• Problem starting with Satellite A210-183

  Hi to you all.

  My name is Costis and I have a starting problem with my laptop. The laptop runs Vista and it was bought in November 2007.

  I have the following message:

  "Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device attached to the computer.
  This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device, such as a hard drive or a cd-rom drive which is a failure.
  Make sure that all removable storage is properly connected, and then restart your computer.
  Status: 0x00000e9
  Info: An unexpected i/o error has occurred. "

  Can you help me how to do?

  Thanks in advance,
  COSTIS

  Hello

  What devices are connected to the machine? Some external HDD´s or DVD readers? Would be interesting to know because this error is caused mainly by external media/devices that are not properly connected to the laptop or a malfunction.

  I recommend to unplug everything from your machine and check if the error reappears. So I would suggest to backup all of your important data and retrieve the machine completely (maybe it s a related problem of the software).

  If that's not enough then come back and talk to us more this question.

• Problem starting with Satellite C850-1FN

  Hi guys,.

  I have a portable Satellite C850-1FN which came with win 8. I want to install win 7 because I prefer to win 8. The problem is that I can not boot from the Cd/DVD drive or a usb bootable with win flash player 7. He always says no bootable media without any startup options, I choose from the menu of the bios. I even used an external cd/dvd drive, but still no boot disk and others not to mention that the internal hard drive.

  My Win 7 drive is ok, so is the USB bootable (tested on another machine).
  Any ideas?
  Thanks to the guys in advance.

  > My Win 7 drive is ok...
  You have the original installation disc of Microsoft or own creation?

  LED power button fix

  Satellite P300-h-13

  By Thom

  First of all, I would like to
  say you that I came up with this correction, after a clean reinstall of the
  Vista. (I used the serial number of windows on the bottom of my laptop for)
  install, so it's the same license as the OEM of windows and therefore
  Tout_a_fait legal.) After the clean install and installation of all the
  the drivers listed on the site of toshiba LED power button (also
  known as the mute button) and the CDDVD butten (mediaplayer button)
  stopped working. After browsing around forums toshiba I found
  this case, I removed the support button utility that the mute button has acted as
  a mute button. Also the mediaplayer button worked fine. Reinstalled
  the utility support for the button and they have stopped working. After many
  toshiba calls (I think about 5-6 in one day) they opened a
  support ticket for me, because they (team support callcenter)
  could not find a solution. Following their advice, I did the
  next to try to make it work:

  * Don't have a system restore with the restore DVD.
  * Do you have an another clean install.
  * Install the drivers in various ways (alphabetically reversed by alphabetical order and order of collection DVD).
  * update my BIOS.
  * downloaded a 'new' version of value added package (which was the same thing I already had).
  * installed the VAP with and without technical support button utility, no changes.
  After doing everything
  This, they said that they did not know the cause of my problem (at the beginning
  they thought it was hardware related). They came with a possible
  anwer:

  "It is."
  possible that we removed some features of windows vista
  operating system so that our one utility for device drivers
  work. In addition, we do support the configuration, that we delivered
  When you bought the laptop. »

  Now of course, I have
  understand that. I waited allmost a week, no response. Neither
  by electronic mail, or by phone, so I decided to google more
  on the problem.

  After a certain
  some research on Toshiba forum and Googling I came across
  a thread that sayd I must first install the utility 'control '.
  and the button press. Unfortunately what it did not work.

  Then, all of a sudden
  Windows displays a message saying that I should install the TOSHIBA.
  "ACPI-based value-added general use and logical device driver.
  I clicked on the provided download link, and the VFR package was a newer version
  version of the support page for my laptop which is held. So I downloaded
  This PPV version 1.17 and installed it. After a reboot, the buttons
  still did not work. But at least I got the file HWSetup.exe, where I
  could turn the LED off. Look into the button holder utility, I have
  saw that there where buttons like "Toshiba Assist" which my
  the laptop model is not.

  Navigation
  through the toshiba forum I found a file named ButtonSettings.ini, in
  which I can manually configure special keys. After a google
  search on the name of the file, I found that all the buttons list
  in a registry key. I saw the "Dimmer" file using the button
  folder and clicked on it. Poof... lights went out. Click again,
  Poof... lights turn it back on. So I replaced the wrong button definitions
  with CDDVD and dimmer values. Saved my changes but is not a restart.
  Opens the support button utility and change the path of
  MediaPlayer (who was always there to a previous definition) to
  Dimmer.exe. checked to see if the button CDDVD pointed
  MediaPlayer and restarted. When everything has been started, I pushed on the
  button again and presto... MUTE lights off. Pushed again, poof...
  lights. Pressed the mediaplayer button and started to mediaplyer. I have
  has been very happy when everything worked.
  Now that you
  know the story, here's the fix.

  * Difficulty: *.
  * Download and install the new VAP from here: [http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/util_tvap_26084A.exe]
  * Choose Edit in the installation and make sure that everything is checked
  * do NOT restart after the installation.
  * Download the ini fix and the fixed registry
  * Uncompress its contents into your working folder.
  * Copy the ini into C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\TBS (where C: is the drive of program files)
  * In this same folder, start the exe called TBSbtnSt.exe
  * do NOT restart, click on 'no' in the dialog box.
  * Double click on the registry key, and then click 'Yes' to add to the registry
  * Then open the button support utility by clicking Start-> Toshiba-> utilities-> Toshiba assist. Help go to optimilization and click support button tohiba
  * If the path or the description is disabled, fix, and then click Save. See also if the CD/DVD mediaplayer points.
  * Restart you computer now.
  * If everything is is well past your special buttons should work.

  * WARNING: *.

  It worked for
  me, with my Toshiba Satellite P300-h-13, edition windows Home premium 32-bit.
  It should work on any model of 6 buttons with the mediaplayer and the mute
  buttons. I am in no way responsible for any damage that may arise
  If the fix does not work correctly. There is absolutely no. GARUENTEE
  It will work for you. If the answer is Yes, he does, and if it's not it
  doesn't work.

• Installation of drive HARD recovery does not start on Satellite P300-150

  I have a 2008 Satellite P300-150 I want to restore factory settings.

  I followed the steps described in the manual of s to do it from the hard disk (F8 at startup), however, when I try, a screen will appear with a warning with the topic box"system recovery options"then below says "cannot start the installed program. Click ok to turn off the computer.

  I don't know m which is better to do it now if someone could suggest another way to do this, I would be very grateful.

  Thank you

  The situation is quite simple to explain. Recovery image installation can be done on two tracks:
  -using the HARD drive recovery or
  -using the create recovery DVDs.

  I put t know if you created this disk after advice from Toshiba, but if you use for the installation of operating system.

  By the way: Satellite P300 works perfectly with Win7 32 bit, so if there is a way to install do. It works much better than original Vista.

  If you have any other questions you are welcome. ;)

• Cannot start the Satellite P300-1FN - nothing happens

  Hi all

  I have recently reinstalled windows 7 on my Satellite P300-1FN and after a few minor problems, it was working fine.
  I blocked some drivers and updates, then it prompted me to restart.

  I turned it off and left while I had lunch, then tried to start and nothing happened.
  I mean nothing, not even the power led comes on. I put the battery in which I know has at least half a load and nothing.

  The fuse, still nothing changed. What is everything?
  It is quite dead.

  Any help appreciated.

  G

  > I mean nothing, not even the power led lights up.
  Sounds not good man

  Sounds like the motherboard or CPU problem because no s lights are on.

  But try this;
  Unplug the power adapter, remove the battery, wait some time (2-4 hours) and reconnect the two parts.
  Check if you could power the unit in place.

  If this is not possible then I would recommend contacting a professional technician to ASP.

  Sorry, but that's all I can suggest

• Re: Failed to start with Satellite L300

  Hello
  I'm on a Toshiba Satellite L300 Windows Vista,
  I recently had my browser (Google Chrome) freeze so that the page that I was on was using Java.
  I went to reset, but once Vista began to start it would not go beyond the loading bar.
  Then, I went to boot from a drive to install Vista and met the same problem.

  I tried to start with the controller Mode SATA changed compatibility.
  This allowed the Vista disc load up successfully but did not allow for options but command prompt and from the Startup Repair.
  I ran Startup Repair twice and that Vista would load to the top of the loading bar then reset and loop this model.
  I don't know where to go from here, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Brad Winn.

  Hello

  Perhaps, your laptop is infected with the virus, and you cannot load windows. You can search and find a software like Kaspersky Anti-virus 8.0.0.506 Emergency Bootable CD and search for viruses. I wonder why you could not start Vista drive in AHCI Sata Controller Mode, I know the sata drivers are already integrated into Vista.

  Run "bootsect/nt60 ALL" into the command prompt, and then press ENTER. Wait and eject the Vista disc, reboot. Hope, it helps to have you tried to install from hard drive recovery image?

• I can't start with Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more

  I can't start my Satellite P10 by pressing the power button more.
  Sometimes, very rarely its starts when I hold the power button for a while say 10 seconds.

  I tested the power supply and a battery to my friends P10 (of the same type) and both work very well.

  So it must be a problem with the key.
  No idea what to do?

  Thanks for any help

  The best.

  Tobias

  If it s a button or a power supply electronic problem, then you can't do anything.
  In this case assistance by the technicians of laptop would be necessary.

  But the next time that you should try this option if the laptop turns on not;
  Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter from the laptop for about 30 min.

  After this short period of time to reconnect the two parts and check if the laptop could start.

  Good luck

• Re: Bios won't start on Satellite P300

  Hi, on my Satellite P300 does not start Bios.
  How can I restore factory settings?

  Hello

  I m afraid. I put t understand what you mean exactly
  You are not able to access the BIOS?

  You want to reinstall the OS and want to set the laptop to factory settings?

  If Yes, then try to boot from the DVD of recovery (if created).
  If you have n t try a recovery DVDs start the installation from the HARD disk.
  The new laptops HARD drive recovery and you should be able to reinstall the OS by pressing the F8 key-> choosing fix my computer-> Toshiba Recovery

  This should launch the installation of the HARD disk

• Password required to start my Satellite P300

  I have a Satellite P300 and when I turn it on it just came with a box saying the password.

  Help, please.

  Unfortunately, we don t know anything about your laptop.
  Do you have BIOS password or you have bought already used and blocked for laptop?

  In any case what you are missing is BIOS password. This is the security feature and you can't do anything. It should be removed by the Toshiba service provider.

• Problem starting with x 51 R2 BIOS A10

  I recently updated my CPU since the original i3 4130 for an i7 4790, updated the BIOS to the original A04 A10 and replaced the stock cooler Intel with a Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, no other changes.  Now, whenever I turn on the power (and sometimes when I restart) I get a black screen instead of the Windows startup screen after the Alienware logo.  By pressing CTRL + ALT + DELETE usually boots to Windows, but rarely a second CTRL + ALT + DELETE are necessary.

  I use Win 7 Pro 64, (760 Ti OEM GTX) video and other drivers are up to date, and all power from standby/hibernation options are set to 'never '.

  This same question has been posted on the net by others, but the complaints include a blinking cursor (mine only blinks 2 or 3 times before disappearing) and there are no solutions posted in response.  Any ideas on whether this could be a simple BIOS that needs to change or other suggestions?

  The ePSA test showed no problems.

  Though the GeForce experience has shown that my driver is updated, the link you provided was a much more recent version. Unfortunately, it's just a little worse problem: had to hit CTRL + ALT + DELETE multiple times and then disconnect & reconnect the USB mouse to make him stop to jump wildly.  However, I have come across a solution.

  A Youtube video by using the display of Wagnard driver uninstall the software indicated that a new custom install allows you to NOT install two NVIDIA 3D components when they are not needed and make that solved the problem of the Youtuber, which was similar to mine.

  So, I went to add/remove programs and removed two 3D NVIDIA drivers, reinstalled the gaming mouse software, and that fixed the problems start and mouse.

  I'll take the 3D with NVIDIA conflict, thank you for your help.

• ODD makes noise at the start of Satellite P300 - 19 p

  I recently bought a Satellite P300 - 19 p.
  When I have done hard disk sewitch grind a few noises.
  Once I connected it stops. Is this normal. ?

  In my view there s nothing unusual. Over powering the laser s objective reader calibrates and makes noises.
  In addition, such sound can appear if there is a disc in the CD/DVD drive.

• Problems starting with the Satellite C870D - 11 X

  I have a Satellite C870D - 11 X 8.1 Windows running.

  The laptop was running progressively slower, but now when I start it sticks on the screen "Toshiba Leading Innovation". Finally, he moves to a blue screen saying that your computer needs repair "a required device cannot be accessed 0000185 0xc error code. I tried a reset by pressing '0' at the beginning, to the top and I see the process of disk recovery hard screen and press enter for Yes and I get the "Toshiba Leading innovation" screen with please wait. After the circular points are displayed for a few moments, then the screen becomes white.

  Unfortunately, I don't have a recovery disk to try this option. I'm looking at a hard drive failure? I hear a feint clicking of the HD as if hunting for something.

  If I buy a disc is it likely that I will be able to reinstall using this media?
  Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

  At first, I must say that you have made a mistake after that you bought your laptop you didn t create disk recovery or the so-called recovery media with the original version of Windows 8 that you got with your machine.
  I really do not understand why so many people make this mistake and do not create bootable recovery media installation backup image recovery.

  In any case, on this path virtual that is not easy to say what the problem is here and, in my opinion, the better you can do is to back up all your important data and install original recovery image. After doing this, you can test the functionality with the factory settings.

  A few days ago, I found interesting options paper of recovery limited after update to Win8.1 - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4403L30001R01.htm
  You should try to install the HARD drive recovery original anyway. How is it that you can read on http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB2A03ES0000R01.htm or http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R02.htm (Win8/8.1).
  Order recovery media can be your last step.

  Clicking noise could be sign of drive HARD doesn't work well anymore. Is the warranty for your machine still valid?

• Problems starting with the Satellite A100-662

  Hello

  I appeal to your jurisdiction after a first contact with the Toshiba support on the phone.
  My problem is the following: your computer Satellite A100-662 begins at random, sometimes it starts the first time, and other times it starts only partially sighted power and ignition in market, drive hard s ' lighter than 1 second, the fan runs but the screen remains black.
  To start, I tried several things, I had read on the Internet: removed / delivered the battery; power supply only. removed / delivered the same RAM and hard drive.
  The Toshiba support me make an initialization of food and a BIOS upgrade. I also set the fan but no improvement!
  Because I noticed something by chance: the computer does not start, I tapped on the lower right corner of the computer, and it started but not on the screen. I turned off the computer, and then I'm turned again... He has started!
