• Satellite A50-522: what drives are compatible

  Hello

  I have the following problem, could someone help me thank you
  I have a toshiba satellite a50-522 and the hard drive seems to be dead

  While I was looking to replace.
  So here's the question; Where can I find a list of the compatible HDD with the laptop?

  Thank you

  Hello

  To my knowledge, Toshiba provides official information on hard drives compatible.
  But don t worry buddy. I think I could help a bit.
  Always is that the Satellite A50 was delivered with the 40 GB drive HARD IDE (ATA-6)
  Therefore, you need to use hard drives that support the IDE!
  The SATA drives are not compatible!

  Now a few words about the size of the HARD drive. Laptops BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation and not all HARD drive sizes are supported. But I think 60 or 80 GB would be compatible so just testing everything.

  Best regards

• Question about the extension of RAM for Satellite A50-522

  Hello

  I have a Satellite A50-522, with a Pentium M 715 @1. 5 Ghz processor and Intel 855GME chipset. To expand its RAM I referred to the Spain/Toshiba support website and I bought the PA3313U-2M1G (1 GB SDRAM 166 MHz DDR333/PC2700) via amazon.com. It turns out that this RAM is for "Alviso chipsets" - which are those relating to the Intel Centrino processors with 9xx series express chipset. I called Toshiba/USA and they recommend the PA3313U-1M1G or its equivalent Kingston KTT3311 / 1 G (since it is impossible to find in the Mexico), instead of the one I already bought. They all seem exactly the same thing in their description, except for the note "alviso chipset.

  My questions are:
  (a) is the chipset of this computer, considered "alviso" type? and
  (b) if not, should I keep the RAM I bought already (PA3313U-2M1G for alviso chipset)?, can I have performance or compatibility problems? What are the risks of the use of this "alviso RAM' in a 'no-alviso chipset? I deeply appreciate your input.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  The RAM modules for especially for chipsets alviso are not known to me, but the Satellite A50-522 certainly supports the memory PC2700 PA3313U-1M1G bar.
  I guess the PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G are the same modules from memory.

  PA3313U-1M1G and PA3313U-2M1G memory module are supported the same specifications of 1 GB - SO DIMM 200 pin - DDR - 333 MHz PC2700

  I think you can use both modules without any problem.

• Satellite A50-522 Powermanagement problem

  Hello

  I am an owner of the Satellite A50 - 522 Centrino. A few days ago I reinstalled my laptop with an original Windows XP Professional, I do not use recovery CD. After that, I reinstalled all the drivers 'tools and Utilities CD-ROM.

  Now, I have a problems with power management. When I put portable mij on MS (= battery) the speed of the CPU must get variable, which is work Centrino. If you do nothing, CPU speed must go down (around 800 Mhz), when you need the speed of the CPU (e.g. photoediting) the speed of the CPU must mount (1.5 ghz). But now, the speed of the CPU is continuous high (1.5 ghz, my battery is now empty without delay. The Toshiba Power Saver has the right setting. A reinstall of the drivers-chipset is not the solution, I tried.

  Yesterday, I reinstalled my laptop once again, but now with the product recovery CD. Power management works very well. But I don't want to use the restore with Windows XP Edition family CD, I want to install my Windows XP Professional original with the right powersettings.

  What is the problem?

  Hello

  You will need to install the Toshiba Power Saver utility. It can be obtained from the following web page:

  Equip the relevant details for your laptop get a list of available & commercial pilots.

  Hello Katrien,

  Hello

  Hi have a SA50-522 that im trying to format and install fees the O.S.

  However, the reader doesn´t seen recognize a bootable media (General or dvd´s), it shows a blank media. All other types of General and dvd´s fine work so im not sure that it s working wrong.

  I ve exchanged the optical drive by two others, without success, since the bios displays an error "ide", and I know that other readers are working well in other laptops.
  Since I Don t have the recovery I ve tried discs the recovery disc for a similar model, but I got a blue screen after the recovery...

  Don t bios also seem to recognize usb boot, if im getting a little disappointed with this. :(

  Any ideas woud be much apreciated!

  Thank you

  Hello

  one of my friends has a brand-new Satellite A50-402 and he asked me to help him with the installation of XP Prof

  We have not had any problems, but we did a complete new installation of XP Prof. It was after a large number of question marks in the device, but with the Update Manager the drivers of toshiba homepage, it works very well!

  Could you also do a complete new installation of XP teacher because it is important to install the drivers and QFE patches... in the right order! With an upgrade to XP Prof this order could be choppy confused!

  You can find this order installation on the CD tools & utilities. When the CD starts a html site opens and shows you all of the necessary drivers in order!

  So I hope this will help you!

  There are several ways to know which module memory is compatible and supported.
  You can use a diagnosis too like Everest, you check the user's manual or from Toshiba Web site for details or you will contact the service in your country for support modules.

  I'll try to answer the question: the Satellite A50 should support PC2700 DDR - RAM as the following:
  PC2700 256 MB (PA3311U - 1 M 25)
  PC2700 512 MB (PA3312U - 1 M 51)

• Satellite A50: What disk are supported

  Hello

  my hard drive seems to be broken and I would change it.
  Which hard drive I can use for my Toshiba Satellite series A 50?
  The former was about 60 GB.

  Is it difficult to change the hard disk laptop? I have experience with
  PC, but not with laptops.

  The one who (HDD) should I buy?

  Thanks in advance for your help.

  Ocelin

  Hello

  I m an owner of the Satellite A50. It s unit a bit old but I used only as a portable backup and second.
  In any case, I updated the notebook with 100 GB HARD drive! It works!
  So I guess you can also use a 100 GB HARD drive, but please take a look at the HARD drive interface.
  It is important that the HARD disk supports the good interface. To my knowledge, the HARD must drive supports improved interface IDE (ATA-6)!

• Satellite A50 - BSOD - IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL

  Hello

  I haven't used my Satellite A50 for months and when I just came today.
  He asked me about my Bios setting. So I put the settings to the default values.

  However, when I just load windows I got the blue screen error, IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL 0x0000000A.
  I remembered then the engineerer has changed my Bios setting the last time so that it worked - I changed my HARD drive in a 60 GB hitachi 7200rmp HDD, so they changed the default settings.

  Does anyone know what part of the bios setting I need to change? The version of the bios is 1.40.

  Thank you very much.

  PS. I got same saving mode, but that didn't work either...

  Hello

  Is there a particular setting no HDD in the BIOS!
  The laptop supports the IDE HDD controller and you can not change anything in the BIOS!

  That is why I don't think the BSOD is linked to all the parameters of the BIOS HARD drive
  In my opinion, it could be a RAM problem

  Try to remove a RAM and start the laptop using that one module inside the laptop s RAM slot.

  The question is what type of keyboard language?
  I googled around for Toshiba Satellite A50 432 and it seems that this device is released in Germany.
  What is the German-language support keyboard?

  In this case, you need to change the keyboard language to German also.
  Go to the CONTROL PANEL-> REGIONAL AND LANGUAGE OPTIONS-> LANGUAGES tab.

  1. under the TEXT input AND LANGUAGE SERVICES, click the DETAILS button.
  2. under INSTALLED SERVICES, click Add.
