Satellite L50 - A - version of BIOS and SSD

Hello world!

I have a question to put to you.

I would buy an SSD (250 GB) and replace the original HARD drive that gives me a lot of problems in terms of percentage usage and if it slows down the laptop.

In the Internet I found a lot of questions on my laptop (Satellite L50 series - L50-A-1CU) and SSD, particularly for the version of BIOS that could not properly recognize the SSD.

Does anyone has installed an SSD on this laptop? What version of BIOS is necessary for correct installation? I have the BIOS version 1.90.

Thank you very much

Enrico

Can you please tell us what SSD you want to buy? I mean the manufacturer and the model.

  • Satellite L50-B-1WF - IDE oucederomsurlesecondport mSATA SSD?

    Dear Toshiba

    I wonder, is the Satellite L50-B-1WF has its IDE oucederomsurlesecondport mSata SSD? Some product sites request this. Or y at - it no mSata on this series either?

    Second question: can I install a slim line internal drive BlueRay on it, instead of a DVD player?

    The L50-B-1WF Satellite was equipped with the 256GB MSATA SSD that is connected to the controller SATA using a Committee of Exchange.

    Second question: can I install a slim line internal drive BlueRay on it, instead of a DVD player?

    I don't think as much I know this unit (or model) does not support slim select Bay feature.
    But this is only my personal opinion because I never tested this extension on common laptop... but I used this slim select Bay adapter on my old laptop Portege... but this device support this feature... While it was possible to replace the STRANGE with a second HDD

  • Satellite L840 - update of the BIOS and the blue screen

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba L840-04f (PSK8LA - O4E007) and installed Windows 7 64-bit.

    Problem: BlueScreen

    Question: I guess it's the dreaded "blue screen of death' and I need to do something to prevent servious problems in the future (I used the laptop slightly for a few days with no problems).

    How to analyze the dump of information to find out what caused the blue screen?

    Or is it better to make it back in the last restore point before the blue screen event? A restore point was made until I updated the BIOS to v 1.80 to 6.20. In addition, Toshiba shows that there is a new version of BIOS 6.30.

    Before the blue screen event I had changed the setting of the 'close' button on/off and made some other minor changes to settings and then I connected a Seagate external hard drive just before the Blue error screen.

    Y at - it suggestions on what steps should I take?

    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    The BSOD appears usually due to software problem or hardware problem.
    You said that you have connected an external USB HDD to the computer just before the BSOD appeared so likely the BSOD was caused by the attached HARD disk who knows

    If that happened for the first time, don't be afraid, maybe it's just a time issue
    But if he appears often, you should study some more and must try to reproduce the problem and the reason

  • Satellite P300 - stuttering with new BIOS and drivers for sound card

    I have Toshiba laptop Satellite P300 (PSPCCE) with Vista and the latest patches installed.
    Everything was working ok until I installed the last set of patches, has been the Tempro alert about them. I installed the new BIOS (3.40) and card drivers his (Conexant 4.83.1.0) and now all the minutes I see spike high CPU spike freezing enemy of system one or two seconds.

    I see in Process Explorer these spikes are caused by the system and that usually means drivers.
    Anyone else noticed something similar since the last update?

    BTW. There are 2 audio drivers to download site, 4.36.10.0 the 25.05.2009. but the file is named 20081201122001 sounds. ZIP and 4.83.1.0 as of the 07.05.2009. named sound - 20090507143928.zip but with a date more recent AI apparently from 2008.

    I think that you should use the most recent version and it s a v4.83.1.0. It seems that the v4.36.10.0 was published also, but in this case, it s always recommended to take a newer version.

    With regard to the system of freezing for a second or two:
    I think that this might be related to some background processes. Perhaps a process that runs in the context of the Vista operating system causes this tiny interruptions.

    Of my knowledge tool Tempro runs in the background and scans the system and HARD drive.
    You can check the processes in MSCONFIG and if necessary may disable some of the trials.

  • Satellite L50-B05D - Windows 7 support and drivers

    Hi all

    Has anyone lowered successfully a L50-B05D Satellite to Windows 7 drivers and everything? I took a look at the website of Toshi at THE and the only drivers for windows 7 for the battery bluetooth.

    After talking with Toshiba support, they said to go to each site component manufacturer to look for drivers that is pretty poor if you ask to be, but anyway there are a few features as Toshiba Webcam and no matter what driver Toshiba system is that guess what? is not the site of the manufacturer (Toshiba).

    Then I read the various reports on drivers Atheros and wifi dropouts so don't know everything either.

    So before I go and spend too much time on a downgrade from windows 7 - has - what someone did that? Anyone know if the material is all 7 compatible Windows or if Windows 8 pilots work?

    Thank you

    You are right. I checked the Toshiba download page to THE and your machine is not supported for Win7 64 bit you want to install, I guess. Do not search for drivers on other pages.
    Theoretically, you can use drivers, tools and utilities available for other models supported for Win7 but you must find what model has same or similar hardware configuration.

    If you want the list here some hardware components such as chipset, display, its LAN, WLAN and we can try to find the right drivers for you.
    With Toshiba specific stuff it shouldn't be a big problem.

  • Cloning of a Satellite L50 - A - 19 p for one SSD

    Hello

    I am new to Windows 8 and the following problem:

    I have a C50-A-19. In want to replace the hard drive with an SSD. I tried some tools, I found the installation key and treid to install a new Windows 8 for the SSD (with a window s8 DVD, but there is no as the key).

    Then I created the recovery media (3 DVDs), replaced the HARD drive and now I can not start on the first DVD. Windows 8 is completely stop, I tried to change the boot order, holding "0" while the start-up and the start menu - it just says, that there is no media inserted.

    How can I get Windows 8 on the SSD? Why my DVD of Windows 8 does not accept the license key?

    Thanks for any help.
    Kind regards
    Heiko

    > Why my DVD of Windows 8 does not accept the license key?
    Microsoft changes the own activation procedure and you will get the key of Windows 8 Microsoft if you buy Windows 8 System. The 8 Windows preinstalled on Toshiba OS would be activated automatically all in the first place the system configuration and the internet connection. Then insert the serial key is not necessary.

    Regarding the startup problem:
    The readers of CD/DVD laser lens is maybe dirty. Try to clean the laser lens with cotton wool trick and liquid alcohol. In the case where it wouldn't help you, you can copy (burn) the recovery disk created using another computer. I had good experience using DVD R TDK discs.

  • Satellite L50 - B - lost touchpad pinch and scroll functions

    One day I realized that I had lost pinch and scroll on my touch pad functions. Do not know why.
    So I tried to install a Synaptics Touchpad driver. This provided the missing functions but got delayed cursor and the sensitivity of the touch pad is limited to a certain place. So I uninstalled the synaptic driver again.
    The sensitivity has published healed but I still had no function of pinching and scrolling on the touchpad.
    So, I went on the download site of Toshiba and learned that the pilot of the ALPS was the original driver.
    I tried to install this driver (as requested for 64-bit).
    The installation seems to go smoothly. After start-up, there is still no functionality of pinching and scrolling and anywhere the driver is found neither in the list programs or added to the 'mouse' screen in the functions of the system folder.

    How can I get that pinch, zoom in and do scroll back to my touchpad functions?

    This looks like interference of program, you will need to perform a clean boot and disable the firewall and antivirus and then try and install the driver. Here is a description on how to perform a clean boot, https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/929135

  • Satellite L50-A-160 does not start after the Bios Update

    Hi, first of all, this is first post.

    I have 2 satellite L50-A-160 with bios 1.1

    Problem: seems to go to sleep after a few minutes, even working on them (even with both)

    So, I found an updated version 1.9, downloaded and running on one of the laptops. the biosupdate tool found matching the BIOS and a race.
    In the middle of flashing, he fell asleep. turned on and not start. What can I do? Recovery options? I guess the same thing will happen with the other too...

    What is the problem with these computers?

    Besides; very poor battery, always shows 0% available and not charging...
    Does anyone have a solution?

    Best regards

    Have you tried to change in Power Options?

    See screenshot and try to change the ones I marked (it can refresh the settings, just change the values) and see if this solves the problem.

    and for the other laptop with no boot, a laptop sleep by updating the bios will surely mess it.

    what I don't understand is why your sleep laptop BIOS update, as far as I know the sleep settings is active then on windows (since this is controlled by windows)
    He does not sleep while in the BIOS you leave 1 year, sleep settings active only after loading windows.

    have you tried to check the time of processor for your laptop? Maybe its overheating causing auto-off

  • Need original version of OS for my Satellite L50 - has

    Hello

    Mohamed Elwekil my name is, I bought PC laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 - A few months ago and I lost all the data and everything was in this laptop, now I want to have this Oem again to download once more because whenever I try to install another laptop Oem tells me that it's not correct OEM for this laptop

    So please what I should do.

    Thank you

    I don't know what model of laptop you have exactly (the complete model name), but I assume that you have had with preinstalled operating system. Can you confirm this?

    Anyway, when you get the new notebook with preinstalled operating system, you can create media bootable recovery that you can use to reinstall the original version of the OS. I'm afraid you don't have it, right?

    Now, if you've lost everything that you have two options:
    1 / to install own OS version
    2 / from the original recovery disk command on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

    At the moment I can't say more than that. If you need more information please post the complete model name.
