  Any ideas what could cause the problem?

  Thank you

• Satellite L500-1XL - strange Windows 7 error - hardware failure or virus?

  Hi people,

  I am running windows 7 on a Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL.

  About 6 weeks, Windows refuses to load.
  I would get the "Toshiba" screen, then on startup of Windows startup, but then nothing else than a black screen with an icon of the mouse (mobile).

  I could not in safe mode, and Toshiba built in recovery utility would not work.
  "Even using the Toshiba ' product recovery" DVD did nothing, even if the drive was some strange, repetitive clicks for this, so I suspected a faulty hard drive. (Possibly where the MBR has been OK, but the data weren't?)

  In any case, I put in a replacement HARD drive (backups are a wonderful thing BTW!) and DVD recovery charge perfectly and everything seemed fine.

  About 2 weeks later, I had the same problem
  ("Toshiba" Windows startup splash screen, but then nothing but a black screen with a mouse (mobile), no safe mode icon; no recovery utility)

  This time, however the product recovery DVDs worked fine first time.

  Another 2 weeks and the same problem will reoccur; This time, it took another HARD disk for the recovery media to work.

  So my question is, really, what could be causing this anomaly?

  Would it be a virus which is corrupt something that is preventing Windows from loading? And the 'prevention' so that I can not load even the recovery utilities?

  In this case might it also prevent the loading product recovery DVD?

  Or am I looking at an intermittent fault with the connector on the HARD drive that can be either physically damage the drive or at least prevent it from loading?

  I read about the so-called "Windows Black Screen of Death", but I'm sure this isn't that.

  All the advice accepted with gratitude...

  > So my question is really what could be causing this anomaly?
  I doubt it s a virus or something like that, but nothing is impossible.

  In my experience, the data on the HARD drive can be affected by different software.
  In my case, the data on the HARD drive was corrupted, because the 3rd party software changed some files and the master boot record is damaged.
  I formatted the HARD drive and created new partitions.

  I also use the CCleaner and I defragment the HARD disk several times in the week.
  Since the HARD drive and the data are ok and didn t notice such symptoms more.

• Satellite L500-1XL - new hardware upgrades

  Hi all
  I have the Toshiba Satellite L500-1XL and recently bought a new 500 GB internal HD and the upgrade went well. However, the internal transfer speeds aren't that fast. He is often out on 18mps level. Why? Affects of that? Use of the RAM, the use of the disk, the free storage space? The HD came with the laptop was 5400 with 8 MB, but my new is 7200 RPM with 16 MB with 11 seconds of access time. If that should not be much faster?

  Also, how can we get the support of USB 3.0? Only through new hardware? I know it goes into Windows 8 as this means there could be a few Windows 7 supports or who is still dependent on material?

  What are the most effective upgrade options to make my laptop run faster? He was modest. When I got it, but now use it for any need so get. Thus, upgrading to HD 160 GB to 500 GB (5400-7200), but it's unique processor with only 2 GB of RAM. I noticed on the Toshiba page so it says on a 64 bit system with 4 GB of RAM, the chart may use up to 1 800 MB of RAM upgrade RAM (not expensive) and then the processor? Even a single dual core would do the job? No need for a costly i3 and perhaps not compatible with the motherboard.

  Thank you!

  Hey Buddy,

  And what was your old HDD? HARD disk speed depends on different factors. You copy a large number of small files and a large single file?
  It s also useful to defragment the HARD drive from time to time. This can improve the speed. Also keep the system clean and use a registry cleaner like CCleaner that cleans up your registry.

  USB3.0 is a different interface. This new operating system wouldn t help you because it s material new feature/upgrade.

  Other improvements regarding: CPU and graphics card is not supported as you can read here:

  Your laptop has Intel GL40 chipset and the maximum RAM capacity is 4 GB. So you can install 2 GB DDR2-667 module in each memory location.

  Hi gazzdowzell,

  If your laptop doesn t boot it seems to be a hardware bad working it could be everything, motherboard, BIOS, CPU, etc and it is difficult to say what exactly is the problem.

  First of all, I would like to try this:
  [What steps must be followed if your Toshiba laptop does not start? | http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=21]

  If it doesn t work, please contact a service provider authorized in your country. If your laptop is under warranty, repairs are free.
  In addition if you remove the RAM and the beep of t n for laptop, it seems to be another problem. If you have removed the RAM module would be defective, the computer would have a beep.

  Good luck!

• This external modem will work with Satellite L500-1XL, running Windows 7

  When in Spain, I need to use the dialing up to the internet through Telefónica.

  Hello

  You re right Satellite L500 doesn t have an internal modem, so you need an external.

  I think you can buy every modem that is compatible with Vista. Alternative ask your favorite computer dealer or authorized service provider

• Satellite C50-A-138 - all USB ports do not have

  Hello

  I have a major problem with my Satellite C50-A-138.
  The card reader has never worked, and one by one the USB ports have stopped working.
  I can connect my phone to each of them, and he will.

  But I can not plug any device into the port and have the laptop recognize at all.
  So far, I tried the following:

  Deactivation and activation of each port
  Uninstalling and reinstalling
  Updates
  Updating of windows 8
  Reinstallation of windows 8
  Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\UsbFlags
  Regedit HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\usbhub
  Download of patches

  Is there anything else I can do to make them work again?

  > Card reader has never worked, and one by one the USB ports have stopped working.
  It is really strange. This model laptop was offered with Win8 64-bit and I can't imagine that a few pots do not work on the first day, and from the moment when the laptop was delivered with factory settings.
  > Reinstallation of windows 8
  Have you created a recovery media and then installed recovery image using this media?
  With other words, have you tested the feature with the factory settings?

• Satellite C50 - B - 14 d - USB ports not working not

  I have a C50 Satellite - B - 14 d and had again for about 4 months.

  I didn't know that at the time of the purchase (online) that there is no optical drive, so I bought an external.

  Trying to plug into it, discovered that nothing happened in the 2 ports on the right side (2.0 and 3.0) so I decided to try the left port 2.0.

  It does not detect the device, but it undetects then within 10 seconds, it continues to do this every few seconds it is impossible for me to access my work on CD!

  I contacted the people I bought it since then, but they say it's a matter of Toshiba?
  Can someone help to solve what I don't want to send it for repair because I can't be without him more than 2 days.

  HHHEEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!

  I put t he thinks that the s notebook issue if all the USB ports work in relation to other devices USB; That is to say the USB mouse.

  From my point of view of a few external USB CD/DVD drive could not be recognized because of the low power of the USB.

  Try to connect the CD/DVD drive to the laptop using the USB Y cable which allows to connect to two USB ports.

  Do you have a system restore and even tried to boot with a linux live cd but the machine would not recognize that it is plugged into a port.
  Contacted the dealer and they made me a shiny new replacement, but now he's gone the same way :(

  I have only 2 Kingston USB and a USB mouse that I have used in those laptops. The devices work properly in other laptops and PCs.

  The Windows Device Manager indicates the USB root hubs installed and if I uninstall them then the OS detects and reinstalls them.

  It is a really bad situation :-(. Can recover you your money from them to buy another model of laptop?
