Hot palm rest on Satellite L850-166

Hi
I have a L850 - 166 and on the palm rest it is getting red hot infact my hand is feeling sore from it.
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks

As i said i have the L855-188 , but do like it, apart from the speaker sound quality is poor, My nephew brought round his new sony vaio s , and the speaker on that are even worse.
I do like the keyboard, it`s very firm no springiness, the display is nice also, I would have liked an hdd indicator though, the build quality is very good, the software update util is rubbish it tells you to update your bios even though you have the latest version, and other updates not even for your notebook.
My notebook came with an 750gb toshiba hdd, which i removed and cloned before even turning the notebook on and installed an crucial m4 128gb sdd.
The fan is quiet and even turn off when the notebook is idle.
My biggest gripe is i cannot use the latest AMD video driver, if i install one i loose the brightness control, It looks like Toshiba has done something the the video driver, so only their version works :( not happy.
John.

  • 13" rMBP Late 2013 Warm Palm Rest

    Hi,
    This is my second 13" rMBP Late 2013 (i5 2.4GHz, 8GB DDR3, 256GB SSD, Retina 13"). I exchanged the first one only to get a US keyboard instead of French Canadian. On the first one, I never noticed the warm palm rest... on my new one, it feels quite warm, especially on the left side. iStat says the palm rest is at 32C when idle, and during a stress test (100% CPU), it got to 35C. Reviews talk about 28C idle and 32C at full load.
    Is it often like this or I should exchange it? Am I the only one with this issue?

    that is normal when playing games or doing other intensive things on a mac.  It wont damage it, the mac would shut off before it started to get so hot it might cause damage.

  • Cooling fan is not working - How to disasemble Satellite L850

    How do you strip a Satellite L850 so as to get to the cooling fan and replace it. The cooling fan became noisy then stopped working and now the laptop is shutting down as it gets too hot.
    It is out of Warranty now as well.

    Hi
    Cooling fan replacement is pretty complicated procedure. Whole notebook must be disassembled and, as you probably know, it should be done by authorized personal only.
    Fact is that notebook disassembling procedure must be done by specific order to avoid some damage. Many plastic parts have small plastic holders and if you dont know how to remove certain part can be broken. The whole disassembling procedure is described in maintenance manuals but this document is not a public document and cannot be downloaded.
    What to say at this point? You can try to disassemble your machine but you will do this on your own risk. If you dont have experience with this I think it is not so good idea.
    Do you know someone who can help you with this?

  • Macbook Air 2010 trackpad stop working when touching case (palm rest)

    My MBA 2010 A1369 had demaged keyboard and trackpad by liquid. I got used whoel top case and replace. (not myself)
    Seller claimed it is ok but we face one problem. when I touch case (palm rest) trackpad stops responding. When on one side partly when with both hands then completely. Even when touching case from side. Even when case is comered by paper. So it strange behavior.
    Both cases were from A1369 model but on mine was black plastic foil over part of keyboard while on other not. So I am not sure there could be some other differences that could cause this.
    Would anybody has any suggestion where could be problem? Wrong contact bad insulation somewhere or faulty trackpad.
    Thanks a lot.
    Frantisek

    I reply by myself. Problem was in trackpad. I tried another one and it is ok now. Previous one probably suffer some liquid demage on sides.

  • Satellite L850-1?? - WiFi mouse doesn't work

    hi..
    first of all its my first time that i am asking a questions about my pc and i dont know very good english so i may have mistakes... moreover i am not a pc expert so if you try to help me be as simple as you can please... and i will begin the story
    i got a Satellite L850-1?? and i got one wireless mouse to the laptop... i got the laptop 1,5 year with the same mouse and i got no problems...
    yesterday the mouse stop working... i thought maybe its run out of batteries but thats not the problem i check on the internet and saw that maybe its a problem of the mouse itself or my usb ports have the problem... so i try to find the problem..
    i take another one wireless mouse and try it to my laptop.. no response with this mouse either... so i am positive that my ports have the problem.. i go to the device manager and check there and it say that my usb ports are working fine...
    so i try one wired logitech mouse that i got.. it was the same no response... but the device manager said that the ports were ok so i thought lets try those mouses to my father's laptop... i tried and no problem..
    so i am positive thats its someong wrong with my usb ports.. but i try a usb flash and the fun part was that the usb worked fine...
    so one the one hand decvice manager says thats usb ports work fine and my usb flash proves that but on the other hand 2 wireless and one wired mouse that working in other pc cant work in my usb ports
    do you have any leads to my problem?

    > is there a possibility to lock the ports only for the mouses?
    No, but if you attachdifferent USB device, the internal USB driver looks for the new attached USB device.
    It seems that somehow the USB driver cannot find the USB mouse.
    Would recommend you to check this MS knowledge base article how troubleshoots failure to find new mouse connected to your USB port:
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/223256
    In worst you could recover the unit but to be honest this would be drastic workaround

  • WiFi doesen't work on my new Satellite L850-13Q

    I just bought an Satellite L850-13Q and my WiFi doesen't work. Win 7 64bit and I installed the Atheros driver for this system but it tell There are no aviable connection, but my old computer find a lots of them.
    I turn it on with the FN+F12 keys, and the orange led is light. What can I do?

    Hi
    Did you mean the right indicator?
    There are three LEDs in the front of the notebook.
    The last one (the first from right) is an WLan indicator.
    If this is ON, then the WLan should be enabled.
    The notebooks WLan supports the 802.11 b, g and n standard.
    Is your WLan router configured for b/g or n?
    I think you should additionally try to configure the WLan again.
    Go to control panel -> Network & Sharing center
    On the left choose Manager wireless networks
    Now press Add and configure the new WLan.
    Ensure that you typed right SSID (wlan name), encryption and encryption password

  • Satellite L850 hard disk failure - warranty claim in Sri Lanka

    My brother bought me a Satellite L850 from UAE a month ago.
    But i am in sri lanka.
    The problem now is the hard disk is failed to boot and it says to replace the hard disk.
    I have the warrenty card with me.
    My question is can i claim the warrenty in Sri Lanka?
    Please help me soon ASAP.
    Thank you.

    Hi
    If you did not purchase additional international warranty, the notebooks hardware problems can be fixed only in the country where the notebook has been purchased.
    But as far as I know the parts like HDD or memory are user upgradable.
    Maybe you dont need to send the notebook to UAE for a fix but maybe the guys would be able to send you an HDD under warranty conditions.
    Here you can get all details about the ASPs available world wide.

  • Satellite L850 - after 1 year of usage battery runs out quickly

    Hi, through programs such as care or BatteryBar battery battery I see a Toshiba Satellite L850 *battery wear from 48%* currently. I notice that playing a game the battery runs out quickly, as the warm up by a lot, and often descalibra and behaves erratically.
    The laptop is a year old. Is it normal for the battery to wear so much in so little time?
    Would you accept a guarantee or battery replacement can claim wear caused by misuse?
    http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/6976/4f7k.jpg

    First of all you have to know that battery working time depends on the notebook usage.
    Running heavy performance applications like a game would discharge the battery much quickly. Why? Because parts like GPU and CPU and cooling modules run at highest performance and this needs power.
    Also using the notebook with highest display brightness would discharge the battery faster.
    You should also know that every battery would start to loose own performance after about 500 charging cycles. This is nothing unusual and will happen to all batteries.
    To avoid or to slow down this process, its recommended to calibrate the battery from time to time.
    Calibrating means charging and discharging the battery fully.
    Charge the battery until it would be fully charged, then disconnect the AC adaptor and keep the battery discharging until its fully empty. Repeat this procedure 2-3 times in the row.

  • Satellite L850-1RZ constantly erasing my data

    Hello!
    I hope you guys could help me! I have a toshiba notebook model satellite L850 - 1RZ with windows 8 that I bought a year ago, after two months since I bought it, it started to do strange things like when I turn it on it lasted a eternity to show the start screen and the colours and distributions was completely different and it erased all my folders and data but if I restarted it again then everything goes normal.
    This happened lots of times 'till some day it didn't go back to normal, so I called the technical service and they told me that it seems to be a virus so i should reboot my pc with my security copy and so I did. That seemed to be the end of the problem with the format of my pc. But 2 months later it started to happened again, and this time i didn't know what to do because i didn't thought it would be a virus since I haven't use my pc to surf the web, but still I thought that maybe it was any of the programs that I have installed so I reboot my pc again formating everything. And so a month later it begun again and now I'm really lost, because this time I didn't surf the web at all and I only install 2 programs and they are installated in other pcs of mine so I know they're not the problem and I'm seriously thinking that it may be a pc problem but I don't know what to do...
    I really would appreciate some help!!!
    Thank you guys!!

    Described issue is really interesting and sounds somehow mystic. You know very well that notebook, usually, cannot do something n its own. Everything can be controlled by different software and standard settings.
    Unfortunately on this virtual way it is not easy to offer some diagnostic and explanation why all this happen. I really don't know what kind of advice I can give you.
    Best thing to do is complete OS reinstallation and usage of factory settings but you have already done this.
    Maybe stupid question now but do you use your notebook alone or someone else has access to it?

  • Satellite L850: usage of AC adptor and battery at the same time?

    Hi,
    I have Satellite L850 and I need to know the good practice in charging the battery.
    I mean by the good practice, the way by which I get the longest possible life for my laptop's battery.
    Currently, I always keep my laptop connected to the charger power cord regardless its battery being completely charged or not. Does this behavior reduces the life time of the battery?
    Also some of my friends advised me with strange advice, that I can to remove the battery even the computer is on when it is connected to the charger power cord! Does this safe and possible?
    Please I'm waiting your help. If there is a documented answer it will be nice.
    Best Regards
    Said Bakr

    > Currently, I always keep my laptop connected to the charger power cord regardless its battery being completely charged or not. Does this behaviour reduce the life time of the battery?
    I do the same all the tie and now after almost two years battery on my Satellite P500 is still in good condition so I think batteries are not so sensitive.
    As Akuma wrote from time to time use notebook on battery power supply only and do a complete discharge and recharge.
    > Also some of my friends advised me with strange advice, that I can to remove the battery even the computer is on when it is connected to the charger power cord! Does this safe and possible?
    You can do this and use notebook without battery but I think it is not necessary.

  • Can I use a 60Y5419 palm rest on an X201 (not X201s) rather than a 60Y5415

    I need to replace the palm rest on my X201.
    I believe that the proper part for the X201 is the 60Y5415 and the part for the X201s is the 60Y5419.
    Are these parts different to the degree that I can not use a 60Y5419? I can get one for half the price, so I would much rather use a 60Y5419.
    Thanks!

    It's good to read Antoniad's post.  It reassures me that I can use my new iPad as an international communication device which is the reason I purchased the thing.  However, I called Verizon today (my provider of cellular data) who told me that I can't just pop in a SIM card as you suggested.  He also said that he was from the "Pre-Pay" division of Verizon and he was certain that I couldn't do what I planned to do.  I was extremely disappointed as I had called Apple prior to buying the iPad and I read the algorhythm on the website for choosing an iPad before purchasing.  Those sources were quite specific and the information seemed clear.  I would be able to use my iPad to communicate through cellular connections while traveling on the road, literally, abroad.  I was told that I could pop in a data card wherever I was, just as you indicated in your message above, and voila I was good to go.  The Verizon rep definitively rained on that parade, but said that I might be able to do this if I have a "Post-Pay" account, a different area of Verizon.  I haven't had the chance to talk to this division yet, so I looked to Apple's Support for answers.  Maybe I will find out that I can use my iPad as an international communication device while traveling on the road afterall, however, it appears I may need a different type of account (Post-Pay), something I was never warned about. Can I switch to this kind of account?  I don't know.  I have to find out.  If you have any information about this issue, it would be good to share since I strongly suspect there are others who bought the iPad for the same purpose that I have.

  • Satellite L850-17K: Flashcards working but not all FN keys are available

    Hi everone,
    2 days ago I reinstalled Windows 7 (64-bit) on my Satellite L850-17K.
    I succeeded in reinstalling all drivers, however I have had some problems with my function keys.
    After a long search on the internet I found the flashcards utility, but now I only have like 4 flashcards showing up (brightness, touchpad, mute, wireless) But only the touchpad and mute function are responding. Before reinstalling Windows I also had a function for screen output which is also not shown/responding.
    The flashcards I do have also don't look the same as before.
    Anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this problem?
    Many thanks!

    Hello
    According notebook specification your Satellite was delivered with WIN7 64BIT Home Premium so I don't understand why you don't use this recovery image that includes all necessary drivers, tools and utilities.
    Anyway, if you want to have own OS version all stuff can be downloaded from Toshiba download page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    What you need to install is Toshiba Value added package and all other Toshiba specific tools and utilities.
    > The flashcards I do have also don't look the same as before
    How to understand this?

  • Truly doesn't fit anywhere: Palm rest area question.

    The palm rest area, toward the bottom of the computer, has started to peel/chip away.
    Literally. If I got a flashlight, I could see into my laptop.
    I was just wondering if this piece of plastic (that also surrounds all of the keys and touch pad) could be replaced?
    It isn't a cleanliness issue. It is an overuse issue. I love my MacBook. It would be awesome to replace it and have it appear like new even though it is two years old.

    You can get it replaced but I don't know how much it would be.
