Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 - screen flickers power on and off

Has anyone encountered a problem where the screen flickers power on and off? Mine will Dim to the point where you can't see whats happening and then back to normal.

I tried a restore drivers, but the problem persisted. I did also check complete anti-virus (I realize that it was probably not the cause of the problem, but decided to be complete). I was thinking that it's purely a hardware problem, like when I use an external monitor connected through a HDMI cable I don't have this problem.

I guess it must be a problem with the connection between the screen and the motherboard. Maybe a problem within the hinge where they cross connection.

Anyone got any other suggestions until I sent it off for repair (only he got in March and I have a 2 year warranty, but who goes back to college soon and do not want to be without him).

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 k 9.

Thanks in advance.

I agree with you, Fraser and think it could be hardware related issue but I don't in any way you can fix it alone. Your laptop must be controlled by the Toshiba service provider.

Contact the nearest service provider for Toshiba in your country, explain the situation and ask for help.

  • Problems of helmet speakers on dualboot Satellite Pro C50-A-1KV

    Hi all.

    I have a serious problem with Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-1KV. I have win7 x 64 and Ubuntu 14.04 x 64 on this machine. It was first installed Win7 and later Ubuntu 14.04.

    I tried to use the headset while I was logged on ubuntu and there is no sound, the sound was cut out of the speakers but headphones did not work, when I plugged it out I still have the sound on the speakers.

    After reboot I had no sound at all on ubuntu, and when I go to windows, the problem worsen for windows also. Right now it seems like some time the sound is on the speakers, but headset is dead, some time ago his headphones and speakers.

    I have no idea what is the cause of the problem. The win7 and ubuntu have been kept clean, only the updates have been downloaded. I think that the driver has some problems, but how could I make it work. To test, I tried to use Skype and there was a situation where I have the sound on the speakers and headphones, but then the microphone was death-_-'.

    I have a few pieces of it and the exact problem is on half of them. I have 2 deliveries.
    The first onewas ok, everything works. Either everyone has this problem :/

    I tried to make a backup on model where it is working and windows backup restore and install new ubuntu but it did not work.

    Any suggestions what may cause the problem or how to fix?

    I think you should first clarify whether your headset is OK.

    My theory is that your helmet could be faulty (maybe a broken cable or something like that) and that's why speakers and headphones will not work when the headset is plugged into the laptop.

    Laptop computer's headphones Jack supports a small switch that allows you to disable the speakers while the headphones are connected.

    If in case the headset is faulty, the speakers and the headphones would not work.
    So I think you should check the helmet first.

    If you are sure that the earphones are OK, then I think there could be a problem with the little switch in the headphone jack.
    Why? Because I can't imagine that this could be a software / driver problem because the same question is displayed using Linux as well as Windows System.

    The two systems are completely different and that a software / driver problem in both cases, it's almost unbelievable.

    However, I still recommend setting the laptop configuration using the procedure of recovery Toshiba in order to check if the noise problem using Toshiba preistalled system configuration and factory

  • Impossible to change the bright screen on Satellite Pro C50-A-143

    I run windows 8.1 and I could not change the brightness of the screen for a while now.

    It happened a few months before, but after a random number of days that it worked again, now it is stuck in about 60% bright max, which is not enough when the sun comes through the window.

    According to the Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-143 datasheet this laptop has been preloaded with Win 7 64 bit and Win additional 8.1 own drive was part of the package.
    I assume that you have installed own 8.1 win but have not installed all the drivers Toshiba win 8.1.

    Is this correct?

    Visit the page of the Toshiba UE driver, install all the drivers, tools and utilities (graphic card drivers display tool, driver Toshiba system, etc.)
    Utility function key Toshiba is very important if it is to use the key function (Fn, F1-10)

    Then you should be able to use the function key to decrease and increase the brightness of the display.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - screen Black/Brown problem

    Hi all

    I want to share one problem that I have with my cell phone, just to see if anyone of you already experience or maybe you know some options how to solve this problem.

    I bought a Satellite Pro C50 - A model in January 2014, with 8.1 Windows preinstalled. A few weeks ago, I lived for the first time the question.

    Work with the laptop, the screen turns off suddenly. The laptop still works, that I've already connected to another screen and keyboard and the mouse works, everything. Even if you focus a little bit on the screen of the laptop, you can see the shape of what I'm doing, but very very dark, almost extinct.

    First time it happened, I was able to fix after a few attempts, unplug the laptop DC and taking the battery, then pressing the power button / stop for 30 seconds. I had to do this several times, and then it started working.

    The issue seems to be fixed, but yesterday it happened again, with the bad luck that do the same process is not enough... He worked for 1 min and then it turned off again...

    I don't know what I can do, as last option I would like to reset to factory settings, but it's something I want to jump.

    I put t have this bad experience on my Toshiba machines but I sure it's material m unwanted and cannot imagine that recovery clean installation will change anything.

    In the past, some people have reported on similar problems, and the reason was bad FL inverter.
    The warranty is still valid, so I think that you contact the nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help.

  • Upgrade the screen on Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9

    Hello

    I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9 and I am very happy with it. However, I was wondering if there is a way to upgrade the screen for a full HD, one? And if yes, can you point out some retailers to do this, instead of the United Kingdom.

    I did a quick search online, but couldn't see anything. Currently deprived of sleep with my studies, so I'm not myself confidence haha.

    Thanks in advance.

    Fraser

    As much as I know these upgrades are not taken in charge and it is not as for me that Toshiba offers several different screens for each laptop model. In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service provider in your country and ask if a different view can be used on your machine. They have access to the database of Toshiba and can verify this.

    In general the laptop is as a sort of package of different hardware components. Some of them have the best hardware configuration and cost more than one sort of standard notebooks.

    Until you bought your laptop have you checked specification of the notebook?

  • Re: How to install Windows on the new Satellite Pro C50 8.1?

    I just bought a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50, that came with Windows 7 pre-installed.

    When you start the system for the first time, I simply close and put Windows 8.1 media into the optical drive (disc 1 of 4) then entered the Recovery Wizard and may have chosen the wrong option, because I completely erase the hard drive and partitions.

    Now that I did it, I can't find how to install the Windows Media Pro 4 DVD provided 8.1. I can't find the correct option to do this. I changed the startup option in the control panel by pressing F2 at startup, so it reads from the DVD player. The DVD starts but then takes me into a recovery area of the system, which is not good as I wiped the system completely.

    How can I just now to install the Pro 8.1 provided Windows on the clean system right now?

    Thanks for any advice.

    First, I would like to know what model of laptop you have exactly. If possible, please report the entire model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check the specification for this model of laptop.

    Did you buy this laptop as any new product and model in box?

    Anyway, if you have installation discs original recovery for this, you should be able to install it without problems. Start your laptop and press F12 to get into the boot menu. This menu wil shown on the screen, insert disc 1 into the optical disk drive, choose the CD/DVD drive from the menu, and then press ENTER.

    ODD must start reading Wizard disk / recovery will be shown o the screen. Choose the option to install out-of-box / factory settings and just follow menu on the screen.

  • Can I ask a new Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A - 1 K 9.
    I had a few problems with this laptop.

    First of all the battery too quickly after only a short period. I was sure it was just a bad battery, as it was fine when I got the laptop. I got a new battery, but the company that I had said that there is a known issue with the motherboard so that it was preferable to examine the issue. In the end, it turned out it was just a battery problem and he was replaced.

    My next question was that the screen flickered on and outside. It was never completely extinguished, but he went so dark, it was not usable.

    I've had the laptop picked up again and this time I was told that a new motherboard would be installed. Two weeks later I get the back of the laptop and some time then to a conference in Uni my screen flickered on and outside.

    Can anyone offer advice on what my rights are here? Can I ask for a new replacement? I am in my last few months at the University and I am on a course of systems and computer networks.

    I can't afford to be without my laptop, as the replacement I am getting are not good for what I need to do (example, last replacement loan has 2 GB of RAM, dual processor 2 GHz core, not good at all for the likes of I need to run virtual machines).

    Thank you

    This pity s and very annoying if laptop begin to hurt work and really need a bad luck if this happen twice in the line

    However, I don t think you will get a brand new replacement laptop of course that you could talk to you dealer if this replacement would be possible but I n t think the seller would accept this proposal.

    AFAIK all s laptop hardware problems will be corrected free of charge and this should be done by the authorized service provider

    So let's hope that unity will be fixed properly now

  • Satellite PRO C50-A-1KF - can't change brightness more

    Hey,.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite PRO C50-A-1KF. This week, we are unable to change the brightness and more.
    When we use the Fn + F4 combination, we have the small "widget" on the screen that goes for the brightness up/down. But the brightness of the screen itself does not change.

    No idea what can be wrong?

    Windows PS 10 is used as the operating system.

    Download and install Toshiba Service Station and install all the utilities found in there. You may need to first uninstall existing ones in the Panel.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - How to extend desktop to 3 monitors?

    Hello; I am trying to extend the desktop to three screens with Satellite Pro C50.
    Please, what can I do?

    As far as I know something like this, you need additional equipment. I assume that you need USB display adapter.
    Solution could be multi-monitor adapter Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital SE or similar device.

    Google around a bit and I hope that you find a device that you can use with your laptop.

  • Satellite Pro C50 - A - speakers don't put muted when headphones are

    This morning my Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 suddenly stopped, put Mute speakers when headphones are inserted. Previous messages solved this through a Realtek Control Panel that is not on my particular system.

    Hoping that the fix is easier just cannot find where to put the right parameters.

    Hello

    Usually when you connect earphones in sound properties > speakers of reading should be turned off and headphones must be listed as active.
    Just plug in the headphones and try to change these settings manually. Does not work properly when you do this?

  • Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 - how to merge partitions?

    My laptop is a Satellite Pro C50-A-1E4 running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.

    In receiving a year ago, I replaced the hard drive with a 256 GB SSD. I partitioned in a 60 GB C drive and a 192 GB D the rest drive is the hidden restore partition.

    I have install all the software on C and my personal stuff on D.
    Now, the C drive is nearly full, but there are a lot of free space on D.

    Can you advise me how reallocate for example 20 GB from D to C with nothing to lose?
    I would like to make a complete backup of the drive D.

    Basic support for Windows (seems to me) to sit on a hard drive where the bottles must be adjacent, but I'm assuming that does not apply to an SSD.

    Any help and advice would be appreciated.

    Thank you.
    Harold

    Hello

    I recommend you to use a 3rd party software called Gparted.
    http://gparted.org/LiveCD.php

    Its freeware software that allows you to change the partitions on SSD or HARD disk.

    You can create a bootable USB flash memory key and might start Notepad to change the partitions.

    This s really great freeware software.

  • Re: Windows 7 on Satellite Pro C50-A-1HQ

    I have a Satellite Pro C50-A-1HQ with windows 8.1 and I'm pretty tired of this OS because of problems with the use of disc 100% that I get sometimes and I have not been able to solve.

    I would like to install windows 7 in this labtop. Do you know if there is a problem with that? Windows7 will work fully? I need to change anything before I install it?

    Thanks to you all!

    I don't know what can be wrong with the use of disk, and I hope that you tried to optimize version of the OS preinstalled.
    I visited the Toshiba download on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp page and I found all the drivers, tools and utilities for Win7 64-bit if your machine is fully supported. To be honest I think that your machine will work fine and stable with Win7.

    Before do you anything create recovery disk (DVD or USB) using preinstalled Toshiba recovery disc creator and you can use it at any time if you have notebook with factory again.

  • Satellite Pro C50-A-1E2: problem get into BIOS after the activation of the quick start

    Hello

    I own Satellite Pro C50-A-1E2.

    Default hard drive has been replaced by a v300 kingston ssd. I also enabled quick start.
    I am trying to get into the BIOS but without success.

    I tried all possible combinations (Esc, DEL, f1, f2, f8, fn + esc, f1... fn)

    I found this piece of information through Googling: "press f2, and then press power. But always without success.
    Help with my problem?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Quick start can be enabled and disabled too using the Toshiba software called Desktop Help. Within this tool, you would find the HWSetup Toshiba and this part of software must contain the quick start option.

    Check it out.

    By the way: for some series laptop, press INS key then F2 worked too.
