How Equium M50-235 faster?

Hi all

I've had my laptop Equium M50 - 235 for about 4 years now and although it's a bit slow :( I was wondering if anyone can suggest ways to make it faster because I don't want to buy a new laptop due to lack of money.

It is 256 RAM and 1.7 GHz, 40g hard drive... Can I put them all?
Advice & tips are welcome!

Please help as I t really know what I m doing when it comes to things like that!
Thank you very much

Dale

You can make your computer much faster satellite phone very easy.
The first RAM upgrade to the maximum level. It is 2 GB. For this you need two modules of RAM 1 GB compatible.
Compatible 1 GB has PA3313U-2M1G part number.

With 2 GB of RAM, the laptop will be much faster. The second step is running in system optimization.

You n t need some CPU upgrade. With RAM maximum and set up the operating system, the laptop runs like a rocket. ;)

  • Equium M50-235: the keyboard does not work after upgrde memory

    I just did an upgrade memory on my laptop using the second slot located under the keyboard.
    However, as I was putting the keyboard at the rear, the ribbon cable has pulled away from the motherboard and even if I pushed
    Reconnect and fixed with the clip, the keyboard no longer works.

    Is there a service manual I can get hold of someone know what could be the cause of the problem?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    First of all, once you unscrew the keyboard, open the clip that secures it in place and reinstall the keyboard by ensuring that it is completely down. After that, now the flat cable in place, close the clip. Then, make sure that it is not lost and that it is seated correctly. Then turn on the laptop and see if it works. If this is not the case, try an external keyboard. If an external keyboard does not work, the keyboard on your MB controller is dead and you need a new MB. If an external keyboard works then your keyboard is dead, or the connector on the MB is dead. Best way to test is to try the first solution. If it doesn't work, take it to an ASP so they can try another keyboard for your laptop. Good luck.

  • Equium M50: How do I change the details of Wlan WEP?

    Does anyone know how to change the WEP (?) details on an Equium M50, I just signed up to broadband wireless Orange and they tell me that their WEP key is 26 digits and look only some old pc for 23 codes numbers? I can't put my wireless switch on and my laptop is wireless box but will pair not to her.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated I have a centrino laptop, a wireless box, a monthly bill of £18 and I still have to use a thread!

    See you soon,.
    Nick.

    Hello

    Available in two flavors, 64-bit and 128-bit static WEP. When you configure a channel key on access point or client device a hex (or ASCII) WEP came to represent the key.
    If you use WEP 128 bit, the user has entered the portion is 26 digits HEX (ASCII 13 characters)
    Encryption WEP 64-bit required 5 password alphanumeric characters numbers and 10-digit hexadecimal characters.

    I put t know what WLan application you use but generally if you have Atheros WLan card you should be able to change the encryption in the Atheros WLan utility.

    If you use Windows to configure the WiFi connection so in this case you must change under properties of the Wlan network.

  • Equium M50 - how to replace the fan?

    Hi all.

    I don't know much about computers, and this is my first post. My Equium M50-192 starts to turn after about 15-20 minutes. It is very hot and I can't hear the fan more. I guess that's the problem so to replace the fan. But how can I do? How do the fan?
    And it is easy to do, or should I leave it to an expert?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    It is not easy to explain in a few sentences. Computer laptop disassembly procedure is quite complicated and if you don t have experiences you should not even think about it.

    The second important thing is that laptop procedure disassembly should be done following the rights steps in Maintenance manuals. This document is not a public document.

    So if you think about it maybe you should seek professional help.
    What do you thing about that?

  • How to install the compatible DVD decoder on Equium M50?

    My laptop is model Equium M50-164 PSM57E-002004AV

    After format, I lost DVD decoder.
    How can I install compatible DVD decoder?

    Can you please explain how you mean exactly and what OS do you have?
    You have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk?

    Normally, you can play DVDs with Windows media player and so you n t need additional software or driver.
    Also, I prefer VLC media player. This little player can play audio and video files more and its freeware.

    If you need a codec pack that you should search with Google K-Lite Mega Codec Pack. It is very good ;)

    Good luck!

  • 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.

  • How to set up LAN on Equium M50

    Hello

    I have an Equium M50 and recently moved house. In my old House, I got wireless and the Internet worked well. However in the new House, it is a home network router that connects all 4 computers to the internet. I tried to put the LAN cable in my laptop and it doesn't recognize it.

    As I am new on LAN I need to download a driver for it or buy a card? Yet once sorry on the simplicity of the post, but no one in the House can help me because they all desktop computers. See you soon

    Hello

    If you are using a router at home, the connection should be very easy.
    Laptop computer TCP/IP settings should be set to automatic.

    The router manages a pool of IP addresses and should affect a free IP address automatically to a connected computer.
    Please check the settings of the router again!

    Disable the MAC address filtering and check if a firewall is set on your laptop.

    Sometimes if the firewall is on the notebook cannot be connected to the router or LAN.

  • Equium M50 - how to connect firewire devices?

    Equium M50 Intel Celeron M 360 1.4 GHz processor

    Referring to the above, I am able to download photos from my camera to my hard drive, but to download videos that I need to connect a firewire camcorder to the computer. There is no connector on the computer to take in this regard.

    Is there a solution to this?

    Hello

    I put t know if your camera has a firewire port, but if yes it is listed in the Device Manager as IEEE 1394 bus host controller.

    If your device doesn't have a firewire port, you can buy the PCMCIA card with firewire port. By the way: M50 has 4 USB ports (two in the back near LAN port and two near the DVD drive on the right). On models with firewire ports it is definitively placed near S-video output port as Michael described.

  • Publisher XP starts very slowly on my Equium M50

    Hello

    Just bought an Equium M50-164 and I have problems to open Microsoft Publisher files.

    Generally, the computer is very fast compared to my old one but takes forever to open a file in Microsoft Publisher. Even when it does not open it opens all the tables that were created on the file.

    I have Microsoft Office, Autocad 2005 and Microsoft installed Highway also. They seem to work fine.

    Concerning

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say why it starts slowly. Slow performance can be a very difficult problem to diagnose because there are many causes of the slow performance. More in my knowledge Microsoft programs (IE. Editor, office, etc.) are very complicated software tools and it s is not easy to say which and how much process is running in the context of the BONE. I recommend you to search on the Microsoft Web sites for useful information.

  • 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.
