• Question - loop on Satellite L350-170 Windows error recovery

  Toshiba Satellite L350-170 - Intel Pentium Dual Core T3200 2.00 GHz, 2 GB, 250 GB, 17 "TFT, DVDSM, VHP

  My wife bought three weeks ago. Use of the lamp. Everything works fine, until a dialogue of "Startup Repair" appeared. Since then, the machine starts.

  Machine goes into "Windows Error Recovery" immediately after the Toshiba start screen and has the following options;
  (1) run the Startup Repair tool
  (2) start Windows normally

  Option 2 results in a blank screen and finally goes back to the screen "Windows Error Recovery".

  Option 1 has the reboot dialog box;

  "Your computer was unable to start.
  Startup Repair is checking your system for problems... »

  At this point, the Toshiba laptop enters an endless loop.

  So what I do now? There is no disc came with the laptop, so I can't reinstall the operating system. The dealer (Comet) is less useful and don't know no refund or Exchange for a defective product.

  Can someone please!

  Try this:

  Press F8 immediately after that the laptop has been turned on.
  Then choose the first option called fix my computer.
  Then a new window should open and there you can choose the option called Toshiba recovery.

  Please note then this procedure would start the Toshiba HDD recovery and the BONE to relocate again. This would be to format the whole HARD drive and set the OS to the factory settings.

  In my eyes, you can use this procedure for recovery of HARD drive, or you can try to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.
  Both lead to the same results

  Good bye

• Satellite L350-17Z: Question recovery disc creation - problem with calibration

  I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

  So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

  Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

  Hi Snen,

  It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

  And what kind of DVD that you use to create a recovery disk? I have good experience with the types of DVD - R and I use Verbatim.

  In addition, the microphone is located on near the microphone because it s part of the webcam.

• Satellite L350-171 - where to get the DVD to upgrade Toshiba (Vista to W7)

  Hello world

  I have a Satellite L350-171 and got a W7 DVD update "awhile." I get only round to install now and the first thing I see in the instructions, it's that I should have a upgrade DVD Toshiba, which I did :-(

  Anyone know where I can get one, or if I need any? If not then can I just upgrade and hope that all drivers updated automatically? Sounds a bit risky

  I hope this is the right place to ask.
  If it isn't then point me in the right direction and I'll ask here rather :-)

  Thanks in advance for any help

  Damian

  A few years ago, Toshiba offered this upgrade program.
  It's over and you can't upgrade drive more.

  What you can do is be upgraded using the original disc of Microsoft, but I think you should do clean install Win7. Your model of laptop is supported for Win7 and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  Before starting with the upgrade Win7 create original Vista recovery DVDs.
  If you need assistance with installing Win7 or if you have other questions, you are welcome.

• Update hard disc on Satellite L350 - 10L

  Hello

  Anyone has improved their Satellite L350 - 10L for one SSD hard drive and if so, have you noticed a difference and the big question, was easy?

  Thank you
  Chris

  Hello Chris

  Very long ago I had Satellite L300 and this series is known for me.
  At that time I didn't even think about these updates.
  The Satellite L Series notebooks are machines of low budget and hardware configuration is not one that suits.
  In other words, they are designed for daily activities. I can understand that you may want to increase the performance of your hardware, but my personal opinion is that the SSD is not the best solution. In my opinion you should not spend a lot of money for upgrades. Memory improve maximum and that s.

  What do you think of all this?

• Satellite L350-277 - how to recover to factory settings?

  I had a lot of problems with my Satellite L350-277. I had already created a recovery to help drive the Tech that was installed on the laptop guy.

  In any case, it is time to reinstall again to the State of the plant. Thoughtless I pulled a drive of my computer Vista laptop satellite (I thought it was the original disc). All goes well until it restarts after you install windows system. On the screen was the warning that the product key was wrong, that's when I noticed the Vista on the screen. So I tracked down to the copy I made, it was not in the channel where I put the original his was among all the garbage I've had in the area (where I put all the waste). He was full of scratches and it does not load.

  What I had actually done using the Vista disc has been clear the program on the D drive that reads from Windows 7. I ended up going to the PCWorld Tech guys. They have reinstalled windows 7 for the cost of £50. I didn't mind that I got my laptop working again. What I did not know according to them, was I can't create a recovery disk.

  So to my question. Can I get my laptop back with all Toshiba knick knacks, so that its possible to create a restore disk. If not, can I get a Windows 7 disc installation program, download all drivers & create a restore disk in case of something that happens and I can reinstall windows 7? Get cramps in my fingers now. I'm not going on a little lol.

  Hey Buddy,

  That s a little confused is your story...

  Normally you get factory settings if you are using the Toshiba recovery disc. It will restore the pre-installed Windows version that came with your laptop.

  If you have Windows 7, you can t create a Toshiba Recovery disk. Only possible on what s preinstalled Windows from Toshiba, but if you install your own copy, you can create such a floppy.

  If you have the original operating system back, you can order a recovery disc Toshiba here:

• Satellite L350-12N - RAM upgrade

  Specifications for my Toshiba Satellite L350-12N said as below

  Standard system memory: 2 048 (1 024 + 1 024) MB
  maximum scalability: 2 048 MB
  technology: DDR2 RAM (667 MHz)

  "Maximum extension" means that my hardware of the laptop can accommodate a maximum of 2 GB? or a maximum of 4 GB?

  I don't mind how 64-bit or Windows XP/Vista/7 support. My question is related to the physical ability of this laptop.

  Thank you
  Rudra

  According to specification for laptop, your laptop can handle with up to 2 GB of RAM.
  You cannot improve it up to 4 GB.

  If you already have 2 GB inside it is already up.

• Can satellite L350 - 20G - I put the CPU?

  Just got a Satellite L350 - 20G with a Celeron T1600 and I was wondering if anyone new what processors are compatible with what I think the upgrade? I was thinking the Intel Pentium Dual T3400, but is there something faster?

  Thank you

  Hello!

  Just a question: why do you think an upgrade of CPU so just got this laptop? Why you didn t buy a laptop with Pentium processor?

  In any case, an upgrade of the CPU is not supported and you will lose the warranty. In addition, I think that the BIOS and motherboard do not work with the other CPU.
  If n t believe you, see this article:

• Satellite L350 & WIn XP - graphics driver issue!

  Hi all!

  OK, what I'm going to do, is to install win XP on my PC laptop Toshiba L350! I am clear on all of the information, how to install and all as well!

  My question is about the PILOT VIDEO! My friend installed win XP on his laptop, the same, but with 16 "display! everything is functional and ok! but he could not find a video driver.
  Laptop has the version of the driver Mobile Intel (r) 965 Express Chipset Family 7.14.10.1329, which has been updated to 2007-09-13 :) it is vista driver!

  I tried to update via windows, but he see for me that this driver is the best for me: D ok! so my question is. I found the driver for WIN XP-> driver version Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family 14.37.1.5029, updated on 24/01/2009. Here is the link if anyone need-> [DRIVER: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProductID=2800&DwnldID=1735 3 & strOSs = 44 & OSFullName = Windows * % 20XP % 20Professiona l & lang = eng]

  It's going on my Toshiba L350 without problem? on XP?

  Please inform me of your video drivers, maybe I'm doing something wrong! See you soon! :) Sorry for my bad grammar! :)

  Hello

  On the Toshiba site, I can find a newer driver for Windows XP for the Satellite L350, version 14.29.1.4833.

  In your case I would take this pilot because with the Toshiba drivers, you are on the safe side and they work without problems. I always choose the drivers of Toshiba and never had any problems with it.

• Satellite L350-171 dead after 2 weeks

  Hi all

  I bought a Satellite L350-171 2 weeks of Tesco Direct. Went to the Toshiba brand because of rumors of reliability. A few days before, the computer could not turn on. Tried unplugging the charger/etc, but no joy. Called Support technique of Toshiba who said it looks like a hardware failure. No lights on the front - normally a yellow light indicates when the charger is connected. The charger is off 19V so I'm sure that's not the issue.

  The last thing that happened was a Windows update that requires a restart, but there is no way a software problem will result in the hardware failure.

  Toshiba suggested I ask Tesco for a replacement as it is less than 28 days old (which I did!). My questions are:

  (1) what type of hardware failure can cause the cell go dead without showing any sign of death?
  (2) the Satellite L350 series there the problems known - this happen with my replacement?
  (3) I am wrong to believe in the reliability of Toshiba?
  (4) anyone suggest some things I can try to bring back to life?

  Thank you

  I'm sorry to hear you have such a problem with your laptop. my brother has had similar problem and ASP has set in only 5 days. Now he's happy again with its A300 Satellite again.

  (1) what's happening with your laptop? It is not easy to say what was wrong there and we can only speculate on this but I think that the ESF may be responsible for this. Faulty electronic board I assume.
  (2) this can happen with all computer laptop and we cannot say that this can happen on Satellite L350 only. If you want you can check out this forum and see what write other people on L350.
  (3) this problem can happen with 1,000 other products too. If you buy a Ferrari and gearbox is defective after only 100 km would you buy Ferrari again? I think you're going to do this. ;)
  (4) according to me, there is nothing you can do. Try to get the replacement.

  Good luck!

• Re: Satellite L350-231: BootMGR is missing

  Dear people,

  2 days ago my laptop had an automatic update, so I restarted my laptop and then he repeated a mistake then I thought ok the update was wrong.

  I put my CD to repair in (which I was when I received the laptop) and now I'm missing bootMGR.

  People told me that I can download an OEM legally and use the product key on the computer laptop auto.

  Now my question someone knows how to fix this?
  or someone knows more about the OEM?

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L350 - 231 system unit.

  I hope hear from you soon.

  Kind regards

  Flying

  > People told me that I can download an OEM legally and use the product key on the computer laptop auto.
  No, all I know is not possible. The serial number at the bottom of the device belongs to the preinstalled Windows 7 and can not be used with other versions of Windows 7.

  > Now my question someone knows how to fix this?
  Well, the Boot Manager is required to start the operating system. If Boot Manager is damaged the operating system cannot be started, even if Windows is installed.
  So either you can repair the BMR or you install the operating system once more.

  To repair the BMR, you need the original CD of Windows 7 (or Vista). You cannot use the recovery disk to repair the OS because the Toshiba Recovery disk format the whole HARD drive and installs the whole image. So, you need the Microsoft disk.

  Alternatively, you can set the laptop back to factory settings by using the recovery disk and the recovery disc can be ordered here:

• Slow Satellite L350

  I have a Satellite L350 laptop, is starting to slow, until Windows, the sreen of toshiba stays for 5 minutes and then windows starts. When I am removing the dvd drive, it normally. Is not any problems for windows.

  Thanks for the help!

  Hello
  > When I am removing the dvd drive, it normally. Is not any problems for windows.
  I put t really understand what you mean exactly by saying: withdrawal of the DVD player

  Did you really take the drive CD/DVD of the ODD Bay s laptop computer?
  The Toshiba splash screen that appears at the beginning of the year, usually indicates this laptop is running the POST (power on self test). During this test, the hardware would be verified.

  The question is: is the CD/DVD drive works and work properly?
  You are able to use wisely.
  If there is no problem, I suppose that the CD/DVD drive is OK and there must be another reason why the home Toshiba screen does not disappear after a few seconds

  Could be the problem or the motherboard BIOS problem

• Satellite L350-H20 HDD / SATA-Controller Driver

  Hello

  yesterday, I tried to reinstall Windows 7 x 64 (and/or Windows 8) on my laptop. When I got to the screen where you can select the partition / drive to install the OS on, I wanted to delete all them were leaving (C: and D :) and recreate them for a bigger partition C:.)

  There was also a (System?-) partion with about 100 MB, do not remember the name yet, but I deleted it, too.
  I guess it was my big mistake, because then the installation has failed, and when I tried to restart, the screen where you set the partion was empty.

  No disk, none of the partitions is displayed.
  In the BIOS disk HARD is always displayed.

  So I think that, on this partition of 100 MB mysterious were drivers for the HARD disk or the SATA controller.
  I already searched the internet, Toshiba and HP Intel support center (because the SATA controller is done by intel) but I have not found the right drivers. I found a few tools like [this one | http://www.toshiba.de/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=DE&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 178 & selProduct = 790 & selSho rtMod = 773 & language = 17 & selOS = 29 & selType = all & yearupl = DST & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = all Machines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 12 & electedLanguage s = 17 & type = all & page = 3 & ID = 68573 & DISO = 2 9 & driverLanguage = 42] , but it is an application that cannot be incorporated as driver installation (can?)

  So my question is: where can I find the right drivers for my HARD drive respectively the SATA controller?

  Thank you very much!

  Hello

  As far as I know that the Satellite L350 - 20 H belongs to the PSLD8E series.
  All the drivers for this unit are on the page of the Toshiba UE driver
  The same page that you posted your original message.

  The Storage Manager seems to be the right package that contains the SATA driver.
  But I put t think that your problem is related to the missing SATA driver.

  The fact is that the HARD drive and partitions were visible before you delete the partition, and you have not added the SATA drivers.
  So I guess that the HARD drive needs to be formatted before you start the installation of the OS

  Guess what? Download and create a partition bootable stick usign the GParted Live free software
  Then you could boot from the USB key, could start the GParted and could create new partitions. After this attempt to boot from the new drive Win 7

• My experience using MS Synctoy on Satellite L350

  It is using the excellent and free MS Synctoy to synchronize the laptop and desktop computers all works beautifully on WiFi, but there are one or two oddities to know.

  I'm just thrilled to have this machine works again. And what a beautiful machine. I can't believe how fast it is. My office is similar spec. around a 2.2 Ghz dual core Pentium, 2 Gb RAM etc, but the little Toshiba is much, much faster. And a sharp screen PIN as well. I think it's way of s of great hint that my desktop computer needs a complete reinstallation. Dell I have used for the last six months, or two is not going to get a look in.)

  No problems as far as I am concerned, but I hope it will be useful to anyone trying to do the sync or backup on a Windows XP or a version later L350 or another Toshiba.

  SyncToy is not well known. Curious. It should really be an automatic installation of Windows. It began, I think, as a beta only, but is now in full version. But you have to download it from Microsoft. Download £ MS Synctoy just type in a search engine, and you will find it.

  It works very simply, from the point of view user s. strictly speaking, you only need an installation on the master machine that never should be. You set up pairs of folder to synchronize for example My Documents on your laptop and the same folder on any other machine. Wi - Fi networks are not a problem.

  There are various, largely explicit options but the I'm going for is sync. All the files on the master machine new, updated or modified are duplicated to the slave machine and the clever bit, vice versa. The first copy is inevitably a lengthy process. In my case, about 6.5 GB. After that, it is very fast. It identifies what are its needs to copy files, and only those who are transferred. Whatever it is.

  I got a little lazy and have Synctoy installed on my Toshiba L350, as well as on my desktop computer. So I can push a synchronization to another end.

  Please be aware that Synctoy, in its current version, shall, at least on Windows XP Pro, Installe.net 2.0. This me raised slightly towards the top. I had installed. Net4, thinking that all earlier versions would be grouped in. They are not. Download installers for. Net1, 2.5, and 3 to ensure that your computer has all the angles covered.

  Like Synctoy, why they are not included in the default Windows install is beyond me. Drunk, they are all free.

  PON there we have it. My Satellite L350 will now synchronize form anywhere in the House or the garden via Wi - Fi. Or vice versa. Three clicks of the mouse is done.

  The only thing I can't seem to synchronize is MS Outlook 2003. MS insist to buy the Exchange Server for this, which is annoying. I know that the ports in the software are here. My mobile (Nokia) automatically synchronizes with Outlook, like Yahoo! Mail. But I put t know how.

  The only round (fairly easy) way is to export a .pst from Outlook file to a location of your choice in the folder that you want to synchronize (for example, My Documents) and then import it on the guest computer. But it's a slight pain compared to the progress otherwise Synctoy effortlessly.

  Please note, that I have no interest in Toshiba, or any of the software mentioned here. It is just designed to help anyone wanting to synchronize. their Toshiba laptop with one or several other machine or vice versa.

  (Kind words on another thread regarding my Satellite L350 obtaining go after a relocation complete. M. X. Merci again for all your help absolutely invaluable.

  Nice to see you here in the forum ewen :) and thanks for sharing your experience with us! Marry Christmas!
