Toshiba a305-s6916 problem with touchpad burning my hands

This is a great laptop but the touchpad overheats alot. my hands feel burned and red after about 2 hours of use. Is there anyway to deal with this issue? all thru the product reviews for this model you see this being mentioned. so i think theres a defect with this model Kinda a health hazard i think.
Has anyone from bestbuy contacted toshiba about this matter?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

There's a few things that could be. One of the largest possibilities is a faulty heat sink since the problem seems to arise after prolonged use.
If you've had the computer for under a year or have a service plan from Best Buy, you can take it up to the Geek Squad Precinct and they can check it in for Diagnostics to replicate the problem.
If there is a problem, they can have the computer sent to either the manufacturer or their service centers to remedy.

Problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1. Acer Aspire E5-511

I bought an Acer Aspire E5-511, but I have problem with touchpad and Windows 8.1.The touchpad (Synaptics) is not working with Windows 8.1 x64, but it works fine with Windows 7 x64 and Windows 8 x64.When I install Windows 8.1 and have to choose” language to install” I can’t choose anything with the touchpad. I should plug in my mouse to continue. I doesn’t work even when it’s fully installed and with latest driver (available only for win 8.1 x64) from Acer’s website. I tried with an older driver, but had no success. I updated BIOS, but it doesn’t work again. In hardware IDS in device manager it shows HID\… not ACPI\… (like win 7/8). Fn+F7 doesn’t help.When I try to install Windows7/8 the touchpad is working properly at the beginning (I can choose ”language to install”, “Time and currency format”… and the touchpad works after install even without driver).

SOLUTION So guys after deep research and troubleshooting I found that you need to keep notice of a few things at time of installation: Installation Mode: UEFI (only)- LEGACY would create touchpad issues. after installation of windows just follow the driver installation hierarchy 1.Intel NB_Chipset_M Baytrail-M 2.Intel I/O Driver then rest of the crap. Note:After doing all this make sure your touchpad is active >> Fn+F7 Just wished if this solution came from an acer executive , the world would have been a better place , but anyways this is what community is for. Enjoy everyone

Problem with Wave Burner

Hi
I'm having a problem with Wave Burner hanging when I try to play audio files. The last time I used it, several months ago, all was well but now after importing my audio files and pressing play the program hangs up and can only be closed with force quit. This also happens opening saved files which played previously. Logic and Pro-tools are still working fine. No problems there.
Im using a digi003 with Core Audio. Logic 8.02 OS version 10.5.8. I mac 2.66 dual.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

I thought I'd try this again
In Wave Burner if I select the internal audio as playback it works. It's only when I select the Digi003 as playback that it hangs. It used to playback through the 003 fine.
Anyone?
Thanks!

How to reset the BIOS to solve a problem with DVD burner on Satellite P100

Hi
I am trying to reset my cmos to solve a problem with my dvd burner.
I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completly inoperable.
After much searching I have heard to reset cmos.
I have treid through debug and nothing happend. I don't really want to open up the laptop and pull the cmos battery out or leave it for a month until the cmos battery runs out.
Is there any advice on what I should do.

Hi
What you want to do is simply not possible you said that you had some problems with PCs and you fixed it.
That's great. But a PC is simply different and cannot be compared with the notebook
> I was trying to run an old game that I own that was protected by starforce and ran starforce nightmare with has made the device completely inoperable.
According to your statement above you CD/DVD drive issue could be related to the installed starforce nightmare. I dont know this but I presume this software/application has changed or destroyed the CD/DVD drives firmware.
Sorry but I see only one way to get it working again You have to contact the ASP in your country. Maybe a technician would be able to rescue the drive
PS: your Satellite P100 PSPA6A series seems to be a Australian series therefore you should use the Toshiba Australian page if you need some drivers or BIOS

IMovies problem with Ken Burns effect.

When I use Ken Burns effect in IMovies, the bricks of a house, the line of a shirt, ... are kind of vibrating. In Aperture 3, it is ok. Is that a known problem with IMovies ?
Lombarr1.

I have seen that in older editions - like iMovie 6 - especially when using pics at a high resolution - the water or sky seemd to shimmer. Funny I'm using iMovie 11 now and some things I liked better in 6, but you bring to mind something that bugged me (though people would ask - "How did you get that to happen?")

PS- NO problems with burning cds or importing cds before I UPDATED!!

I had the same problem although they didn't occur immediately after moving to a new drive but only after upgrading iTunes.
Anyway, what I did was
-delete "com.apple.iTunes.plist" from your Library
-start iTunes and configure it to use the default settings which among others will use your Home for storing the Music folder.
-when it's up and running change the Preferences/Advanced to use the Music folder on your external drive.
-accept the dialogs
Worked for me - ymmw

Problems with 2011 Kia Forte hands free following upgrade to ios 7.1

I have had nothing but problems with the Bluetooth hands free feature in my 2011 Kia Forte ever since I upgraded to IOS7.1. I have removed and repaired the device to no avail. I have discovered the following behavior through the troubleshooting I have done so far:
If I use hands free to dial, the phone will dial but nothing is heard on either end of the call. If I switch the audio feed from the car to iPhone, both parties can then talk, but as soon as I switch it back to the car there is silence on both ends. I have determined that streaming Bluetooth audio still works in my car in spite of the hands free issues. I can switch audio back and forth during the entirety of the call and as long as audio is set to either iPhone or speaker it works, it just won't work when the car is selected.
I have checked and there is no new firmware available from Kia for my vehicle's Bluetooth.
Any thoughts?

Same problem for me after the update. No matter what movie I try to download, it stalls halfway. Interestingly, could be a wider iTunes issue as I ended up with the same problem trying to download movies to my MacBook Air.

Tecra S1 - problems with touchpad after BIOS-update to 2.50

Hi,
after the BIOS-update to version 2.5, the touchpad doesn't do anything. Starting in the docking station, the optional PS2 mouse works without any problem. Starting undocked, the touchpad doesn't work anymore. Normally - before update - the touchpad started it's work immediately after undocked booting.
What can I do to reactivate the touchpad???
Wanky

Hi Jeffrey,
thank you for your tips!
First I tried the hotkeys. All hotkey combinations work successful - except for the touchpad key F9...
After reinstallation of the touchpad driver, undocking the Tecra and disconnecting the USB-mouse I started with the Toshiba HWSetup tool to switch the functionality of the pointing devices to simultaneously. After installing the touchpad driver and repeated booting of the Tecra -> no progress.
After all examinations, no step further... I'm tired...
If you have another ideas, please let me know.
Kind regards,
Uwe

Problems with Ken Burns effect

Having a very frustrating time trying to get a decent slideshow. Like the KB effect but when I play it back the images jerk and jump. Smoothness totally
gone. Strange thing is sometimes it is worse than others. Have tried closing all
other unnecessary programs to save RAM , etc...does not help. Sometimes it
looks ok played in iphoto but when I send to idvd the jerking is back. HELP.
When going through process have about 250MB free and 10 GB on disk.
Also when I export a slideshow (size-large 720X480)to Quicktime image
quality degrades considerably. All I want is a decent dvd copy of my honeymoon
pictures but can't seem to accomplish this. Am very disappointed at all the
grief involved in this...any help would be greatly appreciated.

Greetings Old Toad.
It seems that a fair number of users have run into this same problem over recent months: namely, producing a slideshow with audio from iPhoto with the Ken Burns effect creates a "jerky" movie as a result. The advice I have seen is to either clean up your hard drive or get more memory. I consistently run into this problem even though I have a 1Ghz G4 iMac with 768MB main memory. I have tried this on my root drive with about 7GB available and on a firewire drive I have with ~30GB available space. I have also tried using Cache Out X to clean up caches and other various files, and still iPhoto produces jerky results.
The one workaround that has worked was to turn off audio. That seems to fix the problem, but I do want audio in these slideshows to put onto DVD. Others have suggested using iMovie to add the audio track, but reading in the output of iPhoto into iMovie seriously degrades the quality of the video -- not to mention that it is a very slow and tedious process to do this.
I would like to point out that this was not always the case. Unfortunately I cannot pinpoint the exact time when this started happening, but I could swear that I had been able to create slideshows in this manner before one of the many iPhoto upgrades I automatically received over the last year. I now have version 5.0.4.
Have you heard of anyone successfully fixing or working around this problem? I love my Mac...and this is one of the fundamental reasons I switched from Windows a few years ago was for the great photo tools. But now, without the ability to make DVDs the way I want, I am considering switching back .

Problem with DVD burning

I was trying to burn DVD with GUI it failed multiple times, so I tried with growisofs, but problem is the same:
:-[ WRITE@LBA=10h failed with SK=5h/INVALID ADDRESS FOR WRITE]: Invalid argument
if I try again it shows
:-[ WRITE@LBA=0h failed with SK=5h/WRITE PROTECTED]: Input/output error
so this process just destroys my DVDs
Do you know what may be wrong? I use same DVD type as before, same burner, same software (I was able to burn one, then it stopped to work). I tried even reboot and power off, nothing seems to work.

I'm having a similar problem, I didn't bun DVDs for some time just to see that now I can't anymore...

Problem with a burn

I created a project in iDVD that looks great while previewing in iDVD. I tried to burn it several times and it gets to the end and gives me a multiplexing error (something about progress error). The movie I've got going in is a .mov file from First Cut Express. Really frustrating to wait 20 minutes 4 different times to get the same result.

Hi
a. How did You go from FinalCut to iDVD ?
I do. In FCE/P Export as QuickTime.mov
NO - QuickTime Conversion
NOT - Selfcontained
b. How much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hadr disk
Mine have a minimum of 25Gb when working with iDVD. IMPORTANT
c. What brand and type of DVDs did You use.
I only use Verbatim
Only DVD-R
d. Burnspeed ? The one on the DVD pack (auto selecting)
I do set it down to x1 but may be x4 is OK - x16 gives to many errors on my disks
Else read.
*Not knowing the origin to Your problem - General approach when in trouble is as follows:*
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk if it is less than 10Gb should rather have 25Gb
• Hard disk is untidy: Repair Permissions, Repair Hard disk (Apple Disc Util tool)
• Delete iDVD pref file - *or rather start a new user/account* - log into this and re-try
• Program miss-match: iDVD 5.0.2, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK - DON’T work under Leopard
• Program miss-match: iDVD 6.0.4, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• Program miss-match: iDVD’08 v. 7.0.1, Mac OS X.4.11 AND QuickTime 7.5.5 - is OK (might work under Leopard)
• iDVD (08) v7 Locate theme folder. Move out iDVD1, iDVD 2 and eventually iDVD4 folders to desktop - re-try
• Try a Cleaning CD/DVD that cleans the laser lens on the DVD burner/player
iDVD 6.0.4 and iDVD 7.0.1 are compatible with Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard
iDVD pref file resides: Mac Hard Disk (start-up HD)/Users/"Your account"/Library/Preferences and is named:
com.apple.iDVD.plist
While iDVD is NOT RUNNING - move this file out to desk-top.
Now restart iDVD.
Last resort: from Craig: Solved the problem!! Finally!!
I deleted every iDVD application and folder from my boot drive,
emptied the trash and then installed iDVD 08 using the customize option
and I am up and running.
Yours Bengt W

Re: K7T266pro2 Board mod - Problem with DVD burner/DVD ROM

Hi there!
I did the mod and installed a Athlon XP 2400 (T-Bred) on my board. Everything worked perfect, I had the 3.7 bios and it recognized the processor correctly, same for WIN, Sandra etc. System is stable, temperature are much lower compared to my old 1700XP.
But there exits a problem and I am not sure if it's related to the removal of the cap. First my DVD burner and my DVD-ROM stopped working and after thorough testing (different combinations master/slave/CS...) I thought they're broken and got a new DVD burner. But after installing this one - sampe problem.
This is the problem: The bios does not recognize the burner when it's in "auto" setting, it does so when doing autodetection in the bios. Then it says "DVD" for the respective IDE channel. But the drive does not react. If I press eject the lamp on the drive starts blinking but nothing happens, the tray does not open. Sometimes the drive is listing in WIN but it's not accessible.
All my HDD's work fine even on the same IDE channel.
Does anyone encounter a similiar rpoblem or have any idea how to solve this? I am sure itt must be a bios issue (to test I have flashed the 3.74 beta bios but problem remains).
Thanks.
Cheers
P.

Hello! I tried to reply, but was thrown out of the forum without passing "Go". In short:
Have only one optical drive in.
Make it Master at the end of the cable.
Disable DMA for it.
If this one works now, continue with the next.
Don't re-enable DMA till both are working.

Problems with touchpad and trackpoint (Edge E430)

Hello!
Please help me, I've tried uninstalling and installing the UltraNav drive without success.
Block trackpoint, and even use a regular mouse.
My problem is as follows:
The Trackpoint cursor is moving alone. After disabling the trackpoint, I could use the touchpad for a normal time. Then the cursor touchpad is also moving alone. And the same happens with the mouse.
Furthermore, the lower right touchpad button does not work as secondary click. Works just like the left, a standard button click. And sometimes not even working.
Please help me! This is bothering others. I have to hold the trackpoint cursor to stop moving alone and to use normal mouse.
Windows 8.1 64, ThinckPad Edge E430, core i5.
Thank you!

Yeah, the only soluton is going to be if they are going to decide to refine the drivers or something like that. Tried BIOS, no luck. Problem comes and goes. Really hope they at least try to update the drivers because so many people have this issue. Yeah I had one random restart and then, it has not happened since, so I am pretty much only concerned with fixing the touchpad or getting it to work properly.

MSI 6380 Problem with DVD burner

Hello
I have a prob with my new DVD burner. Maybe someone of oyu has any idea what could be the prob.
I have an Athlon XP 2400 (T-Bred) on my board (MSI Kt7 266, MSI 6380 v2). I have done the C37 mod and removed the cap. Everything worked fine. Processor correctly recognized etc.
First my old DVD burner and my old DVD-ROM stopped working (means they didn't react to any commands anymore, I pres sejecct and nothing happens...) and after thorough testing (different combinations with correct jumper setting master/slave/CS..., new cable...) I thought they're broken and got a new DVD burner. But after installing this one - sampe problem.
This is the problem in deatils: The bios does recognize the burner in autodetection in the bios or with the setting "auto". Then it says "DVD" for the respective IDE channel and during bootpu it shows the correct name of theburner (LG GSA-4163). But the drive does not react on commands. If I press eject the lamp on the drive starts blinking but nothing happens, the tray does not open. It blinks a few times then blinks a few times very fast but nothing happens. The drive is listed in the explorer in WIN but I cannot access it. Also, the device manager shows no problem. All my HDD's work fine even on the same IDE channel.
Does anyone encounter a similiar rpoblem or have any idea how to solve this?
Thanks.

I got another psu, more powerful then my old one. Same problem though. Can it be that this is the third optical drive in a row that fails?
Strange is that with the new psu (3,3-28A, 5V-35A, 12V-26A, 410W combined, ANTEC Truepower) my hardware monitor shows that for all the power the values are lower compared to my old psu. It shows 3,26 V 4,9V and 11,7V repsectively. With the other psu all values were higher. Is that an error or does this new psu suck?
