Toshiba 32c3030d Television freeview problems

Hi,
My TV has decided to stop displaying freeview. (DTV input).
Terrestrial TV works okay, BBC - channel 4, as do all the other inputs, ie: HDMI1 and , PC etc.
I thought it could be just a signal issue ,however on i cant even select the menu option on DTV without it dropping off the screen after 2 seconds.
The display alternates every few seconds between black and darker black,(like the display has completely turned off)
Just so strange as all other inputs are fine!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Kieron

Kieron,
Surprised more people not on here with this problem. Have contacted Toshiba - the problem is common. The set requires a factory software update. I telephoned them and despite the set being nearly 3 years old they have arranged collection - they'll supply the box, fix and return at no charge!! The service number is on the Tosh website.

Can you plug it in? If so, it will work.

TOSHIBA NB550D-111 Recovery problem due to swm error

I own a NB550D-111 (preinstalled W7 Starter SP1 32 bit, av Security Essentials), used mainly for browsing, chat and Skype. Following the july updates, the OS began greeting me with blue screen at every start. I choosed "Startup repair", and after some 20 minutes and one restart, the OS was up and running. The next restart, the same scenario. Every time I ran "Startup repair", sometimes 3 or 4 times to get the system working.
I did a System Restore, but no luck. Still the same blue screen at startup. I ran Check Disc at startup from Command Prompt with /F and /R switches, no errors found. After four days, Startup Repair was unable to solve the blue screen even if I spent almost 4 hours restarting and either choosing Startup Repair or do System Restore.
I went to Restore Factory Settings OS from the recovery partition. I wanted to keep My Documents folder, I changed the location to the second partition). Imagex gave an error at 70% applying the image (a .ttc file that cannot be copied), and after reboot BOOTMGR was missing. I used the usb recovery stick made shortly after I bought the netbook using Toshiba Recovery media creator, wich wiped clean the HDD (eventually lost my files, that's it), re-partitioned and copied the .swm files in the HDDRecovery folder. When applying the image to C: partition, Imagex also gave an error at 70%, the same ttc file.
I installed a clean copy of Starter, installed SP1 and updates and activated online using the serial number from the COA sticker. At first the newly installed OS was incredibly fast (I have only the drivers and Flash Cards installed, no other application from Toshiba), but after the SP1 update the boot time trippled. From my previous experiences with Windows XP, a slipstreamed SP installation of Windows behaves better than one updated with windows update. I'm thinking of a way to reinstall the Toshiba Windows, even full of bloatware as it is, then stop the programs I don't use trough msconfig and services.msc (just as I did in when I bought the netbook).

Update:
I installed WAIK and the supplement for SP1 of Windows 7.
I got errors when saving the modified wim. I needed to change permissions and owner (Trusted Installer) in the Windows folder, and after copying the files restore old permissions. The modified wim was saved but at unmount left behind in exactly the folders I tangled with in Windows folder. The other modified folders were saved with no problems.
So, I tried a modified metod 1:
Downloaded 7-zip portable, expanded and ran once in a folder on the second partition (D:) of the HDD.
Created an USB bootable stick with WinRE image found in the HDDRecovery tools.
Booted from USB, started 7-Zip from command prompt. Opened the SWM file and copied all the files in the second folder to the C: partition. Using 7-Zip as a file manager, I replaced the corrupted files with their good variants stored also on the second partition. This time no problems, all files copied ok, no need to change permissions.
Rebooted from HDD, BOOTMGR missing. Booted from USB, the instalation was found and repaired (in two stages). After another reboot from HDD, I was greeted with the "Preparing your computer for the first use". The factory installation took more than 2.5 hours (installation of drivers in the sysprep phase was very slow), instead of a half hour for a clean installation. At the end of sysprep (just before OOBE phase), after reboot BOOTMGR missing, resolved again as indicated earlier.
It took another 3 hours to uninstall bundled Nero, McAfee and Windows Live +applying updates and installing usual programs.
Hope this will help someone in the same situation.

Bogdan

Toshiba 46xv640u lcd audio problems

I have been trying to get the audio settings set up but am having problems. I have run an HDMI cable from my PS3 to my Toshiba LCD and am receiving sound but not all channels are coming across. Dialog is missing.
The movie is Dolby Digital audio 5.1 channel AC-3.
I been through and through the manual but cant seem to get the settings right. There are some settings in audio setup that are greyed out and not available to adjust.
In audio setup for example the following choices are available:
PC audio: yes/no
HDMI audio (if yes for PC audio is selected then the default choice for HDMI audio is digital) ( if no is selected for PC audio then I can select either auto/digital/analog)
MTS is greyed out so I cant adjust
Dolby Digital dynamic range is greyed out
Man this has me pulling my hair out. Anybody ever run into this?
I'm wondering if it's my PS3 settings but this PS3 has worked with other equipment without problems, I just moved it to this TV and I cant get the right sound so I dont know what to do.
It shouldnt be this difficult

You would think that maybe a Toshiba rep would visit here and answer questions. I cant imagine I'm the only person who has ever had this problem. Chirp chirp chirp

Your model belongs to part-number family PSLB8U, which corresponds to European-models' part-number family PSLB8E.
Go to the European download site and look up the Satellite L300 with Short Part No. PSLB8E.
When you filter for Windows XP, you'll find there are 35 drivers, utilities, and so forth listed.

Toshiba A660-1 General Problems

Hello there,
My name is Diego and I have had some troubles with my computer lately. I recently did a backup of all my information and reinstalled Windows 7 on my Satellite A660-1 since it was running slow. However I have had some problems since then, I will list them here in case anyone can help me with them.
1) First of all, my top splashboard is not working, I mean the touch sensitive buttons on top of the keyboard where you find the Wifi button, the increase/decrease volume, etc.
2) Until one day ago, my Wifi was working well, I installed the drivers and it was running smothly, however, now my Wifi connection is not working. The computer tells me to "activate the inalambric connection functionality". Since the sensitive buttons do not work I cannot connect the wifi using them. I press "Fn" + F8 and it does not work as well. The strange thing is it was working until yesterday and I did not change anything, there were only Windows Updates that happened when I was turning it off. (Ethernet connection works very well)
3) My touchpad moves the cursor but it does not "click".
4) When I press Alt + Tab it does not change screens, however, when I use "Windows" + Tab it does.
5) When I open the volum control icon on the bottom right the line that marks where the volume is starts moving up and down like crazy. This is just a detail since volume works well, it just called my attention.
Well, this is it (for now ) I am really interested in at least solving point (2) which is the wifi problem, the others are important but not so much. If anyone has any recommendation I would really appreciate it.
Thank you in advance.
Sincerely,
Diego
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello there, I fixed it myself, thanks anyways.
In case anyone has similar problems, I read in another thread something that worked for me.
1) Disconnect Batery and AC Adapter
2) Maintain Power Button 30 seconds without releasing
3) Connect everything
4) Turn on computer
5) When Toshiba screen comes on, quickly press F2
6) Then press F9 - Yes and then F10 - Yes
Hopefully it will work for you too.

HDMI monitor, detected as television, causing problems

I have an Acer H233H monitor that is connected to a 2010 mini via HDMI. In display preferences it is detected as a television. This is causing problems with some games. The games will only let me choose 50hz refresh rates, when the desktop is running at 60hz just fine. Is there a way to force my monitor to be detected as a monitor instead of a TV, so that I can choose from proper resolutions instead of 1080p?

The monitor sends a signal to identify itself to the device to which it is attached, the EDID. So it appears that your monitor is telling the Mac what it is. The Mac can only go by what it is told.
What does the user guide that came with the monitor say regarding the refresh rate. Can the monitor even use 50hz?

Toshiba Satellite battery/AC problems?

After days of agony, I broke down and order a new AC adapter and battery for the Toshiba Satellite from Amazon (which cost about $20 for both, new, including free shipping; Toshiba wants over a $100 for the battery and nearly the same for the AC adapter). Anyway, I also ordered new systems recover disks (which cost more than both the above two items). After going through hell--since the instructions on the disks didn't work--I finally got the new system installed--no thanks to the instructions. But the problem is this: when I boot up with just the battery, everything works fine. When I tried booting with the AC adapter plugged in, it doesn't boot up. Both the battery and AC adapter are new. What's going on?

yes, unfortunately Peter. But it's not worth it. New ones are about $329 at Office Depot and it still works in Safe Mode with Networking with the AC plugged in--which makes me think it's a driver problem. Ah well, It's a better option than having it serviced.

Toshiba Gigastore 250 GB: Problems to delete files

Dear all,
I can't delete files from my Toshiba Gigastore anymore. Every time I try, the following message appears: "Cannot delete. Access denied. Source is probably still open".
However, the files are not in use when I try to delete. I tried to delete after a reboot, and tried as admin. Nothing works.
The problem started to occur after the Gigastore got disconnected from the computer (hot plugout).
My OS is W2K SP4 (with the latest security updates). The GigaStore didn't run properly from the beginning, as it is not possible to disconnet the USB when the system is running (this problem is known and described in the user manual).
Howe can I overcome the problem without reformatting the drive? Maybe it is possible to boot linux and delete files on the GigaStore? Is that advisable, as linux doesn't seem to go along well with NTFS?
Many thanks in advance,
Led
Keywords: Toshiba Multi Media Center Gigastore 250 GB, delete, file in use, Windows 2000 SP4

Hello,
many thanks for your advice. The issue is solved now.
Going through your replies, I investigated why the files could not be deleted. I found that something happened with my user rights since the hot plugout: The system just 'took' the 'write' rights from existing files. However, I was able to read and execute existing files, and write _new_ files.
A subsequent login as Admin with re-assignment of 'write' rights worked fine. (However, I am sure that I have tried this earlier, but it did not work at the time).
Again, many thanks for your help. Best regards,
Led

Toshiba has a real problem with overheating & customer care across the board

So, my perpetually overheating X505-Q896 finally got sent in for repairs...the price to replace the video card which probably finally died because of the poor heat dissipation? 800. 800 for a 4 year old replacement PC graphics card including labor and parts surcharges (they're asking another 150 to replace another plastic piece which they're reporting "broken"... no clue what that is) you've got to be kidding me. not only do they pop out a poorly designed original machine, but when it's in half runnable state they let the secondary repair middlemen (the toshiba after warr repair guys) RAKE YOU OVER THE COALS. so, do I bend over and spend 800 on a 4 year old machine? or pony up a grand for another gaming laptop? neither are great options. You can bet one thing, if I buy a new machine you can bet your bottom dollar it WILL NOT be a toshiba. They discontinued the Qosmio for a reason. And if you plunked 1.5k or whatever into it I hope you get good use out of it. when I get it back it MIGHT Be able to play videos for my kids. 800!!!!!!!!!

I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
thanks again

Toshiba M305-S4910 internet problems

I bought a Toshiba M305-S4910 last night and everything works great but when I tried to exit out of my internet explorer 7 several new screens of the internet would open. Everytime I tried to close one, like 10 more would open. the only way I knew how to correct this was to totally log off because they just kept popping up. It happened like three or four times last night. I have a Belkin wireless G router and was using that as my internet signal. I have used this before with my work laptops and have never had this problem. I really don't want to have to take this in to the store so any help would be appreciated.

Stop visiting shady websites and use a popup blocker.
This is not a problem with the machine, it's a problem of the website you're visiting (and to a lesser degree, IE in general on ANY machine). Many "less reputable" websites will spawn popup ads, AND those popups will spawn more popups when you try to click out of them.
Mozilla Firefox has a built-in popup blocker that should be sufficient. It's also, in general, more secure than IE.

Toshiba A205 4777 Recover problem

Hi,
I was trying to recover the factory default settings on my Toshiba A205 4777 laptop and it is getting stuck while recovering the files. I tried this serveral times and Iam encountering the same problem. Can anybody help me in solving this issue? is there any problem with the hard disk? pls let me know
Thanks
Sai

Satellite A205-S4617
The computer freezes up randomly..
..with the recovery factory disk, bringing the computer to the original configuration (out of the box state) (Problem not solved)
If it happens just after restoring the hard disk to its original contents, then it's surely due to a hardware malfunction.
Test the memory.
How do I know if my computer has a memory problem?

A system disc can be used for these repair options also, in your case if the DVD drive is not working you can use an external dvd drive if you have one.

Toshiba Tecra M9 Bios problem

Hi,
Cant change in Tecra M9 bios boot from cd or flash. PgUp and PgDn not working there, buttons work in all other aplication in windows except Bios. HDD now formated, cant setup anything to PC.

You will need to take the unit, along with your proof of purchase, to the nearest Toshiba ASP and have them remove it. There is a special way the password needs to be removed and only Toshiba or one of their ASP's can do it. You should also take the police report with you.
