• Satellite C650 won't turn on / boot (black screen only)

  I am having trouble with my year old Satellite C650. In fact, when I go to turn it on it just won't. The power led on the front of the laptop turns on and the fan starts whirring (only to stop a few seconds later), but there is no change to the screen. I tried to take out the battery, restart, connect, disconnect - basically everything I can think of, but nothing made a difference.

  Can anyone think a possible solution? I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, but I have a horrible feeling that it looks like this...

  Thank you!

  I'm scared of m its hardware problem.
  My advice would not apply to a Toshiba service provider in your country that would check the parts.
  Your laptop doesn't seem to be old so maybe the warranty is still valid and the fix could be done free of charge.

• 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:

• 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?

• 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?

• 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 - Windows does not start correctly

  I have a Satellite C650, who does not start, when it lights there are two options, Startup Repair launch which leads to a black screen and mobile arrow, the screen remains like that until you turn it off the button stop (seriously ive left for about 10 hours). The other option is to start windows normally resulting in a blue screen and the laptop restarts itself.

  Help me please, make things worse I can't find the box that it came in which contains the guarantee and recovery disc

  Hey Buddy,

  You can start your laptop in safe mode? This means that if you press the F8 key before Windows starts and you choose Safe mode can you start Windows?

  If this isn't the case I think that it s something wrong with your Windows installation and that's why you need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings.

• Satellite C650 - black screen after BIOS update

  My Satellite C650 Windows 7 - won't start afte BIOS update / switch.

  Everything worked very well until the automatic update of Toshiba asked me to download and install the new BIOS update, I did. At the same session Windows and McAfee asked updated. I agreed to all. After all updates have been installed, turns off. The next day when I walk, I see only black screen. I also tried F2, F12 and drive recovery. Nothing happens!

  Any recommendation?

  Hey,.

  It seems that something was wrong during the update of the BIOS and so that you can t the computer unbootable. But I put t understand why you did the BIOS update. If everything works correctly, you can forget about this update. More if you do a BIOS update you shouldn't t run any other updates or programs that might affect the update of the BIOS.

  Anyway, in this case you can do nothing and you need professional help. Please contact an authorized service provider and guys can help you update the ROM module On the Web from Toshiba site, you can find a list of all the FSA:

• 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.

• Satellite C650 - guarantee for the new buyer?

  I bought a phone of monthly contract in August 2010 and received a free Toshiba Satellite C650 with the phone. I did not use the laptop as it has been received and decided to sell it on. I had two people survey if I sell this with a guarantee - I looked at the information booklet that comes with the laptop and it says there is a limited with it.
  The potential buyer is able to take over the guarantee of this laptop? It has not been turned on/enabled or saved?

  It says that it comes with a 12 month warranty, so assume the warranty will be valid until August 2011.

  Hi lilioon_1,

  The warranty is not according to the owner, it s according to the model of laptop or s let the serial number. This means that if you have the laptop in August 2010, the laptop has a valid warranty until August 2011. Indifferent using the laptop.

  If you can sell and the new owner can always use the warranty.

• Satellite C650-17Z - only PXE error message no boot device

  Hi people I was wondering if anyone of you kind people out there could help me. I have a Satellite C650-17Z model and when turn on is the message I get:

  + Intel UNDI, PXE - 2.0 (builkd 083) +.
  + Copyright (C) 1977-2000: Intel Corporation.

  + For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller v2.0.1.9(12/15/09) +.

  + Check the cable connection! +
  + PXE - MOF: exit Intel PXE ROM. +.
  + No boot device - insert boot disk and press any key.

  Can anyone any sense of the message above?

  Hey Buddy,

  This error message means that an incorrect boot order is set and the computer tries to start between LAN port to the internal HARD disk space. It should therefore go into BIOS setup and change the boot order. Put the HARD drive as the first boot device internal.

  Take a look at this article from Toshiba:

• Satellite C650 - "no battery is detected.

  Hi all

  (I apologize if this has already been covered, but each problem is different!)

  I have a Satellite C650, bought ~ August 2010. Basically, I have a problem with the battery. It is in place, with the power supply AC plugged and recognized. The two LEDs are green display.

  When the office, however, the battery icon is empty, with a Red Cross and a symbol of feeder on top. Hovering above, it says "no battery is detected."

  The machine seems to work very well and on the normal speed, and there is no other signs to suggest that it is damaged on the screen or on the outside. The only flaw that is a fan that is slow to the "liquidation", but the laptop is not hotter than usual.

  What did I try? Switch off, pull out the AC adapter, and then remove and replace the battery. There is no sign of damage to the battery, or around it. The same question "icon" remains.

  I'm a student, so it is quite essential. In addition, with the AC cord is connected, the unit will continue to operate normally - or die suddenly?

  I'm a bit of a technophobe, so nothing too complicated please-, but all suggestions welcome!

  Thank you

  JW

  > Also, with AC, the power cord is connected, the unit will continue to operate normally - or die suddenly?

  Not sure if I understand this. The laptop will be and should work fine with the AC adapter connected.

  Usually, the battery should charge when the power adapter is connected. If the battery is fully charged, the battery led should go green and recharging must stop.

  However, I would recommend updating the BIOS to see if the battery issue is always available

  If the BIOS update does not help, replace the battery with another compatible.
