Equium A110-276 DVD image and sound playback problems

A couple of months ago my Equium A110-276 stopped playing DVDs correctly.
The sound and images on the DVDs are slow, sometimes skip and are generally out of sync.
I downloaded the latest drivers however it didnt make any difference. If i stream a video from youtube for example the picture and sound are both fine.
Anyone think of anything I can do to fix it?!
Thanks

Hi
If the video stream looks ok then everything seems to be ok with the graphic card.
I think either there is something wrong with the CD/DVD driver or with the software itself.
I have investigated a little bit in this forum and found this thread regarding a very similar issue:

Equium A110-276: Cannot install virtual sound for Windows Vista

When i'm on xp, i got a toshiba virtual sound. when i've installed vista, i can't install the toshiba virtual sound. it says "virtual sound doesn't support your computer". anyone know why? the toshiba virtual sound i'm installing came from toshiba value added package for vista.

I have downloaded the value added package but there is no virtual sound.
If the Toshiba value added package does not include the virtual sound then there is no much to do
By the way: did you select the right unit? Your notebook should is a part of the PSAB2E series.
Be sure you have downloaded the software for the right notebook

Equium A110-276 BIOS update for 32-bit Windows 7

Hello all, I'd like to update the BIOS on my Equium A110-276 and the two choices are 'OS Independent' and 'Windows Vista 32 Bit'. I have Windows 7 32-bit on this laptop. If I choose 'OS Independent' it warns me 'This Bios is NOT compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!' and if I choose 'Windows Vista 32 Bit' it reads 'This Bios is only compatible for Notebooks with Windows Vista!!!'
The exclamation marks are from Toshiba, not me ;)
So am I stuffed and need to stay with my current BIOS, or can I use the Windows Vista BIOS update?
Thanks to all who can help!

Hi Paolo30
I've been having some problems with the fan, and before I bring it in for repair I wanted to try all options. It appears to be seated/connected fine, the area around it is clean, I've done all of the fan-related troubleshooting I can except the last option which is to re-flash the BIOS which a number of people have had success with (with regards to the fan).
The original OS is Windows XP so I'd have to recover it back to XP and then re-update to Windows 7 and I'd rather have surgery than do that again! If it's not in the cards then it's a trip to the repair shop, I reckon. Thanks for responding!

Equium A110-276 - why Shared Graphics Memory is not set to max 128 MB?

I have an Equium A110-276 and the maximum memory of the graphics is 128MB...
Now, when I bought this notebook, it says that the graphics memory is 128MB which is correct.
So I can play high graphics games and applications.
After 9 months, the shared memory for the graphics became 64MB! What the?!
Now when I play and use the applications which need 128MB, they're notifying me that my graphics memory is 64MB which is low and the applications may become slow.
Anyone had this problem?
I tried contacting Toshiba and they said that I need to put more RAM, I tried to call 4 times and they always say the same thing... but I already have 1024MB of RAM which is enough... My problem is why the motherboard or the BIOS is not sharing up to 128MB of RAM for the graphics...

Hi
The Equium A110-276 supports a Intel 945GM graphic chip!!!!
The Intel graphic cards assign the shared memory automatically!!! The graphic driver controls the memory and you cannot set the amount manually!!!
If the application needs more graphic memory then the driver will assign and share the memory automatically!
Dont worry, everything looks ok!

Equium A110-276: Do I need to update BIOS when Vista was installed?

I do know where to post this...
"I have clean installation of Windows Vista on my Equium A110-276. Do I need to update the BIOS or not? Does Updating BIOS Compulsory/mandatory?

Hi
It seems Toshiba has published a special version of BIOS for Windows Vista.
If you want you can check it on the Toshiba driver page.
But if your Vista runs correctly on the notebook with previous BIOS version you dont need to update the BIOS.
I would recommend updating the BIOS if any strange operational behavior will appear.

Optimization on Load Time (Large Images and Sounds)

Hi,
I have an all flash website that works by having each portion of it to load and unload in the center of a frame based off the navigation chosen. Load times on everything but one part of my site are ok.
The dimensions of the part inside the frame are 968x674. I know that's relatively large for a flash file, but that can't be changed at this point.
Within the page there are objects that come up when you find an item on the screen. Its a dialog box and it shows text, an image, and has a voice over that reads what the text says. After you're done looking at it, there is an x-button to dismiss the window. There are 15 of these and they are exported to the actionscript. I add them in the actionscript via addChild. I figured this is a huge spot that could be reconfigured, but I'm not sure if it would make much a difference.
The other huge thing is there is a ton on the screen. It starts you off in an environment, and when you click 3 different sections, it zooms into that portion allowing you to look for the items you're trying to find.
There is also a man that talks and animates in the beginning and at the end. We are planning on taking out the end part and putting a text box up.
Here is the website.. its a propane safety site for kids. I know its kind of a weird idea, but it works and people seem to like it.
www.propanekids.com
The two parts of the site we are trying to optimize is the main menu when you first are at the site, and the "Explore" section. (Just click on the cloud on the front page.
If someone could take the time to give me some new ideas of how I can get these loading times down, I would greatly appreciate it!
Thanks

Internal Speakers not working on Equium A110-276

Hi
I bought this Equium A110-276 a few months ago. I understand that connecting external speakers disables the internal speakers automatically. I have been using external speakers for quite some time, but now when I disconnect them the internal speakers are not working anymore.
Any ideas what I should do to get my internal speakers working again?
Many thanks.

Hi,
usually the socket where you connect your external speakers uses a sprung metal contact to disconnect the built in speakers when the plug is pushed in. Removal of the plug from the external speakers should then allow the sprung contact to return to its normal position which will return power to the built in speakers.
It is possible that the plug from the external speakers has bent the sprung contact so that it no longer completes the circuit for the built in speakers. You will need to dismantle you nnotebook to get access to the socket to check.
You could ask your local authorised service partner to check for you so that you don't invalidate your warranty.
regards,

Qosmio G50-10I - No synchronization on TV between image and sound

My problem is that there is no synchronization between image and sound (+the sound is late about 5 seconds+)
when i watch TV on Windows Media Center on Qosmio G50-10I
I tried to change the settings on Windows Media Center but some will be escape.

How did you connect this TV to the G50?
Do you use the HDMI cable which provides the audio and video signal together at the same time or did you connect the TV with two different cables (for audio signal & video signal)?
Please check additionally the settings in Realtek HD audio manager which can be found in the control panel. There you can change some sound effects for different audio outputs (HDMI, digital, speakers)
PS: Last but not least install some codecs. I recommend a package called K-Lite Mega codec package

Equium A110 - DVD picture and sound appear to choppy & scratchy

Hey guys, for the last couple of days when i insert a dvd/cd into my laptop and try to play it, the picture and sound both appear to choppy and scratchy. also when i try to copy and burn a dvd, it takes an eternity(2-3 hrs) whereas before it barely took 15 minutes.
Is there any way to correct such a problem?
And another question, I may want to try and restore the laptop to its "factory settings".
Anyone know how to do it?
Regards m1lz

> I may want to try and restore the laptop to its "factory settings". Anyone knows how to do it?
If you want to set the notebook to factory settings you have to recover the OS from the delivered Toshiba Recovery CD!!!! But be careful, the recovery procedure erases the whole HDD. Create a backup before start the installation from the recovery CD
Now something about the sound and video issue:
Maybe the ODD malfunctions, this is not impossible but improbably.
You notebook supports acoustic silencer application try to remove it.
But after recovery installation everything should run correctly... hopefully ;)

Pav. dv3888nr horizontal line on DVD image and other glitchy things

Whenever I play DVDs I have problems. Lately, its been a horizontal line or split across the DVD image. I also get all kinds of burps and hiccups, and picture separation from sound that is usually solved by tapping in the mousepad. (Weird!) This gizmo is still under warranty but I'm out of the country for a few more weeks.

Yes, Apple is working on it. The information I gathered from AppleCare is that there is a "capture" procedure in US for those who don't like the lines on their machine.
At this time, as there is not such a procedure in Europ, my decision is to return mine. The only way to return your PB is to call the AppleStore from which you bought it and ask them for a refund (if you are within the 7 or 14 days depending on the Country you bought it from) or an exchange .
Applecare will only accept a repair, by the local Apple Certified center, but AppleCare is country specific which means that an applecare bought in Europ will not work elsewhere. Personnally, I declined the repair, because we all know that the defect has not been identified yet by Apple US, so that you can imagine what the local repair center could do !!!
PS : I just identified the EXACT same line issue at my working place on a Sony LCD screen connected to a G5 DP 2Ghz. Strangely enough, the LCD has also colour set up problems. Moreover the same configuration at home (same SONY screen, G5 DP 1,8 Ghz) has no lining problem. This is the definitive proof to me that every lined screen are defective, even if hundred of them have been recently released.

Unstable video image and sound

Basically, I use the ichat mainly with one particular buddy(most of my friends are not using Mac) and I have my iMac of 10 months and it has been working fine but I jus moved last week and I have encountering problems. The connection on my side is fine, I can hear and see my buddy as before but on his end, the image and the voice are not stable, he can hear about 70% or less of what I say and the image is not stable either. We had a few ichat session after my relocation but not all sessions were bad. It is strange that I have no problem from my end and I do not understand why he has problem...but since he has problems(I can tell from his expressions that he cannot hear me sometimes), it is difficult to hold a conversation. Help, anyone?

Hi Helen,
Posting some Location info here can help.
If the problem exists after trying Defcom's suggestions can you tell us what his App is and what OS level he is on ?
If he is on XP at Service Pack 2 and is using AIM 5.9 there are some tweaks we (you and him) could try.

NGTX560 Single Fan Edition, freezing and sound stuttering problems

I've recently just built a new computer,
CPU- i5 2500k,
Motherboard- Gigabyte Z68M-D2H,
Ram- G.Skill Ripjaws 1600mhz 8gb(4X2kit),
PSU- Coolermaster Extreme plus 700W 52A single rail,
GPU- NGTX560 single fan edition, no overclocks whatsoever on anything.
Storage- Seagate 500gb HDD 7200Rpm Sata
OS- Windows 7 64Bit edition.
Display- Monitor is a LG IPS235, 23.5', if it even matters
When I try to play games it starts to lag, and freeze while causing sound stuttering and then completely freezes the whole computer forcing me to reboot the system. Using the 285.62 drivers.
Games for example include Starcraft 2, which when I open used to freeze straight on the loading screen forcing an immediate reboot. I allowed it through my firewall and now I get past the loading screen and can log in, but straight after I log in, sound stuttering occurs and then the whole computer freezes forcing me to reboot. Another game as an example is Killing Floor, I never got past the "Tripwire interactive" loading screen, looked on google for some fixes, after modifying some .ini files for Killing Floor I was able to get into the menu's, went to options and clicked on display to change some of the graphics settings, extreme rips in the image occured, sound stuttering and frozen on the spot. Retried again but this time didn't touch any settings at all, joined a match, the game loaded but as soon as I entered it froze forcing me to reboot. Need help please thanks
Edit: just tried Starcraft 2, made a custom match vs a bot, got into the game for 20 seconds, started mining minerals then it froze again, this time I can hear the audio still playing perfectly while the image is frozen, mouse can move around, keyboard still works. rebooted after observing these features

Sorry but i have no other video card to test if my system is stable
I haven't tried msi's drivers yet will get to doing that now
I have tried to reinstall SC2 using both the disc provided, and downloading the client from the internet
Ill get back to you with the exact video card model

Thumbnail images, bigger images and some text PROBLEM

Unclear title, with an unclear problem.
What I'm wanting to do is, when I click on a thumbnail image, I want the content in the DIV on the right to change accordingly to display the image and information relating to the thumbnail you have just clicked. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on MAC:
- I have a page split into 2 vertical columns. On the left I have 6 thumbnail images in their individual DIVs, wrapped all together in another DIV container
- on the right of the page I have assigned a large DIV to display a big image with a description underneath of what the project was etc...
I know you can attach a behaviour to the thumbnail to change the big image on the right, but I have a short paragraph of text below the big image too, and I don't particularly want to make the image and text one huge image. I want to keep the text, text.
How do I do it? Is this a simple thing? or is there a lot of coding to do this with JQuery or Javascript or something? Is there something to do with Data record sets involved?
Is there a way of doing it that when you click on the thumbnail that it can load the relevant image and text into the DIV on the right?
Sorry if it's not clearly explained, not sure how to do it, therefore not sure if I'm describing it properly.
As always, all help and advice very welcome.

Hi Murray,
Here is a screenshot of the page in question.
- On the left are the thumbBox DIVS, (shown here, "thumbBox1")
- On the right there is a main container, "galleryDisplay"
- Within "galleryDisplay" there is a DIV for the large image, "galleryDisplayImage", and another DIV to display a paragraph of information on the project, "galleryDisplayInfo".
Just to repeat, I want that when you click on the "thumbBox1", that the content of "galleryDisplayImage" and "galleryDisplayInfo" change in accordance to the thumbnail clicked.
Murray *ACP* wrote:
The easy way to do this is to have each click on the thumbnail change the display Property of a container (containing both the image and the caption) from "none" to "block". In the column on the right, just line up a series of divs, each containing the desired image+caption, and use DW's Chage Property behavior on a null link surrounding the thumbnail. For example, a thumbnail image:
<a href="#" onClick="MM_changeProp('image-caption1','','display','block','DIV'); return false"><img src="path_to_thumb.jpg" width="165" height="50"></a>
Each click on a thumb would also have to change the display Property of all other image-caption containers to "none".
I don't understand what I have to do with the relevant large image and text. You say to "line up a series of divs"... I don't understand. Where do I "store" the image and text combinations for each project? I can understand how an image can be loaded into the image div, but how and from where do I load in the html text with css applied into the info div?
Can I change the content of 2 separate divs from one click?
Sorry for not being overly clear, but I can't get my head round this.
Thanks for your help. I'm sure I'll get there in the end with your expertise.

Equium A100-147 - System slow and sound distorted

Hi, Help needed.
I have the Equium A100-147, been working fine for a couple of year but in the last few weeks has ground practically to a halt, takes between 5-10 mins to startup and when starting and once started the sound is as if the memory is running slow (like distorted) this even at sign in when the windows tune plays.
Laptop has 2.5GB memory so should be plenty and 18GB free s not running low. Running XP SP2 MCE. Had zone alarm running, thinking this could be the problem have now switched to AVG, but still the same.
CPU in use when system idle, i.e. just started with no applications running fluctuates bbetween 25 and 55%
Any ideas on what it could be before I rebuild
Thanks
Gaffar

Hi
I think this is a known problem of Windows that its getting slower after one year or two years ;)
I think you should try to defragment your HDD and to delete some programs that you dont need. Then clean your system using CCleaner.
Disable all programs in start up that you dont need.
Furthermore you should AntiVir. In my opinion its the best freeware antivirus program that you can have.
Last but not least you should try to update the sound driver. Check the Toshiba website for a newer version.

Video images and sound are out of sync

Hi, I'm new to videocasts so please forgive me. I have a few video podcasts that play fine in iTunes and in other iPods but audio and images become out of sync when I play it on my Nano. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What format were the original items ?
What frame rate are they in the original ?
What format are they on the AppleTV (H264 video AAC audio is the most common, but there are others) ?
What is the video frame rate now ?
Most out of syncs come from an imperfect attempt to encode for AppleTV. ie. DVD frame rate is 29.97fps. Many encode this to 30fps. So the movie plays 0.1% too fast, too little for you to notice, but at the end of a 100 minute film, the audio is 6 seconds out of sync with the video. Or 3 seconds on a 45 minute TV show.
Also check the source. I'd had DVDs (Alien Resurrection) jump 10 seconds out of sync in the middle of the movie. Back to the shop for that one.
