satellite a60-205: CD is stuck

Hello
Perhaps a rather embarrassing problem, but nevertheless...
My CD is stuck in my DVD Super Multi-station (toshiba satellite a60-205 (p4-3200)). It does not recognize and will not eject. I tried to restart, I tried the paperclip thing (but I'm not sure that this multi-user has a small hole to do this, because the "small hole" is here big enough).

Can someone help me? It is rather important, given that I need the CD in a presentation in a few days...
Thank you!!

Hi Marie-Lise,
Got this from another forum that I use and it might be interesting to try.

First of all, if you are running anything from the DVD/CD-RW you normally would not be able to open the drive until the end of the access to the disc, this would apply even to Windows Explorer or workstation when the content of the "D:" drive. Try selecting the "C:" drive and then click on the "D:" drive and select eject listed options.

Then, if the software fails to open the tray of the reader, is the button 'open' on the face of the player work?

If you really need to get the drawer open most of DVD and CD players have a manual release function that works even when the computer is turned off. All that is required is a paperclip, just insert into the small hole on the front of the CD tray and gently push.

  • Satellite A60 accidents

    Hello. I recently bought a Satellite A60-205. For some reason, the laptop crashes after a while. The screen is frozen and even my mouse cursor does not move.
    What is an overheating problem? I have a P4HT 3.2, but I don't use heavy programs. Just surf the internet.

    Hello
    I don't know the reason for your problem. But if a machine is normally it overheats stops to avoid damage. In some units A60 heat dissipation function does not work, if the bios version is less than 1.70, and this can damage the casing of the laptop. Then I suggest you to upgrade your bios to the latest version.

  • Satellite A60 summary failure and press a key to continue

    I have a problem with my satellite A60.
    I had the computer for about a year and a half and have never had any serious problems with it of any kind. However, last week the keyboard started to fail, first with only a few keys, then the full keyboard.

    It never bothered me much because I'm quite familiar with the Toshiba computers. So I connected an external keyboard, and I was back in business.

    I used it very well so far but I put the computer into hibernation last night and when I woke up this morning he said "resume failure and press a key to continue."
    I have keys and nothing happens, it just stay on this screen. I try to access BIOS by pressing ESC when I turn on the computer and the priority is set at STARTUP DO not RESUME, hover, it won't let me highlight to change anyway. The computer won't let me boot from the cd. Basically, it's just stuck on the screen and that's all.

    I wonder if there is another way to get around this or is my computer ended for good. I was running fedora linux at the time of the accident.

    Seems difficult but not insoluble it s...
    It resembles a hardware problem, but I won't for sure.

    This keyboardthing can be a defective keyboardcontroller, because your description of the error is describing a similar case that I got with my camera.
    I send the machine to my local servicepartner and they exchanged my motherboard and keyboard and after repair of the error, I had never bothered me again.

    Just a quick question: some fluids come from on your keyboard?

  • Satellite A60: Stop message blue screen

    First of all Hello to all,

    I ve just joined and hope that someone can help. I have a Satellite A60 which began to close and coming up with this message on a blue screen...

    A problem has been detected and Windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer. The problem seems to be caused by the following file: Ati2vag. The device driver got stuck in an infinite loop. This usually indicates problem with the driver itself or incorrect programming hardware device driver.
    Please check with your hardware device vendor updates the driver. Technical information: dump Stop: 0x000000ea (0xff332da8, 0xffbb59bo, 0xfaf9fcbc, 0x00000001) Ati2vag beginning of physical dump. END

    had this laptop for 10 months and it started recently and stops now 2 or 3 times a night, thank you in advance for any help.

    Hello

    I have the same opinion. Try to start the unit in safe mode and remove the display driver. Restart the device and install driver designed by Toshiba. If there is no success please write again.

  • Satellite A60 and energy saving issues

    Hello

    I am facing a problem that drives me crazy. After I formatted my laptop and install Windows XP, I'm never able to install Toshiba Power Saver or any kind of Toshiba Utilities. Setup turns on, but after that, it displays an error message (sometimes just sound no message) and it stops.

    To be more precise:

    I use a Satellite A60-302, with extra addition of 256 MB of RAM. I formatted the C: partition and installed Windows XP Professional (I tried 3 different versions: right XP, XP with integrated SP1, XP with SP2 integrated; just to be sure if the problem was caused by service packs). Then I inserted the CD provided, put in place the ATI card, etc. its pilots respecting order but when it comes to saving energy, the nightmare starts.

    I removed the RAM I added and tried the whole installation by the original Setup process, but no change... My hard drives are well checked for any kind of virus, and the installation process was done with the ethernet cable connected to offshore to prevent any possible intrusion.

    Funny, I remember setting up Win XP Pro on this machine before 3 months no problem at all. The only significant change since that day is the update of the BIOS from 1.60 to 1.80.

    Looks like a "common modules" error but it is not "common modules", on the CD or on the internet.

    Finally, I must say that I can't use my recovery CD because it's Windows XP Home Edition in Turkish, but I use Windows XP Professional English provided by my employer.

    Any help? I'll be delightened if someone could help me.

    Hi sunfury,.

    I imagine you're nettled. But there must be a solution to your problem.

    You are right. There is no common Modules for this machine. Usually the common Modules, all Toshiba tools depend on. It is the main module.

    In your case, it is very important to use a specific order of installation. Normally, you must use the order of Installation set by Toshiba. You can find it on
    http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/satellite/SA60/win-XP/install_xp_na_en.zip.

    But there is also another solution. I usually install on this path:
    -OS
    -chipset + display driver
    -audio driver
    -fix for... (all)
    -one other drivers (modem, LAN etc..)

    When you want to install the tools of Toshiba try in this order:
    -Power Sawer
    -Init GST
    -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility
    -TOSHIBA Hotkey Utility for display
    -Other utilities
    -TOSHIBA Console

    If you want to install SP2, maybe it will be better to do it later. It is also possible that some of the tools after installation of SP2 will not function properly.

    If you still have problems made me know.

  • My beginning of doen't Satellite x 205

    Hello.

    My Satellite X 205 SLI3 laptop (bought in the United States) won't start. I have a white screen computer Ant portable 1 long beep and 2 short beep sounds.

    What is the problem and the solution? Thank you for your help.

    Kind regards. OURSONNET.

    Hi OURSONNET,

    The beep code would mean that a hardware malfunction is detected, so part of material blocking the startup process.

    You have two memory modules? If so test it with one module only. You can test the two modules in each slot of memory to check which module of RAM and slot is defective or work.

    That s what you can do. Of course, it could be caused by motherboard, CPU or something, but then you need professional help of an authorized service I think

  • Satellite X 205 - cannot install audio drivers

    Hey!

    I have problems with installing the audio driver on my Satellite X 205 sli1. I tried to install the drivers from the realtek site, but they doesen't work. Then, I tried to install the patches 'kb835221' 'kb88811' and that the drivers but still nothing.

    I can't find the drivers on the toshiba Web site. In everest, I checked my audio device is - Realtek ALC268 @ Intel 82801HBM ICH8M - high definition Audio Controller PCI.

    Please help me!

    Hey Buddy,

    In my opinion the easiest way is installation of Service Pack 3 for Windows XP. It contains patches for cards high definition sound and the other important security fixes. You can download it from the Microsoft Web site.

    But SP3 or patches must be installed * first * and then the audio driver. Otherwise it will not work.

    So my recommendations, uninstalling the audio driver and clean your system using the freeware CCleaner tool. Restart your computer and make sure and install SP3 if it s does not. After that, install the latest driver from the Web to Realtek site.

    Check this box!

    Hi Graham

    The Satellite X 205 is great! I've read some reports on another computer magazine websites. According to these articles the 205 X / 200 X supports 2 graphics cards! It was specially designed for gamer!

    Return to question you. The satellite X 205 seems to be designed only for the American market, and I think that you can only buy it in the United States or of any online merchant to the United Kingdom.

    But not don t worry as far as I know the Satellite X 200 should be published and sent to European countries! It seems that Sam block supports the specifications of identical or very similar material as the X 205!

    But I didn t find any info on the first version

  • Satellite A60: Unable to connect to the internet via a modem - no dial-up

    In my Satellite A60, WinXP Home, when I try to connect to the Internet via the modem of Toshiba, I get error 6: handle not valid, and after a few attempts, I get error 50: all devices connected / request not supported.

    Device Manager / network / card Asynchronous RAS displays an error (black exclamation point on a yellow background).
    The driver is asyncmac.sys = MS Access Remote network serial driver.

    I have:
    -tried to uninstall the RAS asynchronous card, but no luck, didn't say it may be necessary to start
    -modem uninstalled / reinstalled
    -update of Windows XP through windows update
    -update of the bios / modem / network drivers from Toshiba

    No luck, the RAS asynchronous card error is still there.

    Any suggestion?
    Thank you
    Alessio - Italy

    I think that this problem is Windows XP and map Asynchronous RAS, not the modem.
    The modem correctly composed the number, negotiates the user and the password, and then I get error 6 and 50.
    On the internet I found this tip for uninstalling and reinstalling the RAS asynchronous card:
    http://forums.practicallynetworked.com/showthread.php?t=6781
    I followed the instructions and run RArepair.exe.
    It uninstalls and reinstalls the map Asynchronous RAS, but RAS is still in error (the yellow field in the Device Manager).

  • Canoe install audio driver on my old Satellite A60

    Hi all

    I have an old laptop Satellite A60, and he had a problem so I formatted and reinstall windows, but I didn't have the original CD of windows came with this laptop so I used another CD that was provided by toshiba (I have another mobile satellite (I don't remember the exact model)). Everything worked fine, most of the toshiba utilities was already installed, but the graphics and audio cards drivers, missing (normal). I went to the toshiba website and download the audio drivers, installed, and when I clicked to restart the computer, after 2-3 seconds, I get a blue screen of death with the error STOP: 0x000008E and a TVS.sys file

    So I opened the computer and the driver was still missing. A few times, the driver is there and windows will not open and I have to go into safe mode and uninstall the driver. It's really annoying. I have tried other older versions of realtek AC97 drivers but does not work either. I tried like versions of the original that I downloaded from the official website of toshiba and 3 drivers, nothing works... The graphics card has functioned well tho... but having no sound is annoying...

    Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem?

    Different models of laptops have different hardware platforms and each recovery image is created for some portable model. Maybe this other model has different chipset, GPU, WLAN card, sound card, and so on.
    So I m really not ask you got BSOD at the beginning. There must be a conflict (registry entries) driver.

    What you can try is to install again and remove almost all the drivers installed and try to install the right drivers for the Toshiba download page in the hope that everything will be OK.
    I m not 100% sure, but tvs.sys probably owned audio filter.

  • Satellite A60 - laptop battery not charge/work

    Hello

    My stop laptop when you use the battery power. It will not re-start until I plugged in to the power supply. Every time I disconnected power laptop would shutdown. laptop does not work on batteries, no lights are working.
    When it is plugged seeing orange lights. Battery remains 90% fresh even after hours on departure av! I suggest that I can't use the battery power and the battery won't charge.
    Only a new battery in a month and has worked well up until now.

    I tried toshiba control energy saver but made no difference.

    I can't say with certainty if this happens because of the battery or something. In my opinion, it can be either battery or electronic power supply.
    Satellite A60's old laptop and everything is possible.

    Pre-installed software doesn t have a any influence on this. Toshiba power saver is preinstalled to consumption, Manager, with other words to help reduce battery power consumption and longer battery.

  • Satellite A60 - 102 - what HARD drive is possible

    What capacity of hard drive used in this laptop

    Hello

    Satellite A60 is a little older series and I think that the laptop supports the IDE HDD controller
    Perhaps the HARD disk controller support for only 28 bit LBA, which means that only 128 GB would be recognized by the BIOS.

    I think a 120 GB HDD should work but I'm not sure if the biggest hard drives would be supported due to mentioned m 28-bit LBA

    Hi mamlouk.

    I think that there's no way when you are working with a Windows operating system. There is a standard keyboard driver that could not be changed!

    Under Linux, you can change the key assignment by software.

  • Mini-PCI I have a Satellite A60-302 - myth or reality?

    Hello!

    I have a Satellite A60-302 (PSA60E-00J030HU) and theoretically there is no MiniPCI slot in the computer (at least it does not mention the Hungarian manual), but the online manual (preinstalled on your laptop) refers to a cover on the bottom as "Cover WLAN", that material incidentally doesn't not part of this model. (And the part of the motherboard under this coverage is not something that resembles a slot MiniPCI, well that according to the English manual and specifications online to some Toshiba Page, I found in the Linux knowledge base, it must be part of this config.)
    Allright, there is no MiniPCI, I said, I should buy a PCMCIA CardBus WiFi adapter. I thought I'll check on the toshiba online store, to be sure, I'm buying quality products. But when I choose 'Specific product Options' and choose my config, the Bank's research concludes _only_ MiniPCI solutions for my laptop, which theoretically (and physically) does not support.
    Is it not a bit strange? :)

    Hello
    beginning of the "742" series machine was delivered with Wifi (Build-in).

    But even if a Mini PCI card would fit in your Machine, the problem is that you have no generation of antenna in.

    These are normally inside the display cover.

    So the best way is to buy a Wifi USB key. His fabulous work but not manufactured by Toshiba.

    Running perfectly with my A60-102...

    Hello

    Looking on the European driver Toshiba page?
    There is an AGP-ATI driver screen. You must download and install it.

    I assume that you have not used the Toshiba Recovery for the installation of the OS CD. Why?
    On this CD, all drivers are pre-installed and it s a better way to install the operating system.

    But if you want to manually install the OS you should do it in the right order.
    The Nice installation instruction is placed on the driver page.
