Equium M50-164 would not work with 2 GB of Ram

If someone has successfully run this laptop with 2 GB of ram.
It will take 1.5 GB without problem, but if I replace the original card of 512 MB with a 1 GB laptop does not work.

Have now updated the bios ok, but still no joy
can someone help please...

Hello

The M50 can be upgraded to 2 GB! It's a good and two 1 GB memory modules should work!
Did you use the same memory modules?
I found the 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G) modules on the Toshiba site options & accessories.
In my opinion, you should try this module.

A lot of modules without a name is not 100% compatible and the quality is poor. I use the modules of Kingston and I m very happy. To my knowledge Toshiba portable computers are delivered either with memory modules Toshiba or Kingston.

Good luck

  • Equium M50-164 does not work after the spill of water

    I bought a laptop Toshiba Equium M50-164 last year.
    I paid a lot of money, now it does not work.
    I can't afford to write that he took so therefore must operate.

    The reason why it does not work is the water spilled on it.

    I took it to a specialist. I found in the repertoire of Thompson, I paid him £50 and he siad he probably one
    new motherboard and so not worth repairing as it comes to Toshiba and their parts are expensive etc...
    Is this fair?

    I'm desperate to fix but don't know how.

    Help, please. Without doubt, I should be able to buy a motherboard for the laptop without costing an arm or a leg.

    Hello

    As you probably know that the laptop parts are not cheap because of miniaturization and mobility.
    The LCD screen and the motherboard are the more expensive parts that are used in the laptop. I na? not know if Toshiba parts are more expensive. I guess it depends on the features of the laptop.

    However, the new motherboard is very expensive and I think that the search for unity of second hand with the motherboard isn't a bad idea.
    CA? s your choice. New motherboard = expensive but with card guarantee or second hand mother = cheaper, but no guarantee

    PS: the replacement of the motherboard is not very easy and that's why if you have no experience you should ask a technician for help.

  • 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 - roll trackpad not working after installing Vista

    After installation of Vista Edition full scrolling on my trackpad seems to not work. Is it possible to fix this?

    Suggestions apprieciated.

    Hello

    AFAIK Equium M50 (PSM53) will be supported for Vista, but obviously the drivers aren't ready to download. Try to find the ALPS driver somewhere on the Internet.

  • I'm trying to print using my own profile and no color management.   I have found a lead to the Adobe Color Print Utility but reached a point where he declared that she would not work with future versions of the Mac operating system.   I have Mac OS 10,11,

    I have been printing PSD images with my own profiles and color management using an Epson R2880.

    I've now changed to a Mac with OO 10.11.3 and unable to replace the color management.   I found a lead on the Adobe Color printer utility but failed and got a message saying that the utility has only worked with an earlier version of the OS 10.   Is there a way to turn this problem?

    GHK

    You don't want or need to use the old setting 'No Color Management'. Is no longer the right way to print with a custom printer profile, in the current versions of Photoshop and OS X.

    To use a custom profile to print, use the attached picture settings:

    • In the print dialog box, set the Photoshop color management menu manages colors.
    • Select your profile to the printer in the printer profile menu.
    • In the settings of printer driver Epson (under Printer Setup button) make sure that the Epson printer driver is set to the color - off management.

    I don't know why Adobe Color Printer Utility works in 10.11.3, because I can throw on OS X 10.10 and 10.11. But in the end, it doesn't matter, because you don't want to use it for this purpose Adobe Color Printer Utility is only to print a profiling target, no images. And it won't let you print using your custom printer profile, because the whole point of the utility is to print with no discoloration whatsoever.

  • 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.

    Hello

    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 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: 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.gif

    I 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">".



    Opens my software home page to see more programs



    "
    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?

    Is this single page where you have this problem? Have you tried to open it with another browser?

  • After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

    After the upgrade to Firefox 4.0, I returned to Firefox 3.6 because plug-ins, such as Media Player, would not work just with 4.0. They now work with 4.0.1?

    I used WMP plugin with Firefox 4 since its release.

    The problem is probably because she couldn't find the WMP plugin. One way around this problem is to install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin available from http://www.interoperabilitybridges.com/html5-extension-for-wmp-plugin

    This add-on will do 2 things, it will install the WMP plugin in a place that can find Firefox 4, it will also add an extension to add additional functionality for use by Windows Media Player. This extension has been reported as causing memory leaks, so I recommend that once you install the HTML5 Extension for Windows Media Player Firefox plugin, you must restart Firefox then uninstall the extension. The extension uninstaller will not remove the plugin, Firefox 4 will still be able to use it.

  • Equium M50-164: mouse jumping when only on the main power

    Hi guys

    I have an equium M50-164...
    around the age of 19 months

    The 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

  • 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 started

    Contact the ASP in your country and explain the guys the situation

  • 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

    Ephid0r UK

    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.
