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?

  • Re: Satellite C650-16R - problem with cable internet

    Hello

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite C650-16R and legal windows 7 installed so I have not installed all the drivers except the graphics card because the resolution was not good. Now my problem is that I have some missing ethernet controller drivers and I don't know which is which.

    And the real problem is that my internet is not working when I connect it to cable internet. In fact, when I plug in the cable simply does not recognize it at all. As I plugged it in nothing. And I don't have any network connection, I do not have this option.

    I'm not an expert, I know only a little of all of this so if anyone could help me what to do, I would be very grateful.

    If I understand you right that your laptop is, in general, not ready for use if you didn't install anything except the display driver.

    Until we start discussion can you tell me why do you not own BONES. Your laptop was delivered without an operating system?

  • Connection to the Internet by Satellite C650-110

    Hello

    I'm no computer expert, but I thought kind of that set up internet on my new laptop would not be a problem... I have the Satellite C650-110. My NET connection is a connection broadband Virgin hard wire Medis and currently, I connect to the internet vis USB as my old office does not have an ethernet port. I tried to plug the USB into the laptop and it does not work. I also tried the ethernet port screw.

    I tried to set up new connections in the Panel, I downloaded the driver from this site, I phoned Virgin who say that the bandwidth is fine but there is no network LAN on the PC. Is it possible to buy a new PC without a network lan installed?

    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Thank you

    Your laptop's LAN and WLAN cards inside, so it shouldn't be any problem on the Internet connection.

    To check first if it please the Device Manager and make sure that the LAN and WLAN cards are listed under network adapters. Can you confirm this?

    I put t really understand what you do but the connection to the local network is simple. Take the LAN cable and connect your computer laptop o the router. After a few seconds, you should be able to access the internet.

  • Satellite C650 - activation of Microsoft Office pre-installed product key errors

    I recently bought by Satellite C650 laptop comes with Windows 7 pre-installed. However, when I try to enter the 25-character, the sticker Windows 7 product key, in order to validate my Microsoft Office license, it says "the key is incorrect. Make sure you have the correct key, and then retype '.
    I looked on the Microsoft Web site, and the only advice he gives is that I'll have to buy a new product key. Contact microsoft or toshiba to be sorted?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    When you bought your laptop you have been assigned to evaluate office m over 3 months, it was a trial version. Now, it should be bought if you want to use again. You can use Open Office:

    http://www.OpenOffice.org/

    OpenOffice is a suite of open source leader for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers.

    Finally and above all the product key on the lower side of your laptop belongs to the pre-installed Windows version and has nothing to do with Toshiba.

  • Waste of space on the hard disk on the Satellite C650 - 15 X

    Hello

    I found a problem on my laptop Toshiba Satellite C650-15 X (almost new), I bought several months ago. It has a drive hard 500 GB volume in 2 partitions: C and D-with 250 GB each; and Windows 7 Premium 64-bit operating system.

    There is something strange about the partition D: it is 225 GB of missing! After scoring all of the files in the partition D > properties, there are only 25 GB in use and really little or no free space! There isn't any system or other files with this 25 GB. More than 220 GB in partition D is simply disappeared.

    C partition looks normal. Tried all known Windows tools: check disk, defragmentation, convenience stores, etc. without results. Any suggestion or idea what s happened past and how to fix it? Thanks in advance!

    Can you please open Computer Management > disk management. Make a screenshot and post it here.
    I would like to see exact HDD structure.

  • Satellite C650 to TV connection

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite C650 and I'm trying to connect my laptop to my TV, I am using a VGA-HDMI cable but have had no success. I went through the * control panel / appearance and personalization / connect to a screen external display * options, but I can't seem to find the TV anywhere.

    I have only one option of * mobile PC display * and cant seem to change since the * generic PnP monitor * choice.
    I can get to the graphical control panel intel tells me that this monitor and tv settings are not taken care of, this means that it is not possible to connect to a TV with this particular laptop or I can download a driver that would perhaps allow me to do?

    In General, each laptop with video output port can be connected to the TV. All you need to do is to use a video cable, and remember, it can be connected to your TV.
    If your laptop doesn't have HDMI but VGA port and your TV has PC (RGB/VGA) port that the use of this cable. Using your VGA to HDMI, I assume that your computer laptop doesn't recognize TV at all. It is sometimes problematic with these cables.

    Has your TV as PC port?

  • Satellite C650-1CR - no webcam showing in Device Manager

    Hello

    I apologize if this question has already been posted. I have a Satellite C650-1CR; PSC08E-029001EN part number; Serial number 7A370192Q. Windows 7 64-bit operating system.

    The webcam, which has worked before, does not now in any program. In MSN it says I have no webcam; in Toshiba Face Recognition, he says camera failed to initialize. I have nothing to this fact - it has just stopped working. If I click on the Toshiba web camera application in the utilities section, nothing happens. The camera does not appear in Device Manager - there is no device images shown.

    I read through the advice here and you have downloaded the driver here, but that does not open. He goes as far as the extraction of the file, but then it will not run or open. I have the latest BIOS (update from Toshiba a couple of days). If I can avoid it, I don't really want to use the recovery disk I have many other things on my laptop that I don't want to lose.

    Any advice or help would be really appreciated. My son just moved to Australia, and it would be great for me to be able to use the webcam. I hope I gave enough information on the laptop and the problem.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Linda

    Hey Buddy,

    So if there is no webcam listed in Device Manager, you must check the installed programs in Control Panel > uninstall a program. Usually the webcam software should be in there and if yes remove it. Then, restart your computer.

    To remove all also run a registry cleaner like CCleaner which can remove old registry keys. It s freeware tool is therefore no problem to find using Google. After that you have to reboot your laptop again and then install the latest webcam software from the official page of Toshiba.

    Even after restart and you should be able to use the webcam again. Can you confirm this?

  • Satellite C650 - battery problem

    Hello

    I've got this Toshiba Satellite C650 about a friend who gave me it reinstall Windows7.

    Before you reinstall, I noticed that the laptop has not activate on battery. When I pluged the charger he started and it started once ran on battery without any problem. Also, when it is turned on and that the charger is removed the battery icon do not show how much time left and show unknown time remaining in place.

    When I reinstalled Windows does not solve the problem.
    I've updated the BIOS, but still does not solve the problem.
    I started to think that it's a hardware problem.

    The laptop is new - age one month.

    I'll be very grateful if someone could help me or point me to the solution of this problem.
    The laptop is still under warranty, but I decided to ask here first and here are some other opinions.

    Thank you!

    Try this:
    Remove and disconnect the battery and the AC adapter.
    Now let and don t touch the laptop for some time (2-3 hours)
    Then press and hold the power button / stop along 30 sec.

    Now connect the battery and the AC adapter and keep it charge until the battery indicator would turn to green (or blue)
    Then turn on the unit and check how it works.

    PS: its always recommended to calibrate a new battery, that means that the battery should be completely discharged and recharged until 100% was achieved.
    This procedure should be repeated several times in the line

  • Satellite C650-107 - CPU Upgrade

    Hello

    I have the opportunity to acquire a new processor which should be compatible with the support of motherboard of the laptop, but I wonder if it will work even on the laptop. Computer laptop is Toshiba Satellite C650-107, it comes originally with i3 - 330 M, but I can develop i5 - 530 M. Intel story confirms that both processors use the same socket as have same TDP so cooling should not be a problem. Can someone tell me if the BIOS will load the upgrade or the laptop does not work even with the processor?

    BTW, material is out of warranty, so this isn't something to worry about.

    Well, since I had some free time, I disassembled the C650-107 and replaced the CPU. I made a mistake, it wasn't i5 - 560 M, 530 m. It works like a charm, if anyone is wondering if it still works, it does not, no problem what-so-ever. I just put a few stress tests to make sure that it works without overheating and maximum temperature, I noticed then was 80 degrees celsius it is within the Intel specification.

  • Satellite C650 - stuck with the underscore and black screen boot

    Model: satellite C650

    Operating system: windows 7 Home premium

    Problem: when I try to turn on the computer I see the Toshiba screen and then a black screen with a underscore that blinks several times then stops, and the computer is blocked like that. The fan seems to be working. I can't go to mode without failure or boot options, even if I press f8 or f12 nonstop.

    Last time I started mode, I was stuck on the screen but the connection keyboard touchpad did not work and I couldn't stop. After that I have the strength of closing down and try to restart stuck like that. No beeps or anything like that.

    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Satellite C650 cannot start Windows

    Hi and thanks for reading this post.

    I had a Satellite C650 laptop with Windows 7 and inside the h2o bios, works fine for about a year now. The problem, as this post came yesterday when I was using the laptop as usual. At one point, it seemed that the computer worked very hard (fan noise, could not click on anything) and it lasted about a minute or two until what I tried Ctrl + Alt + Delete, who don't do anything. 5 minutes later an error window pops up saying that CTRL + Atl + Del could not be run at this time. I could not click on anything whatsoever and a s Malwarebyte (anti-malware software) had opened, although I couldn't read what he says since I couldn't click on anything. I held the power until the computer closed and proceeded to restart.

    A window asking me if I wanted to start windows normally, I said yes, but after the Toshiba usual loading screen, nothing happened (blue screen dark without the usual windows start icon) I left it running for 15 minutes, but still nothing. He retried a couple of times off the computer with the power button (this time is not to ask me if I wanted to run windows normally) and still the same thing.

    For some strange reason, I can not start mode safe mode using f8 because f8 simply do nothing. Tried the f2 boot configuration, but nothing seems to be no relief at the moment.

    Thanks a lot if you can provide some tips on how to solve this problem.

    -Vincent

    Hello

    Pressing F2 should allow you to access the BIOS.
    The F2 key must be pressed immediately after that the laptop has been powered.
    It work? You can access the BIOS?

    If this is not possible, you can pass the hypothesis that this could be a hardware problem.
    In the worst cases that the motherboard may be affected or device connected to the motherboard as RAM.

    Solution? Good RAM could be verified using new modules, but if you have no spare parts available for this test, then I recommend to ask a technician for verification of material.

    Your warranty is valid? If so, don t waste time and get in touch with the service people.

  • How to connect my Satellite C650 TV with a HDMI cable?

    Connect my laptop with my TV?

    I have satellite C650 laptop that is not that old, but ive connected my laptop to the TV using a HDMI cable and it does not work.

    The TV is a samsung 1080 p one, I would be grateful for some advice.

    Thank you very much

    Claire

    Hello Claire

    I assume you are using your laptop with original operating system preinstalled that you got with your laptop, so it should work without problem.
    Connect your laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable. If your TV has multiple HDMI ports please allow good port on the TV and after doing this FN + F5 key combination use switch from laptop to TV.

    When you use the FN + F5 key combination you see several options, including HDMI option?

    Hi ralwat,

    Interesting, but what operating system, do you?

    I put also t know what the problem is exactly, but you should check if there is a newer version of the WLAN driver on the official website of Toshiba. The problem is maybe a problem of driver driver update would be useful:

  • 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. ;)
