• Satellite M50-226: dead Pixel-> is it possible to replace the screen

  Hello!

  My Satellite M50 226 gets more and more Pixelerrors. First of all, he didn't. All of a sudden 2 or 3 dead Pixels one moment there are 3 News (6 more) Pixelerrors.

  I have a Toshiba paper that says I have a warranty of Pixelerror 3. Where should I send the computer? Who do I call?
  AND: How long it takes?

  Kind regards
  Steffen Schreyer

  Well, what to say the warranty could cover the replacement of the screen, but it depends on the amount of pixels and resolution.

  Found several threads on the same topic. You will also find the official documents from Toshiba and statements on issues such as:

  Hello everyone,

  I had a problem with my satellite m50-226.
  It happens quite often that when I boot up my laptop a card WiFi is turned on, the computer hangs after windows journal.
  When I type my user password nothing happens and a few seconds later, the background appears but nothing else.
  When I restart the laptop the same problem occurs. only when I turn off the wlan card, I can start the computer successfully.

  Maybe anyone can help me?

  thanx.

  Hello Alex

  I am very interested about your problem and it is interested to know if this problem persists if the unit wakes from sleep or hibernation mode.
  Can you please verify this?

• Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top

  Hello

  My laptop Satellite M50 does not supply power to the top. The laptop itself is working fine, but I can't use it as the battery is discharged. I checked the cable ca and it seems ok. The laptop has a fuse internal which I need to check? If this is not the case, what should I do?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  If I understand you correctly you cannot use laptop with AC power only. Am I right about that?
  Switching between the block of AC power or the battery, do the power of electronic cards and there is not a switch so that you can check.

  When you connect your laptop to the power Jack is the power LED ON?

• Satellite M50-226 with Bluetooth?

  HY guys,.
  I have a question...
  I bought a M50-226, which had pre-installed XP Home... In the Device Manager there is a Toshiba Bluetooth something device called RFCOMM... I don't remember exactly.
  Now, I have installed XP Pro... and follow the installation guide on the CD-ROM of the m50 tools. When I arrived at the installation of the BLuetooth stack... installation asked me to 'connect the bluetooth device' I clicked on ok... but nothing happened... Now, I have a BLuetooth on Toshiba entry in my Start Menu, which I do not know if it will work... Device Manager shows no mark or anything like that... but there is no bluetooth device more...

  This device installed on xp family due to toshiba was using a single disk image for all sorts of VErsions M50... or something go wrong on my XP Pro installation?

  Hello

  According to the specifications of your laptop comes without BT module. Like Stefan said in his view please check if you can find the label of BT on the lower side.

  Just FYI: the recovery images are the same for the M50 series. Some devices come with and some without BT modules. All units have the same settings factory and because of this, it is possible that you have seen the BT software components on your device, even if your device has no BT

• Satellite M70-151 - not possible to install new HDD

  Hello

  I have a problem with my Satellite M70-151. bunch of old hard drive (100 GB Hitachi) reached the Windows XP screen then just ends with a blue screen a turn off laptop, immediately. I had to restore my data with an application file-rescue of another PC. It was not possible to start from old hard drive yet.

  Then I bought a Western Digital SATA II 250 GB hard drive that put my Windows XP CD in DVD player installed and tried to start. The laptop turns off as soon as the laptop computer tried to access the HARD disk.
  Thought, it was question of SATA II disk and tried a Samsung 160 GB Sata I - same result.

  BIOS recognizes the correct drives.

  If I try to boot from old hard drive, it shows the issue I mentioned first, but as before it reaches the Windows XP Boot screen before moving on to the blue screen before turning off the laptop. So start goes further than the boot with new hard drives

  The Windows XP CD I used is not the restore CD that came with the laptop, but a normal license.

  The heat is not a problem, I cleaned the CPU fan there is enough space to breathe the cold air mobile, the temperature is ok.

  * My questions are: *.

  Is there any special application running on laptops satellite, like special software of Toshiba, perhaps Backup, should I be aware of?
  What I need to preformat the hard drive, Toshiba-Hardware will recognize the hard drive?

  It would be great to get help on this issue, because I'm out of ideas. Thanks in advance!

  Hello Andrew

  This behavior is very strange. I have some old Satellite M70-159 with 100 GB HARD drive. I also tested how it will work with a 250 GB HARD drive and all is well.
  On two drives, I have installed WXP using the Toshiba recovery image.

  I answer your two questions No. to install Windows XP Home edition on this model of laptop you don't need some special Toshiba application or a piece of software.
  HDD should be recognized correctly by the BIOS and the Windows XP Home edition installation procedure should work well.
  What you can try is to set the BIOS to the default settings and try again.

  The strange thing for me is that judgment. The blue screen tells me that there may be some serious hardware problem, the HARD drive controller might be. It's really not easy to say with certainty what can be the problem.

• Seeing the drive DVD Satellite M50 does not turn OFF, CD/DVD drive don't read do not

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M50 - mx5 with a carpet * a DVD player. When I insert the CD or DVD, the player starts, turns the CD autour (the indicator light flashes)... but a few seconds later, the drive stops turning, but the DVD drive light is on.

  Windows also think that the DVD drive is empty.
  I also tried to boot Windows from the CD when the computer starts upward, but without success either.

  Ideas for what is wrong? Is my DVD drive broken?

  Thank you
  Eli

  Hello

  Sorry to said but in my opinion, drive is dead and that the replacement allows the reader features can save.

  But be aware that not every drive is supported and can be used with the laptop!
  Take a look in the user manual. Sometimes the compatible players are listed.
  And it s useful to know that all parts can be ordered from the ASP in your country.

  have a nice weekend ;)

• Satellite M50 does not start, go back to the screen with different start modes

  My Satellite M50-130 does not start correctly. When you turn it on, it goes to a black DOS screen, saying: "We apologize for the inconvenience, but Windows did not start successfully. A recent hardware or software change might have caused this. "It offers me different start modes: Safe Mode, with networking and command prompt. Last good Configuration known; and start Windows normally.

  I tried all the 5 options, gets the commissioning insofar as the Toshiba screen, but then with all the options, it returns to the initial screen offering the 5 modes of starting. Same thing happens when laptop works again.

  The only recent software change, I've done was an update to Norton AntiVirus/Internet Security and I suspect that Norton is at least part of my problem, see history below. I know it's the Toshiba support site, but I tried Norton so many times without success, I gave up. Plus, I'm no expert at all, so I can't be sure that it is really the source of all my sorrows. All advice welcome!

  The performance of my laptop has deteriorated seriously in the last two months. She is extremely slow, and cleaning of malware and unwanted General does not help. It began right after that I renewed the license of Norton last year and upgraded to the 2007 version. The worst downturns are always connected to direct upcoming Norton upgrade programs. I disabled the live upgrade, but programs always come to the top, and I can't stop them, a popup tells me that they are protected.

  Wireless internet is also very capricious, even if another computer on the same network works fine.
  During the last week, I had to relax a little internet security settings (from "moderate to severe" to "low to medium") because after an other update of Norton AntiVirus, I couldn't access to interactive Web sites.
  It is perhaps a coincidence because Norton AntiVirus comes with updates at least twice a week - but what else could be the problem?

  My apologies for the long rant, I am grateful for all the advice!
  Thank you
  I have.

  Hello

  I think the only way to make your system works correctly again is to restore with the cdrom of onboard catering. Simply manage to save your data from your hard drive (the best way would be to put your machine's HARD drive in a USB - HDD enclosure and copy important data on another computer), then wipe the system completely off you hdd.

  After that, the system must run again...

• Satellite M70-339 - not possible to record via mic internal

  I have a Satellite M70-339 (running XP home) not recording via internal microphone

  The internal michrophone detects no voice - no wavy on sound recorder and Skype line not to pick up my voice, yet the device manager tells me that it works properly and the microphone is selected in audio and audio settings.

  Are you really sure that your model of laptop has an internal microphone? I have the Satellite M70-159 and there is no internal microphone.

• Satellite A60 overheating - not possible to recover the operating system

  Hey there,

  I'm almost certain I have a hardware problem with my Toshiba A60. Explorer.exe has stopped running, doing system restore helped for a while, but he just kept happening again. System Restore loses all its points of restore, safe mode did not help at all. I managed to back up everything and went to the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  He managed to kill everything on my internal hard drive (or at least enough that it no longer starts), but effective recovery program only happens to about 12% then goes to a black screen, it's the same thing if I try to use expert mode on the recovery CD. Also, the laptop overheats a lot. I am so sure that it's a hardware problem.

  In any case, according to the website my warranty expired 08/2005. I just wanted to know if there is any way I can contact Toshiba? Most of the companies at least listen to you if they sold you a product that overheats and breaks (even if he does that the expiration of the warranty).

  Yet, it was the closest I could find on a "Contact us" page (other than the all-in-one phone number). Even if I can't get it fixed for free I wanted to know if there was any kind of paid service. Can I get any help? With the contacting Toshiba, I have not the strength to try something new with my laptop now that he can only boot from a CD and that done correctly.

  Thank you very much
  Andrew

  Hello

  I contacted Toshiba service partner in my country if I had a problem with my laptop. I think you should also ask the authorized assistance service provider. Don t contact one of Toshiba because most of the time, go to the point service.

  I found this link that will help you find the right provider in your country:
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true

  But if you laptop overheating then you should check the cooling modules, if there is no dust or / and debris. Especially books of overheating because the cooling modules will not twist correctly and the air circulation is compromised.

• Need to WXP Pro Installation Disc

  How can I get a double XP Pro disc to my Satellite Pro 2100. I bought this a 2nd hand and the girl did not have records to go with it. I would have better luck trying to get a disc to install the Application. You can enlighten me on this please.
  Thanks a lot for the answers.

  Hello

  Lucky is right. Original restore disc you can be ordered only by the authorized service partner, but you can use the CD of the full version of Microsoft. Download page for all the necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can find on Toshiba.
