Satellite L300D will not recognize USB drive, except if the WIFI is disabled

I have a venerable L300D Satellite under Vista SP2. I also have a Fujitsu 40 GB SATA HDD of my old laptop in a USB2.0 caddy, with double USB plugs to require more current.

I can sign in successfully caddy USB to my laptop Windows 7 via a simple USB port on a USB 2.0 so I know it works.

On the Satellite L300D, it implements the Generic USB drive in Device Manager, but does not record the 2 disk partitions in the storage of files in Windows Explorer. In fact when you try and expand the COMPUTER in the Explorer it times out.

I noticed that the WLAN (Realtek TL8187B) is on the same USB 2.0 controller, so I disabled it. It turned off my wireless, but immediately the Windows Explorer was shot in life and I could access partitions (D:, and G :) may even run the check disk (no failures) and Defrag. As soon as I turn ON the WLAN driver disc fails to register.

I've updated the Realtek drivers on the Toshiba web site but I want a solution that allows me to use the disc AND the WIFI network at the same time.

Someone at - it ideas?

Hello Colin

Have you started using your laptop with the original version of Vista that you got with your laptop?

I use Toshiba laptops for a long time now but I've never noticed this issue although I use external hard drives and USB keys quite often.
Since when did you notice this kind of behavior? To be honest, I can't imagine that this problem persists since the day where we as original recovery image is tested and something like that should not happen. Maybe some updates may be responsible for this.

Trying to remove driver WLAN, reinstall the chipset driver and reinstall WLAN driver. After doing this test he has once again please and send feedback.

  • Satellite L30 will not recognize battery

    Hi guys

    Having a problem with my battery.

    The battery itself is not so old and works in another machine. My current L30 for some reason any will not recognize the battery. When the captain came out of the computer does not use the battery. It sometimes happens with a bright orange at the front as if his load, but he never goes green.

    Other times where the battery icon is in the lower right corner, it has a cross through the battery icon as if it does not exist.
    All ideas

    Remove the battery and connect your laptop to the power running, start Windows and when the OS is fully charged, put the battery in the place again.

    The battery is correctly recognized?

  • MacBook Air will not recognize Micro SD disk in the format exFAT

    Hello

    I have a new camera of Campark Xtreme (like a Go Pro) who uses a Micro SD disk in ex FAT format. My 3 year old MacBook Air does not recognize the disc in this format. But to reformat, I need to erase all the content on the disc. When I put the disc in the camera, the camera will not work unless I have reformat the drive for exFAT.

    My computer is 10.10.5. So my husband. We have the same problem on two laptops.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    The Mac can read and write to exFat without problem. The problem is probably that the card is too recent for the readers into your computers.

    Fortunately, a new stand-alone USB drive which takes care of these maps is cheap.

  • Satellite A660 - will not start initialize drive HARD failure

    Hello
    first of all thank you for your time.

    Model: Satellite A660 (PSAW3A-07U00R)

    The problem started yesterday, the computer has been going slowly as a closed application, so I held the off button until the pc is turned off. When I restarded the laptop, it went to a screen saying: start windows normally or repair Windows (recommended)

    When started normally it hangs just a blank screen, repair Windows recommends a system restore to a previous point that did not work. As it crashes again. I tried pressing F8 and boot in safe mode, but even once it just hangs. Then, after having repeatedly tried safe mode and another system restore the computer then hangs when I press F8. After that, the computer passes in front of the Toshiba logo with F2 and F12 options screen (which still works) and then it rises the initialization has failed then shuts off and comes with start-up bootfailed failed with a few numbers and letters, then it goes to a small box entitled menu starting with 4 options. These are some
    Toshiba MK6465GSX HDD/SSD
    CD/DVD MAST * UJ141ES ABD - CMB
    FLOPPY DRIVE
    LAN

    If I press ESC, it passes through the loop of bootfailed and ends at the same screen, if I press on enter "HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX" then he quickly returned to the screen and at the bottom it says [HDD/SSD Toshiba MK6465GSX] failed.

    I do not understand why it has gotten worse over time. Can anyone think why it occurred and more importantly, how can I get my pc working again? Note: held 0 then start does nothing for me atm

    Best regards, Matthew

    Hello Matthew,.

    To be honest, I agree with Akuma and it could be related to a dysfunction of HDD the error you described, but ensure 100% there s no software problem, you should try the Toshiba Recovery disk Windows installation. Something may be confused until the Windows installation and recovery of files on the HARD drive, so it cannot be started. Recovery disc will resolve this problem by formatting the HARD drive and restoring the settings box.

    If it still doesn t it work s hardware malfunction but an authorized service provider can solve these problems under warranty for free. So just contact the guy and ask for help. ;)

    If you have other questions or already solved the problem, please let us know!

  • Satellite L300D will not start

    Hello

    I have a satellite L300D 11v. Power I have three lights green, power, suite and battery, DVD looking for some time nothing happens.

    Tried many things.
    Interchangeability and remove the ram with restarts
    Removing and replacing HD
    Remove the battery, hold the power button for a minute then power application and try to turn on,.
    As above with the battery.
    None of the above has worked, I suspect either of the BIOS chip lost his memory or it is fried.
    I will try to reinstall the BIOS memory, but without the work of the OS I'm not sure how do.
    And I'm not sure that the update of the BIOS I downloaded from Toshiba is correct because of the manual I downloaded was the L350, and yes I have enter the correct details to try three times. Neither seem to be able to know which is the BIOS. I would be grateful if someone could suggest what's wrong with the laptop or the update of the BIOS with the laptop in its current state. And if anyone knows what variant of the BIOS, is that I would also be grateful for this information.

    P.S. I noticed that the same problem was raised on August 12, 2012 with no resolution found.

    On this virtual path t is not easy to offer accurate diagnosis and to say with certainty what the problem is here, but somehow, I think that your BIOS chip is damaged. BIOS update will not help you with that.
    When you start your laptop is stays on or turns off after a certain period of time?

  • Satellite A30: Does not recognize USB devices.

    My computer does not recognize any devices when connected to the USB Port on my Satellite A30. After downloading SP2, I was able to install the printer, but I can't use it because there is no printer icon in the toolbar. If I want to print something I get the window of the printer, select printing, then it goes to the author of the Image of MS Office. Basically, I can't use my printer or any other device connected to a USB port.

    However, it was working perfectly fine when I had the home edition of XP but I can not reinstall this one because there is something wrong with the recovery disk that's why I had to install XP Pro.
    Also, I used to get a sound, letting me know that a device has been connected. I get more or the icon in the toolbar.

    Is that what I could do to fix this please? Is it possible to get another disc of recovery somehow? Obviously, it's something to do with XP Pro software, but I don't know what to do.
    Could you please help me?

    Thank you!

    Hello

    If you get a window of the printer you need to select the right printer. If printing goes to MS Office Image writer so the right printer is not selected.

    On the new installation: If you install the operating system from the original Windows CD you must install the necessary drivers and QFE patches all in the right order.

  • Re: My Satellite L350 does not recognize USB key

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L350-235. It suddenly stopped recognizing my usb key that I use every day. Normally, he would say "new hardware found" and allow me to click on the F drive, now I get nothing!

    Can someone advise me?

    I guess that the USB ports are working properly if you connect another device; something like USB mouse. Right?

    In my opinion, you should test the USB in USB ports.
    You can also try to remove the USB controllers and hubs from the Device Manager list.
    After restarting of new laptop, (ports) USB controllers must be recognized, and then you could connect and test the USB again.

    In the event that the USB is not recognized by one of the available USB ports, try to connect to another USB key.

  • Satellite 4100xcdt does not recognize HARD drive after update BIOS version 8.20

    My laptop is a satellite 4100XCDT with windows xp and I want to install linux.
    Have the cd bootable linux (tested on other computers) but laptop doesn't not boot cd shape so I updated the bios with version 8.20 from the toshiba support site.
    Tried the disks formatted 1.44 and 7.20 such as recommended in the manual of the 4xxx series. BIOS has been updated successfully

    Result: after pressing the switch of the usual screen Toshiba appears, after the disc hard led flashes for a few seconds then windows except modus menu appears. After I made my choice (all tried) a few seconds later (and hard drive led light) flashes a blue screen (not enough long to read the message) and the computer is restarted. When starting from a back bootable floppy, I can't reach the (cd rom) drives (hdd) C and D
    But in my opinion that Windows Save menu modus is called from the hard drive (so I think that the hard drive still works)

    Hello

    Well, in my opinion a part on the HARD drive or bootable partition might be corrupted.
    You are right, if the windows save mode appears therefore HARD drive has been recognized by the BIOS and the HARD drive is bootable.

    I think there must be something wrong with the data on the HARD drive.
    Something similar happened on my laptop several weeks ago. After you use the chkdsk/r, I was able to run the operating system again. But then I installed everything again.

    On the Toshiba page I found the companion disc.
    The accompanying disk is capable of detecting your CD-ROM drive on the
    Toshiba during the boot process. If you need access to your CD-ROM
    Hunt, then delete "rem" Word the following lines in the Autoexec. BAT
    and CONFIG. SYS on the accompanying disk.

    REM if exist toscd001 a:\mscdex D:TOSCD001 /M:10 (AUTOEXEC. BAT)

    REM device = a:\toscdrom.sys (CONFIG. (SYS)

    This popup you get exactly? You can post a screenshot of this message? This would be useful.

    Sorry, but what to say on this subject? Some clarification would be useful, and no one knows what operating system you have.

    If you have some problems with the webcam I would try to update the driver for the webcam. You can download it from the official website of Toshiba.
