Toshiba 5200-903: TV-out

Hallo
My English is not very good and I hope you will understand me.
First I will tell you some basic details of my System:
Hardware: Toshiba S5200-903
OS: Debian Linux Kernel 2.6.15-1-686
I want to use the TV-out of my System. I need this mainly to connect to my audio-device. The normal audio-out (where normaly for example the head-set is beeing connected) is demaged; it only runs the right or left channel (I don't know which it is).
So how can I konfigure this TV-out in Debian Linux?
thanks - benny

Hi
The TV-out Composite 3.5mm video-Jack with stereo audio is available on this unit.
If you want to use it you have to use a cable with 1x composite and 2x cinch audio (left/right) connectors.
Im not sure about the software side. Like you know the Toshiba doesnt support the Linux but a usually sound driver should also works.

Hi
Well, sorry but I cant give you a proper answer for your question.
The fact is that the notebook screen is a expensive notebook part.
You should contact the Toshiba service partner in your country and ask him for the replacing costs.
Furthermore I have found this page where you can find the compatible screen.

How to install wireless on a Satellite 5200-903?

Due to a very bad virus I recovered Windows on a Satellite 5200-903 of a friendly businessman. But back home he saw: no wireless LAN could be used... It seems, that cause the WLAN-switch was "off" no WLAN-driver was installed/recovered...
Now he wants to come to me again tomorrow or the day after tomorrow - and I MUST know, how to install everything until then... he also will bring me his router, so I can configure everything for him on the notebook AND router (WPA, if possible).
But I found TWO drivers: one was a direct download of a small file of "Agere" - wlesslan-xp-7620390.zip
The other is from "Atheros", and the download is a links to another website "Toshiba EMEA - Wireless LAN Driver Portal" http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/?page=downloads , where I have to identify the WLAN adapter... But: on the first download-site (I mean BEFORE redirected to "Toshiba EMEA") there is at the list "Model" NOT any Satellite 5200.
Which driver is correct? Are there different WLAN-adapters in the 5200-903 series? Is it possible to find out the adapter model BEFORE he gives me the Notebook?
And in the list of drvers for the 5200-903 there was a download "WLAN hotkey" wlkey-xp-2003.zip ? Do I need that too? Do I need any other things?
And does such an "older" WLAN-Access work in another way than the integrated WLAN of a centrino e.g. ? I just know how to log into a WLAN with newer notebooks: button "wireless networks" on the right buttom oft windows, then chose the WLAN name to connect and type in the key, if needed.
Please help me, he lives 100 miles away from me and has not much time, he comes again to me just for that matter, and of course he was not amused when he returned home and couldn't connect to the internet... and he's an ABSOLUTE noob in technical things, so I cannot tell him how to do it on his own and need your help quickly.
Thanks a lot!

Hello Herb
I just want to make the whole story short and simply. After installing OS install drivers for hardware components. According the notebook specification for Satellite 5200-903 it is WLAN ready model and I do not know which WLAN card is inside. You friend should have info about that.
If there is Atheros WLAN card the right driver you can find HERE
After driver installation install all Toshiba designed tools and utilities starting with COMMON MODULES. It must be installed at first. WLAN-hotkey utility is important because using FN+F8 key combination you can enable/disable WLAN card.
WLAN software (Atheros WLAN client utility) is not necessary because for WLAN you can use WXP WLAN settings. You can use it if the WLAN card is activated properly.
So I hope you will set WLAN properly and if you need more assistance please write again.
Bye and good luck!

Satellite 5200-903: Problems with Fn-F5 and middle cpad button

Hi,
i updated my Win XP Home to Win XP Pro and installed all the toshiba goodies from the Homepage. Two things don't work as expected though:
* Fn-F5 doesn't cycle through the available monitors
* the middle cpad button cannot be used as a middle mouse button
Don't know why Fn-F5 doesn't work, all the other Fn-Keys work as expected. They show the OSD, too. Fn-F5 doesn't show the OSD and no function :/
About the cpad button: I tried the driver from the toshiba site and from synpatics.com
The problem is: in the control panel i can choose functions for each button. The function "middle mouse button" is available for the left and the right button, but not the middle one. And it is not recognized as middle mouse button, but as PageUp.
Any ideas? The notebook is a Satellite 5200-903.
Thanks for your help.

Hello Ataraxis
First of all I must tell you that Satellite 5200 is a great unit. If I found one that costs not much money I will buy it.
To your issues:
As far as I know if you want to use FN+F5 key combination you must install TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for Display Devices V2.1.0.0-1. I hope that this tool is installed properly. If you want you can try to install it again.
I am not 100% sure but I think that this small button in the middle has no the same function like middle button as a middle mouse button and it will be used to start sPad launcher. If you want you can check it in Users manuals. I didnt read it but I hope that there you can find a proper explanation about functionality of this small button.
Good luck!

Satellite 5200-903: Mini PCI Card doesn`t work

Hello,
I am a user of an:
Satellite 5200-903: P4-M 2.2/256+256 DDR/60GB/15T SXGA+/DVD-R-RW/nV FX 5600/cPad/WIFI ready/XP
My computer is equipped with an Toshiba Wirless lan Mini PCI Card.
I installed the card a few years ago - everything worked wonderfull.
At the beginning of 2006 I installed a new operating system (XP Pro + SP1, same system as before) because it was necessary.
I installed all driver for the W-Lan Card, obviously the card worked in the correct way (no driver incompatibility or other problems).
But, and thats the reason of this topic here. It isn`t possible to connect my card to any Hot Spot. I tried it with 2 different access points, but the result is the same. "No connection Point found".
Has anyone any idea what to do or in which direction I could look for the failure? Is there maybe any special Software necessary (I couldn`t remember, that in my last installation I had needed special driver or software)
If further informations are necessary, please inform myself.
(sorry for the terrible english, but it isnt my first language.)
THX for your help

Hi,
thx for the hints. But unfortunately none of these solved my problem.
1. I checked my device Manager, it`s shown a Toshiba Wireless LAN Mini Pci Card
2. The device is activated, with no problems
3. My wireless activation switch on the left notebook side is activated (led lights yellow)
4. Pushing the Fn+F8 Button results nothing
(wenn i press the combination during the Notebook switch is off - i got the message "wireless connection is deactivated, please activate")
What have to happen, when pushing the Fn+F8 Button during the wireless switch is activated? Is there any message on the screen?
Concerning the installed driver, how could I check what type of card is installed in my notebook. I know, that there a two types of driver and card existing, toshiba and atheros.
But, if the installed driver causes no problems I guess the right driver is installed.
Thx for any further Idea...

Satellite 5200-903: cooling problem error message

few minutes after booting my Satellite 5200-903 (xp home sp1)an error message apears: "Problem with the cooling system, shut down your system and send it to the service" (it's a free translation from German..) I installed a temperature checking tool, the software shows cpu temperature of about 60C, however I do not hear the fan..
Can someone help?

Hi
You have a good chance that it's only a cooling module.
Generally such warning message appears because the CPU cooling module cannot cool the CPU properly or it doesn't work.
However, the best way is to contact the Toshiba service partner in your country. Ask the guys for the opinion and I'm sure you will get a proper answer.
Good luck

No audio from 5200-903 and 2450-101

hi there,
i have just purchased a echo indigo dj PCIMCA soundcard and it installed in my 5200-903 no problem and is working fine...
http://www.echoaudio.com/Products/CardBus/IndigoDJ/index.php
but now my onboard speakers are not working..
i have tried everything, ie. removeing and reinstalling drivers with no success..
thinkin this might a been a problem with this laptop i tried it in the 2450-101 laptop and it has done exactlly the same..
on the second laptop i have formated the harddrive and reinstalled win2k, still nothing. this laptop also has XP on a duel boot, which has never had the indigo drivers installed into it..
according to windows device manager the sound card is working correctly and there are no errors when swiching drivers in windows and various audio programs...
i am very worried a would like some assistance if possible please..
cheers.

Hi,

"thinkin this might a been a problem with this laptop i tried it in the 2450-101 laptop and it has done exactlly the same..!
This is a evidence that it is not specific to one special notebook! You tested it on two different plattforms and it didn't work twice!
I think your problem is a driver problem of the PCMCIA Sound card!
Did you looked at the vendor HP for a updated driver version?
Then you should contact the support echoaudio and ask for problems with notebooks and if there is a solution available!
Bye

Logitech Headset 30 and Satellite 5200-903

Hello,
i want to use a logitech headset usb30, but it don't work with the Satellite 5200-903. What can i do? The operating system is Windows XP with SP2. When i connect the headset with a usb-port, it doesn't run.
Thanks for any Answer or Tip

Hello
I don`t know if there is some software that must be installed but you should check all Sounds and Audio devices properties. Please check also the Volume control if there is option mute activated.
Volume control dial at the front side of your notebook should also not be set to minimum level.

Toshiba 32 XV505 optical out and sound bar

Hi guys, wonder if you can help.
I have a toshiba XV505 TV and I've just bought a Cambridge Audio TV minx sound bar, it works fine with a headphone cable from the TV but for best quality sound I wanted to use an optical out cable. But when plugging in the optical cable I get nothing, I've tried the optical cable with the DVD player and it works fine so the cable is good. Is this some type of restriction with the TV that it can't output the sound?
I can't find a setting in the menu where I'd need to enable it. Can anybody help?

The optical out option is not displayed.
nothing to do with Midi Setup, the issue is Hardware level, when hdmi is plugged there is no way to get out signal from optical out. (no red light). Even with hdmi to dvi converter.
I just bought a none official MDP to DVI adapter, hoping it works.... just paid about 8$. But I think it's a shame to make users find own solutions and spend even more money, after spendig 1000€ in a Mac mini.......
That's not the way to do things, they made a big mistake with that, no way to get optical sound, im going to try this last trick, but even if it works im totally disappointed with apple. After more than two months Late 2012 mini come out, and no solution for this.... just an update we need!!

5200-903: Agere Mini-PCI will not find WLANs

Hi all,
I have recently installed the correct Toshiba Mini-PCI card (Agere drivers) onto my Satellite. Drivers installed fine (v. 7.62.0.390), but card refuses to find my access-point. Config-Free utility says: no connection with WLAN. I've checked cables more than twice :-), know what configured (IP, WEP etc.) ... After de-checking that WIN XP should configure WLAN, it did not work either (MSKB 871122).
Is this a know issue to anybody, or are there other compatible config-tools for the Mini-PCI?
Thanks for any help in advance!

Hello
I hope that WLAN antenna is connected properly. Check if the white cable is connected to the MAIN and a black to the AUX.

Toshiba HD-A1 & Component Out

Noticed that this will soon appear but needs a HDMI output.
Will a HDMI to component cable preserve the HD character is any one know?
thanks
david

unfortunately hdmi to dvi wont work unless the dvi on the tv has hdcp. Here is a good article to check out:
http://gear.ign.com/articles/691/691408p1.html
one part of the article that is out of date is as of now blu-ray has decided it will not down convert the analog signal, so users can get full 1920x1080 from component.

JDEVELOPER 9i 903 TURNED OUT BLACK, ONLY BUTTONS ON TOP THAT DID NOT WORK.

I am using Windows 2000. One day I opened JDeveloper 9i 903 it was totally gray, no Navigator, no files opened, and when I tried to opened some it did not react.
The problem occured from one day to another. Only thing that had happened(but that had happened before also) was that the local oc4j was killed (not nicely stopped) because it "hanged" because of an error in an web-application(but the web-application worked!)
I have now reinstalled it, and now it is not gray, but when opening a workspace I got the "thinking" cursor, and it does not react on anything.
I thought that the workspace/project was corrupt so I opened JDeveloper again and tried to make a new workspace, I can add a project to it, but I can not add JAVAfiles to the project, and it is inpossible to save the workspace, so then I can not close the Jdeveloper, and I have to kill it!
What can I do?

What can I do? What JDK are you running? Are you using the JDK that was packaged with JDeveloper? When you reinstalled it, did you delete the old version first?

Google says Toshiba need to update out android market app so we can get google movies. Jim!

Since I don't want to call Toshiba 's foreign country/non English speaking customer service,I thought this would be the next best thing. I spoke with a Google representative today and he was pretty helpful. He told me that the reason the Google movies app doesn't work is because it it up to Toshiba to release the new android market update to us. So can we please get this done?

It looks like Xoom users just got their new Market update last week.

Toshiba Satellite monitor blacks out...CRASHES..Randomly..help!!

This is happening a few times a day the monitor goes black Ive tried alt, ctrl, del...wont come on and comp wont shut off I have to hold down the on button aprox 10 sec to turn it off then turn it back on in
START WINDOWS NORMALLY mode. Ive done a full microsoft sec scan..no prob found..I did check ths comp for new solutions to prob..none..had Mr fix it check everything..nope..Used memory diagnostic tool..no prob..defragged, cleaned, checked for new updates **bleep** Ive done it all! I should just become a tech after all this can anybody help me????

Are you able to determine whether the machine has locked up or is it just the monitor does not come back on. I had a machine that when docked, when the monitor power timed out and turned off the monitor, it would not turn it back on. I realized that the OS was still up and running, so I could "keystroke" <Alt>+<F4>, restart the machine, which was the only way to get the monitor back on. Does this seem to occur at some set interval or period of inactivity. You might first try disabling all monitor and power saving setting and even disable any screen saver to see if this helps. If not, reboot the machine into "safe-mode" and see if you can reproduce the error. At least this would strongly suggest a software issue. If you cannot reproduce the error in "safe-mode", next try removing as much as you can from startup and then do a normal boot and see it if re-occurs.
