Re: New SD-R6472 on Satellite 1800-100 - target drive not found

Hi Toshiba fans
I have a Satellite 1800-100 and bought a DVD drive SD-R6472
I have downloaded the SD-R6472 csel changer programm but cannot run it.
It says "the target drive is not found "
I did already download the latest bios version
Does anybody know what to do next?
Would appreciate it a lot if someone could help me on this
best regards
Chris

There is a simply explanation; the firmware which you are using is simply not compatible with your SD-R6472 drive.
I dont think that you will be successful to flash the drives settings.
Fact is that such tool is not available on the Toshiba page and I doubt that any 3rd party software would be able to do this
Before buying a CD/DVD drive you should ensure that such ODD would be compatible with your notebook.
In my user manual I could find details about compatible drives.
Maybe your user manual would provide info about the compatible ODD too
If not, then you should contact the Toshiba ASP for informations about compatible CD/DVD drives.
Have a nice WE

Satellite 1800-100: video-out does not work

He,
I just installed windows XP on my old Satellite 1800-100, but now my video-out does not work anymore. So I just downloaded the latest driver, but there's no way I can get it installed. According to Windows the new driver isn't newer, so it won't let me update it. And when i try to unistall the display driver, I have to reboot before it takes effect, and wile rebooting it automaticly installs the standard driver again.
Can anybody help me?
Greets,
Daan

Hi
Do you mean TV- out port or monitor port? As far as I know this unit is preinstalled with WXP Home and all drivers can be also used for WXP Pro.
Did you preinstall your own OS (non recovery image)?

Satellite 3000-100: 2nd battery not charging.

Hi, I've just a bought PA3099U-1BRS 2nd internal battery bay for Satellite 3000-100, but it remains on 0% and won't charge. I have read the support areas of the site and it says I need at least BIOS v1.90, and I have 2.40 (otherwise this could have been the cause of the problem), is there anything else I can try? Thanks, Tommy

Hi
If I am remember well enough the Satellite 3000 has a small reset button that must be pressed with a pen. Check it please and if yes put the new battery inside, start the unit and press the reset button immediately and hold down about 15 or 20 seconds.

Satellite P200-1EE - Hard disk not found if I try to install XP

Hi and I have a problem.
I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite P200-1EE series laptop running (of all things) Vista and nothing but problems ever since so im trying to install XP professional and overwrite Vista.
But whenever I try to install it says "hard disk not found..... unable to access"
I've heard of problems like this before something like a "software block protocol"
Any suggestions?

Hi!
Why you dont search in the forum before you start a new topic?
I mean you will hundreds of threads about this issue here in the forum and you will find the solution of your problem in few minutes.
Well, the reason for this is because you need the SATA drivers before you can install Windows XP. As far as I know your notebook is equipped with an Intel chipset and so you need the Intel Storage Manager. You can integrate the drivers using an external FDD or nLite [www.nliteos.com]. Furthermore this document could be useful for you:

Satellite 2060CDS: CD drive not found under Win98 - controller problems?

Dear all,
at the moment I'm on holiday at the baltic/Germany. There my TOSHIBA Satellite 2060 CDS had a Windows 98 crash and so I had to install OS new with recovery cd. After that I don't found CD-ROM drive any longer in Windows. Having a look into System and Hardware Manager there seems to be trouble with TOSHIBA primary IDE controller and TOSHIBA secondary IDE controller because there is a "!" infront of them.
I tried to reinstall OS approx. six times but unfortunately without success.
Please help me!
Tobi

Hi,
thank you for fast reply.
Unfortunately I have just Modem-connection (56k) and so I would like to say that it would be to hard to download Windows 98 service packs... :-(
Well, TOHSIBA Service Support answered me that it may be a hardware problem, so maybe the controller on the mainboard is demaged. I say thank you for this fast reply, but I'm suprised that I can copy data from CD-ROM to HDD in MS-DOS-Modus (starting with Windows start disk and CD-ROM-support).
So I still have hope that there is a software solution...
If you have any detailed hints or data for me - please let me know!!!
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Tobi

Satellite C650D-113 - WiFi driver not working on Windows XP

The wifi-driver downloadable from Toshibas site is not working it seems, it installs as if it's all correct, removing the yellow exclamation mark from the device manage. But the "wireless network connection" icon that is supposed to appear in the network connections folder does not appear and this is where I am stuck.
Or maybe it wasnt the driver, downloaded and installed the wireless lan client manager because there were no specific "wifi driver" to download.

Yep, checked the fn+f8 before posting, and it's on. A new problem has arisen now aswell, the audio driver won't install with the message "ERROR: driver installation failed: could not find the MEDIA device for this driver." What gives?
Edit: Allright, the driver from the link given worked, awesome, thanks! Only sound left that needs to work and I'm set. :)

Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working - error code 39

Hi All
My Satellite Pro A210 dvd drive is not loading.
When I looked into it it showed an error code 39.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Hi
From my knowledge the error message 39 appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in the My Computer.
You can try this workaround:
Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
Then go to registry (regedit) and remove the upper and lower filters from the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the unit and test it again
I think this should help!

Satellite M100 - DVD-Multi-Drive not recognized as CD/DVD recorder (!)

Hello,
after installing Win XP SP3 in the last windows update, the Toshiba tools as well as other CD/DVD-burning software don't recognize the DVD-ram drive as such, only as a CD-rom-drive.
Thus, software like recordIt doesn't work.
I have already removed the drive from the hardware list and have reinstalled it.
The driver used is "Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-841S"
That is correct, so far. But it doesn't burning CDs/DVDs.
Has anyone noticed this problem as well?
Thanks.
Bjoern

Hi
I think its a lower upper filter issue and I think you could solve this following this step by step instruction.
First of all remove the ODD (CD/DVD) drive from the list in device manager.
Then access the registry and remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters values completely from the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Finally you should reboot the unit.
After that windows will recognize the ODD again

Satellite 2450-101: Wireless Card not found

Hello: I seem to be unable to make my internal wireless card working on this model. After reading few postings, i am not even sure if my model has a wireless card, altough I was told it does and reading manuals and simply observing the laptop, it seems so.
Can anyone confirm if this model (bought in Spain) has wireless card and how to set it up please? The little light next to the switch is dark, I have tried all possible in terms driver setup etc.
Thanks
Hynek

Hello
This unit is WiFi ready and please check in device manager if the wireless card is listed there. You can find it under network adapters.
Usually all notebook models with WiFi card have a WiFi label on the bottom side. Check it.

Cannot connect to the Internet with my Satellite 1800-712

Hi,
had to reinstall WXP on my Satellite 1800-712, unfortunately have not the recovery disk otherwise it would all be ok.
Now I cannot get onto internet, I have downloaded new LAN drivers, installed them ok, LAN is set for auto detect, USB wireless dongle drivers installed all ok.
In my tray (bottom right) icon shows networks but with red cross... I get a message saying wireless networks are within range, click to see networks... when I click , sunscreen comes up saying no networks in range..... aarrrgggh.
What can I do, please?

Hello
Have you checked if the WLAN card is enabled on your notebook?
The hardware switch on the notebook must be set to on and you can also enable it with FN+F8.
Check this!!
Furthermore check the device manager for yellow exclamation marks. Maybe you should reinstall the driver. Therefore select the WLAN card in device manager and choose uninstall. Restart the notebook and install the newest WLAN driver from the Toshiba website.
Last but not least make sure that the router is in range of the notebook.
Good luck!

"Audio Record Path Not Found" error and new details

I've been having problems opening up older GarageBand files I've created and trying to add new content. When I try to record on an existing track, or in a new track, I get the error: "Audio Record Path not Found! Please enter it in the following dialog." (and there's no following dialog). I've tried to save the file as an archive, which has worked in the past, but doesn't work any longer. I'm using a MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 15"
As a test, I installed iLife 06 on my older (PowerPC-based) Mac Mini. On that computer, I'm able to open the files, and record onto an existing track. None of my recording equipment is attached to this machine, however. If I save an archive and move it to my macBook Pro, I'm still not able to add recordings to it.
I tried reintalling GarageBand on my MBP, but I still get the same error. I've also deleted the preference files from Library > Preferences. (the two com.apple.garageband... files), and still no luck. It doesn't sound like the audio files themsleves are corrupted since I can open them on the Mini, so it's likely GarageBand. What else can I delete to make it a pristine installation?
I don't want to use my Mac Mini for recording, as it's too slow for my editing needs, but if I can't open the files on my MacBook Pro, I'll have to re-record them.
Anyone have any ideas I can try?

Excellent suggestion! I actually left the files on the external USB drive on which I store them, and accessed them from my MacBook Pro (instead of moving the files to the MacBook Pro), and sure enough, I'm able to edit and add to the files!
I still don't know why I can't access them locally on the MBP, but this workaround is certainly acceptible for my needs!
Thanks out to everyone who helped on this thread!

How do I read a downloaded manual file for Satellite 1800?

I downloaded the file named S1800MnlME.EXE from the Australian Toshiba site. I didn't download it to the notebook to which it applies (model PS181A-00UK5), but to a different computer.
I double-clicked on the file. I got a window on the screen. The title bar said "WinZip Self-Extractor" and the file name. In the window, it said "Hyper Text for Satellite 1800" and I was invited to click "Setup". I did. I got a window that said "Installing Hyper Text for Satellite 1800". Then, I was told that installation was finished and to reboot. I did. On reboot, I can't find any new files though, just the original one.
What am I doing wrong? Will this only work on the Toshiba notebook itself?
Thanks for reading this.
Leslie

The problem's solved. There were files in a new folder on the C: drive called docs. Double-clicking on MVSHELL in that folder opened the manual.

Satellite 1800: screen switches black

I have a Toshiba Satellite 1800 which is, like me, getting on a bit! It was bought in 2000 but has not had excessive use.
Recently the monitor has started to play up and will suddenly go completely black. I checked the manual and to get it back I press Fn+F5 and it does come back although sometimes it takes a few pressings.
Does anyone know why it has started to do this and is there a way to fix it. I am dead scared that one day it will simply not come back at all.
I am a total greeny when it comes to technology.

Actually, if you look closely you find that the screen does not go completely black, it just gets very dim. You can still see the shades of what is being displayed on the screen. The problem is with a little board called the FL inverter for the screen.
Please check the following thread:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=15513
I have had the same problem for a while now with my satellite 1800. The only solution I have found is to open the LCD and re-seat the connectors on the FL inverter board. It works every time and lasts for a month or more. Keep in mind that I teach using my laptop.
So, it gets carried around quite a bit every day. The recurrence of the problem might be due to the jarring and bumping as I move the laptop from lecture to lecture.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. But this is not something that can be cured through software.
Best regards.

Can't create the diskette for updating the BIOS on Satellite 1800-712

I was given a Satellite 1800-712 with bugged BIOS (the power went down while reflashing) So now when the notebook is switched on a sign shows
BIOS (Block2) is damaged! (Call your serviceman)
and so on...
I've downloaded the latest bios for the notebook, but when I try to follow the instructions given (unzip, insert a formated 1.44mb disk, start the *.exe file and a 1.44mb should be created) nothing happens. When I run the exe (chgbiosa.exe) if I'm running windows xp nothing happens, and if I'm running DOS says "Initial Error".
In the Archive of the bios is a readme. It says that I should copy the files (BIOFC72T.COM and CHGBIOSA.EXE) to a 1.44mb floppy disk. Well it doesn't help either.
Any ideas what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Hi
I found this thread in the forum:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19801&messageID=72625
The case described in the thread above is very similar to your issue.
According to this message every newer BIOS has a protection mechanism which means that even in case of an incomplete flashing procedure, the responsible area in the BIOS-flash for the upgrade is never deleted.
So usually you should contact the service point in you country to solve this problem but maybe the description in the other thread will help you.
But you know, everything what you do is at you own risk
