Hi
Dont think that you will be able to find such instruction
As far as I know Toshiba page does not provide such documentations and I think such manuals are not created for a public usage.
In my opinion only a authorized service partner have got a access to such manuals and if youve some hardware problems with your notebook the ASP technician is your contact person.

Portege R500 logs off spontaneously with no user input

My Toshiba Portege R500 has a strange problem where it logs off spontaneously without any user input. This has happened since approximately 2 weeks into ownership and happens once or twice per day.
There is no consistency in when or why this happens. The machine can be idle, or I can be running a variety of software. There is no consistency in the software I have running when it happens. The machine will just suddenly display the Windows XP "logging off" dialog box, then commence log-off. It gets to the "Saving your Settings" stage then hangs. I then need to force a power off and reboot the machine. This happens regardless of whether the machine is running off the battery or mains power.
This doesn't seem to be heat related, as I would expect heat related problems to simply power the machine off, not actually go through the log off procedure. There is nothing in the event viewer and it does not seem related to any particular software. I have tried recreating my local profile and the problem still occurs.
My technical services department have been told that Toshiba Support will not look at this problem unless we try a full rebuild of the machine first. I find this a bit extreme and would rather they looked at resolving the problem instead of just wiping the whole thing and re-installing Windows XP.
Has anyone experienced this? Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Derek

Hello Derek
Is WXP your own installation or you got WXP recovery media?
To be honest for such problems is really not easy to find an answer and to find any logical explanation can take hours of investigation. If your case is an isolated case I do not see any sense to spend so many times and because of that I can understand the support guys.
The fact is that Toshiba must guarantee that recovery image will work well. And because of that they can say: let us make new WXP installation and see if the problem persists. At this point where you make some changes on preinstalled OS and install some non-supported software there is a new situation and it is not easy to offer simply answer to every strange issue.
I am really interested if someone else will report about the same problem.
Bye

Portege R500 - Can I change the SSD?

Hi. Have issue of replacing, replace ssd.
I got PORTEGE R500 (version PPR50U-02M01W) with SAMSUNG_MCCOE64GQMPQ_SE805B0137. It has only 64 GB.
I contacted Toshiba service asking to replace with something bigger, they said it's impossible! HOW SO? It should be possible to replace 64GB SSD to 256GB SSD!
If somebody can give me the link to SSD, which gonna fit 100% in my existing ssd will be very thankful!

Technical guys said for my model (I gave part.nr. serial.nr.) it is impossible to replace existing ssd with larger ssd!
I asked, how much it gonna be USD to replace lets say 128 GB or 256 GB.
I contacted with local Toshiba service in my country .
No problems with the service so far, execpt one stupid question after all fixes lady is calling in NON-OFFICIAL language and asks how was the service.
Hate that otherwise perfect Toshiba service.
And also in this case they said IMPOSSIBLE Toshiba service can not offer for this model larger ssd.
This is funny also for me. Because in ebay it's easy to find any kinds of ssd evn 1.8 inch.
I just dont want to buy something, which does not 100% fit in.

PDF or HTML for mobile Technical Documentation and Newsletters

Hi,
I've been reviewing the pros and cons for PDF and HTML for mobile technical documentation and newsletters and wanted to get your honest thoughts on this.
Here's the scenario:
I need to create mobile technical documenation and newsletters that are interactive, i.e. video, commenting/annotating, links, forms, etc.
Given how the mobile publishing market is rapidly evolving, what is the most practical format, (with minimum format issues) to use for both short term and long term? PDF or HTML? Why?
Based on your choice, which format would you use for non-interactive documents that offers the most creative options and usability? Why?
Paul

Hyper Text Markup Language ( HTML ) is going to work better. Mainly because the way mobile is setup, the interface has to conform to the device and with the other elements coded into the interface, HTML is far better. You keep referring to usability, so even in non-interactive scenarios in mobile documentation, you're better off using HTML.

Hard Disk Replacement for Toshiba Portege R500-S5006X

I have a Toshiba Portege R500-S5006X which is out of warranty. I would like to replace the hard disk. What hard disk should I purchase? What is the maximum capacity (size in GB), maximum RPM speed and size in inches I can use in this laptop? Will a SATA-2 hard disk work in this laptop? Any other information I need to know about the hard disk replacment? I would be happy to get an answer from an official Toshiba technician.
Thanks,
dandanl

I don't know if the Toshiba people who post here are technicians, I suspect not, so you might be waiting for a while if that's the only person you would accept information from...
At any rate, the standard drive in that computer looks like it is a SATA 2.5" 9.5mm thick.
The following is a spec page for one of the stock drive options (they used a couple different drives, but pretty much equivalent)
http://storage.toshiba.com/storagesolutions/archived-models/MK1646GSX
As far as something of a larger capacity working, it should be fine, just keep in mind that a physically larger drive might not fit, so keep the height to 9.5mm

Where can I find XP x64 drivers for Portege R500 - hotkey / power management?

Where can I find downloads that will enable power management or hotkey support for my Portege R500?
I have already installed drivers for everything except fingerprint reader (don't want), tpm (really don't want), and hdd motion sensor (tos620a) (not bothered about right now). Most drivers are latest from original vendor websites, or, failing those, from Toshiba's Vista 64-bit download areas.
Everything else generally works: wifi, graphics & chipset, sound, lan, bluetooth stack, cardbus, card reader, etc.
However, having done this, the following issues remain:
FN hotkeys don't work for suspend to ram, suspend to disk, *screen* *brightness* - essential to extending lifetime; FN hotkeys for numeric/direction pad, external monitor toggle *do* work
Dedicated backlight toggle button doesn't do anything
However, in order to get battery lifetime beyond ~2.5 hours and closer to the rated 7.1 hours, I'll need to turn some things down / off occasionally. What software can help and where can I get it, such that it works on Windows XP x64 edition?
Note:
I have tried the xp 32-bit packages that Toshiba supplies, they don't appear to work on x64. The 'ctrls' package requires 'cmod', but 'cmod' gives this error:
TOSHIBA Common Modules Setup
Not an ACPI machine. Cannot install TOSHIBA ACPI Logical Device.
OK
I have tried the xp 32-bit package called 'pwrsav'; it installs a bad help link to my start menu, and adds a couple of exes, tpsmain and tpsoddctl, to my auto-runs. These 32-bit executables quit immediately after execution.
I would have tried to install Toshiba's Vista 64-bit packages for hotkeys / common modules / power management, but the only one of the three I can find via toshiba.co.uk are common modules, and unfortunately that zip file only contains .inf, .cat and .sys files, no installer.
Motivation:
I'm using a fresh install both because the default Vista install is unusable (900MB memory used on a fresh boot desktop, drive split into multiple partitions, trial, adware and broken software installed left and right)
I'm using x64 because I'm a software engineer whose next product needs to work on x64, and this new laptop was a likely first candidate

You didn't link to the tool you found. If you meant this tool then, you should be aware it doesn't work on x64 on R500:
Display Tuner
Cannot detect monitor!
Your monitor does not support DDC control or your videocard is not supported by Display Tuner.
You cannot use Display Tuner in this configuration.
OK
It would be unlikely to work in any case, as display driver brightness isn't normally the same as the screen's brightness (hence power usage).
Maybe it's a communication issue, but I *have* found +original+ drivers for all essential components, just not for things like screen brightness - something that, to be honest, I more expect to be handled in firmware / bios, as that's been my experience on previous laptops, and is more reliable in any case, considering I could be running an oddball Linux or a completely different OS, or a CPU-intensive high-priority task.
The R500 series seem to be scrimping on the firmware and expecting OS utilities and dedicate yet another system tray icon to take over that job.
It does look like x64 is a no-go for mobile use on this machine, due to lack of firmware power management, which is a great pity as the point of such a light machine is mobility. I'll wipe it and install XP 32-bit and see how that goes.

Portege R500 - Ctrl Key not working

Hi Guys
I have two toshiba portege r500 which have never really be used since purchase about 2 years ago.
Today I get one out to start using it and find the ctrl key is not working which I thought was strange.
After a little browsing I could not find a solution so I simply got the other identical laptop out and starting using that only to find the exact some problem.
The laptops are both running XP.
One of which I have reformatted and uninstalled the keyboard driver to see if that would solve the problem but it did not.
Any others. Many have suggested that it may be due to a damaged keyboard cable but I think it would be highly unlikely that they would both break in the same way.
Thanks in advance

Connect an external USB keyboard and check if the button would work.
If the button can be used with external keyboard then the internal keyboard is faulty and needs to be replaced.

Portege R500 connection to Toshiba 19AV505D LCD TV

I want to connect my Portege R500 laptop to a Toshiba 19AV505D LCD TV.
I have tried using a VGA to HDMI cable and altering the screen resolution to 800x600 and 16bit colour but it still won't recognise the tv.
Any ideas?
TheTV manual says use a DVI to HDMI cable and I tried this first with a VGA converter (as there is no DVI socket on the R500) but it didn't work either.
Would a SCART to VGA cable work?

What VGA->HDMI adapter are you using?
What version HDMI does it support?
Maybe the TV requires HDMI v1.2 or v1.3 (check the users manual)

Portege R500-10J: Not possible to watch movies - display colors too dark

Hi!
I've recently bought a Portege R500-10J and have a pretty bad problem - I can't watch any movies here (DVD, or *.avi, or any others). Any media can't be seen on the display. Its too dark and some colors are reflected.
I have no problems with any office applications, or internet browsing, colors are great for 12.1 inch display, but using any media applications is nearly impossible.
Changing any settings doesn't help. Colors are extremely poor. I didn't install anything but that came with the notebook first.
Anyone knows - is this a hardware problem (videocard), or software (codecs, drivers, smth else), or it is a normal condition?
Hope it can be fixed. This notebook supposed to be used for watching films while travelling...

To be honest it is not easy to understand your problem. I presume you will use battery power supply while traveling. In this case power saver tool will probably switch to power saver mode. In this case the display brightness will be set to lower level.
You can set it to highest level using FN+F7 key combination. Be also sure the display is in the right direction (90 degrees to your eyes).

Portege R500 - Bluescreen after installing WXP SP3

*laptop toshiba Portege R500*
*model-no ppr50e00j00fs4*
Installed SP3 via update-site, got message SP3 sucessfull installed please restart ... now bluescreen an no possibility to restart! Not even in save mode!
If I try to start with the installationdisk I get the following message:
STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, 0xF79ED8EB, 0xF79ED7F4, 0xF79ED4F0)
Can someone help me please?

Hmmm. seems this is known issue by Microsoft because I found these MS knwoldge base article:
How to troubleshoot a Stop 0x0000007E error in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/330182/EN-US/
Microsoft said that:
+these issues may occur if a system thread generates an exception that the error handler does not catch. You receive this error message if one or more of the following conditions are true:+
+ If this issue occurs after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after the Setup program is finished, the computer may not have sufficient hard disk space to run Windows.+
+ If this issue occurs after the first restart during Windows Setup, or after Setup is complete, the computer BIOS may be incompatible with Windows.+
+ Incompatible video adapter drivers.+
+ A damaged device driver or system service.+
+ If the issue is associated with the Win32k.sys file, it may be caused by a third-party remote control program+.
I would recommend checking the solution proposals published on the MS website.

Portege R500: cannot connect the remote DVI monitor via Dynadock

Hello,
I just connected Dynadock (DVI) with my Portege R500. The notebook would be supported -- according to Toshiba -- but my experiment confirms that Dynadock is not able to access DVI port. This implies, that Dynadock is nothing more than USB HUB.
My setup: Vista 32b Business (CZE edition), latest fixes, Toshiba R500.
Software: latest dynadock software 2.3c.
Symptom: I cannot connect to the remote DVI monitor via the dynadock, only two external panels with 800x600 are available, but Vista does not allow me to choose them.
More info: Dynadock Software requires to run without Microsoft Defender, else it blocks service:DisplayLinkService; file:C:\Program Files\DisplayLink Core Software\DisplayLinkService.exe
If you disable MSDef, the message "error 2738" appears when you connect the dynadock and when Vista tries to install a missing drivers for you.
Yes, I do know the VBS issue, and the problem is not caused by VisualBasic -- VBS "Hello World" runs.
If you still believe, that Toshiba Dynadock is compatible with Toshiba R500, then press Fn-F5 and peek at your logs and you must find something like:
In English: igfxext.exe throws an exception 0xc000000d, offset 0x0000f9f8.
I welcome any comments, hints etc. If you are able to pass this bug report to a responsible engineer, do so please.

Hello again Leo
I still believe you are wrong. Toshiba Dynadock is not designed for Toshiba products only. It is universal product and can be used on every notebook. To be honest I believe it is better to use it with new, more powerful, notebooks.
When you sat your notebook model is listed as compatible I believe you. Why not? Toshiba can list all newer notebooks. No problem at all. To be honest I am also interested to buy Dynadock but after reading your posting I wanted to see how it works exactly.
I have contacted my friend because he works in one big electronic store and I was lucky because he had Portege M500 too.
He was very nice and offered me to test Portege M500 SSD model with Dynadck PA3542EY1PRP. I hope you have the same model. It is DVI model. So I have done follow:
- Portege was preinstalled with clean Vista OS (factory settings started for the first time)
- I have installed latest Dynadock Utilitiy for Vista 2.3c
- Installing this software you must pay attention about installations steps and the installations procedure should not be interrupted
at one step there is window Installation Complete but it is not complete and must be continued with
Display Link Core Software installation
Video Dock installation
at this point the Dynadock must be connected to favorite USB port NOT FROM THE BEGINNING
- At the end I have restarted notebook
The installation was finished properly and I have connected 20 Toshiba Tekbright LCD display (DVI cable). The native resolution is 1680x1050. in Display properties there are shown three displays. Display number 3 belongs to display connected to the Dynadock.
Resolution 1680x1050 was there and display shows perfect picture. I have tested it as extended desktop and it works without problems. I didnt test it playing some movies.
I have also tested it with FN+F5 key combination. It does not work as it should be but there is definitely no error message. I know that FN+F5 key combination is not designed for external graphic card and I know that it can not work well.
At the end I can sat that Dynadock works well with Portege M500 SSD and there is definitely no error message. It works with Vista very well. I have tested it with screen saver and with few restarts. Nothing changes. Everything was OK.
So after this test I can say that you have done some mistake. If you want to use it again I recommend you to install Vista again using recovery image. After doing this you will have clean preinstalled OS. Install software but please follow the menu on the screen and be sure all three components are installed properly. If I am remembering well when you see message about USB audio device installation you must connect Dynadock and continue installation.
PLEASE FOE DYNADOCK USE ALWAYS THE SAME USB PORT!!!
Sorry for this long story but I can say for sure IT WORKS PROPERLY!!!
Have a nice day!

Portege R500 fan spins up and freezes

Hi
I have a Portege R500 running windows XP. I seem to be having issues with the Fan spinning up really quickly and the Laptop then freezing. It sems to happen mostly when I remove the Cat5 from the nic and turn on the Wireless nic. Toshiba have replaced the Cooling Module for me. I'm not sure if the issue is hardware or software, the issue sometimes happens randomly but as above mostly when removing the Cat5.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi all.
Thanks for the replies.
I have an image that I use, this image has been installed on 3 or 4 other Porteges and they have been fine. I have reinstalled the OS on this Laptop about 5 times, I have also tried Vista but get the same problem.
Sounds like it could be a Hardware issue then. Has anyone else experienced any issues like this?
I know the Laptops are small and the Airflow doesn't seem that great so it could just be over heating but as I say other machines are fine and the issue occurs mostly when the Wireless NIC is turned on.
Thanks for all the help so far.
