D drive on my Equium P200-178 has suddenly disappeared

I have an Equium P200-178 and for some reason my d drive has suddenly disappeared, I've tried downloading/updating the drivers only to be told that the driver I have is the most up to date version.
This is becoming very frustrating as it means I cant play cd's or dvd's on my laptop.
Anyone out there that can give me any advice?

Is drive disappeared in Windows Explorer?
What is the status in device manager?
Try please to solve it following advice on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ8101LA0000R01.htm

  • Equium P200-178: 17" lcd screen has gone funny colours

    My 17" screen on my equium p200-178 has gone funny colours as if when looking at any pictures there is far to much saturation on the screen.
    I have plugged in an external monitor and that screen works fine.
    So i am going th have to change the screen.
    I need to know is do any of the other 17" laptops or notebooks use the same 17.1" WXGA lcd glossy screen that is ccfl with one back light, if so which models? and does any one know what the part number(s) are...
    Thanks

    Thank you very much PauPau for your brilliant reply. I have a very good friend who is more than competant to perform the work it was just a case of the fact that after an extensive trawl of the net i have found the 17.1 " screens for most of the other models in the 17" of satalite range and even the 17.3" for the satalite L550 at one stockist at sensible prices but they just dont list them for the Equium P200, where as most other stockists had listings for all the ranges of what seemed to be the same screens. Cheers very much.

  • Equium P200-178 - backlight on the display has failed

    A friend of mine has an Equium P200-178 and the backlight on the display has failed.
    Unfortunately, the machine is three weeks out of its warranty and we are very, very far from a Service Depot.
    Googling the problem indicates that the inverter may have failed but how do you get to it?
    I have removed every screw that I can see on the case but it still won't come apart. I don't want to risk breaking it.
    Any help very gratefully received!
    Cheers.

    Hi
    The FL inverter is a small part which controls the screens backlighting and its placed near the TFT screen.
    Usually its not advisable to disassemble such hi-tech notebooks because such procedure is tricky and you could damage other parts.
    However, it seems you are already on the task and the notebooks covers are already removed.
    Well, I googled a little bit and found this page:
    [Taking apart Toshiba Satellite P205 display panel and removing LCD screen and inverter.|http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-p205/take-apart-display-panel-1.htm]
    Its about P205 but its very similar to the P200 notebook model.
    But note; everything what you do is your own risk!!!!

  • Re: Equium P200-178 - What CPU for an upgrade?

    Hi
    I have Equium P200-178 Part Number PSPB2E-001002AV at the moment with Intel Pentium Dual-Core Processor T2080 1.73 GHz 533 MHz, Id like to upgrade it but which one I can safely go with?
    I believe im after the same socket as this one is Socket M but what speed can I go with i dont want to overheat it cause ill be using the same cooling system.

    Hey,
    It has nothing to do with warranty Even if your notebook is out of warranty Toshiba doesnt support such an upgrade. You can upgrade the CPU of course but *everything happens on your own risk*!!!
    Equium P200-178 belongs to PSPB2E series and according the specifications of other PSPB2E models they were delivered with the Intel Pentium T2080 CPU only so I doubt another CPU would work
    Anyway, maybe you can find another P200 owner here that has already upgraded the CPU ;)

  • Non purchased itunes music has suddenly disappeared

    All of the music in my itunes on my pc has suddenly disappeared, with the exception of the (small) amount of music that I have downloaded from the itunes store. I am assuming that the files are still on my pc hard drive somehwere but that itunes for some reason is no longer locating them. Any suggestions anybody?! Thanks.

    I am having the same problem, upgrade of computer from Dell 754 to Dell 900, XP to 7 so because I do not have an external harddrive, have synced my iPod touch to my new iTunes on new computer. Now my delimma is how do I get the 'purchased' iTunes list to my music library. This is 700+ songs not seen in my music library.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer. When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist

    My iPhoto library has suddenly disappeared from my computer.
    When i click on iPhoto it tells me to choose my library or create a new one. However no library option appears. I have searched the computer for the library but it does not seem to exist anymore. I did not have time machine set up, so there is no back up. Is there any way i can retrieve my library?
    Here is a picture of what appears when i click on iPhoto:

    In terms of searching i have searched for photos on my finder. However, none of the photos that appear are from my iPhoto Library.
    Search with FindAnyFile. You can download it here:   http://apps.tempel.org/FindAnyFile/index.php
    Search for any file with "ThumbJPGSegment" in the name. If you added at least one image to your library, the library should contain a file with this name, see OldToad's post: Re: Since I updated to iPhoto 9.5.1, my library is not listed or available. How can I find it? Can I use the time machine to restore it?

    If you went to Full screen mode then it's hidden at the top.  Move your cursor to the top of the screen and it will appear.  You can click the arrows on the very right to exit full screen mode.

  • Two issues with Equium P200-178

    Hi All,
    I have owned my faithful *P200-178* (PSPB2E-001002AV) for a few years now without any issues until recently. It has windows vista home premium installed.
    Firstly the built in wireless (PA3613U-1MPC) has stopped working after a "friend" dropped it! The switch does operate ok but the light no longer works. I have reinstalled the driver and it has not made a difference. When installing the software a message was displayed saying that the wireless adaptor was not installed. I have even tried a wireless adaptor from the same model and this also doesn't work. What is strange is when you use config free it knows that the switch is either on or off but can't find the adaptor. The device manager also can't find it.
    Secondly after my Kids downloaded an image for their school homework the laptop had a nervous breakdown! I have all the latest antivirus software and check the system on a regular basis. The image has been printed off and has now been deleted. I used to turn the laptop on and off with the power switch and not via the windows shut down facility. This doesn't work any more. After lifting the lid, pressing the power button nothing happens. However by pressing the "music icon in a box with 6 sparks coming from it" (sorry for the pathetic description) the laptop switches on. Windows Vitsa is displayed and all initially appears to be ok. During boot up a message saying:
    Checking file system on \\?volume {ef*****-long serial number not shown in case its unique-806*********}
    The type of file system is NTFS.
    volume label is winRE.
    One of the disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
    may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
    that you continue
    Windows will now check the disk.
    CHKDSK is verifying files (etc,etc,etc)
    File segment 24,25,26 and 27 are unreadable, are repaired (I think as the info is too quick to read) and eventually boots up. The laptop also restarts itself now.
    WHAT CAN I DO IF ANYTHING TO FIX THESE PROBLEMS / ISSUES?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello
    In my opinion in first case there must be some physical damage and I don't believe there is something you can do to fix it. I presume notebook must be disassembled and WLAN port/switch must be checked by technicians.
    About second issue I cannot say much but in my opinion you should backup all your important data and install OS again using delivered recovery media. With Clean preinstalled OS you can test WLAN functionality again and also power button functionality.
    I know it is most radical method but doing this you will be able to test notebook functionality with factory state and without some strange files or entries in preinstalled OS.
    What do you think about all this?

  • Does HDD Recovery format all the HDD on Equium P200-178

    Hi,
    i need to reinstall Vista on my laptop.
    The question is: Does the partition recovery option wipes all the data partitions?
    Both with os and the other one with data?
    Ive been trying to find it out on forum.
    Some says that the cd recovery cleans all of the partitions but HDD recovery has the option to format only C partition

    Hi
    Well, as far as I know the HDD recovery procedure is the same procedure like the usage of the Recovery DVD.
    In both cases the notebook will be set to the factory settings which means that you will get the same data on the HDD like at the first day of purchase
    So it should format the HDD and should restore is again using the Toshiba image.
    But if you want to know if the second partition will be erased and then created again then store a small file on the second partition and then perform the HDD recovery procedure.
    After the OS installation has finished go to the second partition and check if the same file still persist on the second partition.

  • Equium P200-178 - Line in port usage with record deck

    Can anyone tell me if I could plug a record deck into the mic socket on the front to rip vinyl to CD?
    Cant find a line in socket!
    Thanks Roy

    Hi,
    maybe you should try it, since no one maybe did it before (or maybe yes) :) and I dont think that you would damage something.
    Would be then great if you can share your experience with us regarding mic-in and the deck :)

  • My Firefox 2 (used with Mac OSX 10.2.1) has suddenly disappeared altogether. Can I get a replacement?

    The Firefox icon has become an alias with no original. I have no idea how

    Thank you, but I'm still in trouble. Firefox 2.0 won't open for me.
    It appeared to download it successfully, but trying to open it causes my computer to freeze.
    Am I doing something wrong, perhaps?

  • Yahoo mail has suddenly disappeared from my iPhone 5 inbox

    I've had Yahoo email on my AT&t iPhone 5 for a year. Yesterday, with no action on my part, and no changes to the settings on my iPhone, all my Yahoo emails disappeared from my iPhone inbox, and no new emails sent to my Yahoo email address are appearing there. The Gmail inbox on my phone is fine. I can access my Yahoo mail on a browser, but not on in my iPhone inbox. I have reset network settings, deleted my Yahoo mail account, re-booted the iPhone, and re-added the Yahoo account. Nothing helps. I have no idea if the problem resides with Apple, Yahoo, or AT&T. Has anyone had the same problem? What can I do?

    Yahoo's servers are notoriously bad. Yahoo will have to fix the problem. It's not an Apple problem, or an AT&T problem (except for the fact that AT&T chose to contract their email service out to one of the worst providers on the planet).
    Try downloading and using the Yahoo mail app from the app store.
