Death by Satellite M30 - what can do?

The other day, my Satellite M30, I bought in September 2004, turns off suddenly for no apparent reason. Since then, when I try to turn it on, the power LED button lights up for a split second then turn off, and the power led (one on the left) on the front starts flashing yellow.

I tried to remove and it run without battery or adapter right battery replacement, but he refuses to start. It is unlikely that anything it either inside could have fried, I use a surge protector. I fear the worst - that I have to get my data off the drive and throw the laptop in the tray - but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas. I can't believe computers these days this last a year...

See you soon,.

Hello

Well, if the DC IN yellow led is flashing, this means that there is a power supply error.
In this case, it s that the adapter has a power outage, or there is something wrong with the electronic power supply.
You should contact the ASP, because I don t think you're able to resolve this problem yourself.

Good bye

    You might find the info that recovery disk can be created using the Toshiba Software recover Media Creator preinstalled on your laptop.
    In addition, there is a HARD drive recovery available which allows you to recover the laptop HARD drive.
    But the recovery disk must be created too much in case something would happen with your HARD disk partition.

    If you want to risk this update check the specifications of the other portable Satellite M30. If you can find one with faster CPU, maybe it will work also on your laptop.

  • How can I check sound version and watch on Satellite M30 power?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite M30 series and have lost my audio. I don't know if I checked something l ' turn off or what. Can someone give me some ideas on how to check it? The other is stupid - how do I know what saving use?

    Right now my setting is on Power Saver 2 and I'm having problems, that I found an answer to this, of overheating, but it was suggested to check the energy saving, how do you know that one to use?

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Hello

    It's very simple. You should visit the Toshiba driver page and you will find the correct drivers and utilities also energy saver.
    After the installation of the power saver you use defined parameters. The cooling method, you can define if you want to cool the most powerful CPU for maximum performance.

    Now on your noise problem:
    Well, first go to Device Manager and check the status of the sound card.
    If there is everything is fine and there is no exclamation point yellow if all the drivers are installed and working properly.
    In this case I recommend to enter the control panel and select the Audio & Sound devices. There you can check if the 'secret' was not enabled and if other controllers are defined at the higher value.

  • Satellite M30-604: USB Port can not find the driver

    Hello

    I keep having the same problem on my Satellite M30 604 when connecting to a USB device.
    It does not really matter with this kind of device, the problem still.

    Whenever I have insert the USB plug into one of the slots, my home XP keeps popping up the wizzard software.
    Even with devices without drivers such as USB keys, it keeps bothering me and finally tells me that it cannot find the right driver.

    If I try to install a printer, it installs the software found, but finally stops the operation because it can't find the driver (?). I don't know in what direction I should look at to solve this.

    So if anyone can help me on this, I would be very grateful!
    Edwin

    Hello, Edwin

    It's very strange because it is not necessary to install a USB driver and standard Microsoft USB driver should work well. I put t know if this can help, but please check this page

    This fix is also part of the factory settings (recovery image on the delivered CD). By the way: your device is about three years old and it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem. Just for example: I have more Satellite 1900 with USB 1.0 and use USB keys and drive external HARD without any problem.

  • Satellite M30-861: why I can't write on a DVD?

    Hi, I bought Satellite M30 861 about 15 months and so far have only tried to burn a CD - no problem. Now I want to try and burn it to a DVD, but it doesn't seem to be recognized (I tried to drag-and - drop and also NERO). I see on the unit it says DVD-R/RW and my Web of Toshiba on-site warranty information, I should be able to burn DVDs (it was a question I asked when buying!). Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

    Thank you!
    Marving

    Hi Marvin,.

    According to the specifications of your laptop, you should be able to burn a DVD-R/RW only. Are you sure that you are using the appropriate holder (r/RW and not + r/rw).

    Also if you use RW media, then they must be formatted before that you can burn on them. (you can use Nero INCD for this).

    Kind regards

  • Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista cling - what can I do?

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with operating system Windows Vista Home Edition.
    After a few weeks of work with my laptop, it cling.
    I reinstalled the OS but and it works fine for 1 or two months, then the laptop to hang again.
    October 2008, I bought this laptop and I reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.

    What can I do?

    You mean that Vista does not answer after some time?
    Well my friend, this may be a software problem.

    I mean there is no quick fix for these issues, I assume that you have installed and used many different applications on this laptop.
    It is possible that one of the applications is causing this problem
    It would be also possible that entries in registry and system files have been changed during Microsoft updates

    In my opinion, you must use some cleaning as for example the CCLeaner tools.
    It s free and it cleans your registry and other files

    You should also check the applications that are running while the system would begin to cling
    Finally and above all I recommend you memory, you can run a memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find some problems of memory.

    Good luck

  • What can I do to make the Satellite A665-S6086 run with the new memory?

    I was able to update the BIOS for my Satellite A665-S6086 by updating 2.30 on CD burning. I have Windows 7 64 bit. I needed to update the BIOS, because I upgraded my RAM/memory of 2 GB (4 GB total) two cards two cards of 4 GB (8 GB total).

    My question now is when I start my computer with the new RAM/memory (two cards that are KTT-S3BS / 4G Kingston DDR3 1333 MHZ SODIMM SGL RANK), it freezes on the screen from Windows startup. Then when I hold the power button to shut it down and restart it, it wants to start using Windows repair but then crashes again. When I put in the memory of the old man and he start up, it starts the Windows repair and runs normally.

    What can I do to make my computer run with the new memory?

    I thank very you much in advance!

    What you can do?
    Buy an another RAM modules that are fully compatible with the laptop.
    It seems that you want to use the RAM modules which are not totally compatible and therefore the system hangs.

    By the way: the CPU that is used in this notebook runs the DDR3-800 and DDR3-1066
    RAM modules.
    http://Ark.Intel.com/products/49020

    I would not recommend to use the modules of DDR3-1333 but PA3677U-1M4G 4 GB DDR3-1066

  • What can be done to improve the performance of the Satellite P300-150

    Hello

    I have laptop Satellite P300-150.
    It seems powerful enough but struggles with some of the latest games.
    It s not my main but game machine I m aware if he's struggling now, it won t well before he won t be able to run at all.

    And I wouldn't be able to play on the move...

    What can be done to increase the capabilities of the laptop - like tweaks, tools and upgrades?

    Thank you
    Max

    Hello

    You could improve memory to 4 GB of RAM.
    The laptop can be upgraded to 4 GB, but note that the Windows 32 bit OS (Vista & XP) will see only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS.
    In this case, you must use the 64 bit OS to get full access to 4 GB.

    Second, you can configure laptops OS. I mean you could start the msconfig and might turn off some background process is not necessary including the performance of laptops of waste.

    Unfortunately, other upgrades are not possible (apart from HARD drive, but will not increase performance)

  • Can not turn on the Satellite M30

    Hello everyone...

    I have a Satellite M30 laptop for time enough and I'm having a problem with it. When I try to turn it on, it makes a kind of scratch noise and then nothing happens. The hard drive lit wrath but the computer does no sound and no picture on the screen. I tried to turn it on with and without the battery and the same thing happens.

    A few days before this happened that I could see the windows startup screen, after that the computer crashed, even when I went to the BIOS Setup screen, the computer also crashed, so the problem was not on the hard disk. A few days later, when I tried to turn it back on, it makes a single probe and nothing else happened. Can it be a motherboard problem? can I try before sending it for repair

    I'm scared of m it s a serious problem.
    Depending on the symptoms that you described the laptop cannot get the message and so I think there may be an error on the motherboard.
    I don t think you will be able to locate the fault. It is simply not possible for the common user like you and me

    If you have no choice as to the request of the service provider for Toshiba for help.
