Hdd shock indicator?

My son's HP Laptop was running very slowly, and finally started Blue Screening on him.
I checked the SMART status of the hard drive, and it passed, but the disk was failing the DST (Disk Self Test). So, I went out and bought a replacement (larger) 2/5" disk, and when I pulled his old one (a WD600BEVT), I noticed that on the circuit board side, on a black section of the case, there are 2 round plastic 'windows' that both show red in them. The replacement WD drive has on ly 1 window, and it's green.
I've been trying to find out if these 2 red windows are indicators that the disk has received a high G shock, but haven't been able to verify...does anyone here know if these windows are G-Shock indicators?
Steve
ps, it's running much faster now (and I'm sure more reliably too )
This question was solved.

Steve.
They are not G-Shock indicaters.
They are just round RED screw covers.

Satellite A500-14k - HDD LED indicator always blinking

Hi
First sorry for my bad english
I'm french and i recently bought a Toshiba Satellite A500-14k ( http://fr.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/product/Satellite-A500-14K/1072806 )
I've got a little problem with this notebook and i don't know if someone has a solution
The LED indicator of the HDD is constantly flashing (1 blink per second) even in safe mode. I checked some forums and i have learned that there was something to do with the cd /dvd autorun function of the CD/DVD recorder.
If the autorun function is deactivate in windows registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Servi ces\CDRom and key value changed from 1 to 0) the blinking disappears but i can't access any of my CD or DVD data ( the media are marked as blank). However, audio CD and video DVD are working except that they can't be started automatically.
The same thing happens if the CD/DVD recorder is deactivated in the device manager of the control panel : the led indicator has a normal activity.
I would like if this problem occurs with other owners of this product and if there is a solution to use normally the recorder without this flash
Thanks

I don't have A500 but A300 and I cannot say for sure why this happen and what kind of HDD activity is in progress but what you can try is to remove some Toshiba preinstalled stuff like TEMPRO or preinstalled antivir application.
When the notebook is brand new first days many updates will be installed and in the background is always some activity. Is automatic update disabled?
Try also to remove TEMPRO. This tool is permanent active and search for updates.
Try simply to optimize preinstalled OS and watch carefully if something will change. I do it always after clean OS installation.

ThinkPad W510 HDD LED indicator always on

Hi,
I'm using a ThinkPad W510 but I notice that the HDD light is always on, though there's no significant I/O task.
I remember the HDD light is blinking only when you're doing something with the hard disk, and most of other time, it stays off.
The machine is run with Windows 8. Don't know if there's anything wrong with it. Does anybody have the same situation? \
Thanks alot
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I would suggest adding them back a few at a time, and see when it starts the behavior.

Hard disk shock protection

I want to upgrade my internal 80GB Toshiba HDD to a 160GB Hitachi drive.
I have read that the Macbook HDD shock protection system is on the motherboard
and that any drive will be protected. Does anyone know for sure if this is true ?
Thanks, Tom

Thanks, Kappy
On the old Toshiba drive there was a 3 or 4 pin connector that isn't present
on the Hitachi, and I thought this had something to do with the HDSP.

5th Gen. Brand new ipod DIED! Need help on this.

Hi: I purchased my 30 gig ipod from B&H store in New York and I also have purchased an extended 3 international warranty coverage which sold by a company called `Mackcam`. Their website is www.mackcam.com and they are totally BOGUS! Knowing that I am in Turkey and probably assuming won't push this further away, they haven`t answered my warranty claim since mid June.
What happened to my ipod video is that after holding it connectted to USB 2.0 port for 4 hrs' suddenly computer at work came up w dialog box `USB device not recognized`despite it was already connected to the port and had been working for 4 hrs. Then i took it home and worked fine w my laptop only 1 day. Ive put some songs and disconnectted w fully charged battery, listened in the bed but after 10 minutes I ve noticed that battery indicator was red and showing 1 / 5 energy. I shut it off and next day I plugged onto USB, a blinking shock indicator show up but it never charged again nor my computer recognized the ipod.Lately same day my ipod has died since then I have been trying to charge it periodically but no hope. It looks totally dead.
My question is that how do I find out if the problem is battery or hdd inside is burnt? If the problem is battery' and since my so called `warranty` doesnt respond to my claim I will buy one of those toolkits for battery replacement sold at Ebay. If the problem is HDD i have nothing to do more. I will never buy apple product ever again.
Thanx for any help

Windows XP installation on Satellite U300

I need to downgrade my notebook from vista to XP pro. After slipstreaming the new sata drivers into XP I installed windows xp.
After installing all the drivers (and chipset drivers) i have two questionmarks left. (other devices)
I realy don't have any idea what these two devices are.
When I look in the device manager it shows
- devices instance id :ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&0
and the other device shows:
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_444E&SUBSYS_444E8086&REV_01\4&23F 5EDAD&0&00E0
Any suggestions? And/or new drivers for wxp?

Hi
One question:
Did you install all XP drivers as mentioned in the Installation instruction??
The installation instruction can be found on the Toshiba driver page. You have to follow the installation order.
By the way; the ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&0 seem to be an Toshiba HDD shock protection driver.
In my opinion you could find it in the HDD Protection Utility.
However, the installation instruction should be cheeked and you should follow it!

Trouble with transfer from older LR and machine to LR5 on a newer computer

I have used LR1 for several years on an ancient Mac G4 so not a beginner but didn't find anyplace else to post a question. If anyone cares to redirect me to the right place, I welcome that.
The library module has always been a mystery, I've always been groping in the dark. In spite of that, I've processed a few thousand raw files and have always been comfortable with adding metadata, and working in the develop module, which is all that I need.
I have just acquired a fairly new MacPro, and downloaded a trial version of LR5. But making the transition to the new machine is proving to be a barrier. I think the issue has to do with LR5 not finding the correct path to the actual images, and I don't know enough to help it do that as efficiently as it could probably be accomplished.
Here's what I've done without trouble:
1. On the G4, made a copy of my LR catalog, and gave it a distinct name.
2. Formatted a new large HDD on the MacPro dedicated for image files (not the boot disk).
3. Copied my image files from the G4 to the new HDD in the MacPro.
4. Downloaded the LR5 trial version.
5. Moved the renamed LR catalog from the G4 to the Mac Pro.
6. Opened the catalog with LR5 on the MacPro and selected Library module.
LR5 had problems finding the right path to the images, as indicated by the icon shown in the grid on the upper right corner of the thumbnails - and by the absence of actual images which were instead just empty squares. LR did properly show the HDDs on the MacPro, both the boot disk and the second disk dedicated to images, but the image folders were not listed within the one dedicated to these new images, even though that's where they were saved. Farther down on the left panel LR5 showed my original jumble of folders, but listed them as being still located in the old HDD, as indicated by the name of that volume. And of course there were the question marks, which I have grown to know and....uh, tolerate.
So the LR needed to know how to find the correct path. I didn't know how to direct it, and a LR savvy friend also was stumped also. So I experimented. Unsuccessfully.
I should explain what I mean by the "jumble" of folders: On my G4 Mac, the actual heirarchy of folders from my hard drive never appeared in LR, it was just a list arranged alphabetically. That was inconvenient, but I didn't know why that was happening and didn't know how to fix it.
I found that I was able to help LR5 locate the images by clicking the exclamation point icon, and that brought in the images with all the metadata and develop settings. But I was only able to do that with one folder at a time, and given the number of folders, that was going to be a long and very tedious project. I was sure there had to be a better way.
I made some progress using the contextual menu to "update folder location" but again that was just as tedious to do, it was working only one folder at a time.
I then selected one folder and clicked "synchronize folder" which located a much larger group of images and added them where they needed to be in the left panel within the correct new volume. The bonus was that the proper folder heirarchy was included. However that process did not bring along the metadata, ie, keywords and previous develop module settings, and that was a deal breaker, I don't want to lose that metadata in the transfer, and I'm sure I don't have to, I know LR is smarter than that.
My original image files, and the original catalog, are all still backed up on my old computer, so nothing is lost, it's just not being transferred properly.
What is the best choice now? I have no problem with starting over with LR5 - deleting the renamed catalog and making another copy on the old machine, moving it to the MacPro, and working with that. If I do, how do I help LR5 find the right path to my existing images with metadata and develop settings, without the laborious process of doing it for every folder?
I'll be very grateful for any and all advice, thanks,
Gary

Jon,
What Julianne said at first about re-linking made perfect sense and I followed it easily, had actually already been there. But in my situation now, it didn't have any effect. The directory of folders which had already been added were still just as they were, and the outstanding balance are not in the desired position. And the folders which had been brought in earlier today when I clicked "synchronize folder", were still missing all the metadata.
Maybe this means I need to start over, and I'm fine about doing that that, but I don't know what it takes to accomplish that. I'm concerned now that any changes I make out of guesswork could only make the problem harder to resolve. It just feels to me like something I did at the beginning just wasn't right, and now it's a tangle.
Can you advise?
Thanks,
Gary

Windows 8.1 100% Disk Usage Problem

I am running a Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5110. 12 GB Ram, 456 GB HD with 311 GB free, CPU Max speed 2.7 GH. My computer, as many other
W8 and W8.1 users seem to suffer, is nearly constantly at 100% disk usage (apparently
I have seen many claims as to what causes this; some even say it involves a bad HD. However, I do not think my HD is bad because
1. My HD was fine before I got 8.1, to the best of my knowledge ( was on 8 prior to 8.1)
2. Most importantly, when my computer isn't in the 100% phases, it seems to work absolutely fine!
I would like help in figuring out what to do about this problem, as well as why it occurs and why it works the way it does (i.e. seemingly just going away for long periods of time).
It is extremely difficult to work when my computer is being very slow, and not knowing when it will happen or what makes it stop happening is frustrating.
I will provide below a list of measures I have taken, edited to include new things tried.
1. Adding RAM
2. Increasing pagefile
3. Running programs to clean up clutter, fix registry problems, free up memory, etc (specifically, Iolo System Mechanic)
4. Disabling the Windows Search Indexing service
5. Checking for updates
6. Running Microsoft Security Scanner (it found nothing)
7. Disabling Live Tiles (of which I only had one in the first place!)
8. One person claimed that their problem went away when they ran Skype, of all things. I tried this, though it did not do the trick.
9. Booting in Safe Mode.
10. Clean Boot.
11. My drive is 0% fragmented.
12. Trying to repair the Windows Image does nothing, as it comes up as being healthy when scanned.
13. sfc /scannow did not fix the problem either.
14. Running Microsoft's performance scanner and uploading the .etl file got me a reply blaming Chrome, which is impossible because
the problem occurs with no programs running. I will try another recording and put it up; the link will be edited in.
https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=DD4BA6A3F312AE94!945&authkey=!APrxfxQeNw14igc&ithint=file%2c.etl

Having the exact same problem on a computer after the Windows update installed from 8.0 to 8.1.
Even after reloading the computer from scratch.
The drive activity goes WAY up when booting - to 100%. It then seems to calm down but randomly will go up and down throughout the day peaking at 100%. Even when nothing is open except a MSWord page into which I am typing.
If other programs are open such as Excel and/or Internet Explorer they will display the file name at the top as usual with (Not Responding) at the end. The screen will fade to an opaque look. This lasts for up to approx. 15 minutes at times and the computer
responds to no keyboard or mouse clicks. The mouse pointer on the screen still moves but nothing happens when I click on anything.
I managed to keep the Task Manager visible and it clearly shows less than 20% memory use and less than 5% CPU use when this occurs. But the HDD is at 100%.
The fact that it was fine prior to updating to 8.1 indicates an issue with 8.1 to me. Absolutely nothing else has changed on this machine - aside from Windows Update.
This is a know fault and I hate W8.1. Once it finishes whatever it is doing then there are a bunch of screen flashes as it catches up to what ever and where ever I had clicked with the mouse while it was frozen. It is like it is catching up because W8.1
is causing the HDD to ???????????
Another issue I encounter is the stupid Automatic Maintenance that cannot be disabled. I have found nothing to accomplish this that actually works no matter what anyone has posted on MS sites. It last rendered my computer today useless for approx. +1
hour today!!! I had been using the computer and it was never idle for more than 1 or 2 minutes but yet it started. It is set to run at 1:00 am but it was only approx. 5:00 pm.!!
The Automatic Maintenance is not running however, when the computer freezes and uses 100% HDD as indicated by Task Manager.
Also I can disconnect the computer from the modem or power off the modem and the HDD remains at 100%! So it is not sending nor receiving anything at that time.

Problem with moving laptop

Whenever I move my laptop a little (like when I'm using it on my lap and shift my position) a message appears saying that the HDD was affected. Is this normal or dangerous? It gives me the option to not have this message appear again. What should I do?

i was messing around with some laptops at staples with the HDD shock protection that you are talking about. it seems very stupid since you cant move it with out the message. i tried typing on it and the message came up. if you turn the message off it wont harm anything but see if there is something to turn the sensitivity down. as long as your not dropping or hitting your laptop hard i see no reason to have it show the message. but that is just my opinion. its your laptop and your the only one that knows whether or not you want to know every time you move your laptop

[SOLVED] Extra Button in GNOME Status Menu

Hello,
I'm going to have to apologize right off the bat for this rather vague question, but I really don't have much to go on (yet). I've done a lot of Googling to try to figure this out but nothing has turned up so far.
Now that that's out of the way, here's the problem:
An extra button has shown up in my GNOME status menu. The image is a link to a (slightly) higher quality version. The button doesn't seem to do anything, except when I click it the icon changes to this:
A second click restores the first icon, and the cycle repeats. I'm running GNOME 3.14, and the icon showed up a couple weeks back while I was having a DE install-fest and trying out Cinnamon and KDE. As far as I can tell, it showed up around the time I set those up, but that could also just be a coincidence. Now that that adventure is through, Cinnamon and KDE have been uninstalled and I've done my best to rm any remaining config files. My second Arch machine has no such button (and has only ever run GNOME). Honestly, it doesn't make any practical difference, so I ignored it at first, but its unexplained existence has come to disturb me.
I've tried searching for others with a similar problem, looked at GNOME extentions that themselves add a button (such as https://github.com/arelange/gnome-shell … ate-status), and perused through the GNOME-shell source code in an attempt familarize myself with what was going on. I'm rather inexperienced with that sort of programming, so my endeavor was not as insightful as I had hoped. As a final act of desperation, I ran
pacman -S gnome
but of course, with no success. If anyone could point me in the right direction or offer suggestions, it would be very appreciated!

Ahh, yes, I think you are right. In fact, my relatively old and bulky Acer 5742 does have an accelerometer (presumably for HDD shock protection?):
$ cat /proc/bus/input/devices
I: Bus=0019 Vendor=0000 Product=0000 Version=0000
N: Name="Acer BMA150 accelerometer"
P: Phys=wmi/input1
S: Sysfs=/devices/virtual/input/input13
U: Uniq=
H: Handlers=event11 js0
B: PROP=0
B: EV=9
B: ABS=7
I checked and the bma150 module wasn't loaded, so I went ahead and loaded it and started waiving my 5.7lb laptop around like a madman. No screen rotation, and I'm not sure how to read the raw input from the device, but I'm sure there are a plethora of reasons GNOME might detect an accelerometer and put a button there even if it isn't designed for this sort of input or properly configured or supported. If that's the case, there's no need to figure out how to get rid of the button, but I am curious if other people have similar experiences or perhaps the opposite (you can see an accelerometer but no button) just for some level of certainty this is the correct explanation. For starters, my other machine that does not have the button also does not have an accelerometer listed in /proc/bus/input/devices.

MS-6390: Return Of The USB Problem!

Almost a year ago I posted a thread regarding a USB problem in which after a few hours runtime, the USB ports stop working. Having reinstalled Windows, I followed the original thread to fix the problem again but this time, it hasn't work. The old thread for reference is; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=49727.0
but I shall try and include everything important here so it shouldn't be needed.
Firstly the nature of the problem;
Any new device plugged into them is not recognisied and Windows advises that it is the device that is malfunctioning.
Restarting the computer will eliminate the problem, however upon rebooting, the computer tends to get stuck at what may be the memory count. If left for 10 minutes, the memory amount comes up and the computer boots normally. This is circumvented by temporarily (one second) removing power to the power supply by pulling the plug or flicking the switch at the back.
[It may or may not be relevant that the HDD activity indicator is lit for approximately 30 seconds of this 10 minute period]
Upon switching the computer on again, the computer boots up normally and the USB ports continue to function for another variable period of time.
This problem occurs if there are no devices plugged into the USB, any single device (printer, gamepad, mobile phone) or any combination.
It should also be noted that if the computer crashes due to any of many unrelated reasons after this problem has arisen, and I use the reset button to make it reboot, the 10 minute reboot problem occurs again but appears differently on screen in that it actually says 'memory check' or words to that effect with a space where the normally RAM amount goes, a '+' and another empty space where the memory reserved for onboard graphics normally goes (i.e. memory check: + )
I've tried uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling those downloaded from VIAs website for my chipset.
My USB ports are set not to power down to save power in device manager.
The multi-card reader (plugged directly into the motherboard) also stops functioning when the USB ports go down - power light stays on, activity light stops flashing (occasionally power light turns off). Unplugging it from the motherboard does not resolve the issue.
I want to resolve this issue so the computer is trouble-free when I give it my mum to learn from.
Comp. specs in signature. Thanks in advance.

I don't know how to dig deeper... Soon this computer will only be using a single 80 gig HD, and I'll remove the fan controller (it'll be mums computer). I'll then be able to try just using sp1a.
This PSU I'm using is reviewed here with a several others. (the model number is the same, but the one tested doesn't appear to be dual rail - they actually state the number slightly incorrectly, but it's correct in the picture of the label they show.
I think it performed quite well, being one of only two that were able to keep producing (just) over 1 v at 100% load, whilst most others just plumetted. A significant but probably not damaging drop to 4.87v on the 5v rail and again 3.26 on the 3.3v rail all at 100% load (which you're never supposed to due to the PSU anyway). It got a recommended award since apparently it doesn't have many features but I don't think I'm in need of any features it lacks.
Furthermore - at the back it has a control for fan speed. Currently set on Auto, it maintains the same fan speeds (audiability) as on Low - thus I conclude it has headroom to push itself if necessary (in which case the fans would spin faster).
Apart from someone who said they're "cheapo", I havn't yet found any negative comments regarding Jeantech PSUs.

Cannot start after change sata mode

Hi
I have a probook 4510s i try to install win Xp instead of opensuse. Before installing XP, i change a SATA mode from AHCI to IDE. XP was installed ok but when i try to switch back from IDE to AHCI, my laptoop freeze and got black screen. Now when i start a laptop, nothing happens only a HDD led indicator blink. Can enybody help me?? thanks
Sorry for bad english

Hi:
You have to install the SATA ACHI drivers for the notebook which is why that happened. Switch it back to IDE mode for now and then follow the procedures below to get it to work in ACHI mode:
Download and install the chipset driver first:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
Download the Matrix Storage Manager:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=32...
I could only find two of the files the manual said to copy to a flash drive. So, you can download this utility from Intel which will automatically create a floppy disk with the required files and follow the instructions on Page 12-19 of the below link:
http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=2800&DwnldID=18860&lang=eng
Read this manual and follow the procedures on pages 12 - 19
http://bizsupport2.austin.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c01600726/c01600726.pdf
After you do this you should be able to change your BIOS setting back to ACHI.

I am currently running Arch Linux on my ThinkPad X41.
I am having troubles trying to get tp_smapi work on my system after the full system update that I did yesterday. I jumped from (12.2010) 2.6.36 to kernel 2.6.39. Since yesterday, tp_smapi was working perfectly, but after the update, it seems that the new kernel cannot recognize the tp_smapi module. I tried to remove and insert it again with modprobe tp_smapi, but I am getting: "FATAL: Module tp_smapi not found" every time.
As I have build tp_smapi from AUR, I removed it with pacman -Rd tp_smapi and installed my package again. Even removed hdapsd and reinstalled it again after tp_smapi and I am getting the same - the module could not be found.
I saw that there is a slightly newer tp_smapi in AUR, but currently I am not able to build the package, as I am getting some build() errors like: "gcc: error -pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible."
This PKGBUILD seems a patch for 2.6.37 kernel and probably could not build directly under the new kernel. Anyway, I am still not able to bring the good old tp_smapi to working condition.
Anyone with a working solution about this?

No headphone sound after Windows 7 clean installation

Hello.
I recently performed a clean installation of Windows 7 Home Premium. Before that on preinstalled Windows the problem described below did not show up, sound worked just great.
Now I don't have sound when inserting my headphones in jack (built-in speakers work fine however). Windows reports that sound works, no problems found, but I hear nothing. On the same computer I have also Linux installed and the same headphones work well there in the same jack.
When I put my headphones in, Realtek Manager makes notification that the device is plugged in.
My model is Qosmio X775-3DV78. What I have tried so far:
1) Reinstalling, updating, removing, trying different versions of Realtek HD Audio driver.
2) Changing every possible setting in Realtek HD Audio Manager.
3) Trying different headphones - same result: nothing.
4) Changing settings in Playback Devices.
Since it worked before reinstalling Windows and since it works on Linux on the same computer, there is definitely something wrong with my drivers. Could you please provide information as to what drivers exactly I should have installed to make sound work correctly? Maybe some motherboard driver is missing (though I installed everything important I could find on Toshiba site).
Attached are some important screenshots. Please note that there are 2 unknown devices in my Device Manager and also USB Controller driver has problems, though I do not think it has any connection with the problem.
* On both Playback Devices forms Disabled Devices and Disconnected Devices are shown.
Thanks!
UPDATE: One of "Unknown devices" proved to be Toshiba HDD Shock Sensor driver and another one is ACPI\TOS6205.

I have just done the same upgrade to Windows7 and I have no sound from the headphone jack. Also when I plug into it, I don't get the old Realtek Audio evaluation screen for audio setup.
However I do not use headphones, as I have been using a RCA jack to plug from the headphones output jack to
a portilble shortwave radio that I have utilized the 6 inch woofer for the past three years since buying the laptop new, for better output and base sound from the radio speaker while simultaneously running the stereo built-in speakers on the laptop.
Can someone tell me that I should just update the laptop audio card by re-installing the original Realtek Audio Driver? Is that easily accessible here in the official Toshiba site? Also if possible, please inform me of other driver updates that would most likely need re-installation processes after this Windows 7 update.
Thank you for any info,

Can't find 2 drivers for my Qosmio X770-126

Hi,my laptop is a Qosmio X770-126 PSBY5E 03600 HFR
I can't find this 2 drivers,i need help please :)
PNP device IP:
ACPI\TOS6205\2&DABA3FF&2
ACPI\TOS620A\2&DABA3FF&2
I tryed to install intel management engine interface but it can't resolve my problem
Thx in advance

Hi
The *ACPI\TOS6205* seems to be Bluetooth device.
The *ACPI\TOS620A* seems to be an HDD shock protection sensor
Therefore you should install the Atheros Bluetooth Filter Driver Package and Toshiba BT stack to get BT working.
Furthermore the HDD Protection Utility should be installed to get rid of TOS620A device

Hdd shock indicator?
