Win 7 Touchpad driver is not working on Satellite C855-21V

Hello everybody!
I have an Satellite C855-21V and it came with Windows 8. After one week of desaster Im sure I want never again a Windows 8 on my Computer!
So I installed Windows 7 and can find all the drivers somewhere in the internet.
The only thing what is not working is the touchpad.
Win 8 driver dont work and from other models the win 7 driver don't work.
Does anybody know what Brand is the touchpad or where to find a driver for win 7?
Thank you all for the help!
Best Regards
Frank

Hi
First of all the touchpad should work after Win 7 installation.
The Windows system contain an standard touchpad driver which should control the touchpad.
Of course the installation of additional Synaptics driver would provide more touchpad features (finger scrolling, etc) but also without the Synaptics driver the touchpad should work.
Anyway, I already mentioned the Synaptics driver and you can download this here:

PS: is the touchpad enabled? F5 Enables and disables the touchpad

Satellite L955-10K - Synaptics Touchpad Driver does not work properly

Hello, ASRR here.
I've been having a problem with my Synaptics touchpad driver since yesterday. I am very used to using the "gestures" to work with my touchpad and the gestures haven't worked properly (in fact at all) for a while. The two-finger scrolling, the three-finger touch and others (actually all of the gestures) do not work anymore.
The cursor moves, and works fine but the gestures don't.
When I go to the Mouse option in the Control Panel, a window pops up stating that the PC is "Unable to connect to the Synaptics Pointing Device Driver." and asks me whether I want to uninstall it.
I have tried uninstalling it, then going on the support page for Toshiba and downloading a driver that was suitable for my model, operating system, etc.
When I set up the driver I downloaded and restart the PC, the same window pops up when I try and go to the Mouse options in the Control Panel and the gestures do not work.
One interesting thing I noticed however, is the fact that when I roll back the driver (in the Hardware properties- then settings) the gestures work FINE. However, as it always asks you to restart the computer in order for the Rolling back of the driver to take place, when I do restart it, it sets the Microsoft touchpad driver from 2006; which does not include the gestures I need.
I have tried multiple times to fix it but I can't. I went to the UEFI firmware set up and tried resetting it to default but with no success.
I really do not know what to do. Could somebody PLEASE help?
My Toshiba Model is a Satellite L-955-10K with a 64bit processor and originally installed Windows 8 operating system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

To me it looks like the Synaptics touchpad driver could not be installed properly and after the new restart the touchpad driver isnt indicated by the Windows 8 system.
By the way: are you still using the Win 8? Didnt you upgrade the system to Win 8.1? Should do this since many different bugs have been solved in new Win 8.1 version.
Back to the Synaptics touchpad driver.
Usually the drivers should be downloaded from the Toshiba driver page but in some cases you could also use the drivers directly from manufacturer pages. In this case the touchpad driver has been released by Synaptics and it would be interesting to know how the touchpad driver from Synaptics driver page would act on your notebook

hi...
this is my 1st post here..so i really have no idea whether or not my problem has been discussed and I am not sure either whether I am having the same problem as the author
lately but when I am trying to burn aD DVD, I keep getting error message in the middle of the process.
The burning process was terminated immediately and I was asked to insert a new dvd to retry.
But then, I received the same error. The weird thing is occasionaly that I was able to complete the process.
I am pretty sure that the problem is not because of the dvd I used because as I said, sometimes I was a able to finish it.
Unfortunately, I cannot recall what is the exact error message..but i hope this details help.

DVD drive is not working on Satellite A200-1S5

After installing vista the dvd unit is not reading any disk until reboot. To be more specific, from the first moment I purchased the notebook I try to install ms works from disk but the unit was not reading.
I observed that if the disk was in the unit before the operating system started the unit was reading the disk. If I open the dvd unit and I close the unit (with the same disk inside) I have the message to insert a disk into drive and the message remained until I restart the operating system.
I have tried to recover the operating system with the DVD it came to but after install I had the same problem. I have tried with another operating system , windows XP , with all drivers installed (BIOS inclusive) and the problem still remains. The notebook works very fine except the dvd drive.
Can anyone help me please?

Hi,
one suggestion which could avoid to send the machine to a repair center would be to check the Toshiba Drivers Download site for a "firmware" upgrade for your drive. If no one is available or the firmware does not help to resolve the problem then you should definitively send the machine to an authorised service partner since it could really be a hardware failure.
If you need a link to find the nearest service partner in your country then you should click [HERE|http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_whitepaper.jsp?service=EU&WHITEPAPER_ID=0 000000871] and phone an ASP for a hardware chckup/repair which is nearest to you.

New battery is not working on Satellite C855-29N

I purchased a battery.
I've put it in to the laptop and the battery light is just flashing orange.
I tried removing the ac adaptor and battery and holding down the power butter for 30-40 seconds before putting the new battery back in again, plugging in the ac and pressing the power button but nothing is happening. It just carries on blinking orange.
I did a comparison against the batteries and both have the same numbers and codes.
I just don't understand why it won't work :(
Please help!!
+Message was edited: link has been removed+

Even if there was a right part number, I guess you purchased some kind of cheap china battery and probably the new part isnt good.
Therefore I have no other solution for you as to replace the battery once again and to purchase genuine battery for this Toshiba notebook.

CD/DVD drive does not work after Win 8 intsallation

from a month i've updated my windows into windows 8, everything is working great but the DVD-RW .
When i put empty cd and try to open it, it gives me error while opening saying:
"windows was unable to complete the format"
So is that a software or a hardware problem?!
waiting for the help !

Does this mean that your CD/DVD drive does not work anymore and is not recognized by system?
If yes, then I would recommend checking this Toshiba document which I found on the knowledge base portal webpage:
+Why does my CD/DVD Drive not work after upgrading to Windows 8?+

You will need to uninstall the Toshiba programs:

T430S - Windows 8 touchpad features do not work

I have downloaded and installed the latest UltraNav driver for my T430S. However, the "Edge Swipe" feature within the UltraNav driver does not work. I also noticed on other forums/boards that the "Edge Swipe" feature does not work.
This is supposed to be one of the coolest features of Windows 8 using a touchpad. Has anyone with a T430S been able to get the "Edge Swipe" feature to work?

Hi mrclooney,
Are you using the latest driver from the Synaptics, 16.2.21?

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.

External hard drive is not working on airport time capsule even after 7.7.2 firmware update.
I have the latest Airpor Time capsule 2gb. I specifically bought it so that I could have an external hardrive set up to wirelessly house my itunes library and movies. When i connect the drive, all i get is that the disk needs to be repaired.
the drive can works fine when connected to the macbook pro and I have run the verify and repair features in disk utility. I have also reset the airport timecapsule as well following these changes and still no change.
The 7.7.2 update says that it addressed the usb issue of not showing the drives but there are still problems as I cannot get it to appear.
Please help.
Thanks

How is the hard drive formatted?
Have you tried using a powered USB hub with the drive when it is connected to the Time Capsule?
(The USB port on the Time Capsule is borderline as far as power is concerned....you may need to use a powered hub.....even if the hard drive has its own power supply)
If the drive is formatted correctly....and....it has ample power, it will "show up" when you open AirPort Utility, click Edit, then click the Disks tab at the top of the next window.
In the example below, my Time Capsule drive is named "Backups" and another drive named "WD Drive" is connected to the USB port on the Time Capsule.
You should see the name of your Time Capsule drive (named "Data" unless you have changed the name) and the name of the USB drive if you perform the same check.
What do you see?

DVD drive not working on Satellite Pro U400-142

My DVD drive is not working. I insert a disk, can hear the drive working for some time but then nothing happens. I checked 'Device Manager' - under DVD/CD-ROM drives it shows: MAT****A DVD-RAM UJ862AS, but there is a black exclamation mark on a yellow circle next to it. I opened the 'Properties' dialogue box and under device status it says:
'Windows successfully loaded the device driver for this hardware but cannot find the hardware device. (Code 41)
I'd like to try to try to solve the problem by re-installing the driver. I have checked the Toshiba website for the driver, but cannot find it.
I'd be most grateful if someone could give me any ideas on how to sove this problem.
Thanks
P

What you can do is follow:
Remove optical disc drive from device manager and restart your notebook.
The drive should be recognized and installed properly. If the same happen again try please > http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ8101LA0000R01.htm

My mac book pro fell of my desk, everything seems fine, but the dvd drive is not working properly, any suggestions

My mac book fell of my desk yesterday. All seems well, but I noticed today that the dvd drive is not working properly, it seems to want to keep ejecting the disk even when the disk is out, and it won't accept dvd's any more. Any suggestions o fellow apple users?

Back up EVERYTHING, then take it in to have them assess for any latent damage. Wouldn't want a similar "delayed reaction" from the hard disk drive, would we?

Satellite P25-S520 - DVD drive is not working properly

Fix DVD Drive or buy external drive
My DVD drive is not working properly, in fact it may never have been working proper. Recently I tried to back up my PC to a DVD using Norton 360. Norton did not recognize the DVD was present. I then tried writing a text file to a DVD and was unsuccessful. Both DVD+R and DVD-R media were tried (Maxwell 16X).
I could have probably lived with this however, I got a copy of Dragon NaturallySpeaking version 10 on a CD and my Toshiba would not recognize it. I tried the CD in my neighbors laptop and it was recognized.
An attempt at updating the driver was also unsuccessful.
I was able to rip a music CD last night so that at least is working correctly.
Does anybody know how I can fix this? The important part is being able to load my new program.
Searching some forums I've found that other people have had problems with the Pioneer drive. If the drive cannot be fixed I am not adverse to buying an external DVD drive. Unfortunately where I live there are no brick-and-mortar stores which sell external drives and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of getting a drive online and discovering that it does not work with my Toshiba. Can anyone suggest an external USB drive which will read and write CDs and DVDs and which is certain to be compatible with my Toshiba?
Thank you for any help,

Any external USB CD/DVD drive will be compatible with your laptop.
However you wont be able to boot of CD's (Run Recovery for example) if you use an external drive.
So your best option would be to replace the internal drive with a Toshiba drive designed for the laptop. Call an ASP and ask for a quotation.

hi erabbath,
Welcome to the Forums.
If you have the Intel Centrino N2230 Wireless + Bluetooth adapter, can you try to:
1. Navigate to the Control Panel (large icon view) > Devices and Printers and try to pair a bluetooth device (i.e. Bluetooth Headset) and observe if it gets detected under the device list.
2. If the Bluetooth Headset is listed but it's not working try toright click on it > choose Properties. On the bluetooth properties Window, go to the Services Tab and check all the appropriate bluetooth services.

Let me know your findings.

Backing up to new external hard drive is not working

I just purchased a new 2TB FreeAgent external hard drive. I hooked it up to use as a time machine backup and in the preferences of Time Machine it said that the drive needed to be formatted. I then went to Disk Utility and erased the drive using the format "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and gave it a name. Once that was done I attempted to back up again through time machine but it started the "calculating changes..." at 23% and stayed there all night. I do not know if I need to reformat it differently or why it is not working.... any suggestions?

Did you cancel the backup it was attempting to do, before disconnecting it? If not, did you eject it first?
Do you mean it ran backups? Or just that it was recognized? Those are very different.
The mac pro has 2 internal hard drives. One for the OS and the other for a tm backup.
Be sure that second drive is now excluded from TM Backups via TM Preferences > Options. If TM is trying to back up the internal disk's TM backups onto the new external, that might explain why it's confused (I know I am!)
I attempted to hook up this external drive to a second external tm back up
Do you mean you've "daisy chained" it, to yet another disk also containing TM backups?
and noted the different disk in the tm preferences.
Do the two disks have different names, and does TM Preferences show the new name? If not, the preferences file may be corrupt. In that case, do a "full reset" per #A4 in the Troubleshooting Tip.
Do you have any idea why this drive would not work on my mac pro but does work on my imac?
I'm not entirely sure that's true. Please clarify exactly what you're doing; what's connected where and how, and what's being backed-up.
On the Pro, you have 2 internals and how many externals? Which ones are being backed-up (ie, not on the exclusion list in TM Preferences > Options)?
