Equium M50-244 cannot be started!

Hello

My boyfriend's son recently received a toshiba satellite m50-244, we will get into trouble this weekend. The main problem is that it's very picky... it starts for a while, then it's going to and then the screen does not display anything, or it will appear, then plant and turn off again through a blue screen.

I found a thread in the knowledge base on the bios update I put on a USB flash drive and use it as soon as I can get the miserable thing to stay long enough. Is there anything else we could do, or should we just give up and take it back to the shop of Toshiba?

Thanks in advance, hanrg.

Hi Hannah

Seems the laptop is not old and the warranty is valid.
Please contact the maintainer authorized Toshiba in your country!
Guys have more experience than the common laptop computer user like me and you.

PS: One of my friends had a similar problem and it was related to the CPU socket.

  • Equium M50-244 has bluescreens and password requested

    Hi all
    I need your help here please, my wife Equium M50-244 just froze after 15 min. I thought out the battery could solve the problem, only now when you turn on the laptop I get blue screen and a request for password that was not supplied with the computer.

    Can anyone help before she beat the life out of me (great she´s).

    Hi friend

    I hope that you´re still alive and your wife didn t just have you beat :)

    Please give more information about your problem. It seemed the first time? And what operating system you have? Have you recently updated some drivers or installed new hardware?

    And no matter what, with this password? I mean that a password does not seem fair to nowhere! Where is this password? BIOS or Windows?

    Man, give a few specific questions with plenty of information, so people here can help you.

  • WEP encryption key do not forget when you restart the Equium M50-244

    I use a laptop Equium M50-244, with a BT Home Hub 7838 wireless router. Almost everytime I turn on the laptop it has no wireless connection. So I have to go to control panel, network connections and that he can find a new connection.

    I would then type the key to encryption WEP number twice to get a new connection.
    This is obviously a long procedure, so I need to get the laptop to recognize the encryption key and save it for the next time I turn on.

    I am running Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 2 and a Norton Anti Virus and Firewall.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Hello

    I agree with Louis. Your WLAN cards support WPA encryption and, if possible, you should use it.

    Anyway: try to Setup WLAN to use Windows settings and set WEP password we remind for your WLAN. I have the set up on a lot of laptops different and after choosing the publicly traded WLAN password has already been set and the only thing that must be done is to click on the Connect button.

  • Equium M50-244 does not not to wake up on LAN

    A notebook Equium M50-244 does not meet the magic packet WOL.

    The BIOS settings are correct and show adapter LAN ENABLED, Wake on LAN: ENABLED.

    The sticker on the laptop and the original box gives a different MAC address to know what the device itself (ifconfig or lshw). No matter, the laptop does not account the magic packets for two MAC addresses.

    Using Wireshark, I see that the WOL packets are certainly diffuse with properly formatted MAC addresses.

    My thought is now that it is a BIOS problem but I can't find the right bios for this machine.

    What would be the best bios match? Keep in mind this box is Linux.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    See you soon

    Nick

    Hello

    Have you checked if the WOL is enabled in the network card settings?
    Do you know how to check this?

    Go to the Device Manager, expand network adapter s and mark LAN card.
    Then, go to the properties of the network adapter and check the Advanced tab.

    There are a lot of different settings and a configuration option must refer to the WOL.

    Have tried to update the drivers of Toshiba, ATI and omega, it makes no difference.
    Of course, there might be a flaw with chipset but diagnosis identifies any problems. If I run windows in safe mode display is ok.

    Other forums seem to report a similar problem with this model and the ATI chipset, but no one seems to have a solution. Can anyone help?

  • Equium M50-244: Question about upgrade memory and Wlan card

    I have a model Equium M50-244. What type of network adapter I need to fit a Wi - Fi connection on my hub (BT)?
    Also, I currently have 512 MB of ram installed. Can I increase this?

    Hi cora,

    Of course, you can improve the memory to a higher value.
    This book must support 2 slots of memory and it should be possible to increase memory for max 2048 MB. In this case, you can use 2 x 1024Mo module.

    I also found information that this laptop will accept this module:
    DDR2 400/533 256 MB (PA3389U - 1 M 25)
    512 MB DDR2-400/533 (PA3412U - 1 M 51)
    1 GB OF DDR2 400/533 (PA3411U-1M1G)

    I put t know if you've experienced the site options & Accessories Toshiba, but if not then visit this:

  • Equium M50-244 - SM Bus controller - all drivers available?

    Laptop bought with XP Home, but has been modified to work with XP Professional.
    Pulled the bottom of all the drivers, I could find on the site Tosh, but in the Device Manager in the section other devices SM Bus controller is marked with a? and an exclamation point.
    Any suggestion where I could find this driver (s).

    This part of the chipset? or is it another device?

    Hello

    Equium M50-244 has a part number PSM59E-xxx.
    In this case you must use the correct driver.
    On the Toshiba page you will also find a statement of installation how to install the drivers.
    You must follow this guideline.

    PS: Just FYI XP pro uses the same drivers as XP home

  • Equium M50-244: loop problem internal ati2dvag.dll

    I had a M50-244 XP Home Edition (sp2) who have ATI onboard until I uninstalled it completely. The laptop has become totally useless vomit ati2dvag.dll inner loop problem and nothing seemed to heal so I decided to completely get rid of ATI.

    It started with VGASAVE which, with a few adjustments, work is fine and so my machine now. I disabled the video as controller he kept coming up with "new hardware found" and I didn't load the drivers more who would do what he started crashing again.

    Currently its on 'test' and I'm doing everything possible to see if it will crash once again, I hope not.

    Maybe I need another driver and activate the video controller, but I am hated for doing anything more now that his works normally, finally!

    Some said the installation of the graphics driver on the site omegadrivers.net and improves the performance of the graphics card.
    Maybe an installation of the driver from the site could be useful.

  • 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?

    Roger.

    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!

  • Need Driver USB for Equium M50-244

    I installed Win XP Pro on my M50-244, but whenever I plug a data stick in the USB port, I get a message about the connection USB could be faster with USB 2 blah blah.
    Under the control panel the controller USB has a yellow question mark on it. Can someone tell me please where to find the USB driver that is appropriate for it?

    See you soon

    The laptop uses the standard Microsoft Windows USB driver. On the Toshiba page you will find all the special USB drivers for WinXP.
    Have you used the recovery CD or did you install the OS of Microsoft CD?
    Possibly, you have not installed the chipset driver?

  • Equium M50-244 blocks black screen then restart

    I am currently in a laptop for a friend he pays a month of repair of malfunctions on his laptop, world pc so he sent 2 times back and the above error is still there

    the laptop started to hang and make the mistake of ati bsod

    now, I tried to clean the system and reinstall xp, I'm so far through the installation and then it crashes

    then when I try to reboot the screen is all black and if I try a monitor is just the same

    also crashes for the memtest86 + after that about an hour from cold start or 10 minutes of a boot hot and the laptop does not warm start

    What is CPU or gfx questions?

    can someone please tell me what to do

    Hello

    This problem may be related to different hardware parts
    You said col didn t of memtest86 + test correctly although this means there could be a RAM problem.
    You said that the screen becomes black and a BSOD with ATI error appears also that this would mean that the graphics chip is not ok

    It would also be possible that the temperature high inside the cell affects mobile functionality eventually the graphics chip becomes hot and that is why temperature affects the RAM and the laptop freezes.

    What to say if the graphics chip is the reason for this while the whole motherboard must be replaced and a motherboard is not cheap

    Maybe you need to find a second hand M50 and could replace the motherboard in order to test it

    I tried to boot from the disk recovery and hard drive but no joy.

    but when I boot from the disk it gives me this error pxe - e61, which is where his tent to boot from the network I have read.

    until I replaced my hard drive, he had a strong look that has disappeared since I replaced it.

    Hello!

    What happens to an error you get? Please post what we can help you.

    To be honest that I n don't know what you mean with clip Ribbon keyboard but if the keyboard is faulty or something else, the keyboard completely must be exchanged. You are not a unique key or something else.
    If you want a new keyboard or other spare parts contact your local ASP.
