Question on Satellite L50-B-17-V FN keys

Hello

I have a problem that affects the function of the special keys of my Satellite L50-B-17-V with Win8.1, given that Toshiba has just introduced the new 1.90 bios, I'm not longer automatically, but pressing the fn key before, I was in the service of installation by modifying the bios, but it remains the mode standard f1 - f12.

How can I solve this problem? Thank you

Try it please change the Mode of function keys in the system settings tool.
Open Desktop Help > tools & utilities > system settings > keyboard. You will find this option.
Please try to change the mode to the special operating mode and confirm with apply.

After doing this test F keys and post comments please.

    Hello guys

    just wondering if its normal for this model to have a very little noise in his hard drive?... and also it clearly says truBriteĀ® HD TFT display high brightness with aspect ratio 16: 9 LED backlight
    internal resolution: 1366 x 768 in the specs, but why not not good as other notebook computer display... It's bright other led backlit screens are better... and I don't know if it is a device with the laptop, because sometimes when you go to a dark page and go to a blank page, the brightness decreases and then increases after a few seconds or a minute then...

    any ideas?

    Hello

    It s nothing unusual if a HARD drive create a sound. It happens more often during the reading or writing of data.

    Don t so worry about this but note: you should always create a backup from time to time because a HARD drive failure can happen unexpectedly.

    As you say; the laptop was equipped with a 15.6 LED HD display with resolution 1366 x 768. Following the display, the display brightness may vary.

    As far as I know that this kind of display supports the 200nit max brightness (nit is a unit of visible light intensity allows to specify the brightness)

    However, the brightness of the display can be decreased and increased by using the function keys (F-keys)

    In addition laptops equipped with the graphics card AMD supports the option called AMD Vari Bright which saves energy consumption by optimizing the contrast of the image.
    This feature can be turned on and off in the center of engine control AMD Vision.

    In AMD/ATI control center select power power play.
    You will find the box power play that enables or disables the function light vari.

    I suppose that similar functionality is in the settings of the GPU from Intel in case your laptop would support Intel GPU as well.

  • Question of the animation to boot Windows on Satellite L50-A-1F2

    Hi guys,.

    I installed Linux on my Satellite L50-A-1F2, and now when I start Windows, after the grub is sometimes very good, sometimes I see the stripes, or the Windows boot animation biased... sometimes, like now, I see the image of grub instead of the classic Windows logo. Everything works fine, Windows loading perfectly... but if anyone can solve this problem that makes me happy.

    Thank you! Sorry for my English!

    Hello

    I think that your problem is a gesture of challenge related to the Linux installed.
    Probably, Boot Manager Windows 8.1 has been replaced by GRUB in Linux and that's why the start-up procedure search differently.

    I have no solution for you, but recommend you to check a few FAQ and HowTo to configure GRUB

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1 5 - question about max LAN speed

    Qualcomm-Atheros AR8171/8175 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)

    In the specifications it is said that this network adapter might work on the speed of the LAN 1 Gbps 1000base-t.
    But the max speed that is displayed on my system is 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX.
    Why?

    System: _
    Toshiba Satellite L50 - A - 1-5
    Windows OS 8.1
    Driver version 2.1.0.21
    Qualcomm-Atheros AR8171/8175 PCI - E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (NDIS 6.30)

    You're right, the network adapter. Atheros QCA8171B supports networks: 1000BASE-T/100Base-TX/10Base-T

    To use the range, the router should also support the 1000BASE-T.
    Did you check that?

    In addition, you can change the LAN settings in:
    Device Manager-> LAN card-> properties-> Advanced tab

    Here, you should check if 1000BASE-T option is selected and chosen.

    I also recommend you check the BIOS settings because as fat I know some LAN function can be enable/disable in the BIOS

  • Satellite L50-B-1 q 0 - removal battery question

    Hi, I bought the product Satellite L50-B-1 q 0.
    With astonishment, I found that * the battery is not removable *.
    I always knew that when you use a portable computer, you must remove the battery;
    Then, I wanted to know if this product has a new technology where the battery life is not affected by the use of the computer when it is connected to the power adapter.

    Thank you.

    > I always knew that when you use a portable computer, you must remove the battery;
    For a long time I use Toshiba portable computers, but I never read these tips in the documents of Toshiba I got new machines.
    I have never done this in the past and I never will in the future. From time to time, you can use your laptop with battery only and charge again.

    You are right. Your laptop battery can not be removed, but there is no reason to panic. Sink the battery and charge it at least once a month.

  • Satellite L50-C-215: failure to install Win7 via the USB port, pb and toshiba.bg bug ' workshop

    Satellite L50-c-215 is a laptop sold without optical drive or OS.

    We bought it today.


    Questions:

    -We were told "it is compatible with windows 7", but what a salesman said, everything can be downloaded from the Web from Toshiba site
    -While watching the Web from Toshiba site, a link says 'no system operating inside'. Link is corrupt
    -2 "official" companies are listed for the Bulgarian Web from Toshiba site are wrong: nobody told on the phone that they are not official support from Toshiba


    Technical questions:

    -J' tried to put several Windows 7 ISO on a USB key, using the official Microsoft tool and Rufus, but I got error that says "CD/DVD Driver is missing."
    -In some forums, it is said that test the spirit of the thing that a USB 2.0 can solve if USB 3.0 will fail. Each USB failed.

    Sales question:

    -Although the European commercial law says people have a little more time to restore a non-working product and be reimbursed, when we returned to the computer at the Technopolis shop a few hours after the purchase, employees told us ' problem is not hardware: we do not cancel the sale, we can take over the computer and give your money. " "Problem is software: see with Toshiba.
    The best we could get was the address of a computer service non-Toshiba to try to ask if they might be able to install Windows 7


    I already spent half a day working on it
    What can we do to install Windows 7 or get the computer returned and refunded?

    Tried Tnings at night:

    -> Intall Ubuntu 12.04: card WiFi can't work, no Ethernet cable to update from the Internet

    The drivers are on the website of Intel, but solution install require packages to download on the internet, not USB

    -> Last Debian version: error starting in the command line

    -> 14.04 installed, Ubuntu box checked during installation to use the Intel Wifi device
    Re: software WiFi cannot connect. Spent a few hours on forums to try to understand how to install the Intel USB drivers. Does not work.

    For people who want to buy this model, try to get a player of optical disk to install Windows, a good cable to Linux, update or be prepared to spend time and money for the service simply be able to use the computer.

    Oh, another thing: Technopolis company is not able to provide you with enough information before buying a product. I will not say that they rip off, but almost: especially to overseas buyers, buy refusal refund to anyone who is not able to have an argument that was screaming in Bulgarian with them.

  • Satellite L50-C-22 - update of victory 10 home win 10 Pro

    Summary: I have a new Toshiba laptop, pre-installed with 10 Home X 64 Windows and want to update, as simply and not destructive as possible to 10 Pro Windows.

    I bought my Toshiba Satellite L50 - C - 22 L last month and, overall, I'm very happy with it. He moved in with MS Windows 10 (X 64) running on 8 GB of RAM and works well. I have a couple of other machines running Windows 10 Pro and missed some additional features, so I bought a Pro product key. I had assumed that I would go to the settings screen, choose the 'Activation' option and then click the button change the product key. My new key would be accepted and the system should perform an upgrade in-place to Windows Pro 10.

    Which has proved to be a little ambitious.

    The process failed with the message "the product key you entered cannot be used to activate this edition of Windows. Please try a different key. I spoke to Microsoft and they have confirmed the key that it is authentic, but suggest it only works if I rubbed and rebuilt laptop computer with a new installation, registering the new product key to a suitable place in the build process. (This raises the question of what the "Change product key" button is a commercial copy of the OS, but that's another story).

    My question is, can I follow the instructions to create a recovery on the laptop media to recover a version of the PC factory reset, but change to include the key product Pro Win 10? If I understand correctly, if there is a WIM file as part of the recovery media, it contains all versions of Windows 10 32 - bit and 64 - bit. Installed the final version is 'unlocked' by the product key. This depends, however, how Toshiba packaged installation of recovery files and if they can be twisted this way.

    Of course, there may be a more obvious way to achieve the same goal I'm missing completely, so any other suggestions gratefully received.

    Thanks for reading,

  • Satellite L50-A013 - internal management of video memory of BSOD

    Hello.

    Recently, I had several questions about my graphics card and the blue screen of death.
    Here is a link to my dump file, converted to .txt: download

    Specifications of the computer:
    Model - Toshiba Satellite L50-A013
    Processor - Intel Core i7-3630QM @ 2.40 GHz
    RAM - 8.00 GB
    64 bit
    Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 740 M (2 GB dedicated I think)

    Additional information:
    My computer did not have a problem of graphics until a few months ago. I had a different problem before that. I got a blue screen error called THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED. Rolling back my drivers fixed this problem, but after a few days, I started to experience lots of lag of frames per second (FPS) so I used the NVIDIA experience of re application - update my drivers.

    Now I get a decent FPS, but my computer like a blue screen.

    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1 7 does not start

    A month or 2 ago, I had the same problem. I feel that I can go anywhere with my problem so here is my last hope.

    So first of all, there is a moment that I was using my laptop Toshiba L50 - has - 1 7 during the evening. I put on the mode 'sleep', lay on the ground and go to sleep. The next morning, I decided to use my laptop again, but it wouldn't start. The single LED light that worked was that it was the battery being fed or whatever. Done quite some research and I wanted to disconnect the battery of my laptop but I discovered that the battery is supposed to stay connected. Instead, there is a switch force or something. I just have to go in there with a needle, click and hold the button for 30 - seconds-ish and it would be identical to unload my PC or something else.

    I tried, but nothing happ-ERA and I contacted the online store where I ordered it to help. They have not really give any useful information and I was getting enough. They do not have help me to think about the problem, they just kept saying that I had to return it. I asked how long it would take and if I lose files. They said there is a chance of losing files and it would take more than 3 weeks. I can't really lose my cell phone for more than 5 days! It's quite a disaster because I need every day my laptop.

    In the morning, after that I decided to retry the stop switch to force thingy. I held the Start button and after a 10 - ish seconds there once again. All current progress was saved, and it was as if nothing had happ-ERA since then. I still had on the browsers and file op - en. Quite a miracle and a lot of luck involved. I don't like not how, but this worked so I stopped looking for answers. A day later, the same thing happ-ERA again. But this time, I just closed and ERP - ERA my laptop. This triggered somehow it of sleepmode and it worked again. So that's what I kept the past month. Some days, that I had to reboot my pc for updates but then I just clicked restart instead of shutdown down.

    Now, today I had to go and he gave me a typical firewall error when in the game so I decided to shut it down (for the first time since I had these problems). I come back home and I have the same problem again... Now I have even more scared that it won't start because it is now completely off and no "standby mode". I tried o-p-e-n-i-n-g my laptop once again, by using the switch to stop, but it did not help to get started.

    Hi Sil22

    I'm scared of m that this awakening / power on the subject indicate that there is a serious problem with the material.
    As you mentioned in your post, force to shut down the unit should help to stop/Reset of the laptop where it is hung.

    But as I understand the question, the laptop has been turned on properly and probably in this case this switch would not be very.
    I m not very good if you will be able to solve this problem without the help of additional service.
    In the worst case I recommend you contact Toshiba ASP (authorized in your country service provider) in order to check the laptop for possible hardware malfunction.
    All FSA available worldwide could be found here: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    But you issue:
    Even if you have already tried the force stop switch I recommend checking of workaround steps once more:
    Disconnect the power adapter and use a an object from sliding into the hole to support the force stop switch. Please hold switch 10 sec long.
    Then you must also press on and press and hold the power for 30 seconds about

    After that, connect the AC adapter and check if the power light is on.
    If it s ON, then it means that the power supply is provided correctly to the laptop.
    Now press power button again to power the unit in place.

    If it works, well, then I recommend you update the BIOS of your laptop.
    The latest version of the BIOS can be downloaded here:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Choose the Satellite L50 PSKK6E
    Also Windows system should be updated to the latest state!

    Where workaround is not helpful, I recommend using ASP.

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite L50-A-161.
    The computer has two graphics cards: a processor intel integrated and a gforce 740 m with 2 GB dedicated.
    Is your computer often uses the video card intel automatically, how do I know the computer to use the gforce always because I often use 3D programs like autocad, photoshop, 3ds design, etc...
    In addition to the question: are we sure the gforce 740 m is a dedicated with 2 GB video card? due to various forums about this computer shared video card

    Thanks for your help

    Vince

    According to the specifications of the laptop it has 4 RAM slots and can be upgraded up to 32 GB of RAM.
    Rams compatible are:
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

    I advise you to buy high-quality Kingston modules and you will be safe from the 100% compatibility.

    With SSD I think that there is no problem at all. I upgraded my laptop older and it works perfectly.

    Thank you very much.
    Juan Carlos

    As I understood your message; you want to put the current HARD drive in the Bay ODD (optical disc), then a new SSD drive in the HARD drive Bay.
    Is this right?

    Well, first of all it s a good idea to replace the HARD drive with SSD drive. You will definitely get a boost huge performance. I did these updates in the past, and my laptop runs a lot faster.

    Now back to the question on the use of the HARD drive instead of driving ODD.
    I put t know if it will be possible since the laptop does not support the special feature of selection-Bay.
    In the past, some other laptops Toshiba Tecra and Portege series supported these updates but I'm not very well on laptops Satellite m.

    So in the worst case the HARD disk will not be recognized in the ODD Bay
