean I also didnt know that you are still use the Windows 7 installation from Toshiba, you only wrote about new Windows 7 installation.
    Anyway, it was simple misunderstanding.

  • Satellite L650-1M0 - CAN'T install new display driver

    Hello!
    I have Toshiba Satellite L650-1M0 and i CAN'T install new drivers to my graphic card: Mobility Radeon HD 5650 from the AMD site. Why i cannot do it? I want to install the latest display drivers because i have problems with display mode. My laptop is set on 16:9 but some programs display in 4:3.
    Please give the latest drivers on the Toshiba site or tell me what should i do to download drivers from AMD site. I have Windows 7 64x ;).

    >Why i cannot do it?
    Im really wondering you are asking something like this. It is well known that support for mobile units (notebooks) is offered by notebook manufacturer and not by hardware manufacturer.
    Due to specific notebook design and limited cooling performance graphic card cannot be upgraded as on graphic cards designed for desktops. New driver means more performance. More performance means more heat and result can be graphic card damage or switch-offs because of critical hardware temperature.

  • Satellite Pro L500-12E - Issue with CD/DVD drive and display

    Hello...
    I have some questions about my laptop..
    1. Is it normal that on some DVD/CD's the DVD rom it very loud and vibrates a lot, spesialy on older CD's..
    2.The cover/lid of my laptop when i close it its kinda not in line with the rest of the pc it is not totaly alligned but its kinda hard to see expect when you look for it..but its properly on and its not lose or anything just not alinged to the "body" of the laptop
    3.The lid again, Underneath the screen where the lid is mounted to the "body" off the laptop if.. it is not glued to the screen like the rest of the edges its just putted next to it you can drag in it so you can see the wires going into the screen etc
    is that normal?
    -thanks

    1 I can imagine that CDs/DVDs are louder. Maybe are they a little bit out of shape and by spinning you can notice some vibrations. Be sure the discs are placed properly into optical disc drive.
    2 It is not easy to discuss about it without some picture but I don't think it is some serious issue.
    3 What you see is probably cable for WLAN antenna. WLAN antenna is placed behind the LCD.
    I cannot confirm this is normal or not normal because I don't have L500 but if you want to have professional opinion visit nearest Toshiba service and show what do you mean exactly.
    For me all this don't sound as some serious issues or hardware problems.

  • Satellite Pro A100 PSAACE: cannot install ATI display driver

    Hi all,
    I have experienced a series of problems with my Mobility Radeon X1400 graphics card that I'm sure could be resolved by downloading the latest drivers. This I have to do from the Toshiba website as the ATI website offers no support for it. But I have experienced multiple problems downloading the file archive.
    It always says that there is an error: "Header error... (missing or corrupt)" and it asks me to redownload the file, I've done this three times now with the same results, I'm starting to get a little frustrated- can somebody +please help+. I have noticed that the downloaded (and useless) file is smaller (by over 50%) than the intended size-- I don't know if that helps at all...
    Pre-emptive thanks if you can help me with this problem.

    Hi
    What to say I have noticed that the drivers download server is very slow. Looks like an overload possibly all the packages would not transmitted correctly and therefore this error message appears.
    I know that this could be very frustrating and I really understand you because I have tried to download other driver and the performance is really slowly but I dont see any other solution as trying to download the graphic driver package again
    Good luck buddy

  • Satellite Pro L500 wont burn DVD

    I have TWO Satellite Pro L500 laptops with a TSSTCorp TS-L633C DVD-RW Drive. BOTH exhibit the same problem - burning a DVD fails during the finalising process, regardless of what speed you burn at.
    Burning CD's works fine.
    The blank DVD's burn fine on a Satellite L500D laptop using the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GT20N drive, and also on another Satellite Pro L500 that is using a Pioneer drive.
    Both laptops having issues are running Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, but nothing else other than the software that comes with the laptop. Both are new straight out of the box. Driver is current version driver, from what I can find out.
    Any suggestions? When one laptop showed the problems I thought it may be the drive, but now 2 laptops from totally different stores showing the exact same problem?
    Thanks.

    The problem is that disabling file verify doesn't resolve the issue as the disc is unreadable after burning.
    *I have now solved the issue*
    *It seems the TS-L633 drives do not work well with lower speed discs.*
    Where EVERY other computer, including a Satellite Pro and Satellite using different drives, will detect the lower speed DVD's and burn appropriately, the TSSCorp drive does not and hence errors due to burning the disc at too high a speed.
    The drive worked fine when higher speed discs were used.
    Examining the problem discs I believe they were 2x discs, which as stated worked fine in all other computers where the computer detected the lower speed and changed the burn speed to 2x, however the TS-L633 drive would not allow less than 3x burn speed, and tried to burn at 8x. This obviously created a problem!
    So, anyone having DVD burning issues with a Satellite laptop using the TSSTcorp TS-L633C drive, try changing the blank media to something capable of higher burn speeds!
    Thank you to all that suggested solutions. I have also passed this info along to Toshiba Support as I feel this may be an issue they need to either resolve or note for future users, as there is no doubt slower speed DVD's will be used in these devices!

    Click on search and you will get the right driver.
    Download and install it. How this works did Jimi said.
