• Satellite M30-604 - mechanical hard drive failure

  My satellite M30 604 is guaranteed (bought 10 months ago) and my Hitachi travelstar hard drive crashed unexpectedly. The accident is probably mechanical, so I can't use data recovery software (makes things worse). The only way to get my data is to give the HD a specialist who will open in a 'white room' for something like 300-600 Euros (!) and try to recover as much as possible. Now:

  -> Toshiba said that if I do that, the guarantee is void and I will also have to pay for a new disk (100 euros)

  -> If I want to replace the disk (warranty) then toshiba Gets the old drive and I lose my data forever!

  WAIT A MINUTE GUYS!

  (a) it's my data, my work and you CAN'T make me blackmailing you with such things 'warranty void. I want my old crushed drive back! I want to try to recover as much as I can! my 10 hour work - someday is here!

  (b) Moreover even if the heads of the drive crashed, my PERSONAL, PRIVATE data are always in the disk and CAN be read with special techniques. How toshiba (or any other company for that matter) asking me to give it to them?

  What should I do?
  What would you do?

  Hello
  I sympathize with your problem and can suggest only the following reflections:

  1. the recovery of your data seems the most important factor here. I suggest you to remove the HARD drive so that it can be sent to a specialist to retrieve data are possible.

  2. Since the removal of the disc HARD not not usually involves a broad dismantling of Notepad it should not invalidate the remaining warranty (other than on the HARD drive itself).

  3 replacement HARD drive can generally be obtained quite a beneficial one of internet sellers price (check using GOOGLE to a suitable replacement). You can then reinstall your OS recovery CD.

  4. I suggest investing in a bunch of backup software (such as Norton Ghost) to avoid this problem in the future. (I had four replacement hard drives on my Satellite A30 in the past 12 months).

• Satellite M30-604 does not start after upgrading RAM

  I have exactly the same problem with a Satellite M30 604! I have 2x1GB sticks and screen stays black. It works if I use one of the 1 GB sticks and one the old 256 KB stick but not the 2x1GB sticks as it should be (according to the specifications of my model manual).

  Boths glue work perfectly, I tried to the sepparately.

  In addition, computer does not work with the single 1x1Gb stick, mandatory I have to combine a new (1 GB) with an old (256Kb), or just stay on the two old sticks...

  What can I do? PLEASE, I BEG YOU!

  Hello

  Satellite M30 can be upgraded up to 2 GB of RAM, but you must use compatible RAM modules.
  As far as I know, you can use the modules of PC2700 and PC - 2100 DDR SODIMM 200 pin.

  I think that you problem is certainly linked to a not entirely compatible RAM modules

• Satellite M30-604 external usb hdd boot failure

  Hello world

  Hard drive problems seem never to end for me.

  I have a satellite M30-604. Recently my Hitachi HDD crashed. Now, I am trying to boot from an external hard drive via usb, but I can't.

  (a) I use a ViPower 3.5 "(model VP9258T) enclosure external usb 2.0"
  (b) with a Seagate 200 GB hard drive.
  (c) I used the recovery cd to install windows on the seagate
  (d) the bios (v1.4) seems to support the external device to start
  (e) the internal hdd crashed is deleted (it's internal hard drive space is empty)
  (f) the bios sees the drive and recognizes it as a USB

  I think it should work, but when I turn on the computer, after a while, he says: "0201: failure IDE #0"
  and gives me the options to run the program installation or start-up.
  When I choose boot it gives me the window with "boot in safe mode" screen, 'last known good configuration' etc, but nothing of the work options (it restarts and gives the same again).

  Any ideas please?

  Hello

  My research on this subject has led me to believe that it is not possible to boot an operating system of attached USB HDD XP. I read several posts on various usenet groups on this issue, and the consensus of opinion is that it is simply not possible.

  Several suppliers of BIOS claim allow a USB HDD to be suitable for start-up purposes but I still have to attend such a machination succeed with XP.

• Satellite A85-s107 - white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

  Satellite A85-s107 white screen at startup by using the power of the battery

  When I boot A85-s107 in battery power, it is get booted up in the background, but my screen is empty.
  After that if I connect it to AC power and switch deactivation/activation of the laptop power button, the screen comes back to life.

  There is no problem when I start upward when it is connected to an electrical outlet.
  Battery is fully charged and computer will work off the battery voltage if I remove AC after boootup

  Any suggestions?

  PS:

  also note that when I remove AC and then reconnect I start the computer on two occasions that it does not start the 1st time?

  Don t need to recharge the battery if the AC adapter is plugged ;)
  Try the tips posted by Alex otherwise it of a hardware problem, in my view, there seems to be something wrong with the motherboard...
  In this case, only the replacement could help and it could be a costly affair

• No satellite M30 604 no display & beeps at startup

  When I turn on my Toshiba Satellite M30 604, there is no display and it is 1 long beep and 2 short beeps

  I know that is not the problem of memory, because I replace it.
  When I remove all memory other beeps can be heard.

  Anyone know what the beeps.

  What can I do?

  I think the beep code is a graphic chip problem. My other laptop (not a Toshiba) gave the same error beep, I had to replace the motherboard.

• Satellite M30-604: USB Port can not find the driver

  Hello

  I keep having the same problem on my Satellite M30 604 when connecting to a USB device.
  It does not really matter with this kind of device, the problem still.

  Whenever I have insert the USB plug into one of the slots, my home XP keeps popping up the wizzard software.
  Even with devices without drivers such as USB keys, it keeps bothering me and finally tells me that it cannot find the right driver.

  If I try to install a printer, it installs the software found, but finally stops the operation because it can't find the driver (?). I don't know in what direction I should look at to solve this.

  So if anyone can help me on this, I would be very grateful!
  Edwin

  Hello, Edwin

  It's very strange because it is not necessary to install a USB driver and standard Microsoft USB driver should work well. I put t know if this can help, but please check this page

  This fix is also part of the factory settings (recovery image on the delivered CD). By the way: your device is about three years old and it will be interesting to know since when you have this problem. Just for example: I have more Satellite 1900 with USB 1.0 and use USB keys and drive external HARD without any problem.

• Satellite M30-604: unable to connect to the WLan

  Hi all

  I have some problems with my toshiba SM30-604

  First of all, I find the product in the section support somehow, even I can't find it by giving the serial number! ???
  Even with the program auto-detection!

  The other big problem is with the wireless card.
  Since the first time I bought the laptop when I tried to connect with some internet wirless networks I had problems with certain types of escryption of these networks.

  If the network is an escryption
  WPA,
  WPA 2,.
  WPA - PSK
  WPA2-PSK
  I can not connect to this network and he brings a message, something like "the network may not be available at this time" Although it is.

  Even if has a WEP encryption and password isn't a 10-digit is brings a message like "the neck should be 40 bits or 104 bits and 5 or 13 ASCII characters and 10 or 26 hexadecimal characters.

  The last days I can not connect to any wireless network for the above reasons.
  I know that its an old pc, but it is very good even for today an I still use it even I have other laptops

  Please can someone help me?
  Will there be some updates for my card toshiba wireless?
  I downloaded the automatic detection tool, but it does not recognize my pc model

  Under my pc has this data:

  SM30-604
  model No. PSM30E-0SY2K-GK

  the wireless card must be the:
  Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 3B Mini PCI Adapter

  I'm desperate this problem.

  > First of all, I find the product in the section support somehow, even I can't find it by giving the serial number! ???

  The portable M30-604 PSM30E-0SY2K-GK is an old classic. Right?
  Well, Toshiba driver European page you will find three categories: Archive, book and Options.
  If you don't find this portable model of laptop in the computer category then I would say that the next step should be archiving. Right? To me, it seems plausible to check the area archives due to the age of the laptop.

  In addition, the books are sorted by serial number; means that you won't find satellite M30 604 but Satellite M30 PSM30E.

  To my knowledge the Intel (r) PRO/Wireless LAN 2100 supports only 802.11 B Wlan standard and only the key WEP, WPA, encryption (AES +).
  FTP://download.Intel.com/support/wireless/WLAN/SB/intelprowireless2100mpci_prodbrief.PDF

  This means that if the WiFi network is not set to 802.11 B and if the WiFi network has been set to WPA2 encryption, so you won't be able to connect to this network.

• Satellite M30-604 freezes and the fan does not work after replacing

  Satellite SM30-604. Laptop has left the mat from one day to the next and overheated! Fan won't spin and laptop start only occasionally. Thinking that the fan was fault I replaced the fan but even this new fan doesn't spin. The heat sink is totally clean - dust free inside the fins at all. The laptop is only 2 years.

  Cooling using forced (by sticking a nozzle of aspiration to the output of the cooling fan!) the laptop starts sometimes as normal until the desktop screen with all of the usual icons and no error message. But then, it does not further - the freezing of the screen, keyboard and mouse.

  Most of the time it does not start at all. When it does not start, the blue LED lights up but there is no hard disk activity or LCD at all - even the wifi LED lights even.

  Really grateful if someone knows what's going on. You are not sure if it is the main processor that is defective?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello, Charlie

  As you know on this path is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but according to your assignment, I guess there is a complex problem and unit must be properly verified. I also think that there must be a problem with the electronics.

  It is really possible that the motherboard needs to be replaced but, as I already said, it is not possible to say something specific about your problem. Try contacting Asp and you will see what they say.

  Good bye

• Satellite M70-340 - white screen before windows loads

  I have istalled a new Windows XP on my laptop Satellite M70-340, and after having installed the drivers and the Quick Fix Engineering I restart the laptop...

  The laptop is the auto start and it stopped just before starting the loading (white screen and no disc HARD answer stopped - HDD led lighting-)
  I am able to get into the BIOS and change the boot order.

  I boot from the recovery cd, but it is is stopped with the same blank screen just before his screen should start.
  I boot from the Windows cd, but it is is stopped with the same blank screen just before the blue screen should start.

  I unplugged the battery and pluged in again and the problem continues to be.
  I have restored the defaults in the Bios, but it didn't work.

  Please help me

  You see the Toshiba start screen at the beginning of the boot process?

  I searched this forum for the same problem on M70 but I found nothing didn t.

  But I do remember that one of my friends had a similar question. If the adapter has been unplugged the system locked and the screen is dark.
  It has fixed in powerplay disable in the ATI graphics settings and it didn't put the CPU low speed in Toshiba Power saver mode fixed.

  But like I said this happened only together running the operating system without the AC adapter.

• Satellite M30-604 only see a capacity of 128GB HARD drive from 320 GB HARD disc

  I have a M30 604 with XP - SP2 and bios version 1.7

  Akuma is right. This is a technical limitation and there is nothing you can do about it.
  With SATA HDD, it might be possible to see all HARD drive capacity, but not with PATA old drive.

• Satellite L510 shows white screen with a cursor frozen only

  {color: #000000} After turning on my Toshiba Satellite L510 the splash screen displays an image, then the pass empty with a cursor frozen in the upper left corner.
  I am currently using Windows 7, but the computer will not load in front of the start screen.

  Because there is some personal information on the hard drive that has not been saved, I hesitate to do a system restore in the fear of losing all my data.

  Someone had similar problems recently?
  Anyone has a good solution to retrieve my personal files and restore the computer to a good working order?
  Thank you in advance.

  Kind regards

  Hey Buddy,

  I think that you can't do anything more. In my opinion, you did everything write and now it s time for professional help because it seems to be a malfunction of equipment that should be checked to a service center.

  You should contact the guy and ask for help. I think that everything can be clarified with them.

  In addition, you can access data from another PC. You only need an external HARD drive enclosure that creates an external HARD drive.
  And maybe you can keep the HARD drive at home if the service center don t need.
