Upgrade the HDD in Equium M50-192

Hi all

I have a laptop Equium M50-192 with the HDD 60 GB MK6021GAS inside.
Does anyone know if I can improve it with the hard disk of 120 GB MK1646GSX.

I found the site http://www.storage.toshiba.eu and I checked the two discs; but I don't know if the MK1646GSX disk has a compatible interface type.
I am confused about the differences between ATAPI/IDE (60 GB MK6021GAS) and Serial ATA (120 GB MK1646GSX).

Basically can anyone tell me if the 120 GB MK1646GSX will work instead of the 60 GB MK6021GAS?

Any help gratefully received.

Zoe

Hello

There is a big difference between the IDE HDD and the SATA HDD interface!

Equium M50 supports the IDE interface and only IDE hard drives are compatible.
You can use a HARD drive that supports IDE ATA-6 interface.

In addition, you should know that the BIOS supports a HARD drive size limitation. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported.
In my opinion the 120 GB should be ok but it s just my personal suggestion. You know? ;)

  • Equium M50-192 - upgrade to Windows 7

    I have an Equium M50 - 192, model No. PSM59E-003008AV, running on XP.
    My PC is Windows 7 and I have two machines on the same OS.

    Windows 7 Advisor on the Microsoft website shows that this M50 - 192 is suitable for an upgrade.
    I have already increased the memory to 2 GB.

    However, when I checked the Web from Toshiba site for pilots, there seems to be no driver Windows 7 for M50 - 192.

    Means that I can not upgrade to Windows 7?

    Hello

    Of course, you can install the Win 7 OS even if Win 7 drivers are not available for this unit.

    From my experience the Win 7 automatically looks for drivers and in most cases, the drivers are automatically installed in my case I didn t need to install the display in addition driver Win 7 found the drivers during the installation and process installation

  • How to reset my Equium M50-192 to factory settings?

    Hi, I'm looking for some advice on my laptop.

    My laptop is a Toshiba Equium M50-192 and I would like to reset to the factory settings (on the box).

    I was advised by a friend that I need a recovery disk, but I don't seem to have one. Again, I have everything that came with the laptop when I bought it and have the different discs that came with it, but no recovery disk and have not been able to find the information I need the user manual.

    Is there a way I can reset my laptop without a disc?

    Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    > Is there a way I can reset my laptop without a disc?
    It is not possible to reset to factory without reinstall drive settings. You have only one option: get Microsoft WXP installation disc and install the version of the OS.

    All the drivers, which you can download from the Toshiba support page.
    You can also try, it is to find if someone has the original disc of recovery for this machine and ask if you can get a copy.

    I have an EQUIUM M50 192 with program DVD + rewritable, but when dounlowding photos from the computer on a DVD in order for playback on other media, it won't work

    WHY?

    Hi Mich

    It's not easy to say why it doesn t work. I put t know what program brining you use and what DVD media you are using but it possible s that your use not taken in charge that the media or that you have not closed the session of engraving, etc.

    As you can see, there are many possibilities. I use the Nero burning rom software for burning CDs and DVDs. I also created a photo DVD to watch on the TV and it works perfectly.
    You should test this program. Maybe you're successfully.

  • Beep codes Equium M50-192

    Hello

    I have a laptop Equium M50-192, who decided to stop working.

    I get 4 short beeps when I turn it on. The power led lights and fans start but the screen does nothing.

    Where can I find beep codes mean?

    Thank you
    Dan

    Hello

    It's not easy to say what could be wrong. Beep codes usually appear because the computer MESSAGE fails.
    If the Unit falls down the POST (Power on self test) beep code indicates which is originally the laptop does not pass the POST.
    The problem is that the bee codes are not standard and each BIOS provides different meanings of postcodes!

    As far as I know your device was shipped with Phoenix BIOS if you can try to google a bit for the Phoenix BIOS post codes.

    However, for most hardware failure is responsible for these problems. You can try to check the functionality of memory modules.
    Remove the simple modules and check if some of the memory fails.

  • Equium M50-192 - startup problem

    I have a recently purchased EQUIUM M50-192 who developed a problem starting, a week after the purchase. To try to put the following happens
    Press the button power
    Turn on the light appears
    H/D light access appears
    CD-ROM flashes twice
    Then cut the power

    It passes through this sequence also if I open the lid, which suggests that the pc is in standby, IE opening the lid starts above sequence, as if you press the power button / stop.

    The same happens to a power supply (shows, seeing attatched and battery charge indicator) or only to batteries, also tried with battery but running.
    Have tried boot boot from CD via the F12 key and power at the same time but no luck with that, as mentioned above, I think the computer think it is somehow sleep and does not need to access the restore normal startup sequence. Can't find anything in the documentation re this implies a fault. Currently may not resume as collateral as abroad with out the paperwork he's come up with, for the next 6 weeks.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance

    Hi, have you tried to remove the battery and then put back? Is also the adapter work correctly is the status light indicate a complete change?
    If you still not the laptop so that it starts then you don't have much choice but to the send it to Toshiba for investigation.

    Hello

    I completely agree with Akuma. If the same error occurs after installation of recovery it seems to be a graphics card problem.

    Before turning to an authorized service provider, you should try to update the BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    If the new version of the BIOS doesn't help, you need help from the ASP. Maybe the motherboard should be replaced.

  • Withdrawal of the keyboard on Equium M50

    Hey people

    Hope one of you can help out me. I'm looking to upgrade the memory on the Equium M50 - 164 I and am stuck in the removal of the keyboard. I've updated the memory in the expansion to 1 GB port and all is well. I now want to spend another memory location 1 additional GB. I checked the types of speeds of memory etc... and have the correct memory, however, I can't for the life of figure me out how to remove the keyboard without breaking clips and plastic!

    Any help or get detailed instructions on the removal of the keyboard would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

    Gas

    Hello

    Have you found that one slot at the bottom of the device memory or why you want to remove the keyboard?

    I m not 100% sure but in my opinion the two slots should be placed at the bottom of the unit and the removal of the keyboard is not necessary.

    Anyway, the Equium M50 is unknown to me but I think that the keyboard was fixed by 2 screws above the keyboard. If you want to remove the screws to remove first the cover plastic thin above the keyboard.
    Then you should be able to set the keyboard but do not forget that you have also disconnected the ribbon cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard.

    Hello!

    What happens to an error you get? Please post what we can help you.

    To be honest that I n don't know what you mean with clip Ribbon keyboard but if the keyboard is faulty or something else, the keyboard completely must be exchanged. You are not a unique key or something else.
    If you want a new keyboard or other spare parts contact your local ASP.

  • Equium M50-192: battery issue

    Hello

    Basically, my problem is that whenever my laptop battery is in and I also have the AC too, the battery automatically takes over from HQ if the battery is flat. Ive had only the laptop about 2 months and it started only recently to happen.

    Alternating current only also up a little battery, and then stops to load. And to top it off the laptop sometimes just turns off by itself when its only run off ac power. Worsened in the last week and now I cant charge the battery upward and the computer laptop is always just turn off so I can use the laptop yet.
    Before you suggest it, I tried to take the battery and the ac and them plug it back and also tried to use only the ac with the removed battery but there has been no improvement.

    It's very frustrating because I take care of property (I rarely move) and it has been great so far.
    I think it's probably a claim, however I thought I'd see if anyone knew what was wrong with it or if someone had the same problem and what they were doing.
    If anyone has any useful info on this it would be very welcome.

    Richard

    Hello

    Looks like a malfunction of the accumulator :(

    Discovered some days ago, I read on the Exchange battery Toshiba voluntary programs.
    Likely to be affected battery Pack may not properly load or unload.
    I checked this site and found the Equium M50 on the list.
    HTTP://EU.COMPUTERS.TOSHIBA-EUROPE.COM/CGI-BIN/TOSHIBACSG/GENERIC_CONTENT.JSP?SERVICE=EU&ID=0610_BATTERY_EXC HANGE_LANDING_PAGE

    The affected batteries were sold in some laptops manufactured between March and May 2006
    I think you should contact Toshiba service partner for the verification of the laptop and the battery and I think that you get a spare part.

    Good luck

  • Equium M50 - 192 battery is not completely charged

    Hello

    I bought a M50-192 yesterday, took home and tried out worked well. After awhile, I turned it off and let it charge up. My roommate looked at the laptop and decided to remove the battery (the laptop is not was plugged at the time) when he handed over the battery and turned on the laptop we learned the drums as in charge of 100% but it is false because the charging light did not have on the battery has been removed.

    Today, I decided to completely discharge the battery and load properly, but after 2 hours, it says its fully charged. In the book it says it should take 4 hours or more.

    Is there something wrong with the battery? If so, is there a way I can fix it?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello, Robert

    In my opinion, you are the same user as 98% others. Please read s manuals. It is detailed describes how to charge the battery for the first time.

  • Is it possible to upgrade the processor on Equium A60 - 155

    Hello

    Is it possible to upgrade the processor on my Equium A60 - 155. There is currently a Celeron D 2.6 Ghz and its so slow! I can put a P4 chip in or is the motherboard a Celeron only (plug 7 a bell rings)?

    Thank you

    As far as I know spend CPU is not possible and thereby you can upgrade RAM to the maximum level. You should also configure and optimize the pre-installed OS and I sure that you will be satisfied with your laptop of my.

    In my opinion, the processor is powerful enough, but there are also other factors that may be responsible for slow operating system.

  • T61 - unsuccessful attempt to upgrade the HDD using "Acronis True Image - disk clone".

    T61, Win XP Pro,

    Problems with the free space on HDD - disk(160GB) factory original is more than 90% full.

    There are a lot of existing user settings and the user information on the HARD drive - of the specific settings for different network environments (home network, company network, VPN, etc.), specific applications, a lot of drivers for specific devices, many documents and photos and other information.

    So, we need to upgrade the disk, but we do not want to go back to factory state - we want to keep all existing user settings and user information.

    The existing drive was dismantled and connected to a standard desktop PC.

    And using "Acronis True Image Home" the existing drive has been cloned again drive WD Scorpio Black 320 GB.

    There is not any errors during the cloning process.

    But when we set up the new drive of the laptop, the OS has not started - black screen with blinking cursor only flashing white dash (top left). So, we put back the old disk, in order to work.

    After cloning, we see the new disk is similar, as it is on the old drive. There are two partition - hidden, system partition partition with Windows XP and all user folders and documents. Thus, we believe that the problem is only in part "start".

    Everyone can us advice what is the problem.

    Or we let another solution how to change the drive, but without going to the factory condition.

    Thank you

    Hi MitkoS and welcome to the Lenovo user community!
