Satellite Pro C650-139 - Faulty USB ports

Bought a C650-139 about 3 weeks ago and after 5 days the USB ports started to work intermittantly and then stopped altogether.
Did a system restore and even tried booting with a linux live cd but the machine would not recognise anything plugged into either port.
Contacted the dealer and they got me a shiny new replacement but now it has gone the same way :(
I only have 2 Kingston USB memory sticks and a USB mouse that I've used in these laptops. The devices work fine in other laptops and PCs.
Windows Device manager shows the USB root hubs installed and if I uninstall them then the OS redetects and reinstalls them.
Anyone else had this problem with this model?

I don't have this notebook model but it must be really annoying when something like this happen.
I agree with Jeka. Bring notebook back to your local dealer and exchange it for other notebook model.
Series C must be new one and I think you should take new A series, for instance A660. I saw it last week and I must say it is really nice notebook.

There are no errors in Device Manager, devices in the USB ports are not recognised.
I've removed SP2 and they're the USB ports are working again.

Any suggesttions? Thanks in advance.

You should simply delete the USB controller from the device manager.
After the new reboot the USB ports should works again!

External USB Hub limit for Satellite Pro C650

Is there a limit to how many external usb ports you can connect through the Satellite Pro C650?
Wtih the four port hub I have, the ports seem to work individually and all devices work normally when plugged directly into the lap top, but when all devices are plugged into the hub and lap top combined, there are errors coming up.
Thanks,
Karyn

Well, I think this should not be a problem if the single USB hubs provide own power.
The point is that the single USB port provides common 500mA and if more devices would share the power from one USB port then it could be possible that the available 500mA would not be enough for all USB devices.

Satellite Pro C650 - arrow, slash, and z keys are not working

Can any one help - my slash keys, arrow keys, z and question marks have stopped working.
I have seen several other posts on various forums for exactly the same combination of keys.
I have a Satellite Pro C650.

Sounds like a keyboard malfunction.
Can you use the external USB keyboard properly?
If you did not notice the same problems using external keyboard, then I would recommend replacing the internal keyboard.

Satellite Pro C650 - HDD issue - need new one

Satellite Pro C650 Model Number: PSC09A-01V021
Smart Disk reports a unspecified HDD problem & recommends backup (done) & HDD replacement.
It runs so slow it is unusable. Warranty has expired so I wish to replace the HDD myself.
The faulty drive is a Toshiba 320gig MK3265gsxn.
I'm looking at a 500G WD 16M 7200RPM SATA 2.5Inch Scorpio WD5000BPKX as replacement/upgrade.
I assume the new drive will be detected/setup by BIOS but I don't know if the recovery disks will work with this Western Dig, larger & faster drive. Can anyone advise please?
Recovery Disk questions.
When I made the recovery disks using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator the program suggested marking the first few disks as Recovery Disk 1, 2 & so on. I assume these disks are my user data backup. Yes/No?
The last disk made was called Windows Recovery Environment-64bit. This is the factory default backup & is to be installed first?
Will it transfer the Recovery Partition & install Windows on the new disk?
Thanks,
GJL.

Now when you need to exchange HDD I recommend you to exchange it with SSD. It costs a bit more but believe me notebooks performance will be much better. Ive made the same and Im so happy.
Notebook starts faster and operate much better.
Recovery image disc is back-up of original recovery image and it has nothing to do with your personal settings.
When you install it notebook will have factory settings again and it will be identical situation when you have started your notebook for the first time.
In my opinion there should not be any problem to use created discs with new HDD. Generally speaking there is no some limitation and you can use different HDDs.
Anyway, think about SSD.

Satellite Pro C650, Boots OK, after Windows starts up the screen goes white

Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro C650.
It boot fine.
I can see Windows starting up - after startup - the screen goes completely white.
Has anyone seen this?
Am geussing it might be a loose display connection - but I the screen displays the startup sequence and initial windows startup.
Regards,
eeiddne

Hi
I dont think your display is faulty.
What happens if you access the BIOS at the beginning?
To access the BIOS press F2 while powering on the unit.
Access the BIOS and keep it running for some minutes and check if the display will turn to white.
Additionally its advisable to connect an external monitor and to output the display to the 2nd screen. If the 2nd screen would not be OK, then the graphic chip might be the troublemaker.

Hi Auracles1,
Here's a pretty discussion regarding wireless printing with this device and a Mac.
http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-networking-and-wireless/HP-Officejet-6500-E 709n-wireless-issue/m-p/258853
I have a similar OfficeJet and it was a multi-step process. (1) Install printer drivers on the machine, (2) Add the printer queue in print & fax, (3) Run the "setup wizard" from the disc for wireless printing.

Sometimes you have to reset the SMC two or three times for it to work, don't know why. I've seen that error message before and 100% of the time it was fixed with an SMC reset. I suppose it's possible that your keyboard or mouse IS drawing too much power, do you have access to another you could try?

Hi,
I purchased Huawei Dongle and trying to connect with my new MacBook Pro (OS- Mountain Lion) USB port 3.0 but unfortunately it does not support.
When I plugged in my macbook the power is flowing in dongle due green light blinking twice in every 3 sec but no connection found or diver shown.
Please let me know how I have to use it. I got some suggestion for USB hub 2.0 but It does not make any sense and driver installation.
So please suggest proper direction to use it and provide link to install any driver.
Thanks
Tauheed Ahmad

Yes Clinton I did same, but they were (Huawei customer support) surprised about this problem, They behave like they have no idea about USB 2.0 and 3.0 knowledge. They handsUp that reason I posted my problem in this forum.
So is there any better solution to use any mediator between these USB version handling, Please let me know.
Thanks
Tauheed

My Satellite Pro C650 doesn't start or charge

Hi,
can someone please help me?!
I just purchased my Toshiba Satellite Pro C650.
Charged it for 16 hours, set it up and after restarting it went off and now it doesn't turn on of charge at all.

Hi
Remove the batter and disconnect the AC adaptor.
Then wait some hours and connected both parts to the notebook again.
Then try to power up the unit.
If this will not help you, then I would recommend asking a notebook technician for an check. If there is no sign of life, then a serious hardware problem might be possible.

Faulty USB port message & froozen iPod with picture of dock connector

Hello,
I've got a problem with a faulty USB port. I've been connecting my 3rd gen iPod (2003, touch wheel, dock connector) to my windows using computer for year - but today it doesn't work. I downloaded the latest version of iTunes and was about to syn/upload my iTunes library to my iPod but then computer says I have a faulty USB connection. There is nothing wrong with the USB ports. The iPod shows a picture of the dock connector, and then shuts down. I've tired resetting the iPod but the same thing happens. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Andrea

the new updater is screwing up 3rd and 4th generation ipods. you can buy a new ipod at your local electronics store.

Satellite Pro C650 - Audio keeps cutting out

Hi Guys,
I have searched high and low for the answer to this and its driving me insane. I really hope you guys can help me out!
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 01301J laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32Bit. I try and listen to music either through spotify or simply using my library of music in Windows Media Player,
however after a while the audio cuts out. It isnt muted in mixer and the song keeps playing as if nothing has happened, except I cant hear anything.
This is fixed when I mute and unmute or turn the volume up or down using the fn keys.
When I first start up the music it will take 5 minutes or so before it happens, however once it starts it will cut out every 10 seconds or so. This gets extremely annoying and I am convinced there must be a solution.
My audio driver is Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD version 4.119.0.61. I have tried deleting this and reinstalling it, downloading an older driver and updating it. It tells me it is the latest driver but its still not solved the problem.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there another driver I could try or perhaps a program that is causing it?
I would really appreciate your help on this as its driving me crazy being unable to listen to any form of music without having it cut out every 10 seconds...

Hi guys - thanks for your help and I sincerely apologise for the delay in my response!
Truthfully, I was so busy when I wrote this I forgot that it happened and all this time later I was googling solutions tot he problem again and came across this post - I thought "Wow this guy is having the EXACT same problem as me!" - Then I saw my name next to it.
Ok, responses:
Silas - The problem has happened since day 1. I tried to reinstall the value added package but no change.
MasterG - I have not muddled with my system and it has always happened so I think its a software/hardware fault... The sound works perfect through headphones though...
Neion - Sorry to hear that bud!
PauPau - Sound driver update doesnt work, headphone did work, usage of different players has no effect and havent tried system recovery as yet as it has always happened...
Still searching for an answer and, again, I apologise for not getting back to you sooner when you were trying to help me!
Thanks Guys,
Luke

Satellite Pro C650 - Which startup programs can I disable?

After about two weeks with a new Satellite Pro C650 that I bought for my wife, a lightweight user, she is about to throw it at me.
Everything runs slowly. Click start: wait. Open the Control Panel: wait. The wait time is in the range of 20 - 30 seconds. Internet is often slower - especially Internet Explorer, which often goes into a Not Responding state. (Google Chrome performs better although it's not great either) Steps taken so far include a defrag of the C: drive, which was 5% defragmented. I ran a troubleshooting scan off of the Control Panel and it informs me that I have loads of programs running on start-up and suggests I disable some. I had read previously that this is a problem with this Toshiba.
The question then is what to disable? I don't know what most of the programs are or what they do. I'll list the programs here and then gladly take suggestions. By the way, BitDefender was listed three times in the start-up list. I disabled two of them for what it's worth.
The only apps I downloaded were BitDefender and Adobe Acrobat. McAfee antivirus has been removed. Other laptops in the house work fine with the same wireless broadband connection. Hoping someone can help out and tell me what I can disable.
The Start-up list:
SAIICpl Application
Synaptics Pointing Device Driver
Message Center
SmartFaceVWatcher
Catalyst Control Center
Nero BackItUp
Default Manager
BitDefender 2011 (listed three times)
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager
All of these Toshiba applications:
- Power Saver
- Zooming Utility
- Flash Cards
- ReelTime
- TEMPRO
- HDD SSD Alert
- Volume Regulators
- Notebook Registration
- Service Station
- Web Camera Application
Thanks.

Hi
First of all you can find out yourself what the single applications do and what are controlled by these apps use google to get more details.
But Nero BackItUp, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager can be disabled wihotu having any problems with the notebook
TEMPRO is a Toshiba tool which scans the systems and provides info about new Toshiba driver updates
Its your own personal decision if you want to use it or not
Notebook Registration helps you to register the notebooks warranty and Service Station provides some option to optimize the notebooks performance but its nice to have but its not very important

Satellite Pro C650 - motherboard is dead

Hi
1st post but here goes.
Owned Satellite Pro C650 for a year now and a wek ago just started smoking then went off.
I checked with my warranty & ran out on Sep 30.
Now my problem is i cannot seem to find info on the mobo that is inside.
I have not open or anything but where you put RAM chips you can see clearly a little square chip burnt.
So i would like to ask is this a common fault.
Also the model number of mobo so maybe i could get a replacement.
Think thats all
thanks for any replies

Hi
> I checked with my warranty & ran out on Sep 30.
This is really a bad luck Its pity that your warranty ran out just before the motherboard died.
It sounds like an overheating issue
What to say in your case the motherboard needs to be replaced and a new part could be ordered from Toshiba ASP in your country.
But new motherboard is expensiveits one of the expensive notebook parts beside the notebooks display so not sure if its worth to replace the mobo in your case
However, you can ask the ASP technician for a opinion maybe you could get an second hand part

IPhone 3G Faulty USB Port

I have a faulty USB Port (where you plug the USB Cord into the iPhone) in my Phone. Is there anything I can do to fix it.

If it is broken and you're still under warranty, take it back to Apple for service. If no warranty search the net for iphone repair or check the iphone service faq's: http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/#warranty7
If it is no physical damage, what are the symptoms?
