Satellite R830-10C: Need an advise

Hi guys,
Was just wondering if there was anyone out there with a Satellite R830-10C who could advise me on how hot it gets.
I'm looking to upgrade from a netbook to a (cheapish) ultraportable and this looks like really good value for money and well reviewed. However, I've seen some comments on the R830-11c and -143 that seem to indicate they get very hot on the bottom.
I realise the 10C is less powerful so should run cooler, but I need to be able to use this on my lap, leave it on sofa arms etc (not duvets or anything silly) without any issues or I'm better off going for something bulkier and cooler.
Your advice would be very much appreciated

The left side can get a bit warm but I don't think it's too bad. If you are just browsing the internet or something else light, then it stays relatively cool.
If you are worried about the heat, you may be better off getting a slightly larger model with a bigger chassis such as the Tecra R840.

Web-camera issue on Satellite A300-10C

Hello!!! I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-10C laptop.
Problem with the webcam!! OS WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE X64
Everything downloaded firewood with official a site!! and when I turn on the chamber to me gives out: *the webcam is disconnected or faulty. check settings of the webcam*
Tried to reinstall Os a problem there was the same!!
What to do??? thanks in advance

Sorry mate but Im not quite sure what you mean
Does the webcam appear in device manager?
Please also check the BIOS settings. Press F2 at the beginning of booting process to access the BIOS.
In some cased the BIOS advanced settings contain the webcam option which needs to be enabled.
Also setting the BIOS to default (pressing F9) could enable the webcam in BIOS.
Otherwise it could be possible that there is a webcam hardware issue if the webcam is not present in device manager.

Satellite R830-1G1 and Win8.1 - Bluetooth seems to have disappeared

With "upgrades" to Windows 8 then 8.1 (don't do it!), my Bluetooth seems to have disappeared and Windows is telling me to reinstall drivers.
When I go to the Toshiba support driver download page for my Satellite R830-1G1 (PT32LE-01V00CEN) I see "Bluetooth Filter Driver Package for Atheros" and "Bluetooth Stack Toshiba Windows 8 - Upgrade".
My laptop has Intel wireless card as I assume all of this model have, so why is Atheros listed?
I'm afraid I have no idea what I need to install to get my Bluetooth working again. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

> My laptop has Intel wireless card as I assume all of this model have, so why is Atheros listed?
Because different Satellite R830 models supports different Wlan cards from different manufacturers.
> I'm afraid I have no idea what I need to install to get my Bluetooth working again. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
Your notebook supports Intel WLan card (with BT functionality). For Intel WLan cards no Bluetooth filter package needs to be installed.
In your case its enough to install the Intel Wlan driver, Toshiba Bt stack and Toshiba System Driver

Blue screen on Satellite P755-10c

My laptop toshiba satellite p755-10c was restarted and covered many times this week with a blue screen of death! Does anyone know what is the problem?

Hi
BSOD can be cause by hardware problem or serious software issue.
I think you should firstly recover the notebook using the Toshiba HDD recovery or the Recover disk which you have created as described in user manual.
If the BSOD would still appears, try to update the display driver and BIOS (if newer version is available)
Of course the BSOD could appear also if the RAM starts to malfunctions or if the internal temperature increases to a higher level and affects the internal parts.

Can I install a 2nd HDD in my Satellite P200-10C?

Hi
I have a Satellite P200-10C which I want to upgrade with a 2nd HDD. I called a Toshiba representative who told me my model doesn't support an other HDD. But then again, why does it have a place in the back of the laptop for a 2nd one?
Could some one tell me if it can be used to accommodate a 2nd HDD.
Thanks in advance
Gerardo

@Jayjay
I finally decided to open the compartment for the 2nd HDD of my Satellite P200-10C. I discovered there the modem (I think) and enough space to accommodate a HDD but alas! No connector for the HDD. I think that settled the matter. I can not have a 2nd HDD. Unless of course someone in the future find a way to attach a connector.
Thanks for your answer, Jajay

Satellite R830 and video output through HDMI

Just wondered if it's normal for my laptop to output a max of 1280x768 through HDMI to my 26" LCD TV?
Its a Satellite R830 i3 with hd3000 graphics. I have 8GB RAM. Tried under Windows 7 and 8 but the same.
Also tried custom resolution but it just says on the TV out of range.
Mt graphics driver is up to date and I had full hd working on this TV via another older laptop.
Any suggestions please?

I dont know your LCD TV specifications but fact is that external resolution depends on three options:
graphic card driver, graphic card and the external device connected to notebook/computer.
So if your TV does not support an higher resolution, you will not be able to choose another resolution.
If your TV supports higher resolution but the graphic card driver and graphic chip would not support higher resolution, you will also not be able to use it.

Need some advise for import video in Flash

Hi guys, i got a problem with importing video in Flash.
Actually I know how to import video in swf
There are 3 ways;
1. loading external video with playback component
2. embed FLV in SWF
3. URL
Ye i know second way is easy and fast but it needs to control everytime when the contents are changed or fixed.
So best way for me and my work is first way
Problem is when i use first way then move full swf file to another pc, just video (in the swf) doesn't play at all.(i'm sure it's from wrong file path)
How to change the content path? I tried so many times but failed.. (just doesnt work and some error message appears on output)
Should I install flash program in another pc then replace all the file?
Please I need your advise
Thanks

I was able to tether my original Verizon Droid using EasyTether without needing to root the phone. The free version wont work with https sites, but its not expensive to buy the full version after you figure out if it will work. Its not fast but seems to work ok.

Satellite R830-143 - BIOS update does not support this operating system

Hi,
I received a notification via Tempro that a BIOS upgrade was available. I downloaded the ZIP file (bios-20120209125153.zip), extracted the package (BIOS360_EC140_WIN.exe) and ran it according to the instructions.
The package runs, gives the "Extracting files..." progress bar then displays a dialogue entitled "TOSHIBA BIOS Package Ver.4.1.2" that says: "This BIOS package does not support this operating system."
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit on a Satellite 830R-143 with the short part no. PT32LE
Does anyone know what the problem is?
Thanks in advance for your help...

Need some advise

Hi All,
I need some advise from you JAVA gurus. Here is the situation:
Our Java development team developed an application running on Weblogic 8.1 SP3. The application is contained in the ear file....which is perfect. They now wanted to go live in about 3 months from now. We were discussing plans how to it live but running into a major show stopper.
Our Linux/Unix weblogic support group do not support/ allow running any singleton java processes except whatever is running as weblogic instances.
Application development has a requirement to run these 5-7 singleton small little java program (currently i do not know exactly what these small little java processes does).
We have proposed that the application team should own these processes and they have to run it outside of the BEA weblogic servers (i.e these singleton processes are not allowed to run on our common Unix machines running WLS8.1 sp3).
We have only ONE option:
1) Run these small little singleton java processes somewhere else that will be owned by application team.
Questions:
1) What are the problems that may arise if these singleton processes do not co-exist with where the application server runs (hosting the application ear file)?
2) Is there any other ways of circumventing this problem (any other ways based on your expertise) ?
3) Also, iam trying to understand these singleton processes, so what questions should i ask before i have a head to head discussions with the application team ?
[any watch list??]
Thanks for all your help.
Take care.

duffymo/others,
I was initially confused with the term "singleton" ...what i meant to say was "stand along java processes". So, there is nothing singleton but this application has few stand alone java processes that the Linux/Unix team do NOT want to run where the weblogic managed instances are running.
So, say my weblogic servers are running on Host A and Host B each having 3-3 each BEA weblogic managed instances CLUSTERED...then these stand alone java processes IS NOT ALLOWED to run there.
I hope this time i am much clearer .... :)
Iam sorry .... i was totally confused with this term called "singleton" as i incorrectly misinterpreted as stand alone java processes ....sorry about that again.

Problem with brightness control on Toshiba Satellite R830 [SOLVED]

Ever since I've been using Linux on my Toshiba Satellite R830 laptop I had problems with the brightness setting after wakeup from sleep. The solution I had found was to use a custom xorg.conf setup. Actually I was creating a 20-intel.conf file in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/ with the following content:
Section "Device"
Identifier "card0"
Driver "intel"
Option "Backlight" "intel_backlight"
BusID "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection
This worked until today. Now I realised that Xorg is somewhat ignoring this configuration file. I looked in the wiki and this suggested that any such config files should be in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/. I copied the file there and rebooted. I opened a terminal and checked the value of /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/actual_brightness. Modified the brightness with the Fn + F6/F7 and checked again and it was controlling these.
But after closing the lid and leaving it for a while, and wakeing up the PC the Fn +F6/F7 keys started controlling /sys/class/backlight/toshiba/ which never worked after sleep. Somehow on wakeup the custom config files are being ignored. It seems this is related to the upgrade to Gnome 3.16. I'm using linux-lts kernel.
How do I make Xorg use intel_backlight instead of Toshiba for brightness control?

It seems that the culprit is /usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon/gsd-backlight-helper. In this page: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11910629 there's a procedure to patch the source file (for an older version). There's a section of the code like this:
/* available kernel interfaces in priority order */
static const gchar *backlight_interfaces[] = {
"nv_backlight",
"asus_laptop",
"toshiba",
"eeepc",
"thinkpad_screen",
"acpi_video1",
"mbp_backlight",
"acpi_video0",
"fujitsu-laptop",
"nvidia_backlight",
"samsung",
NULL,
Patching this file, eliminating the toshiba device from the preferred list and adding intel_backlight to it might solve the issue.
On another page, https://github.com/mate-desktop/mate-po … issues/135 they suggest another possible hack: changing the priority of device type
file plugins/power/gsd-backlight-helper.c
/* search the backlight devices and prefer the types:
* firmware -> platform -> raw */
path = gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "firmware");
if (path != NULL)
goto out;
path = gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "platform");
if (path != NULL)
goto out;
path = gsd_backlight_helper_get_type (devices, "raw");
if (path != NULL)
goto out;
Changing the order to firmware -> raw -> platform would solve the problem for me too.
Unfortunately I've never done any patching yet. How would I go about it?

Satellite R830-1GZ - CPU usage high ( 25%) and fan speed increase after wakeup

Hello all
The CPU usage of my laptop shoots up to 25% (and beyond) and the fan speed increases dramatically after waking up, but only when I'm using an external mouse (Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000) - disconnecting the mouse once this has happened does not solve the problem, so I'm always forced to restart my computer if I have let it go to sleep with the mouse connected.
I've noticed that when this happens System Interrupts - Deferred Procedure Calls and Interrupt Service Routines appears in the Resource monitor>CPU>Processes, and seems to explain the increase in CPU usage.
Any ideas on how to fix this would be most appreciated.
I'm using a Toshiba Satellite R830-1GZ with Windows 7 (64 bit). This problem does not happen when I use the same mouse with another laptop (Dell with Windows XP).
Thank you very much.
CM

Thank you for your reply.
I was using the mouse without installing the software that came with it (IntelliPoint), which seems to have been necessary to obtain the latest driver. So I've installed the latest driver now, but... I've still come across the same high CPU usage problem after wakeup.
If your suspicion is correct, should disconnecting the mouse before putting the computer to sleep (hopefully allowing the process that controls the mouse to close properly) stop this problem from occurring when it wakes up?
Could this problem also occur due to an external keyboard? I'm pretty sure it's the mouse (given my experience of using only the external mouse and only the external keyboard) and my understanding is that keyboards don't require special drivers (at least the A4Tech one I have claims it doesn't)... just trying to exclude all possibilities.
Thanks again for your help.

Satellite Pro M70: Need original discs and Configfree says switch is off

1. I cannot find any original discs for my Sat.Pro M70 - any suggestions.
2. Configfree is installed and running but it keeps advising me that my wireless switch is turned off. It is clearly on.
Any suggestions please

Tobi is right. Original recovery CDs you can order by service partner in your country. If you need addresses you can find them under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com ?Support & Downloads ?Find an Authorized service provider.
Issue with ConfigFree is very strange. Do you use right ConfigFree version for Satellite Pro M70?

Satellite U400-183 - Need Recovery DVD and AHCI drivers

Hi there,
I tried to reinstall Win Vista Home Premium to my Satellite U400-183. I used a Win OS DVD that came with my other Notebook from an other manufacture and the Key which came with my Toshiba notebook. Everything worked just fine but in certain areas of Windows still are some specific settings from the other manufacture. Now is there a possibility to get a Windows Vista DVD from Toshiba?
Another question is where I can get the AHCI drivers. There is only a exe file on the support site which i can't use while installing Windows. There have to be these .sys files but I can't find them on the Toshiba site, so I had to install Windows in compatibility mode.
THX in advance!
PS: Sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany...

Hi!
A new recovery DVD you can get from your local ASP (authorized service provider).
Or you order a DVD from Toshiba directly:
https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx
The AHCI drivers or lets say Intel Storage Manager you can download from the Toshiba website as you already said.
The .exe file you must extract to use it during the installation but with the recovery disk you dont need them.
Please read the readme file in from the Storage Manager, there is an example how to extract it. Use he command line
For example: -A -A -PC:\<path>
Bye

Satellite C855D-S5205 need to install win7 32bit

Dear All,

and Now I've been delete Drive C: tell me some solution for solve this problem
Thank you in Advance

Hi! Go here!
https://support.toshiba.com/repair
You need to order the recovery discs and start over. Goodness people this is not Rocket Science! You need a media to install a operating System. Toshiba has given you all the tools to do these things. There is more than just knowing where the power button is. You can't just delete or formatt and exspect miracles. If you failed to create the recovery discs, then order them from Toshiba
Dokie!!
I Love my Satellite L775D-S7222 Laptop. Some days you're the windshield, Some days you're the bug. The Computer world is crazy. If you have answers to computer problems, pass them forward.
