Equium M50 - touchpad using Win XP home problem

Equium M50 sm59E with XP home

I went from just good to an optional update to idéacom windows knocking out my touchpad and keyboard (many other people did the same thing and there is a growing army of us more) I've resorted to a new installation I've done twice now...

I have the keyboard works in that if you start up then put on stand by.
Then wake. The keyboard remains on (if you have not.. .then when you press a key it cross the keyboard).

Download site the touchpad I was stumped because he's not even showing in Device Manager even if I got the driver from toshiba.
But then I found it as a device hidden in device manager with a *! * on it and it says the driver is not installed, no work, or that bad.

I have also no usb devices like hidden devices that are all ok except one who says, series, but it has no option to install a driver.

I read somewhere that a man had the same problem with XP and he used a Toshiba to downgrade to OS download and that worked for him, but he can't find it now.

This is reported as a problem due to updates of human interface are spoil keyboards and keys to touch... .in touch software screen in updates.

Can someone help me here I am now at all-time low and I have exausted all channels

Have you tried a system restore to restore Windows to a previous state?

If this does not work, you must uninstall all devices that you have installed recently.

For example, drivers for a new Logitech mouse may be in conflict with the driver for the Touchpad.

  • Equium M50-163 has sound-> ongoing echo problems

    As the title says, my Toshiba laptop has some problems with the sound. For almost a good 7 months now (I think that I got used to the sound, I hear an echo ' ') my laptop sound, that it either music or speaking in a film, has a permanent 'echo' (as if the sound was the mode of the room).
    There is also little or no bass. I tried to adjust the sound settings, but nothing helped, and it isn't the laptop speakers because the sound is the same with external speakers connected to my laptop.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    You have this echo effect only to watch movies or have you noticed that play games or streaming a video from the internet?

    From my experience of that many different 3rd party applications supported additional sound effects. These settings might be responsible for you echo.

    I also remember that the M50 series supports the virtual sound software. This small program changes the sound effects too.

    Select this check box. You should find it in the folder utilities Toshiba.
    As far as I know, you can change the settings of the sound from the built-in speakers, headphones and external speakers
    Choose the parameters of built-in details, speakers and opens.

    There are a few options that could create the echo effect

    Good bye

    Hello

    First of all, it would be interesting to know what laptop you have.
    Second, you must install the driver for the touchpad for gt touchpad work.

    In addition the Support Toshiba utility map Flash must be installed to get the FN keys to work.
    Flash card utility is portable independent tool and you can use a spell to Satellite L500

    I did it on my A200 and it worked...

  • Equium M50 shows black lines on sceen followed to blue screen

    Help please!

    I have Equium M50-192, who suffered with this problem for some time. More often, looking at youtube. APPER of black lines on the screen and no response from the mouse or the keyboard. But the sound continues. In a few seconds - a blue screen on death! And then a reboot. I think its something to do with the graphics card. I changed and then returns to the original driver - same thing happens. Check the bios.

    Any ideas. Otherwise its time for a new laptop!

    Hi 7hili7,

    And what of your operating system? Use you to XP, Vista, Windows 7, or another OS?

    Why do you think this has something to do with your graphics card? What is your personal feeling or do you have made specific for this?

    Without BSOD STOP code it s hard to say why this is happening. Blue screens can have much reason to also check your RAM and HARD drive using the special tools such as Memtest86 and Drive Fitness Test.

  • 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 M50-164 - 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 M50-216: 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!

  • 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: using the results of scan an error

    When I scan with all-in-one Officejet 6210, I often get an error when you try to use HP Image Zone to edit the scanned image.
    The scanner works OK, but when I accept the scanned image, it goes to the area of the Image and then I get this message to HP Image zone

    -Error message ' the program has encountered an unexpected error.:
    Object reference not set to an instance of object. "and then the area of the picture ends.

    I spent the weeks of work with the help of HP is trying to solve the problem and they even changed the printer/scanner now. It seems to be a problem on my EQUIUM M50 and I uninstalled and reinstalled the HP software several times. Is this a known problem and if so is there a workaround or some magical fix that I can download.

    Hello

    Sorry, but this is a foreign application and I can't think that there is something wrong with the laptop.
    The scanner works fine and it seems there is only the area of the Image that are some disorders.
    I assume you are using this application with digital images.
    What about other programs? You can try to search for freeware applications that do the same job. I sure that you will find enough of m.

    As mentioned this is not a program to my knowledge and Toshiba Toshiba doesn't support all the programs that are not designed by Toshiba or are not pre-installed on the image of Toshiba.

    Thank you, John.

    Hello

    Have you tried to reinstall the driver for the touchpad and the utility?
    But it could also be a hardware malfunction.
    One of my friends had a similar problem. One day, it was not possible to get the touchpad under control. The cursor has jumped and it was not possible to do anything.
    The Toshiba service partner has solved the problem.

  • 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.

  • 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.
