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

Product Information

WinRAR self-extracting ZIP file includes both Windows-based and diskette based BIOS update installation options. See the included documentation for details. I was having the same problem and tried every trouble shooting recommendation listing in every post… yet they did not work! Made a change so the S3/S4/S5 (Suspend/Hibernate/Soft Off) Lid wake behavior follows the setup menu setting. 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. 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.

Once I did this, and made sure all the other BIOS settings were appropriate for my OS (Linux Mint 19), I rebooted the computer… So what would keep the BIOS active long for the battery to read a consistent and sufficient power to achieve a successful BOOT?!?!? At 2-Power, safety is a priority. We only use UL1642 certified cells. All components are separated by insulated fire retardant paper. This prevents components touching and potentially short circuiting. In addition all cells have a rubber separator for increased safety. Flat metal connectors are used which have a low resistance, do not overheat and are less prone to damage. Cheap Laptop Batteries can be Dangerous.IMO, Toshibas are good machines. I still have my original with Windows 95 on it! I own several models and have found, with the proper maintenance, that they'll last well past 10 years. (Believe it or not, I've found that Dells and Acers are the next best performers among abusive users. LOL.) Every manufacturer has weaknesses: none are perfect. Don't expect to not have issues with electronics because you'll always end up disappointed. Heat, dust and mishandling are the three biggest killers.

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.So…. The system must store the BIOS settings in another form of memory that does not need constant power ;) Flash memory perhaps? 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. 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:
