USB malfunction on P10-304

I have P10-304, well it was workin fine till a couple of days back when while printing, the printer showed an communication error msg. thought i tried to switch it on n off it didn't work, i tried to unistall n then reinstall the printer but on installing the computer does not recognize the printer, though the printer can be installed on other comp. i tried an alternative printer but it too won't be recognised, the device manager reveals the usb ports are ok, but still the comp doesn't recognise new hardware i try to install via the usb port.
whats wrong guys

Hi
I guess you tried defferent USB ports? I mean connect the printer to the other port/s you might have on the PC?
Same problem?
If yes, then please try something more simple like a USB mouse or keyboard. Still same problem? If yes, then it smells of a hardware problem but to be sure recover the PC. !!!Please note!!!: all data will then be lost!!
If No to closest above question, is Your printer also drawing power from USB? Maybe you should try using a AC Adaptor-driven HUB between?
If No to the topmost question, then try a different USB port and then check the other tips in my text above.
Good luck
Tom

Toshiba P10-304 crashing, hdd problems?

Hi All,
I have a Toshiba P10-304 and its recently been going a bit mental.
I am running XP Pro and basically it first started crashing frequently and then later it came up with the error : media test failure, check connection , etc. As a result, I figured the hard drive had died. Since then I have bought a new hard drive (seagate momentus) and it formatted fine and was working well for 2 days. But now on the 3rd day, it has started to display similar symptoms as my old oem toshiba drive. It tends to crash frequently, the hard drive continues to make a horrible ticking noise even with the system has crashed. It also for the first time displayed the same 'media test failure..' error messages but then on reboot booted fine, but only to crash again about 5 minutes later.
Ive just finished university and am doing a spot of web design and its really annoying me so I would appreciate any help.
Cheers,
Idnan

Hi,
it can be that the IDE controller is defective, this explaines why the new HDD have also problems!
The only thing you can do is contacting a Serivce Partner for a checkup!

What internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304

Can anyone give me an answer to what internal DVD+/-RW will work with my Satellite P10-304.
I've been told a SDR-6012 or a UJ-820 DVD+/-RW might work.
Please help
Thanks
Lee

Hi
Did you check the user manual of the P10 Satellite?
Sometimes the compatible CD/DVD drives can be found in the user manual which should be installed on your notebook.
If you dont have the user manual then you could download it from the Toshiba page.
However, if you will not find the right info in the user manual then I would recommend contacting the ASP in your country for details.
Usually you could order a supported drive from these guys.
Its important that you know what drives are compatible due to the different master\slave\c-sel settings.
Bye and good luck

Satellite P10-304: WLan card replacement - Do I need the same Wlan chip?

Hi all,
got a satellite P10-304 from a mate here.
He said the wireless has never worked on it and hes had it years and someone else has already looked at it and changed the wireless card TNA.
Basically it just acts as if the wireless switch isn't working and it stays permanently off although the drivers install fine and the card shows as ok. Just disconnected.
Now I thought, ok, i'll take a look as I'm pretty good on the old hardware. Took it apart and what do you know, the switch was bent and not in place. I put the switch back into place, checked in the on and off positions with a multimeter to check the switch was working and it was doing its job perfectly.
Now it still does not work.
I am guessing this is now due to the fact that as I said, the card has been changed from its original to an intel pro jobby.
My question is, am I right, do I just need to get the same card that was originally in it. I assumed that when the switch was put back correct I would have it solved.

Hi
The WLan card should be enabled bu switching the switch to ON position (the LED should light up) and additionally you should chose the WLan antenna using the key combination FN + F8.
Please check this!
Note; go to device manager -> Wlan card properties -> Advanced tab
There you can check if WLan is enabled as well.

Satellite P10-304 Won't power up now

Hello,
Got Satellite P10-304 machine which won't power up after 2nd attempt. What happened:-
Machine powered up from cold start - booted up Window XP ok. After 5 -10 minutes, machine screen went dimmed (looks like backlight have gone) and couldn't power off machine by pressing power button, so had to remove the battery pack to kill the power into machine.
Now, machine won't power up (even battery pack fully charged), When I pressed the power button, I do get a orange light flashed once inside the blue light circle area around power button.
Leave machine powered off for about 1 hour and machine started up in BIOS screen and then after 3 mins screen went dimmed again. Machine won't start up again! Checked AC adaptor and getting 19.3Volts and 6.1Amp so power supply unit ok.
Sounds like the motherboard is playing up and needs replacing? Dose anyone come across this problem before?
Many thanks

Hello
> Sounds like the motherboard is playing up and needs replacing?
Yes, it seems so :(
Maybe its not the mainboard but another hardware part. But to be honest you should go to an authorized service provider. The technicians can check the notebook to determine what is exactly wrong.
And here you can search the nearest ASP:

Satellite P10-304 DVD/CD-RW drive to slow

Hi
My P10-304 has a 24 x speed dvd/cdrw drive. Burning a full cd takes 10-12 minutes. That's far to much. I'm using Nero Burning Rom, but i think, that has nothing to do with it.
ps. I use highets burning speed, have a lot of free space on hdd, use good cdr.
Can anyone help?

Hello
I have the Satellite P20 and it has, I believe, the same drive like your P10. I can really not say that the drive burns too slow. I dont know which kind of data you burn but in my opinion 10 min is normal time for burning whole 700 Mb on CD-R/RW.
Bye

Blue Screen of Death and USB malfunctions on HP Envy running Windows 7

Hello.
I have an HP Envy 14 notebook PC. It's running Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, version 6.1.7601. When I run it, I eventually starts getting an error message from the right of the desktop toolbar telling me that a USB device I plugged in is malfunctioning and did not get installed correctly. This is happening while my USB ports are empty.
As this is happening, the computer also starts playing background static that you can hear over headphones as well. This sound goes away once you mute the machine. After plugging the computer into a monitor to play sound through its speakers, there is also a curious effect; after I remove all the cords and plug in earphones, I hear amplified booming sounds from small movements, rather than what is meant to be playing. This latter effect goes away once I restart the computer,
Eventually, the computer displays a blue screen and crashes. The blue screen asks me to disable BIOS memory options such as caching and shadowing. Once the machine restarts, it informs gives me the following report:
Problem signature:
Problem Event Name:   BlueScreen
OS Version:   6.1.7601.2.1.0.768.3

It also gives me the option to check for solutions. Doing so closes the screen and gives no further information. Please advise as to how to address these issues.

I have the same issue you have had. This happend to my old hp, I thought it was a fluke so when I bought my new hp envy a year ago I was dumbfounded to see that its happening all over again. This time my hp envy 14 is doing the same thing yours did with the same code and all. Can you please tell me what you did to fix this or were you even able to fix it at all?

Problem connecting ipod-Error says USB malfunct & winXP does not recognize

Please can someone help a non-tech savy new ipod user. I have loaded the latest itunes, but not only does itunes not see my ipod, I get the following windows error when I plug it into the USB port. "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned and windows does not recognize it". When I click on this, it says no drivers are loaded for this device. I have followed the 5Rs including the windows updates with no luck. If anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

Already done that. The USB port is 2.0 and is on the back of my computer and i am not using any dock or external hubs. The cable i am using is the one that came with my ipod when i bought it.
I connected the cable to ALL the USB ports just in case the one i was using was not working properly but the error continued. I also check that the USB ports are not protected (meaning the USB port is blocked and recognizes the ipod as a virus). I also deactivated the firewall just in case it was blocking itunes or the apple mobile device support.
I've done everything and i am freaking out!! Please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!! thanks anyway lllaass

HP Deskjet F2480 - USB Malfunction?

Hello!
I have just set up a HP Deskjet F2480 printer on my Mac due to my other PC breaking. When I went to add the printer it said 'Kind: USB Malfuntion' (image). However, I continued to add it as a printer and try and print a document. Whenever I attempt to print it just gets stuck on 'Ready to print' (image).
I am using Mavericks 10.9.4 and have a late 2012 21.5" iMac.
Thanks in advance!

Actually, it says "Multifunction", not "Malfunction". That is correct, it is a multifunction printer.
Let's reset the printing system:
- Go to System Preferences > Print & Scan
- Right (or control) click in the rectangle listing your printers and select Reset Printing System.
WARNING - this will delete ALL of your printers!
- Select the plus sign to re-add a printer. Select the Defualt tab on the top of the window. Look for the printer, select it and then next to the "Use" pulldown, select the printer model (not AirPrint). Wait until the "Add" button becomes available. Click it.
Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.
I am employed by HP

USB Malfunction N70

Using:
Windows XP
PC Suite 6
USB Cable (Nokia)
Hello
I have installed the Nokia PC Suite 6. However, when using the Get Connected Wizard no phone is recognised when connected to USB cable. Moreover, occasionally when I connect the USB cable with the N70 attached a speech bubble reads - when detecting new hardware - that the USB connection has malfunctioned. Confused. Any ideas on how to resolve this and establish a PC/Phone via USB cable connection would be most welcome
HJ

Go to Windows device manager and see if the phone+cable when connected are visible there. If unknown USB device or unknown device with ?-mark appeares, highlight and uninstall it with mouse right click. Disconnect phone.Boot PC. Start PC again, try again.

SOLVED - USB malfunctioned, and windows does not recognize it

I have been using my IPAD2 for months (LOVE IT). Today, when I plug it into the same WIndows 7 Laptop I have been using for months, An error message says
USB Device Not Recognized.
I Powered off & On the Ipad, no help
I plugged it into a Windows XP computer that I have used before, same message.
It is NOT and Windows 7 Problem (because same message on XP)
Device Manager is probably not the answer as it fails on 2 machines to which it has been previously connected.
It has nothing to do with ITunes (error comes up with or without Itunes Loaded)
I am very reluctant to do a full reset on the Ipad because if I can't get windows to recognize it, then I cant use my Ipad at all (HORRORS!)
Any suggestions?
Update: SOLVED.
I was plugging in the Ipad through the Ipad Stand. I took the Ipad Stand out of the equasion an it worked fine!

Here:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
I would start with
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
or
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP

Usb malfunction?

so when i connect the ipod through usb to the laptop, it does not read my "ipod". Therefore i am not able to add or remove songs from the ipod. Yet, with the ipod schuffle, it reads it...
would it be the usb cable for the ipod mini, causing the problem? The thing is, is that it worked less than 24 hrs ago when i was last on my laptop. I've reinstalled itunes, restarted the computer several times... still nothing
any solutions...?

Try Resetting Your iPod while it's connected to the computer. Hold down the Menu and Select buttons until you see the Apple logo. This will often get it recognized. It may take several attempts.

Question about WLAN antenna on Satellite P10-304

Which way round do the antenna connections connect to the mini card?
How do I enable the switch and light?

Hi
The WiFi is optional on this notebooks series. This means that the WLan and the Wlan switch which is on the left notebook side can be upgraded through the upgrade program or from an authorized Toshiba service provider.
So if you have no switch and cannot enable the WLan then you will have to contact the ASP for an upgrade!!!
Otherwise you can switch to the external solution like WLan USB stick!!!
Seems everything is clear now!!
