• Satellite M40-112: writing of DVDs takes long

  Hello, my friends, I have a Satellite M40-112 who bought 4 months ago. Now I have problems with my DVD-Ram, the writing of 4xDVD-RW, or 4xDVD-R of a volume of 4.3 G takes normally more than forty-five minutes, sometimes an hour. The transfer of data on DVD - RW or DVD-R the same volume also takes similar time. During this time, the CPU rate amounts to 100% occupancy when write or read DVD-RW/r. I tried the same jobs on my friends series Satellite L20, the average CPU occupancy rate was normally only 10 to 20%. Some experts could give me your ideas or suggestions treasurous? Thanks in advance.

  Hi my friend

  Good bye

• Satellite A30 won't read dvd but will read a cd/cd rom

  I have problems with my satellite A30/dvd/cdrw drive (TEAC DW-224th-A), it will not read DVDs but will play CDs and cd rom drive will turn looking for the dvd but it won't find it and when I try to start the dvd menu from my computer it says the empty disks.

  I checked that the drive is enabled and it is said that the drive works properly. I also tried DVD originals and copies

  Hello

  Try to remove the drive from Device Manager.
  After phone restart the operating system should recognize the drive again.
  Maybe it helps.

• Re: Satellite A30 - problems with SP3

  I have a Satellite A30 921. After you download the Service Pack 3 Windows the power management tools cannot either Hibernate & sleep functions. Microsoft Help said I needed to update my BIOS. However, BIOS for this laptop is not available online-not that I can find!

  What should I do? Is there an another BIOS update to use instead or I just SP2?

  Hello Jodie

  I'm not 100%, but in my opinion, there is nothing to do. Satellite A30 is old enough laptop model and, as far as I know, there is no any kind of update for SP3.
  I have Satellite M70 and always use it with SP2 because a lot of people here have reported on the various problems after the installation of SP3 and I don't want to have an any of them on my laptop.

  In any case try to check the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page. don't forget to search the ARCHIVES.

• Possible motherboard on Satellite A30 problem

  Hello

  I have a satellite A30 laptop computer. Recently, he began to fade until it is still on.

  Whatever the dough / battery and AC or AC only whenever I turn on the laptop the front led light for one minute and then go off. If I keep the power button then the lights are light and flick off, once again but after release of the CD LED power button / Power LED flick on then tap off and the HARD disk activity light turns very weakly for a millisecond before the device shows no power.

  I tried the new memory in two slots
  new CPU using the new thermal grease
  Boot diskless HARD and CD

  I disassembled the unit and can see no obvious damage to components or to the motherboard. The welding of the motherboard looks also good.

  If I plug the power cable then the battery charge indicator is Amber for 2 sec and then green. As soon as you press the power button the foregoing occurs again.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think that your machine has a malfunction serious mainboard. Welds may be ok, but you have a microscope to check as a senior technician or engineer? The other point: it may be a faulty resistor or capacitor or something else, personally, I think it must be something like that from the points of error described on something of the power subsystem.
  You can also try another thing: If you have your removed keyboard could look under the motherboard, then you can try to unplug a cable which must be located on the lower part before the entrance of the handrest. It s not a thin rather a high flatcable which should be for the Panel in the front of your machine (which is for multimedia keys and so forth) and unplug it. Check what happens if nothing, then you def. malfunction mainboard, if the machine starts then the front pcb is defective and must be replaced.

  Unless you use a third-party DVD authoring program you can not burn a DVD of any kind using Windows XP burning capability.  It will be the author only CD.  By buying the new DVD player you should have received a disk with a certain type of DVD software of engraving.  Make sure that you use it to create your data DVD.

• satellite A30: problems after upgrade to XP Prof

  I have two problems with the A30...

  I bought with XP Home and then upgraded to XP Pro, 1 problem, when I tried to install SP2, the laptop went into a loop of reloading, and the only way to solve was to return back to its original state, so is there a problem with the A30, XP Pro and SP2, do I need a bios update?

  The second issue is with the VGA port, I can't use an external monitor or projector when you use the function/F5 keys use the A30 Inter (r) Extreme Graphics, I asked the store where it was purchased and they said to re - install the driver original from tools and cd drivers, this installation still fails or locks into place

  all ideas

  Hello

  After the upgrade XP Home to Prof. you need to install the drivers and tools in good order! Moreover, some features do not work properly! This order are located on the CD of tools in an html file.

  For the function FN and F5, you need the hotkey utility

  An update of the BIOS is also useful to do!
  After that the system could work.

• Strange CD and DVD writing on Satellite A30

  My Satellite A30 is out of warranty. When the location PCMCI cover broke, I had to completely dismantle the laptop to fix bent pins pcmcia. This was to remove the CD-RW/DVDR drive.

  Now I can't burn CDs. I can see DVDs that I bought but not those rental. When I insert a purchased DVD WinDVD4 will automatically launch. With a DVD rental is not, and if I start it manually, it does not recognize that there is a dvd in the drive.

  Does anyone have an idea what went wrong?

  Hello

  Eventually the rental of DVD media was designed for a different region and your Player supports the region code incorrectly.
  You know that every DVD Player supports the different region codes and you can change it 4 times. This option is necessary if you want to watch movies to DVD that is designed for the European, United States, Asia, market etc.

• New CD/DVD drive is not properly recognized on Satellite A30

  Hi all

  I just bought a new CD-RW/dvd-r for my Satellite A30 disk drive, and it does not recognize the new drive. It is certainly compatible (the player itself is the SD-R2412), but when I go to 'my computer' there is no cd drive it at all.

  I have the feeling that it could be something to do with the code of the device in Device Manager, but I don't know how to change, what is the new number, or even what to do.

  Can someone help me? -Is it something to do with the Device Manager, drivers or something else?

  Thank you, Jon

  Edit: I noticed there are a few other people with the same problem - but it is a different cause. For most people than what happens when the software is installed, and when they enter the Device Manager there is a yellow exclamation point.

  However - this is not the case for me. This is a new piece of hardware, and there is no yellow triangle in my device manager. I think it's the wrong device i.d. as I changed the drive itself - but do not know how to go for the implementation, so that the computer makes this new record

• Satellite P10-304: the problem writing and erasing CD - RW discs

  Some need help pls. I own a Toshiba satellite P10-304 with a combo player SD-R2412 installed. When I try to burn a new CD - RW, it does ok, but wouldn't allow no other written on the same CD in another session. The written CD - RW is then recognized as a CD-ROM. In addition, it is not possible to erase the cd - rw usinig this player. When I take the cd written for my laptop office of deletion, as it's done with success and my toshiba can then burn again. Any ideas on what to do?

  Additional information: laptop computer came bundled with "drag n dro cd" but I had to install Roxio and even tried the cd writing software provided with windows XP are done everything to nothing. I checked the 'advanced system info-error log' and the report there is 'the device, \Device\CdRom0, has a bad block'; I don't know what that means.

  Cheers.

  Hello

  In my opinion, it's probably caused by software. In my opinion, you should remove all burning software and verify all burning functions with windows option. After deleting some software, it can happen that, in the registry editor it is a lot of waste that will not be removed completely.

  In any case, delete all the burning software, and you can also try to remove the device from Device Manager DVD. Restart the laptop and DVD should be detected and installed correctly. Try using the option of engraving of Windows and if there is still problem writing once again please.

• Satellite A30 CDRW DVDRW (Mat * one) drive cannot recognize any dvd

  Hello!
  I am owner of a Satellite A30-303 with an optical drive MAST * A UJ811 (CD-RW-DVD-RW).
  Everything works perfectly until last week the player ceased to play any DVD. Appears in an error message saying that there is a problem with E/S. CDs are recognized without problems however.
  I tried to find any updated drivers for the DVD driver but I just could not.
  Please someone have an idea of what this might be and how to solve?
  Thank you!!

  Hello

  On this path it is always not simply to say what may be the problem. As written littco check if there is some virus or any kind of malware. It is also possible that there is a technical problem and the reader can not calibrate on the right track.

  I put really know what you mean with E/S, but you can try to remove the device from Device Manager, and then restart the device. The last thing you can try is to reinstall the unit using the recovery CD. On this way, the unit will be absolutely clean. If the problem persists, obviously there is a malfunction and the drive needs to be replaced.

  By the way; have the same opinion as littco.

  Good bye

• Compatible Dvd burner for Satellite A30 P4 2.8 ghz

  Can someone tell me if there is a compatible unit internal dvd burner for my Satellite A30-514 P4 2.8 GHz/WXP HE/512 MB / 30 GB/15TFT/DVD-CDRW. And where I can get a.

  Hi Michael,

  I've changed the original CDRW in my A30 - 141 (a TEAC DW224E) for a carpet * a UJ825S with no problems at all. I just need to exchange the plastic parts of the old drive.

  I don't think that the UJ825 is still available now, but future versions should do just fine.

  I burned a DVD on the carpet a lot * one without any problems, so I'm very happy with it.

  Try Googling for a suitable device, I found a range of price, when I searched for mine.

  Kind regards

• 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.

• With Satellite A30 power problems

  Hello

  Over the last four years, I have been using a Satellite A30 with XP Pro... had no problems whats so ever until that last months... I started to notice the battery life becomes lower before (prob because of the decrease in battery life) but also when he is on the grid it will charge the battery to 100% but instead of power are removed from the sector It starts to drain the battery even when the sector is connected.

  Another problem is that I have to keep or stop the laptop goes into hibernation mode so it can recognize it is powered from the battery to load... even in this case, it may take several attempts for the laptop to begin to charge the battery...

  These problems started start after warranty, and was released in additional insurance coverage

  Any information or help gladly appreciate it that I fight to get assignments done University

  Thank you

  Hi mate,

  had a similar problem with an other friend A30. After sending the machine to an ASP (certified partner), they told us that the internal charger was defective and they have offered to swap the motherboard.
  But given that the motherboard was really expensive for him he sold the machine on Ebay and bought and Satellite A200 which is a machine really well.

  I guess that the motherboard is gone...

  That's all

  See you soon
