CD stops working on my Satellite Pro 4200

Hello!

I have an old 4200 satellite. After years and years of obediently obeying all my requests my mes CD-ROM CD stop working yesterday. I tried to take a look if I can replace it all by myself, but I did not even manage to get the CD broken out of the laptop.
Anyone have an idea how I can get the drive of the laptop?

Thanks in advance,
Fabian

Hello

Systems Satellite Pro 4200 is not know me but more often on most laptops the disk is fixed with a screw at the bottom of the unit. If you find any screws so I guess this one must be placed under the keyboard.
But if you have no a lot of computer experience I recommend to contact Toshiba service in your country. It can give you a few details how to replace the drive.

I have the drive is dead you will need a new. Please note that not all drives are compatible with all laptop. In this case, you can order a decision-making support and also compatible with the Toshiba service partner in your country.

Good luck

  • Keyboard stopped working on my Satellite Pro C660 2JD

    Hello world

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C660-2JD.

    The keyboard has stopped working, it only works when the keyboard screen is selected as soon as I close the screen keyboard that it stops working. I plugged another keyboard that doesn't work or only works of the mouse and the keyboard on the laptop works ok. I used the Ubuntu live CD, and the keyboard works with it, but not in windows.

    I have restored the laptop to factory settings and also make a clean installation still does not work only when the screen on the keyboard keyboard works. Does anyone have any ideas of what is the problem? It seems that something prevents the loading keyboard driver.

  • Built in mic has stopped working on my Satellite Pro T130

    Dear Forum,

    the microphone of my Satellite Pro T130 15F stopped working a couple of days at a time.

    It captures the white noise.
    But he responds only to knock on the place where it is located next to the built-in webcam. It does not pick up normal voice or cry out to him...

    Can't bring any changes to the software that could influence.

    What I've done so far: deleted drivers, installed new, updated all Toshiba Software and downloaded and run all the stuff suggested to this problem.
    And of course, it is not set to mute or upgraded to the bottom.

    Still no cure.
    What's next?

    Thanks much adavance.

    Hmmm, it makes a static noise? Kinda sounds like hardware related issue
    But check the microphone settings in the control panel-> sound-> recording tab
    Here, you should see two entries; internal microphone and external microphone port.
    The internal microphone must be turned on!

    In addition, the internal mic belongs to the webcam. In the assistant webcam-> settings-> audio tab, you can increase the maximum microphone volume.

  • ODD has stopped working on the Satellite Pro A200

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE1E.

    The CD/DVD was working fine and then stopped. I put in another CD and it went through the process of trying to find - but could not.
    It ejects the disc. I tried with other CD in the same direction. Yellow light works during the research process.

    I tried to remove the CD from the Device Manager and remove entries of regedit (as suggested on another thread) all without success.
    The computer is a little over a year old and I have no recourse to assistance centers as I live in West Africa.

    Can anyone offer any suggestions?

    Hello

    Is it possible to boot from the recovery disc?
    I mean the CD/DVD drive reads the original disc Toshiba and it of possible to read other CD or DVD from different manufacturers?

    If all the other disks are not readable then the question looks like a WEIRD error and in most cases the STRANGE must be replaced.

    PS: Please note that if you try to boot from the recovery disc then start a recovery procedure will format the HARD drive and reinstall it the entire image of Toshiba.

  • The maximum size of HARD drive the BIOS sees in Satellite Pro 4200 and 4300 series systems

    I want to switch the HARD disk in my Satellite Pro 4340. I know the 4200 and 4300 SP series can take at least a 20 GB HARD drive that I've already updated a SP4270 and SP4280 drives from 20GB already.

    I did a search on assignments earlier re. Satellite Pro 4200 and computers portable 4300 series as various other contributors of this forum had already asked this question. A respondent suggested that they had installed a 60 GB HARD disk without problem.

    Someone at - it else mounted a big HARD drive (or more even) in these notebooks series 4200 and 4300 and managed to do work OK and had the BIOS to recognize the total size of the HARD drive?

    What is the largest swap HDD that someone did with success on these machines of 4200/4300?

    Unfortunately, you will not be able to find accurate information about it. All you can find are reports from other users. I am really interested about other views.

    By the way: 60 GB HARD drive is not sufficient for you?

  • Satellite Pro 4200 and wrong screen resolution

    OK, so I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 and I m running windows xp professional on it and I ve been wondering because many programs do not work on it because of the resolution of the screen I want to know if there is a way to change.
    I know usually you access properties etc but when I try to drag, he does not slide remains at 800 x 600.

    So if anyone can help me on what I d really really really appreciate it.

    I'm pretty sure you don't l l install the display driver. It is necessary to use solutions above 800 x 600 screen.

    The drivers, you can download a Toshiba site but don t forget to look in the * Archives * because your laptop is not the most recent:

  • Satellite Pro 4200 - annoying click speakers

    Hi all

    I have Satellite Pro 4200 and it works well but has a click on the speakers. It's OK while surfing but on downloaded music there are about 5 quick cycle repeat modes. It does same start-up jingle. Is this an easy useful solution or not?

    I can get back to where I bought it.
    I'm on a dongle 3, but I doubt that it is the cause. It's OK the system in turn.
    I got to the redesign of the dept Board and supposedly they are loaded NT 2000 but yet again wrong than ever.

    Thank you

    Satellite Pro 4200 is old enough for laptop and I imagine that the speakers are defective. I think just replace can help.
    Check eBay. You will find parts cheap for these old books. If you have someone to swap the speakers will be the right solution for you. Or simply bring it back.

  • Satellite Pro 4200 - need help for Windows 95 & drivers!

    Hello! Years ago my mother, I bought a fully functional, great Toshiba Satellite Pro 4200 working the place taken sales... Since that day, my laptop has not been used. But now, I found a few games nostalgic childhood of mine, who works only with Windows 95. I wanted to play, and I decided to install Windows 95 to my laptop. The installation process went well, it was a bit complicated at first because of the startup disk and such. But I managed to install a working fully Windows 95 in my laptop! But it gives me only 16 colors and no option to choose the resolution! So I found out that I need to install the video card drivers.

    I have google a bit and discovered that my laptop has chart S3 Savage IX. I failed to find the appropriate drivers for it. Until I went to your site to support canada and traveled for a pilot of similar laptops. I found Windows 95-98 compatible drivers for my card. The installation process was easy, is well past and fine! I then could choose 256 colors and another resolution (which I did not actually change...). I changed the colors and then restarted. Everything went well until windows 95 logo screen came suddenly to the top and after that I only saw colors and black borders. He did not start Windows properly. What can be wrong? At I have download the wrong drivers? Windows told me 2 different versions, IX and MX. I tried them both. Tried to change the Hz also, but nothing helped. Please help me!

    Thanks in advance,
    Jupstejuho of Finland.

    P.S Sorry for my bad English...

    Edit: OH, BTW is the exact version of my OS: Microsoft Windows 95 Finnish b with USB support (I Don t know the version very very accurate actually... but I just mention that it is version B of the operating system.) Could this be the problem? I also tried the same driver downloaded from toshiba europe Web site, but it won't let me just install the drivers 'already installed' and they really are. I did not uninstall them, I tried to run the uninstall utility, but it doesn't work...!

    Hello!

    Maybe chose a resolution not supported?
    This happens to you at all resolutions, or only one?

    Normally, you can download all the drivers on the European site of Toshiba, but I only find Satellite Pro 4220, 4240 and so far but not 4200.

    However, have you tried to do a BIOS update?
    Before installing the graphics driver, you need to update the version of DirectX.
    You can find the Toshiba site:

    Hi Eltgen

    Sorry, but it is not easy to tell what the problem is on that path. If I understand you well you have built in a new floppy drive, because the old one was faulty. Am I wrong?

    It will be interesting to know is the new part already used. Perhaps is the new one also defective. I hope that a little light is on if you put the disc inside.

  • Satellite Pro 4200: Which is a maximum size of HARD drive?

    Hello, please help. I have a satellite Pro 4200 with a dead hard drive. I can't get a 10 GB hd anywhere. I can only find 30 and more. Does anyone know the size max HD which can be installed in this system? send me an email: [email protected].
    Thank you.

    Hello Jose

    Unfortunately there is no public document on this subject. I'm sure that 20 GB HDD will work correctly. If you want to try to call service partner and ask them. They must have this information.

    By the way: as far as I know Toshiba doesn't support the hardware upgrade. This is supported by authorized service partners or independent equipment parts supplier.

  • Satellite Pro 4200 recognize RAM only in the B slot

    I have recently got a Satellite Pro 4200 and want to increase the memory up to 320 MB.
    To start I bought a 128 MB module and have found that with a 64 MB module in a slot and the 128 MB in the other system only recognizes the module into the connector B.

    Must the modules in the two slots be the same value for the system to recognize them? i.e. the 128 MB or two 64 MB.
    If this is the case its OK but if it's not I don't want to buy another 128 MB module, if the location is unservicable.

    Thank you
    Billabilla.

    Hello

    Wow Sat Pro 42000 is an oldie I didn t think someone using this mobile in the future, I mean it's a great laptop but the performance he is too weak to be present-days.
    As far as I know the Satellite Pro 4200 was equipped with Mobile Intel Celeron 500 Mhz or with an Intel Pentium III 450 Mhz / 500 Mhz.

    Pentium 450 Mhz CPU equipped units can be improved up to 320 MB. All other units can be upgraded up to 576 MB.

    I think that the 64 MB module should not be removed!
    You must use 64 MB + 128 MB or 256 MB or 512 MB (only for models with 500 Mhz processor).

    Hope this helps you
