• Satellite C650 - Question about cooling fan

  I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite C650 with processor i3 Intel and Windows 7 Home. When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air (there only the circle mark on the case under the cooling fan). Pls confirm me it is a manufacturing defect or not.

  I also ran a cpu + the base temperature software and find core temp goes up to 72 ° C in one step and I feel very hot blowing through the radiator.

  Hey Buddy,

  > When I see the bottom cover there are no holes for the cpu cooling fan intake air
  Who is normal and it s according to the laptop and the material. Different laptops have different cooling systems. This would mean that there are some laptops with no holes directly under the fan air intake. For fresh air holes are placed elsewhere to generate some air flow. If the other pieces of equipment can be cooled as well.

  There are already some threads here in the forum and as you can see it's really normal:

  How did you check the temperature?
  Always it is if everything works well don t care about the temperature. In this case, that the laptop could overheat, it would off himself to protect the equipment. ;)

• Satellite C650 - 1 CT - sound recording and voice chat question

  I recently bought this laptop and am very satisfied with the performance outside an aspect. I use my computer to save my voice and put it on a CD (quizzes etc.) and also to discuss with people.

  The playback quality is terrible, it sounds as if I am under water and it keeps on popping and the volume varies tremendously. It is also the same for the people I'm chatting, they hardly understand what I'm saying.

  The sound card is faulty or is there something I can do to solve this problem, because if I'm not able to get a decent voice recording, the laptop is useless for me.

  Hi JennyDiver,

  I n t have Satellite C650 so I can t test it for you but you have ever tried to update the audio driver? You can download the latest version of Toshiba's official website:
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  Before you install the latest driver, first remove the old version and restart the computer. Then use CCleaner to remove old audio driver registry keys and restart the computer. Now you can install the latest version of the sound driver.

  In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are using Windows 7 preinstalled Toshiba or if you did your own installation of Windows.

  As already written, I m not owner of such a laptop but maybe a BIOS update would also be useful. It s worth a try! ;)

• Satellite C650 - Question about the capacity of the HARD disk

  I just bought a Satellite C650. The specifications indicate 320 GB hard drive, but the diagnostic system indicates the disk space is 286 GB (free capacity is GB 261).

  Please indicate why this might be the case.

  Hi 12345,

  It is normal that you lose disk space after formatting the drive. 286GB is the normal capacity of a formatted hard drive 320, so everything is ok with your laptop.

  If you want to learn more about capacity on hard drives and need more technical information, why you only 286GB you can read this interesting Wiki:

• New battery for Satellite C650/C650D

  Hello

  I need a new battery for my Toshiba Satellite C650/C650D.
  The battery model number is PA3817U-1BRS. 10.8V (48wH).

  I searched around for buy one online at the United Kingdom and can not find a real one for a reasonable price. I have seem some prize of nearly £400 and I can buy a new laptop altogether with this!

  I know that spare batteries are not as good, but are there you can recommend which would correspond to this model. How time will it last they? Better yet, anyone can locate a real battery online for me?

  Thank you very much.

  Hello

  I m not the United Kingdom and can not you with the links to order online but Googling around you assistance should be able to find the farm of origin for reasonable prices.

  What you can also do is to contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and ask how much you must pay if they order a new one for you.

  What you can also try is to check eBay. Battery for my old A300, I found there. A friend of mine uses non-Toshiba battery. It costs a half price and it's not so bad. How long will he be working properly is another question.

• Satellite C650 - message from the PXE ROM at startup

  My 6 month old Satellite C650 (Windows 7 64-bit) started grippements this afternoon and now will not restart. She gave the following message is displayed after the Toshiba screen:

  PXE - MOF: EXIT INTEL PXE ROM
  NO BOOT DEVICE

  I think that there is a "insert the disk and press a key" after that, but I'm away from home and have not all disks (not sure if there are home either!). So I tried a few off/ons and now does not go as far as the Toshiba screen.

  At a loss - nightmare!

  Obviously HDD is not recognized correctly, but the question is why.
  It's new model of laptop, and you should contact Toshiba service as soon as possible.

• Satellite C650 - cannot access the HDD recovery to restore Win7

  Satellite C650

  Windows partition has been destroyed, I have a copy of the recovery of HARD drive to an external drive, but using a disc of windows7 to start on windows does not recognize the recovery of hard drive as being any information system so will not restore the original windows and Toshiba Utilities.

  Press F8 and keeps O press the button of not raising the the menu with the option to restore.

  No clue as to how I can extract / use HARD drive recovery I

  Thank you

  Problem is this recovery saved disk image external DRIVE cannot be used. In s manuals document is clearly described that the owner of the laptop must create recovery media. This recovery media can be a DVD disc or USB key, depending on the model of laptop.

  What you can do now is to restore disc original order or to install the clean version of the OS with installation of Microsoft disk but it is also not the best solution.

  What do you think of all this? If you have any other questions you are welcome.

• White screen satellite C650 - no Boot Up

  Satellite C650 - no Boot Up - white screen

  This laptop is just over 1 year.

  Laptop screen suddenly went white, he is stopped even if the battery was half full.

  It will charge is no longer and the charging light does not illuminate.

  Does not respond when you press the power button, even using from the mains.

  Is it a common problem with this model?

  It is possible to address the question, what are the steps involved in the process?

  Laptop needs spare parts to fix this?

  Thank you.

  > Is it a common problem with this model?
  Certainly not and something like this can happen on every laptop.
  On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what problem can be. All of a sudden switch OFF may be related to material high temperature and overheating.
  I put t know how I can you use your laptop on battery power, but I hope you don t use it in the lap or bed and the air vents are not blocked somehow.

  Place the laptop on the desktop and check if the same thing will happen again.

  When the laptop turns off and you leave it for a while, can you restart normally?

• Satellite C650 - face graphic without text

  Hello.

  4 laptops on the line. I recently bought my computer laptop replacement as my previous L300 toshiba had a hard drive failure within the warranty? It is a C650.

  its been settled up to my taste and work very well apart from a bit of slow speed... even with a faster processor.
  yesterday, I decided to set the brightness of the screen. This laptop has a different then my laptop L300 driver system. the graphics driver has settings, but you need to change the graphics Control Panel. Once again these slimming down of functions add the tedious nature of the newer machines have also no direct control over the audio either. overall, you can say im disappointed before even I have no problems.

  Back to the question. the graphic Panel. Well, I havnt messed with it since I made the very 1st installation. I have the brightness using a grayscale chart and left a light touch. the function of /control module allows me to turn down the brightness. F6 F7 Bright shining down upwards.
  as the hours of the day change... I opened the graphics Panel to adjust the setting. for some reason the text in the Panel has empty fonts displayed as oblong squares.
  Ive been looking for clues without a bit of luck.
  1. I uninstalled the driver and re-installed without change.
  2 ive cleaned the hard drive and empty manually the Temp folder... all except 1 file?
  3 ive searched the net also with no luck either.
  4 ive checked the Device Manager to search for the missing files. everything looks ok

  any idea? I know that the driver is an Intel and I know this isn't a STD pilot... as usual for this laptop. the system is XP SP3. I have this on my other computer toshiba laptop with no bother. all functions worked fine until recently... which i cannot say when this error occurred. I know that the graphic Panel worked as I used it. (you need to get the right screen using this Panel)... help

  Hi Russ

  After reading your ad I want to be close to you and see what it is exactly you do and what your issue/problems.
  I saw Satellite C650 at my dealer and it seems to be very nice machine so I m really surprised, you have problems with the brightness settings.

  >... for some reason the text in the Panel has empty fonts displayed as elongated seats
  Can you please make a screenshot? I would like to see what it looks like.

  Incidentally: in my view, by default settings, brightness, contrast, color, gamma, and all the other parameters are optimized and perfect level so I m asking you want to change anything.
  Only what we can do is to change the intensity of the brightness and it can be done with the FN + F6/F7 key combination.

  Is it not enough for you?

• Reinstallation of Win7 on Satellite C650-15U

  Hello everyone,
  I have a Satellite C650-15U with preinstalled Windows 64-bit Home Premium.
  Unfortunately, the HARD drive crashed a few days ago. I had the time to save my documents
  and the most important files on a SD extern but I don't have a copy of the HDDRecovery.
  Windows is no longer accessible.
  In addition, I have the laptop for 4 years, the license key sticker is now unreadable...

  So I intend to buy a new HARD drive, but how can I reinstall everything?
  Apparently I can order a DVD of online backup for 35,90 EUR, but does that include the W7 license?
  What is the equivalent of the HARD drive recovery which has been installed on the D: partition?
  This means that I will not need the key because it is on the same laptop and will be ordered with the serial number?

  Thanks for your help!

  When you order the original installation disc of recovery, you will get an original copy of the created for your model of laptop recovery image.
  With other words, you will get the same OS version active that you got with your laptop.

  After installing the OS (recovery disk) your laptop will have once again the factory and recovery image parameters copy on the D partition.

  Believe me that it is the best and easiest for you.

  You can order the original installation disc of recovery on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  > A bit difficult to find identical. (second hand). You know where to find such?
  2nd hand parts, especially good work motherboards are very rare.
  In most cases, these parts not found on some platforms of internet auction where sold people own portable computers.

  New parts are easy to find, but of course, this part would not come cheap. Motherboard went the more expensive laptop and a replacement will be a costly procedure.
  However, these pieces could be ordered in the Toshiba authorized service provider that is available in your country or you could also get such 3rd party dealers and suppliers.

• Satellite C650-191 - Downgrade Windows 7 to XP?

  Can I downgrade to Windows XP from Windows 7 on this model Satellite C650-191?

  Thanks a lot for any help

  Hey,.

  Theoretically, everything is possible because it s your laptop and you can install what you want :)

  Such a direct downgrade from Windows 7 to XP is not possible, that's why you need to do a new clean install. Downgrade is not supported.
  If you need to delete Windows 7 and then you can install XP.

  I checked Toshiba driver download page, and it seems that your model is compatible with XP. This means that all the available drivers:

• Driver RAID WXP Neer and CISS for my Satellite C650 - 10K

  Anyone know where I can find the driver Raid and CISS for my Satellite C650 - 10K?

  Hey Buddy,

  Are you sure you need to RAID or SCSI (not SSCI) for Satellite C650 driver?
  As far as I know this model doesn't support this type of material

  I think that you need drivers for the SATA controller. This package is called Intel Storage Manager and can be downloaded from the official website of Toshiba.

  Here is an interesting article on installing XP with SATA drivers:
