Trouble with Satellite P205D-S7454

I am having trouble installing a OS or the recovery discs on Satellite P205D-S7454. When I am installing the OS it hangs 10 or 15 mins into the installation of any OS (Windows 7, Vista, Ubuntu Linux). I have removed the battery and tried installing while plugged in, no luck. I have also tried different memory modules, no luck. I have tried a different HDD, no luck. I have updated the BIOS to version 1.70 and had no luck installing an OS. I have also ran the laptop through memory and CPU test and the system come back good. Any ideas on what could be the problem with the laptop? I am thinking right it has to do with something on the system board. Thanks.

I have the same exact problem, does anyone out there have any idea on how to resolve this problem?

Satellite P205d-S7454 randomly shuts down

Hello,
I have a Toshiba Satellite P205d-S7454 laptop computer, and love it.
It has worked fine for the past ten months or so with no problems whatsoever.
However, yesterday while playing a videogame I've played on my computer many many times before, my computer just shut-off, no shutdown screen, it just turned off as if a power switch had been hit.
I turned it back on, it started to load windows, but then shut down again, I turned it on a third time, but nothing appeared on the screen, so I held the power button to turn it off.
After waiting a minute or so, I turned it back on, loaded up windows, and loaded my game up again, and after about ten minutes, it shut down again.
This is really frustrating, and I don't believe it should be happening.
If anyone can offer any help/advice, I would *really* appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!

Hello
I agree with Ross. It sounds like overheating issue. It is typical behavior when notebook hardware comes to critical temperature level. To avoid hardware damage notebook switches off without any warning.
When you use your notebook be sure the notebook cooling fans are not blocked and the notebook can be cooled properly. If you use your notebook intensively and for log time maybe is time for cleaning. You cannot imagine how many dust come inside of notebook.

Trouble with Satellite A205-SP5814

I'm having some trouble with my laptop, it's a Satellite SP-5814, and it freezes sometimes. I installed the factory software from the CD's, and the problem didn't solved at all. Sometimes even can't load de OS, or crashes trying. I'll appreciate any answer or solution to this problem, because the Toshiba Certified Technical Support from my country (Costa Rica) couldn't solve the problem (they installed the factory software). I don't know why my computer doesn't appear on the supported one's list, because I can't even update the BIOS.

By installing factory software, do you mean that they did a complete recovery to factory settings, erasing your data rfom the computer and returning it to out-of-box conditions? If so, and if you're encountering problems immediately after doing so, I'd recommend getting the notebook serviced.

Speaker trouble with Satellite L750

Hello!
I've been having some issues with my internal speakers on my Toshiba L750 Satellite laptop. I just got the laptop a couple months ago and so far, everything seems to be ok.... except for the speakers.
So if I leave the laptop and put it on "sleep" or "hibernate", when I come back to turn the laptop on, the sound from the speakers gets all fuzzy and starts to lag.... I end up having to restart the laptop just to get the speakers back to normal.
It doesn't matter how long I leave the laptop dormant for - it could be 6 hours or 1/2 an hour - virtually every single time, I end up having to restart the laptop to fix the problem.
It's not that I have some big issue with restarting - I mean, if that's the way to fix it, that's totally fine! It just gets kind of annoying after a while and I don't want there to be some big underlying problem that could lead to other parts of the laptop getting messed up, that I'm just ignoring.
By no means am I a computer expert, but everything I checked in the control panel and in the speakers info suggests that the speakers are working fine.
I don't get why this happens almost every time. In regards to the sound being fuzzy and lagging, it's either the sound of the songs I listen to on WMP, or anything I'm watching online, or sometimes even both.
Anybody have any ideas or suggestions on what the problem could be and what I could do?
Any help would be much appreciated.
? Thanks!!

Hi Pedro and MisterX! Thanks so much for your responses.
Pedro: Yes, I'm using the original OS in my laptop. I wasn't sure if this was a common problem or not, so if you suggest that I contact Toshiba, then that seems like the best thing to do.
MisterX: Thanks for that link, it was very helpful! That does seem to be my issue... "stuttering" is probably the best way to describe the sound problems. It seems like this could help. If I download this, do you know if it would cause any kind of huge change to my hard drive, or will it just be like a regular download? All that red writing about "downloading at your own risk" in that link you gave kinda threw me off guard haha.
I will take both of your recommendations into consideration - I'll look more into the iRST, call Toshiba and see what they say, and I'll ask them about this iRST update. If/when my problem gets resolved, I'll come back and post the solution on the board, just in case other people may have this problem in the future.
Thanks to both of you again!! I appreciate your help ?

RFC trouble with satellite systems

Hi all.
When i imort transport request from Charm - DEV to QAS system or QAS to PRD system
Logon screen appers to 000 clientst.
BUT!
in SMSY when i check RFC to the QAS 000 and PRD 000.
Check says all okey and green.
Any ideas?? where should i check more ....
Thanks
Sindry

Hi Sindry,
To allow import into a system using an automatic job via ChaRM you must assign additional authorisations to TMSADM on the satellite system. This trusted user must be granted authorisations to carry out the CTS import in client 000, otherwise it will prompt user for a 000 login. This is not recommended for Production system however.
To enable user to use the trusted RFC connection, must have access to S_RFCACL authorisation object.
Hope this helps

Overall Trouble With Satellite C55 B5299

Hi Guys.....
My wife has a Sat, Laptop C55 B5299. We have had constant trouble. Now I understand that she only has 2 gb
of RAM...(which, if you figure the video card takes 1/2 gig....only 1 1/2 gb)....Could this be the only reason why there is so much trouble? Thanks, in advance. Carl

While 2GB RAM is low for modern standards, it shouldn't be a major problem for regular use. Windows is very efficient at managing its memory. The impact of graphics use of memory varies based on how much you have and what you use it for. That number is just the maximum and isn't reserved (not on newer machines). I'd check what software you have running. For instance, I used to use AVG Antivirus on all of my computers. As it turns out, AVG is VERY resource intensive, so I switched to Avast instead. Try doing a bit of research. Open the Task Manager and go to the "Details" tab to see specifically what's using CPU or memory and look up any questionable applications.

Trouble with Satellite A215-S4757 - websites have been not responding and hanging

I've run computer virus scans, and diagnostic programs and the only thing that comes up is that the intel 82852/82855 gm/gme graphics controller is not working properly. I've updated it in device manager and it says it is up to date. Don't even know if this is the problem. The only code it gives is a code 10. Any help would be appreciated
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Happy to learn all is well, Brian. Thanks for letting us know.

Satellite P205D-S7454

My laptop keep's shutting down for no reason updated BIO'S no help.
Help me please

Gshannon-initial impression is OVERHEATING. Immediate shutdown could a result of either a hardware/software failure. Ensure the area around fan and exhaust are cleaned. Since you did a BIOS upgrade did you allow the unit to self pace itself into reboot action or did you shut off prior? Could also be an incomplete BIOS installation. After reviewing ,there was no value to installaing that 2008 version 1.40 update. Locate the Recovery Disc please.

Satellite L755-16J - Trouble with sound card

I currently own a Toshiba *Satellite L755-16J* and it is having some sort of trouble with the sound card, i think.
When i bought it, it came with windows 7, i changed the windows to windows 8 and since then the audio has been troubling me.
The internal speakers work for a minute or two when i play an audio file but then stop working.
i had been using an external usb soundcard and external speakers for some time but decided to switchback to windows 7 for the sound to work properly again. even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
I am quite sure that the problem is not in the internal speakers because they do work, although just for a brief moment but they work, so i am guessing the problem is in the software instead of the hardware.
i tried updating the sound drivers but they seem to be up to date, according to windows the drivers "seem to be working properly"
Can anyone help?

> even though i have switched back to win 7, the sound still doesnt work.
How did you do that?
Did you use the Toshiba Recovery Disk in order to install Win 7 or did you install the Win 7 using fresh and clean Windows 7 disk?
The notebook supports Conexant sound chip. The sound driver is available on the Toshiba EU driver page and in case the sound chip is already recognized in device manager after the sound driver installation, I assume the driver has been installed properly.
In such case I would recommend you to connect the headphones.
In case the headphones would function properly, the speakers might be affected. I mean the hardware. But of course its only an idea.
Beside the headphone check, you could check also the settings within the control panel -> sound -> playback tab.
Usually the speakers should be set as default device.
Check this option too.

Satellite 5100/201: trouble with video card or overheat?

Hy,
I'm experiencing trouble with video on a Satellite 5100/201. It seems that when I press on the left side above the graphics card or press a key on the keyboard on that side, the screen starts to be scrambled and vertical lines appear. At the end windows XP resets giving a critical error on the device and the video passes to 640x480. Same thing occurs when running Linux Suse 9.0.
My doubt is what is the cause: the graphics card corrupted or overheating due to the fan not as efficient as originally (my laptop is almost two years old. Did someone succed in finding the cause and resolved the problem, also with the Toshiba assistance?
Any help welcome.

Hi,
I don't think so that Toshiba has problems with the design. You are talking about two different models with two different hardware and for different user profiles!
The 1900 is a Desktop replacement notebook with "desktop" components like processors and the Satellite 5000 is a Multimedia notebook!
Hint: If you had not done it yet, perhaps you could install the graphic card driver once again. If this don't helps, it is the best way to recover the notebook with the Toshiba CD. (this set the notebook to software default settings and the notebook should be work)

Trouble with Benq DC C 700 digital camera on Satellite L30 105

Hello
I'm having trouble with my digital camera when I connect it to my laptop. Every time I connect the camera the laptop freezes and gives me the blue screen of death, that is, the screen you get when a fatal error occurs, and then my laptop has to be rebooted. So this happens each and every time I connect the two.
I've tried updating the bios and installing the latest drives but nothing seemed to work. I've contacted the support center at Benq and they told me to contact Toshiba as they are pretty sure the problem is not with the camera. So please anyone, if you have any ideas and or suggestions/solutions I'll be glad to hear them out.
Thanks!

Hi
First of all if you need the Toshiba support you have to contact the Toshiba authorized service partner in your country. This forum here is only a user-to-user forum and you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
Secondly;
It seems the Satellite L30-105 was delivered with Vista. Do you use this OS on the L30?
I have read about many issues with the 3rd party devices, software and Windows Vista.
I dont know what the guys told you but possibly the webcam software is not 100% compatible with Vista.
You should know that the BSOD appears if there is a serious software or hardware problem. I dont think that this issue was caused by a hardware problem and therefore there is only one possibility; software compatibility issue.
In you case I would update the Vista to the latest state and would ask the webcam manufacture if its 100% compatible with Vista.
Good luck

Trouble with HD videos on Satellite M70

HI,
I recently bought a M70-208. It seems that I experience trouble with HD video both with VLC and WMP. For example, while playing the demo video of "HDtoGo", the flow is very slow. Other non Toshiba notebook that I'm using for my job is playing this video smoothly, despite its lower configuration.
I tried different combination of Energy management, but it still the same. I can't understand what's going on.
Apart from that, this notebook makes me happy (6900 point at 3D mark05).
Thanks for helping me.

Hi
Maybe is my English not so good but what you mean under flow? Is there any kind of bucking while video plays?
Maybe some application in background occupied the CPU and because of that the video doesnt run well. Try to check it.
Anyway, as you said this unit has very good value on graphic test. Friend of mine has M70-257.
Bye

Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.

Toshiba Satellite P205 S7454

I bought a Tosh P205 S7454 about 18 months ago.
It works really well, except that periodically - maybe twice a week - the screen goes grey and it hangs. I have to restart it and it reboots.
I have two questions - does anyone know why this model isn't listed on the Toshiba website, and has anyone else experienced this problem?
I've seen some posts on other forums with people referring to something similar, and some people reckon it's a BIOS issue - my BIOS is version 1.00.
Should I update the BIOS, and how do I do it my PC doesn't exist according to Toshiba?

Your MODEL IS ACTUALLY P205D-S7454. That concern is RESOLVED!
Bios update could resolve, but not necessarily, to many issues can be incurred. Have you done a video card driver udate reently? Or, you could deinstall the display device and reboot, let new hardware wizard reinstall device. When the error occurs do you check the Device Manager for any errors identified? Is there external usb devices istalled, remove and learn what occurs about this concern.

Power supply is missing for Satellite P205D-S7474 but have a question...

... I have other Power Supplies that can give the right voltage but after trying to find a photo of the original P/S to check the voltage polarity and plug by diferent means I've failed in doing so. That's the reason for asking here for help. Any site link with the correct info or photo generated and posted here by any user will do. Thanks in advance for any help with this issue. PS. A few times tried to specify the model and/or serial # for the laptop at the Toshiba site but always got a message stating that there was an error in the supplied info. ???

Satellite P205D-S7479 - close enough
The spec calls for PA3290U-3ACA. I think the picture shows center to be +.
