  • Satellite L650-11F - how to connect to LCD via an HDMI cable?

    Hello world

    I have the Satellite L650-11F with ATI 5650 and HDMI port and I want to connect the laptop via HDMI lcd screen so that I have some office using 2 * ATI Catalyst * and * software HydraVision, but ATI sites said that Toshiba notebook is not supported (Please check with your mobile phone OEM for support of the drivers for these laptops).

    So, how can I connect my laptop to LCD screen to get 2 workstation?

    Sorry for my bad English :)

    Hi thebluewriter,

    I think you need to check only the other discussions of the forum on the connection for laptop LCD screen. You will find enough about it!

    In any case, most recent display driver you can download on the official website of Toshiba, but usually it s preinstalled on your laptop.
    If you are using a HDMI cable, use just FN + F5 key combination to switch between monitors. All that s! :)

    Hello!

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-11F.

    The other day I had a huge massive Goner virus (lol) and the computer is turned off. Whenever I tried to turn it on, it started to load Windows, and then restart. I tried to start Windows in safe mode but the same thing happened, just keep restarting. I tried to repair Windows (by pressing f8 and etc.) and without success, he kept restarting.

    So I tried to put it because it came from fabric and when I press 0 or F1 happears just 2 options: choose an opperating system to start or press tab to select a tool: Windows 7 tools: Windows memory diagnostic

    Can you help me please? Is there another way I can access the hidden hard drive recovery partition? Please :(

    Hi dakova,.

    Ist it Toshiba's original OS is still installed? I ask this question because it of necessary for the recovery of HARD drive. If you have installed another OS, you can access t HARD drive recovery option.
    In addition, recovery of HARD drive option is available if you press the F8 key before Windows starts. In the advanced boot menu, select fix my computer. The exact procedure is described here:

    In the bios I've seen something that maby can do to this problem and in the drivers I have found no update of the bios on this situation.

    important to know that I used acronis disk Director from a boot able disk and paragon Yes and others, but even if some software have the problem with a hard drive, the other read him but here no budy can see!

    Hmmm... Also, I use the paragon 10 Server to create partitions. But why are you trying to create a startup disk? Install the server paragon 10 on your computer, and then make the best partition size.

  • Disk failure hard satellite L650-12N - replaced with SSD - how to recover?

    My HARD drive has failed, so I bought a 256 GB SSD Crucial CT256MX100SSD1. I installed it in the laptop and went to use the recovery CD. It's the bit score correctly as far as I can tell, but to cut a long story short, I think that the recovery disk is missing a few vital pieces of information (read below - I may be wrong).

    So, how do for Satellite L650-12N new recovery discs?

    Thank you
    RQ

    After the partition, it then says "copy files of database recovery.
    some random jargon

    Then he said: «unpack the OS and system/WinRE»
    Set of RECO...
    It says "copy F:\ZZImg\11353XSP.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 1/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of the CRC files
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy F:\ZZImg\11353XSP2.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 2/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP3.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 3/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP4.swm to V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 4/10
    1 file (s) copied.
    Copy of F:\ZZImg\11353XSP5.swm V:\HDDRecovery\SWImg 5/10
    1 file (s) copied. »

    at this stage it says ' insert the next recovery media (containing the F:\ZZImg\11353XSP6.swm file)!
    but the backup I did only has one drive.

    Hmm, for me, it seems that some image packages are missing.
    According to your message, the recovery image must contain 10 packs, but the first recovery disc provides only 5 packages.
    Should be so 2nd drive providing other packages to complete the recovery procedure.

    I m wondering if you already used the recovery disc (CD) in the past.
    Are you sure that this recovery disc has been done correctly 100%?

    From my point of few recovery disk is defective and to recover the laptop, you need a good way to return to work.
    Usually this can be ordered here:

  • Satellite L650: Where to find the Vista drivers? How to increase memory GPU?

    Hello

    I have owned just a satellite L650. I installed windows vista.
    Where can I find the drivers?
    I downloaded Toshiba, but some drivers are missing.

    Can someone tell how to increase the mobility radeon HD5470 512 MB Max 1300 MB video card?

    Thank you

    > Can someone tell how to increase the mobility radeon HD5470 512 MB Max 1300 MB video card?
    It is not possible. The graphics card driver it automatically controls and you cannot assign the memory manually.

    > I installed windows vista. Where can I find the drivers?
    Why are you using Vista?
    Windows 7 is pre-installed on this laptop and Win 7 is much better than Vista.

    However, if you use Vista (but I put t know why someone should prefer Vista Win7) and then drivers can be collected manually.
    Here's a nice HowTo that helps find all drivers:

    I'm installing first in Dutch and I want to re - install in french.
    When I go to the recovery system, its installation still in Dutch.

    Please someone help me?

    Thanks, sorry for my English.

    Satellite L650-170

    Hello

    As far as I know that it is no longer possible.
    If you have selected the language, you will need to use the language that was chosen originally.

    I not quite sure of this workaround, but check if this m:
    -create a recovery disk (using the software creator on the laptop recovery disk)
    -use the recovery disk to reinstall new OS
    -Check if it would be possible to change the language.

    There are two RAM slots and a slot is empty. In another location, you can find a module 2GB DDR3 1066 MHz (PC3-8500) RAM.

    If you need to update the RAM, then I suggest you buy an exactly the same module

  • Connectivity issues and touchpad Wi - Fi with Satellite L650 on Win8

    Hello
    I recently updated my Satellite L650 - 18 c (short part no: PSK1JE) to Windows Pro 8, thanks to a commercial copy. The laptop works very well and I am happy with the new OS, but I have a few problems.

    1 - Touchpad
    During my first installation of Windows the touchpad used generic drivers, then I went [here | http://pt.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=PT] to download the proper drivers. I couldn't find the drivers of Windows 8, so I went to the Web of Synaptics site to get the drivers directly from there. I got Windows 7 drivers.
    When I try to open the settings for the touchpad in Windows I get an error that looks something like "Unable to connect to the Synaptics pointing device" and I have to reinstall the drivers.

    2 - wireless
    I high speeds (~70Mbit/s) with an Ethernet cable, but Wi - fi, I only have 3.5Mbit / s.
    I read that this is related to the drivers, so I looked up the proper drivers, but so far found no one who even settle (I click Yes on UAC and then nothing happens).

    I really want to avoid going back to Windows 7.
    Is there something I can do?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    As a first step, you should check if your laptop is supported for Win8 or not. Do it on
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/checkWindows8Compatible.do?service=EU

    If this isn't the case, then you can try to use the drivers for the recent but similar laptop models.

    WLAN I checked the specifications of the laptop and your laptop has WIFI and Bluetooth combo card. It is Wifi b/g/n 11 + BT V2.1 + EDR (Broadcom BCM94313). Unfortunately the Toshiba WLAN portal you won't find Win8 drivers at the moment.

    Thank you

    In a first time can you please post exact model laptop (L650-xxx) number?

  • Satellite L650 - virus Possible then how to get it back?

    I bought a Satellite L650 a couple of weeks. Because I had to get the machine quickly I don't have round initially to make the recovery of HARD drive disk. On the second use, the machine has been infected by a virus (I didn't know that the Macafee was not fully installed - stupid I know, but its done) and the laptop now constantly asking me what program I want to open things, I can barely use internet as it comes from the gums to the top with asking me what I want to open things with.

    I have not all discs in the box when I bought the compiuter, where can I buy from? And I think that he is infected with some kind of registry problem, what I can do about it? I am puzzled now that because of my haste to get using the machine it now does not work properly!

    For any help or suggestion would be welcome.

    Hi markdrysdale,

    > I have not all discs in the box when I bought the compiuter, where can I buy from?
    Yes, you n t get any recovery disks because you will need to create them yourself using preinstalled Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Therefore, you need a few blank DVDs. Then run the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator and follow the on-screen instructions to create the recovery disks.
    Also consult your user manual. There are a lot of pages on the recovery of the laptop.

    If original alternative operating system is installed you can restore the box settings if you start HARD drive recovery. This is why go to Windows Advanced Boot menu and choose fix my computer.
