Satellite C660D - 181 Power Cord issues and can not read CD or DVD

I have a Toshiba Satellite C660D-181 and my power cord has had problems with the connection. I plugged it in and the light on the left indicating it is plugged in and charged off and my cell phone begins to lose his load.

I must escape around and try to get it just in the right position to show him it is plugged. I have it plugged into an extension of the Strip which is connected to the main outlet (and the only outlet) in the room.

I use it exclusively in the living room so I'm close to the telephone and TV, so move it to another room will not be the answer. I'm afraid that the repair costs would be too high and the purchase of a new laptop computer is out of the question for now.

Another question, I'll have, it's that I can't read a CD or a DVD. I have Windows Media Player and Apple Quick time Player. I chose to play the media instantly, but it still does not work. I installed cc registry cleaner to see if it was a registry problem, but no joy there. I have Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit.

The most important issue to address at the moment is the power supply cord. I appreciate your help. Please, profane as computer jargon escapes me.

What is this option? You want to fix it yourself?
Don t think that it s a real option since you would need good parts, hand tools, maintenance and find out how to fix it.

Since you and I don t know exactly the cost of repair, I would recommend first asking how this fix could be I mean, you can request a service in your country for a price and could decide if its worth for you

  • Re: Satellite P500 of USA - can not read the local DVD

    Hello

    Sorry to appear such a luddite acquired but this laptop great USA from eBay.
    User manual appears to indicate that the player is going to adapt to the locality of the drives I want to play.

    Not had any luck with playback at all to this day, the error message 'not compatible' etc., any guy of suggestions?

    See you soon,.
    Michael

    Hi mate

    I think that the portable player s (optical disc) DVD region is set in the United States and therefore you can not read the DVD released for the European market.

    To resolve this problem, you must change the option of DVD region 2 region.

    My computer-> drive CD / DVD-> properties-> Hardware tab-> choose the CD drive / DVD-> properties-> DVD region

    Notes; You can change this settings ONLY 4 times. After that the parameters is no longer editable.

  • scratch the numbers on the card and can not read what do I do?

    I've wiped off the map of the SPINDLE too hard and can't read the last few numbers do - what I do?

    I guess that's the PIN to upgrade at any time?

    My PIN code does not work, what should I do?

    If your PIN does not work, try the following:

    1. check that the PIN has been entered correctly. PIN code is not case sensitive and is alpha-numeric.

    2. make sure that the PIN has not already been used to obtain a product key. A PIN can be used only once to get a product key. If the PIN has been used, you can connect to your account with your Windows Live ID (if you have it when the PIN has been entered) to access your product key or you can check your email for the confirmation e-mail, that you have received when the PIN has been consumed to access your product key.

  • I have a computer running VISTA. The CD-ROM/DVD-rom does not work and can not read the CD of the program that I placed in it.

    It won't read a DVD.  It will not read ANY CD or DVD.  I tried 12 different CD/DVD.  This isn't an upgrade to Vista; the computer came "made for Vista" with Vista installed on it.  I had added Nero.  I removed Nero.  I did all the updates. I have not released the driver and reinstalled.  He claims to have the latest driver software, but it won't work.  The computer can see the CD/DVD, but he calls it a 'CDROM '.  It is not the case.  It is a DVD/Cd-RW with Labelflash.

    I did everything suggested that past discussions.  I ran FIXIT program that claims that the drive works properly.  It is not the case.

    I tried to get various programs to recognize.  They cannot see the installed media.

    I uninstalled iTunes.

    Please do not give me the answer of cut-and - paste stock; It does not work.

    Please tell me what to do to make Vista see the media inserted in the CD/DVD-RW drive.

    Thank you.

    ------------------------------------------------

    Then go to right click on UNINSTALL - - CD/DVD - Device Manager CHECK THE DRIVERS to REMOVE and
    continue.

    Reset.

    Occasionally, install an upgrade or a re - install will fix the problem and of course the drive or other hardware issues
    could be at stake.

    =====================================

    Here's the answer, just in case there is something you don't have, and I start up and down.

    Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double-click on the device - driver tab - click
    Update the drivers (this will probably do nothing) - then RIGHT click the drive - UNINSTALL - REBOOT
    This will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue below.

    Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a loose cable
    or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.

    Another possibility is that the cables are loose. Remove ALL power, then make sure that the cables in both

    Some DVD players do not use the Windows default drivers so check with the manufacturer of system and

    You can try an In-Place Upgrade (hopefully save programs and data) or a repair installation (if all goes well

  • Satellite Pro S300 - screen is blank and can not restart

    A week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 at night (as usual). It was fine tonight.

    The next day, I got a black screen and a flashing light orange on the left side. I tried to turn it off, don't restart, no dice. I tried removing the battery and restart under just current alternative, nothing, I tried the opposite. Nothing. I tried to let the battery and then recharge. No help. Very rarely when I plug it in again, I will get the green light for a few seconds, but then again the yellow flashing light. Nothing EVER on the screen.

    I've only had this laptop since MAY! What's wrong!!

    Have you installed extra RAM in the system?

    Try to remove one of the Modules or swap them around.

    Otherwise, it may be a motherboard problem. An FSL can repair it for you - free if its under warranty.

    Hello

    > I tried to install windows 7 seveeral times... (x 64 editions) without success, I managed to install an edition clean windows 64
    Where is the difference between Windows 7 64-bit and Windows 64 edition? In my opinion it of the same

    In any case, best recommendation of OS is version preinstalled Windows in my opinion, because he configured Toshiba s with all the drivers and tools you need. No additional installation is necessary and your laptop is ready for use.

    Generally for the FN keys you need Toshiba value added from Toshiba Web site package.

  • MENU BAR IS ALL BLACK AND CAN NOT READ THE OPTIONS?

    I loaded a new mozilla firefox after problems with the old, after that I loaded a new menu bar is all black and none of my old favourites are there? It of like the bottom of the screen is black and the options (file editing history bookmarks tools and support) are also black.

    Hello

    Thanks for the reply, Yes when I disable hardware acceleration, the problem goes away.

    If I think that I put the finger on the problem of new video drivers, probably the intel hd 3000 or ATI's new drivers.

    There is this problem when I have the BIOS for the graphics card the 'dynamic' value, same problem with the latest Kazaa Codecs Pack. with this on the dynamics, there is a strange green frame at the beginning of the .mkv (DXVA) movies, if I have the value fixed, it seems normal.

    and what about the FF issue, IE9 is also same behavior with black, in this case, black menus on the home page of search engines...

    Thanks anyway

  • Error code: C00D0FD6 and can not read music and games.

    Original title: music & games

    Hello Jeremy,.

    I posted this message because I have two problems, one of which is on WMP, I wanted to play a game and listen to the music, but I found that the drive was not working as usual so I left, go for him again once I found that he remained the same when I got to the dialog box that there is a problem check what he was He said I have met and the error message that is C00D0FD6, if you ask me to go toTools and click onPlugins I was Tools but could not find Plugins is an alternative to the difficulty of WMP, don't know if that makes a difference, but it's version is 11.

    Come to the 2nd problem, he is playing the music files, I looked for a particular mp3 file which comes one numbered (e.g. 07?.) WMA) WMA, convert MP3, it still does not play, would it be because it's a numbered file?

    Thank you

    Sincerely,

    Frampton rocks

    y at - it freeware, DRM to MP3 Converter I download/install?

    No, if a file is protected by DRM, so it is impossible to remove this protection (otherwise, the protection would be quite useless).

    Now on the extraction of CD, I had snatched a because its tone was a little too low, so I had to adjusted WMP eq, after burning the files that I went to read the drive CD, but to my surprise it not played - No Disc, try on MP, he did play - what's the big idea? !!

    WMP is probably set to burn data CDs containing MP3s, instead of CD audio real. Most CD players can only play the button burn to audio CDs. click right WMP above, make sure the Audio CD is checked and burn the CD again.

    Also, note that the settings of the equalizer in WMP have only effect during playback of songs. They do not change the audio data, so you won't hear any difference when you save the files again.

  • page rolls and can not read line.

    When the page rolls quickly while I'm online, is this a problem with my windows exployer 8, or my monitor?  Help

    Geolson,

    If you notice the strange video rolls when on the internet, it is very possible that this is caused by an older video driver. Since you have not provided information of system, I can't find these drivers for you. I highly recommend to visit the website of the manufacturer of your system to download and install the latest version of the driver.
