• Satellite A205 - screwdriver-DVD Player problems

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A205
  My operating system is: Windows Vista: Home Premium, 32-bit operating system

  I have a RUG * A DVD-RAM UJ-850 s ATA DEVICE

  I haven't installed any strange software or had any new hardware installed, but the DVD player decided one day that it wasn't going to work. The CD still works fine, but the DVD player gave me at the beginning of messages as:

  "An error has occurred in the audio output settings. Please check audio driver is set up correctly. "So I tried, update, then just uninstalled and reinstalled the audio driver. No luck.

  I tried all sorts of things from other forums, and after a few weeks of this issue, I am at a total loss. I can not even find the real driver for this DVD player, it may be available, but there are so many forums on problems with this unit, I can't sort what is relevant to me and what is not. I tried the update, removal and relocation of the family of chipsets, I tried to completely clean all the drivers and re - install... and now as I said I can't even return original driver.

  How do I fix this?

  I don't know which DVD player, you used but, in my opinion, now the situation is quite complicated. Who knows what you have installed successfully, and what happens now.

  I recommend you to follow:
  Back up all your important data
  Install the OS by using the recovery image (its windows should work fine)
  Check in Device Manager if all the hardware components are installed correctly
  Some audio CD and a function test
  Check the functionality of DVD player (I recommend you to use VLC media player)

  If the problem persists let us know.

• Satellite Pro 4600 - Boot CD problem

  Hi people,

  Remember that Satellite Pro I mentioned many months ago? The one with the flashing orange?
  Well, I changed the MoBo Ant that he finally turned on. But a problem arised... it does not read CD. Whenever I insert a system disk, it is said: "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready... "I have tried with the CD bootable certainly many, but nothing happens. I tried with another work MoBo but that's it. I've updated the BIOS, I have set up the boot sequence, nothing changes.
  Oh, yes the cd-rom unit works for sure.

  What should I do?
  Thank you
  David

  Set the default BIOS settings and try again.

• Satellite P20/P25: Boot process stops at an early stage

  Hi forum,

  with my satellite P20-304 (PSP20E - the European version of the P25) when (re-) start, at certain times, the satellite crashes and does not respond. This is the case at a very early stage of the start-up procedure where again there is nothing on the screen.

  When this happens, the screen remains black or sometimes gray, and I have to press the button of power for five seconds to force shutdown.

  Other than that, the Satellite works very well.

  All the patches and updates that I would like to know, as well as the last update of the BIOS (v1.30) have been applied.

  Already thanks for all advice to what could cause this problem.

  David.P

  Hi David

  It's not easy to say why it happens.
  I think that we can only speculate. So I found on the page of the Toshiba driver a new version of the BIOS. It s 2.10. But it seems that this BIOS is usable only on Satellite P20 units that contain "PSP20E" in the model number.

  If you could check your model number and your device contains the number of this piece, you could try updating the BIOS to 2.10. Before updating the PIF, you should check the upgrade procedure. You know, the bad BIOS and the wrong procedure can make some problems on the Board.

  I think you should also be sure that each driver is up-to-date.
  I put t know how you installed the operating system but eventually the corrupted files on the HARD disk might be responsible for the hanging.
  This could be the case if the laptop goes correctly the Toshiba start screen. Otherwise if the Toshiba start screen does not appear so especially a hardware malfunction is a reason for such problems.

• Satellite A205-S4777: are there problems of compatibility of the 320 HARD drive

  I am replacing my sata toshiba with a sata western digital with more memory than he.
  Can someone tell me if there are known compatibility problems.

  Toshiba 200 GB Sata Drive broke down and I am substituting a western digital 320 GB SATA

  I see that you have already improved HARD drive and 320 GB. So you could tell us if you've some HARD drive problems.
  BIOS recognizes the new HARD drive correctly?

  If you have already installed the new HARD drive and have been able to install the operating system, then I put t see serious reasons why new HARD drive shouldn't t work.

• Satellite L305-S5955 - gel of the boot process

  Toshiba Satellite L305-S5955
  Once it froze early in the boot process - until windows starts, indicating (to me) it must be material.

  Hi John,.

  You have already reinstalled Windows with Toshiba Recovery disk (factory settings)?

  If Yes, it could be a hardware problem, otherwise, it looks like a software problem or driver.

• Some problems with Satellite A205

  I bought a Satellite A205 at the end of March.
  It has been in the shop more than six weeks time I've owned it.

  The motherboard has been replaced twice, the LCD once and once the touchpad.
  Repairman told me that over $2000.00 were spent fixing the computer $900.00.

  Can someone tell me what is Toshiba lemon policy and when it was decided to not put more money into a warranty repair?

  Hello

  It's really sad story and I can really understand that you're frustrated.

  It seems like you're one of those who had some bad luck with the laptop. :(
  But I have a Sat A200 (it's similar to A205) and everything works fine. No problem until now... I'm lucky :D
  Anyway... the guarantee is valid and everything should be done for free... So relax and don't worry ;)

  To my knowledge, books are covered by the standard warranty for 12 months and if you sign up on the page of Toshiba notebook you will get an additional one year warranty. Of course, you can also buy warranty extensions but please do not ask me for more details... I think that everything can be found on the page of Toshiba...

• Dual Boot on Satellite A205-S6808

  I tried to dual boot on my Satellite A205-S6808. I installed W7, and I want to boot with XP Pro.l Lap Top does not accept them Pro.What of XP is possible?
  Thanks in advance.
  Lucanio Ramucci

  Hello

  What do you mean, the laptop does not accept the XP Pro? You can not install Windows xp or it is installed and you cannot start it upward?
  AFAIK, the best solution is to install Windows xp, then Windows (Vista). Otherwise, Windows Xp will delete the bootloader of Windows 7 and you will need to get it back

• Satellite A205-SP5820 - problem with microphones

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A205-SP5820, and it's been almost two months that my microphone stopped working (external & the built). Today, I installed three different drivers (the one downloaded from softonic, one page Web from Toshiba and the other from Realtek)
  They still do not work.

  What can I do?
  Thank you.

  That really strange, you have this problem with the internal and external microphone.
  The configuration of the laptop is not known to me, but if you have tried the mixture of different drivers I don't think it is unique to the pre-installed driver.

  I think that best option for you will be clean OS installation but using the Toshiba recovery image you have with your laptop. Toshiba recovery image contains fine work and drivers tested so if the problem will still be there, it can be hardware only question about.

  Clean OS installation option is right for you?

  Hello

  As I see that you posted several discussions on the same issues. I imagine that you are not happy because of all these issues.
  (1) what to write about BSOD? Nobody here can say with certainty why this happen. As you know, it may be because of some software pre-installed. Who knows what you have installed on your laptop? Accurate diagnosis is definitely not possible.
  (2) install all the missing drivers, Toshiba tools and utilities. Each of them should be available on the Toshiba U.S. support page.
  (3) in this regard, we can only speculate. The fact is that this model of laptop pre-installed with Windows XP Home edition and optimized operating system should work well and smoothly.
  (4) I don't know what answer you expect on this subject. Make sure that the network adapter is properly installed. All others you must clarify with network administrator in your company or your Internet service provider
  (5) no comments for this.

• Satellite P200 - 17 c - Vista won't start up - how replace/repair boot.ini

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba P200 - 17 c of the vista computer and it won't start, freezes on the splash screen. I have
  used iso image to boot from and ran repair disk, makes no difference.
  Machine will not get beyond microsoft loading page (with yellowish scroll bar).

  My question is: How can I replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.

  I have not (my fault) create a back up or restore disk.
  After booting the machine from cd, system repair running and try to run the system restore doesn't work...

  Can anyone advise on a way to replace/repair boot.ini or turn off the drivers?

  Try to avoid to pay another £30 pounds for a recovery disc that I already paid for the licensed software, don't know why.
  If you pay because you do not get a copy of Vista with machine...

  Anyway any help would be most appreciated.

  Hello

  > How to replace / repair the boot.ini file to get the machine to start or disable all applications / drivers for applications in order to get the machine to start.
  I doubt that this could be done under Vista cannot modify the boot.ini as on Win XP OS.
  To edit the boot.ini file you must use the BCDEDIT command.
  However, I put t think it would start the Vista correctly.

  In my opinion you have two options;
  You can use the safe mode and might attempt to start the Vista slim or you have to reinstall the entire operating system yet.
  But I doubt you'll be able to start in safe mode if the system repair and system restore didn't work too.

  So in my opinion the last real solution could be the new facility.

• Satellite A210 - 11K - serious starting problems

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A210 - 11K which has recently developed serious problems with start up. It makes a very loud beeps when I turn on the laptop.

  Sometimes, the automatic recovery feature manages to recover the boot process and I can use the laptop as usual. But, at other times, I get a message indicating that automatic recovery could not repair the beginning upward and then I have to turn off the power for a day or two and try again.

  The laptop also sometimes stops working after about half hour usage.
  Please can someone help?

  Hello

  To be honest, the issue described doesn't sound like a software / system related problem, but nevertheless I think that you should try the s for laptop system recovery using the Toshiba recovery disc (of course if it is available).

  In case you n t have this recovery media, I recommend you try the system reset using Microsoft own disc. essential drivers are available on the Toshiba driver page.

  If the system recovery would not work, a hardware problem (HARD drive?) may be the reason why the laptop can not boot the system properly. But it is just a presumption

  However, I think that's a good point to begin troubleshooting
