Satellite L300: problems trying to get the CD player work

Currently, I have a Satellite L300 unit and have problems trying to get my CD drive work.

Recently, I deleted the cd player, completely by chance instead of a printer.
Now it won't reinstall and no update driver makes no difference.
Anyone have any ideas?

First of all, try to restore Windows back to a Restore Point prior to a date before the problem occurred. System Restore is in the start menu-> programs-> Accessories-> system tools

Then try to remove the CD/DVD filters in the registry, and then restart. Windows should find the CD Player automatically, unless the registry has been messed up.

When the associated CD/DVD (such as iTunes, Nero, virtual CD software), the software is installed, they install filters in the registry, which can cause compatibility problems.

(1) run Regedit (start-> Run-> Regedit)
2) navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
(3) in the right pane, delete the "UpperFilters" key and delete the key "LowerFilters".
(4) restart.

If your CD/DVD programs stop working, you will need to reinstall them (preferably with an updated version).

    Hello

    On WLAN, there is actually no philosophy, and few things are important:
    The wireless network card must be installed properly (properly listed in the Device Manager) and
    It must also be enabled. Initially with switch WLAN (WLAN light is on) and then activate it by using the FN + F8 key combination.

    After making this key WLAN card should see all available wireless networks. To connect to one of them is another theme.
    To be honest I didn't understand exactly what is happening. If I understand you right your laptop can see WLAN but after reboot all available wireless networks is not visible. Am I right about that?

    Have you tried rebooting your WLAN router and restart analysis the WLAN area?

  • Satellite L300/BCI: How to get the Microsoft Office 2007, Google earth, etc.

    Today, I bought one of these laptops Satellite L300/BCI
    When I turned it on it took about 5 minutes, make an installation after a while I accidentally pressed ESC while piking he then restarted the computer
    as soon as switched on, it worked but it was missing:

    -Microsoft Office 2007
    -google earth
    -Google Toolbar
    -Google Desktop
    -Google Picasa

    Is their anyway for me to get these programs back?

    Any help would be appreciated!

    Hi mate

    Just a question; are you sure that this application must be installed on your laptop computer at 100%?
    It's really hard to imagine that you have removed or deleted from the disk only by pressing the ESC key

    But if these applications have been pre-installed, so you should be able to get back the system restore to factory settings.
    I mean by installing the image of Toshiba.

    It seems that it is an Australian model of laptop. Is this good?

    Well, I'm not quite sure how it works on Australian laptops, but I think the procedure should be explained in the manual of user m! Check it!

    But in a few discussions such procedure has been explained and some have said that you must press the 0 key immediately after switching on laptop.

    However, manual control of the user, then you would be 100% sure how it works!

  • Satellite L300 - where can I get the recovery utility

    Hello

    I have the Satellite L300 laptop with the reinstalled Windows 7.
    A year ago, I installed an original Version of Windows Vista, but I created a Windows 7 recovery disk.
    I recorded all of the files on another partition recovery, but I need the recovery utility to create the installation disk.
    Where can I find this utility?

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    You can not download it.
    The Toshiba recovery disc creator is preinstalled and you should always create the recovery disk before you change the operating system or anything on the HARD drive.
    Save files to another partition recovery won't help you because the recovery disk creator Toshiba will not recognize it

    Now, you will need to order the recovery disk if you want to recover the computer laptop s factory settings.

  • Trying to get the Brazilian keyboard work with Windows 7

    I just got a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm trying to get a Brazilian keyboard to work with her.  My old computer has XP, and this same keyboard worked fine.  I created another one for when I was using this keyboard, and he'd let me use all the keys (I don't remember what was the keyboard layout I used).

    When I try and configure it with Windows 7, however, there is no keyboard layout that corresponds to my layout.  ABNT and ABNT2 options are similar, and both are missing two key.  My keyboard has the-to the left of the z and the / right of;  Is there an error with the way Windows 7 has implemented one of these keyboards?  Thank you.

    I just bought a windows 7, but before the case was made I said guys from dell, I needed a computer with Brazilian keyboard. also i paid 50.00 dollars more and they have installed the software to change the language of the computer to the Portuguese. Here's the deal, professional window 7 or windows Ultimate edition, you will have the layout and language... to make it work perfectly. Now if you want to get the layout of the keyboard and language on the regular windows 7 all you have to do is go to microsoft.com and download it. hope it will be useful. you will need to find a way to use the keyboard, codes may be an exercise. but in a day or two, you'll discover. Remember to make all updates as soon as you buy a computer. After you set your PC and all new updates start popping up, just download each important updates. all this information was passed to buy me no one selling Dell.

  • Satellite Pro P100 can not get the screen to work again

    If someone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful!

    I bought a monitor to use when I am in the office (it's a LG Flatron L225WT), installed the software that came with it and plugged. Nothing seemed to happen, then in Toshiba HWSetup, I changed my power on the screen 'LCD + Analog RGB'.

    To cut a long story short, the external screen works perfectly now, but I cannot access the internal screen, even after changing the power supply on the display to 'Automatic Selection '. The Fn + F5 key does not appear to have any effect at all.

    I must have inadvertently done something to mess up the computer. Can anyone suggest how I could reset it back?

    TIA to all who can help you!

    -Laurence

    I put t know what laptop you have and don t know what OS you are using, but it seems that you have managed to set the external monitor as the main screen.
    You should change in display properties (right click on desktop-> properties)

    Somewhere in the settings, you should try to score the internal display (1) and should mark use this device as the primary monitor

    You won't find any similar settings or this will not help then set the operating system to the point of time at the beginning. In this case all settings will be reset!

  • Satellite L300 - problem reading memory in the slot/Bank 2

    Hello.
    I have a Sattelite L300 with 2 * 1 GB memory which had strange problems of som.
    Among a large number of tests, I tested the memory inside.
    When there is a module of memory installed in slot/Bank 2 (the one closest to the bottom of the pc)
    I get an error. Bought a new module, but I still have an error, so the error must be with the Bank/slot.

    Tried cleaning the connectors of slot with a brush-glass, without a bit of luck.

    The pc works perfectly (but slow), with 1 GB installed in the slot/River.

    Can someone help me with this problem?

    Concerning
    Jens (Denmark)

    I agree with Akuma.
    If two modules don t work in the second slot but in the first place, then the second slot is defective and that means this motherboard must be replaced.

    TOSHIBA SATELLITE PRO A100

    Hello

    Your ad is not really useful.
    I mean that there is no detail about your problem
    You should first check if the laptop supports the wireless network card.
    This can be done in the Device Manager.

    Usually the WLan card must appear in Manager devices-> network adapters.
    If it s are not it is that the WLan card is not built in or the driver WLan is not installed. If the WLan driver is not installed then you should see yellow exclamation (or unknown device).

    But if the wireless network adapter is listed correctly then you should check if the WLan notebooks have been enabled. In order to activate the WLan you have to press FN + F8 and you put the switch on IT until the small LED flash.

    Finally, to configure the WiFi connection (right name WLan, encryption settings, etc...)

  • Satellite E100 - How can I get the keys to work?

    Help!

    I can't understand how to use key features. For example sometimes when I try to do a question mark, I get an A? (such as these).
    How to return to the Marka question? (see, there, he'll once again).

    Hello!

    It s also according to the keyboard language how to do a question mark but if you want to make one you have to press the SHIFT key, then you should be able to make a. On my keyboard, the question mark is on the same key as the key apostrophe.

    The FN keys you can use if hold down the FN key and press an appropriate key.

    A google search of the proposed problem that there is an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.

    Absolutely not. You're misinterpreting things. Activation does not happen when you simply run the installer, although later. This means that what he says - there is another 'install' pending / assets on your system, which means somewhere, there is a process (invisible) always blocking things. Whatever it is, since you have not provided any real technical info, we can not advise specifically. If you are using Windows, you can check your task manager and to terminate any process setup.exe and msiexec.exe more potentially will need to manually fix / remove some registry keys. What beyond this, you will be much more accurate.
