Toshiba Satellite C50-A (Window 7 install problem)

Window 7 install problem

Solution-

1.Cause of this problem ” this laptop is designed to work with GPT based OS. it won't let you install MBR based OS”


2. in some cases the only thing that could work is to go to bios by hitting F2 and then go to the security menu and turn off the secure boot option, as shown in the image below

3. if you are lucky the laptop should boot up with windows7 DVD, and if still, it doesn’t boot , again go to bios, and go to the advanced menu and see if you find the boot mode option there, if it is available then you have to chose CMS to boot instead of UEFI boot, save settings and restart.

if the above solution doesn’t work, go to step 4

4. as you can see in the image below, there is no option available to chose the boot mode, this laptop was locked to UEFI boot mode by company, we have to unlock this menu,

5. to unlock the menu we have to flash the bios with the version that have the “boot mode” option, no need worry, I have created an ISO image for this bios update that you can download

 Touchpad not working after boot?

Solution = Step

press fn and every key button on the laptop and will turn back on, happened to me apparently fn and a random key turn the touchpad on and off.

Having just installed new windows 10 update, my Toshiba Satellite C50 - A -1DV now has no sound. 

The solution suggests you run the in-build troubleshooter and check if it helps. Open control panel> on the search tab>type troubleshooting> click view> Select playing audio>Select that and follow the onscreen wizard. You may also visit the manufacturer's website and try installing the drivers.
