CD not read by 1800-400

Hello

After I correctly installed SuSe Linux 9.3 Pro on my desktop for a long time, I thought it would be good to give my laptop (Satellite 1800-400, CD drive is TEAC CD-224th-BA) a helping hand, by replacing with the same Linux Win2000, as mentioned above.

After a few additional copies of my Linux CD, I put a CD in my laptop and try to start it, but the computer freezes completely when I select the CD drive as the boot source. When I insert the CD in the drive while Win2K it does not freeze, but simply don't recognize.

The problem seems to be related to the material, since the reader seems to be impossible to read the CD at all, it does not create noise normal spin only a spin-up and then turns again to the bottom, and repeat a few times.

Everyone recognizes this problem and have a solution for this? I have already tested the CD on 2 other computers (desktop), no problem. Also, I have flashed the BIOS to the latest version, no change.

Hello

I think that as a first step, you should try some other CD in Windows and then use a bootable CD to see if the CD player has a problem in general or only with this CD.

Another thing: Linux is not supported by Toshiba, it will be difficult to find the drivers.

Good bye

    Hello

    I try to get the internal modem on my departure from 1800-400 of Satellite under Ubuntu Edgy. All other works out of the box except the modem software and I was wondering if one can be able to help with this.

    Hello.

    It seems that this laptop uses a Modem Chip Askey (Lucent)
    I see only one way to use this modem in Linux.
    You must look for the modem a pilot who takes in charge this chip and is designed for the installation of Linux.

    It s very difficult to find the right driver for Linux because there are a lot of different Linux distributions and not all drivers will work.

  • Satellite 1800-400: CD Rom is not working / can't use recovery discs

    Hello

    I have a satellite 1800-400. The cd present in Device Manager, but it does not recognize the cd is in the drive. I need to use the recovery cdsas the system was damaged virus etc. Is there a way I can work around the problem of cd player.

    Thank you

    Hugues.

    Hi Hugh,.

    When you try to start the laptop from the CD made in fact tru to access the CD-ROM or it directly boot from HARD drive?

    If the notebook is actually an attempt to boot from the CD but do not then it can mean that you CD-ROM is defective or that the recovery disc itself is damaged in some way.

  • Satellite 1800-400 ME upgrade to XP Pro?

    All successful one satisfactory to a Satellite 1800 400 upgrade or similar (384 MB of RAM, 20 GB HD, 800 MHz Celeron) of Win ME?

    Would prefer to upgrade to XP Pro, but pure install 2nd choice.

    If I have the HD format for a clean install, an updated XP version would recognize the recovery CD Toshiba a legitimate copy of the ME - I've heard that there may be problems?

    I have the intention to upgrade the BIOS and collect all the drivers available for this model proposed by Toshiba for XP, but will there still be problems with all the material?

    Toshiba drivers must be loaded in a special order, and that is during or after installing XP?

    XP is likely to be faster or more slow/about the same thing as ME, with above hardware specifications?

    All advice welcome, because I have not upgraded the OS on a laptop before, and the potential problems seem more important than with desktop computers.

    Hello

    I put t not see why Windows XP Home edition should not be working on your device correctly. On this forum I have read many topics where users present on Windows XP Home edition on the old models as yours.

    Please see the download page for Toshiba under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp and you will find drivers for Windows XP Home edition.

    After installing WXP install display and sound driver first. Then install other drivers of material. The next step is installation of Toshiba stuff:
    Common modules
    Controls
    Energy-saving
    Public services.

    It is important to install common modules like the first.

  • Satellite 1800-400: How do I install the driver for graphics card

    Hello

    As I mentioned in the topic I downloaded a graphics card driver
    http://be.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com
    for my Satelitte 1800-400.

    The problem is that the Once unzipped downloaded zip file does not contain a Readme with some information or an .exe file to install.

    I have no idea what to do with it, but I need the driver car-DVD playback is disappointing.

    Thank you in advance.

    Hello

    Well, if the folder doesn't contains all .exe files, then you should try another option.

    Go to Device Manager and select the graphics card. Then right click and choose the option install or update driver. Then choose the driver source.
    This procedure should work properly.

  • Satellite 1800-400, ERROR! F3D failed

    Someone can help me troubleshoot above?
    First of all what does this mean?
    I had a very small Satellite 1800-400 with me running. I was convinced that it was full of viruses so wanted to start all over again with the recovery disk. All I got was this error.
    In addition, it is said software being installed, please wait and a 0-100% bar. (nothing happens)
    Being a novice surf autour, I picked up a new BIOS @ this site. After the install was not successful so I used the command chgbiosa on the a:\, this gave me a command prompt to enter the biosfile in and I have upgraded to version 2.2 (I really thought he could help silly)
    Retry the recovery disk didn't give no solution so I'm really looking forward to all the solutions to this disaster.

    Hi sms,.

    Sounds strange! Is the recovery CD in good condition? Is this perhaps a scratch?

  • Satellite 1800-400: cannot run/install applications after installing XP

    I bought a Satellite 1800-400 for my daughter for her school work, formatted, installed XP pro, and when I tried to install the software for a wireless card (3Com) for internet access, he said only: "the application failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.

    So I tried another card (Belkin) software it says "D:\ is not a valid Win32 application". So I tried to install the printer software and he says: 'the entry point of procedure not found in KERNEL32.dll dynamic link library.

  • DVD player not working not not on Sat 1800-614

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite 1800 614 3 years ago, provided with a DVD player. At this time there is no problem to read the DVD. I did not use it for a while and when I tried to use it I discovered that it does not read new DVD, I can see the movie but the two images and audios are dispersed and disrupted last year. It only works with the old DVD (2001-2002) and DVX and so on...

    I was told that it is because they changed the format of DVD or something like that. Can you help me to fix it? Is it possible to update the BIOS any help? Maybe the firmware? You know the one that I need and where I can find it? I tried to update the drivers for DVD but it seems that he does not accept the change. Do you know how to update the drivers too?

    THANKS TO ANYONE WHO CAN HELP! I HAD THIS DVD PLAYER AND I NEVER GOT TO USE IT!

    Hi abgolf3,

    The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

    Mark a partition as active

    Format a hard drive or partition to NTFS format

    Hello. My Bookmark star icon does not read my favorites. I can always use it to record the new bookmarks, but I don't see the 'old'. My Favorites are still there, but the star remains white when I open them and shows them as not saved. Thanks in advance for any help!

    Some added addons toolbar and anti-virus are known to cause

    When the star is to check the Bookmarks Manager, he must control

    Or the sea address have changed. I'm not aware of entries to the

  • Optical drive will not read anything else professional films

    So, I am owner of a 2012 MacBook Pro 13 ". The computer comes with Intel Core i7 processor and has the maximum of 8 GB of Ram. The problem is that the optical drive that is built into the computer will read nothing else done professionally movies. It can read disks of movies like the Lord of the rings and Wargames, to name a few, I tested, but it will not read any DVD-R disc or to a CD. I tried the CDs as Metallica music... And Justice for all after try in another computer and a radio and get good results when it just won't play on my Mac.

    I have had this problem in the past , but at the time the optical drive not read anything at all. This occurred in early December and I fixed it on 20 December. To solve the problem, I went to the Apple Store and they can Reset the P - RAM. The Apple guy he told me to make sure to disable every night. I did this because it's what I did in the past. After that, I was able to play any CD or DVD and burn them. I also tested it every two weeks by playing a DVD in there to check that it still works. But I discovered that it was broken again when tried to insert a DVD-R to burn things on it and the computer only it spun and then ejected it. I've known this current problem since around mid-April.

    I did some research on it and what I have read I believe that I must buy a cleaning disc and run it in my optical drive to clean the lens of the eye out, but I don't understand how I am able to read some disks and not others if that is the problem.

    Can I take it again in the Apple Store and get it looked like or should I buy a cleaning disc and run it through my optical drive, and then decide what to do next? I'm in no hurry to get this problem fixed because my guarantee does not expire until the end of July this year.

    I don't know why you want to put some words in BOLD and a few words in normal font. Frankly I find it a bit annoying when someone does something like that, but oh well... what you could do is to try a cleaning disc (the one with little brushes this topic) or a good breath of air compressed. In addition, some brands of DVD - R Virgin do not work as well as others. I found verbatim to be good, maybe maxell or Taiyo Yuden. Your mileage may vary...

    If this still does not work, feel free to zap the pram x 2-3) and do an smc reset. Shut down the computer, plug power adapter, hold down the left shift, control, option, and button works / stop for about 45 seconds, let go of all of them, then press the power button to restart. If none of this works, then by all means to make a genius bar appointment and bring it in to your local Apple store. Hey, if you have an extended warranty, might as well use it, right?

    Good luck
