Satellite L50 - C starts to make mechanical sounds of cracking

Dear Forum,

I bought a Toshiba Satellite for Christmas and I was very satisfied, until my laptop started to make sounds remarkable. Sometimes, often, when I was game for a period extended (1 to 2 hours), the laptop starts to make mechanical sounds of cracking. These sounds is different from a regular cooler sound. Instead, this looks like a gear in the cooler is hitting something. Is this normal, or should I worry?

Kind regards

Peter

Looks like something is stuck in the fan.
A Toshiba repair center should be able to remove it.

  • Satellite L40 - 14F - can't make my sound card works with XP

    I can't make my sound card works. I tried to install all versions of drivers, but not sound.
    Then I tried installing high-definition sound updated for windows XPSP2 and still nothing.

    Ultimately, when I installed the drivers for another computer, I could see a sound card in Device Manager, but I got! the driver and it says "the device cannot start. I installed a new original drivers and once more, nothing has changed.

    Is there a possible way to solve this problem?
    PS. using Toshiba L40-14 f :-) and Windows XP pro with service pack 2.

    Hello

    Satellite L40 - 14F belongs to the series of PSL4CE.
    XP drivers for this series don t exist on the Toshiba page at the moment!

    I have found that the package of XP driver for PSL48, PSL49, PSL4C and PSL4B model number!

    So, it seems that you simply try to install incompatible drivers!

    If I m not wrong not the device uses the Codec Realtek ALC660 chip and chip high definition audio Intel HDA (Azalia)!

    Check the driver from the Intel page and upgrade the XP to the last State at the beginning

  • Satellite X 205-SLI6 - three makes a sound when I turn on my computer

    Hello

    I think I have the same problem that many owners of computers of series Satellite X - three beeps when I try to turn on and screen, no video then black. I showed the phone to official service here in Azerbaijan, but they could not tell me what is the problem exactly - the video card or the motherboard.

    So my question is - where can I buy NVIDIA® SLI Dual GeForce 8600 M GT video card? I searched internet shops but impossible to find. Maybe you can help me.

    And my next question - if this is someone who could solve this problem by changing the graphics card?

    As far as I know, that you will not be able to get the graphics card separately and where this graphics card is defective will be exchanged the motherboard together. You can check this in Toshiba authorized service provider.

    > And my next question - if this is someone who could solve this problem by changing the graphics card?
    In my opinion, it is quite unrealistic. Would really send your laptop to someone in Europe if you get the answer YES?

    I turned on my brand-new Satellite L50-A-1This for the first yesterday set it up which worked like a charm. Today, as I tried to turn it on for the second time, the screen wouldn't come. Although you can hear the snoring treatment unit and also to see the cursor, the screen remains black.

  • 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-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
    -always in the hope.

    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

  • Satellite L50-A-19N - sound doesn't work sometimes

    Hello

    I am currently the owner of a Toshiba Satellite L50-A-19N and the sound does not work sometimes.

    When I play an audio file or a video or same file while playing a video from YouTube, works well for a while and then suddenly it stops.
    When that happens, his is always recognized the system because you can see in the volume control, but no sound from my speakers.
    The same thing also happens when I connect my external audio interface (M - Audio Fast Track USB).

    I use Windows 8.1
    Please help me, because I use my Toshiba mainly for music production and play.

    > When that happens, his is always recognized the system because you can see in the volume control, but no sound from my speakers.

    Have you tried to connect a headset while this problem occurs?
    Please check.

    In addition, you must uninstall the audio driver installed.
    Then you must reboot the laptop and after installing the audio driver (you can get it from the page of the Toshiba driver) once again.

    Finally and above all, you said that you are using an external audio interface.
    I m not quite sure all these software but it might be possible that these additional 3rd party software could affect the internal sound card / driver. This should be checked as well.

    If possible I recommend you test the laptop without these 3 tools/software audio

  • Quality of the terrible sound on Satellite L50 - has

    I just bought a new L50 - A Satellite, and despite the reviews I found saying that the speakers are great and the quality must be really good, all the audio that I played on it was really intestine and of poor quality.
    Does anyone have ideas why this would be, or how to fix it?

    Play with the equalizer helped a bit, but it's still very far from perfect. It's the same Internet and iTunes, and with the speakers and headphones, so those are both excluded.

    > Play with the equalizer helped a bit, but it's still very far from perfect.

    The Satellite series L50 - A comes preinstalled with DTS® Sound software.

    This software can be used to improve the sound quality.

  • L50 satellite will not start up - request password HARD drive

    Hello

    I hope someone can help me

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L50 and when I start it, it says
    + no boot device please don't restart System.

    It is still under warranty because it was purchased only 6 months ago.
    I took it back where I bought it and they told me to contact Toshiba.

    I'm waiting on a reminder.
    I hope that someone can help you. He also asked that the HARD drive password.

    Where can I find this information?

    Hi Kym

    I guess the L50 Satellite cannot find the boot device (HARD drive), because the HARD drive was obtained with a drive password HARD and without this HARD isn't accessible disk password and the system does not start properly.

    Did you set this password for HARD drive in the past?
    I m request because this isn t password on new laptops. This HARD drive password can only be set by the owner of the laptop

    Of my knowledge if you know n t this HARD drive password, you will not be able to access the HARD disk in such a case, the HARD drive would be useless, and the data would be lost

    That's why I recommend you check if someone put the HARD drive on your laptop password where you n t know the password, you will need to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the system once more.

    It would be interesting to know if the problem will happen again if you use RAM in the first place again.

    Anyway, the key is that everything is working OK again.
