Satellite U500-1F5 - How to turn on Bluetooth?

I just bought Satellite U500-1F5 and I want to know how to turn on the bluetooth?
thanx in advance

Hi
Install BT stack.
Then enable the BT using FN + F8
Now you should see the BT icon in the taskbar.
Right click the BT icon in the tray bar and select Add New Connection.
It is also possible to launch Bluetooth Settings and then click the 'New Connection button'.
Then you can choose Express Mode.
Note; BT should be enabled on the external device (which you want to pair) too.
Then you have to choose this device (should be visible in BT window of the BT stack)
Then pair both devices using an passkey (i.e 1111)
Thats all
PS: take a look here:

  • Satellite U500-1F5 gets a green screen when playing 720p/hd vids

    Hi,
    when I tried to play a 720p video with using vlc Video player with my Toshiba Satellite U500-1F5, it just shows a green screen but the audio is playing, I even tried playing other 720p vids of mine just to check if its only my video that might have a problem, I got lucky one of the videos work but the prob it becomes pixelated but when I put on full screen it becomes clearer.
    Can you help me to know what might be the problem? Thanks!

    Hi
    I guess you can watch original DVD movies without any big problems? Right?
    Well, in my opinion its matter of video codec.
    Possibly the player you are using does not support the codec used by the movie or such codec fail.
    Try to install the full K-Lite Codec Pack. This pack contains big collection of different audio and video codec.

  • Satellite U500-1F5: eco and FN buttons don't work after BIOS update

    Hi everyone,
    I hope i can find a solution for my problems in here.
    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite U500 (PSU9ME),
    I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.
    Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and i did it. since then i noticed the following problems:
    1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
    2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
    3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
    I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
    I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
    BUT
    didnt solve any of my prob
    still eco utility is not working. The msg (unsupported BIOS), appear when i run the update.
    The function buttons bar on the top of the screen not working ( even after i uninstall the toshiba value package and re-install the latest one) and the touch back lock/unlock button also is not working.
    I hope Toshiba can find me a solution, coz I dont have the time to go the service center

    Hello
    At first just one comment:
    *I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
    Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
    All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

  • How to turn off Bluetooth adapter via command line or script?

    I'm trying to write a batch script that will be able to turn on/off any connected Bluetooth adapters.
    In the "Bluetooth Settings" window, how can I change the "Turn off Bluetooth adapter" setting via command line or script?
    Due to my account not being verified yet, I cannot post a screenshot.  I will update this thread as soon as my account is verified.

  • Hi, how to turn on bluetooth on my new i-Pad2?

    I'm trying to pair my Apple wireless keyboard. Turning the bluetooth option will show the bluetooth symbol gray out at the top of the i-Pad and can not connect any devices. Please help.

    it is best to do the initial pairing from the BT area in settings.  (on general screen). when you select BT, it will begin to search for available devices.  The device also has to be on, and in discoverable mode.  When the two find each other, the device will be listed on that screen, and the two will try to pair.  In a lot of cases - you will get a message to enter a code on the device or your ipad keyboard to finish the pairing.  Once they are paired, you should not need to do that step again, although sometimes you may need to 'search' for the device.
    Note Meg's answer above - if you have the older white keyboard, you are out of luck.
    Lastly - not related to your question - if you are using a BT keyboard, and at some point bump a key (like if you are carrying it around) - it may start up the ipod function, and you will get music coming out of your briefcase.  IOf you are done using your BT keyboard - remember to turn it off!

  • Satellite U500-1E0 - how to switch off the mouse 'clicking' noise

    Please can anyone tell me how to switch off the 'clicking' noise that the mouse buttons make when they're depressed?
    Thanks.

    Im not U500 owner but Ive got a U400 notebook model.
    As far as I know the touchpad buttons dont support any clicking sound which could be enabled or disabled by software.
    Therefore I would say its a mechanical noise which cannot be disabled.
    Bye

  • How to turn on Bluetooth via Fn-F5 on Thinkpad SL400 in Windows 8 Consumer Preview ?

    I don't know how to enable bluetooth device then install driver for my Thinkpad SL400. It seem to be hotkey function not working well. Anybody know how to solve this issue, please help !

    The wireless device setting can be done from Fn+F5
    To work function key works with Power Manager software.
    If the Windows 7 software can install on Windows 8 then you can enable the wireless devices else you need to wait for the Windows 8 software

  • Satellite U500-11C: How to find drivers for Win 7

    Good Morning,
    I bought an U500 11C and I would like to install Windows seven.
    But I have a problem, I don't know how to find all the drivers to run with windows seven.
    Is it possible to use the same drivers than with windows vista ?
    Do you know where I can find the drivers for my laptop to run with windows seven ?
    Thanks a lot in adavance.

    Hi
    At this time you will not find the Win 7 drivers on the Toshiba European driver page because the Win7 is not official on the market.
    But I found some beta drivers on the Toshiba US page.
    http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/home.jsp#
    There you can find drivers for different notebook series I think U505 series is very similar to U500 so try out the drivers!

  • Black screen after login on my Satellite U500-1f5

    After I logged into my laptop, the screen went blank like completely black with just the cursor showing.
    I can start the task manager but nothing else. I tried safe mode and it worked fine.
    This only occurred in normal mode. So, I had to do a system restore and it worked.
    But I'm scared that i'll happen again.
    Does anyone know why this happened and how to avoid and solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance!!!

    >So, I had to do a system restore and it worked.
    >But I'm scared that i'll happen again.
    Who knows what happened here if the system restore worked properly, then this was definitely an software problem and software problems can happen due to some updates or compatibility issue between system and 3rd party software.
    PS: What notebook and what system do you use?

  • Satellite U500-178 to Sony Ericsson W995 bluetooth connection problem

    Hi,
    Both the PC and the phone identify the other but when you try to connect from the laptop it pops up with "Detection of service failed". The phone pops up with a similar message if you try to connect from the phone.
    I have updated the phone software and the laptop is running Toshiba Bluetooth Stack for Windows version 7.00.08.
    Bluetooth is enabled on both devices.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?

    Right-click on the Bluetooth system tray icon and select Options...
    Check in the General tab. Ensure that the "Bluetooth Information Exchange Service" is enabled.
    Check in the Windows Device Manager if the COM ports 15-19 exists.

  • Satellite A660-11M how to turn off the screen when I'm downloading?

    i just want to know how to trurn off the screen for save energy and protect the screen,someone tell me please! thanks a lot !

    If you are ready to switch off, put to standby/sleep mode you laptop by pressing alt-F3-F4 or through menu, then I recommend you set in power options "when I close the lid-do nothing". In that case closing the lid will switch off the screen for downloading time.

  • Satellite M40-237: How to connect the mobile phone with Bluetooth

    I have a new Noki 62333 and I have a Satellite Toshiba M40- 237. I have a big problem with the conection between them. I don t know how to turn on bluetooth on my pc. Can you help me????

    Hello Iva
    A friend of mine has Satellite M40 and I know that this unit is delivered without BT module. If the unit has BT module you will find BT label on the bottom side of your notebook.
    To establish BT connection with his mobile phone he uses BT USB stick.
    By the way: does Iva comes from Zagreb, Croatia?

  • Satellite U500 - Copy process is very slow

    Hi friends,
    I'm using Satellite U500-1f5, for last 2 months. It is core i5 with Windows 7. Still the copying process is very slow and some times booting is little bit slower.
    Can anyone post a valid answer to resolve this problem?

    Hey mate,
    Sounds like that you have installed a lot of software that slows down the performance of your notebook.
    So which programs you have installed?
    Theoretically it could also be caused due a virus or trojan. You should check your notebook for viruses using a good antivirus program like AntiVir.
    Try also to defragment the HDD. If you install/uninstall many programs, you should defragment the HDD from time to time. You can use the integrated Windows defragmentation tool.
