• Satellite A105-S4284: cracking audio and HiFi

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-s4284. When I play the audio files (wma, mp3, wav), the sound sometimes produced a noise of cracking (scraping) and its VERY VERY annoying, people who share this problem know how disturbing this is, especially when you pay 1,100 euros for a processor core duo with 1 GB ram notebook (what you thought it would be perfect for use).

  Is it a hardware problem or something wrong with the drivers? This also occurs with the os preinstalled windows xp media center edition, as well as with xp professional and windows vista.

  I took it for repair, but the guys just reinstalled dvds and returned it to me, as it was, I guess it was too hard for them to hear the noise.

  In any case, I am VERY disappointed and now I want to just fix this problem...
  Help, please!

  Your 105 satellite was designed for the American market and you must always install the software from the US site!
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_home.jsp

  Check if the update of the BIOS and the driver for sound card will help you.
  1. bios update then 2. audio driver update

  But before you start the update of the BIOS; be sure you use the good BIOS and the proper procedure.
  The incorrect BIOS may damage the motherboard!

• (Redirected) External HDD USB boot

  I own a Latitude D420 BIOS version A03, POST boot order USB, then internal HARD drive DVD drive. Currently I have windows 7 running on my drive HARD internal 80 GB and have tried for some time get my external WD Black to start walls so that he would welcome VirtualBox and GNS3 to help me with my studies. Other relevant specifications are: Core 2 Duo with 2 GB of free RAM (512 MB RAM system) then it would be a little tight for all virtualization but should work, please don't tell me to buy a new computer: P in any case which has little to do with my power similarly boot from external USB HARD disk. I set the BIOS to look at USB first, and it has GRUB on the external, I checked and repaired. When I use a flash drive to boot from, everything is okay, no problem, but when you try to start the tray spins hard drive it's a no go.

• Satellite L10-119: OKI 8w Lite printer connection problem

  I have the Toshiba Satellite L10-119 series. I use it with 8W OKI printer. The printer works on USB port. Every day, when I print a ~ 10 pages of the judgment of the printer and XP driver display statement "connection problem". Currently, OKI prints all pages. Only restart helps XP on.

  The operating system is Windows XP and printer has an OKI dedicated for XP drivers. Other USB devices are working properly. I reinstall the Intel chipset drivers, I checked the printer on the other ports.

  Please send a sollution mail: michaljaniszek (at) walla (dot) com

  Hello

  You suggested that all other USB devices work properly on this unit.
  In this case, I guess that it s not a Satellite L10 problem but the OKI printer problem.
  Unfortunately, Toshiba is not responsible for the 3rd party hardware or software.

  However, I studied a bit on the net and found a few questions about the OKI printer problems. There are different issues and all have suggested contacting the OKI support. Well, in my opinion you should also ask the support. There may be more recent driver. Check it out.

  Good luck

• Satellite A105-S4114 - black screen, maybe the heating problem?

  Hey all

  I'm new to the Board and I really hope that someone can help me with my computer problems.
  I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S4114. In the last week or so, it started to get a black screen. If I m in the middle of watching a video, the sound would just go to a repetitive tone (very annoying sound) and the screen freezes completely.

  He sometimes goes to a black screen. The screen is not black as if the CPU is off but it's dark and nothing is displayed. This occurs when the computer has been for a little. I have had it over 2 hours now, and if this problem persists, it will happen more frequently. I've updated all the software and windows xp. Some people tell me that my motherboard is dying and I can't do anything, but some people say maybe it's an overheating problem.

  The vent on the left hand does not always give off light, but the laptop gets hot enough. Is it possible that my fan is dying? In the case of this "black screen", the computer is not power down and for this reason, I ve people had told me that he is not an overheating problem.

  Any ideas?

  Help, please. I sprayed the CPU down to the dust, and it has gotten a little better. I hold hope that I don't need to buy a replacement right away. I've had this for about 3 years.

  Thank you, Danny.

  Hey mate,

  I think that for the moment no one can really say what the reason, but I also think it might be an overheating problem and you should start cleaning your laptop first. The point is that if the laptop is overheated (e. g. graphics card), you might get a black screen, freezes or your laptop stops immediately. So if please try to clean and follow these instructions: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD7A01ZZ000AR01.htm

  Of course it could also be a motherboard problem but the laptop cleaning is cheaper and quicker ;)

  If it doesn t work you can access a service provider authorized professional assistance.

• Photon: Dropped calls and network connectivity problems

  I bought my Photon August 18 and he was not long for me first to the problems with network connectivity.

  The phone displays signal on the phone, but when you try to call, send text messages or surf the web. Zilch.

  A soft reset works every time. I've had some experience with the issue of the "appeal of ghosts", but had no network connectivity so often that he was too much a problem. Restores the soft 3-4 per day.

  I took the phone to the Sprint store and they told me that my phone verified and were not hardware problems that may be found. I said at the time on the update of the software of MR5 and was anxious to see how the phone after the update.

  I received the update on Wednesday and the phone worked fine. No appeal of ghost, no network connectivity not problems, only dropped the call.

  Now, Friday morning, I lost network connectivity despite seeing the strength of the signal and had to perform a soft reset to regain connectivity. My wife and I bought this phone at the same time. She had many calls interrupted before the update and we both experienced after that update eventhough signal showing on the phone is at least two if not more bars.

  Is this a known issue? Is it going to be/CAN this be corrected by a software update? Is this phone a lemon and he'll remember?

  I LOVE this phone. I don't want to get rid of it, but...

  Seriously. It's a phone! Making calls should be the FIRST thing that is done right.

  Please, someone, Motorola, reassure me that this isn't a lemon and that network problems are going to be fixed. I CAN wait, but I don't want to get stuck with two phones for $200 that need to be pampered just to be usable.

  Thank you

  TC

  Yes, it turns out that be was a buggy phone. Two stores tested Sprint phone for reception of the signal and they said that it spent; but as said the technician in the second store, the tests they take place the phone in ideal conditions.

  The two stores I've visited, said they were ready to replace the phone, but my first visit came just before the MR5 update software while I was willing to wait to see if the update corrects the problem. It didn't, but the replacement of the second store phone works fine with upgrading to MR5 and really no problem.

  I'll go ahead and mark this question as a response, but if you experience the same problems of chance complete loss of all network connectivity (Sprint or otherwise), I recommend getting the phone replaced. It is a bad camera.

  Oh and the technician at the second store mentioned the network problems. It has been a problem for them, but the most telling proof of the issue of network is random dropped calls. So if from time to time, you lose a call under the conditions of good network signal, it's probably not your phone and Sprint. I have almost that many abandoned calls as of late, so it could have been the wrong phone I had that really amplified the problem... or... Sprint has got some of the bugs in our region.

  Thank you for looking in. I hope that your problems are as easy to solve as mine and I hope that you are still within your 30 days so that you get a new replacement.

  Best wishes

• Port USB and IPOD SPA40

  Hello

  My ipod does not work with the USB ports on my SPA40.
  The USB port works, it works with my IPOD shuffle and other devices usb card reader, flash memory cards. The IPOD works because it works via USB on my other laptop and work through my card in PCMICA firewire on the A40 and the laptop.

  I need advice about what to do next.
  Is there a simple way to check what motherboard is inside my laptop?

  Thank you
  Ian

  Hi lan

  I'm not sure you know what motherboard is inside your laptop. Y at - it the same problem if you use USB messages with other external devices?

  In my opinion, you should check on the Toshiba site if there is a new version of the BIOS available and maybe update the BIOS can be useful.

• Creating a recovery on an external HDD USB disk

  So I just bought my new HP pavilion dv6 laptop computer 6023tx and I need to create my partition HP recovery disc.

  If theres a whole article here showing how do using a usb flash drive or USB key, I was just wondering if its possible to do using an external usb HARD drive, I have not so why wouldn't... creating a new 16gigs of score big and everything which makes it?

  Article: http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c01890478

  It costs $30 for a 16gig USB that is the size recommended but its only $50 for a portable 2.5 inch 500gig HDD, I just can't justify the purchase of thumb drive at these prices.

  Many thanks for any help.

  Well done to the dvd, should be all good.

• Satellite Pro C665 and internet connection problems

  Hi, will try and give as much information as I can, so sorry for the long post.

  I bought this new laptop in August is so very old, I connect to the internet with modem USB 3 G telstra and a cycle of 3 weeks he began to abandon the connection within 30 seconds approximately.
  The blue LED on the identification of the USB modem still flash, it has a connection, but I would get the yellow explanation mark on the icon of internet connection in the task bar.

  Now, the only way to recover the connection must close the connection of Telstra, unplug it, plug it back in and reconnect, a few times I have to reboot and will have to go through this routine 5 - 6 times and sometimes up to 10 attempts before I get a stable connection.

  So first I thought it might be the USB modem, so I got a replacement of telstra, but made no difference, then I had a replacement sim card and still no luck.

  Then I did a new install of Windows 7 and installed all the current updates, still no go.

  I then bought a wireless router to eliminate the USB connection and still have the same question.

  Sometimes it can be very frustrating trying to get a solid connection, but once it gets a good connection, it will stay connected for hours without any problem

  I'm not an expert with computers, but can usually find a solution to problems of software, I have, but that left me speechless and I think I've covered most of the region to address this.

  Thanks for your time.

  Unfortunately I can't say anything on Telstra 3 G USB modem. Toshiba doesn't support third party hardware, software and does not offer any kind of support.

  I put t know where you got this USB modem but I m wondering you didn't visit their store and test in functionality it bring your laptop with you. The people who work there could make inspection on site.

  I also put t know why you have this problem at home. Your router is not known to us, but is there a difference when using WLAN secure or unlocked and without password?

• Satellite A300 and wireless connection problems

  Recently, I had to use my recovery disk and restored my laptop to factory settings. Almost everything is back is the way has been, except for a small problem.

  The WiFi does not work. It is on, but when I go to connect to the wireless family network, it tells me to insert a cable.

  My laptop is the Satellite A300 - model psagca.

  I install the drivers of Realtech and still not get the case.

  Thank you in advance.

  Your wireless network is not visible to your laptop satellite?

• Satellite L450D: Windows 7 and Netgear connection problems

  Hello

  Ive recently bought a Toshiba Satellite L450D but I can't connect to a netgear wireless account...
  It works fine on another laptop and my toshiba can connect to an account of different eircom without problem...

  What is the new Windows 7, which is not compatible with the server or do I have another problem!

  Thank you! :)

  Hello

  What you mean with Netgear wireless account exactly? Do you mean the router Netgear WLAN?

  Normally, you can connect to each WLAN router. It makes no difference which manufacturing, you have the router but factory settings are different, this means that some routers have DHCP and static IP addresses, for example. I think you should check the TCP/IP configuration and update the WLAN driver.

  Check for an update WLAN Portal: http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/

  Good luck! :)

• HP Officejet Pro 8500 more Coexistence of USB and WiFi connection

  My printer was working with a direct link to my computer. Since I wanted to print from other devices using Wifi. I activated the WiFi and computer printing stopped.

  These two connections can coexit?

  How can I fix this now?

  Hi there dbspecial, I hope you are well

  I saw your post about wanting to use a wireless and USB at the same time with your Officejet 8500 connection has more. Yes, you can have these two connections at the same time, you will just need to have both installed on your computer and select the correct driver when you print. However, you are not able to have an ethernet connection at the same time and wireless.

  If you don't have the wireless configuration or the installed USB Installer, run the installation or the HP print and Scan Doctor if you happen to be running Windows.

  Here is the link to the drivers: HP Officejet Pro 8500 has more e-All-in-One Printer - A910g drivers

  Have a nice day

• Satellite A105-4114 will not recognize the connection to the local network

  Whenever I plug my cable ethernet to ethernet port on my laptop, the ethernet port does not recognize my cable, even if the lights are flashing. I updated my LAN driver a week ago, and it has not really helped. My internet service is provided by my apartment complex at the school, but I don't think it has anything to do with it, because I had this problem last year living in dorms and at home. I have to restart my computer everytime for my computer to recognize the connection to the local network. Can someone help me please?

  Driver: Intel (r) PRO/1000 PL Network Connection

  Wireless connection works fune.

  Hello

  First of all, you should check your LAN cable.
  Sometimes the laptop may not be correctly connected to the LAN as a result of a defective cable.
  In addition, you should check if the network card is properly recognized in Device Manager. He should t be a yellow exclamation!
  In addition, you must check the settings for the TCP/IP protocol in the LAN card properties.
  TCP/IP must be set to automatic. I assume that you are connected to a server and the server supports supported a range of IP addresses and assigns it automatically.

  Last but not least check if you are using the latest version of the BIOS.

• Satellite Pro 6100: which drive and the connection is supported - master, slave and CSEL?

  Hello

  I want to install a Pioneer DVR - K14L DVD burner.
  After installation, the notebook show me a
  error during initialization.

  It is possible to use this type of DVD Slimline burner?
  What kind of modus is important (master, slave, or CSEL)?

  Thank you and

  Best regards
  oelauge

  Hello

  I guess you get an IDE # 1 error message. Am I wrong?
  The fact is that not all readers are compatible with laptops.
  I don't know what parameters should have the caught player supported. But I assume that it might be a CSEL.
  However, I found this DVD - RW drive that must be compatible; the reference is P000366780
  http://www.getpartsonline.com/p000366780.html

  But unfortunately, there is nothing on the assignment of pins and settings.
  If you want to be sure of devices supported on your laptop computer at 100% so you should ask the Toshiba service partner in your country for details
