Re: Satellite L350 - 20G + CD disc recognition

Hello

The hard drive has never worked on this laptop.

There is no source indicated settings - Action - Source.

How can I get the laptop to recognize the drive?

Please notify

> The hard drive has never worked on this laptop.
To be honest, this statement is very strange. How you can use some mobile if some hardware component does not work on the first day? Why didn t make you claim or contacted Toshiba service to fix it?

I assume that you write to the optical disk drive. Is this correct?
Optical drive is recognized in the BIOS?
Is also listed in Device Manager?

    Have you checked the adapter? The power is ON?

    Possibly a defective power adapter could be the reason why the battery can not be charged and why the laptop stops during the startup process

    Hello!

    Just a question: why do you think an upgrade of CPU so just got this laptop? Why you didn t buy a laptop with Pentium processor?

    In any case, an upgrade of the CPU is not supported and you will lose the warranty. In addition, I think that the BIOS and motherboard do not work with the other CPU.

    The different colors that appear on the screen could be related to the problem of graphics card. But its really hard to tell if it s a problem with the GPU or motherboard only

    However, in your case there are not many options, the material needs to be scanned / verified if the authorized service partner is the next point, you need to contact.

  • Satellite L350 - 20G - how to connect it to the TV?

    Hello

    I bought a Satellite L350 - 20G on Tuesday and just have a question, it will probably be the first of many! I was wondering if anyone knows if you can connect to this laptop to a TV via a cable? If so should which cable I buy?

    Thank you

    JEM

    Hello!

    I think that it of very easy to connect your laptop to an external monitor or TV. If he doesn t have an HDMI port, you must use the laptop VGA port. Therefore, you need a VGA cable and, in addition, a VGA adapter RCA if your TV isn't equipped with VGA port.

    If you are looking for on eBay or online shops for VGA or VGA to RCA cable, you should find enough results! ;)

    And in your user manual, you can also find information on the use of the external monitors. You can switch with FN + F5 the monitor then.

  • Can satellite L350 - 20G - I use the keys function for iTunes?

    I have a L350 - 20G.
    Is it possible to get the funcion of buttons at the top of the laptop (play/pause stop; back; before) to work with iTunes?

    Thank you

    Hello!

    As far as I know, you can only configure the first button that starts the application (iTunes).
    The other buttons you mean like play, stop and pause can t be configured. There is no tool to Toshiba for this available.

    I don't use iTunes, WinAmp you can configure the functionality of the button but I put t know if iTunes allows you to adapt these settings too.
    Try it and post your result. :)

  • Audio serious buffering of problems L350 - 20G / FA-66 / Expresscard Firewire

    Hello

    I'm after some advice about this frustrating; I used to have a Toshiba Equium A100 - 02L I used in conjunction with my Edirol FA - 66 firewire audio interface, that I used for about 3 years with no problems. The laptop took a battering to concerts and other things kicking so I decided to upgrade.

    I went for the Satellite L350 - 20G and have tried to get my work with it through the use of am ST LAB Express card double 6-pin firewire port with a TI FA-66 chipset. I tried to use this in XP / Windows 7/Vista with no good result. I have made sure I have all the latest drivers for all platforms and made sure I GL40 chipset driver installed and still the same result audio seems to be severely low resolution or buffers and chops the audio to the top.

    This t really shouldn't happen I don't know, but am pretty out of options. Another comment on the express card slot is the slot is wide like a PCMCIA slot and it does it not very well Express card. I feel a little cheated on this and had a lot of faith in my old Toshiba but now wonder what the hell to do what I bought this laptop for Audio / production.

    All the tips are greatly appreciated.

    As far as I know, and I saw him in textbooks too, while your computer you can use ExpressCard34 or ExpressCard54, both with 26 pins. You can see them HERE.

  • Cannot create Windows DVD, burning the disc - Satellite L350

    Can someone help I'm on a Toshiba satellite L350
    I'm trying to burn a DVD with Windows DVD maker. It is the fourth I've done and the previous ones were all OK.

    I can't burn the DVD, I tried both types of disc and made about 10 attempts today.
    When I try to burn it starts OK then I get about 34% and get an error message

    I had two different error messages, it says "cannot create the DVD error unspecified.". "
    The other says "cannot create DVD catastrophic failure"

    As Akuma wrote, it can be a problem creating Windows DVD and has nothing to do with the functionality of optical disc drive. It is good to check the updates.

    Can you test the WEIRD feature using a different burning application?

    Hello

    Maybe it s disc HARD issue you may try to check if the HARD drive is recognized and listed in the BIOS. In order to access the BIOS, you will need to press F2, immediately after the laptop has been turned on.

    By the way; here in the forum, you can find a category that offers useful movies how to replace a HARD drive:

  • Satellite L350-17Z: Question recovery disc creation - problem with calibration

    I'm eager to get win xp instead of vista current on Satellite L350-17Z because some soft is not stable and vulnerabilities, while under xp on the desktop computer, I had no problem. XP compatibility mode is not solve this problem.

    So I decided to do it in a cruel manner as a laptop is new and almost empty, not to mention the habit of hard drive xp. Still I tried to make a recovery, using TOSHIBA Recovery Disc Creator.

    Buta * during DVD burning there is a fault and message about some problems with the calibration. I tried a few discs - same result.

    Hi Snen,

    It would be interesting to know what CD/DVD drive you have. Maybe you should try to update the firmware of the drive. For some readers of Toshiba and Pioneer, the site shows an update of the firmware. It s worth a try!

    Then. After making myself offline, I made a full start up which worked. Went back online and found my McAfee was disabled himself, was not protected... reinstalled it... all seems well now.

  • New recovery for Satellite L350-170 discs save updates?

    I just restored my Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit OS on my Toshiba Satellite L350-170, using the recovery disks that I created 4 years when I bought my laptop.

    After you restore the operating system, it took the better part of a day to install all the Microsoft updates, including Service Pack 2 Vista and other programs that I use (e.g. MS Office, Real player, AVG etc.).

    Now everything is up to date, I have created a new hard disk system restore point and run the Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. Just out of curiosity, will be created until the last restore point recovery disks or it again just the discs that I have, that restore it to factory settings?

    If this only restores to factory settings, is there a way to create a system disk to get back to the point that it is now?

    Creation of recovery disks has nothing to do with the points and restore your settings.
    Recovery recorded on the HARD disk image is created long ago and contains all the necessary parameters created at this time.

    Creator of recovery disc just copy this recovery image on empty media.

    Whenever you use recovery discs, you will own BONES without updates and you must repeat this installation of additional updates.

  • Update hard disc on Satellite L350 - 10L

    Thank you
    Chris

    Hello Chris

    Very long ago I had Satellite L300 and this series is known for me.
    At that time I didn't even think about these updates.
    The Satellite L Series notebooks are machines of low budget and hardware configuration is not one that suits.
    In other words, they are designed for daily activities. I can understand that you may want to increase the performance of your hardware, but my personal opinion is that the SSD is not the best solution. In my opinion you should not spend a lot of money for upgrades. Memory improve maximum and that s.

  • Satellite L350-171 - where to get the DVD to upgrade Toshiba (Vista to W7)

    Hello world

    I have a Satellite L350-171 and got a W7 DVD update "awhile." I get only round to install now and the first thing I see in the instructions, it's that I should have a upgrade DVD Toshiba, which I did :-(

    Anyone know where I can get one, or if I need any? If not then can I just upgrade and hope that all drivers updated automatically? Sounds a bit risky

    I hope this is the right place to ask.
    If it isn't then point me in the right direction and I'll ask here rather :-)

    Thanks in advance for any help

    Damian

    A few years ago, Toshiba offered this upgrade program.
    It's over and you can't upgrade drive more.

    What you can do is be upgraded using the original disc of Microsoft, but I think you should do clean install Win7. Your model of laptop is supported for Win7 and all necessary drivers, tools and utilities that you can download at Toshiba support page http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    Before starting with the upgrade Win7 create original Vista recovery DVDs.
    If you need assistance with installing Win7 or if you have other questions, you are welcome.

Insert the diskette and reboot the laptop. Then follow the instructions on the screen and that's it. Knowledge, during the recovery process that your computer restarts repeatedly :)
