Windows 8.1 upgrade issues on Satellite P870 - PSPLFA

Hi there,
For better or worse over the weekend I have downloaded windows 8.1 onto a toshiba laptop (p870 PSPLFA model) that was running windows 8. Video card is NVIDIA GeForce GT 630M 2GB with Optimus + Intel HD Graphics 4000
http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p870/psplfa-019001/specifications
couple of issues:
(a) I am having a few problems getting windows 8.1 to work properly on this laptop and can't get/find new drivers from the toshiba website to sort out the video card properly.
Any ideas of how or when I can download video drivers that are suitable for this laptop?
Not overly keen on uninstalling and rolling back to windows 8 now that I have gone this far...
I have a call in yesterday with microsoft yesterday that seems to be going nowhere to fix a couple of other things following this upgrade.
(b) On the windows 8.1 machine my internet connection when running IE11
now seems a bit flaky and suspect this is a internet explorer 11/windows 8.1 issue (other laptops on my wireless network running windows 7 and XP are working fine and not dropping out as well as can access all the info I can't on the win 8.1 machine) which seems to be a bit of a common issues looking at some other forums and
(c) I can't download or open files from google docs (screen just freezes most of the way through the download) on the upgraded windows 8.1 machine.
Any help appreciated,
Ken

Hi
Your notebook belongs to the PSPLFA series. This series was released in Australian
The same notebook series PSPLFE is available in Europe.
On the Toshiba EU driver page you will find all Win 8.1 update drivers
http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=EU
_Importnat:_ the Win 8.1 drivers have to be installed in the right order!
Check the installation instruction which is available in the driver list too and follow exact this order!

Satellite P870 *PSPLFA-01C001) display quality is dull

Hi all,
Love my new laptop but the screen /display quality is really dull.
Games aren't jagged they just aren't crisp.
The webcam video quality is shocking. It's probably a setting that can fix this, if so can you point me in the right direction to fix this please as it's annoying me
Thanks,

Is there a "Toshiba" explanation?

Hi mate
First of all it seems that its not clear for you that this is a user to user forum
You can start a discussion with common Toshiba notebook users
Back to your posting;
To be honest its not clear for me what you are talking about or what the problem is
You try to upgrade the Vista to Win 7?
Well, please note that there are some installed applications which could not be supported by Win 7!
Maybe you should take a look here:

Satellite P870 - WiFi issues after Win 8.1 upgrade

Internet through wireless is hopeless.
Maybe 3 in 10 pages will load correctly or not at all, mostly not at all.
Other wireless devices in the house are fine, as is using the Ethernet .
Checked the drivers through the device manager, says they are up to date.
However using the toshiba service station it lists 12 updates including one for the Realtek wireless driver.
The date of release definitely after the current installed version.
Trying to update through the service centre it completes and then comes up with an error message, something like process ended by the user.
Of course I never ended anything.
Any ideas/thoughts? Just uninstall 8.1?
Though I would rather not.

Hi
Did you follow the Win 8.1 installation instruction?
The Win 8.1 drivers should be installed in the right order!
I found this info on the Toshiba EU driver page;
1 Intel Wireless Display -> Uninstall

Toshiba Satellite P870 upgraded to Win 8.1 does not boot

I have a Toshiba Satellite P870 with Win 8 preinstalled. Soon after upgrade to Win 8.1 and basically successful removal of “watermark error” (secure boot activated) the machine stopped booting completely: after pressing the power button ventilator sound
is heard with periodically changing loudness as well as clicking sound from the speakers. The screen stays black. Attempts to start the PC through pressing F2 or zero buttons did not produce any result. Neither did I succeed with recovery discs I created before:
the system simply does not boot from the disk. It looks like I tried all options offered by Microsoft and Toshiba. I would be happy to roll back to factory settings.
Could someone give me hint what to do next?

Hi,
For the issue, let us know how to remove the “watermark error".
Meanwhile, I would like to confirm if you could access the BIOS.
I suggest you update the BIOS version to test it.
If you want to repair the startup issue, you should use windows 8.1 recovery discs or installation discs.
Meanwhile, if you cannot access the BIOS, it may be caused by hardware, I suggest you contact the Toshiba manufacturer for further help.

Win 8.1 activation issues on Satellite Pro C850-1EQ after upgrade

Hello everybody!
I face a problem after upgrading my TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C850-1EQ preinstalled windows version 8 to 8.1.
After installation windows demands the product key in order to activate windows 8.1, but I haven't this activation key.
I called Microsoft (Greece) but couldn't help me and told me to call Toshiba (Greece).
The man from Toshiba's technical support told me to call back to Microsoft!
Also, he told me to check here (https://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/windows8_1-upgrade-stepbystep/) before I start the process. Step No. 7 says "Remember your Windows password. You may need to enter it after updating."
Now I returned back to Win 8.
Is there a way to learn my activation key before the installation of w8.1?
I tried to find that using various tools but no one finded the key.
Plus, after the installation of 8.1, a message says:
+Error code: 0xC004C003+
+The activation server determined the specified product key has been blocked+
I trust Toshiba and I want to use the latest version of w8.1.
I would be greatful if someone technician from Toshiba could help me with this issue.
John (from Greece)

Hi
Yes, the preinstalled *gets automatically activated* when I restore or refresh my pc and I do not need the activation key.
When I upgrade to windows 8.1 it asks me the activation key in order to activate the new version.
Before the upgrade, yes, I updated win 8 and the drivers too. I always keep my pc updated.
What do you mean:
+Try this: create the Toshiba Recovery DVDs (or USB flash memory stick). Use the Recovery medium in order to recover the notebook back to factory settings. Update the Windows 8 to latest state and then perform the upgrade to Win 8.1+
Windows 8 is in a hidden particion in my PC, so I don't need to create recovery disk.
Or do you mean anything alse?
Thank you for your reply

Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

Probook 470 windows 8.1 upgrade to windows 10, any driver compatible issue?

Hi,
First I assume there is a bluetooth module inside your computer.
If so please test to reinstall its driver. To get a driver for the device, you need to know the brand and model of your computer or your motherboard.
Generally computer manufacturers will provide all drivers for their computers on their website. Search with your computer model on manufacturer's website could help you get a proper driver. If failed, search your motherboard from its manufacturer instead
will also help.
After that, uninstall your bluetooth module from Device Manager and install the driver you just downloaded, reboot to see the result.

Yoga 11s Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 Upgrade - Power Management Compatibility Issue

I recently upgraded to Windows 8.1 on my Yoga 8.1 device. I followed the application removal instructions before upgrading, then reinstalled the correct drivers for 8.1. Everything works well except for the fact that I get a Windows warning that there is a Power Management Compatibility Issue with the Lenovo ACPI-Compliant Virtual Power Controller. Any idea how to fix this? All hardware in the Device Manager are working properly.
Thanks in advance for your help. I have BIOS 7xxx.
Regards,
Nate
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I have this exact same issue, but with the 8.x BIOS.
My 11S also has issues going to sleep automatically when plugged in or on battery power, as well as staying asleep more than one second when on battery power, regardless of whether I initiate sleep manually via the menu or by closing the lid/pressing power button. I figured they could be related to this, but I'm pretty sure I had the same issues before the Windows 8.1 upgrade.

Satellite P870 - Touchpad scrolling issues

I have a P870 (PSPLFA-019001)
I have been having trouble with the touchpad. If I move the touchpad anywhere the screen scrolls vertically (not just on the right scroll bar) and the mouse is stationary. When I touch the trackpad underneath the clickable buttons it somehow disables scrolling so I can move the mouse.
I have gone to control panel mouse options and:
* can not take off vertical scrolling [Pic|http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd152/_Rebeccabec_/MouseProperties_zps7d8e2841.png|Pic][Pic|http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd152/_Rebeccabec_/MouseProperties_zps7d8e2841.png|Pic Vertical Scrolling]
* have disabled scrolling and most other trackpad gestures. [Pic|http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd152/_Rebeccabec_/MouseProperties2_zps40a5d713.png|Disabled Options]
* I have tried F5 to disable/enable the mouse. no change
I don't know what to do now. Please Help! I also uploaded a (bad) video to show you what's happening. It was hard to show one handed. [Video link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MEikPtlgcQ|Touchpad]

The main thing is that problem is solved. Thanks for the feedback.

Satellite P870: Game The Hunter won't launch - No appropriate display modes

Hi there,
I have a Satellite P870 that I just just upgraded to Windows 8.1 and now a game that I play called theHunter won't launch.
When I run the launcher it comes up with an error saying 'No Appropriate Display Modes'.
It was working fine on Windows 8.
The support at theHunter hasn't been very helpful and despite trying a number of different things I can't seem to solve this issue. I've also contacted Microsoft but am waiting for a call back as they were very busy!
Any suggestions as to what might be causing this problem and how to solve it?
Thanks.

I dont play this game and cannot say what the problem can be. To be honest such message is not clear to me. I use Win8.1 too but until now I didnt see it on my notebook.
Try to ask this Question on hunter forum http://forum.thehunter.com/index.php
Maybe someone there will be able to help you.

Satellite P870-026 Win 8.1 - no mirror screen to TV using Intel WiDi

I have followed the Windows procedures to mirror my Satellite P870-026 screen to a new Samsun TV with mirroring capability.
The process is under the Charms menu and then to select Devices, Project, Add a Wireless Display. The first few times I tried, it found the TV but it usually came up with the message "No devices found".
If it did find the TV it didn't project the laptop's screen and the connection would drop out quickly. Now, it never finds the TV.
My Galaxy S3 phone connects and mirrors its screen very quickly and is a stable connection, so the TV is working fine. The TV is the current model Samsung UA60H7000AW.
As I understand the issue might stem from the graphics drivers, I've updated the Intel HD Graphics 4000 drivers but that did nothing.
I downloaded "Intel(R) WiDi Update Tool.exe" but it won't run. An error message says "Failed to launch due to network connectivity issue". I have no idea what his means as I never have trouble with WiFi.
I did find one suggestion on the internet, but relating to a different computer, and was to delete and reinstall the graphics drivers but it also warned of the need to be very careful.
Am I even going down the right path looking as the graphics drivers?
Any suggestions please.
Hans

Thanks for the Toshiba notice. Working through the Resolution section, my laptop doesn't have "Intel Wireless Display" in its programs listing so there is noting to delete. The method to then connect a wireless display is the procedure I've been following but results in "No Devices Found".
According to:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-au/windows-8/project-wireless-screen-miracast
my laptop does have Miracast as I do get the Add Device option so it should work. I seem to be back to square 1.

Display Driver Issues on Satellite L655-S5150 with Win10

I upgraded my Toshiba satellite (L655-S5150) to Windows 10 last week. Upgrade appeared successfully initially however shortly after the Win10 interface loads the computer will shut itself off. After exploring a number of possibilities it turns out the computer runs fine in safe mode or in low resolution mode selected from the mainteanance menu. So I feel quite certain like other issues I have seen with Win10 that have similarities to this one the issue is with the display driver. I tries updating the driver through device manager but it said I had the latest. Tried the Toshiba support pages and seem to be nothing new there for the "Intel HD Graphics" display driver. So seems at the moment I am stuck at low res mode if I want to have a functioning computer. Any ideas if there might be an updated driver out there, or can I change to something a little more generic that at least might allow me to boot in to normal mode and stay running?

Yes, have tried "update drivers" option and Windows Update option. No luck yet. Also searched manually for an updated driver on the Toshiba site and Intel site (Intel HD Graphics display adapter). I wish I could just load a generic display driver but every time I remove the Intel display driver and reboot it comes back after boot. Really a fix to the problem would be nice by anyone..... Microsoft, Toshiba, Intel, anyone......

Hi Manu,
Welcome to Lenovo Community!
I’m sorry to hear that the LAN and Wireless is not working as expected after updating to Windows 8.1, normally to avoid compatibility issue all the drivers should be updated when the computer is in Windows 8. Hence, I suggest you to perform “System Restore” and the follow the update procedure. Below is the link to perform “System Restore” then a link with exact Windows 8.1 upgrade procedure.

Do post us back if the issue still persists.

My laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade,

my laser jet 100 color MFP M175nw is not working after windows 8.1 upgrade, driver on your website fails to setup at 83 % with an error message

Welcome to the HP Forums MillaMagia,
I see by your post that the USB isn't being recognized.
I can help you with this issue.
Are you using the same USB cable? (known good USB cable)
You want to use the normal USB slot 2.0 cable and not the latest USB 3.0.
USB 3.0 are supposed to be backwards compatible.
Try another USB port on the Laptop, some of the USB ports are more powered then others.
I have provided a document to see if the printer is partially recognized in the device manager, which is causing the printer not to be recognized again. (the uninstall from the CD should have removed the entry and the printer from the registry)
Leave the printer turned on and the USB cable connected directly to the computer and the printer's power cord directly into a wall outlet.
How do I get into Windows Device Manager?
Here is a document for Identifying problems in Windows Device Manager.
Check to see if there are any hardware driver conflicts, you might see a ! mark or a red x beside a device with a conflict or unknown device, look under universal serial bus controllers, look for USB printing support or mass storage device, delete the entry by right clicking and select uninstall, OK.
Let me know how it was listed. (screen shots welcome)
If this is a Laptop then check the power management settings.
Access the device manager. Windows 8-How do I access the Device Manager.
Select universal serial bus controllers from the list, for each USB root hub, right click and left click on properties, for power management remove the check mark for "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power". It allows the computer to limit or turn off power for this device.
Disconnect the USB, run the full uninstall and reinstall the printer software again.
If you need further assistance, let me know.
Have a nice day!
Thank You.
