My Satellite C50-A-1DV won't work without mains

Hello
I have a new Satellite C50 A 1 DV.
It does not operate unless plugged into the mains.
Does anyone know if that is correct?
It seems odd.
Also the far left light at the front (AC IN) never lights up.
Is that OK?
I'd be grateful if anyone could put my mind at rest!
Thanks
Jo

No, this isnt correct. If the main battery is fully charged, the notebook should run also without the connected AC adaptor.
In case the battery would not charge properly, get in contact with Toshiba authorized service provider in order to check the battery and if necessary to replace it with another, new one.
Greetings

  • Cannot find Win 8.1 drivers for Satellite C50-A-1DV

    Hi.
    I re-installed windows 8.1 from a disk I have, but I'm having driver problems, namely finding certain driver support on the Toshiba website.
    It seem that my laptop isn't listed, or I can't find it in the support section for drivers.
    The drivers I'm looking for namely are the motherboard drivers.
    I already tried a driver site but my laptop was taking a good few minutes to power off after shutdown so I doubt those were correct. I'll try intel chipset device software and see if that gives me the correct ones.
    Rest of drivers I can get simple enough through device manager, but not the chipset drivers, and probably usb 3.0 too.
    On a side note, I noticed I don't need to type in the key, which I wrote down using belarc, I assume it's saved to the BIOS and windows auto detects it correct?

    Hello
    According notebook specification your notebook was delivered with preinstalled Windows 8.1 64bit so what you should do is to reinstall original recovery image that contains all necessary drivers.
    When you say you have installed Win 8.1 from the disc, what does it mean exactly?
    Have you installed your own OS version or original Win8.1 version from created recovery disc?
    Anyway, al Win8.1 64bit drivers you can download from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
    There you can find all drivers for your Satellite C50-A-1DV with part number PSCG6E.

  • Satellite C50-A-1DV - Graphics card replacement

    Hypothetically, If I wanted to replace the graphics card in my Satellite C50-A-1DV, how would I go about it?
    And If i had to send my laptop in, how much would it cost?

    At first I must say that GPU replacement or upgrade is officially not supported and any action in this direction is on your own risk.
    Please note that notebook disassembling will cancel valid warranty.
    But we are discussing hypotheticallyabout all this.
    What you must do is to obtain new GPU, disassemble your notebook, exchange it and put your notebook together.
    On some notebook models GPU is fixed on the mainboard and cannot be exchanged. I dont know how it is on your machine.
    > And If i had to send my laptop in, how much would it cost?
    If GPU is defective and warranty still valid best option for you is o contact nearest Toshiba service provider and ask for help. In case that you want to do upgrade, Toshiba service will not help you with this.
    Can you please tell us what is the problem with your machine and original graphic card?

  • Satellite C50-A-1DV - Cannot boot from USB

    Satellite C50-A-1DV PSCG6E-08P01CEN
    I could previously boot from USB by selecting Secure boot to off and CSM boot in the system bios. Since I have upgraded my bios from 1.3 to 1.4 I can't seem to boot from a USB drive. I can boot from the CD but not USB.
    Any Ideas?
    Booji

    hello
    if you want install os in laptop then you should have to change the boot mode in BIOS menu.
    for win 7 select the CSM boot mode
    for win 8 select the UEFI boot mode
    then boot by the pen drive and also CD/DVD.
    Restart the system and hold the F2 key then you get your BIOS setup
    if not get the BIOS setup by the process then you should tried power drainage.
    Power Drainage process: just remove the battery and adapter of the laptop then hold the power key for 30 sec
    after that connect adapter of the laptop then turn on system.
    Try it...:)

  • After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

    Question
    After a few minutes, the page down won't work without clicking the mouse pointer on the page I am reading to activate page down again. Is there a way to go back to page down working every time without having to click the page first?

    Today, two other users reported issues with the back-forward history list dropping down if they hovered the mouse pointer over the back or forward button -- without clicking -- and then moved the pointer downwards. One user was on a touchpad, I don't know about the other user. Are you experiencing anything like that?

  • Macbook won't work without charger

    Hello, I have a late '08 macbook. Originally I had problems with the screen dimming and I took it to a licensed mac repair place and they fixed that. Then shortly afterward the mac wouldn't work unless it was plugged into the charger. At that point I bought a new battery, new charger and updated to 10.7.5. Now the laptop still won't work without the charger. I have tried the trick where you turn off the laptop unplug it and take out the battery hold down power for 5 seconds and then plug in the charger first then the battery. I realize there must be something wrong besides the charger or battery but I'm wondering if anyone has an idea and how much it might cost to fix.
    This happened a year or so ago but this is the first time I will need to use it in a situation were I cannot be guaranteed an outlet.

  • Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

    Candy crush won't work without the internet but it did before

    Make sure you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.6.6) installed - if this is missing or out of date there may be no audio output from iTunes (including, but not limited to, playback through Bluetooth devices) or playback may be of poor quality.
    Also check iTunes' Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Playback (you will have to restart iTunes for any changes to take effect).  In most cases selecting Direct Sound addresses playback issues when Windows Audio Session is active (though some users have reported the reverse),
    If neither of these solves your problem try installing this alternate version: iTunes 12.1.1 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards).  The "for older video cards" label is a little misleading, as this also fixes some playback issues, QuickTime and Outlook interoperability errors, and problems with other third-party applications.

  • My iPhone won't work without wifi and I can't receive or send iMessage unless I have wifi or 3G can't use Instagram, Twitter or anything to do with internet or messaging, how do i fix it?

  • IMessage won't work without wifi

    When I don't have wifi I can't use iMessage. Before I got the ios7 update I could no matter if I had wifi or not, now it won't work without it. Other people can't send me text message is they are still using iMessage. How do I fix it?

    Hi Jlm,
    Go to Settings>Messages and make sure that "Send as SMS" is turned on. Also, if you want to be able to send longer messages or photos when not on Wifi (i.e., not iMessaging), then also make sure that MMS Messaging is turned on.
    Cheers,

  • Need specs for Satellite C50-A-1DV

    Been all over, and have had nothing but frustration from trying to use the cumbersome and largely useless Toshiba 'help' services.
    If anyone can help, I need specs for the Satellite i3 C50-A-1DV.
    I have looked for an hour now and I can find nothing.
    In short, I want to buy new memory - upgrading it from 4 to 8gb - but I can find no info beyond
    that it is ddr3.
    _Adeybob_

    Hi
    Googling around I found follow information: Your notebook model can be upgraded up to 16GB.
    Compatible RAM modules that you can use are as follow:
    2GB DDR3-1600 - PA5037U-1M2G
    4GB DDR3-1600 - PA5037U-1M4G
    8GB DDR3-1600 - PA5037U-1M8G
    Using these part numbers you can find full specification but it must be DDR3 1600MHz.
    I recommend you to use compatible and high quality RAMs only.

  • 10.5 server features that won't work without xserve

    We are opening up a branch office and want to use 10.5 as the server OS. My budget can't afford me an xserve at the moment but will have a G5 Mac Pro from the main office to use. Are there any features that won't work unless I have an xserve? I though I remembered reading something about this awhile back? Thanks for the help.

    I can't think of anything else than Server Monitor doesn't work and there's no LOM.
    Might be something else too.
    LACP (aggregated interfaces) needs two or more ethernet interfaces.

  • Satellite A300D-15B - Webcam won't work after Windows 7 upgrade

    My webcam doesnt work after Windows 7 upgrade. I have installed the drivers but still having no luck

    Hi
    The webcam is listed in device manager under the Imaging devices
    There you should see USB Video Device.
    If its not listed there, then I think that the device malfunctions or its disconnected.
    The webcam is an usb device and its connected to USB controller.
    I read in different threads that in some cases the cable could be loose and therefore the webcam would not be listed in device manager.
    I such case the display lid needs to be disassembled and the cables should be checked.
    In my opinion its a job for an technician.

  • Satellite C50-A-1DV Keys sticking

    Completely new to this and not good with computers or the language associated with them so please bear that in mind! I have had this problem for a while now and it's driving me mad!
    When I type on my keyboard, there are so many typos as 1 in 3 letters I type don't seem to respond when I am 100% pressing the buttons. It results in lots of missing letters which makes assignment writing for me almost impossible!
    Does anyone else have this problem? Or better still, can they suggest a way of fixing it?
    TIA

    Check whether the usage of external keyboard would cause the same sticking key issue…
    In case the external USB keyboard would work properly, the internal keyboard fault causes the issue and therefore the internal keyboard should be replaced to fix the issue…
    If the unit is new, the standard warranty should be valid and I guess it should cover the repair costs.
