Re: Satellite C50-A-1FW - update CPU i7-3612QM

I would like to know if the motherboard (chipset-socket) to a Satellite C50-A-1FW supports an i7-3612QM?

Hello

Satellite C50-A-1FW motherboard support Intel HM70 Express Mobile Chipset.
Take a look at this page-> PRODUCTS COMPATIBLE Intel
http://Ark.Intel.com/products/67419/Intel-bd82hm70-PCH

You will find processors supported.

But beware: processor upgrade is not supported by the laptop manufacturer. Although the chipset would support the new processor, the BIOS may not support this CPU.

In this forum, you can find many discussions on upgrading processors. In each thread, you will find information that these updates is always risky, and no one knows if it will finally work.

  • Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) - update CPU and chipset

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAF4A) with a processor Intel Celeron M 540 (1.86 GHz) and a Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family.
    I upgraded the RAM, but it's just not enough performance for me as its limited to 2 GB.
    I know that Toshiba will not admit it, but I've heard people have updated this type of processor before. I can't afford a new laptop altogether but will settle for upgrades I get.

    My questions are;

    Are there companies in New Zealand that can upgrade my processor and/or my Chipset?

    I also noticed that space to the second HDD has no media or in any case to add another HARD disk, is it because of my laptop or is it a manufacturing defect?

    Are there also companies who can add these mounts to my board so I can have a second HDD?

    First, the chipset is not extensible. It s soldered onto the motherboard and can't be exchanged. In addition, on the CPU upgrade, you should read this article that I founded in the area of the FAQ:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm
    The point is that the new processor must be supported from the motherboard, BIOS and chipset and it is not so easy.

    Install a second HDD is not a problem if you have a second connector to HARD drive (I know SATA) in the second HARD drive Bay. I think some of the Satellite Pro A200 models were fitted with a second HDD and some other laptops are not. So if you have the connector in the Bay, you can install an additional HARD drive.

  • Satellite L40 - 16 d: update CPU & PC card question

    Hello

    I have Satellite L40 - 16 d PSL48-E and I want to know who is the fastest processor I can put on?

    In the upper right corner, I have a dummy card. What can I put on this decision?

    THX

    Don t think you could improve the laptop with a faster processor due to overheating problems. A faster CPU produces more heat, and this leads to overheating.
    But as I know the Dual-Core CPU T2310 1.46GHz was installed on this notebook.
    Theoretically, an another Dual-Core CPU could be inserted but practically it of desirable and in most cases the wouldn t stable performance specifications.
    Last but not least, you will lose the warranty!

    With regard to the issue of card slot;
    Well, some Web sites said that this laptop runs the Express card. That is why it s an ExpressCard slot ;)

  • Upgrade CPU on Satellite C50-B-15 b

    Can someone help me find the right compatible CPU intel for Satellite C50-B-15 b.

    Hello Simon

    Update CPU is not supported, and these updates is not recommended for many different reasons.
    Each laptop model has adapted the cooling system providing adequate and effective protection.
    A more powerful processor means more heat and automatically higher risk for material.

    A very useful document, you can find here.

  • Satellite C50 - update Windows questions

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite C50 windows 8 year last for my partner (who has the patience of a gnat and click on everything and nothing), when windows updates were installed on a month ago, she lost the office link, she kept flashing on and outside. She managed to access the Internet through internet Explorer tab (only for the bingo & ebay lol).

    An other recent windows update took forever to load then a failure to configure changes return messages that froze the laptop.

    Yesterday, I managed to return to the default value, all settings, after all personal preferences, I went to update the page to change the settings to apply updates before installing, and he said he had to be updated before choosing the updates!

    I'm back there again and I was wondering if there was a specific update that is causing all this trouble. Although my bank balance is looking better, I'll throw this lappy in the bin and just buy another!

    Help, please. Thanks :)

    Hello

    In general, I agree with the view of s IronMan.
    The point is that you can always set the computer laptop initial configuration using the recovery procedure.

    After this procedure the system windows will install updates from Microsoft.
    This may take some time and the unit must be restarted several times during this procedure.

    A system update will install before other updates have been installed.
    Therefore, this process could take a little longer.

    In addition, you will need to update to the latest system 8.1 Win the old Win 8.
    This can be done after have installed all updates to Win 8.
    The Win 8.1 update should be done as recommended by Toshiba.

    The complete step by step instruction can be found here:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/generic/windows8_1-message/

    You will be also informed about updates of Toshiba Toshiba service station preinstalled.
    In this case, it will be very easy to get the latest version of the driver.

    I hope this helps a little

  • Satellite A-C50-1JU - manually updated BIOS

    Hi Forum,

    is their any chance of updating the bios manually? The laptop is a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-1JU with part number: PSCJEE. The Toshiba Service Station brings to each time a service error. Another update from the site Web DM10S140.exe crashes every time. I tried the compatibility mode, startet it as administrator, but never the actual accident itself. Operating system windows 8.1 and anti-virus is disabled. What I have now? Thanks for any help.

    Edit, sorry postet in the wrong section please move: (.)

    I think Toshiba Service Station is a tool not so important but interesting. If your laptop works well and stabile you don't need updates. Maybe it sounds silly now, but I use two laptops from Toshiba with the factory settings and without updates. The first is 5 years old and it is running Win7. The other is model Tecra, 3 years and also preloaded with Win7.

    All I have install Windows are updated. The first thing I did after installing recovery image is the deactivation of these tools like Toshiba Service Station.
    Believe me, you can live without it.

    In the end I have to say that I'm also sure that updating the BIOS won't help you any. The BIOS update has nothing to do with the Toshiba Service Station feature.

    Is there any point in asking a question. For the most part 0 replies here!

    However, I need drivers update for my SATELLITE C50-A-19 t as I upgdd to Win10 and it already broke down. The form of drivers Toshiba only allows me to add drivers to w8.1.
    How can I do this?

  • 19 satellite C50-A-t - Touchpad does not

    Hello world
    I have a Satellite C50-A-19 t and I don't know why my touchpad don't respond often. This happens several times and is boring... How can I resolve this you problem?

    Thank you

    This should not be a touchpad issue.
    Test the same functionality as part of the external USB mouse.
    In many cases, the cursor would not respond because the system stressed.
    In the case of the background process stress and burden the CPU, the touchpad or mouse couldn't answer.

    But it's one of the possible reasons.

    Another reason for this problem could be the problem of the touchpad driver.
    This would require an update or the new installation of the touchpad driver.
    Usually the latest Synaptics driver is downloadable from the page of the Toshiba UE driver, but you might also try a newer version of Synaptics page:

  • Satellite C50-B-13D - cannot install display driver

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite C50-B-13D. I had to reinstall my OS Windows 7 Professional 32 Bit. Now, I have a problem with the drivers. For example, I can't install the display driver. After that I give the permission to make changes on my computer, the error message "this computer is unresponsive to the minimum requierments to install this software. Does anyone know what I can do?

    As I'm not mistaken Satellite C50-B-13D does not dedicated GPU, but the laptop was equipped with the Intel Celeron CPU of N2830 supporting the Intel HD Graphics 4000

    If you need to install the display driver Intel HD 4000.

    Usually, you have two possibilities to install the driver.
    You can run the installation.exe (setup.exe) file, or you install the driver in Device Manager. I recommend you to choose option 2 in the case where the standard procedure done functions.

    The Toshiba UE driver page driver must be decompressed.
    You will find in the folder display-20140528122046 the TC40214900E.exe
    It is a zipped file. Right-click this file and choose "unzip here".
    Now, you will get another folder TC40214900E where you will find all the driver (dll) files.

    Next step: go to the Device Manager, choose graphics card, and then click the driver update/installation
    Now choose the "Advanced" installation option and point to the folder of the unzipped driver.
    The system will get the files automatically, and you can complete the installation.

    That's all.

  • Satellite C50-A-1CK double characters appear when you type

    All the
    I have a new Satellite C50-A-1CK which is perfect for my needs, EXCEPT that I get continually double characters appearing on the screen as you type which is:
    A. VERY frustrating
    (B) waste a lot of time because I have to keep correcting words to remove duplicate characters.

    Please someone know of a fix for this? It can affect any key on the keyboard, and no matter if I type slow or fast, press firmly or as light as possible.

    To check for updates to the firmware, but none is available.

    Thanks in advance!

    From my experience, that the problems of characters double have been solved by BIOS updated.
    That's why I recommend you update the BIOS (if possible)

  • Satellite C50 - secure boot not configured correctly build 9600

    Hello

    Recently bought a refurbished nine Toshiba Satellite C50 8.1 of windows operating system. Was very happy with it but found the message 'not properly configured SecureBoot 9600 building "watermark in the lower right corner of my office. '.

    Decided to search the Internet for a resolution and after being gone on 3 Troubleshooting sites, discovered on the necessary BIOS configuration, but he warned that it was for experienced users who know their stuff on the technical aspects of computers. While I am computer literate, I'm not someone who likes to mess with the advanced options. Then, I came across a reliable computer blog that had a detailed post on SecureBoot.

    (Link to the blog post and specfic):
    www.techrepublic.com/blog/Windows-and-Office/deal-with-the-secureboot-isn't-configured-correctly-watermark-in-windows-81/)

    I thought that that would solve my problem, and I have to admit that he helped, telling me to use windows powershell as a precaution before using the BIOS Setup. I was glad I did as it came in saying that I have a policy of SecureBoot of the present failure on my laptop which case I have to request technical support for a specific system solution that would generally be an update of the firmware.

    I tried to call, but the line was busy and estimated it might be easier to post this question on a forum.

    If anyone has an answer please help as I would like to really activate SecureBoot if possible, I believe that computers must be set up with the best possible security options and makes me feel comfortable in knowing that it is implemented safely.

    Someone commented on the blog and posted this solution:

    The fix for the registry to remove the watermark is as follows.
    1. start the registry with the Admin (C:\Windows\regedit) rights Editor
    2. navigate to the following location
    -> HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE-SOFTWARE-Microsoft-Windows-CurrentVersion------policies------system.
    3. here, the two values "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin ' and 'EnableLUA 'the value' 0'.

    You can also try to activate the boot option secure in the BIOS (in which case it is not already selected)
    To enter the BIOS, press F2 during the turn on/off the device.

    Also recommend that you check this page from Microsoft:

  • Satellite C50 - A - 1 7 - battery stopped charging

    My C50 is a battery problem. A few weeks, it stopped charging. He began to load (as seen on the windows startup icon) slowly to 61% then zipped to 100%. But since then, the computer does not work on battery power. The charging light does not illuminate (, but has then before). Because all intends and purposes, it seems that there is no battery present, except that the software (windows and toshiba help stuff) insists it is a fully charged battery.

    Now, it's probably a defective battery or connector, but to avoid going to the shop unnecessarily, I would check if there is an update of the bios available. Since it is a relatively new, maybe not, but the toshiba site is not the clearest. Anyway I couldn't find any update of the bios on the pages for Satellite C50 - A - 1 7.
    My bios is currently 1.20 with EC version 1.00

    TNX

    To be honest I don't think that the BIOS update can be the solution for this. Anyway, you can check what version of BIOS is available on the download page for BIOS - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_bios.jsp

    I'm afraid, you must contact the nearest Toshiba service Mr. they have special tools and can check the operation of the equipment.

  • Satellite L505-10 t - upgrade CPU

    Hello
    I own a Satellite L505-10 t and want to change the CPU with a more powerful model. What are the processors supported today?

    Update CPU is not supported and if you do something like that, it's at your own risk. Toshiba has created a document on this subject and you can read it on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

    Also very important is that this action will void the warranty. In my opinion, it is not good idea. In General, the performance of the processor can't be so bad and what you can do is RAM and HARD drive upgrade. RAM can be upgraded to the maximum level and the HARD drive can be swapped with fast SSD.
    I did it on my machine and the performance of the laptop is just amazing. Two upgrades are supported by Toshiba and you can do it ourselves.
