• Satellite M50 of power not recognized

  Hi all

  When I turn on my Satellite M50, it did not recognize my diet out and under voltage of the supply battery.
  There is no problem with the computer before hand and there is no change of hard/software recently.

  The LCD screen on the front indicators are all dark even with connected electrical output power.
  I tried to have disconnected and reconnected as well as using other sources of output, but in vain.

  Help, please.

  Hello

  You want to hear my personal suggestion?
  So I think that there are only two possibilities;
  The power adapter is faulty or there is something wrong with the motherboard power supply.

  But first the AC adapter should be checked.

• Satellite M50 suddenly does not work

  I wonder if anyone can help?
  My Satellite M50 seems to have a number of very important issues:

  On booting, I hear a note very acute and rather than go automatically in Windows XP, I gives me a choice of F2 (Set Up) or F12 (Menu I think it is called). If I hit the button enter the noise goes and go into Windows XP as usual.

  However, I can't sound on the Satellite, either from a CD or a DVD inserted or a live video or
  audio clip. I checked the control panel and audio is not muted.

  Also, my 'e' character on the laptop does not register (press and no character comes on screen - I have to fix a new keyboard to the laptop to use the letter "e") BUT in Excel or when I put in a URL, I often get a complete line after the rank of the character "e" (without warning) that stops if I press the button "Esc".

  I don't know if I was infected by a virus (I have Avira AntiVir Personal) & Malaware programs on the laptop, but I would be grateful for any help on this problem.

  See you soon!

  Hello

  I think it s a keyboard problem.
  The sound that appears at the beginning of the startup procedure means that a hardware failure has been detected.
  In my opinion it s related to the keyboard, since you have no keyboard under Windows OS functionality.
  So I would get in touch with ASP in your country and to order a new keyboard for the replacement.

  Regarding the sound issue.
  I don't know what that might be, but actually the first step should be an update of the driver or a new installation.
  Check if there is no yellow/reclamation brand that reffers to the sound card!

  See you soon

• Satellite M50: Windows did not start because of a corrupted system file

  Hi all.

  I have a problem with my laptop Satellite M50. When you turn on the laptop, a message appears: "Windows did not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \windows\system32\config\system»

  I am aware of my product recovery CD-Rom and have inserted - however, I don't want to reformat my HARD drive as I have files I back (foolishly) not upward.

  Is there another method to repair the corrupted file without having to wipe all files on the HARD drive? (I don't have an XP CD - the operating system is loaded OEM when the laptop was purchased)

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  Hmm, using the repair console could be a good way to copy or replace the damaged or missing files on the HARD drive.
  BUT you need to start the console of Windows XP CD of original Startup Repair.
  Without this CD, you will not be able to repair the operating system. The Toshiba Recovery CD contains only image files and does not start the repair console.

  Now the question is; How to back up data.
  You can remove the HARD drive and connect it to the PC second via the external USB HARD disk controller.
  Then you should be able to copy important files on the second computer.
  After backup files you can start the installation from the recovery CD.

  Good luck

• Satellite M50 182 does not start

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M50-182.
  Since a few days I m faced a strange problem on my laptop.

  When I press the power button, it turns to blue light, as usual, I hear the fan for 2 seconds and after that the system stops immediately (I put t get any screen) and turns off.

  First I thought it might be a contact isolate but the same thing happens in battery mode. After several tests the system is in place, but it can take up to 5 minutes by pressing the power button.

  Y at - it an idea, that can cause this problem?
  Kind regards
  Philippe

  Hello!

  Try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
  Wait at least 30-40 minutes.
  Then connect the battery or the AC/DC adapter and try again.

  Otherwise, I'd go to a local ASP. I think that there is something wrong with the hardware (I think that CPU or the motherboard).

  Good bye

• Satellite M50-130 does not BSOD appears

  The M50-130 apparently won't let you run unless it is on the lowest power setting imaginable. At first I thought it was windows, reinstalled, even tried linux, same blockages.

  Blockages were handed over to instant zero or random messages on the BSOD. He continues to go with power setting as low.

  The strange is that he is not a homogeneous heat since I left it off and even without a block or anything plugged for hours and even in this case got the symptoms. To make it work, the only way is to leave the lowest imaginable setting on the thingimagy of power on the taskbar on the cpu and leave it there.

  I have used it on the establishment of an average of one day and worked, but then he hooked again on a game.

  I thought at some point it is the RAM, nope, checked and was not the only mistake I could get on the verification of memory, but a blocking/total system reboot.

  Then I thought it was the omega drivers, I replaced the with the default drivers of toshiba, always the same. Of course, I'm afraid that these driver updates could have a damaging effect, but anyway.

  The behavior of the random/blockages on BSOD messages seem to be quite randomly, but it seems to stabilize when I boot just windows and leave it on a lower power setting, I did ('1' constant cpu, consumption of energy optimal or 2 ")

  There is no guarantee and I really need a laptop NOW, so you'll understand that I'm left with two options: either quickly fix any way I can, or just buy a new laptop.

  Hello Lela

  Your troubleshooting is really impressive and everything you've tried is good, but you should ask yourself is it really something else you can try? I don't think so. If the problem persists after the installation of clean operating system (recovery image) then there must be a serious problem. I can't say with certainty what may be the problem but the technicians of the authorized service provider.

  Make a call and let check the laptop. They may be able to fix this YOUNG.
  Sorry, but I don't really see another option for you.

  In the end I just say: compare the price of repairs with prices of some new notebooks and I believe you all need to make the decision.

• 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!

• 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 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?

• 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 bridge-126 slot not available, why?

  A few months ago in the brochure of the satellite m50 - 126 it was specified that he was available a slot multibridge for sd cards memory sticks etc etc. I bought recently athat model a week ago and the multibridge slot is not available on my laptop. Why?

  Hello Alessio

  I understand you, but I checked your information and I find that Bridge Media Slot is optional and unfortunately you bought the device without it.

  You won't believe me, but sometimes it is according to the country where the laptop will be offered.

  Good bye

• No sound on Satellite M50, no matter what I try

  Hello.

  I have a fairly new and intact Satellite M50 and its great others that I can't hear any sound at all.
  (1) I adjusted all volumes and assured that mute is not on.
  (2) no problems in Device Manager
  (3) I tried Fn Esc
  external volume control 3) completely
  (4) the problem started when I unplugged (or plugged in) external speakers to the headphone jack, somehow this which seems to be invalid cell phones, speakers, computers that worked very well until the external apeakers were attached.
  (5) on another thread, I noticed that there is a switch inside the headphone jack that disables the speakers, is there a way to check if this is the problem and any way to fix.

  Any help much appreciated as I am a student and I really listen to conferences stored on the laptop.

  Thank you
  Dominic

  Please connect the headphones or external speakers to the headphone jack.
  If the sound is displayed then the sound card and audio driver are ok and that there must be a problem with the switch inside the plug headphones.
  Maybe the switch inside the phone plug stuck

  I put t think that it of possible to detach this I think that the plug needs to be replaced.
  But to be 100% sure, you should ask someone with more experience as technicians service partner

• Satellite M50 161 - how to set up the WIFI connection?

  I use my Satellite as a second computer. My PC is primary and is using a NETGEAR card.

  I used a card reminder in wireless cards because my home office is a bit far from the PC.

  Of course, my laptop has its own part of the ways to get online.

  I've always taken for granted connection. I don't even remember the 1st time I am connected. In fact an engineer could have done to the delivery!

  PC had problems connecting. Host Web server problems. I was expecting sort of my laptop to connect in any case, as it could / should connect to it's own wireless installation to get online. I'm not an expert as you realize.

  It dawned on me while I had no idea how to switch on and connect using the built-in wireless card that not Netgear obviously. Or I'm expecting a lot and the lap top is actually a slave to my PC connection and always will home in on the netgear connection.

  BTW, I'm back online via the netgear but would like to know. Excuse my ignorance...

  Hello

  To be honest I m a bit confused.
  I put t know exactly what you want to do.

  You want to connect the laptop to the other PC via WiFi or connect the Satellite M50 to the WLan router as usual?

  If you want to connect to the Wlan router and then activate the wireless card on the laptop with the WLan switch on the side of the laptop and the FN + F9 key combination.
  Then configure settings such as the SSID, encryption, Mac address, etc. by using windows has the configuration settings or 3rd party software like utility Intel ProSet or Atheros client utility (depending on the Wlan card).

  For more details you can visit the Toshiba Wlan Portal

  Your old Toshiba Satellite M50 probably cannot be upgraded to Windows 7, but go here: http://support.toshiba-tie.co.jp/windows7/upgrade_cae.htm

  What is Windows XP "ATM"?  Right-click on desktop and select Properties.  What version of WIndows XP, including the service pack is shown here?

  What do you mean by 'symbol wireless "?

  Either the light near the wireless switch on the front of the laptop on or off? It will power on and off when you change the switch setting?

  Open network connections (start > run > ncpa.cpl > OK) and list all the icons that you see there.
