• Satellite L30-149, only works with external monitor and VGA mode

  Satellite L30-149, Windows XP Home Edition

  Yesterday I did face the following problem:

  I swithched on my laptop but I have nothing on the screen. I tried to reboot several times, but it did not help. If I look very carefully, I see the logo of Intel (black text on white on the screen) but nothing else. The logo shows very low.

  I plugged on the external monitor. With that he gives a little more. The Intel logo with the instruction how to reach configuration etc. Then Windows logo but when it should ask the user, the external monitor going to sleep mode and nothing happens after that.

  And an external monitor, I managed to connect to Windows in safe mode and also in VGA mode. In VGA mode, I tried to change the resolution, after that I got black screen again and I had to start.

  Now I wonder if I could do something (update of drivers, etc.) or should I go to the store where I bought the laptop and ask them to fix it. This look like a problem covered by the warranty?

  --
  Upgrade to this message (what happened after that I wrote the above text).

  I turned on the laptop again. I thing the lightning from the room is now better because I noticed that the laptop seems to work (almost) correctly. Windows starts normally, I can faintly see the desktop. This seems to be a problem in the background ligthning. FnF7 does not change the situation.

  This sentence is very interesting.
  Sounds like a question of FL-ups!

  It is a small part behind the screen and control the backlight of the screens.
  Usually, this part is not very expensive and the replacement is not complicated to a technician for laptop.

  If your warranty is valid, then everything should be done for free.
  Try to contact the ASP in your country and ask for later handling.

  Greetings and good luck

• Satellite L30-149-PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable of

  Hello!

  My Toshiba Satellite L30-149 with the PSL35E-002002NS model number is equipped with a MK4032GSX drive HARD 40 GB, Bios V 1.90 and HP Windows XP Home edition.

  IT stops during startup with the text.

  For Realtek RTL8139 (x) /8130/ 810 x PCI Fast Ethernet Controller V2.13 (020326), PXE - E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE - M0F: exit ROM PXE, operating system not found.

  This occurs even if the disc is removed and seq. boot is changed so it should search the CD/DVD and even though the power and the battery has been disconnected for 15 minutes. If the power were during 20 hours them lights upward by DVD for a short so that at the next startup, but not if the power was turned off for a few minutes.

  Before he died, he showed the blue screen several times with diskerrors in the event log, and I was able to run/CHKDSK without errors a few times.

  Please advice how to reset the Fast Ethernet controller, not sure that a HDD defective only can cause the fault of I m.

  Thnx in advance

  Hello

  I think that this is related to failure of HARD drive or lack of OS on the HARD drive.
  Is this message PXE ONLY appears if the portable computer is trying to boot from LAN.

  Means either the LAN was chosen in the BIOS as first boot device or operating system is not found on the HARD drive and so the BIOS automatically goes to the local network.

  So I recommend this audit in the worst case you will need to check if the new HARD drive would solve this

• HDD upgrade on Satellite L30-149

  Hello

  I want to change my hard drive of 80 GB to 320 GB. I'm computer Toshiba Satellite L30-149.
  I hope someone try it before and it works.

  If someone can Swedish please answer me too... Good day. MVH Emilia

  Hello

  It depends on the HARD disk controller.
  If the HARD disk controller support the 48-bit LBA then you would be able to use more than 128 GB of HARD drive

  Since ATA-6 also known as Ultra DMA mode 5 or Ultra-ATA100 the 48-bit LBA is supported.
  So now to know what the HARD drive controller is supported by your L30.

  I think you might find this detail using a program like Everest home edition for example.

  Install it and check it out!

• I want to improve the Satellite L30-149

  Hello
  I was planning on upgrading my trusty laptop L30-149.
  RAM memory seem not to be a problem that I've played with this, going to get 2 * 1 GB because that's what he supports!

  But - Celeron M410 CPU, I am extremely confused which can handle the motherboard.
  I read another post that said we could use:
  Core solo (T1xxx), Core Duo (T2xxx) or even with Core 2 Duo?

  s ' would that be a valid processor?
  [http://www.netshop.se/aspx/produkt/prdinfoVnet.aspx?plid=30299]
  (Intel Core Duo T2400 1, 83GHz FSB667)

  and how the bios will respond to these tremendous changes? It can handle it?

  Ty for taking your time and reading this - I hope someone can answer my questions or suggestions are equipped!

  Hello

  You should have a look here in this article from Toshiba:

  [Is it possible to upgrade the CPU/GPU of a Toshiba laptop | http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/FAQ7A01ZW0007R01.htm]

  There are several reasons why a CPU upgrade is not recommended, and not desirable.
  These updates can be done only at your own risk, because no one will be able to tell if the laptop would be stable after this upgrade.
  The BIOS is also designed not and not configured to different processors.
  Therefore, it can happen that your computer laptop malfunction.

• Strange sound problem with Satellite L740 TV outputs

  I'm having a strange problem here... I googled this several times already, and I only found the same solution mentioned several times and the given solution * not * work is to me.

  I have a Toshiba Satellite L740 running Windows 7 Home Edition Premium, with a 64-bit Intel Core i5 - 2410M @ 2.30 GHz CPU and 4 GB of physical RAM. My problem is the following...

  There are two different TVs in my house that I regularly connect my laptop via HDMI cable.
  The first is mine, and I can get sound through the TV very well when I plug it in.

  Sometimes, however, I will disconnect the computer from my TV and not get any sound through the laptop because he's trying to output to external speakers to TV.

  More importantly, when I connect my laptop to my * roommate * TV (the same make as mine, you mind), I can not all the sounds of his TV at all.

  This is a recent problem. Until this morning, I was able to get noise from two TV very well and only sometimes had problems with sound through the laptop itself, which has been easily resolved by restarting.

  It's just a hunch, but it's almost like * doesn't realize that there are two different TVs * that it is connected to my computer. Maybe it's stupid, I don't know, but be it, it's frustrating...

  * ALSO: * I've seen dozens of suggestions that I put my HDMI audio as default device. Yes, I did. It wasn't the issue. Is the same to activate my audio drivers in Device Manager. They are all turned on, so it's not that either. Any ideas?

  It's a bit strange if you connect the laptop to two identical televisions and use the same HDMI cable to the TV.

  Unfortunately, it all works automatically and I put t know if you can force your laptop to recognize two TVs on the same path.

  In the worst case you have to do it manually in the sound properties > playback devices.
  If it works with four mouse clicks you can change.

  I tested my laptop with two different TVs.
  At home, I have a Toshiba TV and at the office we use Sony. On both automatically get sound on the TV speakers.

  If you will be able to find the solution please let us know.

• Temporary solution to load problem with Satellite C650

  I here provide a temporary solution to loading with Satellite C650 problem, which I have faced.

  First of all, I've updated my BIOS. After that, I removed the battery and plugged AC for 2-3 minutes.

  Then replace the battery and it loaded.

  However, the battery got charged up to 99% only and after that the interrupted load and the load remained at 99% and renewed battery indicating "plugged in, not charging."

  Therefore, each time I hv to repeat the procedure above to charge my battery.

  If any1 has the solution to the prob. above, it would be gr8 to hear.

  Thank you very much!

  Thanks for your posting.
  To be honest I really don t know what else you can expect and test it with new battery.

  I think that your laptop model must always have a warranty valid, right?
  If so, contact Toshiba nearest service provider and ask for replacement.

• Problems with Satellite A300 - 1GC XP install - CD does not?

  Hello

  I have a few looks to round in various forums and found no answer to everything.

  I have the Satellite A300-1GC and had (from last night) vista on it. As caused Vista
  a lot of problems with different programs, I decided to get rid of him.

  The problem is now--if I stick my XP installation CD it it bed "press any key to boot from CD".
  Do that and then nothing happens. The CD read head stops going back and forward
  but nothing happens at all. Not even the beginning of the blue installation screen.

  Any ideas where this comes from?

  The CD-rom can also be run in AHCI mode (can a CD player what do I do?) and requires drivers?
  I have tried various CD XP - neither work. The last one I had was with SP3 and build in February 2009 so quite recent.

  Clues?

  See you soon

  Hello

  In your case the question has nothing to do with the SATA mode (AHCI mode or Compatible) but it looks like the CD/DVD drive cannot handle the Win XP disc
  Why? Who knows

  Always is it that the CD cannot be read and so the installation can not get.

  Try to copy this disc by using another computer and then you can try using the disc copied on order to install Win XP.

  Just FYI: I use TDK (CD and DVD) r discs... I am very satisfied

• Several problems with Satellite A100

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction with regard to the fixing of my computer!

  I have supply problems with my Satellite A100 laptop that I bought in europe 2 years ago. When the battery is run-down completely the computer will not run / start at all when it is plugged into the wall. It shows a light indicating that the battery is in charge even the domain controller in the light does not appear. The laptop must load for at least 1-2 hours before I can activate it. Push the power button to the computer also turn on / off the light sometimes. I can't use the computer at all until the same fully charged battery if light shows it is plugged into the wall. The outlet is fine.

  I also have other issues. First of all the computer not as to the rename files - often said that they are used, but they are not. Secondly, I have problems with toshiba recordnow cd / dvd burning program. I can open the program, but when I close it will not open until I have sign out and then sign back in. Thirdly, my computer love is no longer my sony digital camera memory cards if put directlt in laptop - it is said that they can be dangerous and will not access.

  Thanks for reading!

  PS my laptop does not at all depend on when the battery is removed and the laptop plugged into the wall.

  PPS. my laptop model is Satellite A100 - 163, PSAA9E model number

  Hello

  regarding your power problem:

  It seems that your motherboard is faulty. I had the same issue with an A100 and after replacing the motherboard, the problem has been resolved. They told me it was a kind of resistance or something as preventing the machine from power.

  The question of the name change is only registry related since the registry controls the access to the system. So you log on with an administrator account or with a regular account that was created for do not connect as an administrator of the computer?

  If not please google for "cannot rename files" that gives results much more then ask someone here. The registry could also be a cause for the issuance of recordnow!

  I Don t think that the card of your digital camera and your pc Don t like. Installed antivirus software? This might also be the reason.

  In your case, I suggest to bring your machine to an ASP (authorized service provider) and allow them to perform some checkup and proofreading materials.
  Back up your important data, and then perform a full restore of your machine (can be done with the recovery media supplied).

  See you soon

• Problem with Satellite A300 and Vista 64 bit

  I just bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-1CO model: PSAJ4E-03R015PT, which came with an impressive 4 GB of ram device.
  I knew with Vista 32-bit, only 3 GB would be available, but since I got a license of Vista 64 bit I care, came home and installed it.
  When I looked up the drivers on the toshiba site, no drivers for Vista 64 bit drivers were available!
  I have now 4 GB or RAM available and I also have problems with face recognition software, microfone, sound card, card reader and a few other things.

  I searched the websites manufactors drivers and I managed to get some of these things barely usable, I don't think that it is a SD solution.
  Other laptop brands are made available long drivers for vista 64 bit some of them even for XP 64 bit!

  I would like to know how long take to Toshiba do official drivers available for vista 64 bit on their Web site.

  Best regards, Pedro P.

  I was looking for 64-bit drivers for my laptop, but since this is a new model, the drivers were not yet available. I checked a few weeks later and they were no longer available.

  Just wait awhile, they should be available soon.

• Video problem with Satellite X 200-25 G (PSPB9E)

  Hello

  I have this laptop about a year, and I have a problem with (real) Windows Vista, Windows XP (with the video driver change). Video driver is newest without problems, except one.

  I work with SolidWorks, and the problem is that in this product. You can see the problem, if you see this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wi0gCJTJRrg. Parts only to disappear, even if it is a part, one of the wall of the part go missing (shows as mirror) I tested it with any kind of this product (SolidWorks 2008, 2009) Windows XP, Vista x 32, but every time the same thing.

  Probably the problem isn't in the product (SolidWorks), no doubt that it is not in the software, the driver and the OS (because I tested with two version of nvidia video driver authentic without no problem installing).
  I'm pretty sure that the problem is that video card is not compatible with this product, even the purpose of the video is for multimedia and gaming, which is so close with the work that I do.

  Can you give me some advice? Thanks in advance and sorry for my English skills

  I think that most people here after watching this video will not understand what is your problem.
  In my opinion you should visit the nearest maintainer authorized Toshiba, put your laptop on the desk and explain exactly what kind of problems you have.

  Otherway if you have problems with the third party software you should contact the manufacturer and ask for help. They have the best experience with the own product and I think they can help you about this.
  Computer laptop major manufacturer offers better built-in hardware driver and offer better graphics performance for habit each day working on this laptop model.

  Toshiba and other manufacturers of portable can not test thousands of products available and check the performance of the graphics card.
  Try contacting the support SolidWorks.

  Good luck.

• This HARD drive is compatible with Satellite L30?

  I managed to break (don't ask how) my hard drive on my laptop Satellite L30.
  He will have to find another.

  Could someone help me find where I need?

  Bravo guys

  Hi Matt

  Have you tried to search this forum for more information?
  There are many discussions on models of different laptops and I sure that you might find interesting and useful discussions on the HDD for L30 m.

  For example, I found this thread:
  http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=88214

  The guy said that a 120 GB 2.5 SATA HDD was possible.
  I think you could use a bigger HDD as only 120 GB, you can try a 160 GB if you want.

  Cheers mate
