• 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.

• 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!

• With Satellite Pro M-series LCD projector problems

  Hello

  I use a Toshiba Satellite Pro M series for more than a year. I would like an answer to a problem that I've had since I bought my laptop. When I use a LCD (beemer) projector to watch movies on the big screen, he seems to be a problem. When I choose to show my desktop on screen you there is no problem. When I open a video file, divx or just a DVD I can see the movie on the screen of my laptop, but I don't see on the projection screen. It is only black. When I choose the mode full screen, there is always the same prob. Very strange because when I chose the projector as 2nd screen and I slide the film into the second screen, I can see the movie on the projection screen. The only thing that I hate divx and mediaplayers readers when you select full screen on the second screen, the film jumps on the first screen (the one on my laptop). I tried all the codecs and other things. Nothing seems to work.

  Has anyone treats these problems before? Please let me know if anyone knows how to solve this problem.

  Kind regards
  Compton

  Hi refill,

  I thinnk it may be a driver configuration problem, but to solve it, I need to know what mobile phone do you use?

  Satellite Pro M?

  Also would be nice to know what operating system is runing (OS recovery or another image) and what version of driver display that you use!

  Goodbye Chris

• Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

  Hello!

  I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

  I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

  Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

  The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

  Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
  Could be useful to others here in the forum.
  Nice to have these community users :)

• Strange problem with its virtual on my Satellite A100

  I have a problem with Virtual Sound on my Satellite A100-638 with Windows XP. If VS is turned on and Windows plays a sound of Windows, as when an error appears, the volume increases.

  When the VS is off, the problem does not exist, but I would have turned on VS, cause, I play a lot of music! I tried to upgrade level or upgrade to other versions of VS, but the problem is still there. I also tried to uninstall and install my sound card drivers.

  Can someone help me with this?

  Hello

  I put t know what is the problem. Your description is incomplete and very strange.
  Usually it's not easy to say what's wrong because you have already installed the 3rd party applications that could only unique functions or have a bad influence on all operating systems.
  I assume that the registry is damaged.

  If we can continue the speculation after the recovery completely portable.

• Satellite Pro L Series - lack of strikes

  I have a Satellite Pro L Series with keyboard, mouse, etc. connected via a Toshiba "USB 2.0 Port Replicator II". When I use the keyboard, occasional keys are ignored (so I have to go back after you type anything to insert strikes ' % is). Also, from time to time a key combination is repeated constantly until I intervene to stop it.

  This does not occur when I use the computer without the port replicator, so the problem seems to relate to the port replicator itself. EDT doesanyone experience a similar problem, or ideas on how to fix it?

  The USB keyboard is maybe defective. Have you tested on another PC?

  Bad drivers can also cause. If you have installed drivers/utilities keyboard, or a mouse Logitech/Microsoft/other, uninstall them. They may be in conflict with the default drivers.

• Satellite Pro L650 series - the error screen white balance

  Hi all
  I use a Satellite Pro L650 series. When I use the laptop for several hours, my screen becomes bad white balance. In detail, the screen clears so dazzling with the strange white color. If I open a Web site, the pictures on the website becomes blurry images.
  If I put the screen in blue, she can't make easy the dazzling color, but if I put the screen in white or green and yellow, then it becomes abnormal colors and fuzzy.

  I have to restart my computer, and this problem can be solved.

  Is there anyone encounter this problem like me?
  Could you share to me what is the problem? and what is the solution for this problem?

  Thank you very much

  Hello

  Have you noticed this screen problem laptop with mains running or simply using the battery?

  I read about the problem of similar laptop screen which was related to the Intel display power saving technology.

  In this case, you could solve this disabling this feature. Go to Intel display panel - conservation power source/battery - power tab function - saving technology display and uncheck this option.

• Satellite Pro 4300 series - is there an available wireless card

  Hi all

  New to this forum I bought an old laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro 4300 series recently as a starter machine for my son. The computer is currently connected to the internet using 3Com Megahertz 10/100 LAN PC Card PCMCIA 3CCFE574BT with dongle connected through hub speedtouch.

  Can someone tell me if there is a PC wireless card that I can use with this machine without having to connect wires in the hub.

  See you soon

  Hello

  As far as I know, the machine does not support the Wlan and has not been equipped with all Wlan cards.
  If you want to connect the computer to the WLan router then I would recommend using a USB WiFi key that would be the simplest solution.

  There are different sticks USB Wlan that supports different Wlan standards; 802.11 B or G, you must choose one that is compatible with your WLan router.

  See you soon

• Satellite Pro M30 series deactivates the WLan connection

  I have an old Satellite Pro M30 series. Whenever I turn on the wireless signal, the computer closes its doors.
  I assume that the driver's latest version.

  I'm not known for that Yes, there is someone out there who can advise me on where to find the latest driver and install it.

  Assuming this is the problem.

  Thank you
  Gibbsey

  > spend a lot of time on the wireless signal, the computer closes its doors.

  What do you mean exactly by farm down?
  The laptop turns off automatically once the WiFi (switch) card is turned on?

  I put t think this would cause obsolete WLan driver, this sounds like a hardware problem.
  In case it of not possible to use the internal WiFi card, I recommend to use an external USB WiFi dongle.
  Would be the best option

  PS: all the drivers for old Toshiba laptops are placed on the page of the Toshiba UE driver.
  You will need to search the archives (in the product Type click Archive) for a list of the old series of laptop computer.

• Problem with Satellite Pro 4200 series USB (4270)

  Hello

  I'm having a problem with my usb port, it doesn't seem to work properly. I did an update of the Bios, which solves nothing. I changed the drivers (Windows 2000 Professional service pack 4) which did nothing either. Plug-and-play does not activate even when I plug something into the usb port. At first I thought that maybe the USB has been damaged, but when I plug my webcam, it lights up briefly, and since it is powered from the usb, I hope this means that the usb port still works. I tried to plug in scanner m, my printer and my camera, with all the different drivers, with which they came. Nothing works. Windows 2000 displays not all conflicts with all the drivers. I've also disabled in BIOS, all other ports (LPT1 COM1 COM2) using the IRQ11. What could be a solution to this problem?

  Hello

  Well, as far as know that the operating system is unable to recognize the devices if the external USB device needs more power than the USB port provides. In this case, the USB devices must have an external power supply.
  In addition, try to remove the USB port on the Device Manager and restart the operating system.
  After the restart of the operating system should recognize the USB ports. Maybe this procedure solves the strange USB problem.

  Please let me know if it works.

  Good bye

• You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

  Hello

  I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

  Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

  I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

  Thank you

  Hello
  For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

• Readers of DVD - RW compatible for Satellite Pro 4320

  I want to upgrade the CD-ROM drive in my Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 with a new DVD - RW drive. If I bought the next disk, will it work with my laptop?
  Samsung SN-S082D SlimDrive
  http://www.Samsung.com/Products/OpticalDiscDrive/SlimDrive/OpticalDiscDrive_SlimDrive_SN_S082D.asp?page=SPECI stories

  Or, if you please, if you know a DVD - RW drive compatible with this laptop, then share your knowledge for me and others know what to buy. Thank you.
  Or are all the available discs today compatible?

  Compatibility of the player is always a problem to upgrade. The fact is that every ODD won't work with each laptop model. I assume it's due to the assignment of the different pins.

  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find any list of compatible sides for your laptop model. Sat Pro 4320 is quite old and it will probably not so easy to find the compatible DVD - RAM drive. Try to contact Toshiba authorized in your country. They are upgrading specialized and they know which sides are compatible for this laptop Satellite Pro.

• Problems of helmet speakers on dualboot Satellite Pro C50-A-1KV

  Hi all.

  I have a serious problem with Toshiba Satellite Pro C50-A-1KV. I have win7 x 64 and Ubuntu 14.04 x 64 on this machine. It was first installed Win7 and later Ubuntu 14.04.

  I tried to use the headset while I was logged on ubuntu and there is no sound, the sound was cut out of the speakers but headphones did not work, when I plugged it out I still have the sound on the speakers.

  After reboot I had no sound at all on ubuntu, and when I go to windows, the problem worsen for windows also. Right now it seems like some time the sound is on the speakers, but headset is dead, some time ago his headphones and speakers.

  I have no idea what is the cause of the problem. The win7 and ubuntu have been kept clean, only the updates have been downloaded. I think that the driver has some problems, but how could I make it work. To test, I tried to use Skype and there was a situation where I have the sound on the speakers and headphones, but then the microphone was death-_-'.

  I have a few pieces of it and the exact problem is on half of them. I have 2 deliveries.
  The first onewas ok, everything works. Either everyone has this problem :/

  I tried to make a backup on model where it is working and windows backup restore and install new ubuntu but it did not work.

  Any suggestions what may cause the problem or how to fix?

  I think you should first clarify whether your headset is OK.

  My theory is that your helmet could be faulty (maybe a broken cable or something like that) and that's why speakers and headphones will not work when the headset is plugged into the laptop.

  Laptop computer's headphones Jack supports a small switch that allows you to disable the speakers while the headphones are connected.

  If in case the headset is faulty, the speakers and the headphones would not work.
  So I think you should check the helmet first.

  If you are sure that the earphones are OK, then I think there could be a problem with the little switch in the headphone jack.
  Why? Because I can't imagine that this could be a software / driver problem because the same question is displayed using Linux as well as Windows System.

  The two systems are completely different and that a software / driver problem in both cases, it's almost unbelievable.

  However, I still recommend setting the laptop configuration using the procedure of recovery Toshiba in order to check if the noise problem using Toshiba preistalled system configuration and factory
