Wifi adapter of Satellite M30 does not work anymore

During these last couple of days the wifi adapter in my Satellite M30 have had a way of dying once a day.
The first time I still had a light and I could see when I turned it on and off. When that didn't help to get it going again, I decided to reboot and the wifi died completely.
Later, when I did a scan for hardware changes in the Device Manager, the adapter popped back up in the list of devices again and worked just fine.
At least up until today. A couple of hours ago it died again for no obvious reason and now I simply cannot get it back at all.
I might mention that yesterday the light didn't come back on after I did that scan for hardware changes and got it to work again.
When I tried to update the drivers it keep telling me that the drivers are already up to date and now I don't know what to do.
Is this a hardware problem and what can I do about it?
This laptop was 4 years and well used just a few days ago btw, but it never been taken apart and I've never had to send it in for service.
I would appreciate any help I can get.

Hi there,
thats definetly a hardware problem and it can only be resolved by exchanging the wireless LAN card. You can check if it works under linux (just download some live-CD e.g. knoppix, and let the OS recognise the wifi card - if it wont recognise then its definetly broken).
You could also contact an Authorized Service Provider and ask them for a hardware checkup but I guess they will charge you for that.
You have the choice... :)

My Satellite M30 does not start anymore

Hello,
I've a M30 laptop and it was a good laptop, but one day suddenly it crushed. When I boot up the laptop nothing happens, the Power Led switch on, and the battery and Power conection too.
Not any menssage is displayed on the screen, the screen stay black, iluminated but black, no BIOS, nothing at all. By the other side I can't hear tha habitual noise, no HDD, no FUN.
I've dissambled it, and look for any unwired conection, or any stupid problem, but I'can't find any.
Does anybody know what it's happening?
Juanma

Hi
I dont understand why you have disassembled this notebook if you have no experience with such fault diagnostic.
Believe me; usually its not possible to provide an exactly diagnostic. For me it looks like a motherboard fault, possibly also the CPU malfunction but who knows!
Without a notebook check its not easy to say whats wrong. So I think you will have to contact the ASP in your country to for a help.
Best regards and greetings

Satellite A100 does not work anymore

Hi,
I bought a broken laptop and when I boot it up, I get very little:
all i get is 2 blue lights and a couple of red ones above the keyboars for around 1 tenth of a second.
I was thinking of resetting the bios.
I disassembled it and could not feel any heat going to processor but the board must work as the wireless card switch lights up along with start key but no fans or nothing else.
please help

First of all, I wonder why you bought a broken machine when youre not able to fix it.
If youre not a technician then sell the machine and buy a working one because no one here would exactly could tell you what to do or how to fix it.
The only posts would be like: "send the machine to an service partner" or "change the mainboard" or "sell the machine" , "throw the machine into trash"
I would assume that the mainboard is defective and needs to be replaced. I already replaced some mainboards on toshibas and its not that easy like some people think. You need some experience and often its not only the mainboard which is faulty, sometimes there is more then you assume.
I hope you get it fixed. Good luck.

Re: TouchPad on Satellite L30 does not work anymore

Yesterday when I connected my Notebook L30 to a projector , the windows hanged and after that the Pointing Device on the Touch Pad isnt working, I tried to install Synaptics also but no gain from it.
Please Help me !

Hi there,
did you already tried the key combination FN-F9?? This key combination reactivates the touchpad in case of deactivation.
Otherwise, backup all you important data and recover your machine since it would be the last solution to make the touchpad working again.

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
Graziee

Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

Hello khalidbadir,
I would be concerned too if my touchscreen was not responding on my iPhone. I recommend following the steps in this article to address an unresponsive touchscreen:

Encore CS6 does not start / freezes - Message: Encore does not work anymore (Win 8.1)

Hello,
Encore CS6 does not work. When I launch the Programm a message appears "Encore does not work anymore" and I can only choose close or debug.
How can I solve this error?
By the way it is really early to stop the development of an DVD authoring software!
Thanks
Michael

Did EncoreCS6 work at one time, or is this a new install and it has never worked? If it worked before... what changed?
With Windows, an update will OFTEN/SOMETIMES cause a problem with the graphics adapter driver
What is your exact brand/model graphics adapter (ATI or nVidia or ???)
What is your exact graphics adapter driver version?
Have you gone to the vendor web site to check for a newer driver?
For Windows, do NOT rely on Windows Update to have current driver information
-you need to go direct to the vendor web site and check updates for yourself

Hi,
I am using a Nvidia 4200M adapter in my Laptop, Driver 266.96, Direct X 11
In my desktop I am using an ATI XFX 6950, latest revision drivers (I am not at home right now so I cant get that info).
The issue I did describe above, but it was a long explanation.
In some flash games the game files load initially and get as far as the "click to start" button. Then the flash area usually goes either all white or all black (usually depending on the falsh game default background color) and then it stays that color. Cant see anything after hitting start (usually most games have an intro video or animation before the game starts, but I cant see any of it.
For the very few games that do start, the flash game or application does not seem to work correctly in that when the rare game starts, it wont save any game files or save files to the pc and so if I exit the game (navigate away to another page or close browser) and then later come back, even though I click the option to save games (and ensure that the flash application slider shows it can save files and lots of space) it does not save and I have to start from the beginning all the time.
More explanation I gave above.

Equium L20-197 does not work anymore

May I call on you all for a bit of help on this one.
I have been given an Equium L20-197 which does not work anymore. Not having the chance to ever see it running I'm not sure on a couple of things.
It's totally dead, with the power supply connected there is no sign of life, no power light, nothing.
I know there are many things it could be.
Question is should it power up while there is no battery connected, just the power supply plugged in?
If it will then at least I can move past a battery problem, yes the battery may still be faulty but it would mean that the motherboard is probably us. If it must have a battery fitted, even a flat one then it could be the battery.
Just trying to work through it step by step.
Any help much appreciated.

Hi mate,
hehe, looks like a technician is here. :) Its a really good idea to making it step by step because every good techie acts like you. So I do, and it helped me many times.
Regarding your question: the battery must not be connected to start the machine, so if the machine wont start up even just with AC connected then you can be sure that a really serious hardware problem is present.
In such case, you can either remove everything (HDD, CDROM,etc) and try it again. You can also exchange the AC-adapter and the RAM. So, if the machine still wont start up, then contact an ASP (Authorized Service Partner) and ask for a hardware checkup/repair. That would be the last resort.
Heres a link to find the nearest ASP in your country:

TV does not work anymore on Qosmio G10

Good morning,
TV does not work anymore, may be due to an update. It has been working OK before.
When selecting TV option 'TV direct ' with MCE menu, I get the following error message: "necessary files for video display are not installed or do not work properly, restart MCE or the computer". Restarting MCE and / or G10 does not solve the problem.
-Intervideo WinDVD creator is installed.
-TV PCI tuner seems to work properly (as per hardware status)
Which files can be missing? What needs to be done?
Any help, suggestions, well appreciated.
Thank you to anyone answering this message.

Hello Luciano
Like you know on this way it is not easy to give you precise answer because we dont know what did you done exactly with your Qosmio.
Please try to use System restore tool at first and roll back the operating system to earlier time. Maybe this will help you and the MCE configuration will be as before.
Try it at first.

Go to the website of the manufacturer of your printer and check to see if they have released an updated driver for your particular model.

While updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

while updating my ipad to new software through itunes it got stuck and does not work anymore - it just displays the screen with symbols of itunes and the cable to connect to it - help - what should i do?

Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides screen is ok. Is there a way around it? :(

I have recently upgraded from my iphone 5 to a new phone. My iphone 5 's touch screen does not work anymore. I need to backup my phone, but I can't do it on itunes without my password. Everything besides the screen is completely fine-the screen will not recognize my finger anymore. I am not trying to fix the phone, but I need to have my contacts. The pictures have already synced, but I need my password to do a full backup. Unfortunately, I can't type in my password. Is there any way around it? If I take my phone to the apple store, will they be able to help me? I am not willing to replace the screen just to do this, however, so that is out of the question.

Someone else may have a workaround, but, as far as I know, if you cannot interact with the screen on the iPhone, there is no way to unlock it so you can get to your contacts.
Were you saving them to iCloud by chance? If so, you can restore them to your new phone.

After update Mac OS 10.9.1 Trim Enabler does not work anymore!

After updating from Mac OS 10.9.0 to 10.9.1 the program Trim Enabler does not work anymore and my 4 SSDs from Samsung and Kingston are no longer supported.
What can I do?
Should I scrap my SSDs?
Why does Apple do such things?
Will Apple that I switch to Windows? There Trim works with all SSDs and BluRay will not boycott!

Apple does not support TRIM for SSDs that were not factory
installed and TRIM Enabler is a hack to get around this. Any
hack is always subject to being disabled, or worse, with any
system update whether it is OSX or Windows.
