Portégé Laptops

[victor_imyf]

I can't seem to find drivers for the following two:

PCI Simple Communication Controller

Toshiba F3507g Broadband Mobile Device

I also have an unknown device.

Also I two features that don't work anymore: Bluetooth and FingerPrint. I can live without the FingerPrint, but I need my Bluetooth for work.

Using Windows 8 x64

[Later edit]

Got working:

• 3G driver (Toshiba Europe), and therefore the GPS
• Bluetooth (Toshiba Europe)
• Screen Buttons, except the Toshiba Assist and Presentation button. Both opens this: Buttons, Which I find more useful then the old functions. Installed Value Added Package, I think from here: Go to download section. The one from europe site didn't worked.
• FingerPrint utility. Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts and you have an option in the left side of the window for fingerprints. Installed the drivers and programs, works like a charm. Or search on google for TrueSuite
• For the ctrl+al+arrow to flip the screen, I used iRotate (google it).

Still no solution for the HDD protection utlity, yet.

Victor, this is the site for U.S. machines. Yours is a European model. You can find drivers, support and a Forum for your machine HERE.

Sorry didn't notice it. But anyway, I know about that website. The only problem is that it has no drivers for windows 8. Only for 7. And even if some do work on win8, not all of them do. Like the FingerPrint Utility.

Which M750 do you have?

The model looks something like Portégé M750-112 and the part number like PPM75E-02000JG3.

[victor_imyf]

it's M750-10G

Part number: PPM75E-00S00JG3

Sorry for the late reply.

[edit] I did manage to install a Finger Print software (was easier than I thought), but I'm still missing a lot of devices I had on 7 and XP. I can live withouth most of them, I can live with no 3G utility, but one thing that annoys me the most is that I can't set up my screen buttons. I have a small joystick and 4 buttons and none of them do what they are suppose to do.

Portégé M750-10G (PPM75E-00S00JG3)

Downloads are here.

Unfortunately, Toshiba does not support that model for upgrade to Windows 8. So you're on your own. Good luck!

Well thanks anyway.

If anyone else has the same problems as me here's what I managed to get working again:

• 3G driver (Toshiba Europe), and therefor the GPS
• Bluetooth (Toshiba Europe)
• Screen Buttons, except the Toshiba Assist and Presentation button. Both opens this: Buttons, Which I find more useful then the old functions. Installed Value Added Package, I think from here: Go to download section. The one from europe site didn't worked.
• FingerPrint utility. Control Panel -> User Accounts and Family Safety -> User Accounts and you have an option in the left side of the window for fingerprints. Installed the drivers and programs, works like a charm. Or search on google for TrueSuite

Also if you want the radar thingy just install Config Free (Toshiba Europe)

Still no solution for:

• HDD protection, it installs the driver and the program, but all options are grayed out.
• Rotating the screen with Alt+Arrow

All the drivers up there are in stalled on Windows 8 x64. From what I saw there are more drivers (from Windows 7) for the x82 (32bit) version. I will install the 32bit version this weekend and see if I can get more things working on it. I'll update my first post when that is done.

[L.E] forgot to add a link: Toshiba Portege Europe Forum

You might learn more in the proper forum. You'll also find folks who appreciate what you've learned.
