• Qomsio X 300-engraver of DVD no longer Burns DVD double layer

  Hello..

  I have a 3 years old Qomsio X 300... Today, I tried to burn a DVD DL disc... and the shock was that I could not

  I don't know why... I have burned 7 front DVD DL discs with no problems at all of RICOH and Verbatim brands (the + and - if it matters)

  I tried several burning like ImgBurn, Nero 9, Windows burner software... None of them worked... It fills just the cache... I hear a clicking sound and keep it for about 5 minutes... Then he comes up with the message "write error". Differs from one application to the other...

  I tried all the media I have:

  Reading: CD / DVD / DVD DL
  Writing: CD / DVD only

  My drive is: HL-DT-ST DVDRAM GSA - T50N
  Firmware: RT04

  If someone has an idea? Is this a software problem or the drive is faulty?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  To be honest, I have not an answer to your problem, but one of my friends had a HP laptop, and in one night, it burned like about 10 DVD, a few days later, he tried to burn even more to discover that the drive has stopped burning DVDs, it can still be read but not burning. So I guess that you have a similar problem, which is most likely a hardware one.

  After all, the laptop optical drives are not heavy ones, we really need to be careful to use them, not as the ODS Office.

• Equium A100: Nothing on the internal display, but on the external monitor

  For some reason, my laptop has forgotten that he has a screen attached to it.
  I can see everything if I attach an external monitor, but there is nothing on my LCD screen, even if it is on and lit. It is only black.

  I tried to update the display drivers and even the BIOS, but neither one of those who helped.

  And it's not my screen brightness, either - which does not at all. It's as if my screen has just been removed from the system. Help, please!

  Are you sure that the display is not faulty? As far as I know if your laptop is not connected to the external display the home screen Toshiba must be indicated on the screen of the laptop.

  Start the laptop without external screen and wait a few minutes. If you think that the operating system is running correctly, try to use the combination of keys FN + F5 several times to see if you get the image on the screen of the laptop.

• Equium A100-147: how to drive to repalce the CD/DVD?

  Hello world

  can someone tell me how to replace my dvd player in my A100?
  It's a massive delicate work or I can do it easily?

  I'm completely lost without it, and it seems a pity to pay a price that is stupid to get the thing repaired.
  I noticed a number of pretty good readers markets on ebay and thought I should try an auto repair.

  Hello

  CD/DVD drive replacement is not difficult for someone who has done in the past, but if you have never changed this part, then this might be a bit hard for you

  First of all he must know that not all CD/DVD drives are compatible due to different settings master/slace/c-salt
  You need a disk check compatible your user manual should be that an info on supported readers otherwise contact the ASP for a good optical drive

  As far as I know to remove the two screws until you would be able to Exchange on the STRANGE.
  A screw secures the player at the bottom of the unit, the other screws are placed under the keyboard, then you will need to remove the keyboard as well

  I think the best is to contact a technician mobile downtown the technician could remove it for you and should not be expensive and in this case, you are always on the right side

• Re: Equium A100 - 2 L - the search for the replacement of HARD drive

  I inherited an Equium A100 - 2L (PSAAQE) of my brother, but he kept the hard drive damaged in the hope of saving its data on it. Can anyone recommend a hard drive replacement, and I need one any attachment or additional connector?
  Looking at various Web sites, I'm puzzled by this disc to buy regarding dimensions (SFF, 1/8 H etc.)

  Thank you

  Hey Buddy,

  No, you need a t n pregnant additional or connector. The caddy HARD drive you need you can use old HARD drive and the connector is soldered to the motherboard. So when you replace the HARD drive, you need only one new, what s.

  Equium A100 has already SATA interface that means you buy a HARD drive with SATA interface, but it of not important if she s SATA1 or SATA2 interface because the two standards will work (SATA2 is compatible downgrade to SATA1).

  So just buy a * 2.5 HARD drive with SATA interface *. Also there is no capacity limit, 500GB or more should work and manufacturing is also independent.
  Just look at some online stores and buy a HARD drive with good price / performance. :)

• Equium A100 upgrade to Windows 7, but now no sound

  Hello

  I have recently upgraded to Windows 7, but since then have no sound.
  I checked that all devices are active and not cut.
  I visited the sites of Realtek and Toshiba and downloaded the latest version of the software recommended by Toshiba, but still no sound.

  I've seen other assignments related to a similar question - can you advise how I can fix this, please?

  Hi Frannie,

  Can you please test the sound through the headset? Maybe the internal speakers do not work and if you n t hear all the sounds.
  Check this box!

  I think that for the moment you can only try to update the BIOS. The Web of Toshiba site always displays the latest version. Have you installed it?

  An interesting thing: have you had these problems on the factory settings?

• Equium A100-338 - battery power problem

  Hello

  My daughter has an Equium A100-338 bought England under Vista Home Premium 15 months ago. He has recently developed a problem with the battery life, which in theory should mean the replacement of the battery, but I'm not so sure!

  The battery quickly descends to say 80% 6 minutes remaining, about 20 minutes after a full charge. Then put it in charge that it retrieves to 100% in about 20 minutes. The notebook gets rather warm below, but I think it's probably normal, that old equium of my other daughter gets warm anyway.

  Someone has encountered this problem, or is it just that he needs a new battery? I would have thought that it would have lasted longer, the other Equium battery is still going strong and is one year more!

  Thank you
  Dave

  Hello

  Hmm I think that you battery is not dead and can be used much longer than you think.

  I see that you have Vista on your laptop. This OS needs more resources for laptop as the Win XP for example. This would mean that laptops preinstalled Vista would be shorter on the battery as the laptop with Windows XP.

  Finally, and especially the battery working time is highly dependent on the use of the laptop.
  If you play games or watch movies DVD battery discharges faster.

• Equium A100-338 - do I have to buy a recovery disk?

  Hello

  I have a bit of a dilemma. Vista on my Toshiba Equium A100-338 sticker is worn (was like that when I bought it). I upgraded my hard drive, installed Windows 7, then gave my old one (forget were the top recovery partition). I want to sell the laptop so back to its original State would be ideal.

  Toshiba said that I have to buy a drive for recovery for 29.90, which is ridiculous. Can someone help me?

  Details of the laptop: Toshiba Equium A100-338 PSAAQE-006008AV

  See you soon

  Hello!

  If you want to return factory settings as in the first start of the laptop, you can buy a Toshiba Recovery disk. This disc contains a picture of the factory settings, and so you can install the laptop in minutes with all Toshiba drivers and tools.

  But I put t understand why it is ridiculous for you. I mean normally get you on laptop Toshiba with Vista after the first start a message that you must burn the recovery disc yourself. It takes 10 minutes and you need only one or two DVD discs. I did it on my Toshiba laptop and I think you should take 10 minutes of your time to do this too.

  However, nobody says you have to buy the drive because you can also use a disc of Microsoft and download Toshiba stuff on the Toshiba page but you need so much more time.

  Good bye

• Equium A100-027 touchpad not responding

  I have an equium a100-027 and today the touchpad was funny.
  For example, I went to move and sometimes it wouldn't be no move, moved very little, or when he moved quickly moved to around to the same place that it was before.

  I assumed that maybe it's just that my computer has been used too much memory or something. But then later, it no longer responds. I restarted my computer and the same problem, it does not move.

  Before anyone suggests, I in fact checked all the settings for it. I know there is a shortcut (fn + f9) to turn it off.
  However, I already checked and it is activated.
  I am falling quickly with this computer, six months old and already had two problems with it.

  Anyone can suggest a way to solve this problem, or should he be returned to be repaired?

  If it must be returned, how should I do this?
  I bought of Dixons, and when I came down to them with my last number, they said they have no responsibility and I had to call "the tech guy".

  This ended up being A £1.50 tech support number overcharge, which I'm not call again.
  This laptop has only 6 months, clearly under warranty. I don't have to pay who knows how much on a phone call just to get it fixed.

  Sorry if this sounds like a hangover, just in a bad mood with this computer at the minute.
  Thanks for any help! =-)

  Hello

  I see that you're desperate. Sorry to hear this story.
  But before you send this laptop to any point of service, you must reinstall the laptop with the Toshiba Recovery CD.

  This procedure will put the laptop to factory settings!

  If the touchpad does not work after reinstalling new contact ASP in your country.
  The service provider authorized in your country will be able to help you and if your warranty is valid, everything must be done for free.

  I can't believe that the appeal could cost about £1.5 because it s a common phone number.

• Cannot connect Equium A100 for WLAN

  Hello world

  I need help! I brought an Equium A100 in February from PC World, and although I have not tried too many wireless connections, it seems impossible to connect to unsecure wireless networks.

  However, it's quite strange. I managed to get another PC to connect to the laptop through an ad hoc network using the wireless link, so I know that the card works. The wireless networks are, but when you choose one that is not secure it says it can not connect and when you click on diagnose, he said: he does not know why!

  I downloaded the latest driver for the wireless, and the machine is less than half a metre of wireless point. I tried 4 networks and starting to pull my hair!

  Someone at - it ideas? Help!

  Hello

  Are you sure that several WLan networks are not secure, and an another security as the MAC address filtering settings were not set to the WLAN router at 100%?

  Is the wireless network card supports the standard wireless even like 802.11 A, B or G?

  I have two different cell phones at home. Both are ready wireless, but it does not connect to my router because of the Wlan standard.
  The router supports B/G and the map only A/B.
  I have studied a long time and finally I discovered that different wifi standards could be the reason for connection problems.

• Equium L20-197 does not burn DVD

  Hello

  I've had my Toshiba Equium L20-197 for more than a year. I have problems with the DVD burner. He is able to play DVDs, burn CDs and play perfectly fine CDs, is not just to burn DVDs. Had this problem for months, I was wondering if anyone knows a solution for it!

  Secondly, a question more than a question. Is it possible to set the "Play/pause" media key to open an alternative application to Windows Media Player? I use Winamp, and it would be nice if I could take a break using this button and I not WMP opens in the process!

  Thank you

  Astiak.

  Hello

  First something about burning your DVDs of problem.
  Have you tried to burn different types of DVDs? I mean if you have tried different brands of DVD?
  I use only the TDK CD and DVD and I am satisfied. But this does not mean that the TDK will work with your hard drive. The fact is that not all readers of support all media.

  In any case, do you have an error message during the burning process? Have you used different burning applications? I only use one program for burning (Nero) and I do not mix the burning software. I noticed that the sonic program installed on the laptop could have a negative influence on the burning process.

  But on the other side, it is possible that disk and that only aid failures.
  Especially the lens of the drive can not calibrate properly and so the CD / DVD cannot be recognized or burned.

  Now the button configuration media;
  Unfortunately, the buttons are configured fix and it is no longer possible to use WMP if audio CD has been inserted or with WinDVD if the DVD has been inserted.

  I hope I could help bye ;)

• Equium A100 - battery rapidly discharges

  Hi Experts

  I am facing a strange problem on my laptop, my battery get quickly performs most of the time in two minutes, and he States (7 percent). I don't know if I need to replace my battery.

  Laptop: Equium A100 - PSAABE
  OS: Windows Vista SP1

  Can someone help me solve the problem.

  Kind regards
  Mary

  How long does it take until your battery is completely dead?

  Usually battery working time depends on the use of the laptop.
  But running a standard application like Word or IE, the laptop needs to run more than one time by using the battery.

  For me looks a bit a battery problem maybe the battery is simply dead.
  Yes, this can happen and there is nothing unusual.

  After about 500 times charge / discharge the battery begins to lose own performance and it s only a matter of time, when the battery needs to be replaced.

  So in my opinion, the battery should be checked.
