Can satellite L50-B-1 p 1 ODD broken - I switch to Windows 10?

Hello

I got a new Toshiba Satellite laptop last Christmas and in the month of August, I dropped it!

Basically, he fell from the arm of the couch when I used it. The only damage that I could detect was the CD player door opened and when I tried to close it is stuck fast centimeter about half to be fully closed. As far I could see everything worked perfectly, and I rarely use the cd player, so it was a problem, I could live with.

It was a couple of months. Since then, I've noticed a couple of small glitches when using the laptop - mainly File Explorer crashes out when I try to sort the photo folders. I had no chance to try to correct this problem with the help of internet forums - the problem could be a result of dropping the phone, but there seems to be a bug and others had met too. Then I started thinking that maybe a window refresh or upgrade to Windows 10 could help.

It's then that I found another problem that indicates more damage I had at first glance - the laptop is no longer recognized my drive optical cd. No icons anywhere and no sign even of all the drivers in Device Manager does not. I did a scan on the hard drive, but it does detect no error - I guess it could have been some if the HARD drive has been damaged by the fall.

Even if the laptop is still under warranty from the manufacturer, I'm guessing that damage from falling is not covered, and repairs etc would have to pay for. I am reluctant to pay for the repairs, a car that I don't need.

So I'm looking for a little advice really. The the bottom line is - I just really need to the CD player - I can re - install all my software from the HARD drive or the web and apart from that, I'm probably not need again.

So I can only do a refresh Windows 8.1, or even go directly to the upgrade of Windows 10 or either of those who will store up trouble in the future given the hardware not recognized?
Is it possible that one of these actions would actually recognize the optical CD drive and re-install again?
There is always the physical problem of a CD player door that is stuck. I don't need in this player, but must it be fixed before the update or upgrade?

My apologies if this seems very naïve, and I thank you all for your time and your help.
Kind regards
Sharon

Just checked on this post earlier today and does not understand how I posted it in the Forum series has. Please ignore here and I'll transfer Windows 8.1 forum, that I hope, is good.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Hello

    To be honest, I put t understand the decision to return to Win 8.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 23F Freeze After AMD Catalyst update, with 10 Windows

    Hello world
    I just updated with the latest AMD catalyst drivers downloaded from the internet, Windows 10.

    After the computer restarts, I noticed that it takes a long time to turn on.
    I have tryied to uninstall and reinstall these drivers, but with no result, the only result is that the pc at the moment does not at all.
    There is no way to reset the pc, because the windows BIOS is not shown.
    It only flashes the led 'NUM LOCK' and nothing else, there is no answer for every keypressed on the keyboard.

    How can I make it work again? If not, how can I save the data from my HARD drive?

    Thanks to advice.

    Looks like the BIOS corruption, were you by changing the BIOS settings when shooting problems? Did you uninstall the drivers of your firmware? You may need to flash to your laptop with a file of crysis recovery. And sometimes, there is no guarantee of operation. You can try a BIOS reset first, remove your dough and unplug the unit, hold down the power button for a minute without letting go of taken, then plug the device with the battery and turn it on. Is anything being displayed on the screen? You can repeat this process but hold the Fn + ESC key before you plug in the power cable and turn it on then still hold Fn + ESC. What are the results?

    If it does not, then you need to find the BIOS for the online of the file system and then your flash system, need a BIOS compatible with a version equal or superior to your.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 1DV Win8.1 - Windows Update error 0 x 80070057

    Hello

    Toshilba Satellite L50-B-1DV my son has not run successfully a Windows Update since last October - I only discovered this yesterday.

    When I had a look at the updates and pretty nearly any type of troubleshooting, I try, fails with the error message "0 x 80070057. I have rooted online but can not see any patches, obvious.

    We would prefer to solve ourselves, but that machine is that six months our next step is to take it back to John Lewis for repair - which would be a shame because he uses his laptop everyday.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Mark

    Hello

    You mentioned the error 0 x 80070057 during installation of the update.
    This error occur due to several reasons and that's why it s not easy to say why this happens exactly. But the most common cause can be the missconfigured or damaged registry system reserved partition.

    My recommendation for the workaround:
    Try to repair the system and the registry using CCLeaner. You can use this freeware software for cleaning the registry and to remove the garabage system.

    If this is not enough, try to repair the operating system using the own options of the system.
    The "automatic repair" option tries automatically to diagnose and resolve problems that may cause Windows 8 not at the beginning or have different behavior of evil.
    Auto repair starts automatically when Windows cannot start properly. If it finds problems, it will automatically try to fix it, but it can also be started manually.

    Access to the auto repair located on Windows 8 start screen. Now "Advanced" in the search box. When the search results display, click on the category of "settings".

    Now, click on the "advanced boot options" option and you will see the screen "General PC settings. Look for the option "Advanced startup". Click the restart and Windows 8 will restart your computer to directly access the advanced boot menu.

    Click the "Troubleshooting", then on the button 'Advanced Options '. Click on the option "automatic repair". Your computer will now reboot and Windows is preparing the auto repair. When it's done, you log on to an administrator account.

    Click on the "Continue" button to continue the auto repair. Automatic repair will now start and attempt to diagnose the problem with your computer.

    During the process of auto repair, your computer may restart. It is a normal behavior. Once completed the automatic repair process, he will let know you if she has been able to repair anything. If this isn't the case, you will see a prompt asking you if you want to stop or use other tools.

    If your computer is still unable to start, you need to click on the 'Advanced Options' button, then select "Troubleshooting" and finally "Advanced Options." For an auto repair failed, please try the built-in windows 'System restore' using the recovery media or the option "Reset".

  • Satellite L50 - B - 11 c - white screen problem

    Hello

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 11 c, PSKTCE yesterday and I installed Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit and all the drivers, but when I was installing AMD Graphics driver downloaded from the official site in the middle of the instalation a white screen appeared and it's like that since... Maybe you could help me to come back to life before I have to go back to the dealer ship it and so on.

    Best regards

    Stjepan? ideal

    It's really strange question. I checked the Toshiba download page and your machine is fully supported for Win7 64 bit.

    I hope that you can start your machine and enter the BIOS settings. Try to put once again to the default settings, then edit the Win7 installation settings and try again.

    I do not understand if you see this white screen all the time or what? I mean the moment when you press the power button / stop. If so, I fear, it could be hardware related issue m. just contact your dealer and ask for replacement.

  • How can I disable the battery on my Satellite L50 - B - 1 HM?

    Hi friends,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L50 - B - 1 HM. In this model, the battery may not be withdrawn. I would like to know if I can turn off the battery in order to preserve the life of it.

    Please help me with this question. It is important for me :)

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Marta

    Unfortunately, this option is not available and you can't do that. to be honest I understand, but imagine you have an important work on your machine and suddenly power is interrupted for any reason any (disabled battery). In this case, you could lose your work.

    In this case the battery is a kind of backup power.
    Another thing is that the batteries used on laptops of today are not the same that we had 15 years before.
    Don't think about it and have a fun with your machine. ;)

  • Can I upgrade the Module Wi - Fi in the Satellite L50 - B?

    I currently have the Toshiba Satellite L50 - B PSKTAA - 02G 001, and it works only on 2.4 GHz. I need this phone to work in the 5 GHz range.
    Can I upgrade the Wifi Module in this laptop to work on the 5 GHz.

    What will work the Wifi Modules replacement?

    According to the page specification for laptop, the wireless network adapter supports 802.11 standards (b/g/n).

    802 11 B and G supports 2.4 Ghz
    802.11 N supports the 2.4 Ghz and 5 GHz and 5 GHz would be supported only in the case of the Wlan module would support 802. 11's too. But this isn't the case here

    However, you want to know if you can replace the WLan module
    Well, first of all each material change would affect the validity of the guarantee.
    This means that you will lose the warranty if you would disassemble the laptop.

    But in general the WLan miniPCI module can be removed if a removable piece.
    But the question is: would the BIOS supports the new Wlan module?
    I m not quite sure

  • Satellite L50-B-177 - after upgrading the BIOS can not use the Polish symbols

    Hi, I'm newbie here. This is my first post, so sorry for the plain text.

    I have a problem with the laptop Satellite L50-B-177 1 month of my wife. After update BIOS (from Toshiba Service Station) to version 1.70 I have this problem: it is impossible to use symbols of Polish that comes with ALT + z, ALT + x, ALT + c. other - ALT + a - works normally.

    Problem is the operating system independent (even on the live session of Ubuntu). I understand that this is a specific problem for the location of the Poles, but causes cell useless for my wife (she is a teacher and write a lot of text). As much as I know BIOS downgrade is not available for customers, and the weeks of waiting for the new package of BIOS is out of the question.

    Any suggestions will be appreciated.

    Hello

    This problem occurred imadiately after updating the BIOS?

    Have you tried to set the BIOS settings by default once the update is complete?
    If this isn't it.

    Also, check if the Polish keyboard language was chosen correctly and as a default value.

    Comments are greatly appreciated.

  • Is guaranteed replacement HDD on Satellite L50 series

    Hello world
    I'm trying to discover, weather the HARD drive in the L50 series satellite s a CRU or whether to replace the HARD drive would be voiding the warranty.

    Here, I would just use the SSD to my old notebook instead of the common snaildrive.
    Could you give me some advice on this?
    Thank you very much.

    L50 - A as well as the Satellite L50 - B satellite contains not a single HARD drive with separate access Bay...

    This means that the entire bottom plastic cover must be removed to gain access to the HARD drive as memory modules... and this will void the warranty...

    You will find instruction how to remove the ODD on the L50 - B series

    It would be interesting to know if the problem will happen again if you use RAM in the first place again.

    Anyway, the key is that everything is working OK again.

    Questions:

    -We were told "it is compatible with windows 7", but what a salesman said, everything can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba site
    -While watching the Web from Toshiba site, a link says 'no system operating inside'. Link is corrupt
    -2 "official" companies are listed for the Bulgarian Web from Toshiba site are wrong: nobody told on the phone that they are not official support from Toshiba


    Technical questions:

    -J' tried to put several Windows 7 ISO on a USB key, using the official Microsoft tool and Rufus, but I got error that says "CD/DVD Driver is missing."
    -In some forums, it is said that test the spirit of the thing that a USB 2.0 can solve if USB 3.0 will fail. Each USB failed.

    Sales question:

    -Although the European commercial law says people have a little more time to restore a non-working product and be reimbursed, when we returned to the computer at the Technopolis shop a few hours after the purchase, employees told us ' problem is not hardware: we do not cancel the sale, we can take over the computer and give your money. " "Problem is software: see with Toshiba.
    The best we could get was the address of a computer service non-Toshiba to try to ask if they might be able to install Windows 7

    What can we do to install Windows 7 or get the computer returned and refunded?

    Tried Tnings at night:

    The drivers are on the website of Intel, but solution install require packages to download on the internet, not USB

    -> Last Debian version: error starting in the command line

    -> 14.04 installed, Ubuntu box checked during installation to use the Intel Wifi device
    Re: software WiFi cannot connect. Spent a few hours on forums to try to understand how to install the Intel USB drivers. Does not work.

    For people who want to buy this model, try to get a player of optical disk to install Windows, a good cable to Linux, update or be prepared to spend time and money for the service simply be able to use the computer.

    Oh, another thing: Technopolis company is not able to provide you with enough information before buying a product. I will not say that they rip off, but almost: especially to overseas buyers, buy refusal refund to anyone who is not able to have an argument that was screaming in Bulgarian with them.

    Problem, it's that Toshiba does not support Linux so you will not be able to find lots of information about Linux on Toshiba laptops.
