• Satellite M30X-102: problems with foreign settings

  I just bought the laptop M30X-102 of the Germany, but I am from Greece. So everything is in German (which I don't understand), the recovery disk, documentation... So I ask if I can find the revovery disk in English language. How can I re - configure my system with windows English? (I think format...) Thank you...

  Hello

  It is a shame. I know the problem, if you have lost a Toshiba Recovery CD, then you go to a Service partner and sign a solemn declaration (it is a restriction of M$) and you will get a new recovery CD.

  You could ask a Greek Service partner if it is possible to do?

• Problems on the Satellite M30X 124

  Hello

  I have a Satellite M30X-124. He stopped the electric network load when the laptop is turned on. The battery seems to be OK and witnesses to support lights online when I play with the charge lead to the back of the computer. I tried another charger and it is certainly not the charger or the charging cable. The problem seems to be at the back of the laptop when the mainstream point of entry is.

  I referred to this problem in the decision-making authorized Toshiba service and they believe the problem is the motherboard and I would like to replace it (they have not seen or inspect the laptop). The only problem is that the replacement of the motherboard is like buying a new laptop for high cost. Any ideas?
  I believe that the problem must be that he connection between the charge lead and the entrance to the main power supply does not work and there may be something loose that can be fixed. I'd rather do something myself rather than spend a lot of money.

  Any ideas please.

  Thanks for your help

  Hello

  I wouldn recommend you do it by yourself, but could try. I heard that this phenomenon comes from a loose AC plug that must be welded to the card.
  Here´s a site that should help you in your mission: http://www.irisvista.com/tech/

  If in doubt then I suggest you buy a new machine, rather than spending money for your old beautiful Clipboard. ;)

• Satellite M30X-124 stucks to 591 MHz (Centrino 1.6 Ghz)

  Hello world!

  I have a 'M30X 124"which normally takes place on 1, 6 GHz, when I use it with my diet.
  No matter what I change on the speed of the processor in this Toshiba tool, it still works on 591 MHz!

  I have not used for 2 years. Now, I've seen this problem.
  My motherboard has been changed until I stopped using it. I read on some forums that it is a problem of communication of processor/motherboard... and it has a firmware update (or other) on CD that solves the problem. I tried this fix firmware from another laptop, but without success.

  Anyone know this problem?
  Where can I find this fix - CH?

  Thanks in advanche!

  Hello

  I doubt that you can solve this problem.
  The firmware must be updated by Toshiba service technicians

  This is necessary after the exchange of motherboard or the CPU will be blocked to 600 Mhz.

• Satellite M30X-124: battery not charging

  Hello

  the text by Googel translated hopes help.
  I have a laptop Satellite M30X-124 and has the following problem:
  My battery via the power supply with the company does not provide. It is emty completely also with the operation of the line and load yourself that in condition.

  It has been recently even others. The laptop was loaded with the operation on line and/or of the Akku is was also not unloaded. In addition if the Akku is empty, now shuts the laptop out despite the power supply and now still needs are better fully charged. Who me always been noticeable load ad (third LED) is orange and green afterwards. If the power supply is plugged in and I turn on the laptop, the LED does not glow. Also not if the battery to power after sick leave (the company) only if the Notebook on am, joint line operation and load, shining orange LED.

  If I switch now again start all over again from the front to the Akku'm still empty.

  Now to my questions:

  Should I have to exchange the battery? I use it for 1 1/2 years.
  The laptop has a defect?
  Should I have an error with the attitudes during the administration of energy? (however never has there that have changed) the connection to the laptop has it a mistake? Or the power supply?

  Please answer if possible.
  Sorry for the bad English

  Hi Rainer

  Your English is very difficult to understand, but I understand that you have problems with your battery.
  If you re not able to cherif battery so possibly the power supply is out of life.

  You write that your battery has worked for about 1.5 years. You know that it s able to charge and discharge the battery for about 500 times and after this period (1.5 to 2 years) the battery will discharge performance and the news is necessary.

  This news also knew not to me but after reading in the user manuals and field on some notebooks sites survey I m now a specialist battery ;) lol.
  Similar issues can occur for example with mobile phone batteries.

  I don t think that your laptop is affected by the battery Exchange program but of course, you can check the number.

  However, I suggest to replace the battery and check if it works.

• Satellite M30X starting problems

  Hello!

  My Satellite M30X doesn't start normally more. When I press the power button, it turns on, the fan starts, but nothing happens. Or sometimes it takes almost 5 minutes before then the Toshiba logo appears, it begins in place.

  After that, I sometimes get a message that the Smart HD feature has detected a failure in my HD. But not all the time.

  I have Linux and Win XP on my hard drive. When I use Win XP, it starts normally, then after a few minutes, I get the BOD with message IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL. Or sometimes, the system just hangs. If I boot mode safe, everyting works fine.

  On Linux, the system freezes after 30 minutes of use.

  I'm tempted to think that I just need to reformat my HD (I have a 100gig HD of Fujitsu), and everything will be fine. I have to try again. And also once again, on Win XP Safe Mode, everything works very well - I can't even use WLAN, and I am writing this same post! But if it's just a software or an OS problem, why not not my laptop start normally? I mean, why is that sometimes it does not start at all (the Toshiba logo does not appear), and I have to turn off my phone and turn it back on so that it works. Sometimes it is not boot at all, no matter how many times I try it turn on and off. The power on light comes on, fan will start, then fan turns off, light is always turned on and nothing happens. Or it could be caused by a faulty hard drive? Is that why it sometimes does not start at all? But if it is the HD, why is there not a problem in Mode safe?

  It is so weird coz it wasn't a problem before, and he appeared out of the blue.

  Any help will be appreciated! Thank you in advance!

  Hello

  To me, this looks like a hardware problem. I think it works in safe mode because other such graphics card device drivers are not loaded.
  As I know the IRQL error also occurs if the blue screen of death appears on the screen. I think that it us something wrong with the graphics card or the memory modules.
  I think you should ask the AEP from Toshiba for help.

• Satellite C40D-C - problems with the system

  I recently bought an a toshiba satellite C40D-C Series notebook PC as my old satellite - essentially - is dying. After you connect to the internet, I tried to download AVG Antivirus on my computer that I don't have - and never - trust McAfee anti-virus that comes with the computer. Every time downloaded AVG then restart my computer, the computer goes directly into the automatic repair system and doesn't let me do anything but to reset or restore. This has happened even with completely removed McAfee. I've been on AVG directly today (January 15), and they have to do remote set-up for me - with the same results. Yes, I'm aware that McAfee is a selfish cry of a system and refuses to acknowledge any other antivirus, but that this issue happens even with completely removed McAfee shows clearly that it is something that Toshiba has worked in the system. I can't even disable the automatic repair tool. I have to be stuck with a McAfee antivirus which, moreover, does not yet or is Toshiba will make an effort to help solve a problem they caused?

  Why this computer isn't allowing AVG Antivirus work? And why, after each attempt to download AVG, the computer goes to auto repair whenever I shut down or restart? Is this a problem with the system or something, Toshiba has done on purpose?

• Satellite P100-202: problems with screen again

  Hi all! I write about a problem with the screen of my Toshiba P100-202. I recently posted in the thread "Satellite P100-202: screen will freeze" and my current problem is actually quite similar to what is explained in the thread "Satellite P100-119: display no longer works. Here is my story, hoping someone can help me avoid having to send the computer to a technician:
  I decided after my previous problem, get my screen replaced. Everything seemed fine, except on the occaisonal instances, especially when I was using the "Internet Explorer" program, in which the screen sort of will re-start, IE. everything went black for a few seconds (music, etc. However would continue) then (boom) everything should reappear, sometimes in ultra - zoom for a second or two. The computer (OS = Windows 7) would report "problem with NVIDIA graphics driver", and then the operations would continue normally. This happened several times, but not often, and I was not too worried about it. Then, a few days before, I was using the latest release candidate of Internet Explorer 9 and the screen is blacked out and my music has continued and I thought 'OK, no problem' and then after a few seconds, and then the music stopped (and I thought ' uh - oh ') and then the blue screen of death.
  OK, don't panic, reboot, but of course there is no word of welcome, no nothing, just a blank screen, with the backlight still works created a worrisome greyish tint. And then suddenly the mouse appears, followed by the entire screen, so I unwisely rejected the incident. Ten minutes later, same thing and this time, not even the blue screen of death as consolement, just gray nothingness.
  A few days of rest, a dusting of battery, but no, even if I think the operating system works very well (caps lock light work and little purrs and snoring occur as usual), he has no doubt about the fact that the screen is not working.
  PS Sorry if my message is too long, and no, I don't have access to an external display!

  While I'm at it, someone is able to explain why a battery lasting 25 minutes can take several hours or even days to recharge?

  Post edited by: trrttrry

  Unfortunately I can not offer a final solution or diagnosis, but I think you should test the functionality with the original recovery image (recovery DVD) you have with your laptop.

  Install the OS using this disc and test functionality. If the same thing happen over and over again there must be a hardware problem.
  If you need to bring the laptop to the service ask first how much cost repair. Maybe it will be too expensive and you can buy the new laptop instead of paying lots of money to repair this old model of laptop.

• Satellite P100-347 - problem with the judgment during the game

  I have a problem with my (pspa6e) Satellite P100-347

  After about 10 minutes of play time with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on... my pc stops...
  I knew it was close because of high gpu or cpu temp...

  I felt that my laptop was warm, but after playing for a while its normal...

  So I installed HWmonitor to check my gpu, CPU and disk hard temp...

  That's what I show:

  THRM: 61.C - 141.F

  CPU: core0\1 - two 64.C - 147.F

  GPU: turn 85 stable - 90.C
  This normal use... no games...

  HARD DRIVE: 39.C

  Something must be wrong! GPU temp is too high?
  I tried a fresh install of the OS...

  Thnx for all the help and answers!

  Hmm these times can be a little high.

  Most likely there is dust in the radiator. You can use compressed air to remove it. Or as a miracle solution, blow into the vents dust closes in contrast to air circulation.

• Satellite M70-239 - problems with brightness adjustment

  Hello

  I ve got this laptop from my father after I buyed a new. Actually everything´s with him very well. But one thing is a little strange, I think.
  My old laptop and other portable that I had before, has the ability to control things like the brightness of the screen when you connect to load automatically. So not for this one. Nothing happens.

  Windows doesn´t also shows the remaining battery life expectancy and other things like that. These functions are not supported by this guy? I ve installed the latest bios version 1.70, which is available on the official website and I m using Windows XP.

  Someone at - it the same problem and is there a solution for this? Maybe you can help me.

  welcome them

  Hello

  Satellite M70 was delivered with Windows XP edition family, and Windows XP Home typical configuration. I imagine that you have installed all Toshiba tools and utilities, so it must there also have preinstalled Toshiba Power saver.

  He yiou can see profiles of different powers and each of them can be configured separately. Thus, when the laptop is connected to power notebook AC power will be the mode full power. There you can set LCD brightness to the maximum level.
  When the laptop is on battery will then serve others power plan. Compare the settings in two power modes and choose your preferred settings.

  Brightness level can also be changed with the key FN + F6/F7 combination.
  Of course, this will works if all Toshiba tools and utilities are preinstalled.

• Satellite M30X-124: Config Free tool

  Hi, I just installed WINXP pro + Sp2 on my M30X 124.
  I would like to install free Config tool. Anyone know where to find?

  [Edited by: admin December 20 04 20:16]

  I had the same question. I tried to reinstall it but the necessary update to the SP2 version is not available on the website and the CD has the previous version.

  It was easy enough, however, just go to the download page for the M30 Satellite instead of the M30X and it was there!

• Satellite U500-17F: problems with the new HARD drive

  Hi everyone, I got some troubleshooting with my Satellite and a new drive, I bought recently, because that is already damaged because of too many bad sectors. One is a Western Digital Scorpio Black 320 Bg (WD3200BEKT model number). It should be a fast reader but is not with my Satellite.

  After having mounted the drive in the laptop, I ran a new installation (with full disk format} Windows 7 (64 bit) with all the necessary drivers (that I downloaded directly from the Page of Support Toshiba.)

  The problem is that the laptop needs a lot of time to start and also to disable, and whenever I try to run an application or start a program (for example Firefox, or just a few windows applications), the laptop freezes for about 30 to 60 seconds, the drive no longer works (you can hear leaders put in position 'parking' and the HDD LED control is constant) ", no lights flashing).

  It seems that the drive (during this 30-60 seconds) in something as a stand-by mode. I ran a few Western Digital diagnostic tools and the car looks all right to 100%. It works also without any problems in the other laptop (HP Pavilion DV6500). Could this be a problem with the controller (Intel ICH9M - E ATA AHCI controller) driver?

  Any suggestion?
  Thanx

  Hello

  You use the latest version of the BIOS?
  Please check if you need a BIOS update. Of course I read in a few discussions on the similar question of Win XP you use Win 7 but its value to check the update of the BIOS and U500 series.

  In addition, I recommend check you the power of Windows 7 options.
  Disable in the power profile that you use power saving HDD.

  Just a question:
  You use the option AHCI in the BIOS?
  As far as I know it of possible to use either a compatible SATA AHCI mode.
  AHCI must be used because this option would use full SATA performance.
