Re: Satellite L300D-243 - CD drive doesn??t reject the CD disk sometimes

Hi
every time I'm using a CD I have to turn off laptop-and switch on after some time because cd won't come out.
Any suggestions.

Hi
Every ODD (CD/DVD drive) contains a tiny whole near the eject button.
If the disk drive wont reject the disk then you could try use and insert a small object (bracket, wire, etc) in order to reject the inserted disk.
But usually this should not happen and if this will happen very often then you should contact the technician because this issue could be related to the hardware issue

  • The driver doesn't support the version of ODBC

    Hi:
    We have been working with timesten client on a windows, we had not have any problem, the number of clients had not connect more than 80 clients, but today we connected 125 clients and we got this error directly to the client application.

    So we don't know if this error could happen because the number of connections were exceeded, but when this has happened the error messages is different.
    Let me tell you that the application client was developed using C#. So could it be that the C# on .NET could have a instruction that the timesten ODBC could not manage?

    Is this problem reproducable? i.e. Does it occur whenever you get close to 125 clients connecting to TimesTen? Next time when it happens again, can you check to see whether you can establish a new client/server connection locally on the TimesTen server machine?
    Each TimesTen Client connection requires one server process, and by default, a server process is spawned when a client requests a connection. It is possible that you may have too many processes running on the server, hence it cannot spawn additional server processes to handle the new connections. The good news is that in 7.0.3, the TimesTen server is now multi-threaded and each process can handle multiple client connections (this number is configurable), so it's possible to have fewer server processes for the same number of client connections compared to previous releases.
    Please check out "Specifying multiple connections to the TimesTen Server" in the 7.0.3 Oracle TimesTen Operations Guide for more information on how to turn on the multithreaded mode.

  • Satellite L300D-243 and WLAN - limited connectivity

    I've just got an L300D-243 and it is mostly lovely, but ... when I try to connect to our wireless internet I keep getting a 'limited connectivity' notification. I'm using system pack one so it's not the fault known in system pack 2. It works fine when I use the internet cable, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a computer I can carry around.
    So, can anyone suggest a cure?
    Trizia

    Hi!
    Please check the link posted by Feliks. It seems that it could solve your issue with the WLAN connection.
    Furthermore I can recommend installing the newest WLAN driver from Intel. On my Satellite L300 I had some issues with the WLAN connection and a driver update could solve the problem! :)

  • Satellite L300D-11A - DVD-drive issue and Blue Screen

    Hi
    I'm going out of my mind :o//
    My Satellite L300D-11A was delivered with a Windows Vista Home Premium, but I recently made a clean installation of the Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits.
    Since then I have had problems with "Blue screen error's" comming randomly. Have purchased and installed a Registry clean up program, but that did not fix the problem. Any one else with that problem - and a possible solution.
    And now for my big problem. My CD and DVD drive is driving me crazy ;o) It's a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-850S ATA and from my search on the internet I have found that a lot of other Mat****a owners have had the same or similar problem(s). My drive will not regonize or play/read from CD's. DVD with movies or programs I can play. Burning CD's is not possible and burning DVD's is sometimes working, and other times not.
    I have read about the different fixes that is posted - also here on the Toshiba forum - Non of the suggested solutions is working for me - any new solutions that I could try.
    Seriously thinking about buying a external USB DVD drive/burner - but can someone please tell me why Toshiba does not get the fingers out off their B** and find a solution like it seams Sony has done.
    Look forward to any reply ;o))
    Someone once told me about this quote - "Don't wish it was easier - work on getting clever !" I need your help to get clever ;o))

    > But I do not now how/where to get the registration keys! I have tried looking for them.
    Are you talking about *Upper/Lower Filters* ?
    Follow these instructions for clearing the Upper/Lower Filters:
    Click on Start --> Run --> and type in 'regedit' followed by the enter key
    Expand the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE" key (looks like a folder) by double clicking it (or clicking the "+" next to it.)
    Expand the "SYSTEM" Key
    Expand the "CurrentControlSet" Key
    Expand the "Control" Key
    Expand the "Class" Key
    Please look for a key containing the following string of letter and numbers:{4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    High light this key by left clicking once on it
    On the right hand side you are looking for "UpperFilters" and "LowerFilters" under the "Name" column, once you find these please delete them by right clicking on them and choosing "delete"
    Please exit the registry by clicking on the "X" in the top right hand corner of the screen

  • My Macbook doesn't recognise the startup disk

    I started having problems with Yosemite and lion (installed in the same hard drive, different partitions) so i erase all and instal mavericks, the macbook is late 2009 stock but i don't have startup disk, when i install mavericks it tells me that wont boot and it went an error trying to install, so i am able to boot with the alt key but my mac doesn't recognise de boot disk, when i try to select the startup disk on preferences it tells me: "You can’t change the startup disk to the selected disk. The bless tool was unable to set the current boot disk.", what i can do, i can boot with the alt key but it doesn't boot automatically.

    If you erase a drive, then in order to install Lion or later you must first install Snow Leopard 10.6.8. You can install Snow Leopard using the installer discs that came with your computer when it was new. You can then update the version of Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 by downloading the combo updater.

  • Help!  My iMac doesn't see the hard disk!

    My old, reliable iMac (the old sunflower flat panel) suddenly froze up and when I did a hard break and restarted it, the dreaded folder with a question mark appeared.
    I tried starting it from an installation disk--which it did with no problems except it still didn't see the hard disk. I tried inserting the Apple Hardware Test disk, which worked. I ran it and it said everything was OK, but when I hit the Restart button it still didn't see my hard drive.
    I'm at my wit's end because, being a freelancer, I have a lot of important information on my iMac, which I stupidly haven't backed up for a long time. I have a little hope because the Apple Hardware Test ran and didn't find any problems (the Mass Storage test passed, which I'm assuming is the hard disk?).
    PLEASE! Can anyone help me? My main objective is to get my data off of the disk and onto either my PowerBook or my external USB hard drive.
    Thanks for any advice,
    Karin

    Are you saying your drive did not show up in Disk Utility? Did you Try using Disk Utility to do a Disk Repair, as shown in this link, while booted up on your install disk.
    Let us know what errors Disk Utility reports and if DU was able to repair them.

  • Folders that I copy from my Macbook to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other drive that I connect the Hard disk to (TV, PC, ... etc.)

    I'm facing a bit of a problem.
    Any folder I copy from my Macbook Pro to my External Hard Disk does NOT appear on any other device that I connect the Hard Disk to (TV, PC, etc).
    The Hard disk format is "MS-DOS (FAT)".
    The folders that are copied from Macbook appear when I connect the Hard Disk to my Macbook only, yet, the folders that I copy from a PC to the Hard Disk appear on Macbook, PC, and TV and are also available from editing from both Mac and PC.
    I was advised to install "Paragon" software and I did but I'm not sure how to use it to convert the folders on the hard drive to any format that can be read on other drives or devices (NTFS or otherwise).
    I'd appreciate some help. Thank you.

    Hi Simon.  How is it formatted, FAT or NTFS? 
    I only ask as OSX will only read NTFS partitions unless you install an App such as Paragon NTFS or Tuxera NTFS.

  • Migration Assistant doesn't see the startup disk from the old G4

    Hi,
    I just got my new iMac and was about to transfer stuff from my old G4 which have two internal disks. But I stumbled into serius problems right away. Migration Assistant is not able to see the startup disk from the G4. It sees only the other disk.
    I have tried to disconnect the extra disk and checked that the startup disk is forced with the jumper to be the master disk. With this configuration it won't start the G4 at all. Having he jumper in the cable select slot results to shut-up with the T-button (firewire) startup and normal startup without the T-way.
    What should I do? I can't figure out what the problem is.
    I enclose some System Profiler data of the problematic disk if this helps to find the solution.
    Model: MAXTOR 6L060J3
    BSD Name: disk0
    Protocol: ATA
    Unit Number: 1
    OS9 Drivers: Yes
    S.M.A.R.T. status: Verified
    File System: Journaled HFS+
    BSD NAme: disk0s10

    Ok. This is really simple to do.
    The idea of the dual drive iMac is that the System and Apps reside on the fast SSD and that the user directories reside on the HD.
    You first need to create the same accounts on your SSD as on your old iMac.
    The next step is to change the path of the user accounts from the SSD to the internal HD. Duplicate or copy the Users directories on the SSD to the HD.
    Change the path in System Preferences > User & Groups > Unlock to make changes > Select User account in sidebar > Right-click > Choose Advanced Options > Home Directory > Choose the Volumes/your_hd/Users/user_name.
    Restart your iMac and restore from Migration Assistant.
    Remember to keep the empty directories on the SSD, in case you ever have a HD failure or replacement, you will have to change the path back to the SSD.

  • External Hard Drive doesn't have the marked space

    I just got a new external hard drive from Western Digital which is supposed to have 250 G of space in it. I've had external drives before and they always had a few mbs missing when I open the file which I always assumed was formatting or some other normal thing taking up space on the drive. However, this is excessive. The drive only has 235 G (when I look at it in the finder and in Disk Utility). I formatted (extended journaled to use it with time machine) and it's the same thing.
    Would formatting with 7-Pass Erase or something like that make a difference? Why is there so much space missing from my hard drive?
    Thanks
    Marie

    there is nothing you can do here. this is the result of the well-known [bait and switch marketing tactics by HD manufacturers|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=30065-en]. the advertised capacity is in decimal BGs (250) and the actual capacity is in binary GB (235). all drive manufacturers do it and you should be aware of this when buying hard drives.

  • P100-240: Toshiba GPU driver is old, Nvidia driver doesn't enable the fan?

    Hi,
    I was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
    My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
    The problem here is that:
    a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
    b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
    so, Upon using the Nvidia drivers the laptops fan does not kick in, sending the systems temporature up to 106cand finally turning it off. It turned back on but basic graphics acceleration then failed to work.
    SO, can we get an updated driver build? OR some kind of fan control app? or can you update your bios to enable nvidias drivers to function?
    I feel like I cannot use my laptop for its purpose at the moment- I have reverted to installing a non-ACPI pc driver to force the fans to stay on which works well but then basic system functions like turn off do not work.
    I have also been advised that this design flaw could be considered to make the system "not fit for purpose" under which case I could just return the laptop under the Sale of Goods act.
    Though really, i'd just like to get my system working properly. It's bad enough not being able to run Linux on it, but even worse that windows doesnt work properly with it with official drivers.
    One final question: Can I get the older BIOSes? several fixes work with them but not with the 4.0 bios (mainly linux fixes but as long as one OS works I don't care!)
    Any tips on this are also welcome! Thanks for your help. :-)

    Hi
    >was wondering if Toshiba could explain their choice here.
    If you want to hear anything from Toshiba then you have to contact them. This forum is only a user to user forum and unfortunately you will not find anyone from Toshiba here.
    But maybe you want to hear my opinion;
    >My laptop recently got sent in for repair because it burnt itself out due to me using Nvidias own drivers on my p100-240 (pspa3e).
    >a) Toshibas drivers for this card are well over a year old and sometimes buggy in new games
    Well, many Toshiba notebooks are delivered and equipped with the same graphic cards. Maybe you have to look in other notebook series which are delivered with the same card for a newer GPU driver.
    But, you are right and generally the Toshiba graphic drivers are a little bit older as the original one from GPU manufacturer.
    Why? First of all the nVidia or ATI original drivers are not designed for the notebook usage. These are drivers for desktop PC graphic cards. I visited the area for mobile drivers and found a info that I have to look on the notebook manufacturer site!!! This said everything!!!!
    >b) Toshiba does not seem to have followed the Nvidia spec (that or there is a major ACPI issue in their bios...)
    As mentioned above the original GPU drivers are not designed for the notebook usage.
    Why? Because the notebook GPUs cannot be cooled like the graphic cards for the desktop PC!!!
    The Toshiba own drivers support an overheating protection which helps to avoid an GPU damage!!!!
    The original nVidia or ATI drivers do not support such overheating protection!!!
    If you want to use such drivers, you can do this ONLY at your own risk!
    >Can I get the older BIOSes?
    It seems Toshiba page provides only the newest BIOS. Maybe the authorized service provider can help you and could send you an older BIOS version.
    Two years ago I contacted the ASP in my country and got a early version of my BIOS for the A50

  • Clone of drive doesn't have the right name on option-restart

    I have created a clone (with Carbon Copy Cloner) of my principal drive in anticipation of both OSX 10.9 and because of Adobe's recent changes for their software (I need to keep the current versions of Adobe CSS) in case I decide to discontinue the monthly update charge we are now stuck with).
    The problem is when I do a option-restart to switch the system I want to boot from, the choices shown for drives has a different name for the cloned drive from what shows in the finder. The finder name is "Mtn Lion Bay 2" (a partion on disc bay 2 - Snow Leopard is on the other partition) but when doing the option-boot, the name shows as "EFI boot". Disk utility also shows the name as "Mtn Lion Bay 2".
    I have cloned drives before, but don't remember this happening.

    I'll assume that when you select the mystery icon in Startup Manager, you actually do boot into the volume you expect.
    You may be able to fix the problem by re-blessing the volume, as follows.
    Back up all data.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
    sudo bless --folder "/Volumes/Mountain Lion Bay 2/System/Library/CoreServices" --bootefi
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. Confirm. You don't need to post the warning.
    If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Log in as one and start over.
    You can then quit Terminal. Test.
