Satellite L300 - VGA output does not work

I am attempting to set up a media center via my Toshiba L300 laptop by connecting it to my VIZIO 37" LCD via the VGA (RGB) port to the component in the TV.
I connected it all up, but the TV consistantly says "no signal".
Is there something that I am not doing properly?
The control panel also says there is only one monitor installed on the laptop and I am told that there is supposed to be two installed as the TV serves as one of them.
Can someone shed some light on this for me?

I did however get it to work properly via a VGA (RGB) cable directly to the back of the TV. There is an input jack in the back of the television and it's working properly that way. I'd still like to use the component cables though if possible due to rendering better quality. Thanks again.

Satellite L300 (PSLB8C-0H901X) does not work

My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8C-0H901X, does not work, no power, no POST, nothing, Get power and charge lamp when pluged in nothing else, any known issues? Any fixes, Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm sounds like a serious hardware issue.
If you are a lucky man the issue could be related to RAM module.
The RAM modules can be replaced easily. The memory bay is placed at the bottom of the unit secured by one screw.
But the question is if its really related to RAM.
Well, you will know this if you would replace/check this
Otherwise I recommend asking an professional notebook technician for a help

RH 5.5 output does not work properly in RH 7

I inherited a WebHelp project created in RH 5.5. I have RH 7.
When I open the files, make modifications, and recompile them, the
output does not work properly once I put it on our hardware box.
Those infamous red squares are present and there seems to be a lot
of .js files being called, but even when I do a straight 1:1 copy
and include all the files, and delete the red squares, it still
doesn't work right.
Also, oddly, when I open the original (5.5) files in my v7 --
even without making ANY changes at all -- the TOC has
disappeared.

When you view the upgraded source files in RH7, are the red
squares seen the editor?
When you generate to a local folder and view the output
there, are the red squares present? Are there any other issues with
the generated output?
Have you applied all three patches to RH7? Help About should
show 7.0.3.

Satellite U400 - the webcam does not work anymore

Hello guys here is my sudden probloema!
About a year ago I purchased a laptop
TOSHIBA - Satellite U400
with s.o. WinVista 32bit and with integrated webcam chicony etc. ....
For a year, everything worked correctly, but for some days now, the webcam does not work anymore.
As soon as I try to open it, a message of management software cam that says "Webcam driver open fail, please restart or computer room"
I tried to do it all: aggioronato and downloaded the drivers from toshiba, uninstalled the program and re installed the webcam ....! updated bios notebook ....! useless!
the strange thing .. well that going into device manager ... the webcam is not there ....! but if the launch seems to open just then check quell caz ... Warning!!
Gan you help me?
Graziee

Are you familiar and comfortable with LINUX LIVE bootable discs to load an alternative operating system with unobtrusive but extensive Toshiba device support so you can determine if your webcam hardware is ruined or if the problem is software and possibly solved reinstalling Windows ?
At this point, you're pondering less time consuming but more expensive choices such as buying another web cam, or another computer and you might be temporarily borrowing someone else's web cam / using a non preferred spare web cam that isn't optimal for your needs.
Continuously downloading software, registry cleaners, and repeatedly reinstalling drivers will eventually ruin your Windows installation and consume more time than you've wasted so far and still doesn't guarantee to fix your malfunction.

As of Firefox 4.0 and newer one needs at least OSX 10.5+ and Intel hardware.
The latest you can use on your Intel with OSX 10.4.11 is Firefox 3.6.25 (released recently) which can be found at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
If you were to update to say OSX 10.5.8 then you can use Firefox 9.0.1

After Recovery with CD Satellite C660-1FE keyboard does NOT work

Hello,
A month ago I purchased a Toshiba C660-1FE. After three weeks my HD broke down. I bought a new HD from Western Digital and replaced the broken HD. As I did not make an recovery image of my HD, I had to order the Product recovery discs off the Toshiba website (3 discs, of which disc 1 and 3 were the only one's required for installation).
Now, I have the problem that my laptop keyboard does not work. I am currently using a USB keyboard and mouse to replace my keyboard and touchpad of the laptop.
The laptop keyboard works fine in BIOS. Therefore, I hope it's just a driver problem.
I have:
tried finding and installing lots of drivers on from the toshiba website, no result.
tried changing settings in the bios (usb enable/disable).
tried to fix the problem by re-installing the entire computer again several times.
The keyboard seems to work until windows loads. When the system is starting up I can press caps lock and num lock and the green lights come on. This all stops working once the windows startup symbol appears.
Perhaps a second problem in the device manager: under the display-adapter, 2 subcategories have exclamation marks: it says Mobile Intel(R) 4 series express chipset family twice! I can't seems to fix these with any drivers I can find either. When I check the settings I have this message (google translate since it was in dutch):
+The digital signature for the drivers for this device is required, can not be verified. Possible after a recent hardware or software change a file that is installed incorrectly signed or damaged, or is malicious software installed from an unknown source. (Code 52)+
+You need to restart the computer to this device changes to take effect.+ (obviously I tried that too)
Can someone please give me some help? I am at the end of my wits.
Sincerely,
Daniel

Hi MisterX,
thank you for your response. I have tried these things and there is no such thing as PS2/keyboard in device manager. It's as if the Hardware is not even recognizable in windows. I am starting to doubt whether I got the right Backup CD.
I wrote the following e-mail to [email protected]:
+Dear Toshiba,+
+after receiving the recovery CD's for my toshiba c660-1FE, it turns out that the drivers for the keyboard and touchpad are not installed. I have tried many things to get around this but it seems to me that I have received the wrong product recovery CD's. The chipset drivers are not the right ones, the overall layout of this version of windows 7 is different from before and when looking for answers in the toshiba forum I have concluded that the recovery CD's could be the wrong ones.+
+My laptop: Satellite C660-1FE+
+serial: 5B378048K+
+Part-nr: PSC0LE 02M0TU26DU+
+Recovery CD's I received are CD's 1-3 with serial R14254DU+
+Would you be so kind to check whether these CD's should be 100% compatible with my laptop?+
+This would be greatly appreciated,+
+Daniel+
MisterX, do you know any other emails I can forward this too? Or anyone who could perhaps tell me if I got the right CD's? They are taking their time to respong to this...
Kind regards,
Daniel

Satellite P200D-12o - subwoofer does not work

Recently I bought Satellite P200D-12o. Subwoofer does not work. It seems that the notebook does not see it.
Please, tell me what have I to do!

Hi guys
I think the issue is related only to the wrong sound settings.
In the product flyer is something mentioned with Toshiba Bass Enhanced Sound System with Dolby Home Theater.
This is a sound feature enables the Dolby virtual speaker.
In my opinion you should check if this feature was enabled.
To enable the Dolby Home Theater do the following:
Go to Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Sound
Mark the Speaker -> Properties -> Choose the Dolby tab and check the "Dolby Home Theater".
Unusually this should helps!
PS:
There are different notebooks models and not all are equipped with a subwoofer.
In my knowledge there is an speaker at the bottom of the unit but *this third speaker indicates only the BIOS beeps. Its not a subwoofer!!!*

Satellite A110-228 LAN does not work after hibernate

Well, subject says it all, really. The LAN (wired) network does not work after hibernate.
It seems it cannot find the DHCP server, so after a while it gets a 169.* address.
After a reboot, the network functions as usual (gets a IP address from the DHCP server)
Tried the usual things, disconnecting the cable, disabling the LAN device, battery or AC adapter, the behavior is reproducible.
The wireless network will be restored after a hibernate.
It needs a little help though (right click on the icon and "recover" or whatever it is called in English)
Any suggestions?
Wilm Boerhout

Hi guys
In the Toshiba HW setup which is placed in the control panel the options Wake-up on LAN and Built-in LAN should be enabled.
I think the options are disabled by default.
Furthermore the default setting for Wake on Settings is OS controlled. To use the Wake-up on LAN function under power off mode, in the device driver for the network card under the menu point Wake On Settings the Value Wake on Magic & Directed must be set.
Please check this how to enable WOL (first time use):
1. Go to [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> [Toshiba HWSetup] -> [LAN] tab
2. Enable Wake-up on LAN
3. Click [Apply]. System will request to reboot.
4. After the reboot go to [Start] -> [Control Panel] -> select [System]
5. On system properties dialog box select [Hardware] tab -> click [Device manager]
6. On Device manager dialog box select [Networking adapters] -> double click [Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection]
7. Go to [Advanced] tab -> select [Wake On Settings] property -> Select [Wake on Magic & Directed]
8. Press [OK] to close the dialog box.

Satellite M70-181: Wlan does not work

Hello,
I am in New Zealand at the moment and a couple of weeks ago I changed my bios password but forgot it. To solve that problem I send the laptop to Toshiba in Christchurch and they reseted it for me. But since that day my wireless does not work. When I turn it on not even the light goes on. It's not shown in any of the normal places (as in the network enviroment or how ever you call it).
Could it be any problem with the hardware and is it easy to fix by myself cause I don't have the time to wait till they do it in Christchurch again.
Thanks for any answers

They might have damaged wifi card antenna inside you computer. If you have technical skills you could fix it by yourself, but if you don't just send the laptop back, and let them check it again.

Satellite A30 - CD-ROM does not work properly

My CD ROM does not work properly because of corrupted drivers. I have tried uninstalling etc. How do you load new drivers or even reformat from the recovery disc when the CD ROM drive won't work?
Seems like catch 22. Anyone help?

If it is really a problem with the drivers for your CD-Rom, you can recover it.
Because you need to boot your Notebook with the Recovery CD/DVD.
This has nothing to do with missing drivers in the Windows Operating System.
And if you can not boot with the Recovery Disc, I would say your Disc drive is broken.

Satellite L300 1BD - VGA output is not working

Hello.
I have a Toshiba Satellite L300 1BD (Model PSLB8E). I was usinng the VGA output to connect to my LG tv. It worked fine until last week. All of a sudden the TV doesn't get reckognized by the laptop anymore. The TV says that no external device is connected. I have tried different things: starting up with the TV connected and not connected through the VGA cable, pressing the FN+F5 button, removing the battery and pressing the powerbutton, checked for the latest videodriver, removed the existing driver and installed it again...unfortunately without any result. I also tried to hook the TV up with a different VGA cable, but no result. It's not the TV, because i did try to hook the laptop up to a TFT monitor and it didn't work as well. Tested the VGA cable with my friends laptop: it works perfect.
The strange thing is: if i hook the TV up to the laptop, i can hear the laptop is making the 'new hardware detected' sound and the laptopscreen even turns black for a second, then everything appears back on the laptopscreen. If i check the graphic properties with the rightclick on my desktop, i can see that they are no set for 'clone device'. As if the laptop knows, something is connected, but just can't transfer the image to the TV screen.
The graphic adapter is a Mobile Intel 4 Series Express Chipset family.
The OS is Vista Home Basic (32).
It's a shame the VGA output seems to be out of order since i watch tons of video's and movies through my laptop on the TV screen. I don't know if this could be a software or a hardware malfunction. If anyone has an idea or some clue, please let me know. Thanks in advance!
Marcin.

I have exactly the same L300 19F with the same graphic adapter, only with Windows 7 Ultimate (32) and was watching DVD's through my Toshiba TFT TV-set/VGA Monitor for a couple of years as well as all of a sudden it doesn't work anymore. The same as the gentleman who started this thread I checked everything there is to check: my laptop/another screen, another laptop/my screen, drivers, new cable, even installed the (original and licensed) W7 OS again etc. etc. etc. TO NO AVAIL !!!
Since this is the first time that I can't solve a technical computer problem in more then 25 years I got mad and started to think what the heck I did different over the last few weeks, and now I think I know the culprit.
One day, a few months ago, I saw a warning in my screen to flash my BIOS with a new upgrade from the Toshiba website. Having seen that message for several months I did not give it much attention because everything worked fine, and the reason given for the update was a quote "password protection update" unquote, a function I don't use anyway and that's why I didn't run that fast.
After a while I decided to flash the BIOS, just to get rid of the annoying message and now I am quite sure that it really did kill my VGA output capabilities.
So, instead of the nice "Check your Power Cord" and "Go to the Official Toshiba Dealership" hints, maybe there is some technical solution. Maybe there might even be a nice technical Toshiba person have a look into the BIOS update and what the heck the differences are with the old one.
At the very least you could offer a "downdate" of the current valid BIOS for this type, because everything used to work pretty good and, as a 25 year long time customer of Toshiba laptops, I could be entitled to a little better (quality) answer.......
My friend Marcinondrums and I still have hopes.
Thank you !!

Satellite L300-1DN: battery does not charge

Hi,
i bought a Toshiba Satellite L300-1DN less than a week ago and its worked fantastically.
This morning i was using it, battery go low so i plugged it in to charge, which naturally when fine and charged up.
Went out in the afternoon, came home and started using it again.
When the battery got low i plugged it in and about 10 mins later realised it was still getting very very low and did not display it to be plugged in!
I figured the wire had came out the adapter as it does, but it hadn't.
Ive tried it now in 3 different plug sockets with the laptop on and off but it will not charge!
Is it a charger problem or laptop problem?
Thanks :D

Hi
Can you start the notebook with AC/DC adaptor only?
If yes it seems to be a problem of your notebook (maybe the mainboard) because the AC/DC adaptor works properly (you can start the notebook with AC/DC adaptor only).
So you should contact the nearest authorized service provider. They can check the notebook and exchange the mainboard if its necessary.

Audio digital output does not work.

I'm having a hard time with this problem. I have a Toslink cable to plug the iMac with a a/v receiver. I plug the cable but the iMac won't recognize it and in sound preferences it will show that it's headphones and no sound is coming. Same cable and same setup works perfectly with the Macbook. As soon as I plug the cable to it, it shows that it is digital output in the sound preferences.
In short, the problem is that the iMac does not activate the digital output when the toslink cable is connected.
Any ideas about how to solve this problem? I am crossing my fingers for not having a hardware problem.
Thank you in advance.

Have you tried looking for a bit longer miniplug adapter for the Toslink? It is that the digital plug is a little longer that it can activate the switch inside.
If not, it is under warranty. Arrange to have it looked at.

Satellite P300-19F DVD does not work

I have a Satellite P300-19F with Win Vista 32 bits Home Premium SP2.
I am unable to read any DVD. It does not show a corresponding drive letter.
If I go to the device manager under Control Panel - System, it recognizes a Pioneer DVD-RW DVRTD08A, but has a warning sign on it. It says that configuration is damaged.
I uninstalled it and reinstalled without any success.
I downloaded the drivers from Toshiba and did not solved either.
What can I do to solve the problem?
Thanks.

Hi resteves_1,
I had a similar problem with my CD/DVD drive. There was an error code in device manager on ODD so I followed the instructions on the Microsoft Knowledge Base to remove the upper- and lowerfilters in registry and after that the problem was solved! :)
I would recommend this too. After this your drive should work again properly!!!
