• Re: Sound on Satellite A30-514 problems

  Hi all

  I recently bought a used Toshiba Satellite A30-514.
  I checked and got everything works except the sound and wireless WLAN. I learned that with the wireless, there is no card so that I hope that the problem has been resolved.

  Now to the sound issue.
  I checked all the way through the sound settings, try the things usual e.g uninstall Realtec AC97 audio and sourcing the driver on the Toshiba site and install again, although when 80% through it causes an error while it just goes right to 100%.
  In the Device Manager it happens now with the yellow exclamation point and the properties now show that this device cannot start (code 10) location: PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5.
  It comes up with no device in the sounds and audio devices.
  I tried upgrading the bios (already the most recent) and tried to uninstall and reinstall, but does not work on anything!

  Please someone help ive spend a whole day faced with my brain, but nothing helps, I hope that someone had the same problem and knows more to help, I will be much appreciated if you can help.
  Thanks in advance guys!

  I have a satellite A30-514. I clead the HARD drive, reinstall the software from the recovery CD I got with the PC.
  After that, I launched Windows updates and installed SP2.

  But now my USB only recognizes the mouse and nothing else, when I try to connect a device told me that there was an error on the data and the installation cannot last. I tried reinstalling the driver from chipset from the CD, but nothing happened.

• Satellite A30-514 looks very dead

  Satellite A30-514 friend is sitting right here in front of me:

  1. the switch does nothing; push or pressed.
  2. every six seconds a motor turns for a second
  3. in the six second gaps the disk and CD lights flashing briefly, and there is a slight click
  4. then the disk and CD lights flashing just until the engine is running
  5. the screen shows nothing
  6. I tried to get to the BIOS (ESC, F1, F2, Del, F12) - nothing.
  7. a bootable CD in the drive does nothing.

  Any thoughts?

  Thank you, Tom

  In my view, there is nothing that you can do it alone. The laptop must be verified with special diagnostics tools. Ask your friend did it last days with this laptop.

  Maybe update the BIOS?

• DVD player does not recognize some media on Satellite A30-514

  I own a laptop Satellite A30-514 with Microsoft xp OS. For some time, some DVD (no games) will not play of the drive. some other not. It is not a problem of region - they are all region 2. Windows does not read the disc when inserted and does not record a disc in the drive when I show 'my computer '. CD is the game normally. This could be a (internal) driver problem or my CD DVD combo is all just too old now?

  Thank you, Mary.

  Hello

  To give you a precise answer, it will be interesting to know what DVD is not readable. Meaning of the word "media" is in general and not helpful to understand the problem.

  Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model, and it is possible that the WEIRD feature is not good more. You can try to clean the lens.

• Satellite A30-514: BIOS is not recognizing the CD/DVD or HARD drive

  Hi I'm having a little trouble with my Toshiba Satellite A30 friends. The hard drive died recently, and the cd tray was damaged.
  I found an exact replacement unit and we have a new hard drive, but the Bios is not recognizing the hard drive or Cd/DVD unit.

  I installed Windows Me via my own laptop and boot from the hard drive of the computer's hard disk, but it still does not recognize the DVD even if Windows does, and it is fully operational.

  This prevents me to install windows XP, the operating system it is. If anyone can help, I'd be much obliged, too, I flashed the bios with V1.80.

  Hello

  It is the first time I heard about this issue. The Bios doesn't recognize the drive but Windows is possible use it t.
  Why suggest that peut t BIOS recognizes the drive? Is it not possible to boot from the drive?
  Check if the IDE controller is enabled and the Boot section. The CD/DVD drive should be selected and activated.

• Satellite A500-025 - optical drive runs very fast and makes the laptop

  Just bought PC toshiba A500-025.

  When I put in some disc in the optical drive, it runs very fast and makes the phone vibrates.

  I was told that there is a toshiba utility that detects an imbalance in the disc and slows down the speed of the drive, but I don't know where to find this software utility.

  Thank you.

  Hello

  I think you mean the acoustic silencer
  As I remember, such tool was available for some laptops with pre-installed Win XP or Vista.
  For example; the acoustic silencer was available for some of the Satellite A200 and you could download this on the European driver Toshiba page.

  To be honest, there s nothing unusual that the CD/DVD drive runs very fast for a few moments, this happens in my portable two different.
  The STRANGE turns very quickly for a few seconds after the CD has been inserted.
  This happens because as the research of windows OS for the content placed on the disc

  Hello

  your Satellite A30 - 151 built in a softwaremodem with an Askey chipset (Agere).

  I think the solution is to re-download the modem driver and test.

  Go to http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/

  and click on Download & Driver.

  After downloading, you will need to unzip the file and start the installation. Another way to install the driver is the .inf. file, go to the Control Panel, system, hardware and Device Manager. Then go into the question mark that is the modem, and tell the driver. Here you have to choose to do it manually and when the wizard you asks to search for the file, go to the folder driver and click the file inf. complete the wizard and the pilot should work

• Satellite A50-111 - HARD drive upgrade

  Hello!

  I need to upgrade hard drive of my laptop because it is very slow. However, I know it's a 60 GB to factory-installed 4200 RPM.
  I'm ready to be upgraded to a fast 7200 RPM, if possible, with a decent capacity, but I'm not sure of the supported hard drive type (IDE?, 2.5?) is a model of 5 years. In my view, there are incompatibilities with the laptops today, hard drive formats, so I really need help.
  Thank you very much for your help!

  These are the specs on the site
  http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/JSP/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=EU&com.broadvis ion.session.new = Yes & PRODUCT_ID = 97598

  Hey Buddy,

  In my opinion the HARD drive upgrade will not increase performance well then you should try the other options first as reinstalling Windows, or upgrade the RAM.

  Anyway, Satellite A50 use IDE interface, so you can use hard disks of 120 GB of disk space.
  Of course, you can take a model at 7200 RPM, but they need more energy and produce more noise.
  I recommend a 120 GB 5400 RPM model. That s pretty fast!

• Question on recovery of product for Satellite A30 - 514

  After the start of recovery of product using OS provided a disk displayed the Setup with error number 11122 stops with the message "cannot load the bitmap file. height max 100 ".

  Also asked why recovery at startup on screen message States, loading of Windows 98, then the home XP was preinstalled on the computer.
  Any ideas?

  Hello

  Do you use a recovery CD or original copy? Satellite A30 is a unit old enough and I wonder since when you noticed this problem?

  Recovery procedure is running in MS-DOS mode. Because of this, there are still listed W98. Thing absolutely unimportant.

• Optimal positioning of ports, sockets and on Satellite L855-14 optical drive

  I bought a * Toshiba L855-149 * a few weeks and I really like it.
  Is my Toshiba laptop, 4 to 14 years, and as usual, everything works perfectly. I like the way it starts in less than 10 seconds.

  On the 3 previous models, the optical drive has been on the right side and most of the catch and the ports were on the front and left sides. On L855 headphones, microphone and taken more Lan HDMI and 2 USB ports are on the right and if you are using a mouse, then, when you use connected devices or ethernet wires are creeping over the mouse.

  There must be an optimal position for all ports etc.; and it's not where they are located on the L855.
  Toshiba seems to re - position ports/jacks on all models without good reason.
  I'm fussy?

  I guess that if you use a WiFi only or you are left-handed, then none of this is a problem.
  I keep the laptop on a desk and never move it prefer to connect all devices.

  > On 3 previous models, the optical drive has been on the right side and most of the catch and the ports were on the front and left sides.

  My new Tecra has the STRANGE on the right.
  Two USB ports on the right and the left.
