• Drivers XP for Satellite M50 - 130 PSM51E required

  Hello

  I think I may have made a big mistake.

  An elderly parent gave me his Toshiba Satellite to "clean". I just ahead and reinstalled XP Home on thinking that I could simply reinstall all drivers by downloading the Toshiba web site. (as I have done for other portable parents)

  XP Home installed using an existing drive and use the MS code on the label under the lap top.

  However, I am now very nervous because I can't find the drivers on the Toshiba web site for this product and I have a load of unknown/other devices in Audio/video/ethernet/mass storage device manager.

  I took a guess at the wireless driver and have wifi work so I'm online and you have activated Windows.

  Can someone point me in the right direction for all drivers please.

  Model is
  Satellite M50-130 PSM51E

  I want to replace the hard drive, because it becomes unreliable, but can't fnd the specs.
  Can someone help with the exact specifications please?
  Is the drive IDE or SATA?
  Size = 2.5 inches?

  I think the original size is 40 GB, can I replace it with any size?

  Did the removal and easy replacement? Are there instructions please?
  I have a horrible feeling that there may be data recovery for the operating system on a hidden in the drive partition.

• Satellite M50-130 with keyboard problem

  When my Satellite M50 starts, typing in the password box is not a problem, the sound when I reach this point and try to type in word or in internet explore or play a game.
  The same key cannot be presses twice in a row. For example, to type WWW I must press W, wait a second, then press W again and so on, otherwise it only type 1 W.

  The same thing with all the keys and I can not play with the arrow keys as you can not, for example, not side twice in a game as I have the same m key in quick succession.

  Any ideas? Cheers, Jim

  Hello Jim

  My colleague from work the same As model of mobile and he uses it to Web design and type a few codes to our database. From time to time, I'm sitting near his office and several times I looked at what he do exactly. Believe me that there are no such problems.

  It is important to say that his book is preinstalled with recovery image and slightly modified for our enterprise security needs.

  Can you please tell us since when you noticed this problem with keyboard? Are you also using recovery image and have you ever tried to fix this somehow? Have you noticed any other strange questions about your Satellite phone as a disk busy, high utilization of the processor or something similar?

• Satellite M50 - 130 - Touch and launch software does not

  Hello

  I recently had my reinstalled M50 - 130 as he had a huge virus problem and the man who did it, did not reinstall all my drivers and utilities, so I've downloaded from the Toshiba page.

  Problem I have is that the software ' touch and launch "doesn't appear when I clicked through my Start menu or via my computer, I tried, put it back, but not luck. Anyone got any ideas? Because miss me it!

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The launch and the Touch utility is available on the European driver from Toshiba website. It s a 1.2.7.0 version. The Touch and the launch is a program to facilitate various functions using the touch pad.
  After installation, you should see it in the touchpad settings.

  You know the installation of drivers and tools?
  It s a little more tricky, the proper installation order is necessary to run the application correctly.
  You can find the installation instructions in the document of Toshiba, which was placed on the driver page.

  Believe me, many years ago, I was a newbie to Toshiba, but since several facilities of OS on my two computers laptop Toshiba, I discovered that the proper installation order is very important and necessary.

  So check it out buddy

• Questions about Satellite P10 554

  Hello

  I have 2 questions about my P10-554. I read on this forum but can't find anything that helps out me.

  First of all:
  When I try to turn the unit off after working, using even the closing of xp function or the power button, windows normally quit, but when it needs to turn off just reboot again. If I repeat the closing down directly after this restart, normally it turns off.
  This problem occur only when I use the power supply in battery mode.
  I can't say that to me...

  Second:
  I have a mini PCI Wlan card for my unit, works very well, but I wonder if it is possible to get the Wlan switch switch work whith it? Or is it only possible whith some special maps? It is not so important, but it would be nice to know if there is a trick or something to get the switch used.

  Best regards
  Gabbagandalf

  Hello

  Regarding your first question;
  I'm a bit confused of m are sure you n t use the restart option?
  I never noticed anything like that on my laptop

  Usually, if I use the Shut down option, I can choose between standby, hibernation, restart and shutdown. If I use the stop that the laptop turns off as it should.
  Maybe it's time to s for a reinstallation of the OS?

  On the second question.
  The switch on the left side for laptop was designed and developed to pass on the WLan card antenna.
  Usually, you should be able to use this switch and to toggle WLan card functionality

  Don t understand why it should not work?  :|

• Satellite M50-130 does not BSOD appears

  The M50-130 apparently won't let you run unless it is on the lowest power setting imaginable. At first I thought it was windows, reinstalled, even tried linux, same blockages.

  Blockages were handed over to instant zero or random messages on the BSOD. He continues to go with power setting as low.

  The strange is that he is not a homogeneous heat since I left it off and even without a block or anything plugged for hours and even in this case got the symptoms. To make it work, the only way is to leave the lowest imaginable setting on the thingimagy of power on the taskbar on the cpu and leave it there.

  I have used it on the establishment of an average of one day and worked, but then he hooked again on a game.

  I thought at some point it is the RAM, nope, checked and was not the only mistake I could get on the verification of memory, but a blocking/total system reboot.

  Then I thought it was the omega drivers, I replaced the with the default drivers of toshiba, always the same. Of course, I'm afraid that these driver updates could have a damaging effect, but anyway.

  The behavior of the random/blockages on BSOD messages seem to be quite randomly, but it seems to stabilize when I boot just windows and leave it on a lower power setting, I did ('1' constant cpu, consumption of energy optimal or 2 ")

  There is no guarantee and I really need a laptop NOW, so you'll understand that I'm left with two options: either quickly fix any way I can, or just buy a new laptop.

  Hello Lela

  Your troubleshooting is really impressive and everything you've tried is good, but you should ask yourself is it really something else you can try? I don't think so. If the problem persists after the installation of clean operating system (recovery image) then there must be a serious problem. I can't say with certainty what may be the problem but the technicians of the authorized service provider.

  Make a call and let check the laptop. They may be able to fix this YOUNG.
  Sorry, but I don't really see another option for you.

  In the end I just say: compare the price of repairs with prices of some new notebooks and I believe you all need to make the decision.

• Different questions about Satellite L855

  Dear community of Toshiba...

  I bought a Toshiba laptop as for my study Mediadevelopment a year and half ago. I got Toshiba Satellite L855 edition.

  When I received my order, I was very happy with it and I knew that I would succeed on this nice unit programming.

  After 3 weeks of use, I already had a scratch right next to the camera. And I must admit I really handled the phone with care. I ordered a case of neck and he had with me in a laptop bag. Even when the lid is closed there is small scratches around my laptop and it started to worry about what would happen.

  While watching an episode of the game of Thrones. I noticed a red dot... just in the middle of the screen. And I don't want to be arrogant, but I have to say that it's not cool when you already have a failure of pixel using a laptop as about 1 month.

  I received an update of a driver of my DVD player tray. And toshiba TEMPRO told me there was a BLUERAY drive in my notebook... but this was not true... Just another point that disappointed me.

  I ordered an upgrade for Windows 8... So I was able to develop applications for Windows 8. It's a very nice OS BUT I can't use my brightness buttons yet more... The display goes just in black, and aint there is no way to fix it, but to restart my computer and that is very annoying when you are programming.

  The fan on my AMD card also gets really hot while doing nothing. I know how to check if there are a lot of processes running, but it heats up by simple same process (it's even my glass cool soda Cook until temperature hot lol!)

  And now also the reason why I ask for your support here, when I close the lid of my laptop. It closes smoothly... There is a crackling sound and the back cover looks like it rises while I close the lid.

  Now after all I lost a little hope in my notebook. And I repeat, that I really handled it with care... I don't even dare to walk with her while she is closed in my hand. But those things so much that makes me sad. Just because of I still need to study 3 years more and had to pay a lot of money for this... I'm sad that sooner or later things will just get worse...

  I therefore ask you guys, you people don't know what I can do?

  Kind regards

  PS: Sorry for my English!
  Jay

  Hi Jay

  In general the notebooks are not so sensitive devices so I put t know how all this can happen, I mean with scratches and clicking noise. It is logical that laptop may not always be as good as new.
  I handle my books carefully, too, but they are not in perfect condition more.
  Cooling fan: try to reduce the activity of fan cooling cooling method to change option.
  Control Panel > power options > change the power plan settings > power plan advanced options > Toshiba power Saver saver > cooling method change for optimized battery
  This should reduce the activity of fan cooling.

  > Then I ask you guys, people you know what I can do?
  It is not easy to give you the correct answer to this question. What you can try is to contact Toshiba service and ask for a tip. They should have experience with this, and they are in constant contact with Toshiba, so they should have enough information about the situation.

  By the way: several people have reported on this message Tempro. You should not be disappointed on this matter. It is an automatic procedure and such errors may occur.

• A few questions about Satellite Pro P4600

  Hey ^ ^

  I have a few questions on my Satellite Pro 4600

  1. How do I remove the keyboard of an intern?

  2. How can I open the laptop, to add a pci card? or watsch the CPU?

  THX!

  Hello

  to remove the keyboard, simply remove the long plastic on top of the keyboard cover. Just take a flat blade screwdriver gently push the upper part where the F1 - F12 keys are under the plastic cover and the elevator that plastic cover.

  Why do you want to open your machine? You want to install an additional WIFI card or what? And what do you mean with "watsch" the CPU?

  Could you please clarify it?

  THX :)

• Question about Satellite A200 - 13L

  Hallo,

  I would like to buy a Toshiba laptop. The Satellite A200 - 13L series isn't already available. So a store told me that there are products of follower: Toshiba Satellite Pro A200 with 2 x 2.2 GHz!

  But the new collection hasn t the best system the older one, and a black keyboard.
  What can I do? Pending?

  The specification of it is very good, but I need the old box with a white keyboard and a system of his best.

  Hello

  Sorry, but it is not easy to say what you need to do. You have your opinion and your own priorities. Inform you about all the models available and make a decision. Don't buy something if you're not 100% sure that you want it to be.

  For me design is very important, but the hardware is much more important to me. Make sure that the laptop has graphics card good, enough RAM and all that you have to work for every day (WLAN, BT, perhaps of the webcam and so on).

• Question about Satellite A30-power adapter

  Hello

  I own a laptop Satellite A30 and my charger just died. I have looked on the internet to buy a new one, but can not find the same model of the same brand (delta ADP-90FB REV electronics. (E) and having trouble finding something on the site Web of Toshiba.
  I found some Chargers compatible with laptops Satellite A30 on another site, but they are quite expensive (about £55). Another less expensive option?

  Thank you

  Thomas

  Hello

  Believe me: it s better to use than stuff unnamed original equipment. On the one hand, you win money and if your machine is broken due to a power adapter that gives your machine
  a wrong voltage or whatever.

  I had a great experience with my tecra 8100 a few years ago:

  My old AC was broken, so I bought one in a store, which has been declared as "corresponds to 100% and blablabla".

  Cost: $ 37

  After a while my machine freezes sometimes and for a day-> no boot.
  Then I gave my machine to fix after they have made their diagnosis, they asked, what sort of AC, I used. Heh? They explained to me, I used the AC adapter was not a constant voltage,
  If some capacitors smd-says 'goodbye '.

  You can save money, but give you him another side, believe me.

• Questions about Satellite 1115-S103 upgrade

  Hello
  There are Toshiba Satellite 1115-S103, configuration Intel Celeron 1500 256 MB 20 GB M6 ATI DVD - ROM 16MB 14.1 "1024 x 768. I want to do the upgrade and I have a few questions:
  1. What more powerful CPU could be placed in the laptop?
  2. What is the largest size of RAM?
  3. What is the largest capacity of the hard drive?
  4 could replace the graphics card with a newer version?
  5. an internal Wi - Fi adapter could be placed in the laptop (not to mention that in the PCMCIA slot)?

  Looking forward for your reply. Best regards.

  Hello

  Don't expect too much! The laptop upgrades are limited and it is not easy or especially not possible to upgrade the laptop parts.
  The Sat 1115-103 seems to be a mobile American.

  1.) usually the CU upgrade is not possible. Seems that you can only use the Intel Mobile Celeron up to 1,8 GHz

  (2.) the RAM can be upgraded up to 512 MB (2 x 256 MB). You can use the SODIMM, DDR PC2100 modules as Kingston KTT3614/256 256 MB PC2100 DDR SDRAM module

  (3.) the laptop came with 20 GB. Am I wrong? In my opinion, you can use the 2.5 ", 9.5 mm hard drives up to 40 GB.

  4.) graphics card cannot be replaced. It is fixed on the Board!

  5.) I am not 100% sure if the laptop supports a Wlan minPCI card slot but worth case you can use a USB WiFi key to connect the laptop to the Wlan.

• Question about Satellite C55 - has battery

  My battery is never charged over 59%. It says "plugged in, load", but no. load more than 59%. C55 - A satellite

  One of the reasons why the battery doesn't charge. could be activated Eco charge mode.

  More details:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/items/FAQ/847

  But I think that if you have already activated this option, the question might be linked to the failure of the battery.

  The laptop is still covered by the warranty?
  If Yes, you can try to contact a service center to verify and if necessary to replace the battery.

• Question about Satellite 5100

  Hi all..

  I have the Toshiba Satellite 5100 and I have a small problem that is with the LCD sub that I have on my laptop... the problem is that the sub LCD should display 'welcome' when I start my laptop and "good bye" when I turn of and it should display the date or anything else that I have chosen to write for the use of the computer... but the problem is when I start my laptop... the LCD screen keeps displaying "Welcome..."
  I know it's a silly question... but I love very much my cell phone and I want it remains perfect... so I'm annoyed by stupid little things like the problem, I wrote...
  so, if someone can help me please... I would be very greatfull thaaaaaaaaaanx

  Hello Meisoon

  AFAIK in Toshiba control properties, you can set that should display the SubLCD. It can be set to the clock or the own channel. It is unclear to me that you can use two different channels and that they can be displayed separately according to the market or off.

  If you find out how it works, please write again.

  Good bye
