Toshiba 32DT1U Problem

Good evening,
I've had the TV since April of 2011 and it's always been at least reasonable. I've had a few problems trying to set up little things but all have worked out fine eventually.
This problem ties in with wanting to use an aftermarket speaker system as my PS3's sound through the HDMI/PC Audio In jack in the back. I understood via the instruction manual that to do this, I had to select the HDMI 1's audio input to "Analog" in the Sound Menu. When doing this, no sound comes out. The speakers are ideal, a number of devices have worked fine through them so far and with the volume up, touching a finger to the jack yields the trademark buzzing one would expect from a powered speaker. I've also tried it with headphones, and a different set of speakers. Perhaps the HDMI/PC Audio In jack is dead and has been so since I purchased the TV? Technical support over the phone was reasonable but informed me I would've had to pay a fee of $29.95 to essentially have her read me the manual I had just read myself.
If a feature of my TV is dead before I've had the chance to use it -and I've tried every other aspect and way to wire the speakers involving this input, and all have failed- then I'm going to be incredibly dissatisfied and put off from choosing any Toshiba products in the future.
I'm hoping you'll be able to fix my issue.
Thanks and Merry Christmas,
Mike

A little late given the intervening year, but it took me 6 months to solve the problem. Went through the same issues you did, with the same $200 (now $325) extortion.
The problem is with the wifi adapter Toshiba is using. I have a new (purchased in July 2014) Satellite C55. It, and most other recent (last couple of years) Toshiba's use the Qualcomm Atheros AR956 wifi adapter. From a reading of the internet, this
has a failure rate of about 50%, showing all the symptoms you describe: no connection, spotty connection, slow connection, etc. One expensive way to resolve the problem would be to replace the card, but there are compatibility issues related to this that I
as a non-Geek find overwhelming.
The solution for me was to buy a $10, external, USB Wifi Adapter from Realtek. Installed fairly easily with a mini cd. The Realtek bypasses the internal adapter, which is now set to "off" The Realtek shows as a third wifi connection.
True, you lose one USB port, but the problem is completely resolved. Wifi is back up to speed for me, no drops, no variances, no more cursing at my desk.
There are other external adapters which may work as well, but for 10 bucks, the Realtek was worth the chance. I strongly recommend this as a solution.
Hey, Toshiba, given the incredibly bad failure rate of the Atheros, and the multitude of complaints on your own website, why are you still using it?

Toshiba 37SL833 Problems with Tun ON

Dear All,
I hope most of you are on the same page like me.
I purchased Toshiba 37SL833 TV here in Switzerland during March 2012.
Ever since the purchase we were quite happy with the LED TV (except the lag at Power ON).
I had 3 * HDMI + 3 USB + Lot of Connections and so everything were perfect until last Friday.
My TV subscription service (UPC Cablecom) asked to do a Digital Scan (DTV and ATV Scan) to get more Digital Channels (As they were offering more Digital Channels). I did start the DTV and ATV scan........and that's was the hell mistake I did.
The screen froze at 100% completion and was frozen for 15 minutes. So, we decided to turn OFF the TV and re-start the same.
Since this incident, we are unable to turn ON the TV.
LED 1 was Red and LED 2 was blank.
Since last days, we have frequent blinking of LED 2 in Green Color.
We were quite upset with the situation and today I took the TV to the Showroom (Conforama in Basel, Switzerland). The Customer Service said, it would be easy to buy a New TV instead of repairing the TV. I asked her, If she was not ashmed to propose this solution ?
I had paid 527 Swiss Francs for the TV and it was good for 2 years and now she wants to have another TV. I was she was really mad.
I did get in touch with Toshiba Service Center in Switzerland and they said it would cost 125 Swiss Francs for the visit of a Technician and then extra charges for the spare parts etc etc. This would easily exceed 350 Swiss Francs.
Paying 527 in 03/2012 and paying 350 again in 06/2014 : This is totally unfair situation.
What is Toshiba's opinion on this ?
If this would be a known problem, why has Toshiba not acted fast enough to care for this ?
I would be happy if someone from Toshiba get's in touch with me ?
There's no complete Power OFF button in REGZA nor there is any reset button to be able to reset the Settings to factory settings.
What a shame. Toshiba has killed the reputation of a Japanese company.
If the situation prolongs like this, we won't buy any Toshiba products for the generations to come.
An investment in TV should be good for at least 5 to 6 years.
Looking forward to get some feedback from Toshiba World HQ Technical Staff.
Regards.

Toshiba 22L1334G problems with HDMI

First of all, thanks everyone for trying to help me :)
Now let's get to the problem: i bought this Tv-Monitor yesterday and i've immediatly connected it to my PC (Video Card AMD R9 270X) with HDMI cable (The cable is rev. 1.4 and less then 1.5m).
The overall definition is very good, but i actually have 2 problems:
first, the colors are really saturated and i can't get them natural even setting the Video Card Values.
Second, the text with little font if it isn't black is very blurred and pixeled, very difficoult to read.
Searching o Google i found similiar problems for lot's of people, but they resolved the problems simply setting the HDMI as PC input.
Unfortunately they were using Samsung's or LG's displays and in my Toshiba one there isn't the setting to set the HDMI as PC signal.
What can i do to use this TV as monitor in a good way?

Hi
First of all I have to say that this Toshiba 22L1334G device isnt an PC monitor but its an TV which can be connected to the computer using the available RGB (VGA) port.
So in case you want to connect an computer to this TV and want to use it as an external monitor, you should use the available VGA port
I have to say that I had the same problems in the past with the blurred fonts using the HDMI port.
I connected had an monitor/TV combo device and connected my notebook to an external monitors HDMI port.
The blurred fonts were really a pain using office applications But I found a solution; my device supported an additional DVI port and I could connect my notebook to monitor using HDMI-to-DVI cable.
My other monitor supports from another manufacturer supports additional settings to change the font sharpness so I can use the HDMI port.

Re: Imagem om my Toshiba with problems

Hi everyone,
When i boot my laptop, the image on screen appears with problems, can't read the letters and some traces in vertical. When windows start, shows a blue screen with a memory error but i can read it because it disapears very fast.
I thing (im not sure) that can be some problem with graphic card. I have removed the ram cards and swithed, but the problems stays.
Any ideas ???

Which image exactly? Does this image problem occur immediately when you press power button and when the Toshiba welcome screen?
On this virtual ay it is not possible to say what the problem is but I presume there must be some hardware problem, probably is graphic card defective. For more info you must contact Toshiba service.
BTW: which Toshiba notebook model do you have exactly? Is warranty still valid?

Toshiba Portege Problem: *Battery is not charging and web camera initialization failed.*

Hi,
I am having problems with my Toshiba Portege laptop. 1) Once laptop opens, window appears which says, "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer." Not sure what happened why the web cam application did not run properly. 2) Battery won't charge. When clicking the battery icon, it just says, "0% available plugged in, charging." I can not open my laptop when the cord is unplugged.
Appreciate if you can help me or any advice.
Thanks,

always good to tell what Portege and what system is running...
anyway -
to #1
an autostart process requests the camera, maybe Skype?
some web cams on USB ports do take some time
been initialised especially when attached via hub.
Windows boot sequences do not wait until they finished.
if the camera is working after a while than thats here the
case despite that message and it can be ignored.
to #2
forget the software symbol for the purpose of the question -
on any notebook you should see a battery symbol/LED
somewhere on the case. its yellowish/orange when
charging green when battery is full. if it doesn't change into green
(overnight charging) the battery is faulty or even missing...

New toshiba laptop problem

My girlfriend bought a toshiba satellite a505 in july. It's a great laptop for her school but it turns off periodically without warning. After it turns off it won't turn on until it is unplugged and replugged into the wall. Is this a problem with the power supply or something in the laptop? We would just return the laptop but best buy is forever away. All help will be appreciated

I agree with Lex, if the unit is less than 1 year old, I would have it submitted for service. If the unit was purchased at Best Buy, the Geek Squad at your local store can send the unit off for you. Average repair time it 10 to 14 days.

Toshiba booting problem

My Toshiba Pro L300 has a huge problem with booting. I run Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS. When I turn it on, it starts booting but before any sign of Ubuntu shows up, the laptop switches off. After about 3 seconds it turns itself on again. Then the GRUB menu comes up. Here I press ENTER to boot into Ubuntu. Then, after a few seconds, the whole sequence starts again. Finally, after six to eight times, I can log in. Then, after 5 to 10 minutes, my screen gets messy and the computer freezes. I can then only force it to shut down and start again. Finally, after 20 to 30 minutes, the laptop stays on, although once it switches off after about 45 minutes.
Please, who can give me some advice?

Hi uygur,
if you checked what Pelox said, and set the First Boot Device to Hdd, have a look that the Notebook boot up correctly.
If the message "Insert system disk in drive.
Press any key when ready." still appears, could it be possible that the Notebook has problems to boot from your Hdd.
Please keep me updated about your problem
bye

Toshiba Software Problem

Has anyone had problems with Toshiba Service Station and other programs "stop running"? What is the fix?

The only problem I've seen in this scenario is that the "Fn-Function" hot-key combinations quit at seemingly random points, operational after reboot though: None of the icons show themselves when the Fn key is pushed.
It really got me in trouble when I had shut off the mouse pad (touch pad) for typing - like they recommend in the user's guide! Ha! Would not go back on... life with out a mouse is no life at all when you're using a gui!
It took nearly a half dozen cold boots to get the mouse back to operational.

Re: 40TL938G - Toshiba Places problems

1. Video Places.
YouTube doesn't work, yet it is (still) present in Video Places.
It used to work until a while back, and I suspect it ceased working once Youtube Leanback service was apparently discontinued (by Youtube? or by Toshiba via software update?).
I've read a post on this forum suggesting that it is now advisable to go to www.youtube.com/tv in the built-in browser to be able to reach Youtube content. I've just attempted to do it, but the thing is the supplied open-browser in Toshiba Places does not support Flash player - so dead-end again! Moreover, when I went through Sign-in procedure (8-digit code in youtube.com/activate) I got "error - please try again later".
2. Social Places. Twitter doesn't seem to work either. It constantly reports "No tweets", which I know isn't true. New tweet sending dead too. Haven't tested yet Flickr. Luckily enough, Facebook does work!
Perhaps this kind of annoying shortcomings are inherent in a transition period (at the service providers and/or at Toshiba software development division) but it is a pity that users are not notified about it.
Because when a personal account in Toshiba Places was created by every user, we each checked "Toshiba may contact you by email" and there is even an Inbox placed in Toshiba Places.
My system information readings: Toshiba 2012 - 7.028.14.1 Jul 1 2013 - 87.8.97.9 - MBOOT Version: 00646225

News update.
I searched for previous firmware version on Toshiba server and found this link:
"Download Center model 40TL938G Firmware Update Version 7.0.27.19.1"
http://www.dl.toshiba.com/tsb-dtv/NA/GB/EN/40TL938G.html
I dowloaded 7_0_27_19_1_001-b.exe (114 MB), extracted tl938_745869.bin (115 MB, timestamp 06/14/2013) on a FAT16-formated USB stick, as per Toshiba instructions.
It was duly detected when I inserted the stick, the expected notification appeared "A software update is available. Do you wish to upgrade?", I clicked "Yes", then another notification: "Checking the latest firmware update available, please wait", and finally: "There is no update available at this time". Period.
I can only assume that, among other things, it checks the timestamp of the "upgrade" file, to make sure it is newer than the timestamp of current firmware - in my case 7.0.28.14.1 dated 1 July 2013. Sooo... bad luck!
It means that it is not possible to DOWNGRADE firmware on TL938G series via USB stick.
And back to square one in my quest to revive my Youtube @ Toshiba Places ...

Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

Hi,
We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago. However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba.
Problems:
Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time. Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes.
In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too. It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files. We are the only user account on this computer. We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer. Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer. It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds. HUGE nuisance. We watch a lot of videos.
Minor issue: In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com. If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results. On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine. I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can.
I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work. That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work. Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once. It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
This isn't a problem - just a question. Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary? Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
**CLARIFICATION: It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. The one that you have to pay for. Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

Yes, everything was fine with Firefox. However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
Thanks for battery info...
I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop. I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
Thanks for the info.
ScottinFla wrote:Concerning Firefox, have you checked your add-on list for any faulty plug-ins or extensions? Try disabling them and see what happens. Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
I have the same model and it works just fine.

Toshiba 32c3030d Television freeview problems

Hi,
My TV has decided to stop displaying freeview. (DTV input).
Terrestrial TV works okay, BBC - channel 4, as do all the other inputs, ie: HDMI1 and , PC etc.
I thought it could be just a signal issue ,however on i cant even select the menu option on DTV without it dropping off the screen after 2 seconds.
The display alternates every few seconds between black and darker black,(like the display has completely turned off)
Just so strange as all other inputs are fine!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kieron

Kieron,
Surprised more people not on here with this problem. Have contacted Toshiba - the problem is common. The set requires a factory software update. I telephoned them and despite the set being nearly 3 years old they have arranged collection - they'll supply the box, fix and return at no charge!! The service number is on the Tosh website.

Still problems with Toshiba Bluetooth Adapter under Windows 7

Hey there, it's me once again.
I refer to my thread "Bluetooth Problem under Windows 7":
I thought after the solution from bluecat my problem was solved. But it's not really.
After installing the Windows Hotfix, it worked just shortly. But now the problem is the same.
When I delete the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and try to work with the Windows Bluetooth Manager, I see, that the Bluetooth icon is coming an going on the task bar. In device manager I said Windows, that it doesn't shut down the device to save energy. But I think the device is turned on and off and on and off...
I really have absolutely no idea what the problem is, but I am becoming terribly angry.
Details:
Windows 7
Dell Wireless Bluetooth Internal Adapter 350 (but it's made by Toshiba)
Drivers tried out: Vista Profile Pack from Dell Homepage (no stack installed, just driver) / Toshiba Bluetooth Stack (the latest version)
This is the old Thread:
Dear all
Just as I installed Windows 7, my Bluetooth mouse and keyboard don't work fine.
I use the Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Internal Adapter, Logitech MX1000 mouse and keyboard and Toshiba Bluetooth Stack 8.00.02.
To connect the devices with my Computer, I firstly must disconnect the Bluetooth adapter by pushing Fn + F2 on my Dell i9400, after re-connecting I can search and connect the devices correctly. They work fine as long as the notebook is running.
After rebooting the notebook, the devices don't work anymore. They are still listed in Bluetooth Stack as known, but not as connected. Therefore I have to disconnect the Bluetooth adapter another time and re-connect it to be able to connect the two devices.
I firstly thought, that it's a Windows problem. I thought that Windows is able to put down the adapter to save some energy. But when I go to the Device Manager, there is no box for this option as known from other devices (f.e. USB-Ports). So this is not the problem. I think the problem is something else, maybe done by the Bluetooth Stack.
Under Windows XP this all worked perfectly. I used the same hardware and also the Bluetooth Stack by Toshiba (downloaded on the Dell Homepage).
Anyone some ideas?
Thanks!
Daevu

Hey there
Yesterday I made Format C: and installed Windows 7 new.
I did not install any bluetooth driver for my Dell Wireless 350 Bluetooth Adapter (made by Toshiba).
And now: The mouse and the keyboard are working. I even do not see them anywhere in my system, but they are working.
There is no bluetooth adapter in my device manager and I had not to connect the mouse and the keyboard with my computer. It's simply working without doing anything.
I don't understand this...
Is this a save connection?
What I've tried already:
-> Installing newest Bluetooth Stack from Toshiba. Problem seen in the message above. I also installed the MS Hotfix. Same problem.
-> Installing "Vista Profile Pack" from Dell Homepage, recommended for my notebook and Windows Vista. There is no stack installed. So I had to connect the mouse and keyboard via Windows Bluetooth Manager. But the adapter was made on and off by windows, the icon in the taskbar came and went and came and went. Connection is 1 minute good, then some seconds away. Not possible to work with the mouse.
And now without installing any driver it's working. Am I stupid?

Power management problems! Toshiba L655 and the battery is recognised

Ok I finally got the battery in this thing to be recognised so that power management will allow me to set how to handle power setting when running off of the battery.
I'm running KDE 4.8.2
Here's the problem that I'm having now, when ever I'm running AC everything is fine and power management seems to work perfectly, however when I unplug the power adaptor and run from battery every thing works as expected until I plug the power adaptor back in. When plugging the power adaptor back in it appears as though the on AC profile setting never take effect, like its stuck on the running on battery profile instead of switching back to running on AC as expected!
Any help in solving this problem would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!

Yes I do. It's one of things I did trying to solve the Toshiba acpi problem where linux claims there's no battery present.

R835 P56X USB 3 problems

I have my R835 running nice now with Crucial M4 SSD, 8 gigs ram, 6230 wifi and the latest Bios & drivers. But, whenever I use the usb3 port to transfer files from or to my usb3 supported external drive, it starts out fast but then comes to a screaching halt at quarter or third into the transfer! The computer doesn't freeze or crash, its just like the port locks up! Then I'd have to use the other usb2 ports without any problems, but slower!
Any ideas? I made sure the usb3 driver is installed!
Thanks.

Check out this post from another forum:

USB 3.0 problem appeared on my Satellite R830 after a month of everyday use. Controller started to power itself off not only on heavy file transfers, but sometimes even with simple USB mouse connected to it. Problem existed on both OSes which I have installed on my SSD: 32-bit WinXP Pro with latest driver from Toshiba's website ver. 2.0.34.1 and 64-bit FC16 Linux with 3.1.2 kernel (i've swapped stock HDD to Intel 320 SSD and said goodbye to Win7).
After a small research it seems that this is not Toshiba's problem, but a bug in old firmware of Renesas uPD720200 USB 3.0 controllers. It is described here for example. I've installed latest Renesas firmware (4.0.1.5) and latest Windows driver (2.1.28.0) found here, and it helped. I think problem has completely vanished now on all OSes, so solution was in firmware update, not in driver.
