• Equium M50-216 - Question about the new facility

  Hello

  Recently rescued a laptop Equium M50 of my flat mate. Was a little out of adjustment. She said that I might have as could not get on the internet and it seems to be missing some vital files.

  Managed to get the wireless working again and little removed from the trash which was on it, but there are larger issues for example. Whatever it is USB I plug it will not install as there are no drivers on the HARD drive.

  I think that it probably needs to be formatted and have Windows XP Home Edition reinstalled but I did not all discs for her and do not want to spend hundreds of new software to purchase for it. Please let me know what are my best options.

  Best regards

  > have Windows XP Home Edition reinstalled, but I did not all discs for her
  That s confusing you reinstalled Windows XP, but why you need the laptop drives? I mean if Windows XP is already reinstalled you can start with the installation of the driver. Everything can be downloaded on the official website of Toshiba:

  Your laptop is an older model so you should look for in * Archives *.

• Equium M50-216: cannot save or use the microphone or "phone entries

  I have an Equium M50-216, with 1 GB of RAM & Centrino 1.7 GHz processor, running XP Home.

  Without apparent reason, I am suddenly unable to use my SKYPE USB ' phone to talk. Audio output is perfect, however.

  I also tried my helmet using the jack on the front of the laptop, with the same result.

  I downloaded and installed the latest driver for the sound card, which is a Realtek AC97. I tried the test equipment of Windows, but there is no evidence of entry he built in sound recorder, audio, or in windows.
  The device driver is properly enabled and reported no problems.

  Is it a hardware problem - as it seems card works OK for output?
  Is it a Windows problem - I can achieve a reformatting the drive & re-install of XP soon - it would help?

  Hello

  As far as I understand your problem, you are not able to use the external microphone. Am I wrong?
  You mean that it's a hardware problem, hmmm I n t think so.
  To me, it looks like a wrong setting

  Please check if the microphone is activated. This should be verified in the--> sound & audio devices Control Panel.
  On the volume tab, press the Advanced button.

  In the options settings, you can switch between the playback volume controls & record.
  Please check everything!

  Hi, I have owned my PC laptop toshiba equium m50-216 for 2 months. I haven't used the drive for about 3 weeks, but it worked very well. I went to use it today and it won't work.

  When I start an orange light flashes. Then that's it, it will not eject and if I manually eject and then put a record it is not recognized. Maybe I accidentally activated a safety lock or the somets? Thank you

• Re: Equium M50-216 - lines across the screen

  Hi my Equium M50-216 has lines across the screen and low who go up and down the screen.
  There is no picture it s just white.

  If I plug it into an external monitor I get a fine display on the monitor is so the screen is defective or something else?
  I think that the inverter is ok because it of bright and not dull.

  See you soon

  I agree with Luke.

  If the image on the external monitor is ok then the graphics card should be ok.
  If an FL inverter would be defective then everything would be visible, but just a little more dark and as behind a fog

  In your case, it looks like a display problem

  I think you should ask a technician for replacement laptop

• Replacing the drive HARD on Equium M50-216

  Hello

  I'm looking into upgrading the hard drive in my M50-216, which currently has a MK4026GAX. The player that I am most interested is the MK8032GAX. Is this a suitable replacement, that is going to work?

  A few questions:

  1. I guess it's just a case of withdrawal of the current drive, mortising the new one and start using my Toshiba restore CD? This will reinstall the Norton junk as well?

  2. assuming I have remove the current without shape, i.e. I leave it as it is, I suppose that if I find the new drive does not work I'll be able to put the former back in and it will start like nothing happened? I'm not changing any other material.

  3. it will work as a trolley suitable for the old disk: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=414030

  4. the most important question will be affecting my current standard warranty, or assign an extension of warranty if I choose to buy a more this year?

  Thank you

• Equium M50-216 - new HARD drive is not recognized

  After finding that my [laptop | http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&DISC_MODEL=0 & ACTION = PRINT_WITH_BACK & com decided .do w .broadvision = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 113323] has a hard to die in the car, I went and bought a replacement for her. Originally, the laptop had a 40 GB IDE drive, and I thought that if I had to replace the drive, then I might as well have a higher capacity drive. So I bought a [hard drive 160 GB Samsung IDE | http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/productmodel.do?type=62&subtype=67&model_cd=294#] eBay.

  Upon receipt and installation of the drive unit, I found that when I tried to open the BIOS, it would take some time to open (such as the boot device selection menu), and once it does, under the hard drive unit, it says 'none '. I tried to remove and to reinstall the drive, I have ensured that there are no jumpers on the drive and I also tried to install Ubuntu on it anyway, but the partitioning program shows nothing. If I insert the old drive, everything works fine

  As far as I know, the problem could arise because of two reasons; because I had swizzed on eBay, either because the BIOS of the laptop or the motherboard supports up to a certain capacity. I hope that it is not one of those who, as I bought this disc waited for some time for her due to slow mail and snow.

  Also, I don't know how to test a disc without having to buy some kind of adapter IDE for my main PC. Is there a way that this can be sorted?

  Edit: Considering an update of the BIOS, but struggles to find a way to do without the need to have a version of Windows there.

  Hello

  A long history but a short answer:
  Due to the IDE for your laptop, you are only able to use hard disks up to 128 GB s or let say 120 GB. The laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and thus, you can use t hard drives up to a certain capacity (128 GB).

  By the way: peut t BIOS update to fix this. It s a limitation material so BIOS update will not work.

  You return the HARD drive and buy another one, e. g. 120 GB.

• Question about hard drive replacement on Equium A100-147

  My hard drive is only 60 GB with 2 GB of ram. Any body know if it is possible to upgrade the disk hard at, say 120 GB or more information on this model.
  If so where can she come from please?

  Hello

  I put t see any reasons why the 120 GB HARD drive should not work.
  The A100 series is a new series of laptop and controller HDD & BIOS should support these dimensions.

  But very important, is that you use a HARD disk with compatible interface and supported.
  As far as I know the laptop supports SATA HDD.

• Equium M50-216 wireless questions

  Hard drive reformatted a new weeks back.
  When the computer has restarted, no wireless network could be found.

  The problem seems to be the other portable wireless laptop in the household connect OK
  The wireless switch is in position 'works', but the orange light does not "lights".

  Is this a problem with the wireless driver?

  Someone at - it help him?

  Thank you

  Hello

  The wireless network card is recognized correctly in the Device Manager?
  If this isn't the case, then the WLan driver must be installed!

  Also, check if the WiFi network has been configured correctly.
  Means that you must check the type of encryption, password encryption, and firewall settings.

  Good luck

• Satellite A200 - question format HARD drive after replacing

  Hello

  I know this is probably a stupid question to ask as I am not that great with computers.
  I have problems with my hard drive from my Toshiba Satellite A200 laptop.

  Now, when I took it out it was a 120 GB so I bought another Seagate 320 GB hard drive to replace it.
  Now can I just put it back in or do I have to format the known brand hard drive.

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Thank you

  Hello

  New HARD drive should be recognized by the laptop properly.
  If you purchased a HARD drive 2.5 SATA, so I put t see serious reasons why this HARD drive is not working.

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure
  That article should work

• Question about hard drive Partitions

  My Satellite C650 bought recently has two equal size partitions - C (called Windows) and D (known as data). However, my "Users" folder and so all my data is stored on the C drive (with all programs) while the D drive and has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.

  How to move my file 'Users' the D drive - and if I do - it somehow it is interfering with the HARD drive folder?
  This can be as simple as move the users folder - but I'm not sure if the installation of 'Libraries' or all Office programs will always seek on the C drive for data.

  I would like some advice before as I did try.

  >... While the D drive has only the HDD Recovery inside folder. This means that I have access to half of my total disk space.
  That s not the truth. You can use the free space on the second partition. HDDrecovery is just a folder where recovery image is saved. You can enter the folder properties and set it as invisible and you will see it.

  This recovery is important for two things:
  -for the creation of recovery DVDs
  -for HARD drive recovery procedure.

  Generally speaking, if you have created recovery DVD (highly recommended) you can delete this folder, but after doing this, you will not be able to create recovery DVDs or of the installation of recovery disk (F8 at startup).

  You have to understand how it works?
  If you have any other questions please let me know.
