  Hello
  my laptop is satellite A40-231, I have a problem for days.

  When I open any browser (I tried firefox, IE and chrome) I can't watch the video, everything is slowing down, I can't navigate between pages.

  I took a quick glance to the use of the cpu and it increase to 100%, it never decreases. When I close the browser, the CPU usage drops to 15%, which is normal. I thought it might be a virus that internet connection and make things slower. That's why I format my laptop. I deleted all of my hard drive and reformatted. I installed Windows again, but he has not changed. I even installed ubuntu (I thought maybe virus can not work under ubuntu), but it's the same thing. I turn on my laptop and I open a browser and the laptop slows. I have clean the cpu fan it has not helped.

  I tried to solve it for days I could not sleep properly, I'm about to cry :(

  Please help me please.

  Hello

  You have reinstalled Windows using the Toshiba Recovery disk? This drive will restore the settings from the factory with all the drivers and tools so everything should work fine after that.

  In addition this happens with LAN or WLAN connection? You should try it with the other connection.
  Also check your router and update the firmware. Try to disable the encryption, MAC address filtering, etc.

• Satellite A40-231 does not start after the incorrect firmware update

  Hello
  I have a toshiba satellite a40 - 231.it unbootable because I flashed it's drive(sdr-6112) dvd - rw with the wrong firmware and I also made a mistake in making a non bootable back active partition, try to Flash the correct firmware. So my question is: can I boot from the usb flash drive? I think it's the only option I have left, if not network startup.

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  As far as I know it of not possible to start other devices from the USB FDD / HDD / CD-ROM / LAN

  You can boot from network, but if you want to install the OS via the LAN you will need a RIS server. But it's not easy to do without any additional experience. So I think that this option isn't for you.

  It seems that the drive is dead or is malfunctioning and that is why the best idea is to replace the device's drive. I know, it's hard to hear that, but I don't see any other solution

• Satellite A40-231: cannot burn CDs or DVDs

  Hello

  I can play CDs without problem, but I can't write them and DVD. I tried with Windows XP default recorder (by Roxio as he said), Nero and Infra Recorder but still had the same problem. Combustion process begins and finishes without errors with all of this software, but when I check the contents of the CD later, I see that nothing is written there, the CD is just considered as empty, or sometimes seen with 0 MB of available space, 0 MB total space.

  I tried with the CD - r, CD - RW and the DVD but I got the same problem. I have 2 389 MB free in my disk space hard as he is seen by Nero for the ability of the temporary folder that it uses.

  My DVD-R /-RW is recognized by Windows XP without problem and also, I installed the latest firmware from the site Web of Toshiba.

  Here are my specifications:

  Toshiba Satellite A40-231
  Toshiba DVD - ROM SD-R6112 DVD-R /-RW DRIVE Firmware Version: 1333 (latest news on the site Web of Toshiba Driver)
  System dual boot: Windows XP SP2 and Linux Debian Sarge

  Hello

  In the manual of Toshiba, you compatible o is a list and supported the CDs and DVDs.
  You must use these mediums as they are tested and should work correctly.

  Another tip:
  Go to start > run > and start recording with a command regedit

• My photosmart lost SSID and disabled wireless without any known reason.

  My photosmart lost SSID and disabled wireless without any known reason. Diagnotics only clue is that the addresses IP, SSID, etc. are empty. However, it can detect the 802.11 network (ethernet address but no IP address) where it belongs.

• Satellite A200 hangs or restarts at any time

  Hello

  I am facing problem with my Toshiba Satellite A200 since last week. The problem, I noticed even is mentioned below in steps:

  1. start & freezes on the screen at any time or logon
  2 restart at any time without any notification as blue screen or any message dumping

  Explanation in detail:

  As I start my laptop it can freeze or restart at any moment after the Startup logo. This has happened several times, I noticed. If it freezes, after waiting for half an hour, if it does not, restart any movement of the mouse, no appeal of taskmgr, etc. it completely freezes. Then I made him stop forcing for example, by pressing the power button / stop for a long time.

  * Things to note here: this happens when the power adapter is connected *.

  Same thing repeated here with AC not plugged (on battery), the system works absolutely perfect until that hard battery backup with permitted load on the processor and any diet Plan. Tested also on AC only (battery does not exist) but same results, no resolution.

  As soon as AC is plugged the laptop is ready to freeze or reboot anytime * and the time varies between instant to max 45 minutes I noticed several times.

  Second thing to note is that if I boot in SafeMode it works absolutely fine with & without plugged AC.

  * Measures taken to resolve: *.

  * High temperature set: *.
  I also cleaned the heatsink fan heat + metal bands filter in front of the FAN to avoid high temperatures, but same results, no resolution.

  * OS Installation costs: *.
  I installed a clean copy of the OS, but no effect not found, same results, no resolution

  * AC adapter power supply check & replacement: *.
  I checked the output of the AC adapter / CC it 19.7V DC no load. I borrowed a new AC adapter with my cousin with the same model, but the same results, no resolution.

  * AC adapter Socket change: *.
  To avoid the bad food, but the same results, no resolution.

  * BIOS: *.
  Settings to change the frequency of the dynamics processor to still weak & 2nd Core Disabled, same results, no resolution.

  After searching a solution on various sites, I tried several ways but without success.

  Finally worked for me is to start in "SafeMode-> Device Manager-> disabled both processors ' & restarted in normal mode, everything works fine.

  * Question: *.
  1 but what is the real fault I want to know who?
  2. How safe to operate with disabled processors?
  3. What is the effect of it on the laptop?
  4. it's the real solution?

  Please give me the real solution.

  Thank you
  Hemant

  Hi mate

  The sounds of history for me really weird I mean disabling processors in Device Manager
  Is this laptop must not freeze and must restart not anytime if that's the case then something must be wrong with the software or hardware.
  Because you installed the OS and the problem is still available, I guess something must be wrong with the material; Perhaps the mother or the CPU itself

  It is difficult to say what could be wrong, but it seems like material is affected

• Satellite U920T - 10G - touch screen without any function

  Hello together,

  I have been using the nice nice feature now for a few weeks and start to have trouble with him.

  I have the problem that randomly touch screen without any function, I can touch the screen
  but I want to, but without any reaction.

  It starts just besides the requests or anything before, I just browsing in the web site and a second to another.

  If I restart the PC, everything works normally again, I still using the drivers that have been pre-installed and have no changes for the drivers so far.

  Any suggestions, what could cause this problem?

  Kind regards

  Hello

  In my opinion, a process that controls the touch screen hangs or does not answer more and as a result, you can not touch works.

  Recommend reinstalling the driver of Toshiba + Toshiba UE driver page system.
  If this is not enough to try the system recovery and test the device with factory settings.

• Satellite A210 - screen goes black without any reason!

  I got my satellite A210-171 for a few years and a few months ago, everything was OK.
  But our when I'm working or watching a web my screen goes black and nothing seems to work?
  The only way around this is to turn off the power switch on the laptop then restart it again.

  I then get a message saying roughly...
  Computer has not closed properly OR sound closed to protect all data, then a countdown begins to re open!

  It may be OK for a few hours or maybe a day there is no limit of time on it!
  If anyone can help I would be very grateful, but please don't use of computer jargon that I don't understand

  Thank you

  Hello

  It is really hard to tell what is causing this problem. It could be a hardware malfunction or a software problem.
  But as Auma says you should test the RAM with Memtest86. It's really very easy to use and can detect modules memory defective RAM check it!

  Another question is have you installed a different display driver or updated? I ask this question because the display drivers they are not causing Toshiba sometimes of questions.
  In any case, I would recommend updated display driver and check the site Web of Toshiba for a update.

  And before moving on to an authorized service provider reinstall you Windows using the Toshiba recovery disc. So you will get back factory settings and with these settings, your laptop should work fine.

  Good bye

• Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

  I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  @Magnus:
  Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
  In addition, this burning program did you use?
  I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
  What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

• Satellite A300 - 1FC - Vista recovery without any pre-installed software

  Hello

  I bought an A300 - 1FC to German string sotres Saturn.
  It's a computer laptop nice until now the only thing that bothers me is the bunch of preinstalled software that is of no use to me.

  Is it possible to recover the plain windows only and then install all the required drivers
  and service packs manually. Or at least in a way that leaves out all the unnecessary software?

  If not I'm quite willing to downgrade - I don't like vista particularly well anyway but handset
  with the annoyment of the preinstalled software, it is certainly enough reason to get rid of him.

  Any help?

  See you soon

  Hello

  As you can see Toshiba, like all other manufacturers of portable, offers the recovery image. This recovery image contains all the necessary drivers, Toshiba has designed tools and utilities and also some additional software.

  You must understand that maybe 10% of people have knowledge of PC and they are able to configure the laptop only. I am glad that you are one of them, but you must know that this recovery image is designed for the installation of operating system simple and not complicated. There is no possibility to install clean Vista using this recovery media.

  Another way person doesn't force you to use each of them. All the unnecessary stuff, you can remove the system. Believe me I do the same thing. Your needs, you can optimize the operating system.

  Bye and good luck!

• Satellite A40-231 DVD - RW issue

  What can I do to change my model SD-R6112 DVD - RW with a better? (I know that there are 2 other models better than mine). My laptop has 16 months guarantee. I'm from Romania and the dealer told me I can't do this. I have problems with this DVD: it cannot read DVD written by itself. Another important thing is that I can't write CD - RW high speed.

  I am willing to pay the difference for an upgrade. If this is not possible please let me know if, in the case that I'll buy a better DVD, will it affect my warranty.

  Please help me.

  Thank you.

  Your dealer is on the right track. It is not possible for you to change the player yourself!

  The only chance you have is to find a dealer who changes the drive against another.

  But beware, I'm not absolute, but I think that you'll lose the guarantee of the machine!
