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!!!

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

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.

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!!!*
Bye

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 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.

Burned DVD does not work in all players

Hi all,
I am quite new to authoring my own DVDs, but since I married more or less recently I thought it is a nice idea to author a DVD with our wedding pictures for family and friends. So I spent enough time in iDVD selecting themes, slide shows, music etc. Finally a previewed everything and - yeah - happy.
So I wrote a disk image and burned this using the apple disk tool. So far so good. Mounting the newly recorded DVD workes perfect and the DVD player app works like no charm. Every menu, sound - as I want it.
Happy, running down to the living room and try it in the stand alone DVD player (Sony HD recorder) and - big disappointment. DVD runs, first menu pops up, and the slide show starts. But after the end, it does not return to the menu, it just keeps looping the slideshow. To make it even worse, the menu button on the remote just restarts the slideshow. What the f... is wrong?
Is there something I can to / configure to make it work correctly?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks & Cheers,
Daniel

Daniel,
On your mac, open the disc image with apple's dvd player application. Assuming it plays exactly as expected and there are no issues with scene selections, buttons, etc.
Now you can use apple's disc utility (or Roxio Toast) to burn it to dvd-r. I recommend Verbatim, Taiyo Yuden, or Maxell for best results. Do not exceed 4x burn speed.
Let's say you get this far and the burned dvd plays perfectly on your mac. Now it's time to try it out on a set top dvd player. Sony makes some fantastic dvd players but I would try other players as well. Best place to do this is at a store that sells dvd players like Fry's Electronics, Best Buy, Walmart, or whatever stores are available in your own area.
Hand the dvd you created to a salesperson at one of these stores and ask the him/her to help you test drive a variety of set top dvd players to see which ones accept the dvd in question. My guess is that it will work fine on most of these players but if not just come on back for more help.

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 X200: WLan driver does not work using WXP

Hi
I'm trying to get the WIFI working under XP on my Satellite X200. I've downloaded these "wlan-intel-1244-7147" drivers but still no luck, also after installing these drivers I get an error when I shut down saying 'Sample program not responding'.
This is a complete clean XP install, I gave up with Vista.

Hi,
if the intel drivers did not worked then try the atheros drivers which should then definetly work.
Cheers

HELP: Burning double layer DVD does not work as expected by project info

Hi,
I have the following problem: I created an new project in iDVD and choose the following settings in the project info: Video-Modus=PAL, Coding=HighQuality, Format=16:9 and DVD-Typ=DoubleLayer. When I saved the project and open it again the project info dialog shows me the following amounts of used space: 1867 MB DVD-ROM, 4595 MB Diashows, 128 MB Menus, 0 MB Film, alltogether 6,48 GB and 200 minutes of duration.
NOW: When I choose to burn the DVD it first tells me that I need to use a double layer DVD because the project is too large to be burned to a normal DVD. If I press OK (having inserted the DL-DVD), I am back in the standard iDVD editing mode. If I then have a look to the settings in the project info it is as follows: 3733 MB DVD-ROM, 4595 MB Menus, 128 MB Menus, 0 MB Film, alltogether 8,31 GB and still 200 minutes of duration. This obviously does not fit to the 7,7 GB DL-DVD so I cannot make iDVD to burn my DVD...
QUESTION: What happend ? Why doubled the DVD-ROM space ? In fact what I can see is that there are several diashows doubled and even lots of picture more than once on the DVD. Could it be that there is a trash somewhere implemented ? I cut and pasted some of the diashows to a different place on the DVD...
Thanks for answers and support.

In fact what I can see is that there are several diashows doubled and even lots of picture more than once on the DVD.
Do you mean "slideshows" instead of diashows?
Did you add anything to the dvd-rom section of the DVD? If not, you may want to check this section to see what's going on.
Also what does map view look like? Does it show anything that may have been duplicated?
Please tell us your current ecoding settings.
In other words, is the encoding set to Best Quality, Best Performance, or Professional Quality?
Lastly, is this Dvd made up of of only slidesshows / images? Or did you also add a movie/s with actual video footage? And if so, what is the total playback / run time of this Dvd in hours and minutes? (keep in mind iDvd doesn't look at size/s but rather total QT playback in minutes; not to exceed 120 mins per SL Dvd-R and twice that amount for DL media).

Downgrade using Snow Leopard install DVD does not work on iMac 27"

I have an iMac 27" (SMC version 1.54f36) that I wish to downgrade. I bought a 5-user Snow Leopard license. Now I'm trying to re-install from the DVD, but the computer won't boot on the DVD.
If I run the installer from the desktop, the installation starts, but when the computer reboots, it gets stuck. No alterations is done on the system disk, so I can hold down the Alt key and choose to boot from the system disk and I'm still on 10.6.5. For the moment I cannot find the discs supplied with the iMac, but surely the SL install DVD should work?? I've used it once before to do a clean SL install (I believe the iMac I have came with Leopard).
The version on the SL install DVD is 10.6 (2Z691-6558-A)
The reason for downgrading is that my Pro Apps (DVDSP and FCP) got a bit shaky when I updated to 10.6.5.

If you have a 27" iMac, it had to ship with Snow Leopard installed. See Mac OS X versions (builds) included with Intel-based Macs to confirm this, & Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac for why you should not try to downgrade to an earlier version.
If the version on your SL install DVD is 10.6, then it is an early version & will not work with your iMac. The current retail product version installs 10.6.4 & should work if your iMac is the "Late 2009" model. It probably will not work if your iMac is the "Mid 2010" model.
You need your grey system discs. They should be kept accessible wherever you use your iMac. If you have lost them, contact Apple about getting a replacement set.

Satellite P30: Power Saving does not work properly

Hello
I have a Toshiba Satellite P30 (with Windows XP) and I'm having problems with my Power Saving mode. When I use it for games and other high power applications it gets really hot on the edge of the moitor and shuts down.
It is been doing this for the last month or so. Before that there was absolutelly no problem. I've checked the TPSTrace file and got this error message:
A Fatal error has occurred. This program will be terminated. code: 0x0 Location:MainFrm.cpp(1317)
I don not know what to do with it and how to solve the problem. Any ideas?

Hi Thomas
It is not easy to give you any precise diagnostic but in my opinion your notebook is not hot because of power saver. Satellite P30 is pretty old notebook and maybe you should clean up your notebook.
Have you done this before?
This error seems to be serious and what you can do is to remove preinstalled power saver and after restart try to install it again.
Just for info: power saver tool is very useful but definitely not so important and your system can work well without it. Because of that I presume hot notebook is because of dust inside. With more CPU and graphic card activity hardware will be hot and it must be cooled properly. If the cooling grill is not clean this can not happen. at the beginning notebook will be hot but one day it will probably switch off without any warning.
At first step try to clean your notebook and remove all dust under cooling grill.

DVD does not work

I have a Macbook Pro 15" 2.16 GHz (A1211) running OSX 10.4.11 which cannot see its own DVD drive. System Profiler says that the hardware is there, but if you load a disk, it spins and clicks and whirs for a while, and then unceremoniously ejects the disk. I figured that this was a hardware problem, so I went out and bought a USB DVD drive, and got the same behavior! System Profiler/USB shows the disk, but disk utility and finder do not see it.
I am not an expert on internals of OSX, but I did check to see if IODVDStorageFamily.kext was loaded, and it is loaded. I tried out the USB DVD drive on a G4 PowerMac running OSX 10.4.11 and it cheerfully worked as expected.
I found some advice on this forum that said to first zap the PRAM (I did, and it did not help), and then replace the internal battery (which I have not yet done). I bought this machine in November 2006; would the battery be dead by now?
Thanks for any help you can give....

Justin:
Yes, it is an original boxed release. I just tested it on a different Mac, and it mounts fine.
Great. Try it in Firewire Target Disk Mode.
• Boot the other Mac in which you were able to boot the disk before in Firewire Target Disk Mode. It now becomes the Target computer.
• Insert install disk into Target Computer's optical drive.
• Connect computers via firewire cable
• Option Boot computer to which you want to install (Host computer).
• Select Install Disk for startup and click on the straight arrow.
• Proceed with Installation
