Equium M50-216 - Question regarding new installation

Hi there,
Recently rescued an Equium M50 laptop from my flat mate. Was in a bit of disrepair. she said i could have it as couldn't get onto the internet and it appears to be missing some vital files.
Managed to get the wireless working again and removed some of the rubbish that was on it, but there are some bigger issues for instance. Anything USB I plug into it will not install as there are no drivers on the HDD.
I think it probably needs to be formatted and have Windows XP Home Edition reinstalled but I don't have any disks for it and don't want to spend hundreds buying new software for it. Please let me know what my best options are.
best regards
Ed

Hi there,
I have updated windows fully, although there are 7 updates that fail to install. all of them related to Windows Net Framework. Have removed previous installations and tried again to no avail.
Plug and play devices that should install automatically do not install. I have two USB sticks that install automatically (plug and play) on several computers and laptops but both fail to install on this laptop.
When asked to install i have a choice of automatic or choosing a destination myself, i choose Auto.
When that fails i choose 'from a specific location' which also fails, and then i choose the option 'Don't search. I will choose the driver to install'.... in this part there are no drivers to choose from. its like the driver folder has been wiped.
Anyone ever had this problem?
Cheers

    Hi
    I've done a complete new install of windows xp profes over the top of windows xp home and now im missing a few drivers which im finding hard to get the drivers i need are for the Toshiba Equium M50-216
    mass storage controller
    network controller
    ethernet controller
    video controller
    video controller ( vga compatible )
    i would be really great guys if you could tell me exactly what drivers im needing to choose : ))

    WXP drivers you can find on http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    On this page under Product Type choose option ARCHIVE and then your notebook model.
    I have checked it and WXP drivers are there. Please download Installation instruction document too and install all stuff following this install order. It is very important to install drivers, tools and utilities in right install order.

  • Question regarding the installation of a J2EE 6.40 Add-in

    Hi all,
    I would like to install a J2EE engine on a test instance of ECC 5.0 and have a few questions regarding the installation...
    Do I have to use the MASTER CD to first install the J2EE engine (Support Package 0) and then apply the latest support packages found on the SAP Marketplace?
    Or should be able to directly install the J2EE Add-In by using the latest support packages found on the SAP Marketplace?
    Best regards,
    Xavier Vermaut

    Thanks Bhavik for your reply,
    That's what I actually thought but I get the following problem... Here's what I wrote into my customer message... I am still waiting for an answer and would like to get this solved ASAP
    Dear SAP,
    We would like to install the J2EE 6.40 Add-In on our ECC 5.0 instance
    (TST) but get the following error message at the very beginning of the
    installation
    > Cannot find an installed ABAP system, which is a prerequisite for a
    > J2EE Add-In installation. The installation cannot continue.
    We checked the installation logs (sapinst_dev.log) and found the
    following :
    > Found these instances:
    > sid: MGR, number: 00, name: DVEBMGS00, host: erpqs1a
    > sid: TST, number: 10, name: DVEBMGS10, host: erpqs1a
    Why does the installation say that it can not find any ABAP systems when
    having previously found the 2 different instances running on this
    server?
    Would this problem be related to the fact that we have two instances on
    this server?
    Please find hereunder the way we performed this installation :
    01) Download of the 4 different parts of SAP J2EE Engine 6.40 SP 10
         (Solaris 10 - Oracle)
         Part I   : SAPINST10_0-20000121.SAR         (Solaris 64)
         Part II  : CTRLORA10_0-20000121.SAR         (Solaris 64)
         Part III : J2EERTOS10_0-20000121.SAR        (Solaris 64)
         Part IV  : J2EERT10_0-10001982.SAR          (OS Independant)
    02) Extract these 4 archives into /install/J2EE_640
    03) Check Java Version and Environment Variables
    04) Check Solaris Pre-Requisites
    05) Adapt "product.xml" as specified in OSS Note 697535 (IGS)
    06) Log in as 'root'
    07) Set DISPLAY environment Variable
    08) Move to the Installation directory
          ( /install/J2EE_640/SAPINST-CD/SAPINST/UNIX/SUNOS_64 )
    09) ./sapinst
    10) In the 'Welcome to Netweaver Installation' screen, select
          => Dialog Instance Finalization
    Any idea how to get this solved?

  • Questions regarding new functionalities in EhP 4 - Reporting Financials 2

    Dear Forum,
    in a project we would like to use some new functionalities from Reporting Financials 2 - ie. Datasource 0FI_AA_20 for Depreciation and Amortization loading to BI for following years as this can not be done by old extractor.
    We are know looking for reliable information about impact and changes that are made in ERP if we switch on the functionality Reporting Financials 2 via SFW5? Will old extracors work nevertheless? Will all reports in ERP work without problems? Is there any impact on business processes? Or is this just additional functionality which will not affect current implementation?
    Can anybody give information about this?
    Thanks, regards

    Marc,
    Some additional questions regarding locking.
    I encounter that the dataset that is locked depends on the restrictions made in the 'Characteristic Restrictions'-part of the query.
    Restrictions in the 'Default Values'-part are not taken into account. In that case all data records of the characteristic are locked.
    Q1: Is that correct?
    To give an example: Assume you restrict customer on hierarchy node in Default Values. If you want people to plan concurrently this is not possible since all customers are locked then. When customer restriction is moved to Char Restr the system only locks the specific cutomer hier node and people can plan concurrently.
    Q2: What about variables use in restricted keyfigures like variable for fy/period? Is only this fy/period locked then?
    Q3: We'd like to lock on a navigational attribute. The nav attr is put as a variable in the filter of the Characteristic Restrictions. Does the system then only lock this selection for the nav.attr? Or do I have to change my locking settings in RSPLSE?
    Then question regarding locking of data for functions:
    Assume you use the BEx Analyzer and use the query as data_provider_filter for your planning function. You use restricted keyfigures with char Version. First column contains amount for version 1 and second column contains amount for version 2.
    In the Char Restrictions you've restricted version to values '1' and '2'.
    When executing the inputready query version 1 and 2 are locked. (due to the selection in Char Restr)
    But when executing the planning function all versions are locked (*)
    Q4: True?
    Kind regards, Harjan

  • Equium M50-164: Question about Fan usage & battery timer

    Hi !!
    Just got hold of my equium m50-164 laptop today and I wanted to clarify a few issues
    firstly,
    I flashed my bios with the latest version and upon the reboot the fan kicked in at full power and didn't turn off until i put the laptop into standby mode, this seemed to of rectified the problem but the fan seems to be kicking in a lot more than compared to before, luckily the fan isn't kicking into 100% speed but more like 15% - 20% every 30 secs or a minute then goes into silent mode, the fan hasn't hit 100% unless i do a reboot :),
    I know the fan will speed faster based on the cpu usage etc (thermal) but is this normal? I spoke to support and they wanted me to have an instant replacement but I said I would wait a few days to see if it would calm down :)
    and finally looking at the power meter and other software tools there seems to be no battery calibration, with previous laptops i noticed that numerical calculations are made based on battery usage and time left [i.e a timer] but with this laptop i kind find a timer - i would of thought tha every laptop has this facility nowadays !
    any advice would be helpful
    cheers

    Hi
    Please dont be mad on me but I really dont understood why your first step is BIOS update. The unit is delivered with actual BIOS and it is really not necessary to make it before you notice some problems. I just hope that you have enough experience with it because I have read a few postings on this forum about BIOS damage while BIOS update and to make it good again costs a lot of money.
    Your BIOS is updated and there are new values that should be used by Power saver utility (responsible for cooling fan monitoring). I recommend you to remove preinstalled power saver, restart the unit and install it again. I hope that the result will be better.
    Battery calibration I dont know what you want exactly but the battery usage can be control by power saver tool. On the task bar there is symbol for power saver and if you move the mouse pointer on it the battery capacity and left time will be shown.

  • Equium M50-216 - New HDD isn't recongized

    After finding out that my [laptop|http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&DISC_MODEL=0 &ACTION=PRINT_WITH_BACK&com.broadvision.session.ne w=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=113323] has a dying hard drive, I went and bought a replacement for it. The laptop originally had a 40GB IDE drive, and I thought that if I had to replace the drive, then I might as well get a higher capacity drive. So I bought a [160GB Samsung IDE drive|http://www.samsung.com/global/business/hdd/productmodel.do?type=62&subtype=67&model_cd=294#] from eBay.
    Upon recieving and installing the drive into the unit, I found that when I tried opening the BIOS, it would take a while to open (as does the boot device selection menu), and once it does, under Hard Disk Drive it said 'none'. I've tried removing and reinstalling the drive, I've ensured that there are no jumpers on the drive and I've also tried installing Ubuntu onto it anyway, but the partitioner shows nothing. If I insert the old drive, everything works fine
    As far as I know, the problem could arise because of two reasons; because I got swizzed on eBay, or because the laptop BIOS or mainboard will only support drives up to a certain capacity. I hope it's neither of those, as I bought that drive and waited quite a while for it because of the slow post and the snow.
    Also I have no idea how to test a drive without buying some sort of IDE adaptor for my main PC. Is there any way this can be sorted?
    Edit: Considering a BIOS update, but having trouble finding out how to do so without having to have a version of Windows on there.

    Ahh I see. So if I was to go and buy a smaller drive it should work? How were you able to determine what the maximum capacity for the notebook was? I wasn't able to find that information anywhere. Thank you for your reply by the way.
    What I'll do is wait for the adaptor I've just bought to make sure that the drive is actually functional, then if it is I'll sell it and buy another one.

  • Solman 7.0 - Question regarding "New Maintenance Optimizer Transaction"

    Hi All,
    Since I'm quite new on Solman transactions, while monitoring my queue, I found 4 tickets that says "New Maintenance Optimizer Transaction".
    This is what's inside:
    "Internal Note             SOLMAN_ADMIN 08.04.2014 08:41:25
    The status was set to the value 'Selection'"
    Can someone help me on where to find information regarding this, or if this is something I should take a look at?
    Thanks!

    Hi Bua,
    Somebody has created an new maintenance transaction from MOPZ of solman, which is used for generated XML for applying support packs and EHPs.
    Selection mean, that the user was selecting the components but has now done anything or updated the status

  • Questions regarding Portal Installation

    Hi Experts,
    I want to install portal and I have following questions;
    1- We are on ECC 6.0 & I want to install portal. Can I install it on separate machine? What are the recommendations, how it should be installed. I mean on ECC app server or on different machine?
    2- I want to install the original corporate version not sneak preview which expires after 90 days. Having said that, Do we need to purchase separate portal installation CD's or it comes with standard ECC 6.0.
    3- Having ECC 6.0, what else we need to install for getting the portal in running shape like java stack etc..?
    Your help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,

    >
    It depends upon how much resources machine have. If you have sufficient resources then you can install on same machine. But I would prefer to install Portal on separate machine as Java is resource intensive.
    > 2- I want to install the original corporate version not sneak preview which expires after 90 days. Having said that, Do we >need to purchase separate portal installation CD's or it comes with standard ECC 6.0.
    >
    For Portal you need to have separate license with SAP unless and until you are not installing ECC 6.0 dual stack system. Also, from Business Suite 7, you cannot install dual stack system.
    > 3- Having ECC 6.0, what else we need to install for getting the portal in running shape like java stack etc..?
    >
    If you are installing portal then Java stack will come in it. I would suggest you to read installation guide.

  • Equium M50-216 - need info about display connection

    I've had no problems with the system before, but about a week ago I started experiencing display problems.
    Basically, the display occasionally freezes or behaves strangely - blanking, interference etc. This is related to moving the screen - fiddling with it puts things right.
    My guess is that this is nothing more serious than a loose cable connection somewhere - because the problem doesn't occur spontaneously, but can be triggered if I move the screen, opening or closing it slightly.
    Is there a straightforward way to get access to the cable (?) connecting the display panel to the graphics card?
    Many thanks

    >My guess is that this is nothing more serious than a loose cable connection somewhere - because the problem doesn't occur spontaneously, but can be triggered if I move the screen, opening or closing it slightly. Is there a straightforward way to get access to the cable (?) connecting the display panel to the graphics card?
    Do you have M50 notebook experience?
    I assume you dont have it because you ask it here in the forum. In such case you dont know exactly how to disassemble the notebook and this is not very easy and very tricky!
    Using a wrong order can damage some parts in worst case the display will not function.
    Is the warranty valid? If yes then you shouldnt try to disassemble the notebook by yourself because this would cancel the warranty.
    Furthermore you are not 100% sure that the loose cable connection causes this issue. You guess only and in my opinion its not enough to perform the notebook disassembling!
    I will provide you a good advice; Contact a notebook specialist!
    In such case you are on the safe side

  • A mac question regarding the installation of the JLex scanner

    Hi
    I'm trying to run JLex on my Mac running Tiger and Java 5. I am trying to run JLex but when I try and run the program I keep getting exceptions.
    I think the problem here is with the classpath. I've been looking around online and can't seem to find directions for altering the classpath on a mac.
    The instructions for installing and running JLex aren't proving enough for me to get it to work. These instructions are:
    Written by Elliot Berk  [edited by A. Appel] [revised by C. Scott Ananian].
    Contact [email protected] with any problems relating to JLex.
    The following steps describe the compilation and usage
    of JLex.
    (1) Choose some directory that is on your CLASSPATH, where
        you install Java utilities such as JLex.  I will refer
        to this directory as "J", for example.
    (2) Make a directory "J/JLex" and put the sourcefile Main.java
        in J/JLex.
    (3) Compile Main.java as you would any Java source file:
    javac Main.java
    This should produce a number of Java class files, including Main.class,
    in the "J/JLex" directory, where "J" is in your CLASSPATH.
    (4) To run JLex with a JLex specification file,
    the usage is:
    java JLex.Main <filename>
    where <filename> is the name of the JLex
    specification file.  If java complains that
    it can't find JLex.Main, then the directory
    "J" (which contains the subdirectory "JLex"
    which contains the class files) isn't in your
    CLASSPATH; go back and read steps 1-3 more
    carefully, please.I am guessing the problem I am having here is with setting the class path on a mac. If anyone can give me some help with this I would be really grateful.

    Creating this sort of trigger, though
    - would require that the user create triggers for every table they create
    - wouldn't prevent the user from deleting or disabling the trigger, deleting rows, and then re-enabling the trigger
    If I own a table, I will always be able to delete, insert, and update rows in that table. That's one of the privileges of ownership.
    I suppose that you could grant a user CREATE ANY TABLE privileges, let them create tables in another schema, and then have DDL triggers that only grant them appropriate privileges on those new objects. The CREATE ANY TABLE privilege, though, would be a huge security hole...

  • Equium M50-216 Wireless issues

    Reformatted hard disc a new weeks back.
    When laptop was rebooted, no wireless networks could be found.
    The problem appears to be within the laptop as other wireless laptops in the household connect OK
    The wireless switch is in the "on" position, however the orange light does not "light up"
    Is this a problem with the wireless driver?
    Anyone help?
    thanks

    Hi
    Is the WLan card recognized properly in device manager?
    If not, then the WLan driver needs to be installed!
    Furthermore please check if the WLan was configured properly.
    Means you have to check the kind of encryption, encryption password and the firewall settings.
    Good luck

  • I need drivers for Equium M50-216

    Please assist me.
    I am having problem getting my model drivers on your site. I upgraded my o/s to windows vista and the sound just stops working.
    Please, what should I do?

    You can find drivers in ARCHIVE. So open Toshiba download page and under Product type choose ARCHIVE. Problem is that your notebook is not supported for Vista and you will not find sound driver there.
    I found info your notebook has Realtek ALC 250 AC97 sound card.
    Try to find Vista driver on Realtek support page. Please let me know if you found it.

    Hi,

    Thanks in advance
    Ben

    > have downloaded all drivers off the Toshiba website for said laptop, and still i have the 4 drivers not installed.
    You dont say what drivers you need so I can only say that the Toshiba European driver page provides a Installation Instructions txt file.
    There you can find all drivers which must be installed.
    Check the whole list and you will find out what drivers are missing or haven't been installed

  • My Equium M50 has no sound anymore

    Hi there
    I got a Equium M50-216. About four months ago I have been using it to watch a lot of DVDs recently without any problem until last night.
    When I put a DVD on to watch there was no sound. This has happened with other DVDs and cannot understand what the problem can be. I have checked the volume control and made sure the Toshiba virtual sound is ON.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Cheers

    hi there
    thought i might add that i just checked to see if i could get any sound with external speakers as i have been using the internal speakers up until now and i also cannot get any sound.
    cheers again.

  • I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought.

    I have a question regarding my txt/alert tones. I recently updated my iPhone 5's software without first backing it up on iCloud or my computer (oops). After my phone finished updating, i lost the new ringtones and txt/alert tones i had bought. I connected my iPhone to my computer and sync'd it hoping that it could download my purchases from the itunes store and then put them back on to my phone but no such luck. When i look at my iphone on my computer and look at tones, they do not show up at all. However, if i click on the "On This iPhone" tab and click on "Tones" the deleted ringtones and altert tones show up...they are just grey'd out and have a dotted circle to the left of them. I also tried to go to the iTunes store on my phone and redownload them and it tells me that i have already purchased this ringtone and asks me if i want to buy it again. I press Cancel. I know when i do that with music it would usually let me redownload the song without buying it again but it wont let me with the ringtones...so how do i get them back? any help would be greatly appreicated

    Greetings,
    I've never seen this issue, and I handle many iPads, of all versions. WiFi issues are generally local to the WiFi router - they are not all of the same quality, range, immunity to interference, etc. You have distance, building construction, and the biggie - interference.
    At home, I use Apple routers, and have no issues with any of my WiFi enabled devices, computers, mobile devices, etc - even the lowly PeeCees. I have locations where I have Juniper Networks, as well as Aruba, and a few Netgears - all of them work as they should.
    The cheaper routers, Linksys, D-Link, Seimens home units, and many other no name devices have caused issues of various kinds, and even connectivity.
    I have no idea what Starbucks uses, but I always have a good connection, and I go there nearly every morning and get some work done, as well as play.
    You could try changing channels, 2.4 to 5 Gigs, changing locations of the router. I have had to do all of these at one time or another over the many years that I have been a Network Engineer.
    Good Luck - Cheers,
    M.
