Portege R830-10V - DVD drive makes strange noises

Hi all
I just bought this machine and registered the following question:

If I put in a portable DVD starts very strong buzz. This noise disappears if I put a finger on the reader. In addition, the DVD player starts to chat if I press the keys above the player as the arrow keys. Bothers me a lot.

I called Toshiba support and they said that they can pick up the laptop. But it is possible that this service costs because maybe this problem is part of the specification.

You have any ideas? What can I do?
Best regards
Denis

Hi Denis_3,

Have you noticed this problem with different CD and DVD or just a medium? In General, I also noticed the same behavior, but sometimes just with one disk, so the problem is the drive itself in most cases.

On this path through the forum it s is not easy to say what the reason is but if it s associated with CD/DVD player and the reader needs replace it will cost you nothing because it s during the warranty. Of course, for out of warranty repairs, you must make ;)

  • Portege R500 - CD/DVD drive no longer works

    Does anyone found a resolution to this?

    Like David, my DVD Multidrive on my R500 abruptly arrested recently - I can open/close the player, but he does not appear in Windows Explorer as a disk is valid. Do not think that I have nothing installed on the machine.

    Interestingly, I never really use the DVD player. Indeed, because of all the * heat * questions, I used to "Power Off" of the device, via the DVD icon in the system tray (i.e. option enabled me to Power on / off the unit). So while the power was OFF, it's cold the machine, and so the fan was rarely on.

    Now that my computer no longer recognizes the drive, this icon it simply shows that disabled, no possibility to the power on/off switch, and this noisy fan is almost always on. In addition, because it seems that the machine tries to recognize the drive subject time at startup, all re-start, reboot the machine now takes a few minutes to start...

    For the optical drive firmware update help? Or is there some other fix?

    Hello

    > but my Portege R500 CD/DVD drive has stopped working the next day, I had attached an external CD - RW drive for me to burn discs. Maybe it did disable my built-in drive?
    This could be the key;
    Try to access the Device Manager and remove the CD/DVD player listed and all USB host controllers and USB root hub.

    Again, restart the laptop.
    After new check restart if the CD/DVD drive has been recognized again.

  • Equium - hard drive makes clicking noises

    Hello, can someone please help?

    I think my laptop is in trouble, the hard disk (or I think it's the hard drive) is do a lot of clicking noises and my battery life is running down when the adapter is connected. It seems that run down when the drive made those rattling. When the power mode is energy-saving sometimes stops clicking and the battery life fills up again, but recently its been doing even in power saving mode.

    I'm moving all my files on an external hard drive, even though I have a lot of stuff on my lap top. I can't afford a new laptop

    Can someone help me please?

    Thank you

    Hey Buddy,

    How to help you without knowing your model mobile exact?

    Generally if the HARD drive makes clicking noises it s time to replace. Backup to an external drive has been a very good idea.

    And how you can lose the life of the battery if the AC adapter is plugged? I put t understand it.

  • A satellite - speakers crack and make strange noises

    Hello

    I have problems with my speakers. Crack speakers and make strange noises. I have tried everything to fix this (new audio drivers install, re - install windows...) and nothing has helped. I see someone has installed a new version of the bios and this has solved the problem.

    'UN' fforunately I have already installed the actual bios system and the system does not have to reinstall the current version.

    Can someone tell me how I can re - install the software in the bios?

    Thank you very much

    Hey,.

    Such resettlement is no function you want to say to the BIOS. You can only upgrade to a newer version but not to reinstall the current version.

    I think that there is another solution for your problem, but above all that it would be interesting to know if you can see these problems with external speakers or headphones too.
    You can check this please?

  • Portege R830 - Toshiba DVD Player missing

    Drive DVD - Portege R830 (03N00701)

    I can find no trace of the software Toshiba Video Player or Toshiba DVD player. My dealer told me simply that "they probably don't put more ' and told me to use Windows Media Player. Still the .pdf manual has clear instructions to use it.

    I'm supposed to have a Toshiba DVD player on board and if not, what can I download online?

    G Hey Lauri

    According to the specification for the Portege R830 series you should have The Toshiba DVD Player software.
    However you can download it here,

    [http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp?service=UK]

    I have not used because I used to use a freeware prog. called VLC because it plays one of these video file formats that I tried on it.

    I have Satellite R830-143 and relatively speaking, it has the same specifications as the Portege and had the DVD player when I bought it a month ago.

    Seems dealers will tell you anything without even bothering to check.

  • Portege R830-10V - connection UMTS falls down very often

    Hi all
    I have a SIM card in my laptop I've used in a netbook before Samsung. With the netbook, the link never broken. But with the 10V, happens every 20 or 30 minutes. When the connection is lost, I have to restart the laptop to connect again. If I try to click on windows again that nothing happens to connect in the Network Center. After a few minutes, a message windows cannot connect to the network.
    The laptop shows that the quality of the network is good.

    I have reviewed the parameters of connection of the netbook and transferred to the r830-10V but it does not help. I also disabled all energy saving options. For me, it seems to be a driver issue, but I'm not sure.
    Someone knows something about this problem?

    Hello

  • Portege M400 - CD/DVD Drive not accessible, Incorrect function.

    Hello

    We have 1 machine that shows the above error, and strangely enough, it is only to show this error when you try to play the DVD. CD is reading and fine engraving. The H/W is a carpet * a DVD - RAM UJ-8425. The drive is correctly activated and we have about 100 other machines with exactly the same formatting and set up using XP that do not display this error. I changed the H/W and uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers of devices, but without result.

    Anyone has any ideas that can help?

    See you soon

    Steve

    When you get this error message exactly? You get this error message if you're looking for a DVD or watch a movie on DVD?

    In your case, I would try to remove the upper and lower filters. Then follow this work around:

    (1) run Regedit (start > run > Regedit)
    2) go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
    (3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
    (4) restart.

    Good luck!

  • Computer makes strange noises? 3

    Hello, I have a HP Pavilion, model s3842uk. n___n;

    My computer because of the weird noises when I start it, it's like a semi - quiet, but still discernible "squeaking"? I did some research into this because that my mind was going into overdrive thinking that my pc is dying (that's my baby in terms of playing games like WoW, L4D2, Sims 3, Fallout New Vegas, etc. with brio) so I'd really like to know if anyone can help me.

    Some have suggested that it is the CPU fan or another fan, and maybe it's because I'm not sure how to open my case. I really want to play with my system in case I damage anything (I'm a super awkward age 16 years). xD

    So, it is more than likely due to an accumulation of dust right? I think I had this PC for over a year so the poor thing probably got a lot of dust in there, but I'm still a bit "eh" of everything.

    So, if anyone of you, it professionals are ready to help me, I would appreciate it.

    If I do not need to open the case so I will need to ask a friend of the family who is a technician, he can do it for me because I'm desperate. xD

    Hello LishaFTW, sorry to hear your system does not work as it should.

    Some HP and Dell systems, do a 'noise' stronger during the first start for a few seconds. This noise is from fans until the mother could take control of the fan speed. It is a normal phenomenon, but only if it just last for several seconds.

    A bad business, and/or components can cause a State of overheating, even on newer systems, especially if they have been used when on the ground instead of a desktop computer.

    Here a link to the HP site that shows how to do to remove the control panel of the case. You can then clean the inside of the casing and components, paying special attention to the area of heatsink / CPU fan.

    Make sure you do not move or damage the components.

    You can use compressed canned air to blow the dust/dust of the system and the heatsink / CPU fan. Do not allow the processor or another fan to turn when you use compressed air, as this may cause damage to the fan.

    I suggest take the system from the outside of the building to clean dust/dirt, since when the compressed air is applied, there is a bit of it in the room.

    When completely cleaned, just reinstall Control Panel case and start the system and see if the problem has been resolved.

    If not, you may leave the case Panel and start the system and try and determine source noise, making sure not to touch anything inside the case. I'd look for any fan noise that seems to be another noise that all movement of the air, like a bearing bad grinding, or rubbing sound.

    I hope this helps.

  • Computer freezes and makes strange noises during playback of videos

    Hello

    As of late my computer was irritating me.

    When I go to play videos, or sometimes when I listen to music, the computer screen everything will freeze and (sometimes) it sounds like something of a transformer movie.

    The first freeze upwards, it usually comes out of it on his own. But a freeze on second or third place, I have to force the computer to shut down.

    I noticed it only freezes up when I play games on my computer. Games on the internet [like on Facebook] can make freeze however.

    Usually he never appears with an error, so I can't provide any help out there. When this all started upwards, it was a pop up on the display driver to have to restart itself (or something of the sort). But I saw only once and have not yet see it again.

    It's my laptop Asus U50F-RBBAG05 who works in Windows 7. All of my software like Java and others are updated, to my knowledge.

    It is, possible solutions? Or explanations? Or my computer went "off the deep end" and I might have to consider getting a new? :(

    [Not quite sure that this issue falls under the topic sorry in advance.]

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes to the computer?

    2. you're talking about music or videos online or you're talking about for videos and music stored on the hard drive?

    Step 1: first of all I suggest you to update the video card and display drivers for manufacturing sites.
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/update-a-driver-for-hardware-that-isn ' t-work correctly

    Step 2: Put the computer to boot and see if the problem still occurs
    Activate the clean boot, refer to step 1 in the link below:
    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135 
    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.
    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.
    Note: after find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software
    ATTENTION:-do not forget to put the computer to a normal startup followed step 7 in the link.
    Step 3: Check the logs in Event Viewer on the computer crash and let me know
