Re: Can I start on my Satellite L650 SD card slot?

Hello everyone,

I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop computer and I am satisfied with this laptop. I use Ubuntu 10.10 and his works fine... no problem with built-in hardware like WiFi, Ethernet etc...

But now I just tried to boot from an SD card in the SD card in the right slot, but it does not work.
At the time of startup, I pressed F12 for the Boot menu, but I tried: floppy drive, USB, etc... all, but it does not boot from the SD card.

The SD card is already formatted as bootable. Is there a way to boot from the SD card slot? My old netbook (Aspire One D-150) could boot from SD card with no problems...

My BIOS has Version: 1.90

I'm sorry for my bad English and I hope you could understand my problem :-).

Best wishes

kneecap!

I m afraid card SD is not provided as a bootable device on this model of laptop.

  • Equium A100: Can I use the MS Duo in the card slot?

    Hello dear friends T!

    IM expieriencing some difficulties with the PORTABLE THOSHIBA (EQUIUM A100) computer CARD READER.

    It supossed to be compatible with sd cards / ms duo/duo pro, etc., but in fact he only reads my sd cards...

    The problem with my mobile (from my sony ericcson) ms duo is the following: I insert my stick into the adapter and then im tring to stick the adapter with the stick in the media... card slot inside but opposite to my sd stick that fits perfectly in it, it seems unreasonable "Feelin ' of beeing glued adapter in (if you know what I mean" (: some "klick" sound like for example the one I hear while sticking a sd card).

    I feel as if I would lose the adapter somewhere inside my laptop, then probably, I could, cos you can push in and push in it and all of a sudden, it starts to disappear inside the slot, then (ufff!) u nead a pair really good and kind to the clippers to take him out.

    Hello

    I think that you are not cleared enough!
    For example, the satellite A100-027 supports a multiple digital media card slot.
    This property supports different maps, BUT it does not support the Memory Stick Duo!

    The card reader supports these cards:
    8MB - 2 GB SD card
    photo 16-1 GB xD card
    Memory Stick 8 to 256 MB
    Memory Stick Pro 256 MB to 2 GB
    MultiMediaCard (MMC) 8 MB - 1 GB

    I hope I can clear this problem!

  • No instant Wlan connection at the start of the Satellite L650

    Hello

    I had connection problems with my Toshiba L650 during the past two months.

    I bought my laptop about a year ago (October 2010), and everything worked perfectly until April 2011.
    The first months, my computer will automatically connect to the internet once it starts.

    From April 2011, my computer takes about 2 minutes to connect to a wireless internet connection when I start it, either my home connection or connection.
    Once it does not connect, wireless works perfectly.

    The problem is not a wireless router because it happens with all wireless connections. Also, I tried to update the drivers for the network card wireless (Broadcom 802.11n) no success at all.

    I would be grateful if someone could provide possible solutions to the problem.
    Thanks in advance.

    So, what exactly is the problem?
    The WiFi network connects well, but it takes two minutes until the connection has been established?
    Right?

    Well, it might be possible that something is running in the background of the BONE and so it takes a while until the laptop been able to connect to the Wlan.

    In my case, the laptop needs time to connect to the Wlan because the virus scanner and CCleaner run at startup and scans the HARD disk and the system.
    After that, the laptop connects to the Wlan.

    I recommend the HARD drive recovery procedure that helps you define the computer laptop back to factory settings.

    Then you need to test the laptop once more, in my opinion, this should be done first because it of really difficult to tell if the problem is hardware or software related both recovery would provide more information

  • Satellite L650 cannot start

    Guys hope you can help. My laptop model L650 Satellite fell out of my hands at knee height. When I tried to start again I got the message below.

    PXE - M0F: exit Intel PXE ROM

  • Satellite L650 - 15G - HARD drive starts after 10 to 15 seconds

    Hi my dear,
    Please can someone help,

    I have my Satellite L650 - 15G, I bought 10/01/2010. I have a problem that occurs only with the battery, when I press the power button, I hear the fan starting, lamp wireless, then the lamp light power but not the lamp of HDD, 2 to 3 seconds the laptop closed. If I pressed the power button / stop again after that or I pressed again while the light from the lamp of the hard drive and it will start normally. This never happen when I connect the charger with the battery or when I use it with the adapter only.

    I changed the battery of the Toshiba, but no way. I changed the power management, made adjustments in power management bios (version 1.8 after I updated), disable, enable certain features in Device Manager but no way.

    The more strange that many times it starts normal and other times it does so. Also, this may manifest itself sometimes in long boot times, which means that I sometimes hear fan, see wirless, power lights up and after 10-15 seconds, the hard drive turns on and starts.
    Please help me

    I went to the warranty Center Toshiba in Cairo and they checed on Tester then nothing said abnorml with processor, hard, Rams

    Hello

    And that said the guys from the Toshiba warranty Center that could be? Is it a hardware problem or not?

    To be honest it is really hard to say something about it, but at the moment for me, it looks like a HARD drive or motherboard problem.

    Did you also load default settings in the BIOS after update?

  • Satellite L650-12 q - slow very slow start & preformance

    My laptop is a Satellite L650-12 q with Windows 7 home premium 64-bit, intel core i5 - 43 M and 4096 MB of RAM. It works very well but begins to be a little slow last weekend, I've defragmented it and it got a little better. Then two days ago you 22mins at startup (& login) and an another 7 minutes just to open all programs. It is slow to seriously.

    I have defraged there once again, run the Tuneup Utilities (who says there is nothing to the difficulty to start), run my antivirus & anti-malware and it starts in safe mode. Even to start diagnosis and almost all startup programs off it makes virtually no difference.

    In total, it takes 10 minutes to get from the start 'windows' to my login screen then another 5 to get to my office. If I want to open a document in word or firefox, then yet another 3-5 minutes so he can come and start running slowly. Does not better it's on, but not by much.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's to tell me that it's time to get a new laptop :)

    No, it is not the time for the new laptop computer.
    Of course we don t know how did you use your laptop, what additional software you installed and how you configured OS so in my opinion, better than you can do now is to back up all important data and install the OS by using original Toshiba recovery image.

    After doing this you will own preinstalled OS and everything should be OK again. Please test a few days without changes and post comments.

  • How can satellite L650-170 - I change the language of Windows 7?

    Hello

    How can I change language Windows 7?

    I'm installing first in Dutch and I want to re - install in french.
    When I go to the recovery system, its installation still in Dutch.

    Please someone help me?

    Thanks, sorry for my English.

    Satellite L650-170

    Hello

    As far as I know that it is no longer possible.
    If you have selected the language, you will need to use the language that was chosen originally.

    I not quite sure of this workaround, but check if this m:
    -create a recovery disk (using the software creator on the laptop recovery disk)
    -use the recovery disk to reinstall new OS
    -Check if it would be possible to change the language.

    Hello

    You have installed Win 7 but you didn t install some tools that controls the FN keys!

    You need to install the support card Flash Utility and added value package!
    You can find that both page European driver Toshiba Satellite L500 download area!

    PS: I think you should also check the BIOS settings. Some BIOS contains an option to toggle the wifi.

    In addition, go to-> properties Device Manager card Wlan-> Advanced tab
