• 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: how to burn on DVD - RW?

  Hello

  I was wondering if someone could show me how to use the DVD - RW in the Toshiba M30 604.

  I know how to record on a CD. Simply, do a right click, send on a DVD - RW and then inside the window, click on write these files to CD. However, when I place a DVD disc + inside and use this process, he said that there is no disc inside.

  While hoping somone could give me some advice.

  Thank you

  Hello

  First of all; Are you sure that you computer laptop also uses a DVD burner or only the CD burner to 100%.
  If the (disk) material doesn t supports the media if you are unable to burn the media.
  That's why first check the properties of burner.

  But if your drive is compatible DVD - and DVD + engraving so I would recommend using additional burning as Nero software to burn it to CD or DVD.

• Satellite M30X: reader will not read the DVD-R data but plays movies in DVD-R and CD

  I have a Toshiba M30X with combi DVD/CDRW drive.
  I have accumulated 12 GB of digital photo I wanted to erase but do not want the number of CDs that can be the so I bought an external DVD LITEON EZ - DUB and made 3 DVD - R burner of plenty of JPEG.
  However, when I put the DVD in the drive of Toshiba combi, it clicks for a moment or two, but when I click on the combi drive in my computer, the folder is empty and it is said there are 0 bytes.
  CD of still works, audio and data, DVD movies fine, reading DVD-R on my Pioneer DVD recorder (for TV - looks like a video/nothing to do with PC) plays very well, but he won't recognise DVD - r with data (JPEG or MP3) on them.

  It makes no difference what software was used (Nero 6.6) and LITEON EZDUB and it's okay if the discs are completed, a single session, multi session or what - it will not play any of them.
  However, these discs work perfectly in my old office to 7 years with a Sony DVD/CDRW combination of 4 years.
  I'm puzzled.
  I don't particularly want to reinstall windows, in the case where it does not recognize the recovery DVDs and I remember Microsoft a Note having activated by phone with a code that is different every time you ask him to generate a.
  It's a bit of pain that I wanted to make my pictures with me in my laptop bag.
  I won't be carting around an external DVD burner just to read the DVD.
  I've updated the firmware for SD - R 2512.
  He had no other effect freeze on a black screen on restart - I had to hold down the switch 15 minutes in this State.
  The laptop is 1 year and 26 days if that counts for anything.

  Anyone have any ideas? Or can I just put up with him.

  Hello

  Well, I can only make suggestions.
  You are able to place files many MP3 and Jpeg on DVD.
  This is perhaps a reason why Explorer cannot handle the DVD.

  Try to burn the DVD with photo JEPG, but do not have the full DVD with these files.
  You must leave a free space on the media. Maybe it helps.

  But it's very strange for me and it's just a suggestion. I've never tired it and don't know if it helps.
  I had a similar problem on my laptop but I solved using compatible media. Some readers prefer different media for different types of files.

• Satellite A300 Vista - will not start cd/DVD with backup

  Hello world

  I have a big problem with Toshiba a300. Windows Vista is not starts.

  Watch only the menu with 2 options: first "fix the system" - when I choose this option 10 seconds later I see messeage: click OK to turn off the computer.
  When I choose the second option in my laptop restart every time.

  I tried after turning on the computer, press F8, but all the option in this menu do NOT fix the problem.
  I have no CV/DVD to my computer.
  After the first time I don't burn DVD with backup.

  I have really now how can I install system with recovery patriction. What softwere I need and how do I do it?

  Thanks for help

  Hello

  Sat A300 and other new models of laptops are equipped with HARD drive recovery option. This HARD drive recovery should allow you to recover the laptop without the use of all disks.
  In order to start the procedure for HARD drive recovery, you need to press F8. Then choose the first option called fix my computer. Then new window pops up and there you have to choose Toshiba HDD recovery. All that s.

  But if this procedure don't work (no matter why) then you will need to use the Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t create a floppy disk for recovery of a hand and the laptop will not start, then you will have to buy a drive for recovery of this page:

• Satellite M30-107 - will not power

  Can someone please help?

  I currently have a problem with my M30-107, model PSM30E-7101V-7U, it lights or boot. All I get is the 'sector' and 'Power' light on the façade and the 'power' of light the multimedia button on top, no beeps or noise from the fan.

  One thing I noticed is if I disconnect the HARD drive and turn on the LED of the drive HARD rest turn on, and if I disconnect the DVD player light so that it lights up a second then turns off. Perhaps it is a feature of the model and part of pre-boot BIOS checks - do not know.

  At first I thought it was a fault with the motherboard, so I bought an exact replacement, including the USB ports, AV output, network & modem ports and socket connector DC with PCB power distribution, and even the speakers have been replaced! But it made no difference. Still only get the 'power' & 'Power' LED on.

  Then I tried to replace the CPU, but still the same. I also tried different RAM in different locations, new modem, removed card network wireless and fitted with a panel of media replacement keys - No difference. Disconnect the LCD screen, DVD player and HARD drive does not seem to make any difference either.

  Tonight, I tried capture the wires on the fan and splicing in a new fan using the existing record (I only had a spare with the right connector fan), but that made no difference. I also replaced the battery CMOS with a constant 3v DC supply - but still no luck. He's really starting to annoy me now :-(

  I just finished checking the tension of the PCB power distribution, and it seems to provide the motherboard with a constant voltage. I have ran out of ideas now.

  Everything has been replaced with the exception of the keyboard & touchpad and the CD key and indicator LED Panel on the front of the laptop.

  Anyone has any ideas what to try next? Any advice would be appreciated, I'm starting to pull my hair!

  Could someone also tell me the function of the small black chip that is mounted just below the LDC screen inside the lid of the laptop - part number 040-0004-946 Foxconn. I have not replaced either, but if I knew what it was I could be able to test it.

  Hello!

  Which is really strange, buddy! :(
  Have you tried another AC/DC adapter on this laptop? This is maybe causing this problem and so the laptop can start t properly check it!

  To be honest, I think the best way is you go to an authorized service provider. You need professional help, and the technician can check your laptop to determine the cause of this problem.
  This problem can't be solved in a few minutes, but it should not be a problem for a technician to the laptop.

  Good bye

• 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.

• CD/DVD RW drive bed but will not write...

  I use Windows XP and use the disk drive: Optiarc DVD RW AD - 7530A. Under "Properties" is the State of the device "working properly" and he plays both CDs and DVDs. However, it will not write. I tried several software programs, including windows Media Player. When I right click on the driver, there is a recording tab.

  The drive appears to work at first, but it can progress remains at 0% and the drive will continue as he does something, but it's not. If I try to cancel the burning using buttons in the software, nothing will happen. It will freeze my computer. The Task Manager will not work, and my only option is to keep the off button on the laptop until it dies. When I turn it back on, a small window pops up saying files are waiting to be transferred to disk, click on the bubble to continue (or something like that). If I click on it, then I see the blue screen of death and the computer shuts down.
  He also seems to have done something for my Explorer, it freezes too (I'm on Safari now)

• Vista Home Premium will not write to CD - RW; will write to the CD - R and DVD

  I installed all the updates window vista Home premium. I have a DVD/R/W/drive. Vista will write a CD - R disc and the DVD disc. Vista will open the media on a CD - R, DVD, and CD - RW, which is what I use.  Vista will not write on a CD - RW disc, sending the files on the drive, pop - up Vista says "insert writable disc in the drive", or he'll want to format the drive, formatting always fails; I removed the filter upper and lower; I used MR. FixIt, and she came back with "media in the CD/DVD drive is not writable '; the disks are writable, but they are not recognized by Vista in writing. Here are the nine on box Maxell CD - RW discs. I have no problem with vista, write files to a CD - R or a DVD to burn. Windows Media Player will burn music to these CD - RW discs. How can I get Vista to recognize a CD - RW as a recordable disc?

  a. click Start, click run, type sysdm.cpland then clickOK.
  b. in the hardware tab, click Device Manager.
  c. expand ligthscribe-ROM readers, right-click on the drive and choose uninstall.
  When you are prompted to confirm the deletion, click OK.

• Satellite A40-231: SD-R6112 will not read the DVDs I burned

  I finally got my DVD burner to work, but now the drive will not read the DVDs I burned, which, of course, defies the point of having a dvd burner in the first place... When I insert my dvd recently burned, "working" light lights and stays on. Same thing happens no matter how many times I take it out and put plug back in, restart my computer, etc... any ideas anyone?

  Hello

  @Magnus:
  Sometimes, CDs and burned DVD cannot be read with no closing sessions of engraving. You should check this option.
  In addition, this burning program did you use?
  I use Nero. Form is the program better combustion and I never had a problem.
  What you need to do is to test several DVDs. not all media work on the disc.

• 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: 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.

• 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 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.
