Satellite T130 - No wireless adapter in device manager

I only got connected to the internet yesterday. The internet worked fine, but on shut-down I had the first round of Windows updates. Now I have exactly the same situation - no wireless adapter in the device manager, no unknown or 'other' devices (some posts suggest update driver for these then it will recognise). I had not played around with the system settings at all (only had the laptop for a month) and even restoring it to before I had the internet has not got it back. Interestingly when I turn on the computer the 'internet' LED on my router blinks for a few seconds - suggesting some communication as I am the only computer connected. Also as it worked fine before (and the laptop has not even been moved) I do not believe the many responses to posts about "hardware problems". After seeing many similar questions in this and the US forum I wish I had never bought this laptop. Because I have not seen any posts with a solution apart from taking it into the service centre!
I really don't want to go down the service centre route with a brand new PC. I will never again buy Toshiba unless they offer me a downloadable/phone solution when I call them tomorrow.
I really hope someone from Toshiba is taking all these posts seriously. Don't do a Toyota.

Hi buddy,
To be honest I dont know what problem you have.
First of all its not important if your notebook is brand new or not. Such problems can happen on all computers, even if they are only few days old. Every parts are electrical parts and can die always. Nobody is able to say when it happens or can avoid this.
For example with a new car you can also have problems after few days and then you also go to the service point. ;)
Back to your problem:
You can try restoring to factory settings. If this doesnt work it seems to be a hardware malfunction but make sure that WLAN adapter is enabled with FN+F8 key combination.
I doubt that somebody from Toshiba will read your posting. Its only an user to user forum where you can talk with normal users. Toshiba isnt your first contact person, its always the authorized service provider.
Here you can search for an ASP in your country:

Good luck and I hope I could help you a little bit! :)

  • Thinkpad T510 Windows 7 No wireless adapter found & device manager network adapters exclamations

    Lenovo owners,
    I was wondering if you could help.
    I’m having issues with my laptop(Lenovo thinkpad T510) all of a sudden and cannot pinpoint a solution and it seems my laptop is getting progressively slower.
    One day upon startup I could not obtain a network connection either wirelessly or even while connected. (I’ve never had a problem & even earlier that day , and even turned it on later that evening and had no problem, and now these issues are back.)  I searched for connections and received a ‘no wireless adapter found’. I checked my device manager and noticed the yellow exclamation point next to all under network connections. When clicking on the driver the message ‘This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device.’
    I tried updating the driver under driver tab, but to no avail, or I have the most current.
    I’ve searched Lenovo forums stating to uninstall drivers and install but many people still have the same issue.
    Does this sound like manufacturer issue or virus type relation?
    Now my laptop seems to running slower and slower upon startup and shutdown.
    Anyway anybody can help would be appreciated. I’m starting to get backlogged on work.
    & Yes, the switch on the side of my laptop is turned on

    Free AVG and Malwarebytes yep. Ive performed scans on both and no threats detected.Diagnostics results shown below. States exactly what Device Manager did and once i try to reinstall driver I get the Device status code 31 window(shown on the right). I've tried reinstalling drivers and restarting but no change in status. The only thing that happened since i that happened when i shut down my working laptop and when i turned it on and ran into these issues were Windows Updates upon shutdown. Any chance a wacky update could wreck havoc on all my drivers?

  • No network adapter in device manager

    Recently did a system restore on a Pavilion p6750z running Win 7 Professional 64-bit. After the restore was complete there is no network adapter in the device manager. There are no unknown devices there either. It's as if the network adapter does not exist. Tried manually installing the drivers for it - not possible because Windows says there is no adapter. Realtek's diagnostic software does not find it either.
    Over the years I have seen NICs fail before, but they would always still be in the device manager even though they did not function. This is the first time I have seen one just disappear from device manager. I suppose that it is just a matter of a bad adapter, it just seems rather odd because it was fine before the system restore.

    Hi,
    Yes it does seem odd.
    Go into Device Manager and rescan the hardware. Use the Action TAB or right mouse click at the top of the device tree on your PC.  Do you now see the adapter in Device Manager?
    Boot into the bios (F10 setup) and make sure that the on board LAN adapter is enabled.  Is it detected and enabled?  It should be listed under Advanced.

  • Satellite R630 - No wireless adapter found

    Hi
    I got the Satellite R630 just last week and installed firstly the included windows seven.
    After getting used to the system (I'm usually on Linux) I recognised, that there was no wireless lan connection available and no possibility to start the wireless lan.
    I've read, that the shortcut FN+F8 the wireless connections starts, so in my case it is the bluetooth and the wireless lan, but every time I pressed these just the bluetooth would start.
    Than I looked up in the hardware manager and under networks (or something like that) was just the lan-adapter listed, so I than looked up in the systeminformations, where under components the wl-adapter is listed.
    There it is listed as Atheros AR9285, and it also is written there, that the drivers are installed and the adapter could be used.
    But why can't I just switch it on? And why is it, that the adapter is not listed in the hardware manager?
    Anyone up with a solution?

    I have R630-11L with a Broadcom Card.
    I have had different problem witht the laptop not being able to connect to my Router. I finally was able to solve the problem and during this process, I had to install / uninstall the driver for the Broadcom several times. Thus, I hope my experience below will help you out.
    1- When I unistalled the driver for the Broadcom, the bluetooth seems not to get affected by the process. Ethernet cable works as well.
    2- According to Broadcom website, it is better to uninstall from Add/Remove programs, and not from Device Manager
    3- Installing as an administrator seems to solve more problems, but maybe I'm mistaken on that
    4- The driver can only be downloaded from Toshiba Website (U can usee the software that came with your laptop to access the driver update pages). The driver can not be found on Broadcom webpage
    Now here's the bad part:
    If you re-install on an existing driver, the driver wil work fine. However, if you completely remove the driver and have a fresh installation, the wireless network card will appear grayed out and disabled. Trying to enable always fails despite a false message saying it is enabled. I have all what I know to enable it, but didn't work out.
    Bottom line, I was not able to run the wireless network card by fresh installation of the driver.
    I couldn't figure out why.
    I had to restore my system to a working point using System Restore and in Safe Mode.
    Luckily I was able to solve my connection problem by tweaking some settings. However, I hope I don't face the problem of dealing with the driver again as it was not a pleasant experience.
    My suggestion is to see a Toshiba Technician for proper setting / installation.
    Thank You and Good Luck.

  • Satellite L500-1GE - Battery unknown in device manager

    Hi.
    I have a problem with battery driver. I'm using Microsoft Windows XP professional. Manager of devices shows battery 2x (unknow devices!). Anybody have the same problem?
    I'm waiting for answers. I am greeting everyone. Sorry for my English

    Hi
    There is no battery driver that you mean. Its a part of Windows and you dont have to change anything on it.
    So please check the device manager again. What devices you mean exactly? Have you already checked the device and vendor ID?
    Maybe you should try to remove both entries and restart the notebook. After this the drivers should be installed automatically.

  • Satellite L300D - Error code 19 in device manager on CD/DVD drive

    I have a Satellite L300D model PSLC0E and have just installed Windows 7 upgrade from Vista, all is running well apart from HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N ATA DEVICE and ATI. With the HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA-T50N ATA DEVICE there is a driver problem it says <Windows cannot start this hardware device because its configuration information (in the registry) is incomplete or damaged. (Code 19)>it seems to do with NTI Backup 4, have tried updating to NTI Backup Now 4.5 but still no luck.
    With ATI I have run updates and reinstalled the program, checking the system it shows that it is installed and the every thing is running but I do not seem to be able to change the display settings the largest is 1200 x 800, I seem to think that with ATI there should be more but not sure because when I start to run a game the screen size changes to 1024 x 768 and i cannot change anything. Any body got any Ideas?
    Grommitt60

    Hi
    1)Have you also tried to remove the upper- and lowerfilters in registry? I have noticed in forum that this does solve this error code. On the Microsoft Knowledge Base you can find a workaround for this:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
    2)I have also Satellite L300D and the maximum screen resolution is 1200x800. So you can set a higher screen resolution on internal monitor, this is only possible on external monitor.
    And normally you can change the screen resolution in every game. Check this!!!

  • Satellite 5200-903 does not detect Wireless Adapter

    hello everybody,
    I wonder if anyone can tip me on this one...
    Since I reinstalled the OS ( have XP pro SP2 ) PC seems not detecting anymore the WIRELESS adapter in Device manager under Network Adapter.
    Also the light of the wireless switcher does not turn on anymore.
    I am also having problems to access the BIOS to check if the adapter is detected there, I do not have a Toshiba HW setup in Control Panel as indicated in the manual.
    Any suggestions?

    Hello Juliana
    The question is how did you install the OS? If you use recovery CD all tools will be installed including Toshiba HW setup. If the unit is preinstalled with Microsoft WXP CD you must install all Toshiba stuff belatedly.
    Just short explanation about WLAN card. Basically if the light of the wireless switcher does not turn on thats clearly indicate onto hardware problem. I assume that the WLAN card is defective. Check also if the card is listed in device manager.
    If you want to enter BIOS settings pres ESC button at the boot up procedure and keep it down for a few seconds.
    Bye

  • W510 w/WinXP, device manager reports issue w/1394 Net Adapter (error code=10)

    I recently reimaged a brand new W510 w/WinXP w/SP3 & installed Lenovo Toolbox utility. Which immediately identified an issue w/the 1394 Net Adapter in Device Manager. Looking at the Device Status (details) it states "The Device Cannot Start (code 10)" and suggests reloading the drivers. I've tried updating them using the UPDATE DRIVER button and searching the web but it states Windows cannot find a better match then the one I have. I've copied the driver from a 2nd WinXP machine (nic1394.sys). I've installed all of the Microsoft updates (for Critical Software and Hardware). Installed the Lenovo Driver Update utility & installed all available driver updates and flashed the BIOS and nothing has resolved it.  I've run the full Lenovo toolbox diags and everything passes (including the 1394 adapters) I've also sent the PC into Lenovo for repair and they indicate everything tests fine as well..
    Question, does anyone one know if this device is compatible w/WinXP ? Any other suggestions ?
    Thanks,

    hey acekc77,
    the Lenovo Toolbox, is it version :6.0.5802.24 ? If it isn't, could yo go here and install the latest version >>

    Hi
    > The problem appeared after system's being reinstalled.
    How did you reinstall the OS?
    Did you use the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    If not then I assume that you have installed wrong WLan driver
    > no wifi adapter in device manager.
    Do you have a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager -> Network Adapters?
    If yes, then this would mean that a WLan driver is missing
    I dont know what WLan card you have but you can find all WLan drivers here:

    PS: ensure that BIOS is up to date and that it has been set to default settings.

  • Wireless adapter not showing any available networks

    I've recently discovered that my Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 wireless adapter in my Asus Zenbook UX32VD running Windows 7 64 bit is not working as it won't show any available networks while my phone can find plenty in the same area. 
    So far I've:
    -Re-installed the driver. Before I did this the adapter wouldn't even show when trying to change adapter settings. When I looked at the adapter in device manager I found an error code 52 which disappeared after I re-installed the driver.
    -Re-installed the client for windows networks installed for the adapter which did not make a difference.
    -Temporarily turned off my AVG-free anti-virus which did not make a difference. 
    When looking at the adapter after clicking change adapter settings in the networks and sharing center it says it's not connected, but as stated above it doesn't show any networks to connect to.
    Also, when I try to use the networks diagnostics tool I get the following error message:
    Windows cannot find
    '::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB06...\resultPage?keywords=+Network;NetworkDiagnostics'.
    Make sure you typed the name correctly, and the try again.
    Any possibly solutions I've not already tried are welcome. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi,
    Locate to Services and check all services relating to wireless and network are enabled: Wireless Zero Configuration and WLAN AutoConfig, etc.
    Also, make sure your NIC is working correctly from device manager.

  • AMD Radeon HD 6750 isn't showing on Windows Device Manager. Help pls?

    Hi Guys,
    I am a noob to this, hence appreciate some help here.
    I have installed Windows 7-32bit using either Parallels Desktop and VMware Fusion with hope to run some latest Windows games like BF3. Unfortunately, the Display Adapter in Device Manager isn't showing AMD Radeon HD 6750 (unlike many of you here in this forum) but Intel Graphics (WDDM). When the game launch, it draws on the Intel Graphics instead of the AMD Radeon's and make it unplayable. Please advise what I've done incorrectly and what should I do, thanks a lot!
    Thanks and regards

    If you want to play Windows-based games on your Mac, install Windows via Boot Camp rather than try to run your games in a virtual machine. When you do the latter, your Mac's hardware resources are divided between the two operating systems, and Windows doesn't have full access to or control over the hardware. That will make Windows games run poorly or not at all. When you boot into Windows, only Windows is running, and it can use all your Mac's hardware to run your games.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - No wireless adapter not shown in device manager

    Can you Help - Toshiba Satellite Pro A10
    Model No PSA15E-01PFQ-EN
    Serial No Y3602494G
    Windows XP Pro
    On the front of this laptop is a switch for wireless - this switch is set to On, Windows XP Pro cannot find any wireless device - Windows Device Manager does not show any wireless adater. Can you advice please - do I need to install Driver - Does this laptop support a wireless conection?
    Many Thanks
    Owen

    Hi
    Usually if you have a wireless switch your notebook should have a wireless LAN card too. In your case I would try installing the driver. Then the WLAn card should be displayed in device manager properly:

    If this doesnt work you can try a BIOS update.
    Are you running factory settings or have you installed your own Windows version?

    Hi
    Your notebook supports the Realtek 802.11(b/g/n) RTL8188CE WLan chip.
    First of all you should check the control panel -> software are
    Check if there is something installed related to Realtek Wlan driver.
    If yes, then uninstall this piece of software firstly.
    If you will not find any Realtek Wlan software there, I recommend downloading the driver from here:
    http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads
    The latest available version seems to be 1005.19.0420.2011
    feedback would be appreciated...

  • Just boot camped mid-2012 MBP using Apple's BootCamp 5.1.5621. However, no wireless adapter is listed in device manager

    [In Windows 8.1] When I access the Device Manager, it does not list my wireless adapter as one of the devices available. I have attempted to manually install the drivers from the BootCamp 5.1.5621 file.
    I've spent several hours attempting to remedy this but have only found threads explaining how to solve the problem if the 802 adapter is already listed in the device manager.

    I recently had some BT issue's in Win8 so I wrote a topic about this subject. Maybe you need to replace the Broadcom drivers as well.
    Please have a look here:

  • My wireless adapter is not showing in my device manager under network adaptors

    I have a Pavilion, model p6210f with Windows 7
    I have used it for 2 years with an ethernet cable and now I need it to go wireless, however, no wireless adpater is showing in the device manager under network adaptors, only showing the LAN.
    Checking the specifications for this model at the hp website, it should have a 56K Win Modem.  
    Don't know what to do except go buy a USB Wireless adaptor, any ideas?
    Called tech support, but I was given no assistance.

    Hi:
    Below is the link to the product specs for your PC.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01852858&tmp_task=prodinfoCategory&cc=us&dlc=en...
    The PC does not come with wireless networking capability - only a wired ethernet adapter and a dial up modem.
    The easiest thing to do is to purchase and external USB wireless network adapter.
    Below is a link which will give you plenty of choices to consider. Look at the reviews and buy one that best suits your needs. You will of course, also need a wireless networking router.
