Satellite C50-A-1G6 doesn't start

My Satellite C50-A (6 months old) doesn't start up at all.
With the power adapter attached, a white light is on. When I push the powerbutton, it turns white for a second together with a second white light in front, next to the power light.
The computer tries to start and I can hear a click sound and immediately the light of the powerbutton and second light on the front turn off. After 6 seconds both lights turn on again for a second (a click sound is heared) and the lights turn off again, etc.
I tried to remove the battery and power adapter and waited for some time and tried it again, without battery and with battery.
This is my second Satellite C50-A-1G6....
The first died in a when it was a few days old, with a non functioning black display and I got a new one... this one that seems to be dead too.

On this virtual way it is not easy to say why this happen. I have similar problem on my older machine when I use standby or hibernation mode. Notebook tries to start but make click sound, goes off and try to restart. I can stop this just if notebook has no any power supply anymore.
After connecting Ac power supply machine starts properly and everything is OK again.
To be honest I don't know why this happen.
In your case best thing you can do is to contact your local dealer or Toshiba service directly and ask for help. The warranty is still valid so you must not pay for any kind of repair.
My machine is old and I don't want to spend any money for repair?

Cannot Access Satellite C50-A-1G6 Boot Menu

Hello,
I have a Satellite C50-A-1G6 that originally came with Windows 8.1. I had successfully disabled UEFI and Secure boot to install Windows 7 in legacy boot mode.
However, I now want to upgrade to Windows 8.1 again, but I cannot access the boot menu or BIOS anymore, I have tried all the F-keys, either with or without holding Fn, to no avail. The laptop shows a blinking cursor for one second before proceeding to boot from the hard drive. Trying to boot from USB or CD/DVD as-is does not work, either.
To summarize, the laptop is currently not in UEFI mode, it's booting Windows 7 in legacy mode, I intend to install Windows 8.1 in legacy boot mode, but cannot access the boot menu, or boot the laptop from USB or CD/DVD.
Any help on this issue is much appreciated.
Greetings,
Rick

Managed to find a solution to my own problem, I've outlined it below for anyone else that's running into the same situation.
The problem is that the laptop is set to "Fast Boot", in which it apparently disregards the boot order and will only accept the HDD as a valid boot device. You cannot enter the BIOS at this point, you will need a small tool called "Toshiba System Settings Utility", I got it from http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-...0127165632.zip.
Once you have installed the utility, open it, and go to Boot Options, set USB as the first boot option, then scroll down and set the Boot Speed to Normal. It should look like this:
After that, you'll be able to enter BIOS/Boot USB or DVD.
Best regards,
Rick

Satellite C55-A-1DC doesn't start anymore

My computer doesn't start anymore!
When I push the on button, everything is going like it supposed to go,until you see the screen with:
Toshiba
Leading Innovation >>>
And then it just stays stuck at that for a while, and then it just goes black!!
I don't know what to do anymore :(
Please help me!!
(sorry for my bad english:( )

Are you able to access the BIOS?
Check this by pressing the F2 button after powering on the unit.
If this isnt possible, there must be some kind of hardware problem (motherboard, RAM).
In case you could access the BIOS, check the first BIOS page. Usually the HDD should be listed there. HDD name, size information should be visible.
In case this HDD isnt listed, I assume your HDD is faulty and should be replaced.
Of course, you would need to reinstall the system once again.
In case the HDD is listed in BIOS, I would recommend you to boot using the Recovery disk (or another Windows installation disk) in order to reinstall the system.

Satellite E200-002 - Bluetooth doesn't start

Hello bluetooth community.
I just bought my Satellite PSE20C-002002 (I think that is the model number), and noticed that I do not have built in bluetooth hardware after buying a bluetooth mouse. I went and bought a bluetooth adapter (bluetooh usb 2.1 micro adapter from iogear,model #: GBU421) and after installation a new tray is supposed to open up in the bottom right corner to do the connecting process to bluetooth devices. Well as you might expect it is not there.
Could someone point me in the right direction? Thank you for time.
--Running Windows 7.

Yah I believe when I install the drivers and software it installs the bluetooth stack also. I cannot confirm this though. Also I do not see the icon when I push the little arrow(bottom right) and look around in there. I also went into the program folder and manual opened up the bttray.exe which should put the icon in the tray. I see that after I open it the exe is in my processs list, so it opens, just nothing happens. The retailer of the bluetooth device tells me that since the adapater works on thousands of computers running windows 7 it should work on mine. Thanks again.

Satellite C50-A-1JQ doesn't go to sleep normaly

Hello
My Satellite doesnt go to sleep normaly, it always wake up alone and try to access the hard drive, i have to let open de CD-rom drive so the computer doesnt make every 15mn a noise like it's trying to access the CD-rom, so the computer keeps on waking up all alone all this with the screen turn down (the screen doesnt wake up only the machinery inside)
Thank you for your help !
My OS is windows 7 ultimate

The Toshiba PC Health Monitor could be the reason for this strange clicking noise coming from CD/DVD drive.
You could access the Services
(control panel -> computer management -> services and applications -> services)
Here look for TPCH Service. This is Toshiba PC Health Monitor
Disable this service and reboot the notebook
Probably the Toshiba PC Health Monitor activity could be the reason why the notebook does access the sleep mode correctly.

Satellite Pro A110-178 doesn't start up

Hi all,
I really need some advise here...
My A110-178 does not start up at all! After pressing the power button, the power and battery light are lit (both blue, so my battery is fully charged). The HD-indicator gives a very short blink, and after that NOTHING happens... No fan, no HD, no screen, no sound, nothing!
My machine is four months old, and apart form the XP and Office 2003 only Adobe Photoshop and Symantec Client Security are active. Last logoff and power down was absolutely normal and by the book, so I'm really lost on what the right course of action might be (apart form calling Toshiba and be without pc for considerable time)...
Can someone help?
Thanks,
Erik

Hi Erik
Please remove the battery, connect your notebook to AC adapter and try to start notebook again.
If notebook starts wait a little bit and when operating system is properly started insert battery again. Please let me know what happen when you try to do this.

After BIOS update Satellite L350-172 doesn't start anymore

Satellite L350-172 Bios-Update from bios-20090203164614 to bios-201002250
I just updatet the BIOS of my notebook from 1.60 to 2,20. Now the Notebook doesn't start any longer.
"It was stopped for reason not to damage the Computer" - blue schreen.
How can I downgrade the bios again? Or - what have I to change in the bios-settings?

Hi schuwe,
Im a little bit confused about your posting. How do you tell your BIOS not to restart?
Anyway, after BIOS update you should load the default settings in BIOS.
Did you choose the right BIOS especially for your model?

Satellite M35X-S349 doesn't start up

My laptop satellite M35X doesn't start up. I press the power button. Then the hard disk green light binks once. The fan or hard disk makes a sound for a couple second. Nothing is displayed in the screen.
Nothing happens after that. I've tried to boot from a CD, but the hot keys doesn't work (press power button, then "C").

Hi Sergio,
From your description of the problem I would suggest that you have a hardware problem on your notebook. The initial POST is failing when it checks your peripheral devices and this is preventing the BIOS from loading correctly. I would suggest you try to remove/reinstall the RAM modules, the Hdd and The Optical Drive. If the fault still persists then you will need to refer to a Toshiba authorised Service Partner for further diagnostics.
regards,

Satellite L300D- Sometimes it takes ages to start up or doesn't start

Anyone able to help me?
Sometimes it takes me ages to start up my laptop and sometimes it doesn't start up at all and I get sent to the start up repair screen and that results in an unable to repair press ok to turn off computer message. When ever I do manage to start the laptop programs always stop responding with some responds lasting around an hour.
I have used the recovery discs I made when I was told to do so, the first time using the labtop about 5 times so far. Every time I restored the system it work fine for about 1 hour until I had to install the Windows updates.
Anyone able to help me on this problem of mine?

Hi
Well buddy, thats really strange and I think at the moment its not easy to say what the reason is for this.
Normally I would suggest you should reset the notebook back to factory settings using the Toshiba recovery disk but you have already tried. But the interesting thing is that you wrote that it works for one hour and you have to install Windows updates. Does the Windows updates causing this problem?
What happens if you dont make the Windows updates? Does it work?
Maybe the updates are causing an incompatibility issue if you have also installed 3rd party software.
In worst case its a hardware malfunction and your notebook should be checked from a notebook technician.
In my opinion it could be a problem of the HDD too. But HDD can be checked yourself with Drive Fitness Test for example.

Satellite A100 - Windows and BIOS doesn't start after BIOS update

Hello, I have updatet BIOS of my notebook sattelite A100.
After updating I cannot start my notebook and BIOS doesn't start.

Hey guys... I tried to update my girlfriend's BIOS on a A100 just now (the windows installer) and the procedure stoped in the middle because windows crashed while doing. Now the laptop won't start at all (obviously). I have a black screen when turning it on. No boot sounds or anything. I've already removed the AC power source and battery in case that works. I guess removing the BIOS battery won't help either since the flashing was wrong... In case that doesn't work, is there any chance i could find a BIOS from ebay or somewhere else?
Thx in advance, Jimmy..
PS. My gf is going to shoot my brains out :P

Cant get my Satellite C50-A-157 to start up

Hi folks I've got a Toshiba satellite C50-A-157, only three weeks old. It wouldn't connect to the internet last night, kept saying it couldn't display the page. Then the cursor froze and the touch pad wouldn't respond. I attached the mouse and eventually it responded to that. Still wouldn't let me online so decided I'd do a system restore. It went on for ages and nothing seemed to be going on, I had to go out so had to power it off. Tried to get back into it today but all the screen is doing is flickering between black and grey.
Toshiba offices are shut so was wondering if anyone can help me out? My knowledge is quite basic so all help would be appreciated!

It sounds pretty problematic now. I don't know if Ive understand you right but Im afraid you have interrupter recovery image installation and now you in the middle of nowhere.
To be honest I don't understand why your display is flickering now.
What to do now? I presume you didnt create recovery media but if you have it try to install recovery image again. If you don't have it either you must order one on https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx or contact nearest Toshiba service provider in your country and ask for help.

WI-FI is not working on Satellite C50-A-179

Hello everyone!
I own Toshiba Satellite C50-A-179 (PSCGAE) laptop with Windows 8 and recently I've tried installing Connectify on it.
However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop, and because of that Connectify couldn't work. I've tried to enable/install it somehow using tips found on the internet. One of the suggestion was to reinstall the Wireless Adapter driver.
I uninstalled the original driver, and reinstalled it again after downloading it from Toshiba website ( [here|http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_driver_details.jsp?service=EU&selCategory =2&selFamily=2&selSeries=312&selProduct=7934&selSh ortMod=3969&language=13&selOS=40&selType=97&yearup load=&monthupload=&dayupload=&useDate=null&mode=al lMachines&search=&action=search&macId=&country=all &selectedLanguage=13&type=97&page=1&ID=86778&OSID= 40&driverLanguage=42] )
I'm sure I downloaded and installed the right driver for the right adapter which is "Qualcomm Atheros AR956x Wireless Network Adapter". I made sure before the installation to check all the information about the adapter and the driver.
However, after the reinstallation wifi has stopped working completely:
-the wireless network connection icon/adapter from "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections" is there but it does not behave as it should, it just looks as a generic network connection icon and not a specific one-basically it doesn't represent the actual adapter and hasn't got the name of it in the note;
-wifi option in Windows 8 settings menu-Change PC settings-Network has disappeared altogether (bluetooth option is still there and so is airplane mode option);
-wifi can be turned on by pressing enable from the righ click menu of that generic network connection I've mentioned, but it won't pick up any signal and won't find any connections even though there definitely are some.
There are no yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager list and the wireless adapter is there as well, behaving and pretending as if everything was all right and working properly.
I've tried Troubleshooting, installing driver using Windows Update, installing and updating driver from its properties menu in Device Manager, and all kinds of things like that, but none of it has helped and wifi still does not work.
Basically, the laptop seems to be thinking that the adapter is working properly and everything is fine HW and SW wise, but in reality it isn't. I really don't know what else I should try, I don't want to reinstall the whole operating system because I'm afraid it (or I) would mess everything up even more (messing up even more drivers).
I'm running on a cable internet connection now, and I'm glad at least that is working (I really need the laptop for work and I can't afford to loose it for a day, let alone for longer)
Could anyone please help me?
Any ideas how to fix this and make wifi work again?
I'll be really thankful for any advice.
Thank you, Miko31.

Hi
In case the WLan card is recognized properly in device manager, the Wlan driver has been installed properly and I dont think that there could be a problem with WLan driver.
In my opinion you should check if the WLan card is enabled properly by using the FN key combination
Furthermore if Wlan has been enabled properly you should try to Add new WLan and should configure the Wifi once again.
This can be done in control panel-> Network & Sharing center -> Manage wireless networks (on the left) -> Add button
> However, Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter was missing on the laptop,
Regarding the Microsoft Virtual WiFi Miniport Adapter
You could enable this in device manager. Here choose your "network adapters", then you should find the Virtual Wifi Adapter. Now do right click it and enable it.
It could be also possible that Virtual Wifi Adapter is hidden. In such case you should first unhide it from the device manger, then re-enable the adapter from the device manger tools.
After that, you have to start your cmd (console) with admin right and should type:
+netsh wlan start hostednetwork+

Satellite C50-A628 running slow

Good day everyone.
Sorry if this post is in the wrong section, but, please help.
I know that maybe some people might think this as a waste of time or just something you could search in google, but, for about *7 months*, I've been trying to figure out why my new laptop is running slow.
As this laptop comes without any pre-installed operating system, there is no restore disk or factory reset disc. For the first few months of using my laptop, it's been running +windows 8.1 pro+.
Every time I use it, it opens everything okay, except when my browser is open. everything becomes unstable and doesn't respond. after a few seconds of not responding, I can use it again as long as I don't multi-task. I've installed the latest graphics drivers and some apps, but that's it. I thought that it was a problem with windows 8 about 5 days ago, so I downgraded to +windows 7 ultimate 64 bit+.
Now, i'm starting to think that maybe the problem is because of the drivers since I didn't install the drivers required for the laptop since it doesn't come with the drivers and reset disk.
So now, I'd like to ask for support on this matter. Please show the proper installation of windows 7 and the all the drivers required for my laptop which is the *TOSHIBA SATELLITE C50-A628 RUNNING WINDOWS 7 ULTIMATE 64-bit*. (Or any idea on why this problem is occuring)
Thank you and have a nice day.
-George B.

One note: the system performance, especially the internet browser issues has NOTHING to do with drivers preinstalled on your notebook. Mostly drivers are not the reason why the notebook runs slow (open software slowly, etc)
Fact is that your Satellite C50-A628 was equipped with 2GB RAM.
Additionaly an part of this 2GB RAM is shared with GPU: Intel HD Graphics
Therefore less than 2GB are used for system and applications.
To be honest; this is not enough to run system smoothly!
I recommend you to upgrade the RAM at least to 4GB/6GB or better 8GB RAM to get better performance.
Regadign the drivers download:
The Win 7 driver can be downloaded here:
