Satellite A-L50-1FK grainy display

Hello

I'm new to this forum so I'm sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place he. I'm having a problem with my brand new laptop Toshiba L50-A-1FK (for specifications, see link below).

Straight out of the box, the screen was incredibly grainy. While looking at photos or watching videos (using any application, or any source) the quality is simply unacceptable and far worse than my old pavilion g6, which has a few years on this model.

I have it has searched the Internet for solutions and found no help. Drivers are updated, native resolution is defined, tried other drivers, other resolutions, tinkering with windows setings. When connected to tv via hdmi, its still the same if clearly is not a screen problem.

So I contacted the provider, completely, and they sent me a replacement. Exactly the same thing! And I certainly is a brand new model, but the problem persists. Help, please!

For me, it seems to be a fault with he intel chipset hd 4600 Graphics because it would be one that handles just pictures and videos (everything is not 3d) but I've updated it pilot as much as toshiba will allow me.

If you would like more information, let me know. Help is hard to find for this model because it seems that hat it is sold only in the Netherlands (I'm originally from Ireland but completely [a Dutch company] have an Irish site).

Hello

What exactly do you mean by grainy display?
Do you mean the low s display resolution or brightness?
Did you notice differences using the external monitor?

The laptop was equipped with a screen of 16:9 TFT TruBrite HD supporting resolution 1366 x 768.
The 1366 x 768 is possible max for this internal screen resolution and of course, you will notice a difference between the highest resolution 1366 x 768 and another supported by other internal screens.

By the way: the laptop was equipped with the NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 740 M graphics card.
The GPU from Intel that you mentioned above is just a part of the Intel internal graphic unit.

  • Satellite Pro L50 - B - no display at the start of

    Hello

    Problems with getting my L50 - B to initialize display. Everything else is running, but the display won't start at all - I just get a full black screen.

    I tried without success to the following:

    (1) connection to an external display to work
    2 power failure), remove battery and discharge of power of the laptop before turning on again
    (3) turning off and on again

    It's a new laptop (~ 2 months), has been fine until a few days ago. Day 1 of her break, I had to reset hard once, then visualize booted up and laptop was functioning normally. Day 2 of her break, I tried everything above, he finally decided to start random BIOS, so I know that the screen itself is not broken. A few reboots later, it booted up fine and I was able to work on it for the rest of the day with no other problems (I was also able to wake from hibernation and the display came on OK). Day 3 of him breaking (today), I can not work at all.

    Any help appreciated!

    Everything is running

    Does that mean exactly?
    How did you know that everything is OK apart from the screen?

    You said that you already checked the laptop as part of the external display and external display even shows nothing...
    For me, this means that this issue is NOT related to the problem of the internal display, but probably with the other party such as RAM, motherboard or GPU.

    However, the laptop is only 2 months old then contact Toshiba ASP also ASAP... the warranty covers hardware problems and from my point of few this issue is causing my hardware fault.

  • USB 3.0 does not work on my Satellite Pro L50

    Hello boffins.

    I have a problem with the driver for the Intel USB 3.0 eXtensible host controller on my L50 (running Win7 64 bit).

    I recently took my L50 Pro Satelite (PSKK3A-001001) to the repair shop because the blue ports were not running at speeds of USB 3.0 when I plugged a USB 3.0 compatible device (a WD 1 TB HARD drive). When I looked in the device tab "Display connection" Manager, HARD drive showed as connected to the ordinary C220 USB hub which is for USB.2.0. USB 3.0 eXtensible Host Controller has been inactive.

    The technician in the repair shop said:

    + I tested your machine with a new installation of Windows 8 and have been able to achieve speeds to 180 MB/s of my FlashDrive USB 3.0 without problem, which indicates that it is a matter of faulty software. We can improve your Windows 8 machine free of charge if you prefer, but I'm unable to solve the problem in Windows 7. From what I can tell, and what you have experienced, no published 3.0 for Windows 7 USB drivers can recognize the 3 USB ports installed as a USB 3 connection. If you are wanting to stick with Windows 7, I can't guarantee that you will reach speeds of USB 3.0 by using these ports. +

    It's not really good enough, Toshiba. Now, I bought this machine specifically with pre-installed Win7 (because Win8 is rubbish) that I wanted a machine Win7, including USB 3.0 ports. This machine has been published as such, having Win7 installed with 2 x USB 3.0 ports and 1 x USB 2.0. This is confirmed by the page of the specifications of Toshiba here: [http://www.mytoshiba.co.nz/support/computers/satellite/pro/l50/pskk3a-001001/specifications].

    So, my question is this: why this machine is the drivers needed to run it as advertised (i.e. under Win7 with 2 ports USB 3.0 x and 1 x USB 2.0) and if there are drivers for this device available, where are they? I tried and tried the repairman (I guess) but I'm still without a driver to run my USB 3.0 clocked ports. I tried age for the files to be transferred between pending devices.

    Maybe someone can help me find a driver that works or Toshiba will clean up their act and produce a.

    But you have installed Intel USB3.0 driver 2.0.0.102 version, right?

  • Satellite Pro L50 - B - unable to connect at 5 GHz Wi - Fi

    Hello

    I just bought a new Satellite Pro L50 - B and it is unable to connect to the wifi of my company 5 GHz network. It connects well to the 2.4 GHz network, but poor performance on network thaat there.

    Is it possible to get the L50 - B to work in the 5 GHz range?

    Thank you

    Martin

    Frequency of 5 GHz is supported by 802.11 A and 802.11 N
    But if the WLan module is not compatible 802.11 A, then the standard 802.11 N will operate at 2.4 Ghz

    The question is: what are the standards WLan are supported by the integrated WLan module?

    Which module WLan is integrated?

  • Satellite P L50-B-1 1 - wireless and video questions

    Hello

    Yesterday I bought a Satellite P L50-B-1 1. It came with Windows 8.1 preload. I shot this Windows 7 Ultimate.

    However, I can not the wireless to work. I downloaded the drivers from the site of Toshiba, but so far without success.

    The laptop has an AMD Radeon R7 M260 2 MB of graphics card in it, but I can't get that to work either. Yet once I downloaded the latest drivers from the AMD website, but no luck!

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Mike

    Hi again,

    Problem solved!

    I did a search on ther two elements criminalised and discovered that the wireless card is an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3160. After google, I got a set of drivers and a right form of installation package Intel sorted the problem.

    Once I got the laptop online, he then install updates 133! I guess one of those sorted the problem of videocard because I have now no yellow triangles on the Device Manager window :)

    All's well that ends well.

  • Re: Satellite P300-156 - grainy display and vertical lines on it

    Hello

    whenever I have 1st start of the machine, the screen looks grainy and with 1 green line vertically down the right side of the LCD screen.

    When Vista is finished startup (with my white screen), there are a lot of pink coluring on the icon, when I press "start" and it displays programs, etc., the abckground is all pink! Also the web cam settings/opener popup displays the same.

    To get rid off this, I restarted the machine and everything if fine. It is the only way to rectify.

    Last week, I tried again to look into the problem...

    I changed the LCD, drive hard (updated to 320 GB) and updated the BIOS with the latest version of this site. Now it wil has always do the same thing, but after 30 seconds (or almost) it is automatically sorts.

    I really think this sort want someone at - it ideas?

    Thanks in advance!

    Maybe the BIOS update solved the problem. ;)
    Anyway watch carefully what happens in the future.

  • Satellite A-L50-1CU - need info on the resolution of the external display

    It seems an obvious questions, but... could you please tell me exactly the maximum resolution and Hz for the external monitor plugs on this model?
    I need to buy a hi res ips monitor for the edition of photography, and I don't want to pay a lot for something useless...
    Thank you very much
    Marco

    BTW, in the standard memory configuration, can I free memory locations? Or I need to remove the standard memory, substituting it with 2x8GB?

    I don't have this model of laptop, but if it has video HDMI port means that your laptop can offer excellent output video in HD quality.
    In my opinion, you should speak with your local dealer and explain the situation so I hope it can help you choose the best monitor for you. I can also imagine you can take your laptop with you and test it before you buy it.

    According to specification for portable computer, your computer can be upgraded up to 32 GB (4 memory locations).
    To upgrade RAM, you can use the memory modules to follow:
    2GB DDR3L - 1600 - PA5104U-1M2G
    4 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M4G
    8 GB DDR3L-1600-PA5104U-1M8G

  • Satellite A-L50-M6S - question SSD

    Recently purchased by Satellite L50-A-M6S computer laptop. It worked well on standard included HDD.
    I decided to replace the HDD with SSD (Intel SSD 520 Series), previously used in an another Toshiba laptop.

    After the replacement, in the first instance, I can't boot from SSD, proved that the SSD is not detected correctly when the SATA in the BIOS settings are defined in performance, ok, Perfomance mode cut mode, but it's strange in my opinion.

    Then during work, I decided to take a walk and closed laptop cover (configured to display mode "Eve" near the coverage). After I have opened and BSOD occurred. Later that day, same sequence of actions - an another BSOD.

    I analyzed superficially minidumps windows:
    1 dump:

    KERNEL_DATA_INPAGE_ERROR (7A)
    BUGCHECK_STR: 0x7a_c00000c0 (STATUS_DEVICE_DOES_NOT_EXIST)
    DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID: CODE_CORRUPTION

    ...
    MODULE_NAME: memory_corruption

    DISK_HARDWARE_ERROR: Error occurred with disc material
    BUGCHECK_STR: 0x7a_c000000e (required device is Inaccessible)

    ...
    even

    So, as you can see there is problem with SSD. I tried to test this on another computer portable Portfolio, not such a problem.
    Just in case where tested PC memory with memtest86 - no problems found. BIOS update - nothing has changed.

    Any suggestions?

    Thank you.

    P.S. Minidumps - http://www.sendspace.com/file/fff2qg. Are there developers of Toshiba or someone who can redirect this question to them?

    At first, I must say that it is user forum so I don't think someone developers Toshiba can get this question and contact you directly.
    I also use the SSD (non-Toshiba one) with my camera and to be honest, it's a little strange to me to have this kind of problems.

    Can you please tell us which OS you have installed on it? Have you installed original recovery image that you got with your laptop?

  • Satellite A-L50-1DF - sound distortion using HDMI connection

    Hi all

    Recently, I bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-1DF.

    From the beginning, I experienced problems with the HDMI connection.
    When I connect my laptop to another monitor via HDMI more often than not, the sound is tinny and slightly distorted.

    When I unplug the cable and put it in a few times, most of the time solved the problem.
    I used different HDMI cables and different monitors with the same effect.

    Other laptops work fine with these cables and monitors.
    I reinstalled the drivers to display without a bit of luck and will eventually be sent my laptop in for repair.

    Unfortunately, the problem was not found when they looked at it and I'll it back without a repair.

    I have no idea what could be the problem, because it is not found by the repair team.
    The customer service is unfortunately reluctant to me more help.

    Can anyone think an explanation to this problem?

    Thank you very much in advance for your comments!

    Kind regards
    Natasja

    > I have no idea what could be the problem, because it is not found by the repair team.

    This means that the technician did not notice the sound distortion.
    I think that it s very difficult to solve a problem that is not reproducible.

    In my opinion, you should check exactly when this question appears and must try to reproduce the HDMI sound problem.
    You should concentrate on the audio source and the software that runs when you connect the laptop to the external monitor TV.

    Also I recommend that you perform the tests after the system has been recovered to factory settings.

  • Satellite A-L50-1 - distortion of the screen - restart is necessary

    Hi all

    I bought a Satellite L50-A-1of 6 months and 3 months, when the computer is 'ON' and if I move, I sound suddenly get a screen with distortion and I have no choice but to restart my computer.

    I thought it was a driver problem or an unstable version of windows, but as all drivers are up to date and I change anything in the computer, I'm starting to wonder if this isn't just a screen problem?

    * My set-up is described below :*

    Windows 8.1. 64-bit
    Intel Core i7 (2.40 GHz) - 6 GB
    Intel 4600 graphics card
    NVidia GeForce GT 740M

    You have any ide or has anyone already encountered this problem?

    Thank you
    Miloris

    > I thought it was a driver problem or an unstable version of windows, but as all drivers are up to date and I change anything in the computer, I'm starting to wonder if this isn't just a screen problem?

    You can perform a short test just to get more clarity.
    Next time when this issue would seem, you could connect an external monitor just to check if the same distortions would be visible on the 2nd monitor.

    If distortions are NOT visible on the external monitor, the graphics card and the graphics drive isn t the troublemaker, but probably the internal display module is affected.
    In this case, the display should be replaced.

    Where the distortion appears on the external monitor as well as on the internal screen, the graphics card or the driver could cause the problem.
    In this case, you should fistly whole laptop back to factory settings, installation of the image of Toshiba using HARD drive recovery. After that, you should try to install the latest graphics driver.

    If this procedure doesn't help, the graphics card must be verified, but it requires special software of diagnosis.

    This would require additional assistance of service provider allowed that the unit is still under warranty (as you say it s old to 6 months) and therefore, should be set the laptop under warranty conditions.
