Problem with the CD/DVD on Satellite A300D (PSAK0E) device

Hello

I installed Windows XP Home edition on my laptop yesterday, everything was fine, but now I can't use the CD unit at all. It does not open, and when I open it manually (with a clip or something like that) the device does not read the disk in it.

Any idea?

Thank you for your attention and your time.

  • Problems with the installation of recovery - Satellite A300D - BSOD

    Hello

    The laptop in question (TOSHIBA Satellite A300D) recently stopped starting (BSoD).

    So, I tried using the recovery disk, but there is no help. What happens is:
    -After about 10 minutes of waiting, the first language menu load, so I click on "next".
    - Then I again click Next and accept the message that my HARD drive will be erased
    - Then I see a cmd prompt that says "try to remove all the letters of partitions possible...". »
    -There is also a minimized command prompt that says something like "RAID failed to initialize."
    -And then nothing happens.

    Is this a hardware problem? I also tried a full installation (instead of recovery), which, even once, is simply not. None of the errors is - it just freezes.

    Any help appreciated.
    Thank you.

    It is not easy to tell what can be the problem, but if you were not able to install the OS by using two different facilities CDs/DVDs, so there must be a problem with the HARD drive.

    The warranty is still valid?
    I mean you can contact the nearest Toshiba authorized service provider and explain the situation. They can swap the HDD and again test the recovery procedure.
    Can you get somewhere 2,5 SATA HDD for testing?

  • Problem with the software Modem on Satellite Pro L40

    I tried to set up a connection Dial-Up Networking on a Satellite Pro L40 running Vista and can't get the modem to talk to the modem from the ISP. The connection appears OK and then you can hear the modem dial, but when the ISP picks up there is a bit of yelling and then my modem abandons the connection and I get the standard vista connection failed box.

    Things I've tried:
    -latest drivers for the 2.1.77.0 modem (and the rest of the system) downloaded from Toshiba and installed OK
    -all the updates of windows installed
    -removal of the modem in the Manager of peripherals and re - install
    -suppression of the agrsmdel.exe and then re-install
    -try different cables to plug into the phone jack
    -several different ISPS and phone numbers
    -reduce the maximum speed of the connection
    -connection to the same ISP with my Satellite L10; works very well never have time!
    -using the windows to diagnose and repair the tool (set last resort!); says that the modem works fine and can not find a problem with the connection

    Is it possible that the update of the BIOS on the laptop would make a difference (currently v 1.60)? I did some research on Google and found messages on various forums, which suggests that the connection between the motherboard and the modem chip is a little doubtful for all the Agere Soft Modem; If the case is it something I can fix myself or I should go for warranty repair?

    Hello

    I'm sure that there is no problem with your modem, but with the configuration or even s ISP modem. I recommend you to speak with the support of the ISP.

  • Error message "A problem with the cooling system" on Satellite A660

    Hi all

    Hope I can get help here. I got about 5 laptop computers HP after each of them had problems and errors. I got sick of them and so got a refund and bought a high spec A660-1FH.

    The A660 is a great laptop for two days until yesterday when I started having a saying of warning message "a problem with the cooling system has been detected. Please turn off the power immediately and return it for service "."

    The cpu fan works fine you can here it turns and the temperature of the processor i5 - 460 m is around 40 degrees for two hearts - that seems normal to me. I noticed that this happens only when running on battery, and if you switch from eco utility to the power saving mode. Its fine when running on the "balanced" power setting The fan is louder before when this message appears.

    Like its less than 28 days my retailer swapped it for a brand new immediately. Got a new home page, and the same message reappears. Everyone knows this. Like two laptops had this, I was wondering if it is normal that the laptop A660 series or if it was really a hardware problem?

    I tried to update the eco utility and the bios of the laptop, but the two are the latest versions. Can someone help or share if they have a similar problem with their laptop?

    Thank you

    In front of me, I have Satellite A660-13 q (PSAW3E) and I have about 6 weeks now. It works almost 10 hours a day and so far I didn't notice this message or anything that may be suspect for the operation of the equipment.

    I put really know why this happen on your laptop and don t think that there is nothing you can do about it.
    I would trade it again. What you can also try is to contact the closest service Toshiba. Make a call, explain the situation and ask if they can help you with this.

  • HP Support Assistant unable to fix a problem with the CD/DVD not detected

    I have a G42-415DX laptop and I can not read cd/DVD, it was working fine 3 weeks ago and now nothing / I tried the support assistant and he could not solve the problem.  I got a message saying the driver must be reinstalled, how do I reinstall the driver?

    Hello

    If you do not get the chance to use another PC, I would definitely create the CD and the DVD bootable as it would give a clear indication if there is a hardware problem with the optical drive.

    In the meantime, try following the procedure in the title of the subheading "Let me fix it myself" on the link below to remove upper and lower filters (if these registry keys exist) and see if that helps the issue.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/982116

    If find you the following registry keys and delete them, restart the laptop before checking the disc.

  • Equium A200 - problems with the CD/DVD-RW and Realtek HD driver

    I'm having some trouble with my Equium A200-1VO.

    First of all, I can't get the CD/DVD-RW to write any dics. The Player opens also from time to time.

    Secondl, I just downloaded and installed the latest driver Realtek HD audio, under the guidance of Toshiba, to see that when I plug my headphones the sound always comes out of my laptop speakers.

    Any help or thoughts?

    Thank you

    Now, he can be really problematic. If you use your own installation of the OS, no one can say with certainty what can be the problem. Each laptop manufacturer, including Toshiba, offer recovery image installation and in using the factory settings, everything should work well. These recovery images are tested and they offer all the hardware and software features.

    Maybe you should install Vista using recovery media supplied and check if all these problems are happening again. If yes then we can talk about the unusual and serious issues.

  • Problems with the graphics card on Satellite Pro M10

    Hi, this is my first post on the forum. I'm not a pro with computers or anything... the problem I have with my laptop is similar to the one in this thread:

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=26849&TSTART=0

    I spent half the day trying to figure out if my graphics card is broken, but since I'm a newbie with this stuff, I'm still not sure. :(

    This is what makes my M10. I'm trying to describe the symptoms that detailed as possible, but I'm German, so please excuse my lack of words in some places.

    1. when I turn it on, the laptop goes through the BIOS and give me scrambled BACK-screens and a slightly Warped windows loading bar. There is the consistency check, marked by black bars connecting the top of the screen down. After the audit, the screen goes black and nothing happens, or the screen of will just show me consistency check, do nothing. Be that as it may, I have to turn off the power (I think) and restart the laptop.

    2. sometimes the laptop goes through the BIOS checking & conistency with a few graphical shortcomings. The office is anything but shredded when he gets to the screen of the Windows user. The static method is if serious I don't even know where is the button turn off.

    3. sometimes Notepad starts very well, with the only graphic problem being the windows loading bar. When I go into Windows, the laptop pulls me a blue screen and stops immediately.

    4. sometimes, the laptop works fine for about an hour or two. After I rebooted, I have the same problems listed above, once again.

    5. If I open Device Manager and disable the graphics card, the laptop works very well. I have to lower the screen resolution and colors, but I can watch videos on youtube and everything. Finally, the laptop gets very hot on the bottom and the screen goes crazy again, so I turn the damn thing off.

    I don't know what that means! If my graphics card is broken, the screen should be all static, ALL the time? Not just sometimes more,... could sometimes less be some sort of communication problem between the graphics card and cpu? Please help me with this!

    Another thing I'm not sure about, even after reading the thread I linked above - can I replace the graphics card or not? Everyone said something different in the other thread...

    see you soon,
    Cozmo

    Edit: maybe I will add when I got the screen scrambled and everything. I installed Civilization 4, just to check if my satellite pro can handle, and everything went well for a while. The screen then haywire and I rebuilt my whole system, but display problems did not disappear completely. They were gone for almost a month, and now they are 'back' or something.

    Hi Cozmo

    I'm not a technician but here nobody needs technical knowledge to see that there certainly is hardware problem. I also believe that this problem occurs due to the graphics card. Graphics card is part of the motherboard and it cannot be traded separately. The entire motherboard must be exchanged.

    In my opinion, you have two options: either contact the authorized service provider in your country and speak with them, what can be done, or try to get the motherboard used. If you are lucky, you can find it on eBay. I already bought several hardware components for my old Satellite P10 on eBay.

    Sorry Cozmo but I do not see any other logical solution for you.

    Good luck!

  • Pavilion g6-2306el: problems with the recovery DVD-R discs

    Hello, it's only now that I saw that the DVD + R is suggested for all recovery discs burning. A little too late for me, since I bought several DVD-R to produce my game. Here is what happened: each disk has been created with difficulty; the burning process failed on all the others try. But in the end, I finally got the DVD-R 4 program have been burned and verified correctly. Now, when I tried to insert each disk to make sure that the laptop was able to read properly (the content supposed to be confirmed, after all), to my horror, I realized the first two discs were not being recognized. However, my patience was rewarded when, after a long time, suddenly, an Explorer window showing the contents of the disc. Taking advantage of the situation, I immediately copied this content in a folder on the desktop. It took me a long time to do this process for the content of the first two discs that had recognized problems. Subsequently I also copied the contents of the discs 3 and 4, which was much faster. Now, I have four folders with the corresponding content of the recovery disks in the office. The question is: can I use these content and burn on DVD + R this time, in order to have a working set of recovery disks? Thank you very much.

    Hi @anthony_s

    Thank you for your query.

    I understand that you have created your recovery on the wrong type of DVD disc and does not work.  You have copied the contents of folders on the desktop you and want to know if you can now create new recovery DVD on the appropriate type of files.

    No, it will not work.  I suggest that you contact HP support and inform about events and inquire about obtaining a recovery kit.

  • Satellite A135 - problem with the CD/DVD burner

    Hey guys,.
    A few days ago as nearly a week ago I had burned an audio CD for myself and it worked perfectly. Today when I tried to burn an image on my DVD, disaster. I use two software. IMGBURN & NERO. Unfortunately both failed me. What is happening is that the burning process starts normally, it shows that the buffering and burning taking place as well as caching of files. "Finally, it shows the burning process has been a success, but when it comes to verification, the drive appears saying: data verification failed - too many errors (Nero) and for IMGBURN it says ' they layouts do not match. When I reinsert the DVD, it shows that it is completely empty. Although both claim that the fire was successful. Later, I tried to burn a data dvd, still no luck, engraving, he shows successfully but verification fails and reinsert is empty.

    My laptop is: Satellite A135
    CD/DVDROM: TSST CORP TS-L632D ATA
    OS: Windows

    the default windows was vista when I bought it.

    Hello

    If you can't burn DVDs, then you should check first if it is a software problem based question or related equipment.

    I've been reading about the reader of CD/DVD burning questions and as many times the registry has been corrupted.
    Means that you was able to burn the DVD after you remove the upper and lower filters in the registry. Google for it and you'll find many pages.

    Is there a problem of CD/DVD drive, then you should find a good update on the page of European Toshiba driver in your laptop. If there is no update firmware, then it means that this firmware is ok and it s not necessary to date.

    Last but not Lea not all CD/DVD drive are compatible with all drives (CD and DVD).
    Why? Because the different CD and DVD manufacturers produce own using different standards. In this case, it may be possible that not all discs will be properly treated

    I had the same problem but might solve this problem by using TDK R CD or DVD
