  Hi vinod,

  Yes you can. You have two options. First is to contact the Service for the new restore CD original partner. If you want to do this, you just go to a Service partner and to sign a solemn statement (this is a Microsoft limitation) and then you will get a new recovery CD.

  Second solution is to install the operating system of Microsoft Windows XP Home CD (full version) edition. After that, you can install all the drivers CD tools & utilities. If you have no CD T & U there is another possibility. Download them all http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com

• Satellite 1410-801: Drive is not read and write many CDs

  Problem with Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R2212 Drive on a Satellite S1410-801.
  Help, please!
  My drive doesn't read many CDs and I can't write any CD too?

  Hi Wade

  The fact is that readers cannot read all cd or dvd media.
  You should first check different media from different manufacturers.
  As far as I know, you should find a list with the media CD and DVD tested and supported in the user manual.
  I use the TDKs and I m very happy

  It is not recommended to connect any pin on the new drive code!
  I would like to invite your dealer where you bought the player and ask a new compatible.

• Satellite 1410-801: installation of a USB printer problem

  I am trying to install a new printer USB (dell 725) on my 1410-801. All the printer drivers are OK, but then, laptop and printer won't communicate with each other. Anyone know if the USB ports for this model to support this type of printer?

  Sorry I'm not a geek!

  Hi Buzz

  On this path, it is really not easy to give a precise answer. In my opinion you should try with the producer of the printer supports. They have more experience with the installation of own products.

• Satellite A100 (PSAA9A) and Vista DVD maker problem

  I just got windows ultimate on my laptop that I got about 2 and a half years and he says about this Windows Vista capable. So I have to drop out and everything but when I open something like Vista DVD maker, he says that my video card meets the minimum requirements.

  Check my driver and it says Standard VGA graphics card? Strange huh? So went on Notebook driver downloads > Satellite > A100 (PSAA9), but then he only gave me the opportunity to PSAA9E and I need A at the end.

  In any case I put t know whether or not that counts, but I downloaded the driver and check the update driver > Browse pilot, first of all it only let me not click Desktop and didn t let me inside the office even with submenu.

  So I just clicked next and guess what! After all that palaver he said the pilot has the last updated and doesn t need to be installed but it obviously hasn't t because it's model is something starting with 6 and the driver Vista I want download it something starting with 7, so I'm really stuck and really help.

  Thank you

  Hello

  At the bottom of the unit, you should find the name of detailed; something like Satellite A100 - xxx PSA.

  Could you please post this number and name?

  The A100 is certainly capable of Vista, but this does not mean that you can use all the features of Vista.
  My other laptop manufacturer is Vista capable, but for example the doesn t run Vista Aero due to the performance of the weak graphics card.

  Creating Windows DVD is available in Windows Vista Home Premium and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, but some features may require advanced or additional hardware.

  Check this box:
  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/products/windowsvista/features/details/dvdmaker.mspx

  In any case, the graphics driver on the right must be installed to ensure that such feature Vista can run correctly.

• Satellite P200-EE and HD - DVD

  I have connected my Satellite P200 to a HD in Toshiba TV. Although I can see the FBI warning, but when I should get the Start Menu on the screen, I get an error message telling me (don't remember the exact wording) that reading is not allowed and that I should leave the DVD playback program and change my display settings.

  I try only to play on television. Computer laptop LCD screen is turned off using the Fn + F5.

  I followed the instructions of the user manual, to use my laptop as a HD-DVD player. No idea what I could do wrong?

  Hello

  I had the same problem when I bought P200-1EE. All your drivers are up to date?

  I got a message when it is connected to the LCD TV "Playback has stopped because the display has changed" I updated drivers etc and it seems to be ok. Another thing make sure hibernation on your laptop is turned off, as well as mode 'sleep' as this can stop the HD playback after a while. Register for Toshiba tempo and it will automatically send you all the updates.

  Thank you

• Satellite P300D-10U and CD/DVD failure

  Model as in the subject, os - MS Vista Premium. After a few minutes (3-5 minutes) when the computer starts, CD/DVD drive is not displayed in the catalogue or System Device Manager. Discs can be read also. When the disk was in the drive, it cannot be opened - still want to read the disc but there is no result.
  Is - this means that the CD player is damaged? Maybe something else?

  Some advice if you can please...

  Hello

  sounds like a serious problem of material. I mean, if the reader wants to read and can't read then it's something with the integrated drive electronics.

  May I ask what burning or media players, applications you have installed? Did you have already made a full recovery system to exclude some software related issues? This would make sense because if some blocking software / interfering with the player, you can sort this issue with full recovery completely...

  How many time do you own this machine and when he started to malfunction?

• Satellite 1410 801 stops loading Windows - corrupt files

  For several months I have problems at the start of my laptop: it will restart several times, stop to perform the will of loading windows; Sometimes I get start of message (registry) files are corrupted etc. In most cases, it will start after several tests correctly. I already reinstalled (clean disk) made several memory and disc of the controls without any error message. What can be the reason for this problem?

  I intend to replace the memory card or HARD drive BUT if this should solve the problem. Can someone give some advice or tips?

  Hello

  On this path, it is not easy to give a correct diagnosis. If the problem persists after the installation of clean operating system, in my opinion, you should check HARD drive first (upgrades and hope that other hardware components are original without).

  Try to get another HARD drive, Exchange and install the OS by using recovery media. In my opinion, it should be the first step.

  I have a Satellite M30X with a combo DVD player.
  My drive I ve formatted, then I installed the readers on the recovery cd and one existing on the toshiba web site and the reader to continue to not be able to write on DVD´s.

  The installed drive is: mast * a DVD-ram UJ - 831 s.

  I used to be able to write all kinds of DVD.

  Do you have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Armando

  Hello

  > I then installed readers on the recovery cd and one existing on the toshiba web site
  Do you mean the DVD-RAM driver?

  As far as I know using DVD-RAM disks in the DVD MULTI drive, data can be written so that the function to write data on discs CD-R/RW standard Windows XP is enabled.

  Then please check if the check CD option activate called this roll
  CD / DVD-> properties-> recording tab
  is enabled or disabled

  By the way; After using the recovery CD, you don't need to install additional drivers. The restore CD contains all the necessary drivers including an important run Notepad correctly.

• Satellite 1410-604-BIOS update > update BIOS Incorrect in the web?

  Hi there again!

  Now with a new and strange issue.

  We all know that tell old... "If it does not break, don't fix it." And if you put in more computer terms, "especially if it's a BIOS.

  Yes, we all know that the BIOS is something quite dellitate to manage. For some reason, we normally feel as if we manage something like nitroglycerine, or radioactive products. And it's because we all know who is put at risk at the moment: our (or sometimes other) computer, the whole system could end up as dead as some pieces of metal, plastic and son.

  Well. I passed through all of this, more than 10 times in my life, and only once, it went wrong. But since this old motherboard was already dead, it was not important. But I've always been EXTREMELY care. Allways cross checked everything before you do anything, allways has a backup and a way to allways and restore that backup... I did COMPAQ systems, which have been prepared in this way. A BIOS update was about about a disc, turn on the PC with the disk in the floppy drive and wait. And if you don't like the results, you just click on 'back to a previus BIOS' and that was it... very nice. And easy.

  A few days ago a friend gave me a Toshiba Satellite 1410 604 to solve some problems that have been her crazy. After you remove a Norton Internet Security has expired, install avast and scan, I found more than a hundred of files infected with a variety of viruses, malware, trojans, and everything you could imagine. Avast all removed, but the rest of the operating system was so unstable that we decide to format it and install from scratch.

  I asked for the restore disks, which obviously it failed because they were lost in one of his trips. After that we had confirmation of Toshiba representatives there is no disk recovery available for this model, because it is too old, we decided to install from scratch like any other normal PC and resigned to losing some of the utilities accompanying that CD and are not available for download on the Web site.

  I downloaded all the software available for this model, including two updates to the BIOS. (In reality an update, but in two versions: Windows and traditional) and prepared a CD with all the drivers and programs as if it were a new system installation. And everything was fine, no problems at all. Until we arrived at the wireless LAN card, but that's another problem is already solved (the mini PCI card for the WLAN does not support the encriptación WEP or WAP, and it is not possible to connect to any LAN encripted wireless).

  At this point, and when I started setting up and activation of peripheral PCMCIA and USB devices (this computer only supports USB 1.1, 2.0 not) I discovered this text from Toshiba Web site:

  "This Bios update adds functionality to your system.
  (BIOS stands for Basic Input and Output System. This program is stored in a chip memory dead on the motherboard.
  When the computer comes on, the BIOS is launched to perform various functions to start.)

  For more detailed updated information, please refer to Information update BIOS Toshiba"

  Quite specific. Isn't?)

  According to the information in this Web site, the available BIOS fits the following models:

  "Satellite 2410 414, Satellite 1410, Satellite 1410 - 654S, Satellite 1410 814, Satellite 2410-303, Satellite 2410-304 s, Satellite 1410 354, 2410-601 Satellite, Satellite 1410-401, {color: #ff0000} * Satellite 1410 604 * {color}, Satellite 2410-404, Satellite 1410-301, Satellite 1410-304, Satellite 2410 S403, Satellite Pro 2100, Satellite 1410 S203, Satellite 2410-304, Satellite 1410 554, Satellite 1410 S102, Satellite 1410 - 354F, Satellite 2410 703, Satellite 1410-303, Satellite 2410 - S203, Satellite 1410-801, Satellite 2410 603, Satellite 1410-902. ', Satellite 1410-313, Satellite 1410-802, Satellite 1410 714, Satellite 2410-354, Satellite 2410 514, Satellite 1410-614, Satellite 1410 704, Satellite 2410 515, Satellite 2410-504, 2410-702 Satellite, Satellite 1410 S103.

  Yes... it's here!

  Now when you go into the "Toshiba BIOS update information", you get:

  "Ref. FAQ: TRO0000000b07.

  A BIOS update is a {color: #ff0000} * operation is relatively simple and can be done by computer more competent users * {color}. All BIOS updates can be obtained from "BIOS update" Section download click here...

  Note: the BIOS files are specific machine the correct BIOS for your machine should be used. »

  Please note that Toshiba does not disencourage BIOS manipulation, on the contrary: they even encourage people to do. It is not badly needed, but at the same time that they encourage people to 'play' with such a delicate question, at the end of this page, in small letters, they say:

  "Toshiba provides this information"as is"{color: #ff0000} * without warranty of any kind * {color}, explicit or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of quality market or adequacy has a specific use." Toshiba shall not be liable to the topicality, accuracy, completeness or quality of the information provided. {color: #ff0000} * Toshiba is not responsible for damage caused by the use of any information provided, including incomplete or incorrect information * {color}. »

  This should trigger yellow alarms in our minds.

  + "Human error is inherent in man, and it is not possible to eradicate. It will be displayed always, sooner or later"(Prof. James Reason). +

  And finally, I made the mistake. Although I have read this warning, I remembered all these successful BIOS update with COMPAQ and relied for Toshiba. This update was available there, and Toshiba told me that it was for this computer. Great!

  So finally, I disconnected all devices (USB), removed the PCMCIA (WLAN), plugged the battery charger to avoid any possible battery problem, restarted windows, and then Windows started the update (windows version, such as recommended by Toshiba). This drug looked very nice, nothing different from what I usually see on these old COMPAQs.

  As reported by the update program, the system would restart. And in fact he did.

  Windows normally closed (a little faster than normal, but without mistakes, and since there is no other programs that most - even the antivirus not working - no), the computer turned off, all lights (normal) offshore, and then again on...

  {color: #0000ff} * BEEEEEEEEEEEEP... BEEEP... ... BEEEEP * {color}

  OMG! I never movement something SO bad. 3-1-1!

  And now... What a 3-1-1 is here? Award BIOS would mean no card graphics or video deffective card, but it is not true, because it worked 20 seconds ago. There are BIOS.

  He never came again to life. He's still 3-1-1 beep.

  But now comes the investigation on the human factors involved in this accident.

  I found I committed the following errors:

  * (1) * rely in the constructor, even if they have WRITTEN their information may be incorrect or incomplete. (BAD if I was a detective QA & QC).

  * (2) * I cross checked deep enough (until it was already too late).

  * (3) * I haven't looked above for how to make a backup of the BIOS to restore must anything deceive you.

  * (4) * let Toshiba lead me to a path that I didn't walk, just because of their supply of 'increased functionality.

  * (5) * Beleave in Toshiba when they said "relatively simple operation and can be performed by the most competent computer users"... they never said it is infallible. "."

  Then I began the most interesting part of the investigation.

  {color: #0000ff} * "what went wrong?" * {color}

  Obviously, the update of the BIOS has not somewhere, somewhere. And I wanted to know what and where.

  First thing, I discovered that there is another Toshiba search engine called "askiris" ([http://askiris.toshiba.com]) and I looked to see if, for any chance I could get the old BIOS 1.20 version which was installed at the origin of this machine.

  And I found something... VERY interesting:

  GOOD! Or not?

  Let's take a look:

  First thing I did was download all four files.

  Then I took the same version that made the accident: 1.40

  I unzipped the file, which I found:

  And I got my first surprise here: there is a {color: #ff0000} * README. TXT * {color} that was not present in the file that I downloaded earlier from the repository of drivers.

  So I went the readme.txt and I found this:

  'README. CDC TXT 31/01/2003

  Please note that the model 1410-604 is * NOT * listed.

  I thought ' well, there must be another archive... ". »

  But then I realized a name that seems familiar, that is, in the directory where I unzipped this file 1.40, and the name is:

  {color: #0000ff} * 2410A9V140. EXE * {color}

  So I took the other file, the update of BIOS_Win, and I discovered that the name of the file is:

  * {color: #0000ff} 2410A9V140. EXE, {color} * (Ups!)

  So I once again, uncompressed to find:

  Then another issue raised in my mind: what happened to the other file 1.40? What did the other 2410A9V140. EXE are inside?

  And the readme file does not list the model 1410-604 in its readme file, so I can't explain it except as a Toshiba error. * {color: #ff0000} they put an incorrect BIOS on their website and has proposed updating and somehow lead to such mistakes. {color} *.

  (Except in the case that one of these models is a name that is different from the model 1410-604, and if that's the case... now I don't know why this BIOS do not work with this computer).

  The worst thing is that neither the other files (V1.10, 1.20 and 1.30) lists the 1410-604, apparently so no solution possible workaround for this problem. I need an original v1.20 to the CMOS, and Toshiba seems to have. They offered me to solve the problem, leaving the laptop to an ASP, and pay only € 95 for the work and about € 280 for a motherboard replacement, I will get it resolved. But they offer no guarantees of their possibilities because is a model "too old" and "abandoned" and "unsupported"...

  In other words, they said 'you don't have to bother with it, just go and buy a new' (something of quite out of my reach in this time of crisis): P

  Thanks for reading so far.

  Now, what I need is to get ideas on a work around for this, my ideas are:

  (1) the CMOS has some startup that works (it allows a roll-back if you have the appropriate file). So I need a good BIOS to burn in the CMOS memory, the SAME SAME model (a backup BIOS) but the backup should be sufficient for the burning program (CHGBIOSA.COM).

  (2) it is always possible that the BIOS might be OK, but the CMOS data has been corrupted somehow. If so, the CMOS of compensation could solve problem. But I wasn't able to find a clear cmos from the outside button, and after disasembling I took battery, with no good result. I try to leave the MOBO without battery for a period more long (I left it about 20 seconds) just in case where 20 seconds are not all capacitors for well pass zero values. I don't have a lot of hope in this point.

  (3) try to get a REAL good update from Toshiba. I contacted technical support several times, and I was able to verify that they are only - phone operators, with a script in front of them, and when the problem is going - out of reach, they fall in the same response: "you must go to an ASP. I still have a faint hope to find someone who really knows a little and could illuminate with a good BIOS in this disc.

  (4) as far as I could find, this BIOS is not any BIOS-manufacturer known. It seems that it has been developed by Toshiba (own brand), so the Phoenix crisis recovery disk won't be of any help here. As well as any other BIOS recovery tool not designed for Toshiba BIOS. But I'm open to all ideas, which could be put to the test more or less safely. (Remember that the 'BIOS-BOOT-PART' feature still works, I don't want to lose that possibility alone of redemption).

  Wwwaaaaoooowww... what a falks long post! Sorry about that!

  Forgive me, but I wanted to be really clear.

  Someone give some tips or advice will be greatly appreciated.

  Please don't say that I shouldn't be doing... I already know that. I already did some research and found my mistakes, not to repeat them. Now, I need to spend, to move and to try to solve this problem, or at least learn to solve similar things. As much as possible.

  Thank you once again, in advance, and sorry again.

  Hi Fenix,

  Wow... He tooked a lot of time to read your post...

  Maybe I can help you.

  The Bios in the website is the right one. If you have downloaded the right version of the Bios.

  Toshiba America, which has most of the time the Askiris you used isn't accurate models for Toshiba Europe.
  This should be the reason, why does not the readme file contain the European model.

  I'll try to do an update of the fresh Bios using the update of the traditional Bios.

  Copy the files on the disk, put it in the floppy drive, press and hold power on the notebook tab.
  After that the laptop is off, press on and hold the key on the left side of space power on the laptop new bar and wait until it turns off again.

  If your laptop does not power perhaps the most, the RAM is default?

  Therefore, if the use of the traditional Bios or change memory doesn't help, and your laptop is still dead you should go to a SPA, but it will cost money.

  I now have my fourth Toshiba laptop and I had never problems with the Bios updates.

  The 1410 is very old I think, so before you go to a SPA, I'd buy a new ;)

  Best regards

  Maurice

• Re: Satellite M70-148 - new compatible DVD player

  I have a Satellite M70-148 and the DVD writer is dead some time ago, I'm looking to replace it now but I'm stuck. After looking a bit on Amazon, I found these:
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ44C/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2
  http://www.Amazon.de/GP/product/B0052JJ2P8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_4?ie=UTF8&m=AX7W93QYFVSA2

  Is the 2 only I could find on Amazon, I asked the seller as well, but I prefer to know for sure, anyone know if either will fit in a M70 148? All this looks like but what about the connector etc...

  Thanks for any help!

  Hey,.

  What vendor you asked?
  If it were an authorized service provider, you can be sure that the readers, they mentioned will not work properly and I would like to buy only one disk recommended by a service provider authorized because different readers have different pinouts, etc. to 100%, so not all readers are compatible.

  I can t tell if Amazon readers are compatible or not, but if you ask an authorized service provider can give you an exact answer ;)

• Satellite 1410-303-the s key is blocked

  Hello, I have a * Toshiba Satellite 1410 303 * and the "s" key is annoying me a lot.

  It does not work either, it keeps on himself. I must + ESC + to stop it. Should I clean under the keyboard? And how there?

  Please answer 4!

  Hello!

  Try to turn off the laptop, press the s key and use the jet of compressed air to remove dirt or something else which is located under the key.

  I hope that it works and if not, I think that you need a new keyboard because it is not possible to Exchange simple keys on the keyboard. :(

  Good bye

• Satellite 1410-303: black vertical banner on the far right of the screen

  Hi all

  I had to format my Satellite 1410 303, and then I added also 256 MB of RAM so the total is now 512 MB. It works fine but the problem is that now I have a black vertical bar, which covers about one inch from the far right of the screen and when you move the mouse it the "offsets" to the right, but the black bar monitor remains in place. Very annoying.

  Also, since I formatted the laptop, I do not have the controls in Toshiba or utility, so I can't change the width of the screen, or perform any other work related operations.

  Your help is very appreciated.

  As a first step, it will be interesting to know something about the pre-installed OS and drivers. I assume that you used your own CD of facilities and the recovery media not original. Am I right about that?

  What drivers you have installed, in particular display driver?
