Re: Optical drive on Satellite C850-1MC does not work correctly

Hello

Optical drive on my Satellite C850-1MC is malfunctioning.

The drive made all the right noises and will show the CD coming in the my computer window, it will show the different tracks of audio CD but with only 1 KB of data showing and will not play any of the tracks.

Any thoughts greatly appreciated.

Thank you very much

Eldon

> it will show the different tracks of audio CD but with only 1 KB of data showing and will not play any of the tracks

Dude, this isn't question of CD/DVD drive

I guess you see the files with .cda extension
These files are not real audio files, but this is the format used to encode the music on all commercial compact discs.
Unfortunately, the computer cannot store files in CDA format.
These audio files must be converted to another format by using the converter of 3rd party software

  • C50-B-14Z satellite - Wi - Fi does not work correctly

    I bought my laptop 1 week ago (Satellite C50-B-14Z), but the wifi does not work properly. Most of the time, looks like it's connected to my network without any problems. However, it does not work, I cannot surf the web.

    The router is new and all the conection was verified by a member of the staff of the internet society.

    What can I do? All software are updated.

    Thank you.

    As indicated by the previous user; first of all, you should check if the connection to the internet s notebook would work using the LAN.

    In which case you will be able to connect to the internet using LAN, you should check the WLan settings.

    For example: I recommend you to disable the WLan encryption (in router configuration menu) and to test the WiFi connection to an open (unsecured) wireless LAN.

    Of course, this should only be done for testing purposes.

    In the case where the connection would work, test different types of encryption (WPA/WPA2 AES, TKIP)

    The problem is that I installed Windows on my new pc.

    Also the symbols on my desk are no longer correspond with the keys on the keyboard.

    For example on my keyvorad the F12 key is to turn on the WiFi network, but it is shown as F8 on the desktop by pressing fn. But if I'm getting close F8 it does not work as well

    Because the touchpad think he used this effects my LT performance! Any clues guys.

    Oh and Fn + F9 turns off the TP but the indication remains the same.

  • Integrated on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work

    Hi all

    the built-in on my Satellite T130 webcam does not work.

    I use Windows 7 Home Premium and already reinstalled the drivers of webcam 64-bit through this Web site. However, when I click on the webcam application, simply, nothing happens - program doesn't open at all or turn off instantly. Skype is not also acknowledge a cam. In addition, there is no webcam in Device Manager (a not detected USB device however) and no symbol of cam in the Ribbon of Toshiba quicklaunch, which is like the camera is started according to the "manual".

    Someone has an idea what is the problem? Looks like a common problem according to Google, but no suggestions other than to reinstall the drivers. Perhaps another application blocking the camera? Firewall settings?

    I'd appreciate any help, thank you.

    Best regards Florian

    > a USB not detected if

    Maybe it's the webcam from the webcam is connected to the internal USB controller on the motherboard.

    It looks like a webcam driver is not installed correctly.
    Try the webcam driver released for the satellite t230 or other series of satellites.
    Versions are newer

    Also recommend that you check the BIOS settings.
    In some cases, the BIOS contains a webcam option where the webcam can be turned on and off.

  • Satellite U200 - sound does not work after the installation of Win8.1

    Hello guys,.

    I have some old Satellite U200-165. I installed windows 8.1 Enterprise assessment successfully after that I changed the hard drive SSD, but the sound does not work. Windows showing that his work perfectly, but it does not come out.

    An advise please.

    Satellite U200 is a pretty old and not supported for Win8 or Win8.1 machine. I think that we have no report on this forum how this old piece of equipment works with Win8.

    If the sound card is properly installed, have you checked all the sound settings?

  • Satellite A350 - Touchpad does not work, but an external mouse works

    Satellite A350 Touchpad does not work ok (unstable system and left button not loaded).

    I tried to make the driver but nothing. No problem drivers (conf system). I have the driver for the touchpad stroped and with an external mouse everything is working properly.

    What should I do? Don't you think it's hard or soft the problem. * The touchpad is NEVER worked.*

    Thank you, and sorry for my bad English. :-(

    Hello!

    The touchpad does appear in Device Manager or you have here yellow exclamation points?

    Like Akuma says you can enable or disable the touchpad with FN + F9 key combination.
    Did you check that?

    In the worst cases, you must go to an ASP. It seems to be a hardware malfunction, and this must be checked by a technician of the laptop. Here, you can search the nearest ASP:

  • Satellite L300D - 12L does not work

    Hi, my Satellite L300D - 12L does not work.

    I was on windows and it came with a blue screen with white writing on it. I didn't see what he said.
    It turned off my laptop. Then it restarted. He got to the screen saying: start the system restart and start windows normally.

    I did the repair of launch option. He said windows loads the files then pulls up to the Microsoft loading bar then the screen turns white for centuries, just with the arrow cursor. I tried to leave two repair a normal but get the same.

    What can I do? Any ideas?

    Looks like Windows is damaged. I would run Recovery by pressing zero during power on. Backup your data first, because the rags for HARD drive recovery.

    Also check the RAM. www.memtest.org is a bootable CD or a FD

  • Satellite A210 - BIOS does not work after upgrade

    Hello

    I have a satellite A210-17 for a few years now, but I made the mistake to go to the Microsoft Web site
    to make a BIOS setting to day and once I installed upgrading BIOS, that the laptop did not return ever on, black screen.

    I brought a guy in the month city 3 or 4 he is, he said, it could replace a bios chip if necessary
    but did nothing or I would have heard of him now.

    Is it possible that I can get the bios chip and have him install for me?
    I don't have 200 euros to replace the whole motherboard.

    This laptop was brilliant before that.

    Thanks in advance

    Update the BIOS is a very serious procedure, and the use of fake and not compatible BIOS would damage the motherboard.

    To be honest, I don t think that the replacement of the EPROM would help you that of course, the BIOS is stored on EPROM module but in most cases this chip is soldered to the motherboard and the EPROM replacement will not be easy

    To my knowledge the EPROM module could be flashed once more using the crisis disk BIOS and the special procedure. Usually, these updates of the crisis of the BIOS can be done by maintainer authorized Toshiba and that don t require the replacement of the EPROM module.

    I also read in this forum that some guy tried to Flash the EPROM module to clean hands in some cases, it worked, but in different cases such update does not work correctly

    However, I recommend you to use the advanced search option forum and check a few different discussions on crisis disk BIOS / update

    Otherwise I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP in your country and products BIOS Update of the crisis

  • Satellite A660 Wireless does not work: how to turn on the wireless switch?

    Wireless to the new laptop just stopped working. When I press Fn + f8 it says: Wireless Communication is disabled. Please activate the Wireless Communication switch.

    I tried to disable and enable wireless, update (Realtek PCie FE family controller) and Broadcom 802.11n network adapter driver and load the default settings in the Bios but nothing has worked. The button on the top panel wireless is turned on and when I press the button, a window called support thoshiba button jump upward and said: the key has not been configured.

    Hello

    Please reinstall the Wlana driver and try again. (Do not to update to uninstall the old driver, restart the device and install the new drivers)
    In most cases these disorders Wlan is displayed if the WiFi driver does not work correctly.
    Given that all other laptops are ok, I think that it is a temporal matter in the registry or something like that

    PS: It is possible that the FN buttons do not work corectly. Therefore, you can reinstall the VAP (value added package) and support of card Flash Utility so in order to reconfigure the FN keys.

  • Satellite M70 - screen does not work properly

    Hello world

    My screen on the laptop does not work correctly. He sometimes starts to white and becomes inadmissible. I followed the problem down, I think of what I can only describe as a fluorescent light ballast in the upper left of the screen (when looking from the front). If I use a clothes pin and apply steady pressure in the upper left corner, it is achievable. That is to say I can still use it.

    But barely.

    When disassemble the screen there is a kind of metal plate on the side of the screen and there is a part called electw f-1 94v-0 coming in contact with this piece of metal. My guess is that the two pieces have shorted or well have become loose such as tightening this part of the screen made it work again. There are discolorations burned on the piece of metal and the underlying aluminum backup that spans the entire screen. There is also a very slight discoloration burned on the play in question also.

    But as I said that the screen still works if I apply the necessary pressure in the upper left corner (currently with a clothes PIN).

    I have no money and cannot pay to have this problem so I have to come with an eraser he togetether solution myself or end without a laptop.

    What is this part? Part of 94v-0 f - 1 of the Electw? It is manufactured by Tyco Electronics, but in a search on their site I could not find it. And Googling shows up nothing important. There are two of these parties behind the screen on my Toshiba. The one on the right and one on the left.

    They are sodered to two sons, one black and one white that goes down to the area of FL Inverter.

    I know it's a long shot, but I wonder what that these pieces don't and if there is no hope for a temporary solution that will alleviate me of having to use a clothes pin in the upper left corner of the screen to get the screen to work. Perhaps by folding the parts to better contact with this or that. I tried to move a party earlier that helped a little but not much.

    It's got so bad that it sparkles now... a little constantly. Very annoying. But... still usable.

    Any input would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Carlos

    If the part is attached to the screen, then you will need to replace the LCD screen, or ask someone to fix it if possible.

    You can not buy the different parts of a strainer.

    If you are referring to the wiring harness/LCD screen, then you can buy a replacement at a cheap price. They are not expensive.
