• Access to Boot to install Satellite M50-A-110 problem

  Hello

  I just bought a Satellite M50-A-110 and wanted to install Win 7.

  Problem is that I have difficulties to access the bios press F2, esc, or DELETE...

  It worked (twice) if I could change boot USB (with a bootable USB key that I used on other computers to install win 7), still does not begin to earn 8...

  So I formatted the hard drive to get rid of all the partitions and win 8.

  Replaced the hard drive, insert the USB and now I have this message:

  "Reboot and select proper boot device."
  or Insert boot media in selected boot and press device any key..."

  So my questions are:

  -Are known issues with the m50-a-110, in the start menu? and what is the key / key combination, that I push?
  -This would be installing win 7 can only be achieved with a USB 3.0? (2 slots USB 3.0 and USB 2.0)

  Thank you for your help in advance and good luck,

  Hello and thanks for the comments. On a site I m happy to know that you have solved your problem, but on the other hand, it is not the best solution.

  Have you really taken apart your laptop to access the CMOS battery? I mean, after this action, your warranty is no longer valid.

  On this forum you can find numerous threads about the same question, where is explained what needs to be done about it and what steps are required to install Win7 on new models of laptops with preinstalled Win8 / Win8.1.

  What needs to be done first is the full stop - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2B03EY0002R01.htm
  After doing this, it is possible to enter the BIOS settings and change the secure boot settings.

  I just hope that you have created a recovery (DVD or USB) media until you have formatted your HARD drive.

  In any case, good luck with your machine.

• Replace HDD on a Satellite M50-A-110

  Hello

  I just bought a new Satellite M50-A-110, and I wanted to replace the HARD disk provided with the laptop with my existing SSD.

  Unfortunately, there is no way (that I could find) to reach the HARD-drive Bay.
  In previous versions I could replace hassle at all, but here the whole bottom panel is in a piece of plastic that I couldn't remove.

  Can someone help me please?
  Is there a trick to remove the bottom panel that I'm not aware of?

  Thank you for your help in advance and good luck,

  Hello

  Well, the HARD disk and memory modules or battery are placed under the plastic cover at the bottom of the unit.
  You will need to remove the cover and plastic to get access to these parts.

  To my knowledge, there are 12 screws that fix the bottom cover.
  Then you could gently remove the lower logic of the top by lifting the edge of the lower part of the right angle.

• Satellite M50-A-110 - wireless turns down running 8.1 Win

  I've recently bought a portable Satellite M50-A-110 with Windows 8

  It is initially connected to my router (but),
  I could load a page on the browser and the connection then turns down

  I updated to Windows 8.1, put to update the driver, chose the intel driver against the windows one, zero, the router, disabled some settings tcp/ip (web help), still nothing.

  I can only connect by cable.

  My router works fine with the other laptop, Tablet, mobile phone.
  I have a Mc McAfee Firewall, which I disabled it temporalily but the problem persists

  Can anyone help?

  Hello

  Have you noticed this disconnection using the laptop battery power or also during its connected to the power adapter mode?

  In case this happens only in battery power mode, it would be possible as the system powers OFF the WLan to save power.
  In this case, I recommend two verification options:

  1) go to Device Manager-> card WLan-> properties-> tab power management
  Check here if the option to shut down unit is not checked.

  (2) Variant 2 should be checked in the Windows power management. Here, you can set the WLan card option to the performance.

  By the way: according to the specifications of the laptop the laptop is equipped with Intel card Wireless - N 7260 WLan that supports the 802.11 b/g/n standard.

  Here is a page of the driver Intel where you can download the latest driver Intel Intel Dual Band Wireless-N 7260
  [Drivers Intel® Dual Band Wireless-N 7260 | https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+ Networking & ProductLine = Intel % C2% AE + Wi - Fi + products & ProductProduct = Intel % C2% AE + double + band + Wireless - N + 7260 & ProdId = 3716 W & LineId = 1784 & FamilyId = 1783]
  I recommend you test the 16.6.0 driver version

  If you have time, try an experiment: you can see the different WLAN channels: you must pass in the router settings as well as in properties (Advanced tab) Wlan card

• Is it possible to install the keyboard backlight?

  HP dv7-4296nr switch the keyboard backlighting of the installation? Because I'm working often in the night, so it is very useful for me, but the current keyboard has no backlight, and I don't want to use an external light to connect via the USB port, because it is very distracting.

  http://h20574.www2.HP.com/default.htm?lang=en&cc=us&hpappid=psml

  Access your model as seen in the screenshot.

  

  When you get to the video section, click on "Keyboard" in the left column, yours is very easy.

  Make sure you are connected before you click on the video link.

  If the link or the video does not work, let me know and I'll post a bunch of screenshots.

  At this point, you don't have to remove the real water for the keyboard to the motherboard. Everything we do here is to determine whether there is a connection on the MoBo for the backlight cable.

  Look at the pictures of the backlit keyboard by ebay, the connection on the motherboard will coincide with the end of the keyboard cable. Note that the cable for the backlight is a separate cable and is quite small compared to the main keyboard cable.

  If there is a cable, and when it comes time to unlock the ZIF connector to remove the keyboard, be very careful not to damage the connector.

  The video is very clear, and if you follow his instructions that you have no problem, nothing should be forced. Make sure you and the main keyboard cable is properly aligned before blocking the paw of the ZIF connector.

  If the ZIF connector is damaged to the point where the cable will be locked down, he condemns the whole motherboard.

  If you don't feel able to do it yourself, then a repair shop can do for you. The procedure is very fast, so it shouldn't cost too much, it will take them only a few minutes to inspect the MoBo to ensure that the connector is there.

  You can also find out if the seller has a return policy, just in case.

  ______________________________________________________________________________________

  I had a quick glance and I found a picture of your mother board where the backlight cable connection should be. The screenshot shows where it should be, converted red (boxed). If there is no link here, then you're out of luck.

  The connection will be similar to the connection of touch pad just below.

  

• Configure the keyboard backlight Timeout

  Hello, I want to configure the keyboard backlight Timeout on Dell Latitude E6440. I use pre-installed Linux OS Ubuntu 12.04.2 Dell.

  I found this post http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/f/4448/p/19415396/19975858.aspx#19975858 of Warren Byle.

  He wrote how to change the keyboard backlight with tool CCTK lighting level. I downloaded CCTK for Red Hat Linux and looks like it works fine on Ubuntu too. With that - token orders that I am able to change the level of backlight on the keyboard which is good.

  But I still don't know how to change the keyboard backlight Timeout. Backlight is still off after 10 seconds. Is there some special - token for this timeout setting?

  According to other messages, looks like configring timeout to 5 minutes could be possible, as there are Windows applications that could do that (for example Dell System Manager Application checkpoint)

• How to disable the keyboard backlight on Portege Z830?

  Hello eyeryone!

  I hope someone can help me with the following "problem" on my Z830 backlit keyboard.

  The thing is I want to use this function, when it is not necessary, but every time I change my setting of the energy of 'eco' on the keyboard lights up. I would like to disable this feature, so that the LED backlight is only active manually. Does anyone know where this setting can be changed?

  The light on the keyboard is not mentioned in the list for the parameters energy and the BIOS option is already set to 'off '.

  Thank you

  Hello Scorpio

  I n t have this model of laptop, but I think that the principle is the same as on other laptops.

  Start Toshiba Assist > Optimize > HWSetup > and you will find the keyboard backlight options.
  Here you can disable.

  Please, check and send comments.

• Satellite M50-A-110 does not recognize the new SSD?

  Hello

  I bought the M50-A-110 model and tried to replace the HARD drive by a Pro 840 Samsung SSD. The laptop does not recognize the SSD drive, so I sent him to the local Toshiba service for inspection.

  They discovered that the laptop does not recognize ALL of the latest SSD (they tried to Samsun, Intel, Crucial, Kingston and SSD Seagate). They checked, and I possible newer BIOS, so this isn't a problem, and the SSD worked fine on other computers.

  Someone knows how to solve this mess?
  Toshiba has a BIOS beta I could try?
  Any other ideas would be welcome.

  As a user of long date Toshiba, I must say that I am a little disappointed. I mean I work in it, and this is the first time that something like this happened to me with a new product.

  Hello

  I can't believe that Satellite M50 - A can not handle any of the mentioned SSDS.

  I upgraded my Toshiba laptop with SSD Pro 840. But before I did, the update of the firmware of SSD was necessary. Before the firmware update, the SSD has failed, after the firmware update, BIOS can handle the SSD.

  I would recommend to check the SSD for the firmware update!

• Re: Satellite P870-32F - how to change the keyboard of enlightenment?

  * Hello, *.

  * Here I am new in this circle, with perhaps a simple kind of question: *.

  * I bought a new laptop (Toshiba Satellite P870 - 32F Type) a few weeks ago. The describtion of the mentioned book, there is the option to turn on the keyboard unique.* LED lighting

  * This is why you must choose the Fn - button and * Z *? *

  * Well, I luckily with success so far. I tried almost all kinds of combinations, but West still no light on... maybe my book doesn´t have this kind of extra.*

  * Does anyone have any idea what would be useful? Looking forward for your answer, thanks.*

  The small keyboard symbol is placed on the Z key?
  If this is not the case, your keyboard doesn't have keyboard backlight.

• Satellite P205 - hit ANY key on the keyboard opens the default browser

  Very strange problem with our Toshiba Satellite P205.
  Hit ANY key on the keyboard opens the default browser. For example, type a ten letter word ten browser windows opens. We have replaced the keyboard but the problem persists. Toshiba repair center suggested replacing the motherboard at $500 (which isn't on the cost of a new cell phone?).

  Works very well without any problem using an external keyboard.
  It came with Vista, but we installed XP with the same results. Also tried upgrading the Bios.

  * Water was spilled on this computer laptop previously.*
  * It is out of EMCO.*

  Is there maybe a registry tweak that can block the default browser to open this way?
  Anyone has any ideas on this one?

  There is a 'hard' switch just above the keyboard that opens the browser. I guess the connectors or printed circuits are corroded or damaged somehow so that any input on the keyboard also triggers this hard switch.

  Possibly a hack software to disable or block the button "Open browser" would solve the problem. How to turn off or reassign these hard buttons?

  Any help or ideas would be appreciated.

  > Toshiba repair center suggested replacing the motherboard at $500 (which isn't on the cost of a new cell phone?).
  Looks like you need to replace the motherboard if you do not want to use the computer's internal keyboard correctly
  You said that the water was reversed on this laptop previously, I think that's the reason why this keyboard problem happened

  > Is it may be a registry tweak that can block the default browser to open this way?
  It s unclear not for me if something like this is not possible, but in my opinion has nothing to do with the software (register), but with the hardware problem caused by spilled water
  You could try to reinstall the clean Windows operating system in order to check if this will help you
  But if the new facility doesn't help then you should use the external keyboard because I doubt a replacement of the motherboard would be an option due to high costs.

• Can not switch to OSX Recovery Mode: looking for the keyboard and magic mouse

  I'm trying to reset my end 2012 Mac Mini 2.3GHz/i7/16GB to factory settings to try to get the machine a new lease on life.

  However, when I try to enter in Recovery Mode (in now command ⌘ + R when the system starts up), the machine will stop to a screen showing the instructions to turn on a magical keyboard and Magic Mouse.

  I have a trendy apple (USB) keyboard and a USB mouse is connected.

  How can I activate these entries, or how can I pass this screen looking for a keyboard/Magic Magic Mouse?

  [I guess one option is to use a magic mouse or a magical keyboard - I have in my office - but it is not sensible that you need them to access recovery mode].

  Thank you

  Got my Magic Mouse of the office, got into recovery mode. Surprised, you need a Magic Mouse, and who does not have a USB mouse to the recovery mode!

• Re: Satellite A10-S100 - how to replace the keyboard?

  I need to replace the card key of my Satellite A10-S100.

  What are the steps I should follow? I have to unscrew all the screws in the back?

  Hi mate,

  You never exchanged a keyboard or any other part of the equipment of a laptop? Well, maybe you should ask a technician for laptop help

  I m not Satellite A10 owner but normally you remove the keyboard first (between the keyboard and display) bracket. Under the keyboard support, you will find a few screw now the keyboard. Remove them and then you can lift the keyboard but be Ume with the cable on the underside of the keyboard.

  Good luck! :)
