Equium M50-164 - cannot connect to Windows XP
Hello
Would appreciate a lot if someone could help it, here is what happened. I changed some settings of router and the computer restarted, but instead of normal boot to XP, a black screen appears with Login: curries and password: empty, am I right in guessing it is some sort of system in the House of curries used on the laptop to connect?
It's very strange, never seen before. I bought the laptop from currys and tried the regular password of admin, any other ideas?
Hello Oliver
Very stupid situation, but I really don't think described issue has something to do with Toshiba as a manufacturer of the laptop. There must be a problem with the operating system settings.
Currys unknown for me and maybe you should make a call and clarify this situation. Either way, in my opinion, you should do some operating system clean installation using supplied recovery DVDs. There is nothing that can be linked to curries after doing this.
You will plant again settings and you can set your own password to protect the operating system preinstalled.

Equium M50 164: cannot install the Ethernet controller driver
My laptop was recently formatted and everything is back to normal except the DSL; Device Manager displays a yellow exclamation mark on Ethernet controller.
I tried to find a suitable and closest driver, I had was Equium M series PSM59 (5.621.628.2004). I have downloaded and run the installation, but the yellow exclamation point is always there - even if I uninstall the driver and restart the installation. I get the message "new hardware found" and the installation wizard appears. But when I try to refer to the specific location for the driver, it says driver not found.
What is the correct driver for the machine? If not, what is it and what is the address of the site? And I do it the right way?
Thank you

Hello!
Satellite A50-164 belongs to the series of PSM57E, not the PSM59 series that you have posted.
In order to check the Toshiba website for drivers and the controller again missing Ethernet could be the card LAN or WLAN card.
Make sure you have both installed.Good bye

Im having trouble setting up my wireless network - I get a constant message telling me wireless is not lit - for the life of me I can't find out how to do this.

Have you looked in the user manual? You'll find where is the wireless switch.

Equium M50-164 - Touchpad problem if an AC/DC adapter is connected
Hello
Can anyone help? My Toshiba Equium M50-164 has intermittent problems with the touchpad. Sometimes its fine, sometimes the cursor will jump around the screen, out of control, then comes oneself, the problem goes away when I remove the power cable and returns when it is reconnected.
Other times it is fine with the power cable plugged, it suggests maybe the power supply causing a problem for me, but I was hoping that someone with more experience could give me some advice.
Thanks in advance.
lbansalHello
You are using an original from Toshiba AC adapter or to a 3rd party manufacturing?
It's not easy to say what the reason is, it could be a problem of AC adapter or motherboard.
I think the best way is to contact you nearest authorized service provider. Go to them with the laptop and the AC adapter and ask a technician for help. They can check the laptop and the material.Good luck! :)

Equium M50-164: Question about timer use & battery fan
Hello!!
Just put your hands on my laptop equium m50-164 today and I wanted to clarify a few issues
first of all,
I flashed my bios with the latest version and after restarting, fan kicks at full power and has not extinguished until I put the laptop in standby mode, this seemed to fix the problem but fan seems suddenly in much more than compared to before, fortunately the fan isn't the one 100% , but more like 15-20% every 30 seconds or one minute then goes into silent mode the fan does not reach 100%, unless I have do a reboot :),.
I know the fan will accelerate faster based on the use of the processor (thermal) etc. but is this normal? I talked to support and they wanted me to have an immediate replacement, but I said that I would wait a few days to see if she could calm :)
and finally looking at the electricity meter and other software tools there seems to be no calibration of the battery, with previous laptops, I noticed that numeric calculations are made based on the use of the battery and time [i.e. a timer] but with this laptop that I kind find a timer - I would of thought tha any computer laptop has this facility today!
any advice would help
see you soon

Hi ephid0r
If the Toshiba service makes an instant replacement if you should take it.
Maybe there's something wrong with the hardware or software.But as Feliks has suggested, you must first reinstall the Toshiba Power Manager.
This utility is responsible for the CPU and the cooling module activations.PS: The time of battery life indication occurs if you move the cursor over the icon of standby power.

Equium M50-164: mouse jumping when only on the main power
Hi guys
I have an equium M50-164...
around the age of 19 monthsThe touch pad slow corners and departures from flickering pointer and jump when the mainstream and it works normally when it's on battery...
Can you help me with this?I tried to remove the battery, once again, fixing of reinstalling the driver etc...
Pls someone help me with this?
Hi guy,
I'm afraid that this problem was caused by a malfunction of hardware and reinstalling all the drivers or software won't help m.
If all goes well there s nothing serious to a case value it might be something wrong with the motherboard and the repair would be costly.But don t worry ;) in my opinion there of only one keyboard or touchpad fault.
So the replacement should not be very expensive
Before you continue with the new measures such as purchase, replacement parts, I would recommend contacting the service provider allowed for the provisional diagnosis.Good luck

Memory slot Equium M50-164 sites
Hello
I have the Equium M50-164 and I was wondering if the locations are intended to upgrade memory. I found one that at the bottom of the laptop and I can't find the location of the other.
Anyone knows where the other?
Thank you.Hello
The laptop support certainly two memory slots and the two slots are extensible.
From my own experience it possible s the second slot is hidden under the first memory module. If you could see the other location if the first module of memory would be removed.I hope that this is the case on the M50 model
Welcome them

Equium M50-164 - is WinDVD Creator 2 installed?
Recently bought an Equium M50-164 and just move to copy a dvd (educational course content). The provided user manual says for models with burner Super Multi (as the 164 I think?) then WinDVD Creator 2 is installed, but my machine has only WinDVD 5 (a player NOT a recorder). 2 creator should be pre-installed, and if so how do I get it?
Tom

Hello
WinDVD Creator2 Platinum is preinstalled on your device, and it is a part of the image of the installations. Every time when you install the device with the recovery media WinDVD Creator2 will be there.

Recommended memory for Equium M50-164 does not fit
I have the Equium M50-164 in its original configuration.
I wanted to add more memory, so, on the recommendation of the Toshiba Product Support page, I bought the Toshiba PA3411S-2M1G memory (from eBuyer) module.
http://UK.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/JSP/individualOptions.do?service=UK&OPTION_ID=118626&t oshibaShop = true & SelCategorie = 4700
Trying to mount the module of memory in my machine, I found that it is not! 'Separator' plastic between the two contacts on the laptop computer does not match the position of the notch between the two sets of pins on the memory module.
Tosh recommends part number: PA3411S - 2M1G 1024 MB (1 GB) memory PC2-4300 (533 MHz) DDR2
The memory that's happened has PA3411S-2M1G 1024 MB (1 GB) PC2-4200 (533 MHz) DDR2 memory on the box.
Someone in the forums said that PC2700 PA3313U-2M1G is the part number.
The manual supplied with the M50 means memory PC2700 .
Anyone know the number, or an alternative appropriate by another manufacturer?
I am very annoyed, as hotline support suggested, I phone their sales department! So they can sell me more wrong memory strips? Now look forward how the glove of returns with eBuyer...
See you soon,.

Equium M50 - 164 TouchPad does not work
Hi all
Can anyone help? I have an equium M50-164, I for about 18 months (maybe longer!) And now plays the touchpad up. I know this may sound strange, but it seems to work if I use it on my lap, but when I put it on the table it stops working? I think I remember having this before and I defraged and it fixed it but not this time.
Please help it's driving me crazy!
Thank you all
teeoffchris
P.S, it works with an external mouse in the way
Check that it is clean and there are no bits on the side of it.
If it works on your knees, then there must be something in it or something like that. -
Equium M50-164 crashes when I put the battery
I have an Equium M50-164.
I got it over a year now without any problems. I turned on this morning and it crashed (just a white, black screen) even when I tried to open it in safe mode. I have taken out the battery, but left the power cord in and it worked fine, without any problems at all, but when I put the battery with the power cable it crashed again. When you try to start it with just the battery, he would not do anything no lights, no boot at all?
Help, please.
Hello
Does not sound good
Only the battery is dead and or malfunction of the electronic power supply on the motherboard.
The two cases are possible.
Generally, the common user is not able to fix something like this.Of course, we can run here on the malfunction but I n t think this will help you.
In my opinion, the laptop must be verified and some diagnostic tests must be startedContact the ASP in your country and explain the guys the situation

Equium M50-164: IE does not display the pages correctly
I have a new Toshiba Equium M50-164, but it does not correctly display the my internet page at http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/lorne.anderson/Bridge/
It should look like this:
http://myWeb.tiscali.co.UK/Lorne.Anderson/NormalView.gif
with the bridge in the header, but on my Toshiba anaylser logo, it looks like this:
http://myWeb.tiscali.co.UK/Lorne.Anderson/ToshibaView.gifI have 4 other computers all display correctly (under XP, 2000, 98SE) and several of his friends say they can see OK. If I look at the HTML unlying by right click and view source in IE the fuse that displays the logo should read:
"align ="left">".
"
but on the Toshiba, view poster source:
"align ="left">".
"
Note the blank line 2 where the code to display the logo should be. If I open the page of the files on my hard drive it is displayed correctly so my guess is that Toshiba have done something to the security IE by default overide settings but I do not see what. How can I get IE on my Toshiba to work how Microsoft has designed to work?Just like a check, anyone who uses this forum can read the page correctly, or you also get the missing logo?
