• Satellite A30 554: start and stop the question automatically

  After about a year of use my computer laptop (Satellite A30 554) started having problems with the starter. Quite often when I turn it on cooler starts working and the LEDs are showing that the computer is on, but the screen remains black. Sometimes, I need to turn off the PC and on a couple of times so that he can start to begin. What is the reason for this and can it be resolved?

  Once I had a problem with this computer off by itself while working, which was not caused by a virus. Some people advised me to vacuum clean :) under cooler. I did and it helped.

  The problem was supposed to be linked to the dust on the heatsink, which does not allow that it works correctly. The current problem also connectable to the cooler, or is - it a motherboard problem?

  Hello

  Generally speaking, if it starts and does even not initializing the monitor, or starts and turns off immediately, it could be the motherboard. It helps to remove each device at a time and try to start the computer. Sometimes when the parts become defective they still affect the ability to start. If, after removing all devices, that the problem persists, then your motherboard is faulty and must be replaced. Hope that fix you the problem.

• Error "Cannot read disc" after nc4200 replacement hard drive

  Hi all

  I read through the postings but did not see an exact match for the issue I'm having.

  My 5 year old needed nc4200 finally a replacement hard drive.  I bought a new 120 GB ATA-6 WD Scorpio Blue 40 GB ATA-7 Toshiba plant.  I was able to clean up a few errors on the old disk and the Partition Magic 8.0 successfully used to copy all the data in a single primary partition on the new 120 GB drive using all available space.

  I started with success the drive on the Windows desktop using a separate post of full PC.  When I inserted the new, WD drive in my nc4200 however I got an error "cannot read disc" immediately after the MESSAGE.  The BIOS is a short wee on tests of diagnostic and other information on the hard drive, but I ran with success a test drive in the menu of the BIOS with the net results.

  I have advanced and updated the BIOS to version F.0F thinking there may be some 1024 cylinders deliver or other incompatibility big disk, but this new version also shows the error of reading.  At this point, I'm stumped.  Why this new boot in my desktop PC drive but fail in my nc4200?  What do I have to use some tools HP blessed to make this readable disk?

  Thanks in advance!

  Well, I guess you can call this one resolved.  I sent the WD Scorpio Blue 120 GB drive (model WD1200BEVE) and ordered a WD Scorpio Blue 80 GB (model WD800BEVE) instead.  I cloned my old Toshiba 50 GB 5400 RPM (model MK6026GAX) with Acronis True Image WD Edition.  I installed the new drive in my nc4200 and pulled upward on the first try!

  I'm still not sure why the 120 GB didn't work.  The only thing I noticed is that the done 120 GB one noise rattling and the 80 GB is not then maybe the drive was defective.  I'll never know however, if it was the drive or the size of the drive, that was the question, but I hope that this info will be useful to someone else looking to exchange a HD of aging in a nc4200.

• Satellite A30-404: DVD player does not read some DVD

  Hello

  I have a satellite A30-404, and recently, I installed a new firmware update for my TOSHIBA DVD - ROM SD-R6112. (page can be found [here | http://nl.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_driver_details.jsp?service=NL&selCategory = 2 & selFamily = 2 & selSeries = 153 & selProduct = 518 & langua ge = 33 & selOS = 10 & selType = all & yearupload = & monthupload = & dayupload = & useDate = null & mode = allMachines & search = & action = search & macId = & country = 28 & selectedLanguage = 33 & type = all & page = 1 & ID = 46804 & DISO =-1 & driverLanguage = 42])

  Since then, I can't play some DVD I write, for the most part, the 4 GB DVD +, for example, I can perfectly read a 1, 3 GB DVD with 3 multisessions.

  However, other computers can read the DVD I can't.

  Help would be appreciated.

  Maybe the new firmware does contain all of the information on the DVD.
  Do you know what firmware is or what information it contains?

  The firmware of the drive contains simple information about the support that can be used, what burning/reading speed is supported, which average manufacturer is compatible, etc.

  Maybe the new firmware contains other information such as and therefore CD/DVD cannot be played correctly.
  I think in this case, you need to test different CDs/DVDs and try to burn at a different rate.

• Re: Satellite A30 - battery starts to unload if the power is connected

  Hi all

  My Toshiba laptop Satellite A30-871 began to discharge the battery while the power is connected (the LED shows that AC is connected but laptop consumes the battery power instead of loading battery and the use of current alternative). When the laptop achieved 0% battery turns off. Remove the power plug and reconnect do not resolve the problem, while the computer is turned on, only computer shutdown will begin the battery takes over. Which means that I can use portable so that battery retains some powers. Sometimes, when the laptop is turned off and the battery is charging, battery charging LED starts to blink and I have to remove the power plug and plug back.

  I don "t think it's a bad power connector because the witness indicates the power is connected.

  I wonder if anyone has a solution for me.

  Kind regards
  Nova

  Hello

  Just a question; does the laptop functions and using only the AC adapter (without the battery)?

  If Yes, then I guess that the problem might be related to battery failure.
  Maybe a new battery could solve this problem, but as you know this is just a suggestion

     I L755 series PSK2YE for 40 days, and I have a problem with the part recovery disk creator. According to me, it lacks something I simply don't have the TRDCLcher.exe in the menu. I uninstalled probably by mistake or so.

     I still have the recovery disk on D: partition.

     Is there a possible way to get this file back then I do drive recovery?

     Kind regards

     Hello

     This means that you can start t the creator of disc recovery or what happened exactly?

     Recovery disc creator can t be reinstalled because it s only preinstalled on your laptop. I think that in this case, your only chance is to leave the drive recovery HARD option and reset Windows to the factory settings. With the box settings, you can use the recovery disk creator.

     Thank you

     Hello

     This is not good news.
     3 months ago my HARD drive was cut. It was an accident simply head.
     One day before it happened, I noticed his strange coming from a cell phone inside.
     But I don't know if it of a its HARD drive.
     So the next day I tried to start the notebook but the BIOS does not recognize the HARD drive.

     So I replaced a hard drive and everything was ok.
     So take care. Perhaps even you will arrive.

     I put t know if the 80 GB will work, but I remember that some A30 comes with a 40 GB HARD drive.
     THEN maybe you'll be able to use a 60 GB but I'm not sure about the 80 GB. You need to test, you know

     PS. the mobile phone should support the IDE (ATA-5) increased

  13. Satellite P10 - beginning of recovery with Windows 98 disc

      Having just bought a new PC to decided to clean the old a because it does not work well and often breaks down. I started to run the cd-rom recovery (startup pc, press and hold C, etc.) and the first screen showed a message on * from Windows 98 *! I quickly abandoned the process, and there is no change to my PC.
      As my old PC (Satellite P10) came with * Windows XP Home * I was surprised by the reference to Windows 98.

      Can someone explain what is happening? I'm afraid to continue with the restoration.

      Hi weematt_1,

      I m not 100%, of course, but as far as I know it of normal that you see from Windows 98 for a short period because the installer of recovery is BACK/WIN98 founded but that doesn t mean Windows 98 will be installed.

      If the recovery disk contains Windows XP will be installed, but Setup of recovery based image on the BACK and if Windows 98 starts.

      You should try it! I'm pretty sure because as far as I know the same thing happened to me on my older Toshiba laptop.
