• Satellite L550-1CW does not start by pressing the power button / stop

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L550-1cw that won't start, lights up when I press the power button all the lights at the front, the fan starts and he is looking for a HARD drive for about 2 seconds and then stops.

  I tried a new HARD drive, but the same happens.
  I was told that all this must be ignored and buy a new one that is not an option.
  I love this laptop and want to run again as this is the best I have ever owned.

  Help, please

  Can you give us more information on this vulnerability?
  You see something on the screen after pressing the power button?
  You can access the BIOS by pressing the F2 key immediately after switching on the device?

  Despite this whole issue, I think that if nothing is visible on the screen it could be a serious problem with one of the following: RAM modules, motherboard, CPU/GPU.

  From my experience the RAM memory modules are not very expensive (2nd hand might be good enough) and the replacement isn t very delicate in the case where the faulty memory causes this problem, the laptop could be set for a little money.

  But in case of problems of motherboard, laptop repair procedure could be very expensive.

  Hello

  To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly. To me it sounds like it's your touchpad isn't working properly, you have tested an external mouse and how does it work?
  For example, you can disable the touchpad by pressing FN + F9.

  In addition you can try reinstalling the latest drivers for touchpad of Toshiba's official website.

• How to avoid ruining the recovery on Satellite L550 partitions

  Hi all

  I recently bought the Satellite L550/010. I'll put another OS on it, but I want to assure you that I can still retrieve its state of origin. It came with the following partitions:

  First partition (1.5 GB): contains the directories 'Boot', 'recovery', 'System Volume Information' and 'bootmgr', file 'WinREPartition.ini '.
  Second partition (454GB): looks like windows C:
  Third partition (11FR): contains the directories 'bin', 'boot', 'images_boot', etc. and files 'bootmgr', 'data.ini', 'editaf.bat', etc.

  So, my questions:
  What is the role of each of these partitions? Those who can remove and still be able to use the method of "restoration of the recovery partition? Who can remove and always use the method of "restoration of recovery disks?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  above all, don't forget to make a recovery disk.

  > What is the role of each of these partitions?
  > First partition (1.5 GB)

  This recovery utility that begins d image to local hard drive file recovery

  > Second partition (GB 454):

  There is a partition where to install your current operating system

  > Third partition (11FR)
  This is the folder of hard disk image to restore the factory settings of.

  Installation of any other Os will move partition and you will not be able to restore the factory settings by using hard disk image file (F8 at startup). This is why I advise you to burn a recovery disk if you decide to install another Os. In this case, a recovery disk will restore factory settings

• How to partition the Hardrive on Satellite L550?

  Will set up the new Satellite L550 WINPro and partitioned the HDrive which, on the finish, did not show the "C" drive with the partition I have allocated to it as usable. I called the support & informed the other space I had partitioned was hidden and unusable. Support could not advise me how to re - install 2 partitions can be used out of their allocation of work to do.

  I'm used to Sony Vaio XP where you can partition the disks as much as you want which are all usable. The beauty of having a separate drive to store your documents and other sensitive files on, is that, if you ever get to make a recovery, the partitioned drive assigned to these is not lost.

  You are not sure if Toshibas are capable of it?

  Can someone help with how partition USEFUL disks on this laptop please?

  Thanks in advance.

  To be honest I don t know if Satellite L550 procedure nine collection or old, but I know that new Satellite A660 has it with works by great walls. I'll try to explain it and you check to see if the same thing can be done on your laptop satellite

  -Recovery starts and you will see a WARNING at the beginning
  -on the next step, you can choose factory default software recovery
  -on this next step choose the custom size partition recovery recovery method (on this point, you can choose the size of the C drive, where the operating system must be installed
  -continue and complete the installation of recovery

  When the BONE is completely installed, you will see a partition C only (Windows Explorer). Enter computer management and go to disk management. On the right side, you will see the structure of HARD drive and a large unallocated area (black color). Use this box to create own partition/partition (logical drive).

• Satellite L550 PSLW8A can only get OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to 64-bit?

  Hi all

  I am writing from Australia.

  Two weeks ago, I bought a new laptop Toshiba ([http://tinyurl.com/ye6jkuq]) with the following characteristics:

  Model: Satellite L550
  Reference number: PSLW8A-01101F
  BIOS: V1.60
  CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
  RAM: 4 GB
  HARD DRIVE: 500 GB
  OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (OEM preinstalled)

  My question:
  How can I switch to Win7 Pro * 32 - bit * for Win7 Pro * 64 - bit *?

  If I use the recovery disk (the hidden recovery partition) utility to do a clean reinstallation of Win7 Pro, I will give the choice during the process of resettlement of the installation either the 32-bit version or 64-bit?

  Or I have + not + get the choice at all and simply be limited to the OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit that came pre-installed version?

  All advice or information about how to pass OEM Win7 Pro 32-bit to Win7 Pro 64-bit would be appreciated.

  Nick

  Hello

  AFAIK almost all new laptops are available with 32 and 64-bit OS and two recovery images are saved on the HARD drive.
  When you start installation HARD drive you should see the option to choose which version must be installed.

  Simply start the installation of HARD drive and you will see what menu you will see at the beginning. Not be afraid to do so. Nothing will happen.
  Real OS installation starts two steps later. If you can not damage preinstalled OS.

• Shrinking Bootcamp partition and add space for Macintosh HD

  Guys, after helping me with my previous question, my Macbook is almost as I want it to be. As said, I have a Macbook Pro 15 "retina end 2013 with OS X El Captain (later) and in addition, a Bootcamp with Windows partition 8.1." It's that everything works fine now, but the partition Windows 8.1 has 300 GB and my score only 80 GB hard drive Macintosh.

  I wanted to shrink the partition, Bootcamp in Windows 8, 1 with Minitool Partition software but, obviously, when I reduce this score I get unallocated space that I can't turn into a new partition because I have 4 partitions in the MBR slot. So, what is the best way to reduce my Bootcamp partition and add space on the Macintosh HD partition?

  Thank you very much!

  Remove the Boot Camp partition, and Windows using Boot Camp Assistant. Then start to affect the size of the Boot Camp partition you want.

• Can I use another laptop with Satellite L550-129 adaptor?

  Hello

  My Satellite L550-129 card is broken. (dc 19 V ~4.7 (A).

  Can I use an adapter of a mini laptop Toshiba NB500-135? (dc 19 V ~ 1.58 A)

  It is therefore the same Volt but a lower amp, can I damage something?

  Greetings,

  Bart

  Hello

  Volt value must be the same! It is very important to avoid than anything.
  In your case, the same value of Volt AC to other support adapter, so you won't damage anything other THAN the value of the intensity is very low and I guess that the adapter does not provide enough power for L550 notebook. For example: recharge the battery would take much more time.

  However, I think you could check it simply as mentioned; you won't damage anything.

  On many models of Toshiba WLAN switch is no longer available and WIFI/BT will be enabled/disabled with function keys (FN keys). To work, you must install added Toshiba Value Package and Toshiba Flash Cards Support utility.

  You have two of them? Check please if Toshiba flash cards are listed in the startup (run > msconfig > startup).
  By the way: you can use the keys FN + Fx?

  The fact is that not all series of phones are supported you will need to test

  The L500/L550 don't seem to support the switch WLan hardware, but just that the FN + F8 key combination. The downside is that you can not activate the WLan if the compatible driver that controls the FN keys would not be installed.

  I read about it in a few discussions, but unfortunately without the use of FN + F8, you will not be able to activate the WLan. :(

• Satellite L550 and BT to my headphone connection

  I want to connect a headset bluetooth Philips for my Toshiba Satellite L550 - 13 c. (windows 7 64) What is the best way to do this?, if there is a way. The only thing I could find is one to activate bluetooth that I had to use the FN in combination with F8.

  But still, I am not able to detect or connect the bluetooth headset to my computer.

  Thanks for any advice.

  The question just the beginning for you: are you using the original preinstalled recovery (OS) image that you got with your laptop?

  I just want to know if all the software, including the BT software (battery Toshiba BT) are preinstalled on your computer.

• Satellite L550 - lack drivers for Bluetooth

  Attempts without end to get my cell phone Nokia 7230 working with the Bluetooth on my Toshiba Satellite L550, but nothing happens. When I try to download the drivers, it says plug it. Also, I get this message of Nokia PC Suite.

  I get the message that the three drivers are missing, 6to4 map ISATAP M/S M/S & M/S Teredo Tunneling adapter card.
  All attempts to repair through the Microsoft site failed, & the only suggestion is "computer to contact manufacturer.

  The computer is still under warranty, purchased in France where I still live.
  Just to add to my misery, Windows 7 is in French, which is not making things easier, because English is my mother tongue.

  Should I just give up & buy a USB cable & forget Bluetooth?

  Hello

  Are you sure that portable supports the internal Bluetooth adapter?
  Check if you have a BT label at the bottom of the unit
  Maybe the laptop does not support the BT module and so you are not able to connect the phone to this unit

  If the laptop supports an internal BT module, you must reinstall the BT stack which you can find here:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

  FYI: you can activate the BT using FN + F8
