Re: Satellite Pro A300 - DVD drawer will not open most of the time

I have a portable Satellite Pro A300-1NH. The DVD drawer opens not most of the time. Sometimes it does, but most of the time it isn't.
Sometimes, if I can get a DVD/CD in the drawer for something to burn, burning works.
Most of the time the computer does not recognize that there is a disc, and then I can't open the drawer again to get it out.

Can anyone tell a novice what should I do to resolve this issue please?

It looks like a mechanical problem. You need to replace or insert a PIN or no folded into a small hole on the plateau near the exit button whenever he is stuck.

  • Re: Satellite Pro A300 - recovery disk will reinstall Windows OS on the new HARD drive

    Hard drive of my Satellite Pro A300 failed. It has now been replaced. I ordered a recovery disk.
    This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?

    Also, I get this message "BOOTMGR MISSING". The recovery disc will fix this problem too?
    Thanks in advance!

    > I ordered a recovery disk. This will allow me to reinstall Windows Vista OS that is installed initially?
    Yes. Without a doubt.

    New HARD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS settings?
    If so avoid any problem.

    Moreover, A300 works perfectly and much better with Win7 32 bit.

  • Satellite A300 DVD tray will not open and cause high CPU utilization peaks

    Hello

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 - 1 MM and I have a problem with the optical drive (Mat * un DVD Ram Uj880as):

    DVD - RAM plateau sometimes refuse to open. The LED lights up briefly, but still nothing. Windows recognize the drive but the plateau of refuses to open. Eject commands the position of work and management of the computer-> disk management will not work. I can open the tray manually but the optical drive will not read any cd/dvd. No error code in return.

    When that happens it cause peaks of high utilization of the processor (from 60 to 100%) in the System Idle Process. Just stop and restart it solve. After that, the laptop also runs fine and the optical drive.

    I replaced Win7 32-bit with a 64-bit version and the problem persist.

    Help, please. Thank you.

    I have the same machine with Win7 32 bit and use several players. Everything works perfectly. On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what may be the problem. The configuration of your laptop is not known to us, and we don t know how you set up your operating system and additional applications are preinstalled.

    Maybe stupid advice now, but you must install recovery image original Vista that you got with the functionality of your laptop and test with the factory settings. If the same problem occurs we can chat about it.

    The DVD player may require cleaning with a cheap kit that you can buy at any place that sells computers.  I had good experience with my readers DVD LG, not to mention my LG TV that I love.  One thing you can do when you are trying to burn DVDs would be to reduce the burn speed.  I usually use the software Roxio or Nero to burn DVDs - they have always worked well for me.

    Relative to the backup, use one of these big drives for backup and you get a good 3rd party backup program like the free Easeus todo backup free of charge that you can download from

    http://www.todo-backup.com/products/home/free-backup-software.htm .  Better yet, you get an external hard drive.  You can buy these days 1.5 to ones for about $90.

    Good luck.

  • Satellite U300 will not start most of the time. Fires - OK. BIOS-OK. Rams -?

    Yesterday, I decided to set the default BIOS. After save and exit - screen, black-U300 does load, no TOSHIBA logo on the screen. Only the lights can work.

    I conclude that the BIOS has broken. Today, I tried it reflash with Phoenix Bios crisis recovery 1.0.0.4, but without success. FN + B does not. FN + F, Win + B, Win + F... Similarly.

    BUT! Because I did so many off - power on trials, he had moments that he actually loaded successfully. Let's say it starts at 1 100 times. Once I entered the BIOS and settled before logo (clear blue Satellite on the front) to be disabled. Now whenever I start the laptop, this logo is dark and this brings me to the conclusion that the BIOS is OK, the system reads its settings and logo off.

    Now, it has similarly if remove RAM, or use. Works the same with RAM and without. But sometimes it starts successfully (with RAM, of course).

    When I turn it on, the fan may spin for a while and turns off after one second. If the eave it this way, after a few minutes, it starts to turn again. If there is HARD drive inside - it's light for 3-4 seconds and that's it. If there is a DVD in there - it runs as usual.

    There is another problem with my laptop - sound does not work for months ago. In addition, there are such cases in the past, when my laptop stops responding for some time, but after minutes, everything was normal. This time... he refuses to answer for a long time and I don't know why.

    Do someone know what is happening with my U300?

    Great! Thanks for the comments dude!

  • Satellite Pro A300-15 t does not restart on the current after BIOS update

    Hello

    There is something wrong with my Satellite Pro A300-15 t. I made an update of the BIOS of toshiba recently with the latest Web site and it installed successfully. But after the installation, I noticed that my laptop does not restart when it is connected to the power adapter. It restarts and works perfectly when its power on the battery.

    After restart or start-up the laptop (on battery), it will be well when the adapter is connected.

    But, when I reboot when the adapter is connected, after his stop, just power light turns on for a second or two and gets off automatically. And not even the laptop starts manually by pressing the power button (LCD is turned off when the power light comes on for 2 seconds) when the adapter remains connected.

    So what I do is to pull the plug on the adapter, then start the computer manually by pressing the power button and reconnect the plug of the adapter to the laptop starts. It works well this way. Rest everything works perfectly.

    And this problem started after the update of the BIOS. Now, I don't know how to remedy the situation I don't know if there was a bug in the last update of the bios.

    Details of the update from: http://gulf.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_bios.jsp?service=AE

  • CC will not open - hangs at the splash screen

    Had a problem with my video card where he died so I went back to the use of the onboard video. First Pro CC will not open at all. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several times. All my other CC Adobe software works without problem and the integrated video card has the last update directly from the manufacturer's Web site. When I try to open Premiere Pro the splash screen appears, starts to load, then a Windows error box pops up saying that the program has unexpectedly, he's looking for a solution, says that there is not and the only option is to close.

    Thanks I actually just found the answer on my own - it worked for me: first cc pro trial hangs

  • BlackBerry smartphone WiFi does not work most of the time

    It's like a broken record, I know, but my WiFi does not (most of the time).  It used to work well, but over time he works less and less! I use v5.0.0.979 (bundle 1607, the 5.1.0.177 platform and a Bold 9700)  I get the Green checkmarks for connections and WiFi and a white WiFi icon options.  If I try to use the browser of BalckBerry he started working in WiFi and I can see the blue WiFi on my router shows the data flow and then everything stops in for WiFi is concerned and after a period of time, it either expires or most likely to connect to the 3G network.  I used to (a 3 or 4 months) work just fine, but now very poor.  I tried another router and has the same problem.  I found no solution in the forum that makes my 9700 working properly.  If I connect to the weather apps Bug or Thomson Reuters. WiFi works great, load fast and I can see the data on my router blink indicating data streams, but whenever I use the BlackBerry browser, it won't work!  Crazy!

    I found the same thing as automatic power switch at night is interfering with connections no matter what I did. So I stopped using it and it works fine now manually turn it off. Not much extra actually works!

  • Satellite PRO A200 power issue - will not start

    Toshiba Satellite PRO A200 (model PSAE4E-00U004EN)
    OS Vista Business (not that get us here!)

    OK, here's the problem: battery led (blue), AC disconnected. Turn on (absolutely no hard disk activity)

    See attached picture + 30 seconds of video...

    Image = http://i37.tinypic.com/2lv00ow.jpg
    7 MB video = http://tinypic.com/player.php?v=294ns6r&s=4

    Here's what I tried...

    Removing the battery
    Remove and put back in place the two sticks of RAM
    Withdrawal of one of the sticks of RAM, a start in (and vice versa)
    Withdrawal of the DVD player
    Hold the power button for 20 seconds to evacuate the residule power, then plug back
    Holding the Fn key and pressing the power button
    Holding the 0 key and pressing the power button
    Still nothing...

    I hope you guys can help out me? Tomorrow I'm going to disassemble the laptop, maybe there is a blocked fan and this is a heat issue? or otherwise perhaps the power button is somehow disconnected?

    I downloaded and printed the disassembly instructions
    (http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/toshiba-satellite-a205/laptop-disassembly-1.htm)

    Please help me!

    Hello

    Looks like a serious problem.
    But for the first time, try this:

    -Remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter
    -Wait about 20-30 min
    -Reconnect the two parts and try to turn on the laptop

    If it is not possible to power the laptop then the problem must be related to a serious hardware problem and only the ASP would be able to help you and to see what's exactly wrong with the machine.
