Troubles connecting Satellite L350-203 to TV

Please help. I've tried multiple ways to get my laptop connected to my older Panasonic telly, and it's just not happening.
I first tried a VGA to Scart cable. I changed all of the display settings as low as they would go (16bit, 800x600, 60 refresh rate).
I only got a buzzing off my telly, with diagonal white line movement. The frequency would change with the movement of the mouse, or change of page.
I've now got a VGA to RGB cable, and all I'm getting is a black screen with the same buzzing.
Does anybody have any ideas to get either of those cables to work?
I'd really like to watch my AVI films on a proper screen.
Many Thanks
Mel

Hi
The notebook supports only a VGA port.
VGA port is designed to connect the computer monitors to the notebook.
The old TVs support an resolution of 576px (720 x 576).
I assume the resolution is still too low even you have changed the notebooks resolution to 800x600.
Usually you would need an s-video port to get an video signal on old tube TVs. But this notebook supports only VGA port.

Notebook manufacturers dont offer support for third part hardware or software and if there is some problem please contact Navigon support.
Can you please tell us if you have problem with certain USB port in general?
Can you use this USB port to connect different external devices? The same problem again?

Satellite L350 and OpenGL 1.4

I have seen similar posts in the past, but none of them could help me with my issue.
Background, I have a Satellite L350 with Windows Vista and try to run a game that needs OpenGL 1.4. I already installed the current display drivers from this site but still could not get it to run. The next step was downloading the Intel display drivers, which are more recent, but I am having trouble installing those as apparently the manufacturer has not verified those.
Is there something I am missing? Looking at the hardware requirements of that game
(OS: Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 / Processor: Dual Core 1.6 GHz or better / Memory: 1GB (XP), 2GB (Vista), 2GB (Windows 7) / Hard Disk Space: 140 MB Free Space / Video Card: OpenGL 1.4 or higher)
The L350 should be able to handle that, right? Is there a way to test which version of OpenGL can run?

Aha.....almost...I am almost there. I have the drivers at hand and unzipped, yet I can not get device manager to use the newer drivers. Because anytime I point Vista to the new drivers it tells me that the most current drivers are already installed, even though those are 7.xxxx instead of the newer 15.xxxx. Do I have to uninstall the old drivers first (uninstalling those sounds kind of scary though)? I seem to miss the option to actually select this driver as windows just searches through the folder and doesn't do anything.
Maybe I have missed how to get to the advanced installation procedure. How do I actually get there?
(Thanks for the help btw)

Satellite L350 - Access code for the router

Dear Sirs
I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 running Windows 7 Ultimate. For the first 5 months it remembered the wireless access code for the router. I then installed a BT Home Hub which I subsequently removed and from then on the Windows 7 machine will no longer remember the password.
I have spent hours on the phone with Microsoft to no avail. Can anyone help?

The problem is very simple but the solution is not.
As I said earlier the computer remebered the wirless access code for around 5 months.
I then installed a BT home hub (free from BT) and it worked fine and then I uninstalled it and reverted back to my D-Link router.
From this point on every time I turn on the computer I have to enter the wireless access code to connect to the internet and until I turn off the computer all works fine.
Microsoft have not been able to locate the problem and neither have BT hence this last attempt to try and find the solution.
Thanks for your reply and I look forward to some help.

Re: Satellite L350-170 - WiFi stops and starts

Hello,
I have the Toshiba Satellite L350-170 and it's great. I am running Vista 32-bit and I have had it from Christmas '08.
For a while now, the WiFi will just stop (if I use webcam on msn or something) as if it's just overloaded, then I have to wait a few mins before it comes back on again!
Is there a driver to keep the internet connected? On my taskbar, it says I'm always connected, and when I check on ConfigFree (when i can't use internet, but it's saying I *am* connected.
Can this be solved?
Hope you can help!
Regards,
James K

Hi James,
Maybe this problem is caused by the router. You should check the logfile of it. Is the router always connected interruptions?
In this case a firmware update would be advisable and let the ISP check your Internet connection.
Furthermore you can try updating the WLAN driver. The latest version can be downloaded on the Toshiba website.

Re: Satellite L350: Where to store the drivers mentioned by Tempro down loading drivers

Can someone please explain where i have to save driver downloads that tempro keeps telling me are needed for my notebook?
When i click save it always comes up with documents but surely this cannot be right.
Please please help me?
My system is windows home premium and Satellite L350 notebook

Im not using the Tempro software but is there no option for patch changing?
However, if the Tempro saves the files to a definite folder then you could check this folder and could move the drivers to the other area this should not be a big problem
PS: To be honest I dont use this tool because its not necessary for me I mean I dont change any drivers if the notebook is running trouble free I read here many threads and met guys who updated the drivers for non apparent reason and then the problems begun.
I follow this advice; never change a running system ;)

Satellite L350-170 display has gone funny pictures

Hi
i have a Satellite L350-170 but the display has gone funny pictures have started to look like negatives and colours are not the same also and there is like ghost screens underneath my current screen.
I have tried unistalling drivers and reinstalling but its just the same
Any help with this would be appreciated thank you

Hi
Test the notebook in connection with external monitor.
Check if the same funny pictures would be visible on external monitor.
I think if the same will appear on second monitor, then the issue might be related to graphic card.
In such case the motherboard with the GPU chip should be replaced.

Satellite L350-277 - Which cards are compatible?

Nowhere in the documentation does it tell you which 3 cards are compatible. It is the same size as a PCMCIA slot but that does not work.
Anyone know which 3 cards can be used?

Thank for the reply.
The 3in1 comes from the PC World website :-
Which says "As well as thoughtful connectivity coming in the form of 3 USB ports, a 3-in-1 card reader and built-in WiFi technology for wireless internet connection, the Toshiba Satellite L350-277 also comes with a built-in VGA webcam for "face-to face chatting."
I had never heard of an ExpressCard before so I looked on e-Bay. It looks like it has a 54 slot, not sure about the 34. Not sure how that would work.
Anyway - thanks.

Satellite L350 - Can't switch off wireless LAN

The wireless switch and the Fn-F8 key combo don't appear to be switching off the wireless adapter (REALTEK RTL8187B) in my Satellite L350 (Win 7 Home Premium x32).
ConfigFree shows the correct switch status i.e. OFF when it's off and ON when it's on. And the Fn+F8 key toggles between On and Off and recognises when the switch is off or on. But no matter whether they are on or off, the wireless connection icon in the notification area always show that "connections are available" and I can always establish a wireless connection. After toggling the Fn+F8 key a few times the established connection is dropped by conections are still shown as available.
I've updated the BIOS and REALTEK device driver to the latest versions, but the wireless adapter still appears to be always on/enabled unless I disable it via the control panel or the ConfigFree icon that's in the notification area.
Any suggestions about what the problem might be and is there a fix?
Also, what is supposed to happen and what notifications are you supposed to get when you switch the wirelss off - either via the switch or Fn+F8? I only recently bought the L350 to replace my ageing Toshiba Satellite A30 so am new to wireless networking and Windows 7.
TIA

I have a Satellite L350 purchased pre loaded with Win7 Home Premium (32) and RealTek RTL8187B adapter which also has the fault described above.
Namely: -
1) The front panel RF/Wireless switch lights the LED in the "On" position and turns it off in the "Off" position. The wireless connection is not affected, it stays ON.
2) The use of the FN+F8 keys gives an error message to turn the switch "On" if it is set to "Off", then once it is "On" correctly displays the setting. With the switch set to "On" the keys will turn off the LED on the front panel. The actual connection is unaffected by these actions and stays connected at all times unless disconnected via the notification area icon.
I initially thought this was a hardware fault and returned it to the retailers as the switch was quite sloppy. It has been returned and shows the same problem as before even though the switch has been replaced.
Therefore, having read the contents of this board it would seem there is a software issue here.
How do we get this resolved or what update am I missing?
The PC was bought at the end of Dec.

Recovery disks not working for Satellite L350

I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 which I bought some years ago
Originally it was a vista home premium laptop and I opted for the Toshiba windows 7 upgrade and its been pretty much trouble free .
However recently something went a bit weird and things just were not working well (it would not always log you out and never seemed to shutdown correctly) and various other applications did not run correctly.
After a few uninstalls ,reinstalls, scans and Microsoft patches did nothing I decided to take the plunge and use the recovery disk.
I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7 and one again after.
I still have the windows 7 upgrade dvds so I can apply them after if I had to start back on vista again.
The only other big change has been a RAM upgrade to 4gb - I still have the original RAM if I need it but before all this there were no hardware issues reported and chkdsk was fine also.
So to me it was the o/s that was the problem.
I have now tried all the recovery disks and they all have the same problem reporting that imagex cannot uncompress the second file image as it is corrupt at block 90 I dont have this actual message to hand
but can update later.
I cant see that Im doing anything wrong as all i do is put the dvd in the drive and restart the laptop with F12 to boot off the recovery DVD and follow the on screen commands.
Have you any reports of such of this previously or am I doing something stupid?
Thanks

Thats very strange that al recovery discs show the same error message. As far as I know when you start recovery image installation the HDD will be formatted, new partitions created, recovery image copied on second HDD partition and as last step is recovery image installation.
>I had bought one from Toshiba when I got the machine originally and had made one myself before the upgrade to windows 7...
Have you tested both of them in the past?
Generally speaking all you do is right. In my opinion the problem can be recovery image itself or maybe HDD has some failure on certain sectors.
If you can obtain second HDD somewhere exchange it, set BIOS to default settings and test recovery installation again.

My Satellite L350 keeps switching off and then start up again.

The fan is free from dust. I reinstalled Windows
There is a new Battery for 1 year
If the laptop is off, the battery can be charged. The laptop is operating normally on battery.
From the moment that the AC adapter is connected, the computer turns off.
When I use the computer without a battery but with the AC adapter, the computer shuts down. Test with another AC adapter, the computer turns off.
Could it be that the cable between the motherboard and the DC jack is causing the problem whether this is unlikely ?
Anyone have an idea to help me with this problem ?

Dr. Lamp,
Shut down is not always at the same point. In the beginning this happened from time to time and than more frequently. If i start up the computer now with the AC adapter connected than he doesn't start up completely. He shuts down and reboot or blocked.
To answer your question, I am able to enter the BIOS settings.
I bought the Yannec battery here:
I summarize the tests that I did together:
Loading battery when computer is off = yes
Running applications only with battery = yes
With AC adapter connected = computer shut down and reboot
Without battery, only with AC adapter connected = shut down and reboot
With other AC adapter = shut down and reboot
If it is a problem of the motherboard is it not possible that it can be repaired rather than replaced by a new one?
Many thanks for your patience

Satellite L350-20G powers down during boot up

My Satellite L350-20G starts to boot up and after 10 seconds powers off.
Also it refuses to charge.
We have exchanged fully charged battery packs with an identical model and same problem.

I have the same problem with my Toshiba L series laptop
I check the output DC voltage of the battery, it reads 10.8 Volts, 4000mAh Model No. PA35346-1BA5
The DC output voltage of the AC/DC adapter, reads 19 volts at 3,95 amperes Model ADP-75SB BB
i think the adapter output voltage is not compatible with voltage requirement of battery of the laptop.
Please check your battery and ac/dc adapter ratings which affects the battery life, maybe there is an over voltage limit switch installed on the motherboard which keeps the unit turning off whenever the ac/dc adapter is connected due to higher voltage rating.
I think the allowable output voltage requirement of the AC/DC adapter should only be up to 12Volts DC to minimize the heat produced during charging period.

Im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!

I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck.

Trouble connecting macbook to N600

We just connected a E2500-NP using a macbook. All of our other devices (iphone, itouches, nexus, PC) connect and run at regular speed. My macbook (the one used to install the router) connects but loads web pages incredibly slowly. We reinstalled the old router to see if there was a problem with the macbook. It loads webpages at normal speed with old router. The nexus and itouches have trouble connecting with old router. The macbook is connected to this website with no problem but if I try to do a search on something else it loads incredibly slowly.
Please help!!

How did you connect the macbook computer? Is it through hardwired or wireless connection? You can adjust the router’s mtu – by using this link: http://kb.linksys.com/Linksys/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=fbf8e8564632422eaa8ea80bf9dcba64_386.xml&pid=80&re... – if the concern is regarding the router’s hardwired connection. You can also use this link: http://www.metageek.net/products/inssider/ to help determine the best channel to be set on the router and to improve the router’s wireless performance.

Trouble Connecting MacBook to Netgear WGT624

Hello, I just got a MacBook and am having trouble connecting to my netgear WGT624 wireless router. We've had the router for some time with a PC connected via ethernet. This is the first time trying to connect wirelessly.
I click on System Preferences.
Then Network.
Then Connect.
Under the Network drop down menu, I have two Network choices available...our router's name, and another name, probably a nearby wireless router.
When I choose our router, I get the pinwheel thingy spinning around, and then a message: "There was an error joining the AirPort network "router name here."
When I click on the other nearby network name, I get connected, and the signal strength is 4 out of 15.
What do I need to do to connect to my home's wireless router?

No need to re-install software. There should be a reset button or hole somewhere on the router. Either press the button or use a paper clip inside the hole for about 10 seconds. This should reset your router to all the default settings.
From there, once you log onto your router's setup screen, you will need to put in your regular settings (username, password, security settings, etc.). If you use security, your neighbor should not be able to access to your wireless connection.
Good Luck.
