• Satellite L850 - 12 H - notification problem fan

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L850 - 12H.

  I bought it almost two years ago and at the beginning I had some problems of fan.

  After I started there was a message telling me that the cooling system had been damaged and that I should contact Toshiba support so that it can be fixed.

  After I pressed Ok on this message my fan would go close to 100%, which was a pretty annoying sound but the machine was always cool and never had any performance issues.

  There are tho, the message is stopped and now im stuck with the fan works once every 5 minutes that is bad cause I use this laptop mainly for games and im get FPS quite low, even when the games are set on high performance and low "eye-candy".

  Is it possible that I can bring this message back, or even manually the fan start and stop when I need it?

  Thanks in advance.

  As I know there is no way to get this message on the screen.
  This notification if a problem with a module of cooling would be detected.
  What you can do is to change the cooling mode in the Windows power options.

  I guess that you are still using Windows 7 OS pre-installed.

  In this HowTO you find details where necessary option.

  What I see is that we have same wireless Chipset, Tenda use Ralink or Broadcom chipsets, which are compatible with our wifi cards, then I would tell you my opinion do 1st updated drivers on your laptop, I use the latest x 64 win10, atheros version drivers 10.0.0.326, then go and upgrade your routers firmware! I don't know it will solve your problem, by the way check firmware of the laptop is the last 6,80 I think!

• Satellite L850: Drive HARD Firmware problem prevent data recovery

  Am a little confused and need a simple explanation
  My HDD L850 died under warranty and was sent to the people of data recovery to recover the data before entering new drive under warranty.

  I am told that my hard drive has a fairly unique combination of firmware and the drive that prevents the recovery until they get this firmware. Now 6 weeks after it happened I stll wait.

  Someone in support could explain to me in simple terms, why this firmware is the problem cause and so far can only be obtained by your partner data recovery company?

  Hello

  I think that you will here get a correct answer, why the people of data recovery needs of these packages since it is a user forum.

  But to my knowledge all the 2.5 hard drives and SSD drive supports various firmware.
  These firmware tells the hardware how to interact with the operating system.

  It seems that people in data recovery needs these packages in order to get access to the HARD drive, and I presume, without the compatible firmware, it is not possible to recover the data.

• Satellite L850-E8S - shutdown problems

  Hello everyone

  I bought Toshiba Satellite L850-E8S with Windows 8.0 (for a single language) preinstalled in October 2013. At the moment I can't get stop normally.

  Question: * pressing Shutdown (stop) of charms goes up "Windows is shutting down" and after that the screen turns off but power light is lit and the fan keeps operate.* I stop it by pressing the power button, I really want to quit smoking. (Once I didn't notice that and put the laptop in a bag for a few hours and it of a miracle that no equipment would have been burnt, despite the laptop was hot like the Sun) * the problem started after a month of use, and I didn't think her yet.*

  First of all, I thought that the case concerns him * hybrid Shutdown in the Win8. I have visited many forums dedicated for hybrid stop, proven fruitless discussions. *! AND! I had the same problem on my laptop with a slight difference - loading Win7 and Linux * the monitor stays on (with the lights and the fan on either). *
  Moreover, I also saw a BSOD after a day I bought the laptop. This problem concerned Realtek Audio driver and SRS Premium sound. As I understood the question is drivers conflict. Right now I have no installed Audio SRS premium and see no BSOD, but Realtek audio driver is not stable: the sound either begins to work in a few minutes after starting windows or it does'nt work at all.

  First of all, I wish really that someone to help me with the shutdown problem. All tips are welcome.

  I installed the latest drivers display amd by toshiba Web site and java 64 bit.

  Walker I launch Minecraft is as usual, but when I click on connection a black screen stands for awhile, then the failure Message screen comes and it means something like this:

  Bad video card drivers!

  So I hope that you are able to help me.
  I've already spent many hours to fix it, but nothing works
  :(

  In this game forum, you can find several discussions on the problems in playing Classic.
  All cases have been resolved by the update of the graphics card driver.

  To my knowledge, the driver of Toshiba page does not contain the OpenGL but DirectX (of Microsoft)

  Then maybe you will need to install the driver of an another 3rd party sources

• Satellite L850 - display problems external 1080 p

  I did turn my laptop Satellite L850 via HDMI to an external monitor without problem for many months.

  A couple of weeks, I tried to update the catalyst driver and have had problems since.
  Basically now when I select mode 1080 p via the Catalyst Control Panel, it makes the screen flash and present vertical lines.

  Occasionally, it will work for a short time, even up to a full day and it will randomly start once again. I can play a game in 1080 p mode and it will be totally random, sometimes which allows me to play for hours without having the screen flashes black while the other times, it starts flashing constantly and the only way to fix it is to reboot or pull the HDMI cable and plug back and cross your fingers you have enough time to reopen the catalyst and change in 720 p which is always stable.

  I tried:

  1 using the AMD catalyst removal tool and resettlement through the catalyst of origin Toshiba drivers factory default
  2. use to restore the system to go back before I made the changes
  3 using the removal tool from AMD Catalyst and update to the latest version via the site Web of AMD.
  4 reinstall my chipset with #1 drivers
  5 tried another monitor (still happens)

  On a side note, whenever I use the removal tool it removes my USB drivers too and I have to reinstall.

  The current graphics driver is AMD Radeon HD 7670 M and I also tried the solution on here http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/item/781 tech support forum.

  I ran out of options other than a full format and reinstall I want to avoid if possible. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  Thanks in advance

  Hello

  The AMD Catalyst (control software) update would not solve the issue.
  You need to update the graphics driver too!
  The graphics card driver can be uninstalled in Device Manager!

  [After sleep mode, a distorted image or a split screen may be displayed: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3903IB0000R01.htm]

  This problem was caused by the display AMD. V9.12.0.0 driver, which was automatically installed through the Windows Update feature.

• Satellite L850: Windows 8 error - 'PC hit a problem... ". »

  Hello.

  I bought a portable Satellite L850, used it for about 2 hours. Next time I booted up it, the error ""restart your PC on a problem and needs. " We are only collecting information, and then we will restart for you. (0% complete) "in a blue screen appeared.

  He gave me two options using the F8 key, has nothing; He blinked only screen when I pressed the F8 key or any other key F for all that matters.

  Changing the boot in the bios options, I was able to boot a Windows 7 DVD booteable, and to my surprise, I found that the hard drive had no partitions... at all (when it should be 2 maybe 3 partitions and a space law?).

  Of course, I could not also burn the recovery DVDs because I could not go back to windows, and when I tried to boot from an overview of client Windows 8 DVD, the same error occurred, over and over again.

  I now use the computer under Windows 7 I have installed, but I would definitely come back the origin of windows 8 copy supplied with the computer... or at least be able to maybe install another copy of Windows 8 of my own.

  Somebody help me, I would really appreciate it.

  Sorry if my English is not good enough, it isn't my mother tongue.

  Hello

  I think that you have installed Win 7 on the HARD drive. Right?
  This means that Win 8 is no longer available looks like you couldn't create the recovery disk containing 8 win too so I don't see an option for you allow to win 8:
  You must order the disk recovery from here:
  http://backupmedia.Toshiba.EU/landing.aspx

  But a question remains open: why the BSOD appeared?
  It could be a problem of system or a hardware problem, but I can't say with certainty what's exactly wrong according to me, you will need to contact a service if the installation of Win 8 can not fix this

  Hello

  You did a clean install of win 8 or move you from Win 7 to 8 Win?

  During the upgrade to Windows 7 for win 8 Win 8 checks the pre-installed drivers and tools, and if certain parts are not win 8 compatible, you will receive a notification.
  In this case, you need to remove/uninstall the incompatible elements.

  Just one question: did you choose the upgrade wizard for the L850 right? You must choose L850 PSKDLE

• Satellite L850-147 - Audio problem with output jack and balance

  Hi all

  When I plug in my headset on my laptop (Satellite L850-147) and try to listen to music, I hear music (instrumental parts)... by far, I can hear the voice of the singer.

  I found a turnaround with the adjustment of balance in realtek HD audio manager 100% or 100% left...
  But this isn't the way that music have to play...

  I have reinstalled the Realtek HD Audio Manager but without success...
  Any idea?

  Thank you

  Hello

  And have you checked the settings in the software you use to play the sounds?
  Of course the Realtek HD audio Manager supports the sound configurations and you can change different sound effects such as environment and Equalizer but the same or similar options are supported by each software reading and I also recommend to check this!

  By the way: Toshiba laptops are pre-installed with a HD Audio SRS Premium application. To access this, go to:
  Start-> all programs-> SRS Lams-> SRS Premium Sound Technology
  Here, you will also get some options that could be interesting for you.

  Also recommend checking Audio improve
  Make a right click on the icon of speakers in the taskbar then on playback-> speakers devices->, click Properties
  On the development tab, select the sound effect you want and click on apply.
