Satellite L550 - failed to get product

My friend and I just bought 2 new Toshiba both provided with Windows 7.

When my gf transformed is turned on for the first time and he was recovering, it off because she didn't plug the power supply >< when="" she="" turned="" it="" back="" on="" it="" wouldnt="" boot,="" so="" she="" placed="" the="" product="" recovery="" disc="" that="" came="" with="" the="" laptop="">
Next thing we know its XP loaded instead of windows 7

Help, please! Is anyway?

Hi waxinfred,

Maybe you used the Windows XP downgrade disc... What recovery disk mean you? You can find some information about this?

Normally the recovery disk Windows 7 that you create yourself using the Toshiba recovery disc creator, but it is possible the performance of Windows 7 system.

But I think that it s too late now and you will have to order a recovery disc for Windows 7 in Toshiba directly but that s not for free

By the way: did you buy exactly the same laptops? If Yes, you could use the your other L550 Toshiba recovery disc. It's worth a try ;)

  • Satellite L550 PSLW8A can only get OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to 64-bit?

    Hi all

    I am writing from Australia.

    Two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Toshiba ([http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq]) with the following characteristics:

    Model: Satellite L550
    Reference number: PSLW8A-01101F
    BIOS: V1.60
    CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
    RAM: 4 GB
    HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
    OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (OEM preinstalled)

    My question:
    How can I switch to Win7 Pro * 32 - bit * for Win7 Pro * 64 - bit *?

    If I use the recovery disk (the hidden recovery partition) utility to do a clean reinstallation of Win7 Pro, I will give the choice during the process of resettlement of the installation either the 32-bit version or 64-bit?

    Or I have + not + get the choice at all and simply be limited to the OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit that came pre-installed version?

    All advice or information about how to pass OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to Win7 Pro 64-bit would be appreciated.

    Nick

    Hello

    AFAIK almost all new laptops are available with 32 and 64-bit OS and two recovery images are saved on the HARD drive.
    When you start installation HARD drive you should see the option to choose which version must be installed.

    Simply start the installation of HARD drive and you will see what menu you will see at the beginning. Not be afraid to do so. Nothing will happen.
    Real OS installation starts two steps later. If you can not damage preinstalled OS.

  • Satellite P100 - 307 Error Message: "failed to get read handle.

    "Failed to get read handle." Error message that appears whenever I start my laptop. HELP, its boring

    Error message that reads "Failed to get read handle." lies at the heart of my screen. Strange that it has an OK button, which means that the computer expects me to think it's ok. It's like the 'So what' button which really did not help them that my computer failed to get read manages? How can I get rid of this message? And why he's here.

    It's like setting up a new cell phone and the first time you receive your new number to a text message comes on the screen saying "Otta OK." Who the hell is Otta and what was wrong with Otta initially. In any case, anyone could help me with this, I would of course welcome.

    Hi Thorsten

    My first question is; What to hell you have on your laptop?
    I never saw the message as "Failed to get read handle."
    I have goggled autour and nothing!

    Are you able to get into the operating system? O If yes try to restore the operating system to the beginning.
    I put t know what you have installed or not installed on the device but I can t believe this is happening without any reason.

  • Satellite L550 - lack drivers for Bluetooth

    Attempts without end to get my cell phone Nokia 7230 working with the Bluetooth on my Toshiba Satellite L550, but nothing happens. When I try to download the drivers, it says plug it. Also, I get this message of Nokia PC Suite.

    I get the message that the three drivers are missing, 6to4 map ISATAP M/S M/S & M/S Teredo Tunneling adapter card.
    All attempts to repair through the Microsoft site failed, & the only suggestion is "computer to contact manufacturer.

    The computer is still under warranty, purchased in France where I still live.
    Just to add to my misery, Windows 7 is in French, which is not making things easier, because English is my mother tongue.

    Should I just give up & buy a USB cable & forget Bluetooth?

    Hello

    Are you sure that portable supports the internal Bluetooth adapter?
    Check if you have a BT label at the bottom of the unit
    Maybe the laptop does not support the BT module and so you are not able to connect the phone to this unit

    If the laptop supports an internal BT module, you must reinstall the BT stack which you can find here:

    FYI: you can activate the BT using FN + F8

  • Satellite L550 - SMART failure HARD disk reports early - what to do?

    Toshiba Satellite L550-113

    At startup, I get a fault HARD drive reporting mini-message soon, and I am asked to by pressing F1 before will continue to Windows (Vista 32 bit).

    The message of the Toshiba HDD application alert is as follows:

    Disk0
    Your HARD drive is SMART failure to predict who monitors the HARD drive, operating status. Your HARD drive is facing a problem and CHIP controlling the software predicts that the HARD drive will fail. Toshiba strongly recommends that you create a backup for the data on your HARD drive. Contact an authorized service provider to check your drive and buy a new drive for replacement if necessary.

    I ordered a new HARD drive to replace the failed HDD (can't be bothered p * ssing all with the support of the RMA and tech).

    However, is it possible to repair the old HDD once it's been deleted? If I have the reformat, it would do anything, or is it more serious than that?

    Hello

    What should do? Back up all your data as soon as possible. You have created recovery DVD?
    If this is not the case, do. When you redeem your laptop HARD drive, you can use this recovery disc to install the operating system and have once again the factory settings.

    What is with guarantee s notebook? I mean that if the warranty is still valid, you can request service Toshiba to replace HARD drive.

  • My plant Satellite L550-117

    Hello

    Since about 1 year im the owner of a Toshiba Satellite L550-117. It has always worked well. If lately, my pc just stops.

    It's not like a normal closed, where you exit all programs and then windows is stopped, but sound more like an accident. He just stops, without any notice and bam, I can restart.

    This has never happened before, and it started about 10-14 days ago. Happened 6 times now. Just before that happens, my phone gets really hot, it's actually a little painful keep the hand in front of the fan. I think that this problem is caused by severe overheating of a piece of hardware.

    This problem is only happening when I'm in the middle of a game session. I play Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and World Of Warcraft. Both games should be easily handled by my computer. They were never a problem for my laptop, and I've played against them, since I have this laptop.

    Please note that I have never tampered with everything. Everything is exactly as it was when I bought this thing, and it has never failed me. But now it just keeps crashing. Can someone give some suggestions on what I can do? IM from the Netherlands. I need to send in my notebook, is it need repairs or can I fix it myself? How does my information would help, in fact.

    I use Windows 7, 32 bit.
    Graphics card is ATI radeon HD4650.
    The laptop is satellite L550-117
    Processor Intel Core2DUO T6500 2.10 Ghz
    4 GB of RAM

    If you need any other card, just ask :)
    Thank you!

    This is the typical behavior of surprise. That means that material reaching critical temperature, when the sensors placed on the card mother laptop computer record will simply shut down. It is so-called protection mechanism. To avoid property damage.

    What can you do?
    Your laptop is about a year, so I imagine the dust inside. Dust may block the cooling by circulation Grill and air. First step should be to cleaning.
    On the internet you can find many pages with useful instructions and Tips how to do this on the right way.

    For example, you can see http://www.ehow.com/how_5217974_clean-notebook-computer.html

    Satellite L550 (PSLN8A-00Y008)

    On many models of Toshiba WLAN switch is no longer available and WIFI/BT will be enabled/disabled with function keys (FN keys). To work, you must install added Toshiba Value Package and Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

    You have two of them? Check please if Toshiba flash cards are listed in the startup (run > msconfig > startup).
    By the way: you can use the keys FN + Fx?

  • Re: Satellite L550 - installation kit is missing

    Hello world

    my girlfriend asked me to re - install Windows 7 (64 bit) on his Toshiba Satellite L550 because the OS no longer works correctly. Unfortunately she doesn't know where she stored installation and recovery kit. So, I have to assume this media kit that once came with the laptop is lost now.

    Anyone know if the installation or recovery media can be obtained from Toshiba, perhaps as the ISO image to download?
    Thanks in advance for any help!

    Hello.

    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite L550 - 18M and I can't seem to find the drivers for the full use of my touchpad (cannot use the functions of scrolling or zooming).
    I tried to install some synaptics from our official site sugestions and some of a Toshiba Satellite L500D synaptics drivers, but it did not help.

    Please send your suggestions.

    Thank you

    Hi mate

    I put t know what Windows OS, you have, but I assume you are using Win 7 64 bit. Right?

    L550 - 18M belongs to the PSLNEE series.
    It seems that there are not many drivers released for this series.
    But there are drivers for other series Satellite L550 touchpad.

    Alps Electric and Synaptics touchpad drivers are released.
    As a download driver choose;
    -Satellite
    -Satellite L series
    -Satellite L550
    -All (short model)
    -All (operating system)
    -Touchpad driver

    Then, you will get all the drivers for the touchpad.

    PS: don't forget the touchpad settings in Control Panel-> mouse-> device settings

  • Why the CD player does not work on my Satellite L550?

    Toshiba Satellite L550, Windows 7

    I can't get any CD to play. I tried to delete the driver, reinstalling the driver, nothing will make it work. Toshiba diagnostic tool says that's not there, Windows 7 says that there is nothing wrong with it.

    Any suggestions?

    > I tried to delete the driver, reinstalling the driver, nothing will make it work.
    Which driver? It is unclear to me that you need a driver for the optical disc drive feature.

    In any case, to be honest I don t understand your problem. You have a problem with the functionality of optical drive or with the sound (when trying to install driver)?
    Are you using the original pre-installed OS?
    You have the same problem with original DVD?
    Which player do you use?
    Have you tried to test the optical disc drive with different media (original music CD or CD with data backed up on it)?

  • Satellite L550 - error code 43 for USB

    I have a Satellite L550. There are sometimes problems with the recognition of USB devices. I use Windows7. In Device Manager, I found the error code 43 is displayed under the USB controllers section. I already read on the Internet; the problem might appear because of a capacitor on USB controller that stores a charge to keep certain settings. These settings can get damaged. The proposed solution is to unplug the computer and empty the load completely from the map. When the code 43 error, any device USB is not properly recognized.

    Does anyone know the problem? Is the scenario that I described the source of the problem, I don't know, but I think it could be?
    Is there a definitive solution to the problem?

    Thanks for any help.

    > I already read on the Internet. the problem might appear because of a capacitor on USB controller that stores a charge to keep certain settings

    It can also take place... Have you tried to update the chipset utility from the [Page Driver Toshiba | http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]? The driver of the usb controller is responsible for these functions, which is part of the chipset drivers. Thus, it is worthy to update

    Hello

    AutoPlay does not appear when you insert a disc in the CD/DVD drive or use a USB more.
    He used be ok up to 3 months ago.
    I don't remember if I did anything to get rid of AutoPlay.

    It is a satellite L550-1cc, windows 7. 64-bit operating system.

    I went into Control Panel / hardware & audio / Auto Play and Auto Play's Ticked the box for all.
    Still no Auto game
    Then go into My Computer directions click on DVD - RW drive / properties / material / click on TSST corp CD DVGW
    TS-L633C. The display now indicates "this device now works correctly.
    But there is STILL no Auto play.

    Please anyone know where to go to the next, I'm lost?

    Thanks Martin

    The AutoPlay option isn't appearing any more in Win 7 under the CD/DVD drive properties.
    Auto Play located in the Panel as you suggested above.

    Panel-> AutoPlay
    Here you must check the option called reading auto use for all devices and media

    Now if you want to listen to an Audio CD, you must choose a default application for Audio CD. Here, change the option called choose a default of Windows Media Player, in case you want to use this software for automatic playback.

    I bought the new laptop in UK computer dockside.com laptop Satellite model C50-A-1DV.
