Satellite Pro C50-A-154 - battery issues after automatic update

Hi everyone!
First of all, i have to apologize for my bad English if it is not as good as should be..., after this, i could start to tell all of you what happened to me in the last few weeks...
I have an a C50-A-154 Toshiba Satellite Pro, and I use it for some home stuff like watching some youtube videos, listen to music, and that kind of things than a normal user do.
A few weeks ago, a Toshiba Tempro Alert remind me that there were some software updates avaliables to download for my laptop, so I installed them, I normally unplug my battery when I have the AC cord plugged, so, i didn't realize after a week after that my battery was not recognized like it should be for my toshiba.
At first, the windows said that it was totally charged and no need to continue charging, so I unplugged the AC cord, and the laptop shutted down (with battery plugged and seems so be 100% charged).
When I plugged again the AC cord, windows said that the battery was empty, and said, PLugged but not charging...
At the same time, a new update from toshiba was released, this time was for the bios, so i though that it will probabbly fix the problem with the battery, so, I updated the BIOS and then windows said that the battery was full charged again... i couldn't believe....!!
But the system still goes down when yo unplugg the AC cord, and now de battery says again that it is empty..
Yesterday was a new update for Bios, so I give another chance, but nothing has changed.... i can't use the battery, and I have no warranty, so I do not know what to do...
I have read many posts about problems battery lately, in europe forums and US forums.... maybe it's a software problem??? Maybe the boys from toshiba have no idea about this problem??
Thanks for your answers!

Thanks for this late reply ;)
Of course its always pity if something does not work properly.
If my solution did not work, I recommend you to replace the battery.
> and i'm totally sure that my problems started when I updated the laptop....
hmm... i think the update has nothing to do with your issue... it could be a simple bad luck but from my point of few the battery might be damaged.
You should try to order new, comatible battery and should check how the unit would handle new, good working battery.

Win 8.1 Toshiba Satellite Pro C50 - A

I would suggest you to use some disk checking tool and see if the reading/writing of data is working fine from all the disks.
If its fine then you should talk to Toshiba Support on this.

Satellite Pro C50-A - Microsoft Office 2013 apps crash when opened

I recently purchased a Satellite Pro C50-A PSCG7A-01X01V. I installed Windows 8.1 and then installed Office 2013. Unfortunately when I start one of the Office 2013 apps it immediately crashes with an error message eg: "Microsoft Word has stopped working". I have tried starting the applications in safe mode (eg excel /safe) however the same error occurs. Is anyone able to assist with this problem?

I have managed to resolve the issue by using Microsoft's facility to 'Repair Office Programs'. Refer to http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/repair-or-remove-office-2010-HA010357402.aspx

Re: Satellite Pro C50 - Can't install Windows 8

Hi.
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro c50 with Windows 7 preinstalled.
It comes with 2 DVD's containing Windows 8.
I have tried to upgrade to Windows 8 (following the instructions included in the manual: BIOS changes, etc) but I cant install it.
After booting from the DVD, it doesnt appear the Windows 8 install utility, but the Windows 7 recovery options .
Could you please help me?
Thanks in advance,
Sergio

Exactly the same problem.
Toshiba Portege R-930.
Comes with Win 7 preinstalled and 2 CDs with image of Win 8 (Win 8 sticker on bottom of the laptop).
Followed the directions in the leaflet to upgrade to Win 8 (change in BIOS, etc.) like the user above.
It gets only to a blue screen with two options:
1) Toshiba recovery - a frightening black screen with warning that every data will be lost) and
2) System recovery, getting nowhere but to "switch off computer".
At one point got the message that the disc is locked.
Gave up, returned safely to Win 7.
If someone could explain how to do this properly,
Thanks
Ket

Re: How to install Windows 8.1 on new Satellite Pro C50?

I've just purchased a TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO C50 which came with Windows 7 Pre-installed.
Upon starting the system for the first time, I simply shut it down and put the Windows 8.1 Media in the Optical Drive (disk 1 of 4) and then went into the recovery wizard, and may have chosen the wrong option, as I completely wiped the hard drive and partitions.
Now that I've done that, I cannot find the way to install the Windows 8.1 Pro Media from the 4 DVDs provided. I cannot find the correct option to do this. I've changed the boot option in the system settings by pressing F2 upon boot, so it reads from the DVD drive. The DVD starts up but then takes me into a system recovery area, which is no good as I've completely wiped the system.
How can I just simply now install the provided Windows 8.1 Pro onto the clean system now?
Thanks for any advice.

At first I would like to know which notebook model do you have exactly. If possible please post the whole model number (C50-xxxxx). I just want to check specification for this notebook model.
Have you bought this notebook model as brand new product and originally boxed?
Anyway, if you have original recovery installation discs for it you should be able to install it without some problems. Start your notebook and press F12 to enter boot menu. When this menu wil be shown on the screen, put disc 1 into optical disc drive, choose CD/DVD drive in menu and press ENTER.
ODD should start to read disc and recovery wizard will be shown o the screen. Choose option to install out-of-box/factory settings and just follow menu on the screen.

Need new motherboard for Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0

My son's Satellite Pro C50-A-1E0 went completely t*ts up. I think it is a common fault and requires a bios reset or something. Anyway I'm thinking a new motherboard will do the trick.
Any help as to which motherboard to get that is compatible and would this actually help?
Thanks.

Hi nessie
It is not easy to find new motherboard and believe me it is pretty expensive so you can buy new notebook.
What you can do is to contact nearest Toshiba service provider at first. Explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this. They are also able to obtain new motherboard for you.
Addresses and phone numbers you can find on http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/generic/ASP_SUPPORT/

Satellite Pro C50 - no webcam app

Hi
Just bought a Satellite Pro C50, there's a built in webcam but no App to use it ? drivers show in Device Manager and will update but nothing there to use the camera.
Also can't find any reference to this on the Support website, no device drivers, no s/w ?? Only reference online I can see is that the App should be in Tools & Utilities.
How can I check the device works ? any ideas please ?

For Win8 or Win8.1 there is no some Toshiba specific webcam tool. All you can use is standard Windows application integrated in operating system.
More info how to use it you can find here .
If you need more help about support on Toshiba pages please post here full notebook model name or model number.
Just small tip: create recovery media (DVD or USB) as soon as possible. How to do this you can read in users manuals document and don't start with some updates, especially not with BIOS updates.

Elite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update

DElite Pro, CMSS-3D not working and other issues after driver update <font face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif" size="4">Elite Pro CMSS-3D control (on I/O console)no longer controls CMSS-3D.
The only time it works is if the original drivers are installed from the installation CD.
ANY other drivers stop the control on the Elite Pro I/O console from having any effect on CMSS-3D.
Also at one time when I cotrolled volume, CMSS-3D(original drivers), EAX and Crystalizer from the Elite Pro I/O controls then I had on screen display of said control that was being moved(on I/O console).
Now regardless of what drivers are installed, there?are no longer any on screen indicators.
The indicators looked like the ones that show when using the remote controller.
Anyone have any ideas?

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update

My early 2008 Macbook Pro is suffering from black screen after Yosemite update. It ran beta 5 great but failed on restart after beta 6 install. There is no cursor but I can hear the HDD spooling up. I have tried booting in safe mode, PRAM reset and SMC reset but nothing works. After the first 5 days of every now and then trying to start it, it started fine. I used the machine all day with no problems, it had rolled back the install and was back on beta 5. I decided to try the update again, the same thing happened and it has stayed black for over a week now. It wont work with a monitor either. Help!

Hello Adam,
I would try instead of installing the beta software, to install the official build of OS X Yosemite from the Mac App Store to see if that gets you passed the no video issue when updating the beta software.

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?

Is there a fix for the wifi connectivity issue after ios6 update?
Cannot connect to any wifi since update to 6.0.1
How do I get update to 6.0.2?
Will that even help?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Date format Issue after HRSP Update

Hi,
We are faced with a strange issue after HRSP update was applied on our client system (upgraded from SAP-KE-30 to SAP-KE-36).
There is an outgoing interface which picks up all the the starters into the local government pension scheme and updates a B2A document. This is implemented via a z-program.
When we look at the out put after the interface has run for the vast majority of employees it shows their date of birth as 21.05.1968 when it should show it as 21051968. This only appears to have happen after the HRSP's have been applied.
No modifications have been made to the z-program. What could be the reason for this issue. has anyone faced such an issue post HRSP update?
Any pointers on how to further investigate and resolve the issue will be most helpful.
Regards

Hello Iside,
In this case we can try to reload the software on the BlackBerry Smartphone to make sure it is running the latest version and there are no issues with the OS on the device.
To do this we would need to back up the BlackBerry Smartphone. Please open the BlackBerry Desktop Manager and connect your device. Click on the Backup and Restore options and select Back Up. Please note the location where the backup is being saved as we will need to access it later to restore the BlackBerry Smartphone.
Once you have backed up your BlackBerry Smartphone please follow the link below to complete a clean reload of the BlackBerry Smartphone software.
Link: http://www.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320
Please test the date once the software is reloaded prior to restoring the backup.
Thank you

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.

Exchange 2010 - Issues after rollup update installation.
We are having issues since we installed SP3 Rollup updates 1, 2, 3, and 4.
Issue1 - People get an error messages constantly popping up when they access our webmail. The error messages are:
An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled. and
Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again.
Issue2 - When I open the Exchange Management Shell I get the following error:
Failed to connect to an Exchange server in the current site. Enter the server FQDN where you want to connect.
Issue3 - We have been using third party software to filter spam email. It is installed on our Exchange server. Since the updates it has not been working and we have tons of spam coming through. I dont think that this issue is that important at the moment and
hope that it will be fixed after resolving issues 1 and 2.
We uninstalled all four rollup updates in hopes that everything would go back to normal but it hasnt. We still have the same issues.
Currently we are running Exchange 2010 SP3 on 2008R2 SP1.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,
Based on the description, you got the error below when you tried to accessed OWA after rollup update installation.
"An unexpected error occurred and your request couldn't be handled, and Your network connection is unavailable. Please reconnect and try again."
For this issue, I recommend you check the OWA virtual directory to see if "Redirect requests to this destination" is checked. If it is checked, please uncheck the option. Then please restart IIS service to check the result.
Open IIS Manager -> owa -> HTTP Redirect -> uncheck "Redirect requests to this destination:"
Best regards,
