Re: Satellite A205-S5825 - not recognized by firewire DV camcorder

I have a Satellite A205-S5825 and I can't recognize my Canon DV camcorder connected by a firewire cable.

The same camera works perfectly with my desktop PC. My wife also has a Satellite, an A215 and it does not recognize the camcorder either. All 3 computers are running XP SP3.

Can anyone throw any light on this? I really want to use my laptop for video editing, as my office is somewhere else.

Thanks in advance

What do you mean with the camera is not recognized? You get a notification that a device is connected or you see an unknown device in Device Manager?
Have you installed the software for the camera?

Maybe you can solve the problem with an update of the BIOS. Check this on the Toshiba site:

  • Need to file for "TOHSIBA Recovery Disc Creator" on Satellite A205-s5825

    Hello

    I've got Satellite A205-s5825
    Well, I'm 4,000 km of distance from my Toshiba Recovery DVD, comes with the box.
    No problem - I can use the recovery disk creator... so I thought.

    The laptop is less than a week in use, no partitions are changed, etc.
    Well, page 59 of my guide tells me to 0 (zero) button while turning on the machine to start in the partition recovery... No, this won't work. I tried many different variations.

    And 60 page told me to use the 'Office' for the Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator icon.
    No, there is no icon. It is the same graph icon here, but it is for "Toshiba Software Updates" and not "Recovery Disc Creator"

    Toshiba Assist (executable program)... No, not help for this.
    I looked in every path of C: trying to find out what executable mystery... and also any exploration of menu start... nothing.

    I need Windows executable for "Recovery Disc Creator". (need name of file as trdc.exe or something else)
    Anyone know it?

    Thank you

    (P.S. Shell repair when pressing F8 and asking "repair my computer" also does not provide the option to create recovery discs.
    It assumes that you have already created those when in the shell.)

    Hello

    It seems that it is not a European model possibly the American TV series so I put t know exactly how it works in the portable American TV series but by pressing the F8 key, and then choosing the option fix my computer would start the HDD recovery procedure.
    It would be the same as restoring from Recovery CD or DVD.

    The Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator must be also installed somewhere on the HARD drive.
    I think you should check the folder programs and Toshiba.

  • Satellite L10 - battery not recognized by Vista MS

    Hello

    I use MS Vista on my Satellite L10 and everything works great except my battery which is not recognized by Vista. There is just an unknown device in my equipment manager. In the section on the homepage Toshiba drivers I couldn't find a driver or other instructions. The MS Hotline told me this isn't their but question Toshibas.

    I hope that this forum is someone who can help me solve the problem. I just want to know if my battery has enough power for 20 minutes or 2 hours and I really hate it if my laptop is suddenly out of power.

    Thanks in advance.
    Christoph

    Hello

    You have installed Vista on the L10?
    Wow I know Satellite L10 is not Vista capable and you should be happy that this OS works without big worries on this Satellite phone.

    However, I recommend the Vista update to the last State, to install the compatible chipset from Intel page.

    But I assume that the BIOS on this laptop is not fully Vista capable that this question therefore appears on the L10.

  • Battery satellite L750 / 04K not recognized

    Hi all

    I have 2 laptops from Toshiba, a C650D & L750 / 04 k. The two laptops have exactly the same battery (PA3817U-1BRS. L750 battery couldn't hold a charge so I changed the C650 battery in the L750 & worked well.
    Got a spare battery (PA3634U-1BAS) & charged in the C650-has worked very well!

    But won't work in the L750!
    Doesn't load & PC turns not (led flashes orange-low batteries).
    Seems that the replacement battery is not recognized. Is this a compatibility issue?
    If Yes, what is the right battery for L750 / 04K?

    Any suggestions appreciated

    Best regards, mrpringle

    Hello

    I found information on European for L750 page on compatible batteries and follow the batteries are compatible with this model of laptop:

    PA3757U-1BRS
    PA3787U-1BRS
    PA3817U-1BRS
    PA3818U-1BRS

  • Satellite 1800 is not recognizing the hard drive of 80G

    I recently bought a store and save 2500 80 external to free up hard drive space on my laptop. Deliberately, I bought a disc that was backward compatible with my USB 1.1 (assuming) ports. When I plug it in, the external drive turns on and it beeps constantly but is not recognized by my PC. I tried the drive in a desktop computer and it works fine - so were excluded from the unit malfunctions. I uninstalled the USB drives and re-installed, etc, but no luck.

    Any ideas of what I can do?

    What form factor is this player 'record and store? It's a 3.5 "or a smaller as 2.5"? And how the HARD drive is powered? With two USB connectors or an external AC adapter?

    It would be useful to know some information about everything that solve your problem.

  • Satellite L650 - network not recognized

    Hello!

    I just bought a new laptop of Toshiba Satellite L650 with Windows 7 pre-installed. I tried to install my internet high speed wireless on the laptop, but I try to connect every time, the network status box indicates that the network cannot be identified (public network) and there is no access to the network. The thing is, the connections for the modem Wireless Manager shows that it + is + connected and this was confirmed by my internet provider - to their end, looks like I'm connected. I downloaded and installed all the drivers for the modem and the software updated and has not made a difference. I also contacted the center of support for my security software and they can't identify the problem either - I've disabled the firewall completely and it made no difference. I don't really know what is happening, as far as I can connect to another wireless network, I have very well via a different USB modem with another provider, as well as my home network LAN.

    If someone could help me, the exact details are:

    -Phone: Satellite L650
    -OS: Windows 7 Home Edition
    -Wireless provider: Bigpond (Australia)
    -Network: Bigpond wireless 3G
    -Modem: Maxon BP3 - EXT Modem (connects to the pc via USB and is about 2 years old. It is identified by my supplier as compatible Windows 7)
    -Software security: McAfee Total Protection 2011

    I looked online to try to find a solution, but a lot of it is so technical that I do not understand.

    Thank you very much.

    Hey,.

    Your ad is somehow a bit confusing you speak without wire and then update driver for the modem.

    If you want to connect to your router wireless using the internal WLAN card you need to update the WIFI card driver that you can download from this page:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    So, how do you go online? You write something on the USB modem. Is your router or what exactly?

    You can also try to disable the McAfee software to see if it blocks the Internet connection or not.

  • Satellite A205-S5825 - a few brown spots in the corners of my screen

    Hi, I noticed for a few days there are a few brown spots in the corners of my screen. They are behind the screen, nothing has been overthrown. Anyone has any idea what this could be?

    Thank you

    Hello

    First of all, you should tell us which laptop computer and operating system you have.

    I put t know what the reason is for this, but first you must simply determine if it s a question of internal or not display. Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to your laptop and check the top image.
    If you n t have the same question it s a problem of display internal and I think that it should be replaced.

  • Satellite A205-S5880 (PSAE3U) downgrade Vista to XP - does not detect HARD drive

    Hi all
    I got this hair loss situation, I had a satellite A205 - S5880 (PSAE3U) and decided to downgrade to XP, I got all ready drivers for XP (I have the EMEA support site and the wireless from a Czech website), I have my windows XP SP2 g CD and I get after loading everything Since the CD that my HD is not detected or not recognized and it tells me to make sure I have connected (I know I do).

    After doing a search of loong on the web, I discovered I have need the drivers (or something like that) to my HD which is a Hitachi HTS542520K9SA00 ATA Device (200 GB, 5400 RPM, SATA). My bios won't let me put my SATA to IDE (or something like that) also to update and nothing, please I need my Windows XP CD to read my HARD drive, and I can take care of the rest (at least I think so, otherwise I'll ask again: D).

    I also found that I can watch my motherboard chipset for motherboard for my HD controller, it ' s (i think) a toshiba ILHAM v1.00 or Intel Crestline - GM GM965.
    Maybe this info also works: Intel ICH8M

    Hello!

    You will find hundreds of discussions here in the forum about this, if you install Windows XP and Vista from a Microsoft disc and the HARD drive can't be detected... So he s strange to read these questions again and again.

    However, to install Windows, you need the SATA drivers or let's say the Intel Storage Manager package. It contains the driver you need. You can then create a new installation using nLite [www.nliteos.com]
    Or look you at this Toshiba document: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9401AN0000R01.htm

  • Satellite A205-S5804 does not start.

    My computer does not start Satellite A205-S5804.
    It does not work in safe mode, and it will not work with the system restore.

    It stays black with a cursor, if anything.

    How to on my computer?

    Hello

    You have a cursor blinking in the upper left corner?
    In this case, you should check the disk HARD has been recognized by the BIOS.

    If the HARD drive is listed in the BIOS then I would recommend checking the HARD drive using s drive fitness test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm

    To run the test of fitness of s by car, you must download the appropriate creator or image and create a support of auto-start.

  • Satellite A205: Vista & BIOS does not recognize the CD/DVD drive

    After a crash of the sudden family Vista system premium on a Toshiba Satellite A205 the system does not recognize the DVD CD - RW drive. Neither in Explorer, Device Manager, nor BIOS.

    Laptop is only a few months old.
    Have you tried the Toshiba check system - it ignores DVD disk check.
    Tried Windows Update - does not help.
    Tried registry fix - does not help.

    Cannot use the CD to reinstall all drivers - because it is not recognized.
    The DVD drive LED is on. If the disk looks ok physically.

    Does anyone have an idea what to do?

    Very strange what s
    Try this:

    Access the BIOS and set the default settings and save the changes.
    If it doesn't help then I put t see any other possibilities for contact ASP in your country for a CD/DVD drive control and possibly a replacement

    You said that the notebook is only several months old so I assume that the warranty is still valid and that's why everything has to be done for free

    Good luck my friend

  • Satellite A200 PSAF6A - HARD drive is not recognized. No recovery of product

    The drive HARD in my Toshiba Satellite A200 PSAF6A-0US01N is not recognized in the machine or any other computer, so I can't run any windows/toshiba repair.

    I know that readers have a factory reset hidden on the disc and press 0 to the power upward, but with the unreadable disk, how can I repair my installation of Windows Vista?

    Hello

    If the HARD drive is not recognized by the BIOS or other laptops, then I would say that your HARD drive is defective.
    In this case, you need to replace the HARD drive.
    In this case, you will not be able to start the recovery procedure from the HARD drive because it works badly as he has already said

    Are you from the Australia? If you need a recovery disk, I recommend contacting the local Toshiba ASP to get this drive

  • Satellite Click Mini L9W - keyboard not recognized B

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Tablet PC Satellite click Mini L9W - B. The keyboard is not recognized on this subject.

    I tried to clean the connector, restart the Tablet several times, tried to load with or whitout the keyboard, but nothing works!
    I do not think that the problem is with the battery, as I've seen on other topics as the tablet doesn't detect even the keyboard when I plug. The Tablet does not detect the keyboard battery.

    So, if you can give me advice or assistance to solve my problem, I would appreciate :-)

    He has no communication with the keyboard at all? (No battery detected, the touch pad and the keyboard does not?) There must be a link related question, I guess. If it was a driver related issue, then the battery would at least get detected)

    If you want to void your warranty, you can open the Tablet and keyboard dock and check that the Ribbon connectors or / and remove and replace the Ribbon connectors connectors in
