Satellite P50 stuck in offline charge despite not plugged in

As the subject suggest my P50 has been stuck with the charging led on for almost two weeks now.
This is the third consecutive time it has happened. Once it runs out of battery I can plug it in and start it normally, but I need my laptop more than once a fortnight.
All three times it has been plugged in when shut down for the night, twice into hibernation mode and the most recent time a full shutdown.
Last time I managed to use the laptop I believe it updated successfully to win 8.1 with multiple restarts without any problems.
Is there a way to cut power so I don't have to wait for the battery to die? I've tried to hold down the power button for minutes without any effect. Battery is non-detachable.
Any idea what the fundamental problem is?

Hi
As Im not mistaken this series has been equipped with an force shutdown switch (hole) which allows you to reset the notebook in cases similar to this one.
I found this Toshiba document describing this function:
[Force shutdown switch (hole) for models with a fixed main battery|http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB3C03JR0000R01.htm]
Use it and check if the unit would reboot properly.

My macbook pro keeps zapping me. even when the charger is not plugged in, my hands keep feeling tingly and the fans are running louder than usual

over the last two days since i updated my software, my laptop seems slower, the fans are running louder, and i keep feeling mild shocks (even without the charger). my hands feel really tingly and a little sore. what is going on?

cheesecakeyumm,
have you tried resetting your MacBook Pro’s System Management Controller? (I don’t know if that would have any effect against mild shocks, though.)

I have just reset my my iPhone 4s and it is stuck on the apple screen, not being recognised by iTunes and fully charged, any ideas how to get it to turn on properly?

Apple recommends backing up the data when you're getting the battery replaced by them. So I assume that you will likely lose the data during this process.
Will the data on my iPhone be preserved?
No, during the service process all data on your iPhone will be erased. Before obtaining service, it is important to back up your data using iCloud or iTunes. Apple is not responsible for the loss of information while servicing your iPhone and does not offer any data transfer service. During service, Apple may exchange your iPhone with an iPhone that is new or equivalent to new in performance and reliability.
Following service, your iPhone may have a newer operating system (iOS) version and you will need torestore your data using the method used to back it up (iCloud or iTunes). As a result, you may also need to update your App Store applications to ensure compatibility with the newer iOS. If you experience a problem with an application purchased from the App Store, check to see if an update is available or contact the application vendor directly.

HDMI audio is not working on my Satellite P50-A-14G

Hello, my pc is a SATELLITE P50-A-14G, and I'm writing this because when I conect the HDMI to my pc, the audio doesn't work. I've tried almost everything, but it doesn't seem to recognize the HDMI as sound player. Image is good, but sounds keep playing from the speakers of the laptop itself.
I've checked the playback tab on the sound config and it doesn't appear HDMI device to select.
I've also checked on the Device Manager and uninstalled the "IDT High Definition Audio CODEC" wich was automatically updated once reset the laptop, but I didn't appreciated any changes at all. I have also checked if the HDMI output was in disabled, but it doesn't appear at all. I don't know what else to do! Help me, please!

Hi
Click with right mouse button and enable options “show disabled devices” and “show disconnected devices”.
Is HDMI device shown now?
If your notebook recognized TV the sound device must be detected too.
Do you use original preinstalled OS that you got with your notebook?

New battery charge us not increasing. Stuck at16%

I Had a new battery installed in my iPhone 5 today and the battery charge has not increased at all. Still at 16% the same as it was when I got it back 3 hours ago. Is it's to be expected or do I need to return to the Apple store?

Thank you. I went to the apple store and they said the phone needs to be replaced and they don't have a 5 and it has to be exact goods for goods so they will get one tomorrow. The crashing is a hardware problem and they cannot fix it. I do appreciate your guidance.

This is a user supported frum, so making threats really doesn't help, besides which it's not like any of us can really make a dent in Toshiba's bottom line despite how many people we think we can influence. Unless those people were standing in line to buy a Toshiba product cash in hand, and you pulled them out, it really doesn't add up for them.
At this point it would probably be better for you to use the 800 number. Have all your e-mails ready to forward, if needed, to whoever you end up talking to. Don;t let them off the hook. An hour on the phone is much better than weeks passing e-mails through a support site. Also contest the charge with your bank or credit card.

Satellite P50-B-103 - Connect my HDMI output to a VGA monitor

Hello everyone,
I have just bought a satellite *P50-B-103*, which only has a HDMI output and I would like to connect it to an external VGA monitor.
I thought I only need to buy a HDMI - VGA converter but the buyer said to me that Toshiba, unless this model, is not prepared to connect to a VGA monitor although I use a converter.
Is it true or I can connect my laptop to the vga monitor using the converter?
Thanks in advance,
Charly

The point is that HDMI provides digital signal and the VGA (RGB) port support analogue signal.
To be honest I read many articles about such adapters and converters but in many cases such converters are useless.
So its no matter if your notebook was manufactured by Toshiba or other manufacturer.
Itsa matter of the signal standard supported by each port.

My ipad 2 died. It is not charging and not working. Help?

My ipad 2 has suddenly died. It is not charging and not working. It is under the one year warranty. Does anybody have experienced such problem?

If you are stuck with the Apple logo then the last section on this page http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281 suggests putting the iPad into recovery mode http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4097 (which so far I havn't need to do with mine)

Dynadock U10 USB charge mode not working/ charging

Hi, when in undock mode the 2 front USB ports do not charge an iPhone 4G. Its a Dynadock U10 PA3575E-1PRP. Set charge mode after undock is ticked in Dynadock Utility. iPhone charges ok when docked. As soon as the Dynadock is undocked the iPhone stops charging.
Any ideas?
Only other entry is here [http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/General-Technology/Cannot-charge-with-frontside-USB-Ports-on-Dyndock-U-with/td-p/143880] but no solution posted.
Cheers, Dan.

Akuma - Yes, other devices charge ok.
Called Toshiba support and they say this is in fact correct. The iPhone will not charge despite other devices charging ok. I asked why and they replied “that’s what 2nd line support says!” I was offered to return the item if I was not satisfied.
One of the key reasons for buying the Dynadock was to charge the iPhone overnight when the Dynadock was asleep. What a pity :-(
Curious as to the cause of this and I hope Toshiba can find a solution to the issue in the future considering there are so many iPhones out there. Toshiba has a great product in the DynaDock with the exception of this issue.

Charging led not working

I have been using my blackberry Z10 for the past week and I noticed that despite being told that the LED light should turn green when the battery is fully charged, and my settings are all correct, this simply is not happening.
I was wondering if it could be a fault in the phone or if it is a software issue.
Many thanks for your time,
Dan D

Yea, that manual does state such, but that is when the device is turned off and charging. Not while on.
The onscreen icons apply when the device is powered on.

IMessages status is stuck in offline

My iMessages status is stuck in offline. When I try to click "available" it doesn't change.

Hi,
The Messages app may well be set to Off line if the Bonjour account is Not active and you only have the iMessages account and Bonjour.
The Status setting only refers to Buddy Lists (As in iChat).
The iMessages is either Enabled (and therefore Logged in and Active) or not.
Other than error messages telling you a iMessage cannot be sent there is no way of knowing (well you do see "Delivered" and "Read" under sent messages).

Iphone 6 Offline/Local Songs NOT Synching! HELP??! [Done Troubleshooting Steps]

I have had Spotfiy for years now. I really value the offline mode and being abel to download songs offline as well as adding local files. When I first had it everything synched fine as long as I had it on the same wi-fi. Every since I got an Iphone 6 the offline synching has been very shoddy. I recently got a newer iphone and synched my offline playlist. Many Local songs did not synch and other songs despite being marked for offline didn't download. When I download playlist offline it's like the app chooses what to download. There is no devices tab anymore so I've lost more control on download offline. I have taken these steps:
- I resynched everything. I even tried downloadign at a high quality.
- I have both my iphone opened to spoifty and my Laptop opened to spoifty. They are on the same wi-fi
-The firewall has been editied and my wifi ports are opened.
-I've tried redownloading spofity -I even made a playlist called "Local Songs" for all the local songs I want offline. Still not the whole playlist synched.
I have no idea what else to do and I can't stand not being able to synch everything. I tried looking for a way to contact support but nothing. I was only able to make this thread. Any SUGGESTIONS? PLEASE HELP!

Hey there,
so are you a premium subscriber? You need to put your downloaded local files into a seperate playlist and make it available offline on your iPhone. To do so, you need to be on premium. The songs will sync automatically after enabling the offline button on top of the playlist.

Satellite P50-A-144: Intel WLAN driver update solves unstable WiFI

The notebook Toshiba Satellite P50-A-144:
The current Toshiba Download Driver version is the 16.5.1 (OEM Version) and is already installed on the notebook, and the current Intel Download Driver version is the 16.10.0 (generic Version).
*This new version solves the problem of unstable WiFi/WLAN Internet connection.*
Will Toshiba have available soon the OEM version updated to the 16.10.0?
Thank you.

Intel has released as of 06/26/2014 a new Driver Version 17.0.5.8 and
Toshiba up to 07/12/2014 still has not updated the corresponding Toshibas OEM Version,
either the previous Intels older Version 16.10.0.5 has not been updated by Toshiba.
It seems the Drivers update by Toshiba takes very very long time until they are ready to download on the Toshiba Support web page.
Unfortunatly, Intel does not recommend to install the generic Driver on Toshiba-OEM Systems, because they do not provide support in case of issues after installation, and suggest to get the Update directly from Toshiba, so there is no other chance, just to wait for the Update until Toshiba released the OEM-Version.
Are there other alternatives?

Unable to use any USB ports on Satellite P50-A (PSPMHC-01M00P) are Windows 7 Ultimate Install

Hi Everyone,
I created a dual-boot Win7/Win8.1 system on my Satellite P50-A (PSPMHC-01M00P) unfortunately, even though I was able to find a working USB Controller driver from a similar model's Win7 driver, I can not get the laptop to recognize or install anything USB device regardless of which port I plug the device into. It's as if my USB ports are disabled when in Windows 7. This isn't the case with my Windows 8.1 installation.
Could this be a driver issue since I know it's not a hardware one? Could anyone recommend a suitable non-Canadian Windows 7 64bit chipset driver that I could try in hopes to resolve my USB functionality?
Any help is appreciated.

Satellite P50-A-01M (PSPMHC-01M00P)
We support US computers at this site. Everything for that Canadian model is here.
Unfortunately, your site does not include anything for Windows 7. As you've noticed, that Windows version does not support USB 3.0 natively. It needs a driver.
But you are in luck! Because it's in the same part-number family (PSPMHx), this US computer uses the same drivers and utilities. Compare the specs.
Satellite P50-AST2GX1 (PSPMHU-01G00R)
Those downloads are here.
If you want everything to work, the order of installation is important. Start with a clean install of Windows 7. Install the chipset software and display drivers prior to any other drivers. Install the TVAP before any other Toshiba utilities.
