Satellite L650-1N8 - ODD wont open
Hello again ^^
The DVD Drive wont open. Any Idea?
Thought the Eject-mechanism are out of work...
Thanks in regards
Jan
Okay, i removed the ODD and check out what happen. The devicecable cames between the ODD-case and the device himself. I think the ejectmechanism was to weak to overcome the obstacle.
The reason i think was a to fast/hard push back. So be careful guys! ^^

Satellite L850D/00312 - catalyst center / graphics properties wont open
Had to do a fresh install of windows 7 as HDD completely Died.
Have installed drivers and all ok in device manager but the Graphics properties wont open, keeps saying stopped working.
Please tell me what I need to do?
install drivers in specific order? what order? do I Need to start again and fresh install windows 7 again?
Thanks,To be honest the Satellite L850D/00312 is not known to me but as far as I know to get the ATI/AMD display driver working, no special installation order is needed.
Maybe you should simply uninstall the ATI graphic card driver from the system and after new notebook reboot, you should install the graphic driver package once again.
In my opinion this simple procedure should help you to get it working. -
Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of CDs or DVD's after BIOS update
While copying DVD's I was asked to do a bios upgrade from the software that came on my laptop, so i thought coming from toshibsa it should be safe. I closed all my applications and let the update happen, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd's.
Now my dvd writer does not read most of my cds or DVD's,originals as well.
I have managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after quite a battle before the update to see if i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i have two days to copy 100 DVD's for a client and i am unable to do this now,
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650 laptop running windows 7 64 bit 8 gigs memory with a SSD Hard drive> i can go back to my old version but the exe file runs a program that says the version is older then the one i am using so it will not load it
I dont think that BIOS is the problem here the point is that the CD and DVD support details are stored in the CD/DVD drive firmware and NOT in the notebook BIOS.
So in my opinion the BIOS update is not the reason for your issue.
I think you should check if laser lens cleaning would help you to read the disks.
Use an cotton wool tip and alcohol fluid to clean gently the laser lens. -
Toshiba Satellite L650-07U, Hard disk failure and replacement
Hi all,
I have Toshiba Satellite L650-07U Laptop, Model: PSK1EC-0700Q with 4GB RAM, 650GB HD, Windows 7 Home Premium installed. At the time of first use, i made Recovery DVDs which took 4 blank DVDs using Recovery media creator.
From 2 weeks it is giving problem, at start its slowdown with every application, then suddenly it started Hard disk failure error and ask to backup important files. From that instant i did all my backup save in another portable Hard drive.
I had hiren boot CD, and ran RAM test and found it OK, and then run Hard Disk test and found few bad sectors at few certain point, As 650GB Hard disk was taking alot time of time for checking bad sectors, so i stopped that application.
First I tried Recovery DVDs to restore Windows, but it failed as Laptop DVD-Writer was unable to boot from those created DVDs (DVDs are OK as had checked it on Desktop computer DVD-ROM), Laptop DVD-Writer is also working as I test few more bootable CDs and it booted perfectly, but it is not booting from Recovery DVDs.
Than i tried to restore from Recovery partition using Factory restore settings, it erases all data and reinstall new and fresh copy of Windows 7 Home Premium. It works fine for few hours than again pops up Hard Disk Failure message again and again. I searched here in Toshiba Forum and have found similar problem with other members and finally decided that it need to replace Hard Disk with new one. As It is now two and a half month old, thats why i need to buy new Hard Disk for my Laptop.
I checked all partitions of drive using Hiren Boot CD, and had found that there are four default partitions in Toshiba original laptop drive,
One hidden partition of 1.5 GB
One hidden partition of almost 21 GB
One hidden partition of almost 12 GB
One partition of 561 GB, which was the original partition where windows 7 was installed along with all of my Data.
Now I want to replace faulty drive with a new one and have a lot of question in my mind which I need to share with you guys.
At the time of first use I installed Windows 7 64 bit edition, and made Recovery DVDs, and at second time of restore to factory setting I had installed Windows 7 32 bit. I have confusion about recovery DVDs (which is not booting from default DVD-Writer of Laptop), either it has 64 Bit recovery data or 32 bit? Or have both 64 and 32 bit Data.
Toshiba restore to factory setting without using any recovery DVD/USB is the best possible way to restore Windows 7, How can I make same recover hidden partitions from original/faulty hard drives to new hard drive partitions? Is this possible and how?
On Default hard drive there was one partition of 561GB instead of two or more partitions. Is this possible to split partitions in new hard drives instead of one big partition?
As Recovery DVDs are not able to boot from laptop default DVD-Writer, is it possible to open those DVDs on another System and copy tem in USB drive and use it for booting? If it is possible than please show me the steps for making bootable USB from these Recovery DVDs.
Thanks,
masterleous
Solved!
Go to Solution.Satellite L650-07U (PSK1EC-07U00Q)
This site is for US computers. I doubt you'll get your questions for that Canadian model answered here.
There appear to be two recovery partitions. Maybe one for 32- and one for 64-bit Windows. Or maybe one is for English and the other for French.
Your User's Manual isn't much help either. You probably need to ask Toshiba tech support in Canada.
About all I have to offer is this: Be wary of drives with advanced-format technology. See my message about that.

Error -3 / Itunes wont open after updated with Quicktime 7
I have been having problems with my Quicktimes for over a month. I was unale to take my son to his favortie websites. I was able to disable quicktime as a default, but now two things have happend. I can't open up Itunes, and now I can't hear any sound when I go to my son's favorite website. This happened a few days after I disabled it. I removed, and reinstalled Itunes, it wouldn't open, it said that I need to update. I updated it, and it still wont open. WhenI try to internal repair it it tells my error -3. Please help, I am about to lose my mind!
Thanks in advance

ipod mini Windows XPhi geraldo!
When I click change/remove in Add/Remove programs to try to uninstall my older QT the Installshield window momentarily flashes followed by no action.
good lord. a silent failure? that's a little odd.
... so let's check on some odd possibilities first.
check to see if you've got Windows Installer 3.1v2 on your PC. the easiest way to do that is to head to your Add/Remove programs control panel (don't remove anything ... we're just looking), and check to see if "(KB893803)" is showing up next to the entry for Windows Installer. if it is, you're fine. if not, see:
Windows Installer 3.1 v2 (3.1.4000.2435) is available
... let's also check on these possibilities (although the KB docs are about installs, they can apply to uninstalls too):
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7 for Windows: Installation won't work if Cygwin is running
QuickTime for Windows: Uninstall QuickTime 3 or 4 before installing QuickTime 7
iTunes 5 and QuickTime 7: Can't install on a computer with Windows XP Service Pack 2 (Japanese)
if any of those seem to be relevant to your PC, does the QT uninstall go a bit better afterwards?

Satellite L650-1MM - Video display issue
Greetings from Finland.
So, about a month ago I bought this laptop of mine, Satellite L650-1MM, and I've been wondering what the heck is the problem with video display. Dunno for sure is it a problem with the hardware or just something with the computers settings. I mean, even on youtube, I got so pixelated image when watching some 720p HD videofootage, that it hurts. Here's some evidence: [http://img822.imageshack.us/img822/6623/youtubena.jpg] And yes, I got the latest Flash Player plug-ins and all, so that couldn't be it.
And maybe, possibly, when I watch some ********** movies, tv-series or something, they all looke so pixelated. And I know that there's codecs and all, but I'm positive, that I got all that handled. As a matter of fact, in the beginning I had worse video display, but with codecs I got it a little better. Still, I'm far from satisfied. Now, I've heard that there might be some problems with Windows 7 and video display, but you know, can't be sure.
So, basically I'm here to rule out the possibility, that there might be some problem with the hardware. Could there be? The screen looks just fine, when normally idling and for example surfing the net, but streaming videos or watching some videos, oh man, oh man, it's so pixelated. I got the latest display drivers from Toshiba, BIOS-drivers too. Would it be any help, if I got the latest drivers straight from AMD's site (Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5650)? Does that even work? I mean when Toshiba updates their own display drivers and all, and very rarely what I've heard.
Here's my laptops specs:
Satellite L650-1MM
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
BIOS-version 1.80
Intel Core i5 CPU M460 @ 2.53 GHz
4096MB RAM
HDD ~600GB
Ati Mobility Radeon HD 5650 version=8.723.2.0
15"6, 1366x768
True Color (32-Bit)
Conexant Audio Driver For AMD HDMI Codec version=4.98.26.0
So please, If there's any hint you can give me, I would very much appreciate it!
edit.
Also, just remembered, that I had one more problem. When connecting HDMI to my 40" HDTV, and when I close my laptop screen, the sound starts to bug, and in some cases video too. So I have to keep my laptop screen open, so I can watch movies without any sound or video problems. What's with that?

Please take a look to the settings called Choose what closing lid does. This can be found in the control panel -> power options
On the left you can see this option.
There you should choose Do nothing.
Furthermore in Advanced Power settings you can find the option called Multimedia settings
There is a suboption called When playing video. Both settings should be set to Optimize video quality

Itunes wont open. After installing it, It wont open. It only comes up with an itunes software licence agreement then it disaperes and nothing happends? any sujestion will be greatly apreciated.
hi Shaun!
after installing the update for iTunes, it doesn't run (comp makes noises but nothing comes up on screen). when i open task manager itunes is running as a process, but i can't end process.
hmmm. okay, Norton is still our prime suspect here. that "running itunes.exe process that will not die" symptom is associated with the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 launch suppression problems. (people who get that also often see things like looooooong sloooooow shutdown times on the PCs and odd end program dialog boxes.)
let's try throwing the trusty Lorraine M technique at the beast. (it usually fixes the nastier versions of the NIS 2005 problems.)

Infinity wont open, Royal Mail, website and lots o...
Hi All
just got infinity, Today
its working fast, but it wont open websites like www.royalmail.com, www.flipkey.com (just examples)
nor will my smart tv connect to lovefilm, none of my devices will connect to Sonos napster, yet they will stream radio
Tech support is telling me it will settle down by tomorrow?, is this correct, i need these sites and obviously TV and Sonos
Is this usual for a new install?
Please let me know, as at the moment `infinity cant stay!
cheers
chriswww.royalmail.com was not working for me. I am not using BT DNS; but all dns lookups I try (inclduing my router's to BT's) resolve to 77.95.81.226. Using in the browser 77.95.81.226 worked, and after that www.royalmail.com worked too.
Could have been something odd in the chrome browser cache? Try ctrl-F5 (works in most browsers) to refresh the page without cache.
http://www.flipkey.com/ just worked first time. (I'd never visited it before, so not in any local dns/browser cache). -
Can't restore HDD on my Satellite L650-18M
Satellite L650 frozen at boot up. despite mc fee, a virus has stopped boot up. Stops at flashing cursor top left. can boot from recovery cd. BUT restore / recovery wont complete to any selected restore point though it goes through all the motions and then says at end, cant complete with error.
No toshiba hdd recovery option (ie to factory settings) is available in recovery console, or with recovery disk.
D Drive has all the recovery data ok as I can move aroud from c> prompt in dos to alldrives/ areas. Dont have own burned recovery disks. This happened quick .
NOW installed win 7 (64bit) in frustration from 'a' disk, works but all installed s/wareand toshiba drivers now useless . Bottom line, is there a patch to install or a work around that will allow access to reset to the factory settings with the data stored on disk/drive D. Normal methods of starting this process are not availableCan you please tell us which error was shown at the end of recovery installation?
Anyway, now after OS installation with non-Toshiba disc there is no way to start HDD recovery installation again and recovery image can be installed with Toshiba recovery DVD only.
> NOW installed win 7 (64bit) in frustration from 'a' disk, works but all installed s/wareand toshiba drivers now useless
To be honest your posting is a little bit confusing and I dont understand what you want to say with this sentence. If you have installed clean OS you must install all drivers and Toshiba stuff additionally. All of them are available on Toshiba download page.
If you have more questions please be clear and ask one by one so it will be easier to give answer to each of them. -
Re: Satellite L650 PSK1JA: cannot play 2nd Life due to old GPU driver
Hi,
i have a windows 7, Toshiba Satellite L650 PSK1JA-0K4017, video card is ATI mobility Radeon HD5650 and Im unable to use second life ( everything in the worlds is a pink colour) and its unusable because i need an updated display driver
I have tried the AMD website and am unable to install their drivers as they say they are not compatible and i need to obtain my driver from the manufacturer (toshiba)
Trouble is that Toshiba display driver is very outdated 15/03/2010
When are they ever going to update this particular driver and if not does anyone know of a workaround for this issue.
Why is the driver so old.?? If i cant fix this issue i'll be purchasing a new laptop and it definitely wont be a Toshiba again. Useless if they never update their drivers.I think you have to understand that the L650 is a 2010 / early 2011 model - support would have been offered through the product life cycle and for some time afterwards. Most vendors will issue updated drivers where it solves a problem NOT just because to component manufacturer has "tweaked" it and made it version 2.1.1.1.1 rather than 2.1.1.1.0 ie "why fix something that isnt broken" which can make new issues
In saying that i have updated AMD drivers using the AMD reference drivers many times on Toshiba's where the Official Toshiba driver is outdated and have not had an issue, even if there was one you just boot into safe made and reinstall teh original driver - either the one the one the unit shipped with in the TOSAPINS folder or download the last Official update from Toshiba prior to trying the AMD sources driver.
Or sometimes you can download the latest AMD Catalyst Control software from Toshiba - just choose a newer model ie L50D - this gives you the option of either unpacking the driver to a Temp location where you can manually install OR automatic install - automatic install may check the model and fail so you may need to manually install as per previous post.
just bear in mind Toshiba has one of the best reliability scores in the industry - choosing another brand due to 3+ year old unit not having Official current drivers is totally your decision, and buying a brand that is more likely to have a major fault within 3 years is a choice you are welcome to make - from my eperience the choice is easy :) -
Satellite L650 Wireless disconnects and connection can't be recovered
Hello everybody,
I have a connectivity problem with my 3 years old Satellite L650, Windows 7...
I have a wireless LAN in my house, to which my laptop automatically connects at startup, with no problems.
Some time afterwards (it may be minutes or hours) it loses the signal and disconnects.
This isn't a real problem, since the router is quite far away, with walls in between that may reduce the signal, so no surprises.
But I cannot reconnect afterwards: the connection status tray icon stops working.
I mean that it shows the image corresponding to "available wifi connections" or to "connected but without internet access", but neither clicking the icon or moving the mouse cursor over it gives any result... it is responseless, and I cannot connect to my wifi or any other wireless network.
I tried doing it from the control panel - network and sharing center, but the story is the same, both "setup a new connection or network" and "connect to a network" doesn't react when clicked.
The only way to connect is restart the pc.
How can I resolve this?
Any suggestion is appreciated,
thank you!>The only way to connect is restart the pc.
In case this issue would repeat again, try to refresh and renew the IP address.
Go to console (in search type CMD)
Now use the command: ipconfig /renew
After that try to connect to the Wlan again.
In case this would not be helpful, I would recommend changing the router settings.
I mean you should reset the router. Then you should test the Wlan connectivity with different kind of Wlan protection and different Wlan standard (802.11 B G or N)
Test also the notebook with open Wlan. I mean you should disable the encryption in the router settings. But do that just only for testing purposes.
The Wlan should be always secured. -

itunes wont open at all, error message : quicktime was not found .... please reinstall ... i did that but no luck this only seems to have happened since the 10.4 update, im on windows 7 ..
Can you start QuickTime on your computer?
You'll probably have to search for the Windows Installer Cleanup Utility and use it to remove QuickTime Player and iTunes. Then download and install the iTunes again. -
Itunes wont open and when re-installed received this msg: Service Apple mob device failed to start. You have insufficent privileges to start system svc. Help?
Download Itunes from Apple.com, not from within Itunes.
Redo the install, following the below procedure. However, when you re-install Itunes, right click and run the install as administrator. For Win 7, you have to hold down the cntrl and shift keys when you right click and then "run as administrator" will be an option.
Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (Vista, Win 7 & later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.
