Satellite L30 PSL33E: After downgrade to XP DVD-RAM doesn't burn

My notebook (Toshiba Satellite L30 PSL33E) came with Windows Vista but it is very slow with this OS and one of my friends downgrade my OS to XP.
But now my DVD-RAM doesn't burn!

Please check this:
Access the DVD-RAM properties (right click & properites).
There you have to choose the TAB called recording.
Then check if the option Enable CD recording on this drive was marked!!!

Satellite L30 PSL33E won't start at all - LED flashes six times

Hello,
My poor mother is quite distraught! Her Satellite L30 PSL33E has just died.
It completely shut down and now won't start at all.
Orange light flashes six times when the power button is pressed.
No hard drive, fan, screen or any other noise / activity.
She has tried it without the battery.
Some sort of hardware failure I imagine.
Any ideas what this blink code means?
Thanks in advance,
D.

I dont know what the code means but you can read it; short means 0 and long means 1
Anyway, the error code means that an hardware fault was detected on the motherboard and only the motherboard replacement could help you?
Why?
because is really hard to repair a notebooks motherboard.
Its mostly not possible if you dont have enough knowledge, experience and special tools.
I think either you will contact the ASP in your country and will ask for a fix or you will have to buy a new notebook ;(

Satellite L30-10Y: Checksum error after upgrading to 2Gb RAM

Hi
I have a Satellite L30-10Y ^ months ago I upraded the RAM to 1.5Gb by adding a 1Gb RAM card to the 512Mb card supplied this worked fine.
I also upraded my sons Hi-Grade lapto with exactly the same specification of RAM which also worked fine. So I decided to up grade my L30 10Y with another card of the same specification to bring it upto 2 Gb as specified by TOSHIBA.
I booted the computer to find the hay presto after the start screen The Following message appeared *"_The file is possibly corrupt.
The file header checksum does not match the computed checksum_"* The computer then froze and I turned it off.
Checks I made Tried both cards in both slots No change, 1 card in both slots (one slot empty) Works fine. Other card in both slots(works Fine) Sons Card in my computer both slots (works fine) All three cards and 512mb card in all configuration of both slots and cards(works fine). All three 1gb cards in all configerations of cards and slots back to error message and some time 1 long beep and 2 short ones.
Yes the cards were installed properly. Cannot alter anything to do with BIOS although this can be accssed. Cannot run from dvd drive although I can select it.
Went back to 1.5Gb and reinstalled all OS from Toshiba recovery disk tried all over again same results. Running windows vista home basic, Bios is the latest download. RAM is compatible. Sons cheep Hi-Grade accepts all RAM in all Configurations no bother OS windows XP.
Can anyone think of anything I have not tried or should I just go and by a hi-grade computer?

Hi Eldorado
Thanks for your reply, 2 of these modules were bought 6 months ago from the same company at the same time (company Offtek) who do a computer scan and provide the modules specific to your computer, and even then I checked the specification of the modules against the upgrade that Toshiba who also scanned my computer on registration and the modules are DDR2 533MHz (PC2-4200) 200-PIN SODIMM . The Third module came from the same company with the same specification.
I am very sure that all three modules will be compatible to the computer, and the specifications does not require the modules are matched pairs like the old sd ram. So what we have is a computer that will run two completely differnt modules of different sizes made by different manufacturers possibly slightly different specs, but will not run two modules from the same manufacturer made at the same time with exactly the same spec.(Must be a break through of innovation for Toshiba!)
I think the beeps may have been a little misleading as these did not accord every time I started the computer over the many tests I did, I still have to look up what these codes signify. I tried looking in the Toshiba knowledge database but I think it's empty or they just don't have any knowledge complete waste of time or I don't know how to use it.
My next step its to contact Offtek and see what they suggest, Find out what the Header checksum is and what it is supposed to report and find out what the computed checksum is and why it does not match. One more thing I did notice that in the BIOS it did not report the full 2048mb it only reported 1984mb of RAM but I think this may be that video memory uses part of this. *_Unless someone out there knows something different_*

Processor upgrade on Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

Hi,
Does anyone know whether the L30 (PSL33E) supports core 2 duo?
And if so, has anyone tried it?
(also, have noticed that newest bios for these online is v2.60 and mine is v2.80 from new)

Hi,
No I dont think it is possible because of the chipset. The chipset could not handle the new cpu. The other thing is:
How do you want to install it? Do you know the instructions how to exchange the cpu in a mobile system? Its not the same procedure like in a desktop.
I did once and I had many problems, especially with that "microcode" thing, because you will need a special DOS-based program which writes the microcode of the cpu into the bios due to the features of the cpu.
This program is only available to toshiba technicians and I didnt get managed to get a copy of that program.
So just forget your idea and benefit from my experience (and dont waste money and time :) )

Satellite Pro U200 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the sound after installing Windows 7 on a Satelite Pro U200 (PLUA1E). No Win7 sound driver found on the Nordic driver website. Please help.
G.Magnason

Hi buddy,
Have you already checked the Toshiba website itself?
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
I found a sound driver for Vista 32bit and the most Vista drivers also work on Windows 7 so its worth a try!!! :)

Satellite P100-257 - No sound after Win 7 installation

Need help...
I have Satellite P100-257, upgraded from XP to WIN 7. Now my sound device don't work.
I installed driver, but still nothing. In device properties says: device not installed.
However, when I run diagnostic, says that driver has problems and that problem will be fixed after reinstalling driver.
So, it keeps me in the loop all the time.
Tried download some drivers from net, even buy Toshiba Recovery Disk for my model (payed 15$ !!!! for gad's sake!!!!)...
Now, my knowledge here is limited, so any tips, suggestions, solutions are more than welcome!
Thanks!

Thanks m8!
Acctually, after 2 days cracking my head about it, I was this close to buying new machine :)
But, solution was acctually more simple than I thought...And felt so stupid after I finally figured it. Well, Win 7 is more similar to XP than it is to Vista, so I just run simple chec for XP sound drivers on Toshiba download support web site, and it came with one driver for this specific model: *sound-20071106151533.zip* driver. Just needed to check in driver properties for compatibility (XP service pack 3 mode) and simple install...That was it... Run smoothly on WIn 7.
Sometimes, only solution is the simplyest one :)
Thanks anyway!

Satellite Pro A10: No sound after upgrade to Win XP Home SP2

Hi,
Just used the recovery discs on my Sat Pro A10, no problem with sound, and then upgraded XP Home to SP2, no sound.
From what I have read elsewhere, this is a problem, and there doesn't appear to be an answer. I have spent hours searching for updated drivers to no avail.
I have also contacted Toshiba support, after much huffing, and puffing they pointed me to the following driver, 5.12.01.3542, which is the same as the one I already installed, and does not work.
Surely there must be something out there that works.
Ant.

Install the newest available sound driver fro this sound chip and perform the all the Windows updates available on the Microsoft page!
Update simply the whole OS!!!

Note; possibly you have to reboot the notebook and have to connect to this site several times to get all the available patches.

Satellite U300 - 11y - No sound after installing win XP, SP3 rc1

Finally got my U300 working with XP, but I can't get the sound working. Appropriate drivers are installed, but nothing. The hardware was working under Vista, so this seems to be a driver problem. I think the realtek installer for somereason doesn't completely finish the configuration.
I followed advice as given on
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=99567 but no luck.
Getting pretty nervous now, as I need sound for Skype in my business.
Thanks guys,
Tim

Hi!
I had the same problem when trying to install XP on my U300. I now regetfully deleted the files I used, which is a shame - I did not know others had similar problems.
However, if my m serves me right, the second patch suggested by Pedro (KB835221) is the correct one.
The first one is the theoretical fix for HD audio, but SP3 RC1 will not allow its installation, since it thinks the patch is older than the service pack itself.
The second patch appears to be the same thing, but modified for SP3 to accept it.
The second patch should work, and after installing it, you should be able to install the sound drivers normally.
Hope this works for you!

Satellite P35-S6112 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

I installed Windows 7 on this Satellite P35-S6112 with a Realtek AC97 sound card in it. The card and drivers are working but there is no volume. I can hear sound with a headset very faint. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, attempted update but I have the current drivers installed.
Troubleshooting has been done and system reports no issues. I am in desparate need of help here as my daughter needs this for her college as her other notebook is in the shop. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

I have checked US support page and this old notebook is not supported for WIN7 so Im glad to hear you have installed Win7 successfully.
If the sound card driver is installed properly I dont understand what do you mean with there is no volume. Can you use speakers symbol in task bar and change speakers sound level?
Click also on speakers symbol and open Playback devices. Can you set Speakers to be default device?
Which OS have you used before Win7 installation? Have you noticed the same problem?

Satellite P100-429 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

I have a Satellite P100-429 Purchased Nov 2006.
I have just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and Office Pro Plus. All works well but there is no sound if I try to play a CD. I have done usual checks for Mute etc. but no Joy. In device manager a yellow triangle with exclamation mark within is against my sound device. C
an I download a new driver to solve problem or is it more complicated than that? Than you

Hello
For me it sounds like that you didnt install the sound driver for sound card
According the Toshiba website there is no 64bit sound driver available for Satellite P100 but I noticed that Satellite P300 supports Windows 7 64bit and has Conexant sound card too. Maybe this driver is working for you too.
Just search for Satellite P300 drivers and test the sound driver It should work! :)

OS installation problem with Satellite L30 (PSL33E)

Hi all.
So I have been given a laptop by my firiend to fix. Now what he has told me is this. He was playing a game and the laptop froze. He held down the power button and restarted the laptop. Upon restarting the laptop it said windows recovered from a serious error. After this he could log back onto his computer. So he used the toshiba restore cd but this only fixed the problem for a short while.
Now when he gave it to me I booted it and as it tried to load vista it says there a missing file: wdsuti.dll and i got an ErrorCode:0x3E7. I looked this error up and from there I formatted the drive and tried a fresh install of vista.
Vista installed fine to the point where it asks for a restart as soon as it restarted it failed to load again.
Now I've tried other disc's like the XP disc I ahve to install XP and then use the vista upgrade disc but the same thing happens.
At the moment im trying another installation of vista. It has installed vista but is running very very slow and took forever to install. Upon its first boot it crashed and came up with this error message:
Windows Failed To Start
file: windows\system32\config\system
status: 0xc00000e9
Now Im stumped with a PC im fine as I can take the parts out and swap them etc.
My guess the hard drive is dying.
Am I right or could it be another problem?
Any help would be much appriciated.
EDIT: Also to note I did reset the BIOS to default settings and I am now currently running Windows memory diagnostics tool.

Hi Richard
I agree with you and think it can be because of hard disc. I have had similar problem on my old Satellite notebook. Suddenly the notebook was slower and slower. I was able to install OS but after short time I have noticed the same.
I have checked HDD and there were so many defective sectors. I presume the same situation is with this notebook. To avoid service try to obtain some used HDD for test purposes.
Sorry but I do not have other idea what you can do.

Satellite A200-20H - No sound after Windows 7 installation

Hey Guys.
I have just bought this computer from a mate, and I have decided to install Windows 7 on the machine. Everything seemed to work brilliant, until I wanted to try and play some sound. There is no sound what so ever on the laptop, all the sliders are at max, I have tried pushing FN+ESC whit no difference. I have tried reinstalling and updating soundcard driver, no luck either.
I found a "soloution" which said I should install Value Added package, and then run an app, which should unmute the PC, no luck there either..
So I am starting to run out of ideas?
So I am hopeing one of you clever guys in here has a soloution.
If you need any info from the computer, just ask for them and i will reply whit them as soon as possible.
Big thanks in advance
Kim Jensen

Well thx for the soloution, well an attempt to a soloution as the sound is still missing.. I did a total reinstall again.. I installed the Value pack as the article told me, and i ran the sound utillity program.. Still there is no sound..
I have just tried putting some headphones in the computer, to see if sound would come out of those. That didn work either...
Any ohter good ideas? =)

1) instal the soun driver from the driver package given in toshibas support site
2) go to control panel->system->hardware tab->device manager
there you should see a monitor like icon with a yellow warning sign "PCI device"
3) try updating drivers for this device selecting from the list hihg definition audio.. it should get working, at least it did for me!

Satellite Pro 4600 Missing Sound After Installing Windows 98SE

I have installed Windows 98SE onto my 4600 whose specs are:
Model PS460A-04163
P850 14TX 128M 20 DVD ML
I have no sound at all and all sound options are grayed out. I have downloaded a sound driver from Toshiba (Yamaha AC-XG ?) but maybe it was not the correct one. Can someone point me in the right direction for the correct sound driver. I'm also not sure what "series" this model comes under. Thanks for your help. Sep.

Thanks for that. I have tried the Canadian site however the model type I have (PS460A) doesn't exist on their search selection drop down for Part Number. Perhaps it is know as a different model in other countries (I'm in Oz)? Maybe it doesn't matter and I can just pick one of the other 4600 models - I'm unclear on this. Can anyone confirm? Thanks again.
