Satellite L650 without holes on cooling vent at the bottom

Hello. I need some help please.
I have this Toshiba Satellite L650
There is this air vent here which seems to be shut and have no holes in the plastic, is this normal or was it a mistake when they assembled it and i should take it back? I've seen other laptops and they have holes in the plastic there but my laptop doesnt have.. Can you guys post some pictures of your Toshiba laptops so i can compare? Thanks. Here are pictures.

Hi lolke,
I can only tell you that friend of me has Satellite L650 too and its the same, no holes on the bottom side. So everything is ok with your notebook, there is no problem!!!
I assume Satellite L650 as pretty good fan and cooling so the wholes are not necessary.
Just have fun with your new notebook! :)

I can't see my tools such as eraser or lasso on the pixel sizes in editor. I am on a IMAC with Mavericks and of course, 12.1. I can't work without getting to my tools at the bottom.

I can't see or get to my tools such as eraser's size or lasso's pixels or brushes in Editor. I am Victoria <removed> on an IMAC with Mavericks and 12.1 in Photoshop. My email is< removed > and I live in CT so just in case you have any helpful advice. My cell. phone is < removed >.
Personal info removed.

With the image displayed on the screen, the pixels are 1944 by 2592. By going to the units & rulers, the pixels were 300 by 72 screen with rules as inches, type as pt. and print & photo were listed as inches.
I did try the system preferences display but it didn't give me pixels. Unless you mean going under the Apple which didn't give me pixels under Display.
Thanks.

+But my laptop model A660 has no holes on the bottom side where the fan is. I think you know what I'm talking about. Here is the picture from model L650 of another user, mine is the same: http://img815.imageshack.us/img815/760/dsc009271.jpg+

Same thing here for me the cpu ventilation grid is closed i wonder how the cpu can be cooled??
I first noticed warm air coming out of the computer then noticed the closed grid, and high temperatures with softwares such as Everest.
This is common to the L650 series but on previous satellite laptops the same grid is opened :

I don't get the point of a closed ventilation grid...*

>THx for your reply but i'm still worried that the cpu cannot be cooled.
Why?
There are enough cooling vents at the bottom of the unit.
>This grid is opened on the L670 for example.
Yes, but the L670 is another notebook series and support another layout.
> If i use a cooling pad how can it help since there is no air intake.
Why you want to use additional cooling pads if the notebook cooling modules are working properly? Sorry mate but I dont understand this the notebook should functions without any usage of any additional cooling pads.
If this is not the case then there must be something wrong with the cooling system and in such case the technician should check this but since the notebook is working properly, there is no reason for usage of such cooling pads

Satellite L650 PXE-E63:error while initializing the NIC - Start Up Error

I have a Satellite L650 which is 2 month old.
The motherboard makes a ticking noise (I think that is what is making the noise), and when this noise takes place it causes the computer to be very slow!! It has been this way since I pretty much got it.
Today, the computer made the noise, my itunes music started skipping (it was the only program running) and the computer froze, and told me it couldnt find windows. When I restart my computer it runs the windows 7 startup repair, finds nothing wrong, and restarts the computer. When the computer restarts, the screen stays black for a very long time....then it flashes a blue screen (the flash is so quick I have no idea what it says) and asks if I would like to run the repair again. I select no, start windows normally....and the screen goes black for a very long time, however their is no ticking noise, but it appears nothing is happening.
If I force a restart, I get an error message saying along the lines of;
For Atheros PCIE Ethernet Controller... check cable connection
PXE-E63:error while initializing the NIC
PXE-MOF:exiting intel PXE ROM
No bootable device-insert boot disk and press eny key
PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

hi,
> The motherboard makes a ticking noise (I think that is what is making the noise), and when this noise takes place it causes the computer to be very slow!
the hard drive may do a clicking sound and also pxe error message can appear if hdd stop working. You can read it here:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=8
what if you enter bios (f2 on startup) and check if hdd listed there. but anyway, you shouldn't be worry :) your lap is still new and under warranty. So, it will be fixed for free.

Satellite L650 & Win8 - how to go back to Win7?

I installed windows 8 consumer preview over my windows 7, is there an option to return to windows 7?
I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-1K2.
I tried to activate the hdd-recovery by pressing 0 and then turn on the computer but that doesn't work.
So are there possibilities to return to windows 7?

If you did not create the recover disk BEFORE upgrading the system to Win 8 then you have no other choice as to order a new Recovery disk from Toshiba

Need new graphic drivers for Satellite L650

Hello everyone,
I'm going to explain my situation, that I think many others have this same problem with the toshiba right now.
1 year ago and some month pass after I got my first laptop Toshiba Satellite L650-11F and in the beginning I was thinking this computer will work without problems for at least 2 years. Well, today I found one "BIG" problem with the toshiba... I can't install the new drivers for my graphic card AMD ATI Mobility RADEON HD 5650 from the official AMD driver website.
Today I buy Battlefield 3 for my machine, but my drivers are old, can't handle the graphics well and the solution is to download the new drivers from AMD, but is impossible. What I ask is for the Toshiba Dev's get the new AMD drivers ready do download as fast as possible, because right now I got in hands a game that was suppose do run without a problems and the old drivers killed the game completly.
I receive all the time new drivers for WLAN all the time, I don't need that. My graphic card don't have updates for almost 1 year, is a joke!

It is well known that display or graphic drivers for mobile units (notebooks) should be downloaded from notebook manufacturers download page. Offered drivers must be tested. Many people have reported the same but, generally speaking, it is nothing new.
Portable units have specific design and built in cooling system is designed to cool down hardware placed in notebook case. New drivers force graphic card can force graphic card to run with more power and offer more performance. More performance means more heat. If the cooling system canot cool down graphic adapter result will be overheating or even hardware damage.
Thats the reason why notebook manufacturers dont offer graphic card drivers update so often as manufacturers for cards designed for desktops.
One other thing: notebooks from series L are not the best machines for gaming. I have used several Toshiba notebooks in the past and it is my personal opinion.

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!

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.

Satellite L650: Some combinations with the FN button do not work on W7x64

Hello,
System
<h3>Satellite L650-1KU</h3>Part number
<h3><span class="partNo">PSK1LE-01700MRU</h3>
I have install Windows by myself - this laptop haven't any OS from factory.
Installed Windows 7 x64, all drivers and utilites from Toshiba driver site for windows 7 x64 accessible for my laptop model.
I have no any unknown devices in Windows Device manager, all drivers installed and all hardware components woks fine i.e. wifi or bluetooth or web camera.
But I still can't use some of keyboard combinations with Fn button. Not all, just five combinations do not work: Fn+F2 power modes, Fn+F4 hibernate, Fn+1,2 zoom and Fn+F8 wirelles devices.
From search I have found only mentions about Fn+1,2 zoom - this funtion provide some util named Toshiba Zoom but on download page no any Toshiba Zoom for my laptop model and W7.
Looks like there must be installed some additional utils from vendor for handling this combinations but I cant find any additional info or soft on driver download page.
May be there are some utils what shold be located in lists of drivers/soft for 32 bit windows and it will be fine for 64 bit one?
All combinations which works fine like volume +- Fn+3 Fn+4 or mute Fn+ESC does not shows any popus at moment of pressing, just <span class="short_text"><span class="hps">perform <span class="hps">its <span class="hps">function <span class="hps">without any indication.
Dear users and support, can you help me what I should install from additional utils to provide support for combinations Fn+F2 power modes, Fn+F4 hibernate Fn+1,2 zoom and Fn+F8 wirelles devices?

Have you installed the Toshiba Value Added Package?
Have a look on the Toshiba support/downloads website. Ensure you install the Win7 64bit version of TVAP designed for the L650 series.
Updating the BIOS may also help.

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?

Hi
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

Satellite L650-11R - not able to connect to public networks

Hello there.
Although I am very pleased with my laptop, I have one problem. I am not able to connect to public networks using ethernet cable at some location (not everywhere) Users with different laptops have no problem connecting to the same networks that I cannot, so I'm guessing the problem is my laptop.
I always get "unidentified network" error. I tried replacing the cable but the problem still remains.
Any suggestions?

Hi everybody, I have the same problem which happened with united & for the same product Satellite L650-1HR & also using default Toshiba OS, Windows 7 home premium.
from my home I can't connect to internet & always get "unidentified network" error also I tried replacing the cable but the problem still remains. only at my home & the same cable working properly with any other Laptop without any problem, outside home internet working properly without any problem.
I tried all ways, turned off firewall & the DHCP is already enabled, but I'm getting message telling that " the local aria connection does not have a veiled IP configuration"
So what do you think?

Satellite L650-12Q - Toshiba HDD Recovery not working

Toshiba Satellite L650-12Q
Windows 7 64bit
I am attempting to re-install Windows using the Toshiba HDD Recovery software on my hard disc in order to restore the computer to factory settings.
I followed the procedure to do this in System Recovery Options, but received the following message:
"The recovery of the operating system is impossible!
Could not find HDD Recovery folder on second drive of the first hard disk. There is no valid HDD Recovery environment on this computer."
Further details:
Prior to doing the above, I backed up the system and files and folders using AOMEI Backupper. I then made the mistake of merging partitions C: D: and E:, E: contained the HDDR files.
After trying the above recovery and receiving the message above, I re-installed the system file I had backed up to an external hard disc, which resulted in a copy of C: drive and E: drive containing the HDDR files.
Unfortunately, when I tried to recover the OS, the same message appeared.
I then tried to use a System Restore disc I had created a few weeks ago, but found that for some reason that CD is blank.
The good news is that the computer still works - slowly - and the HDDR files appear to be still there but, for some reason, inaccessible.
What are my options? I want to go back to initial factory settings so that I can start afresh and re-install the programmes and files that I want. (I have backed up all my files and have installation discs for programmes.)
If the worst comes to the worst and I have to buy a Windows 7 disc (if that is still possible - I don't want Windows 8), would it be possible to install that on to this computer and would it give me a clean install without any of the rubbish that is presently cluttering up my computer?
Thank you for reading, and I should be grateful for any advice you can offer.

Thanks for your help.
I have since found some recovery discs (3x DVD-R) that I created on 18 July 2010, when I first bought the laptop. For some reason, however, these do not work.
I followed the published procedure:
1. Load first recovery disc.
2. Turn off computer's power.
3. Whilst holding down F12, turn on computer.
4. When "Toshiba leading innovations" appears, release F12.
5. Use 'up' and 'down' cursor keys to select CD-ROM icon from menu.
6. Follow menu.
After item 4, "Boot menu" appears, giving options HDD, eSATA, CD, etc. I selected "CD", but nothing further happens.
It looks to me like things are worse than I thought, but on the positive side the computer still works.
Is there anything more that I can do?

Re: Satellite L650-116 - fan speed at 90% constantly

I have a Toshiba Satellite L650-116 psk1je...the fan speed is at 89-90% almost all the time even though I practically don't do nothing on it ... I don't have any games running or programs which require big system requirements.
The temperature of the core is between 42-45 degrees. Can the problem come from the last BIOS version 2.10 ? I tried to install a previous version of bios 1.80 but it won't let me to install it because it's older than the one I already have.

i managed to fix it up.. it was from the dust, at least that was the problem in my case.. I just blown through the holes underneath the laptop and the fan is working at normal parameters .. hope this helps for all the others who have the same problem
