Hello

Nice to meet you again ;)

First of all, you should check if a DVD player is available for this laptop
Perhaps you could find these info in the manual Toshiba

Sometimes, the preinstalled operating manual provides some details about compatible ratings

The fact is that an ODD (CD/DVD drive) couldn't t unsupported is recognized by the BIOS due to different master/slave/c-salt settings

If you will find all the details in the user's manual then you could contact the ASP in your country and could ask for slim drives compatible

Good luck

  • Satellite Pro 4340: How to get older versions of BIOS?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro 4340 and I recently updated the BIOS from v2.6 to v2.7 unfortunately since then randomly, the laptop freezes and requires a reset. Check the error log indicates a fault in which case the ACPI BIOS is written in an unauthorized area. I would now go back to BIOS version 2.6, however the support from Toshiba site only lists the current BIOS v2.7 and not the older versions. How can I get the old version? Anyone here happen to have a backup?

    Thank you

    Ben.

    Unfortunately, to my knowledge, you will find only the most recent update of the BIOS on Toshiba page.
    I don't think that the authorized service provider is able to downgrade the BIOS to the original version

  • Satellite Pro 4340 is compatible with Wlan?

    my friend has offered its satellite pro 4340 for my work to a level of children. I need to connect to the internet on this subject. what I'd like to know is: is - this compatible with the radio? If I bought this wireless could it be plugged in and used? is this a laptop useless? I have no IDE on computers

    Hello Wendy

    I found some info on this unit, and I'll try to give you some advice on its use. First be sure the unit is in good condition and it starts. This unit is initially shipped with Windows 98SE. According to RAM, you can also use other operating systems.

    Please talk with your friend and ask him which OS is pre-installed and the amount of RAM is here. Maybe someone can give you some useful tips on more operating system installation or how to use it in the best way.

    This laptop is definitely not pointless and it's very good for children and they can use it to learn more about the use of the laptop and also how to deal with operating system (basic knowledge).

    Computer laptop itself has no wireless card but you can use the PCMCIA WLAN card. To find more information please contact your local dealer to PC. They can give you important information about compatibility, and you can also ask them to install the device and also test in store for you.

    If I forgot something please ask again and make your friend under pressure with price. ;)

  • Satellite Pro 4340: Wireless connection problem

    I can't connect my sons Satellite pro 4340 using a belkin preN wireless card Belkin router to take are there problems that I need to know or anyone could do that?

    Hello

    Well, if you want t use WiFi, you must pay attention to the different settings and options.
    First of all, are you sure that you have installed the wireless network card correctly and it appears in Device Manager 100%?
    Please check!

    After the properly installing the LAN on laptop computer card, you must configure the WLan router.
    For most installation instructions delivered with the package and you will need to follow these guidelines!

    For the first time, I would not recommend to set of ciphers.
    You must first test the connection without encryption, and if it works then you can allow it.

  • PCMCIA card does not recognize the connection to the local network on Satellite Pro 4340

    Hello world

    I have 2 Satellite Pro 4340, running Win2K, SP4. I bought a card PCMCIA 10 / 100MB of Ultron (more or less no name :-))

    When you insert the card, Win2k recognizes the card, but when the I plug the network cable, it does not recognize the connection. Cable is fine. It seems there is no power on the PCMCIA card. I read on some forums that there is a problem with the Topic100 Card Bus driver and voltage. I see that many people have the problem but not where to find the driver for the problem :-/ I couldn't find a driver on toshiba support site. A

    ll have an idea, or better a link where I can download this driver? Any help is appreciated and thanks in advance for your help, support and answers.
    Corey

    If this card needs a driver you will not find it on the download page of manufacturer of portable. You must check the card producer site.

    As you know in the world of computers, it has set different standards. Produced very often cheap are not designed for these standards, and you can have different problems. I recommend you to use high quality products.

  • Satellite Pro A10 - updated DVD player

    Hello. I bought this laptop with a DVD player, but upgrade to a DVD - RW so that I can burn DVDs. Anyone know if it is possible to buy an internal DVD RW burner drive for this model of Satellite Pro or should I just a USB external DVD burner?

    Thank you

    Hiya,

    You can certainly replace your DVD drive with a new DVD burner, but you will need to make sure that you get a new device with the same form factor (physical dimensions) and also one that is on the characteristics of good connection (master, slave, or C/salt).

    I suggest that you only contact your nearest ASP to check compatible DVD burners.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite Pro L510 - computer laptop Toshiba DVD - RAM cannot read disks

    My laptop toshiba Satellite Pro L510 computer may not play all discs as I installed Microsoft Expression Studio 4 by using the original CD... now whenever I insert a disc, the dvd - ram turns the disc for a few seconds and thn stops spinnig.

    Then drive shows that there is nothing inside the disk and it is completely empty.

    I can't even restart my operating system discs cannot be read from the bios either.
    I uninstalled the drive, the updated drivers, but it did not help. Please help me, I really need to use dvd ram... I use windows xp sp2 and using the laptop for 8-9 months...

    Help, please!

    http://www.Microsoft.com/UK/expression/products/StudioUltimate_SysRequirements.aspx
    According to this statement you must have installed Windows XP SP3 home edition.

    Your ad is a bit confusing to me. You have a problem with the functionality of DVD - RAM or optical disc drive cannot read all drives (different CD, DVD, DVD - R formats. DVD + R and so on)?

    I put t know what is the problem with the optical disc drive, but way generally, an installation of software packages has nothing to do with ODD when you use it as first boot device.
    > I can not even restart my operating system discs cannot be read from the BIOS either.
    Restart or reinstall?
    Is a readable recovery DVDs when you try to start the recovery image installation?

  • Satellite Pro A300: Win 7 Upgrade DVD does not list my laptop model

    I bought a Satellite Pro A300 that came with Windows Vista pre-installed on it. I was offered a Windows 7 Uprgrade for 30 by Toshiba that I bought and got 2 discs:

    (1) Windows 7 Upgrade disc
    (2) Toshiba Win7 Drivers Upgrade drive

I tried to install the drivers on the disk for the OEM software such as drivers of web cam (which are not available online), but they do not work. Also now my DVD player does not open and I can't view the contents of the disc?

    Can someone advise who I come into contact with to get a drive for my laptop model?

    Have you tried to choose another model instead of your laptop model?
    Do this!

    By the way; all Win7 drivers can be downloaded from the page of European driver from Toshiba:

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300D - firmware for the DVD player?

    Hello

    I recently got a nice new Satellite Pro A300D of my work and was just my typical thing to go through the update of their efforts. However, when you try to update the firmware of the DVD drive for my particular model (PSAK9E-00C003EN), I realized that the firmware he suggested was wrong. After watching on my pc, I discovered that my drive is Pioneer DVD - RW DVRTD08A (1.50), but I can't find information anywhere on the net about the updates of the firmware (or the existence of this drive at all!). Could someone point me in the direction of some information and firmware more recent if it exists?

    Thanks for any info that someone has!

    Willybob

    Satellite Pro A300D was equipped of various CD/DVD players.
    On the Toshiba driver page, you can find an update of the firmware that came out for a CD/DVD drive that was not installed in your laptop and so you can not install this update.

    If you are unable to find an update of the firmware of your CD/DVD drive, then an update doesn't exist and is not necessary!
