• 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: 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 - 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! :)

• Withdrawal of the keyboard on Equium M50

  Hey people

  Hope one of you can help out me. I'm looking to upgrade the memory on the Equium M50 - 164 I and am stuck in the removal of the keyboard. I've updated the memory in the expansion to 1 GB port and all is well. I now want to spend another memory location 1 additional GB. I checked the types of speeds of memory etc... and have the correct memory, however, I can't for the life of figure me out how to remove the keyboard without breaking clips and plastic!

  Any help or get detailed instructions on the removal of the keyboard would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  Have you found that one slot at the bottom of the device memory or why you want to remove the keyboard?

  I m not 100% sure but in my opinion the two slots should be placed at the bottom of the unit and the removal of the keyboard is not necessary.

  Anyway, the Equium M50 is unknown to me but I think that the keyboard was fixed by 2 screws above the keyboard. If you want to remove the screws to remove first the cover plastic thin above the keyboard.
  Then you should be able to set the keyboard but do not forget that you have also disconnected the ribbon cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard.

  I'm pretty sure it means there is a problem with the ATI display driver but maybe wrong - ideas?

  Have tried to use the toshiba site to download the driver for it, I'm obviously a little distraught that while I can download and extract the files I don't know what to do next in fact update driver.

  Can anyone help?
  My laptop goes down all the time thanks to this and I already ran the recovery disks, but the problem still keeps recurring.
  Its adoption by trying to play a dvd and I have not yet tried to play since this first error, but it keeps recurring.

  Any help much appreciated

  See you soon

  Hello

  I completely agree with Akuma. If the same error occurs after installation of recovery it seems to be a graphics card problem.

  Before turning to an authorized service provider, you should try to update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

  If the new version of the BIOS doesn't help, you need help from the ASP. Maybe the motherboard should be replaced.

• 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.

• How to reset my Equium M50-192 to factory settings?

  Hi, I'm looking for some advice on my laptop.

  My laptop is a Toshiba Equium M50-192 and I would like to reset to the factory settings (on the box).

  I was advised by a friend that I need a recovery disk, but I don't seem to have one. Again, I have everything that came with the laptop when I bought it and have the different discs that came with it, but no recovery disk and have not been able to find the information I need the user manual.

  Is there a way I can reset my laptop without a disc?

  Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  > Is there a way I can reset my laptop without a disc?
  It is not possible to reset to factory without reinstall drive settings. You have only one option: get Microsoft WXP installation disc and install the version of the OS.

  All the drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba support page.
  You can also try, it is to find if someone has the original disc of recovery for this machine and ask if you can get a copy.

• 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

  Ed

  > 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:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

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

• ODD on Equium M50 is not working properly

  Hello

  Im having "problems" with reading DVD and CD on the DVD/CD drive internal on my Equium M50-192
  During playback of the DVD images stutter and the audio is slightly out of synchronization with the video. During playback of the CD, it is slowly changing.

  Have you tried different actors (Nero, Intervideo etc.) and all seem the same.
  Have also tried an external drive and it seems to solve the problem for 99% of the time with the DVD (always get the occasional stutter) and CD plays OK.

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Looks like your ODD has a hardware problem that must be fixed by a technician from toshiba which means you need to bring your machine to an authorized service partner.

  Then I suggest you visit the following link:

• 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!

• Screen on my Equium M50 problem

  Hello

  new here so please bear with me.

  I have an Equium M50, recently the screen has gradually turned white, then move you the angle and it goes back normal tro, this wasent a major problem, BUT it's not all white. IM guessig its probably a cable issue, but uncertain and help or advice would be appreciatted and wouldn't be a repair I could finish?

  Mark

  Hello

  It s not easy to say if he e only one loses the cable or a serious hardware problem.
  I don t think you have enough experience and tools to solve this problem yourself.

  I mean that you need to check if the Fl inverter is ok and that the laptop computer s screen is not affected. How do check you this?

  In my opinion it s advisable to ask a technician for laptop computer to help him.
  Therefore, it would be advisable to contact the ASP in your country for a control of the laptop.

• 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.
