Replacement of satellite 1900-305 CD R/W

I want to replace the burner Toshiba SD - R2212 CD with DVD burner (I thought the NEC 6650a). A hunt on the web indicates that this laptop is waiting the optical drive to be a master on the second IDE channel. Is this correct?

I also read (from a formal source of Toshiba) that all readers of Toshiba function as Cable Select by default, which seems incompatible with the first piece of information. Because I want to buy a player that works 'out of the box' can someone tell me how I can avoid the IDE #1 error I get if I don't buy a car with the good master/slave/cable select setting?

Hi heel

I have Satellite 1900-703. I have no information specific which drive will fit and work properly, but I just know that the 1950 series have DVD-R/RW drive. Maybe the same drive will work with the 1900 series.

I use DVD very often and the best solution for me was external drive connected via a firewire port. Data transfer speed is very good, and on this way, I can use the newest and fastest DVD burner (also double layer). Before you search long for a good solution, I can just recommend you to do the same thing.

On this path, there is no drive that can burn just some formats, but you can buy burner that supports all the formats available.

Good bye

  • Is Satellite 1900 305 supports internal microphone

    Apologize in advance for what I'm afraid is a stupid question, but need a final answer before I spend more time investigating the potentially futile.

    Satellite 1900-305 has a built in microphone?

    I'm trying to get my friend (whose book it is) upward and running with Skype. See "sound and Audio" capacity/parameters in the control gives the 'impression' Panel is a built-in microphone, I was not able to get Skype or Microsoft Sound Recorder works, so suspect it is not. If this is the case, any suggestions for a cheap microphone and where to get a greatly appreciated.

    Running XP Home Edition SP2 and just downloaded latest version of Skype.
    Not sure about the audio drivers.
    In my view, there are some drivers available here as of June 2008, which I think are more recent than those currently installed and will gladly download and try if it has an internal microphone and the answers are that is what I have to do.

  • Satellite 1900 305: screen is broken, freezing or white during use.

    Satellite 1900-305 I got now for almost four years has suddenly started having problems with the screen.
    Randomly the screen will freeze, or begin to break apart, what strange colors, or of the strips to the bottom of the screen, or fade slowly completely white. Sometimes when I restart, the screen is blank (no not even the Toshiba Logo) so I have to keep trying to restart as long as the screen starts to work again.
    I would say that this problem would happen in the first 10 minutes of starting up the machine. If it has not arrived within this period, it is fine for the rest of the day until the next time I turn it on.

    This means that the graphics card inside could start to fail?

    Hello

    Well, that's very strange question. Of course, in my opinion could be a malfunction of the graphics card, but also something wrong with the LCD display. But I can't give t you a good answer to this problem. In this case, the best way is to request the service of Toshiba for details.

  • Satellite 1900 305 battery, need the pinout numbers

    I wonder if anyone knows numbers pinout of the details of the connection of the battery from the battery used with the Satellite 1900 305

    Mine has not been used for a few months and the battery is completely flat and is not supported.

    I want to check battery volts and check that there volts at the terminals in the computer.

    Martin

    Hello

    Unfortunately, there isn't any info on battery pin out. These documents are available only for the Toshiba ASP.

    But the battery charging is controlled by a microprocessor to power supply which is mounted on the system board. Power of orders by microprocessor if the accusation is enabled or disabled and detects a full charge when the power adapter and the battery are connected to the computer. The system charges the battery in charging or trickle charge.
    Normal load (power) 8 hours or more
    Fast (power off) charge about 4 hours

    Fast battery charge:
    When the adapter is attached, there are two types of fast charging: charging when the system's power off and normal load when the system is turned on.

    However, if the following occurs, the battery charging process stops.

    1. the battery is fully charged.
    2. the power adaptor or the battery is removed.
    3. the output or battery voltage is abnormal.
    4. the temperature of the battery is abnormal.
    5. battery SMBus communication fails.
    6. the battery cell is bad.

    In your case, it is possible to s that the batteries are dead, and you need a new battery.

    So I want to replace it with a new one, but I don't know where the hard drive.
    Anyone know where it is and if it's easy to remove?

    Thanks ^_^

    Hello
    It is very easy to swap the HDD on Satellite 1900. At the bottom you will see the HDD cover (near battery) fixed with two screws. Remove them and the HARD drive can be removed. If I remember correctly, the HARD drive is on this cover but replacement is not complicated.

    What laptop series P you have exactly?

  • Upgrade memory satellite 1900-303.

    Hi, I just bought 1 GB of memory (2 modules of 512 MB) to upgrade my 1900-303. However, when I opened upward, first of all I don't see the memory modules and second memory does not. According to the manual, it will take 144 pin sodimm pc133 modules. That's what I bought.

    Anyone upgraded the memory on their 1900-303 and if yes what memory did you use?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    I m a bit confused about your manual!

    I ve contributed to my colleague that the upgrade of its Satellite 1900 305.

    This machine has PC2100 DDR - RAM and the laptop can handle the maximum of 768 MB memory!
    And there is only one expandable slot at the bottom of the machine.

    I Don t think the Satellite-303 and -305 are different in the memory usage. So you'd better try exchanging your memory modules first.

  • problem with cd/dvd on my Satellite 1900 303 drive

    Hello world
    In 2003, I bought a Satellite 1900-303. Recently, it's the cd/Dvd drive has stopped working properly. whenever I put a Cd in the driver, it assumes that the CD is an audio cd. If the CD is completely cd Audio or partially contained audio files that it opens the cd with no problems. But if the cd is a CD or software for data CD after having tried long time my system hangs. I change the properties of the Cd drive settings in the section of AutoPlay of music file to other options such as "mixed content". but after inserting the CD in the drivers it agains automatically replaces the file 'music '. I showed my book expert in computer system and ease, he tried to reinstall windows XP to fix the problem but it did not work. Since the driver did not work he used the external driver to install windows XP. but the problem has not been resolved.
    Is there someone who knows by chance that I have to do to get it back?
    Waiting for useful tips.
    Vahed

    Hello

    your friend installed the XP from a Cd MS or on the Toshiba Recovery CD?

    To my Toshiba laptop computer, AutoPlay section is also set music file and working properly!

    When this failure occurred for the first time? Did you use the recovery option of system SM at the beginning - accessories - prog. -Recovery system
    Perhaps the backsetting of your system to solve the problem!

    You can also check if a firmware update is available for your car! (If it's a Toshiba drive go to http://www.toshiba-europe.com/storage/index.asp?nav=HOM&page=HOM&frame=home

  • Satellite 1900-803: Hi-Speed USB 2.0 card does not work

    I have a portable satellite 1900-803. I recently bought and installed a Belkin Hi-Speed USB 2.0 Notebook Card, but it does not work. Manual of the card says that after the successful installation, I'd see a second 'USB bus controllers' heading which I did not. I even it was replaced by another one thinking that there could be some problems with the drivers, but it still does not work. whenever I plug in a device such as an mp3 player, a digital camera or a usb storage device, windows locks all of a sudden upward, won't move the cursor, the function ctrl-alt-del does not work and the worst of it, I can't turn off the machine!

    the map shows that it runs on any 32-bit location.

    I have the manual and the Device Manager to see if mine is a 32-bit, but I don't really know. This is probably the reason why it doesn't work? or is there another reason to make it work not? If this is the reason why, is there a way where I can upgrade my laptop's pc card slot to make it work?

    Help, please.

    I posted this question yesterday morning and did not get a single response. is it because it has to do with an older laptop? Please, someone, help...

    Hello

    Have you checked the Bios? I guess that the Bios Toshiba was preinstalled on your laptop. Am I wrong? There should be an option to change the PC Card controller mode.

    Here, you can change the mode of the automatic selection, CCIP compatible controller or card bus/16-bit.
    If the card supports 32-bit so you should use the 16-bit option.

    I think you should play a little with this option and possibly that the card will work.

  • Cannot find the memory of the satellite 1900 203

    My satellite 1900 203 has a memory problem and I want to replace it.
    The manual says there is no memory which is really internal and fixed to the motherboard. The memory would be on 2 slots extension, available for the upgrade to 1 GB.
    On the place indicated, I see a location for a memory, but it is empty. Place a module of memory here upgraded the size, but does not solve the problem.

    Can anyone tell me where I can find the internal memory, if it is fixed or not and give me the part number.

    Thank you!

    Hello
    the part number for your 1900-xxx:

    PA3127U - 1 M 25 PC2100 256 MB
    PA3164U - 1 M 51 PC2100 512 MB

    The internal memory module is placed in a standard memory slot under the keyboard. You must remove the little plastic cover where the Power On button. Then, you will see two screws that hold the keyboard. After removing, turn the keyboard on the palm rest. Then on the MOA, you will see a small sheet of aluminum foil.
