Computer dies when connecting Double Dragon All-in-One Driver

I connected a DVD drive with the Double Dragon All in One Driver, via it's USB cable, to my Toshiba Satellite T115 S1100. I have done this numerous times before and there has been no problem. On this occasion I moved the power cable from the DVD to the power socket on the unit and as I inserted it the computer hard drive clicked and the computer went dead. It is now as dead as 'a dodo' and I assuming that there has been a power surge through the USB cable. Does anyone have any thoughts or have I 'toasted' the motherboard or some other part of the computer? Many thanks Peter
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I contacted Toshiba, who were very helpful but were unable to suggest a solution, without seeing the machine.
However, I took the battery out, whilst I was working on another laptop. When I returned and placed the battery back in, lo and behold, it came on and seems to be unaffected by whatever happened. So many thanks to anyone who may have viewed this blog, but the issue is solved.  Peter

  • Trying to connect HP officejet all-in-one! assitant does not support router??

    I am trying to connect HPOfficejet 7410 All-in-One which is wirless enabled to my wireless netowork. Getting message," HP NETWORK ASSISTANT does not currently support the router that is connected to your system."  Does this mean that I cannot setup this printer with the router I have?  Or is there another way I can connect it without using the Network assistant?  The router I have is a Linksys Router Model # WRT110 . I have tried to find another router that was in the list of "supported routers" with no luck.  I have looked everywhere.  Please if someone could help! Let me know if you need more info to answer my question. Thanks!

    Actually, its not that the youre router is not ocompatible with the HP Network Assistant. Maybe yuore router has a very secure network security thats why the wireless assistant could not connect the printer to youre router
    - The other way to connect the printer to your wireless network is to run the wireless setup wizard on the printer.
    - Step 1. Press the set up button on the printer and press the right arrow then navigate & look for netwok menu then press ok.
    - Step 2. press the right arrow and look for wireless setup wizard
    - it will look for youre wireless router and try to select your router the enter the security key(WEP or WPA) if you have one.
    - after that it will prompt you that the printer is connected to your network

  • IPod Classic not recognized by iTunes, claims to be wiped of all content, and causes computer problems when connected

    I have an 80 GB iPod Classic that has suddenly developed severe problems. I'm running iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit.
    It was working fine until last night, when I connected it to iTunes to add 6 songs. (Four of these were bought on Amazon.com and 2 ripped from CD's). It accepted the songs and played them fine when connected. When I clicked the icon in iTunes to eject the iPod, it came up with the "OK to Disconnect" and progress bar as usual. However, this time the progress bar didn't start to fill in. It just sat there.
    After several minutes the progress bar finally filled in and returned to the menu... but instead of displaying the cover flow on the right side as usual, it showed a gray box with "No Music."
    When I tried to re-connect it to my computer, iTunes would not recognize it. My computer also wouldn't recognize it at first... after several minutes, it came up as a generic removable device. Attempting to right-click on it or eject it from Windows was unsuccessful.
    The iPod itself displayed "Connected" and alternated the plug image with the spinning arrows. It never said "Synchronizing" as it usually does.
    Furthermore, my computer's performance degraded severely while the iPod was plugged in. iTunes itself froze, and even my other applications (such as my web browser) would not work correctly. This all cleared up as soon as I unplugged the iPod. If I tried to initialize iTunes while the iPod was plugged in, it would not open. It opened immediately when I unplugged the iPod.
    Finally, despite claiming to have no music or other contents (it had contained only my iTunes music library, which is about 26.5 GB), in Settings the iPod claimed to have only 5.3 GB of free space.
    Resetting the iPod with Select/Menu made no change. I was able to put it in diagnostic mode and check the hard drive, which gave these results:
    Retracts: 381
    Reallocs: 0
    Pending Sectors: 10
    PowerOn Hours: 417
    Smart/Stops: 381
    Temp: Current 24c
    Temp: Min 15c
    Temp: Max 48c
    When I put the iPod up to my ear I hear a steady, faint high-pitched sound and an occasional very faint crackling noise. When it shuts down the sound continues for a few seconds, then ends with a kind of squeaking sound.
    The iPod is more than 5 years old, so I'm prepared for the probability that it's fried. But I'd like to try everything before I go ahead and spring for a new one.

    The iPod's hard drive probably has data corruption.  That does not necessarily mean there is a hardware problem.  Hard drives, including the ones in computers, can develop data corruption.
    Try putting the iPod into Disk Mode
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1363
    If it goes into Disk Mode, run iTunes on the computer and connect the iPod.  To eliminate other potential issues, you should disconnect other USB devices (you can leave standard keyboard/mouse connected), and connect the iPod to a direct USB port on the computer.
    iTunes may prompt you to do a Restore, which you should do.  This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings.  If the problem was only data corruption, and there is no hardware problems, the iPod should have a "fresh start."  You can sync it from your iTunes library.
    If the iPod does not go into Disk Mode, or if doing a Restore fails, the iPod's hard drive may be faulty.

  • ITunes and Computer freeze when connecting 160GB iPod classic

    160 GB iPod Classic
    Model: MC293LL
    Version: 2.0.4 PC
    iTunes version: 11.1.3
    computers: 1 Win8 desktop,
                     1 Win7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1 Notebook
    since yesterday I started having trouble with my iPod. When connecting it to the Notebook it showed a message: "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it". After clicking on scan and trying to fix the problem the notebook froze, so I connected it to me desktop, and it worked, it said that the problem was fixed. But when trying to open the iTunes it froze and after disconnecting it I realised the music was gone. So I connected it again, the same "There's a problem with this device. Scan the drive now and fix it"-message showed, but at the end the computer said it didn't detect any problem with the drive, so I opened iTunes and restored the iPod, and it worked but after that iTunes froze, then Windows Explorer and then the whole computer. Tried to connect the iPod to the Win7 Notebook and the same thing happened, first iTunes froze and then the computer froze, they both didn't show the blue screen.
    What can I do? The iPod was already restored to the factory settings.

    i had the same problem. all i did was download the newest version of itunes, which i had been putting off for months because it takes so long. after i did this itunes worked fine for me
    hope this helps

  • Siri has lost volume when connected to internet. all else works perfectly even siri when off the internet

    Tech support said it is a beta system and no guarantee to get it fixed.  When I called the Apple store they were not aware that Siri is Beta.  Now I have to drive many miles with my new    Ipad to try to get it fixed. OR replaced.  They don't make it easy.  MyI phone took three vists and two replacement phones to have an operational system.  APPLE  will not even allow for any compensation for their problem.  NO "gifts" to make up for the miles and the time the problem causes you. I have bought Apple stock and now see it dropping and it will continue to drop if they do not change their customer service.  This is not the old Apple which I based my whole office on.  In the past year two purchases. I phone 4s and the new IPad .  Both with problems requiring my efforts, car travel, and time to try to get fixed.
    Does anyone have a solution to the loss of volume on the siri function that only occurs when connected to the internet?  All other functions have full volume Don

    If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
    Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

  • Wireless connection between computer and HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer.

    I just bought an HP Officejet 6600 e-All-in-One Printer - H711a.  I want to have a wireless connection between my computer and my printer in order to place the printer in a different room. The instructions say that I need to give the name of my wireless network. Do they mean that I need a wireless internet connection? I absolutely don't want to go wireless on the internet. How do I go about this?

  • Windows Vista Home Premium Computer Doesn't Connect to Airport Extreme's Hard Drive

    I have a hard drive connected to an Airport Extreme.  The hard drive is recognized by the Windows computer; that is a dialog box appears that states 'The Airport Disk became available'.  But when I attempt to supply a password it tells me "Could not connect to the disk.  Make sure netBIOS is enabled and try again (53)."
    The hard drive connected to the Airport Extreme is 500Gb and formatted as FAT32.  The hard drive has its own power source.  There are no spaces in the hard drive's name or in the Airpot Extreme's name.  I've assigned WORKGROUP as the workgroup on both the Airport Extreme and the Windows Vista comptuer.  I've enabled netBIOS for the TCP/IPv4 connection.
    The vista computer is connected to the Airport Extreme via an ethernet cable; the cable is connected to a LAN slot of the Airport Extreme.
    All help is appreciated.

    Sounds like you are on the right track but I will have to say that I am very sorry but I am out of ideas - you are getting way out of my experience level - and I have to apologize about my previous post - I spelled Tesserax name wrong - you need help from one of the high level participants - I answered your orignal post because I have had sharing issues with Vista and thought that I could help - having said all that, I just thought of a last resort suggestion - make sure that your hard drive works when connected directly to your computer and then reset your Extreme and start from scratch - if that doesn't work then you might just have an incompatible setup - also if you wait a while and reword your question with your new findings, maybe a more experienced participant will respond - good luck.

  • Macbook Air: connecting Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer

    I purchased my Macbook Air a few months ago, and I selected theCanon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to go along with it. I have tried to install the printer a few times in various ways. Initially, I used my Macbook Air superdrive to attempt to load my new printer with the included disk. However, installation requires that the printer be connected to the Macbook via USB. Since the superdrive was occupying my only USB, I tried to connect my printer wirelessly with another computer. The laptop I used was not a Mac, and I simply could not get his computer to recognize the disk for my Macbook. So I tried something else; I borrowed my school libraries USB splitter in a last attempt to connect them both to my Macbook Air at the same time. However the superdrive does not react when not directly connected to the computer...
    In short, I cannot find a way to connect my Canon Office All-In-One PIXMA MX330 printer to my Macbook Air.
    Help?

    Connect the SuperDrive to the computer, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to create an image of the installation disk, disconnect the SuperDrive, plug in the printer, and install the software from the image.

  • Airport Extreme connects to Epson all in one printer, scanner doesn't work

    I got a new Airport Extreme to connect my all-in-one printer, copier, scanner Epson CX8400. Connecting the printer feature to my MacBook Pro and my HP laptop was very easy, however can't get the scanning feature to work. Has anyone had this same issue? Do you know how to solve it other than plugging the USB cable directly to the computer? thanks!

    Hi Carlos9912,
    Does the Epson CX8400 support scanning over WiFi/Bonjour? I know my two HP Photosmart printers and my Epson I have do not support scanning over WiFi/Bonjour, despite the fact that they support printing functionality.

  • Scanning to Computer, HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless All in one Printer A909g

    I am unable to scan to computer with Win 8.1 using my HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless all in one Printer A909g.  I can scan to email.  The system says my drivers and software are up to date.  When trying to scan to computer all I get is a blank scan file with no scan number (Scan_Doc0054) as I used to with Vista.  In Vista I was able to drive the whole process from my computer.  When scanning to email now I have to drive it from my printer as opposed to the computer.
    I restarted an old computer running Vista and the 'scan to computer' function is operational.  As far as I am aware there are no other functional problems with the printer.
    Any help would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

    Hi John046,
    I am sorry to hear that did not work for you, I do have some more options for you to try:

    Clean boot the computer. How to perform a clean boot in Windows.
    Disable any antivirus programs. Windows Defender - Turn On or Off in Windows 8.
    Disable any firewalls. Disable firewall Windows 8.
    Re-install using the HP Printer Install Wizard for Windows.
