Satellite M30 restart

Hi all

I have a Satellite M30, which, after a few years of loyal and troubled, free service began to take a few minutes to start. I tried to fix this using the product recovery discs but can get no more than the screen asks me to insert the disc 1. After a few minutes of a blank screen, there is a beep and an 'error' message.

Can t really afford a new laptop and I'm a little worried about buying a 2nd hand, so this is my last hope.

Read what people are saying in these forums, I feel out of my depth and probably wont be able to understand all the answers that come my way. But if someone have any ideas then please let me know. Thank you. getcarter

P.S. I was in a curry the other day looking at all the laptops I could t afford, when I heard someone who brought a Toshiba and seemed to have the same problem. Unfortunately, the Currys staff didn't have much of a clue and could only think of hitting the 'C' button over and over and over and over again!

As far as I know Satellite M30 comes with 2 recovery CD (1/2 and 2/2).
The recovery procedure must be started with CD1/2. Check this and that!

  • 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.

  • The screen is black, but working satellite M30

    I have a satellite M30, I was watching a movie through another monitor when the battery is dead.

    Now, when I restart, the screen is blank. If I attach to the other monitor it works fine, but pressing the "Fn + F5" key will not bring my screen to life.

    All ideas are welcome.

    Hello

    The Fn + F5 key combination is one of the two screen options for change.

    I think that you will find an option to change the display in the properties of the graphics.
    You must mark the monitor 1 and check the use this device as the primary monitor

    I think that this should allow the screen of the laptop.

  • Sporadic satellite M30-304 USB failure mouse

    Have the laptop above under XP. After that 2 years running a mouse USB laser without probs, suddenly the pointer stops for a few seconds, then takes over again, stops, starts etc. Very maddening. There is an error message saying every so often the device connected to the USB port is not installed correctly.

    I uninstall the software for the mouse and the re - install, run all my anti-virus software and Tracker, still the same problem. the trackpad still works fine, so I decide it takes the mouse and buy a new one and install it. It worked fine for a few weeks now, so today the same problem!

    Did he have the same problem or know a solution?

    Hello

    I don't use a Satellite M30 but a Satellite M40.
    I use it for a year and I have no problem with my mouse.
    I can't believe that the laptop has a malfunction, because as you say in your announcement of new mouse worked initially.
    I have no idea why your mouse pointer stops. Maybe the mouse driver causes a strange failure.
    You can also try to remove the shape of USB ports, Device Manager.
    After restarting again the operating system should recognize the USB ports again with a standard configuration.
    Then, you can try to reconnect the mouse.

    You can also try to use the mouse without having to install the drivers for mouse manufacturing delivered. Check it out

  • How to use the external screen with my Satellite M30?

    Hi guys, I have the following problem:

    I have a portable Satellite M30-642 former. My keyboard it is completely broken (spilled something on it) so I use an external USB keyboard.

    Now that I bought a TFT I wanted to use it as a primary device, so I need to take the laptop to the external output.
    The laptop itself recognizes as a secondary screen already, but this isn't what I want.
    Problem is I can't switch from the display without the FN key devices!

    I tried to search the net and this forum - but the solution posted does not work for the M30. There is no option in the utility of HW and not in the BIOS to enable the external keyboard support.
    Please is there any other combination of keys that would work or a software utility that allows me to turn on? It's a really bad situation for me :(

    All solutions anyone? :(

    Greetings and thanks in advance

    Hello

    Please don't be crazy on me but I write here very often and somehow try to help, but I'm still irritated if someone thinks that anything is possible. Unfortunately, you have to accept that sometimes there is hardware limitation and there is nothing to do.
    I want to talk about primary and secondary monitor.

    On most laptops, the LCD is always set as primary and cannot be changed. So, as far as I know, without using the FN + F5 key combination you extend the desktop to external display and use both of them. Using display settings you should be able to switch to an external display only (display control panel settings NVIDIA advance settings and so on). Please test only because I don't have M30, but the principle is used the same.

    If you will be able to use external display only try to restart your laptop and see on which screen the office will be shown. If you will be lucky and office will be shown on the external display, try to extend the desktop to second monitor (laptop LCD).

    Good bye

  • Satellite M30: Questions about the battery, SD, energy-saving card reader

    1. After looking through the forums, it seems that my problem is not uncommon: my Toshiba Satellite M30 seems to have a life of the battery for about 10 minutes. Power not connected to the adapter, Windows detects 100%... 99%... Then 3%. Throughout the life of the battery is about 10 minutes, and I don't know why. Does anyone know? (Info from BG: laptop about 2 years, not too used)

    2. How will I know exactly WHAT model of Toshiba Satellite M30 I? (There is a code after the M30-part - I need this to find out what batteries I need to buy to replace)

    3. What is the nearest Service Center, I can talk to the United Kingdom with regard to my battery problem? From Toshiba Web site lists 20 companies different with Toshiba in them to the United Kingdom, and I have no idea which we touch!

    4. my SD card reader is a bit faulty. To put a SD card, no message appears to recognize the card - the laptop just doesn't recognize at all, and I do not see "SD card" or equivalent in "My Computer". However, if I put an SD card, and then restart the computer, I can see the SD card, it simply does not update while the computer is on, when I restart - cures for this?

    5. Finally, can I download the software of management of TOSHIBA POWER SAVER? I downloaded from this site but right now the only option when I open the TOSHIBA CONSOLE is 'Mouse' - there is no standby power options or network options or anything.

    Thanks in advance, sorry there are so many questions and they are so different!

    Cheerio,
    John

    Hello

    1) looks like a dead battery. It s not unusual that the battery will discharge performance after about 2 years. As far as I remember, you can load and unload the battery for about 500 times. After this period, the lifetime battery decreases faster. The same symptom occurs for example with a cell phone battery. I think you should ask the new battery Toshiba service partner. PS: The guarantee covers the battery for about a year.

    (2) it's very easy at the bottom of the unit, you will find a label with the serial number and the name of detailed specifications.

    (3) visit this site:
    http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?PF=true
    You will find the database with ASP together all over the world. These guys are responsible for replacements, repairs, etc.

    (4) number of SD card is very strange. On my Satellite SD card window opens if I insert the SD card. You can try to remove the SD card from the Device Manager reader and after that new reboot, the OS should has new charge card CD driver. Eventually, it helps.

    (5) I don't know what you mean exactly but on the Toshiba driver page, you will find the tool power Toshiba compatible and taken in charge. If you have downloaded from the area Sat M30 driver so I think you can use it only on this laptop.

    take easy B-)

  • Satellite M30 - beep Constant and powers On / Off by itself

    Last night I turned on my laptop Satellite M30 Special Edition and the login page appears, as usual. However, after entering my password the screen just went black and is stuck like this. After waiting a few minutes, I turned off the computer (hard restart my only option) and that's what Toshiba technical support told me to do the last time this happened (a few years ago). This is where the real trouble started.

    Tried to come back on the computer, but in addition to the white screen now is a constant beep sound (like a key is stuck perhaps). The only way to make the beeping stop was soft reboot of keys, which I did several times. CTRL-Alt-Del would stop the noise and computer would shut down for a few seconds, but then immediately join the beep goes again. I finally managed to get it remains powered off mode, which is the way he currently remains.

    I tried to unplug the AC and remove the battery and nothing, which makes sense. Just AC, he did the same thing, so try does not seem to be a battery problem. Tried to power a few times and always the same situation - white screen, the beep and the need to hold the power button for a few seconds get the machine to stop and stay off.

    Help, please!

    June

    P.S. I contacted support and they suggested to bring it to an authorized service center, but I don't want to pay large sums of money to fix something simple and and I don't want to pay for a serious problem that can't really be healed/fixed. Any advice or suggestions on what could be wrong would be greatly appreciated.

    Looks like a hardware problem - probably the motherboard. The only solution would be to take it to a repair center.

    I hope it's just a change in minor liquid that has damaged the keyboard, which should not be expensive to replace.

  • Satellite M30 - BSOD Stop 7F, 0x00000008

    Hi gurus!

    I have a problem with my Satellite M30 laptop, I turn it on and after completing all procedures of departure (and before doing anything) I get a blue screen with the following error message:
    STOP 0X0000007F (0 X 00000008, 0 X 00000000, 0X00000000, 0X00000000)
    UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP
    then, the computer restarts automatically.

    I found some info on this kind of error, and the problem may be caused by damage to the processor. I guess I can change it but I did not how or what I need, any of you can tell me if I can make the change and how?

    Thanks in advance

    Best regards

    Hello

    Hmm... your first idea is not bad... it really looks like a hardware failure and article Microsoft Knowledge on errors "STOP 0x0000007F" confirms this.

    Here is the doc mentioned.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/137539/en-us/

    According to this document, your problem may be caused by;
    -problems hardware or software, but the hardware failure is the most common cause.
    -CPU overclocking (but I think we could exclude)
    -corrupt (vivid RAM) memory
    -malfunction of the motherboard

    The last possibility would be the worst case, and I hope that it is 'ONLY' a bad RAM.

    I think you should check your RAM modules and if possible test your laptop with new RAM modules

  • Satellite M30 display fall

    Today, after almost two years of use without any problems, the led on my Satellite M30 901 crashed. Start using normally the laptop, the screen become "unstable", tremoring, vertical lines appeared, the brightness of the background changed successively on white green, purple, blue then normal, it was like looking through smog. Then he froze. I restarted the computer laptop, worked a bit and crashed in the same way. After the third restart normal, the problem appeared since the first image when starting. I tried to use an external monitor, but it does not work. Any ideas? Could this be the motherboard or the screen itself. I treated my laptop with great care, did not hit or drop it. Anyy suggestions or similar behavior? What is a defective graphics card? Thank you ver much!

    Hello

    Well, it's not easy to say what may be the problem. It s certainly a hardware fault but I t can give you a detailed response. You need a diagnostic test that can be done in ASP.
    In my opinion, you should ask the partner to Toshiba service for detailed information.
    Maybe it's s inverter only one FL or one of the cables is loose, but for this info, you should ask the ASP.

  • Satellite M30: CD ROM is not working properly

    Hi all

    Please bear with me - I am a newbie to this!

    I have a Satellite M30 and have problems with the built-in DVD ROM S6112 player.

    It plays fine bought audio cd and rips OK. Does not seem to play bought DVD of either. Can not burn blank CD - R or RW or copy files of data on it. Does not recognize any kind of blank discs - clicking noise once the disc is inserted.

    I had to buy a drive hard ext (non-Tosh) that works very well on all the above - but it is not convenient for me to carry the entire hard drive in my work!

    Can someone help pls. ?

    Rgds

    Mike

    Hello

    These disc problems usually occur because the wrong lens calibration.
    In this case, there is nothing to do and especially the replacement of the drive may solve the problem.
    But first, you should try to remove the drive from Device Manager. After restarting again the operating system should recognize the drive again.
    You can also try to run the troubleshooter in the properties of the drive.

  • High temperature CPU on Satellite M30

    Hello

    I have a Satellite M30 852 with Pentium M 1.5 GHz processor. My problem is that the heater does not start until the CPU temperature reached 70 degrees, which I think is a bit high, no mention that when it has reached this temperature I can not keep the laptop on my legs because it burns... and also to kind of warm around the touchpad and left side of the keyboard.

    My question is if there is any software I can use to take the cooler start at low temperatures, to keep, or if there is no setting I can adjust the laptop utilities to solve this problem (in addition to throttle CPU cooling where is defined in the performance).

    Thank you all in advance!

    Could PS: Anyone tell me which button support when starting, to get into the BIOS...? Because the F1, esc or del does not work.

    Post edited by: master of ceremonies

    Hello

    The temperature of 70 ° C nothing unusual and in my opinion not too high.
    Is that it s not recommended to use the laptop on your legs or in bet, etc.
    You should always be sure that there is enough free space (left, right, bottom) around the laptop for the circulation of fresh air!

    Usually, the Toshiba power saver controls the cooling method and the CPU processing speed. If you want to change some settings you should the fact in the basic power saver menu.

    PS: on m30 the phoenix BIOS has been installed and therefore, you should use the F2 key.

  • Satellite M30, partitioning

    After that I got some error messages and viruses so I had to format my laptop the Satellite M30.
    I used the recovery CD Toshiba 2 and the only option for me was Option 1 Option 2 is reserved for specialists, and I'm not familiar with all the terms it. In any case, the formatting not only formatait the C:\ but D:\ thus merged the formerly 2 x 30 GB in a single C:\ partition, I had no option to stop this.
    How can I split my C:\ drive again into 2 partitions of the same size?

    Sorry, but the only way with the delivered software on a M30 to create partitions is the expert mode.
    As far as I know.

    But I have a proposal.

    Tomorrow I'll do a recovery on my M30 will inform you as soon as possible.
