Satellite L50 - B - 1 P 1, not Toshiba HDD external recognition

Hi I have a 1 TB external hard drive that I used with my old Toshiba laptop for over a year. It has always worked perfectly. I recently started using my new laptop which is a Satelite P L50-B-1 1.

The new laptop is not to recognize the external hard drive. The first time I used it with the new laptop, it worked fine. Then I plugged it again and it was not appear at all. A few days later, I tried again, and it worked very well. I tried it once again over the last week and it is not at all.

It does not appear in Device Manager. However the blue light is on, on the hard drive, but just the laptop is simply not recognize. I am running Windows 8.1

I just checked with my old laptop and an external hard drive works perfectly with this nature.

Can anyone help with this?

Thank you very much

It's on Win10?

I had a similar problem and re - install the drivers for all of the entries on the USB section in Device Manager then restarting work...

You can also uninstall all of them and then restart and Windows will be re - install for you.

After doing this mine started working again!

I hope that helps!

  • Satellite L50 - A - 1 7 does not start

    A month or 2 ago, I had the same problem. I feel that I can go anywhere with my problem so here is my last hope.

    So first of all, there is a moment that I was using my laptop Toshiba L50 - has - 1 7 during the evening. I put on the mode 'sleep', lay on the ground and go to sleep. The next morning, I decided to use my laptop again, but it wouldn't start. The single LED light that worked was that it was the battery being fed or whatever. Done quite some research and I wanted to disconnect the battery of my laptop but I discovered that the battery is supposed to stay connected. Instead, there is a switch force or something. I just have to go in there with a needle, click and hold the button for 30 - seconds-ish and it would be identical to unload my PC or something else.

    I tried, but nothing happ-ERA and I contacted the online store where I ordered it to help. They have not really give any useful information and I was getting enough. They do not have help me to think about the problem, they just kept saying that I had to return it. I asked how long it would take and if I lose files. They said there is a chance of losing files and it would take more than 3 weeks. I can't really lose my cell phone for more than 5 days! It's quite a disaster because I need every day my laptop.

    In the morning, after that I decided to retry the stop switch to force thingy. I held the Start button and after a 10 - ish seconds there once again. All current progress was saved, and it was as if nothing had happ-ERA since then. I still had on the browsers and file op - en. Quite a miracle and a lot of luck involved. I don't like not how, but this worked so I stopped looking for answers. A day later, the same thing happ-ERA again. But this time, I just closed and ERP - ERA my laptop. This triggered somehow it of sleepmode and it worked again. So that's what I kept the past month. Some days, that I had to reboot my pc for updates but then I just clicked restart instead of shutdown down.

    Now, today I had to go and he gave me a typical firewall error when in the game so I decided to shut it down (for the first time since I had these problems). I come back home and I have the same problem again... Now I have even more scared that it won't start because it is now completely off and no "standby mode". I tried o-p-e-n-i-n-g my laptop once again, by using the switch to stop, but it did not help to get started.

    Hi Sil22

    I'm scared of m that this awakening / power on the subject indicate that there is a serious problem with the material.
    As you mentioned in your post, force to shut down the unit should help to stop/Reset of the laptop where it is hung.

    But as I understand the question, the laptop has been turned on properly and probably in this case this switch would not be very.
    I m not very good if you will be able to solve this problem without the help of additional service.
    In the worst case I recommend you contact Toshiba ASP (authorized in your country service provider) in order to check the laptop for possible hardware malfunction.
    All FSA available worldwide could be found here: http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

    But you issue:
    Even if you have already tried the force stop switch I recommend checking of workaround steps once more:
    Disconnect the power adapter and use a an object from sliding into the hole to support the force stop switch. Please hold switch 10 sec long.
    Then you must also press on and press and hold the power for 30 seconds about

    After that, connect the AC adapter and check if the power light is on.
    If it s ON, then it means that the power supply is provided correctly to the laptop.
    Now press power button again to power the unit in place.

    If it works, well, then I recommend you update the BIOS of your laptop.
    The latest version of the BIOS can be downloaded here:
    http://www.Toshiba.EU/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    Choose the Satellite L50 PSKK6E
    Also Windows system should be updated to the latest state!

    Where workaround is not helpful, I recommend using ASP.

  • Satellite L50-B-211 - Touchpad does not work

    Hi I have a question

    We just bought a Satellite L50-B-211, but the touchpad is not working properly.
    Move the pointer autour is no problem, but the buttons do not work.

    Using the buttons does nothing, left or right clicking has no effect?
    If I want to get the properties of a file right-clicking does not work?
    (two fingers press work)

    The hardware is correctly installed, there is no problem in the configuration of the device.

    Do I have to return the device (before installing our software / config the device to our needs)
    or is this a software bug?

    According to specification for laptop, your laptop was supplied with Win8.1 pre-installed so that all the necessary drivers are installed and all hardware should work fine.

    Try please check all the touchpad settings and check if changing the settings has positive effect.
    What you can try to do is to reinstall the original recovery image and test once more with the factory settings. If the result will be the same, I recommend you to contact your dealer as soon as possible and explain the situation. Ask if you can get the new machine.

  • Satellite L550D R815 - engraver of DVD not recognized in external programs

    I have a problem, my dvd burner is not recognized by external programs such as Ace CD Burner or CdBurnerXP. I can burn DVDs and CDs in windows, but I want the added functionality of these external programs.

    I searched on the site of toshiba for updated drivers, but there are none, and Googling TSSTCORP CDDVDW Ts - l633P Ata Device (this is what is listed under my CD-ROM in Device Manager) gives no useful result.

    If it's any help the device type is listed as: Dvd/Cd Rom and manufacturer readers is (Standard CD-ROM drives)

    All do you know of any other driver that I can use to make accessible to other programs? You can provide any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My Satellite L50 - A - 1 9 does not start

    My laptop can start. The power button does not work and there is not all the light signals when connected to load. Any thoughts? How can I remove the battery.

    The laptop is L50 - A satellite - 1 9

    Hello

    On your model of laptop, you can't remove battery. It is placed under the hood and it should be removed by authorized personnel only.
    But your model has the force to close the holes that you can also use to reset the laptop. How it works, you can read on https://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3C03JR0000R01.htm

  • Satellite L50-A006-Blu-ray is not recognized

    Hello

    I have a portable L50-A006 Satellite with a blu - ray player. I put a blu - ray inside player and nothing happens. I can put a DVD in there and I can play, but not a blu - ray player. Am I missing something? When I open file Explorer, that nothing shows up in the D drive and when I click it the drive door opens and asks you a disc inserted although there is a blu - ray inside player. I tried different discs and I can't get a DVD to play.

    Do I need additional software? I tried using VLC and too, it does not recognize blu - ray in the drive.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Satellite L50-A-111: dimming does not work properly after Win 8.1 upgrade

    Hello

    I have a problem with my laptop computer truebright LED monitor.
    Brightness works correctly, but the brightness variation is not.

    I should be able to choose from a range of 0 to 100% in both, but in gradation brightness that I can not only get up to 10% even though it says its 100%
    because when I level down it says 8,6,5,3,1 level and 0 when I get home eco and when I max he says 10% for 1 second, then 100%.

    Oh and something important, change the brightness variation has no effect at all, I think it's just stuck at 10%.

    But I know clearly that it is 10%.
    I tried everything so far, restore archive and the registry.
    It wasn't even until I restored the registry. I also tried advanced options that once solved this problem for me, tried everything, expect to reinstall the operating system.

    I installed windows 8.1 Windows store recently I don't know if its related.
    All my drivers are up to date.
    Happened yesterday after Batman Arkham City GOTY installing and disabling the Anti Virus, Firewall, etc...

    I don't know what else to try, im really frustrated, I can't handle this without the gradation of light at its maximum. My only concern is to reinstall the operating system did not solve my problems.

    Please give me some info on how to solve this problem, I'll try the registry if someone can help out me.
    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    To be honest I m a bit confused.

    You said that you have upgraded to Win 8.1
    After these updates, you must update all the Toshiba drivers as mentioned on the 8.1 win Toshiba upgrade page.
    On the page of the Toshiba UE driver you can find the installation instructions that will show you how to install / update all drivers.

    This is very important!

  • Satellite L50-A-1CU: new SSD not recognized if SATA is set to the performace

    I changed the hard drive from my toshiba a-1-cu C50, with a 128 GB SSD 830.

    This drive only set on the 'autonomy' work is not a 'performance '.
    (In the performance of the modality, the Bios do not see, or seen once on ten of system startup.)

    This settings in Bios called sometimes "interfaces sata".

    The performances are a quarter more slow (125 MB/s vs. 500 mb/s).

    The hard drive has the latest firmware available.

    There is a solution to finally put on the "performance"?

    Hello

    Indeed, it is very strange question

    However, it would be interesting to know if this BIOS <–>recognition SSD problem appears with the other SSD drives. Have you tested other SSD?

    Otherwise, I think that if this problem would appear with different disc SSD, the BIOS may not be not entirely compatible with various SSD.

  • Satellite L50 - B - wifi indicator is not shut down and does not have uppercase B

    Hi all! I'm new here and I really need your help. Earlier, I had some problems with no Polish signs work as ć, ź, ż, but that has been the problem of BIOS and has be resolved with the upgrade to version 2.0. So now - as in the title - other issues are there.
    1. I change mode between wifi and flight line, but his indicator is always shine (in flight mode too) and never turns off.
    2. I can't do the letter 'B' upercase - shift working properly. I can write letters uppercase.
    3. the combination ctrl + alt + delete does not (Win8.1)

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Greetings,

    Hello, Damien

    Really strange questions.

    I mean all the problems listed are really strange and I would like to know if they exist for a long period of time or you have all the noticed a few days ago. Especially question with WLAN is a bit confusing.

    Thank you

    The GeForce GT 740 M chip graphic (there are two different versions: GK107 and GK208 based on Kepler architecture) supports the PCI Express 3.0 and 2.0 bus architecture.

    The version 3.0 and 2.0 standard provide * complete backward compatibility * with the PCI Express motherboards for the broadest support.

    _For the way_
    The old GK107 chip supports memory of 128bits shader, 810-895 MHz, 384
    The new chip of GK208 is home to 384 shader, to further 980 MHz memory and 64-bit.
    But two support DDR3 memory.

  • Satellite L50 - B - 1 p 1 connection to an external monitor

    I just bought a satellite P L50-B-1 1. When I tried the port RGB (VGA) to connect to an external monitor, the screen of the laptop freezes, the mouse freezes and the monitor does not display the image. I followed the instructions on how to connect the 2 together and selected everything including extended. I have tested the monitor with another laptop and the monitor works perfectly.

    Not something I'd expect from a new laptop.

    Can someone help me please?
    Thank you

    Hello

    Are you using the original pre-installed OS that you got with your machine?
    I m was really asking something like that to happen. Try to turn off your device. Connect the RGB cable and turn it on again.
    Do you use the F4 key to switch between internal and external?

    Did you test using the HDMI port? If so, post it please the results. It will be interesting to know if the same problem occurs again.
