BIOS password? (Satellite A50-111)

• Blue screen more often (Satellite A50-111)

  Hello. My laptop (satellite A50-111) stops with a blue screen. Sometimes when that I start the computer, sometimes, when I'm trying to play a video file, sometimes... I can't understand why... The error messages are inconsistent. They are different all the time (for example: SPECIAL_POOL_DETECTED_MEMORY_CORRUPTION or PFN_LIST_CORRUPT or PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGE_AREA or something with IRQ LESS THAN EQUAL etc.).

  I suspect that the problem is the graphics card or RAM memory. It is because the file ialmdnt5.dll and ialmdev5.dll were mentioned in the error screens).

  I ran a test of memory from a CD bootable (memtest-86) and everything seems to be fine with the memory. However, the memory is not the original one. I did a brief day when I bought the laptop (the memory is TMC - 2 x 512 MB)

  Any ideas what the problem might be. The problem is that I have these blue screens more often (I've had them several times before but now I have at least one per day)

  Any ideas/suggestions?

  Thank you.

  More info: I ran the test memory Microsoft (in addition to above mentioned Memtest-86). Is it possible to have the RAM ok, but everything just does not work WITH my Toshiba laptop? In other words, is something special on the modules of memory supplied with the laptop (which I have not because I have improved the memory immediately when I bought the laptop). Thank you.

  Another relevant info: I used the program "auditor" and this explains why I've been blue screens more often. I turn off, but I have still a few blue screens (not as often as before). The newest one: «...» "Stop 0x0000008E... win32k.sys..." "However, I rarely have the same error message

• L50D-B - reset of the Bios password satellite

  Model: Satellite L50D-B-17J
  Serial number: YE031145C

  So, one of my cousins has managed to put a BIOS password on his cell phone and then forgot the password. Now, I was invited to see if I can fix it.

  First of all: this notebook, while relatively new, is essentially fixed or trash, she already has a new. I already opened it upward, so the warranty has technically been canceled already. All this means it does not matter too much if he breaks in the process of fixing. They say that they have contacted support and not really gotten an idea clear of what to actually do, and I'd rather not have to worry about support (the Support System site is not even working for me right now).
  
  Long story short: Is it possible to reset the BIOS password on this model? I understand that it is possible on many laptops to do by removing the CMOS battery. Now, this model does not have a (I opened it and found no one). Instead, I understand that the newer models may have a circuit that can be shorted to possibly reset the BIOS? Is this correct, and if so, what is it?

  Once more, the laptop is practically acquired anyway, so if possible, I'd take the chance to do it myself, if it's at all possible.

  Well, the circuits in question would be JCMOS1 riders normally located under the RAM. Bridge them while the power is turned off the first. If it does not then on the screen by removing the battery and drive, press and hold power for 10-15 seconds, then hold down Fn + ESC, holding down it to the bottom of the plug in the power lead and switch on the device. When the fan starts release Fn + ESC. If you see a post screen then bridge JCMOS1 jumper then and that should reset the BIOS. Unplug the unit and hold down the power button for 1 minute and then plug it back again. It should start up with asking to specify a password. If you could not to post, then refer to the manual to see what it flashes the procedure. The buttons used for flashing procedure will be the same to make this post. Only fill the JCMOS1 jumper while the machine is running if you see the post screen, no other time. An easy way to bridge them would be to use a paperclip and bend it on and use the ends of it.

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

• Incorrect BIOS password - Satellite P100-387

  Under windows I put the password user and supervisor. When I try to turn on the laptop once again trying to get the password but BIOS is incorrect.

  Are you sure that you have not mixed letters or signs to 100%?
  Unfortunately, if the BIOS password is for you, it of not possible to remove it.
  Only the service partner can remove the BIOS password.

  I see no other solution ask the technician for the removal of the password...

  PS: Anyone here in the forum suggested that something like that could happen if the old BIOS is installed on the laptop.
  So to avoid this problem after the password remove the update of the BIOS to version 2.40 or higher is necessary and the update of the Toshiba Utility version 1.8.14.2 or higher is important.

• Touchpad problem - Satellite A50-111

  Hello. Last week, I bought my laptop and here I am with a problem of inportant.

  The touchpad does not work correctly. When I take the finger above the cursor jumps up and down even when the finger is motionless. (It's like the mouse cursor oscillates on its expected position). It is very difficult to click on anything whatsoever. I use an external USB mouse that works very well.

  I don't think that it is a driver/software problem. I use a linux live CD (Knoppix 3.7) distribution to check if the problem persists under linux. He does.

  Is there someone else with the same problem here? Don't you think that, given the information above, it is a hardware problem or would it be the drivers?

  Hello

  In my view, it cannot be driver issue, as all drivers are put to the test. It is very difficult to say what is a problem.

  You can check all the mouse settings including the advanced feature settings. Y at - there no any improvements you can contact the after-sales Service of Toshiba partner. Those are responsible for all material tests.

  If you need info on the Service partner you can find it on

  This bug only affected one or two Satellite models for many years, there are hundreds of models Satellite now with completely different hardware. The only way to remove the password on the S750 is to send the laptop to a Toshiba Service Center and to pay for the work.
