• Re: Satellite A105 - recovery DVDs cannot start

  Hello

  Satellite A105-S4064 my boss was a serious problem, the only solution was to do a restore of the operating system. I have inserted the first DVD and started the process. He then asked for the second disc, after some time, there was an error that it could not continue.

  After another chance, I got a new error when I start with disk 1, the error was "NTLDR is missing", then I tried with a different Windows XP CD which also impossible to format the HARD drive.

  The HARD drive would be defective beyond repairs? Please help me, summer work on during these last days. Thanks in advance

  I agree with you and think that this problem occurs due to faulty HARD drive. Try to get a new one and start installation of recovery.

  You have done the right thing and tried OS installation with facilities of Microsoft CD, but you can see that the problem persists. It must be because of faulty HARD drive. I really don't see any other explanation.

  Hello

  just a small suggestion:

  Clean your hard drive of unnecessary programs and uninstall everything that has to do with reading/Codecs and the like.
  Then, reinstall your DVD program and try again.

  If this didn t helped you can backup all your data, recover you the system with the restore CD but don t install any other 3rd party software but install "K-lite Codec Pack", then Windvd. After performing these steps, check if it work s.

  Work since some programs are should know disrupt a correct reading of certain media such as DVDs.

  Good luck and good weekend

• Satellite A105-S2031: DVD/CD play to slow as slow motion

  Hi, my A105 - S2031 a combo CD/DVD TS-L462C. If I play a CD or DVD, everything is too slow as a slow movement.

  Could someone help me how can I solve this? What is a mechanical error of the CD/DVD combo?

  Thank you for all the world contribute in advance, Michael

  Here on this forum is certainly not possible to give the exact diagnosis and if you want to have an exact answer, your laptop must be verified by the authorized service partner. Diagnostic tools using special they can say with certainty why this happens.

  We can only speculate here and for me it will be interesting to know what is with the HARD disk while playing CD or DVD activity. On HDD LED is permanent? What is with the activity of the CPU? Please check the CPU (%) usage when playing CD/DVD.

  I have Toshiba Satellite pro 6100 and the reader of CD/DVD SD-C2502 on winxp sp2.
  The drive did not read any CD/DVD at the outset.
  After a DVD lens cleaner, it plays DVDs, but the Player cannot read any CD incl. music CD

  The error is 'windows cannot read the disk. The disc is damaged or... ".

  I "took off the CD/DVD drive and reconnected" and the pilot also seems to be OK.

  Any suggestions or ideas?

  Hello

  This sound like a player cannot calibrate properly and that's why the drive cannot read the CD disks.
  Especially the replacement drive is necessary and inevitable. :(

• Satellite L455 - Burned DVD plays in slow motion in the dvd player

  Hello

  I have a Satellite L455.

  I got burned a DVD with Nero 7 premium, but when I play in the dvd player, it works idle all the time. Other movies are played normally (so the problem is not the dvd player phillips), this only happens with the ones I burned in my new Toshiba laptop.

  I have tried to burn all kinds of speed (x 8, 6 and 3), but the problem has not been resolved.

  Can someone tell what should I do?

  Thank you.

  Hello

  You tested this external DVD drive?
  I recommend to check the options of Nero again and maybe, you should also use an other DVDs from different manufacturers.

  My DVD player didn t play DVD's serious too, I changed the manufacturer of DVDs and then the DVD that can be read by a DVD player

• Satellite U300-13U - DVD playback is choppy

  Hello

  I have a U300 13U and since it is I was unable to watch DVD because reading is so jerky. I tried many different programs to DVD player and it makes no difference. I tried to install many video codecs, but the problem persists. The DVD player plays audio CDs fine so I don't think it's a problem with that. I thought that there would be other things are:

  -problems with the video/graphics card?
  -need a upgrade memory (although 2 GB should be more than enough for a DVD)?
  -problems with vista (and it's General drain on the CPU)?

  I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems and if someone thinks it is worth upgrading the RAM or install XP?

  All advice appreciated.

  Becky.

  Hello

  Have you tried the VLC media player for DVDs? A few days ago, I also noticed some problems with reading DVD on Windows media player, but with VLC media player, I've never had a problem.
  The player is a free and easy to use software. Use Google to find out.

  You use the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
  Have you installed all the service packs and updates?

• Re: Satellite A300-211 DVD playback issue

  Hello everyone, I have a strange problem with DVD-ROM. A few times, after I inserted a dvd into the status bar, the system crashes, but it's a freak accident. DVD ROM stopped turning (flashes) and the * HDD Led * is constant on and I can't access bar tasks or the Task Manager. However, I can navigate the menus etc via the start menu.

  For example, what happens on my Vista Ultimate DVD from the insertion in the Windows environment. If I want to boot from it, it works like a charm. The same thing happened with Crysis. I mention these two DVDs, because they are perfectly no scratches and their quality is proven for me. How can I check if the HARD drive or DVD are in good condition. I have my computer laptop 48 hours now and I want a full replacement if something is wrong!

  Thank you in advance!

  It's really hard to say what the reason for this. Sorry, but I don t know him.

  To determine if it s assign you a hardware or software should install the laptop using Toshiba recovery disc. It already contains all the drivers and tools for your laptop and so you can restore the factory settings.
  Have you tried that?

• Linux on Satellite A105-S4344

  Hello. I'm thinking laptop subj purchase. Is it possible to buy one without windows pre-installed, or at least to get a refund for the unused operating system? I'm going to use it with Linux.
  Thank you

  Hello

  so I Don t think you can buy a laptop without an operating system preinstalled, so I've ever seen a laptop to my work (doesn´t matter which manufacturer) without an operating system. They are all pre-install a WinXP/Vista, then you need to purchase this Toshiba with an operating system and reinstall your linux on this machine, after that you deleted your WinXP/Vista.

  Hope, I could you help with your question.
  Welcome them

• Re: Satellite A105-S2194 a audio driver missing or corrupt

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A105-S2194 that somehow lost its audio driver. He worked week last and then this week his party.

  I uninstalled and reinstalled as the help and support on the computer Center said to do, but to no avail.

  I have also re-uploaded the driver on the Toshiba site and he says always "No. Audio Driver" or pop up this error message "Windows cannot load the driver for this hardware device. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39) ».

  I have no idea why I can't get the sound to work.
  It says downloading, but when I go back it shows an error.

  Anyone with a few useful insite would be much appreciated.

  Thanks in advance :)

  Hello

  I don't have any idea of what windows operating system you have, but it is a series of Toshiba laptops, we and the necessary drivers are located on the Toshiba U.S. page.
  http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/support/JSP/home.jsp

  Here you can download the latest version of the driver.

  In addition, I recommend the deletion of the soundcard from the Device Manager and restart the laptop. If the audio driver has previously been installed correctly then the Windows operating system should recognize the sound card again and the sound should work.

  PS: If you are using Win XP then you need to install SP3 * _avant_ * you need to install the sound card driver

• Re: Satellite A105 stops after 60 seconds (NOT a heat problem)

  Satellite A105-s4344 stops after EXACTLY 60 seconds. The mobo was removed from bevels and all devices removed unnecessary (DVD, HDD, WiFI etc.). Swapped CPU and RAM with those well known. AC adapter / CC exchanged and battery by the well known. Does the same on the AC or DC inputs only.

  I have not yet flashed the BIOS (at 60 seconds, that would be silly). But, I'm looking to replace or flashing with an EEPROM burner. Currently has V 2.0

  I don't know what heat genration detection using this system, but it is a possible cause if it is one of the later generations (visit http://www.topbits.com/how-to-monitor-cpu-temperature.html if you don't know that I'm referring to).

  Before reballing North and South of the bridge and flashing, I thought that I would get feedback from you folks. Just to cover all bases ;)

  P.S. the first person to ask what OS I use will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my list of respect.

  > P.S. the first person to ask what OS I use will get an instant ticket to the bottom of my list of respect.
  :) :) :) Best thing I've seen in this forum.

  Back to your problem.
  I'm not a technician but this is just my opinion on all of this. The fact is that after your laptop on CPU switch in seconds only reaches very high temperatures. You can turn on your laptop and just enter the BIOS settings and the same should happen again.

  I can't say for sure if it's 100% thermal or not question but what else can be responsible for decommissioning? CPU will be warm in just a few seconds. Significant change structure with temperature change and I can only imagine a contact will be interrupted.

  On this forum, we have had many reports similar as when portable cold starts and works well, but after that little time is off without reason. Maybe I'm wrong, but to me it sounds like heat or deliver bad contacts. Let's see what other people have to say about it.

• Is Satellite A105 - compatible with Windows 7?

  Hi all

  I want to install Windows 7 on my Satellite A105-S4344. I run Windows 7 compatibility test and it said the laptop is compatible, but on the Toshiba site it says my laptop does not support Windows 7.

  Who to believe?

  Hi ACE1146,

  What Toshiba Web site you are looking for?

  I checked the US page where is your A105-S4344 and it seems to be compatible with Windows 7 because you can download Toshiba Software Installer for Windows 7. After performing a new installation, the Toshiba Software Installer will download and install all the software Toshiba provided.

  In addition, you can find a lot of interesting forms of support they are interesting for you:

• Error e/s on the insertion of a DVD video disc - Satellite A105-S4284

  My mother bought a Satellite A105-S4284 during a stay in the States. DVD - RAM UJ - 841S with her drive is set to 1 in the region for DVD playback, I want to get it on region 2. I told myself I have 4 changes left, but I am unable to change it. He asked a zone 2 DVD to be inserted and I have administrator privileges - the two conditions are met, but it refuses to work. I then tried to see if she could read the disc at all, however try to access it from the browser I get an IO error. I checked the disc with a variety of drives, CD-ROM, CD Audio, the Toshiba installation/config DVD etc. all read fine, but not DVD-video. I deleted the DVD RAM driver, sought of firmware updates (cannot find a suitable) and updates of pilot (impossible to find).

  I can't work on why he dislikes the video DVD (I tried a lot of discs), even tried with the Media Express Player playback. Because it reads all other formats of discs, it seems unlikely to be a hardware problem, so I think it's a problem with the firmware, but like I said I couldn't find one.

  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  Kind regards
  sab0tage

  BTW happy Christmas

  Hello

  Do you have the drive to region 2 now?
  This might be a reason for the exploration of DVD-related issues.
  It would be very interesting to know if it of possible to explore this DVD on the other computer.
  Additional I think lots of original DVDs is safe and supports some kind of encryption and, therefore, it s not able to open it with Solution Explorer.

  I put t know why you were not able to change the area by car, but perhaps this has something to do with the operating system installed.
  Have you tried to install a new OS from an original CD of Microsoft, and then change the region on the drive?

• Satellite A105-S2101 - can't watch DVDs with Express Media Player

  I have this laptop Satellite A105-S2101, and the LCD breathed on me in two years.

  Fortunately, I can still use the VGA and S-video output but it may as well be a desktop PC now. Anyway, I just wanted to add that because of this problem, no longer is I can watch DVDs with Express Media Player because it will not accept VGA or S-video as default is just my broken - up, good for nothing always blurry LCD anyway.
  It's only when I'm in Windows mode can I switch to an external monitor.

  The reason I'm writing is, if it is necessary to add anything to an EMP update - this is the time and it would be something to add. What the devil?

  Have you tried another player?
  I prefer the VLC media player. He plays the most video and audio files, it s freeware and easy to use. Check it!

  Have you changed something on your hardware or software configuration before this happened?
  Maybe it's time to reinstall the drive Media Express

• 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!
