Toshiba power management and BIOS-Satelite M30X

Hi!
I've just installed XP PRO with SP2. I tried to install Toshiba Power Management tool. At the end of installation blue screen appeared and system rebooted. I tried bios upgrade (windows flash)and just after flash procedure started system hanged.
Icouldn't reboot even pressing poweroff button for several sec's. What is the problem? If possible reply also for private email [email protected]

Hi,
had you read the "Driver Update Information for Windows XP with Service Pack 2" which is available at http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com in the driver download section!
For BIOS update I can only say, if the notebook doesn't start anymore after BIOS update, you have to contact a Toshiba Service Partner for diagnostics! When you see the red Toshiba logo at boot up you can try it again.
At http://www.toshiba-tro.de/gcc/biosinfo/index.html you will find some further infomations about BIOS update procedures!
Bye

  • Satellite A135-SP4088: Need XP drivers for power management and Hotkey utility

    Hello
    I couldn't find drivers for the toshiba A135-SP4088, we bought 3 of them for the office and it's almost impossible to use with vista, so we go to XP SP2, and manage to get almost all of the drivers from other models, but i cannot find 2 utilities that work with this machine, they are:
    Toshiba Power Management (the bulb in the task bar, remember?) :D
    Hotkey Utility (so I can change Screen brightness, and go to hibernation (Fn+F4)
    I have al the rest working, quite nicely but these two are a real problem, none of the ones I tested worked, some even crash the XP and have to go back to a previous restore point.
    also, I didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required?, which ones show I look for? since the model doesn't exist in csd.toshiba.com site.
    Now, How one of the greatest notebooks manufacturers in the world can build such a nice computer without making drivers for the most widely used operating system?, can anyone explain me this because i sincerely don't understand it.
    thanks a lot!.
    Indkt.

    Hi
    The Satellite A135-SP4088 seems to be designed for the US market so you should use the Toshiba US driver page for the driver download!!!!
    But why you need the Toshiba power saver for XP? The XP supports an own power options and also the hibernation option. This option must be enabled in the control panel -> power options -> hibernate tab
    > didn't install any ACPI drivers, are they required
    Toshiba page does not provide any special ACPI drivers. The OS uses own Microsoft drivers and the installation of any 3rd applications is not necessary!!!!

  • Power Manager and Access Connections crash, neither help nor solution from Lenovo!?!

    Hello
    I've already posted here on the forum several weeks ago about the obvious problem that Lenovo has with the latest version of the Power Manager and the Access Connections which both crash either on startup or while tryibg to open it.
    So far there has been neither an update, nor a solution nor an official statement from Lenovo about that problem that consists rightnow for over two month!
    When searching the forum I see the same all over again: Unanswered threads, solutions that don't solve anything at all and so on...
    And just if someone here comes up with comments like:
    "work's here" or "just rollback to the old version", what is the point of writing software that doesn't work?? And why not giving ANY SUPPORT AT ALL???!!!
     I really would at least like to see an official statement saying "we work on it". After buying one of the most expensive notebooks on the market (and in my opinion still one of the best) hat would be the least one could expect form a "award wining" company like Lenovo...

    Hello, I am a Help Desk Consultant at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and currently, we've had many problems with access connections, 4965 agn wireless card, and its drivers.
    Symptoms:
    1) Wireless card is detected my windows device manager
    2) Wireless card is NOT detected by access connections, intel wireless utilities/tests/etc
    Other related information:
    1)  Events with ID 7036 + source: NETw#v## (the # stand for numbers, I can't quiet remember which ones but the one after the v is a 5
    2) Rollback driver is NEVER an abailable option
    3) Every failure case with same symptoms came in starting mid September
    4) If you select "show hidden devices" in device manager, there is a huge number of devices, most of which seem to be repeats
    After many hours of debugging and fustrated complaints, I have determined that it could be one of many problems:
    1) Teredo tunnelling: Apparently, atheros/intel/access connections won't find the wireless card if teredo has been enabled or something
    2) Power management: A default setting is "let windows turn the wireless off it there's not enough power" in wireless properties>configure>power management
    3) Driver update combination conflict: between a update on 9/21 and present time, there's something horribly gone wrong
    If anyone has a definitie solution to this, please post. 

  • Disabling "CPU Power Management" through BIOS -- any bad consequences?

    Ok, so my new T440S is emitting a most annoying high-pitched noise. After doing some research, I come to the conclusion that it is the so called CPU Whine.
    According to the diagnostics provided on this page:
    http://forums.lenovo.com/t5/T400-T500-and-newer-T-series/T510-T410-W510-ThinkPad-high-pitched-whine/...
    Disabling CPU Power Management may silence the noise - as a diagnotic measure, not a solution (as the post asks the user to contact Lenovo support for assistance).
    So I tried that and indeed it silences the annoying whine. I have already contacted Lenovo and they said they will get back to me after Christmas. Meanwhille, I am still using this computer, and I am keeping the setting for CPU Power Management Disabled, until Lenovo solves the noise problem.
    I was wondering if this (keeping the CPU Power Management disabled) may have some bad consequences - like melting some parts down or something. Would anyone know?
    Thanks!

    Hi yinslaptop!
    I have good news. I have the same problem. My T440s is completely quiet at 43 °C CPU so I don't need any fans to spin. However there is a slight buzz coming out of the middle of the laptop. And it isn't coming from the speakers nor the fan. I didn't bother to open it up yet and check what is causing that noise, but I guess it's related to some coil whine or voltage leakage. As in your case, when I turn off the CPU Power Management option in the BIOS, the sound dissapears completely.
    HOWEVER I conicidentally put one SD Card Adapter into the Card Slot and the sound completely dissapeared. I would say give it a try. Sadly the sound comes back in 20 seconds at my machine, but I am using a Sd card adapter with no card in there. Maybe this will change when I put one in. Have to test, because I don't have one lying around.
    Lenovo has done a great job. You could to better at this price range, especially when the pc market is shrinking .. it's survival of the fittest. You will see what I mean when you won't get foothold in US and Europe anymore and only will supply Asia.
    You won't probably answer this thread and when you do "awww yes, we are deeply sorry, some level buzz is completely normal" CTRL+V bull**bleep**.
    Don't get me wrong. I really like the new T440s as my first ThinkPad, but my high order of quality wasn't meet. However I still bought it, because I needed one laptop with really good battery life, good screen and small footprint. Well sorry for the rant.

  • Is there any way to override the Toshiba Power Management with the Windows Power Management???

    Have an older P25-S607 and would prefer more control over the power management.....that I can get with Windows....any suggestions?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thanks for the obvious reminder   That was a duh moment.  It's easy to forget the simple sometimes when you get involved in troubleshooting when it's not something you do on a daily basis that's for sure.  The Toshiba controls have been fine for the life of the Toshiba laptops we have had, but I always felt they were a little limited on options IMHO. 
    In this instance I needed to utilize some of the added XP options as this laptop actually had the hinge 'sprung' a little and didn't "shut down" or hibernate when you closed the lid.....changed hubby's "normal procedure" for utilizing this "shop laptop" so he didn't overheat and fry the hard drive which is what I believe happened originally to the system that had been working fine until the hard drive was fried.  Changed it out, reloaded everything for him only to have the system need to be reformatted again within a week as windows took over.  As I was investigating causes I realized the malfunction.  Not sure of the how or why, but now have automated shut down backups if he forgets to shut down when he shuts the lid and walks away.   So far so good

  • G510s/wind​ows 8.1 sleep problems (power management options & BIOS do not correct it)

    hi there,
    suddenly seemingly for no reason, the sleep function of my machine no longer works properly.  when the machine goes to sleep, it either shuts itself off or goes into unwakable hibernation, in which case i must shut  the machine off improperly and crash my open files.  the fan also stays on non-stop when it is in unwakable hibernation. 
    i have changed the power management options numerous times based on suggestions i have read about or been told via lenovo support, and in each case, the sleep function works properly the next 5 times or so, but then the same old problem arises again.
    in addition, i now receive pop-up boxes every time i turn the machine on that indicate that the start menu has been updated, and it asks me if i want to install skype, etc.  this is now a daily occurrance, and i wonder if it is related to the sleep problems, or if this is a new unrelated glitch.
    please tell me how to fix the machine, keeping in mind that i have already changed the power settings numerous times to no avail.  in addition, my BIOS is and always has been up to date, as this is a brand new machine.
    thanks very much in advance,
    tamara

  • W520 freeze caused by "CPU power managment in BIOS"

    I have been running my Thinkpad W520 seemlessly for the past 4 years.
    It started to freeze last monday on win7. Freezes increased rapidly and then occured at logon.
    I was able to run win7 in safe mode.
    Unable to reinstall win7 or even ubuntu.
    Unplugged all peripheral without any succes, then disabled everything in the BIOS (1.41) and it worked again.
    It looks like the "CPU power management"  causes the freezes. with it disabled, everything is running back.

  • Windows 7 RTM x64 Power Manager and switchable graphics not working

    Installed Windows 7 RTM x64 on my T400. After windows update and installing Lenovo's drivers, everything is accounted for. ATI graphics works fine, and I can see the Intel graphics on the shortcut menu. I just cannot manually switch to the built-in graphics, nor did I see the Power Manager. What do I need to do? I have installed the drivers for the power management, even though on the list of driver on lenovo's webpage it says it's only for SL models.
    Help would be appreciated.
    Specs:
    T400

    Have you installed the Power manager http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BE​TA.html#powm ?
    And after that, make sure you have installed the right driver (the one for switchable graphics): http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BE​TA.html#m8xswitch
    Hope that helps.
    I also have Windows 7 Professional x64 on my T400 and everything works fine (i only uses programs and driver from here: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/WIN7-BE​TA.html

  • Xfce4-power-manager and laptop-mode-tools + backlight problems.

    Cross posted from here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=127992
    I don't know which forum it belongs to, so maybe a mod can close the one in the wrong forum.
    Out of curiosity, do these two tools conflict with each other? There seems to be some features that do the same thing, ie harddrive spin down time, but I'm not sure if these two will try to kill each other trying to configure the same power settings. If they do conflict, how could I go about disabling the conflicting parts (on either)? laptop-mode-tools claims it needs acpid "for ACPI support", however, acpid seems to be grabbing the standby event and throwing the laptop in standby despite the standby button bound to do nothing in xfce-power-manager. If I take out acpid, does that mean laptop-mode will no longer detect acpi events such as connecting/disconnecting AC power and thus not change modes when its plugged in?
    Another problem I've had after installing xfce4-power-manager is that when I use the brightness hotkeys the backlight gets stuck and starts flashing, locking up the system until I force shutdown. However, I can use the brightness plugin without trouble at all. What's causing the power manager to screw up setting the brightness since it clearly seems to work otherwise.

    It is easier to close this one and move the other thread over here. Just continue there.
    BTW better use the Report button when you want to have a thread of yours moved to another forum. That way it is guaranteed a mod will see this in time. And you never need to cross post.

  • ThinkVantage Access Connections, Power Manager, and Toolbox all crash on startup

  • Power Manager and other operating systems

    I'm looking to run Linux on my T410.  I currently have my power manager in windows set to charger my battery to a max of 70% and start when it is below 60%.  I did this because I'm usually plugged in (If I'm not the laptop is asleep or I'm not using it for too long so the loss of battery time isn't that important) and I would like to preserve as much battery life as I can.  My question is, how are these settings saved, and if I were using Ubuntu, how could I keep my battery charging like this.  I didn't see any settings in Ubuntu to only have my battery charge to 70%, so I don't know what to do.

    The settings will be written to a chip in the battery while "Shut down" the computer (but not "Restart"). So the values should be kept while using Linux. But i don't know the behavior of the charging values at shutting down Linux.

  • Power Management and Function Keys on Satellite A210-1BD running Windows XP

    Hi,
    I have deleted Vista and installed the german Windows XP Professional from MSDN AA on my Toshiba Satellite A210-1BD.
    It looks fine, all drivers are installed but I can not access the "TOSHIBA Power Saver": An error message appears that says that I do not have the rights to use it.
    I am logged in as a user with all Administrator rights, so I do not understand why I can not access it.
    Can anyone say where I can change the Rights for this?
    Besides that the FN-Key-Functions are not working. I have tried to install the hotkey utility but I get the error message that "This software utility does not support this system". But the Download-Site said it is for Windows XP.

    I understand you would like your computer to start at 8 AM automatically. Take a look at the following article: How to Turn ON your PC automatically. As it suggests, it may take a little searching, or, depending on your computer model, it might not have the setting to accomplish this task. Let me know if this helps. Best of luck to you.

  • Latest versions of Power Manager and Access Connections got borked.

     I have a T60p running a fully patched XP SP2, model 2007CS3, and I work for IBM. I'm posting this because our internal IT support team has no clue how to fix this.
    I updated Power Manager to 1.52 when it had initially released, and since then it always fails with  an error in pwmuictl.dll, however the taskbar indicator is working properly. So I have to rely on Windows' built in power management only.
    Couple of days back I updated the ethernet drivers  to 9.12.41.1001 as in the latest package listed on the site.
    After that Access Connections 5.2 stopped working- the AcSvc service would fail on startup and subsequent restarts.
    I rolled back the ethernet driver to the previous version- uninstalled the device and reinstalled specifying the older drivers- to no avail.
    After a lot of struggle I downgraded it to version 4.23 that is used internally- and now my LEAP based wifi does not work. If I create a new connection profile- Access Connections craps out after filling in wifi security parameters. I reset my LEAP password  and tried again- it still does not connect.
    So effectively, updating the ethernet drivers turned out to be a big mistake. I hope someone can help, if you need additional information/screenshots let me know.

    Hello Martin,
    you have AC 5.02 instead 4.52 installed, like your screenshot shows.
    Some user have been experienced problems with this version and the version of new Powermanager.
    So if your system runs satisfactionally then there is no need to update.
    I would roll back and see if your program became operationally again.
    Kind regards
