Qosmio overheats after an hour and some ODD does not read some DVD

OK here is the first:

I've had my Qosmio for about 4 months now, and everything has been for the most part works well. Recently, it seems that my computer has heating in an hour or two more.

I used to be on it all day when I got it and never came across this problem. I checked the 'suckage' of the air vents on the bottom and noticed that one of the two events seem to be sucking air. I was wondering if one is saposed to work, if it didn't is that you say, I have to do to solve this problem.

Second question:
When I got my laptop hard drive wouldn't read no matter WHAT disc I put in it. It wouldn't read any games, I tried to download. So I called toshiba tech support and they helped me to get it fixed and now it will read my games and CD but it will not always read my DVD I try and watch.

Should I call tech support and ask for help again?

Thanks for the help

Hey,.

What laptop Qosmio you have exactly?
On the problem of overheating can dust blocks a good air circulation. You must clean your laptop with a jet of compressed air. This can blow the dust from the cooling fans. Spray of compressed air can be bought from every store in the computer normally.

Regarding your other question, can start you on DVD for example? You should try to remove the upper and lower filters in the registry: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314060
May be there is dust on the lens. You need to clean the lens of the CD/DVD drive using a microfibre cloth. It s worth a try! ;)

  • Satellite L650 - ODD does not read most of the CD or DVD after BIOS update

    While DVD copy, asked me to do an upgrade of the bios for the included software on my laptop, so I thought that coming from toshibsa, it must be safe. I closed all my apps and let the update occur, restarted my pc and tried to continue to copy my dvd.

    Now my dvd writer does not read most of my CD or DVD, original as well.
    I managed to get hold of my previous Bios version after a battle before the update to see if I can go back to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated I have two days to copy 100 DVDs for a customer and I can't do it now,

    > I can return to my old version, but the executable file runs a program that says the version is older then the one I use, so it will not load it

    I don t think that the BIOS is the problem here, the point is that CD and DVD support details are stored in the firmware of the CD/DVD drive and NOT in the BIOS of the laptop.
    So in my opinion the update of the BIOS is not the reason for your problem.

    I think you should check if cleaning the laser lens allows you to read discs.
    Use a fluid wadding tip and alcohol to gently clean the laser lens.

  • My reading and writing system does not recognize the DVD. For this CD. I don't know why.

    For a long time my system CD/DVD in my laptop Del Estudio 1537 worked perfect. But all of a sudden my computer does not recognize or read or burn DVDs. Can you help me fix this problem?

    Hello

    You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
    Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
    correctly.

    Burning at low speed, or by using the master could help. A CD/DVD cleaner might help.

    Brand of the CD or DVD drive can also be the problem. Low quality (cheap brands) are always problematic.

    CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
    tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.

    Notes on the troubleshooting and repair of readers of compact disks and CD-ROM Drives
    http://www.repairfaq.org/repair/F_cdfaq7.html#CDFAQ_014

    ===========================================

    This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
    a shot.

    Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
    a process that solves the problem.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
    Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
    RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
    below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
    cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both
    ends. Remove and replace, do not just tight. For laptops, you can often clean power and
    contacts data with a pencil eraser.

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and
    manufacturer of device to see if there is a firmware or drivers for your drive if necessary.

    ===============================

    Step 2: You have disc problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD
    Burn and CD and DVD read). So it is not unusual for 1 or 2 operational so that other parts
    do it right.

    Did you follow the Troubleshooting Guide for the reader who still does not work? There are
    the entries in registry that the troubleshooter does not solve and those who "might" be the cause.

    Check with your Maker system and a device for the two possible firmware updates and
    the correct registry entries for your car.

    Here are the keys that I of course are those in question - for the subkeys of the CD/DVD drive
    as there will be other subkeys in these keys. Do not forget to ask specific keys involved as well as
    the parameters.

    Vista recovery media obtain and/or use the Partition Recovery Vista on your computer to the factory settings .

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    Contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send a recovery disk/s Vista set.

    Normally, they do this for a cost of $ small.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    In addition, ask them if you have a recovery Partition on your computer/laptop to restore it to factory settings.

    See if a manual provided with the computer or go to the manufacturer's website, email or you can call for information on how to make a recovery.

    Normally, you have to press F10 or F11 at startup to start the recovery process...

    Another way I've seen on some models is press F8 and go to a list of startup options, and launch a recovery of standards of plant with it, by selecting the repair option.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Also ask them if it is possible to do the recovery disk/s for the recovery Partition in case of a system Crash or hard drive failure.

    They will tell you how to do this.

    Every computer manufacturer has their own way of making recovery disk/s.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Or borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, Acer, recovery disk/s etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

    If install a cleaning is required with a good DVD of Vista (not HP, Dell recovery disks):

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go to Setup/Bios or F12 for the Boot Menu

    Go to your Bios/Setup, or the Boot Menu at startup and change the Boot order to make the DVD/CD drive 1st in the boot order, then reboot with the disk in the drive.

  • I bought Flash Professional CC and my computer does not read CC animate, I learned computer science is the same but I need Flash Professinal CC because it's for school

    I already down loaded CC animate, I don't want to see one if I want to see Fl I bought this program due to the class and thought it would make my life easier to do their homework.

  • Remote control does not work, and the load does not appear on Apple TV

    Hello

    I just returned from vacation and my remote seems has stopped working.   Naturally, my first assumption was that the charge was simply exhausted.

    Apparently that was the case.   He seems to have just died.

    I did pay for more than two hours and it still does not appear under devices Apple TV.

    My Apple TV 4 works very well because I use the remote control of my phone to navigate through it.

    If I understand correctly what I look at you, it seems that the remote control is same not synchronized or recognized by Apple TV more.

    Any suggestions on how to fix this?

    A reset is complete? Restart... no change.

    Thank you

    Bob

    1. Have you tried pressing the menu and the button for a few seconds while it now an inch or two away from the Apple TV, if successful, you should see a message on the screen saying the remote was paired.
    2. If you have an older remote from a previous model MacBook or Apple TV, you can use to restore the Apple TV, which, in many cases, has been sufficient to reactivate the remote Siri. You must complete all upward to undertake a restoration.
    3. If you have a USB cable - C you can try to restore by connecting it to iTunes on a computer.
    4. If you have tried all of these steps, don't have a distance sooner or a USB - C cable or their use is too inconvenient, return it to the store where purchased for a replacement, or to couple for you.
