Toshiba Satellite C50-B-14D Intel® 2160 MHz 4096 MB Portable HD GPU

Product Information

Once I did this, and made sure all the other BIOS settings were appropriate for my OS (Linux Mint 19), I rebooted the computer… the problem with my laptop started mostly after i added more RAM to it: used to have 4GB but has 8GB now ... (that puts so much pressure on the PSU which not only causes trouble when starting the laptop, it may as well damage certain components! (have had a similar issue with another laptop in the past as well ...) This is a known issue with the laptops in this line and while one of the other suggestions might work and solve your specific problem, be on the watch for the graphics to eventually die due to dust and/or heat buildup in the future. It's HIGHLY recommended to use a cooling pad under these systems (some of the Toshiba User Manuals even go so far as to tell you that you NEED to use one rather than just SUGGEST it.) and to periodically tear-down and clean out the inside around the heatsink, fan, etc. You'll find the dustier or dirtier your normal environment, the more often you'll need to do it---at least twice per year is a good start, especially if you own pets that shed. WinRAR self-extracting ZIP file includes both Windows-based and diskette based BIOS update installation options. See the included documentation for details.

For CD-ROM BIOS updates in Windows 7 models: (1) Boot from the BIOS CD-ROM. (2) Type BIOS at the prompt then press Enter. The problem is NOT that the BIOS can't save the settings, since even after the battery was removed for some time. The settings I put in were still in the BIOS if I got to it by tapping F2! Press the F10 function key then Enter to save settings and exit. The computer will automatically reboot.Made a change so the S3/S4/S5 (Suspend/Hibernate/Soft Off) Lid wake behavior follows the setup menu setting. Please Note: A laptop battery is shipped with a small storage charge and you will be required to fully charge your new battery when you receive it. It is recommended to do a 16-24 hour initial charge, followed by 3-4 full charge cycles to calibrate your new battery. Please be aware that batteries have a limited storage life and batteries stored for a period of time without being charged / discharged will damage the cells and void any guarantee. See our Rechargeable Laptop Battery Instructions for more information. This machine only has one memory slot, to upgrade you may need to remove the original memory and install the new memory in its place.

On the first machine I had to troubleshoot for quite a while before determining the issue, including everything mentioned here in this thread, until finally deciding to replace the mobo over re-soldering the GPU (which I incorrectly assumed was my only option). On the second unit I reflowed using a hairdryer, followed by my kitchen oven. Big job. Didn't want to have to do that with this machine, so I'm borrowing a heat gun tomorrow and using this procedure found on YouTube: Updated: Intel C0 stepping CPU Microcode to M0C30678813 to fix an issue were the system will display a pop-up format message after Sleep (S3) resume when a WD "MyPassport" HDD is inserted in a USB 3.0 port. So I figured that the BIOS needed to be active long enough for the battery to return a reading that “was up to snuff” to do a successful BOOT.Our energy supplier is working towards using 100% renewable electricity and is a Principal Partner of COP26 but in my case, i've NEVER been using the battery because it's been dead for ages now, also already disconnected from the laptop and kept in a box somewhere ... so, that means i'm using the PSU all the time anyway! Note: The BIOS Launcher "CD_ROM Installation" option may not automatically proceed to burn the CD-ROM in Windows 8x or Windows 10. If this occurs navigate to the directory named after the BIOS filename in the root directory of the C-Drive (ex. C:\skgjv130), and manually burn the CD-ROM from the disc image (ISO) file.
