Satellite 5200 - screen freezes watching DVDs

• P750 satellite - black screen, freeze, blocking everything at stake

  Hi, I had my P750 not for long, and I have some problems with games.
  Most of the more recent games like NFS RUN, BF3 or FEAR 3, shows a black screen in game, freeze and then the accident I will play the game (2-10 minutes).

  Other games like BLACK OPS, ASSASSINS CREED REVELATIONS and SAINTS ROW THE THIRD, freeze and I have to press ctrl + alt + delete to continue the game again... im really disappointed with Toshiba, because although I was told that this laptop was appropriate for the game, instead I get crashes!

  I don't have it overclocked, the NVIDIA drivers are later (285.62) same as DirectX

  I've seen similar posts on this forum, but no serious solution. Help, please!

  Toshiba pilot European page you can find the NVIDIA driver v 267.44
  Have you tested this driver?

  I also found a few updated drivers on laptopvideo2go.com page but the use of these drivers is at your own risk and don't know if they work properly.

• the Windows media player 12 switches back on small screen while watching DVDs

  WMP 12 fine plays the DVD, but after 6 minutes it switches back on a small screen and I have to click the button again to view full screen.  This happens throughout the entire video and on any dvd movie that I play.  does anyone have a suggestion?  Thank you.

  I used to get this [as did many others on the forum], but this isn't a symptom of failure.  You just need to adjust some settings.

  1. open WMP

  2 press alt - t for the Menu bar, menu Tools then uncheck allow screensaver during playback & click OK.  [Note that, if sometimes you want it to work, then you have to modify manually every time, I fear].

  3 press alt + v to get the Menu bar, menu display.  Place your cursor above the video size, the last item in the list.  Click on the made video to player on resize to oppose a tick of this element.

  4 press alt + v to get the Menu bar, menu display.  Place your cursor above the video size, the last item in the list.  Click Mount video drive to oppose a tick of this element.

  Yes, I know that sounds illogical.

  That's all you need to do.

• Satellite M30 - screen freezes and then turns white

  Hello

  After research with M30-241 and finding nothing, I'm trying this way. My laptop is 2.5 years has been repaired once because of the white screen and now it is doing it again. When a game like snooker 2003 blocks the screen you can hear the sound goes and then the screen starts to become clear until it is completely white.

  I have to press the power bit and shut down the system, but it only happens in game. Word, excel, PowerPoint, films without problem.
  Thanks for your help

  Hi Anton,.

  This situation is usually caused by the chip chart/CPU, not too hot. I suggest that you try to clean the grille of your laptop and also ensure that there are no obstacles to the free movement of air through the radiator cooling.

  Kind regards

  Hello

  I assume that you have installed Win XP on this oldi.
  Win XP and other systems such as Win Vista or Win 7 use the Microsoft CD/DVD driver and a STRANGE special drivers is therefore not necessary.
  The ODD (optical disc) must be recognized by Win XP automatically without installation of any other drivers driver update is not necessary.

  I recommend the removal of the CD/DVD drive in Device Manager, and then remove the upper and lower registry filters.

  Hello

  In my opinion, your DVD player is faulty. The position of the laser for reading and writing is not the same. It will be interesting to find out, you can watch DVD movies and if all DVD media can be read correctly. Try to remove the drive from Device Manager. Let the operating system detects the drive again and test it.

  I put t think you can do something.

• Satellite M70 164 - screen freezes and goes black, overheating

  Hello world! :)

  Recently my Satellite m70-164 started to freeze after only a few minutes of work. The picture on the screen freezes, and a few seconds later, it becomes completely black.
  The computer doesn't even have time to warm up, and it's not stop... It's just the screen that freezes and becomes so black. I have to reset the computer by pressing the power button. (I write from another computer).

  I noticed that working time reduced whenever I have reset the computer and after some time it freezes even though I am in the BIOS settings, so I don't think it's an OS problem.
  Even if the computer does not have time to warm up, this suggests it might be a heat problem.
  So I tried pointing a fan this is low (a big, like the ones we use in the summer), and it works without problem!

  With the fan facing these, I reinstalled Windows - so no Virus.
  Laptop fan * not * continue to operate as it is overheating.
  The fan runs and it is not clogged as I've cleaned.

  So if anyone has the same problem, or ideas, please respond!
  (And sorry for my English)
  Thanks in advance! : D

  Hey Buddy,

  I agree with you. In this case, even in the BIOS, that it has nothing to do with Windows or a Virus. In this case, it seems to be a hardware malfunction

  But before contacting an authorized service provider to diagnose what part is the cause, clean your laptop using a jet of compressed air. This should be done from time to time (every 4 months) and, therefore, it of not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

  Check this box!

• Satellite L30: Watch DVD problem - slowly and the sound is distorted

  Hello!
  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L30-115. I use WinDVD preinstalled to watch DVD. everything was fine until yesterday. Since then, my DVD drive seems to have problems with playback of DVD movies (original).

  It's a little slower that should be, and the sound is a bit distorted. The same DVD my laptop no problems to play now, it seems impossible to play properly.

  I tried system recovery to date, everything was good, but that did not help.

  Everything's fine, when I play movies from my hard drive, but apparently my DVD Player cannot play fair.
  I tried various combinations (turn on/off digital playback in Device Manager), but nothing seems to work.

  No idea how to fix?

  First of all, give it a try with cleaning the lens of your DVD player. Several times a lens dirty or CD/DVD that makes impossible to correct read causing delays.
  Because the movies read from the HARD disk correctly, it does not seem to be a related problem of codec, but... you should still try to use other DVD player software to ensure that WinDVD is not the source.

  I suggest you also to keep longer, to install software of reduction of CD speed during normal use of all the days of the life of your drive. As you know, the disc spins a lot faster than actually required inside the car which complicates the procedure for reading (especially on the scratched CD) and consumes more energy, too.

  Reduce speed solves problems like the one you have several times. Here is a link to the Version of acoustic silencer of TOSHIBA 1.00.008 (from page of the pilot satellite L30), give it a try:

  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/sl30psl33/XP/acoustic-silencer/acsil-PSL33-XP-100008-en.zip
  (This software runs independent you have European/American version of laptop L30, even on a different model as Satellite Pro 6100 a.s.o..)

  Kind regards

• Satellite A105 - 1/3 of the screen freezes regularly

  I have a Satellite A105 and the lower part of the 1/3 of the screen freezes regularly, but the top 2/3 of the screen is perfectly fine.
  After pressing the lower part of the screen or the border around the bottom of the screen for a while, it will go back to normal.
  After the slightest movement, it will begin to go haywire again.
  I was wondering if anyone knew if there is a problem with the screen or would it be the inverter?

  The inverter provides simply for the backlight voltage, he can't knock out 1/3 of the image.

  The problem is more likely to be the Module LCD or LCD Cable screen.

• Satellite M70-169: screen freezes and meshes + mouse freezes

  Hello
  Hope you can help. So far, I'm impressed by my toshiba satellite m70-169.

  He has recently developed an intermittent fault: when the tilt of the screen the effect of light mesh on it and the screen freezes. The mouse also hangs at this point.

  If I tilt the screen one way or the other I can get it to work properly. A slighy inclination of the screen can cause the screen to freeze again. The problem is getting worse, however.

  The machine has never been dropped or struck, but was taken by one of the screen when it is open.

  I disassembled the strainer and push gently on various points and cables but nothing in this area suggests a loose connection or a weak point. So I believe the problem is in the essence. I tried to open this up but it fails because I didn't force anything.

  Question 1: any suggestions on the problem and possible solutions?
  Question 2: advice like how to open the main part, so I can check any loose cables, connectors or broken bones?
  Question 3: patterns for disassembly?

  Even once - I hope you can help - thanks in advance...

  John

  Hi John

  The above user is right. It s too risky to disassemble the laptop without having any experience with laptops.
  It is why I always recommend taking to a technician.

  But if you want, you can have a look here:
  http://www.irisvista.com/tech/laptops/ToshibaM55/laptop_LCD_screen_removal.htm

  It s a site on satellite M55 and withdrawal screen.
  But once again; You can do everything BUT only at your own risk! ;)

• Satellite L300D - can't watch movies using a Toshiba DVD player

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300D - 12L and the toshiba dvd player has stopped working.

  The laptop is always able to recognize the dvd as the 'AutoPlay' box appears when a DVD is inserted and says ' DVD RW drive (e :)) "at the top of the follow-up to the title of the film.
  I then click on 'play the DVD using a DVD TOSHIBE movie'... and nothing happens.

  I tried several different DVD, which I know work in other laptops or DVD players.
  I tried by following this link...

  http://www.TechSpot.com/VB/topic27616.html

  and deleted the lowerfilters and upperfilters but that cause problems and I had to perform a system restore.
  I'm running out of ideas and I would like to be able to watch DVD on my laptop again because I don't have a TV or a DVD player.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  It seems that the CD-DVD drive can read the disc, but it seems that the Toshiba DVD Player cannot play video files

  Then maybe you should try to play the DVD using other software like Windows Media Player or VLC player download VLC player this small software and install it
  Then try to play the movie

  I recommend also to install the tool called DVD Player Update Check Tool that you find on the European driver Toshiba page.

  With this tool, you can check your laptop, if your DVD player needs an upgrade and if so, it gives you the download link for version upgrade needed.

• Satellite U400-22n and Win7 - screen freezes after 5 min

  Hi, this is my first post

  I ve bought a new U400 with preinstalled Vista last week. 2 days ago I ve upgraded to windows 7 32 bit professional when I looked at install windows prompted me that it requires a full install, so I did install a normal full, windows 7 installed normally.

  Now my screen freezes after 5 min and windows go black s and restarts after 3-5 min, I ve downloaded all the drivers from the Toshiba site I ve used the auto detect and installed the drivers one by one and tested if restarting stop s, I reinstalled windows now 4 - 5 times returned my copy to the store and got a new copy of windows DVD , it s the same.

  A Please someone any advice for me. Like the store I ve this perch will not upgrade to windows 7 for me.

  Hi mate

  The U400-22n seems to belong to the series of PSU44E.
  There is a special BIOS for Win 7 32 bit 4.80 - WIN32.

  Please update it all first!

  In addition, the unit supports the Chipset Mobile Intel GL40 Express and graphics card.
  The latest graphics card driver can be downloaded from the Intel page

• Satellite 5200 - need master/slave patch for the new DVD player

  I need a patch for DVD to use in a Satellite 5200.

  My original DVD is broken, so I bought a Toshiba SD-C2512 DVD but it does not work inside the Satellite, but with adapter to my desktop PC.
  I patch the DVD in master.

  Where can I get the file and the prog for patch?

  Hello

  I think that these patches do you mean are not available and as far as I know if you can spend a notebook of the master to the slave, for example there is a jumper on the drive.

  However, to me it sounds like this drive is not compatible with this laptop. Not every disc is compatible with all laptop (g. pins assignment.) e  ;)

  You must buy a new one and check the user's manual. There you should find a list of compatible drives.

  Good bye
